I expect you to play it and post a ton of screenshots if you're truly not scared
Bonus points since you have to make a Reality Pump account to play it, I think.
Oh, I can think of reasons to hate an Adults Only game. NSFW, obviously.

you can't put a price on sparks
I had enemies stuck on the wall but other than that and the vsync issue which you can force outside of the game I havent ran into any absurd problems.

Have I mentioned how dumb buy orders are for selling? People just game the shit out of it by putting in an order for 20 cents + lower than the lowest listing, some dummy sells for that price, rinse, repeat until stuff is worthless faster than it used to be.
I tried co-op w/ frosty and it was really annoying that the game would stop for me if he died and a soldier took his place... took me out of my game, man..
also hitting each other sucks. wouldn't be that big of a deal but you get more enemies and stronger ones too in co-op

Ok, gonna stream an attempt to playthrough Abyss Odyssey on my twitch. Let's see if you can see the tearing and if the game will give me the game breaker for the 3rd time.
Actually from what I've seen it's exactly the opposite. In the past, someone would list a cheap card and it would sit for a while if there was low demand, then someone would undercut and someone else and it only took 2 or 3 people to drop a card price drastically and permanently. Now those cheap cards disappear instantly (and also are less likely to get listed at all for that much lower due to the interface), so cards follow a more gradual curve downward. I've especially seen this happen with rare emoticons and backgrounds which have actually seemed to stabilize and even increase since buy orders were put in.

It's great for my wallet though
Honestly, I've never had to sell for lower for more than $.01 below the average price on cards, even with the new buy orders. If anything, it's made buying cheap cards easier and selling cards about the same, for me at least. You just need to be patient and wait for prices to level off or get really lucky.

Already put 5+ hours into AO. I'm definitely enjoying it.
Im saving Ghost Monk run for tomorrow. I might be also playing coop on ps3
Why not just fix the tearing first?
Ingame Vsync is shitty double buffering in most games, no reason to get worked up about it here. D3DOverrider is your friend.

Fair enough. I'm just seeing people play chicken with prices for AO cards and it's kinda silly.
It just feels like it's easier to sell stuff when it's first available with the old method. I dunno.It's great for my wallet though

Me too. I just need to unlock what's-her-spear and get to capturing stuff so I can fill out versus mode.

Hopefully you see this; it's well done, and already quite polished. You choose a quest for your character, and you essentially try to finish it first. You can choose how long the quest is when you start too, which affects the time the game takes. I like it, but I do think that each turn takes too long for an online game. That said, if it were a board game or pbe thing then it would be perfect.

Me? See what?!
Brand new cards is a market I don't even dip my toe in any more, it's just a recipe for disappointment. The whales are smart enough now to know to wait for prices to stabilize, you might get lucky and find someone impatient wanting to do their badge immediately, but more than likely you'll just get undercut rapidly. From what I've seen unless you get one of the first couple of card sales, the price on the first day will actually bottom out and then prices will drift back up slightly the next few days. Personally I'd list the cards at the price you want to sell them for and then re-evaluate in a couple days if they haven't sold and see where the trends are going.

Buy orders are great for putting in a typo price and getting something for ridiculously cheap.

Its to stop the auto refresh macro trigger bots, still doesn't help much, look at all the lv0-2 that own $250 items on the markets >.>
I'm just gonna wait it out with my Abyss Odyssey Cards since I got 8 of them. (brother game me his). I think I'm gonna wait til prices stablize (they might end up dropping more though)

I love both of them :x maybe I just have a thing for clunky games? They're mechanically sound, they're just slower than you'd expect.
And right after I complained about AO card prices I sold 2 for 52 cents each. Not bad...
Speaking of getting rid of stuff (someone mentioned it, honest) anyone want my 7 stickers capsules and 1 case 3? CSGO items. Free. I don't want this shit.
I'd love it if someone released The eXperiment again. Though I wonder which art they would use.
Oh damn now I do kinda want to jump on it. I still can't believe my QBert cards sold for 1$ each for 2 of the cards and the other was 75 cents.
The one on the right. More appealing character, better (and less creepy) tagline.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
Another company. I won't say much more and jinx it, but it's not in the game industry, which means I would be free to continue working on Enhanced Steam in my spare time.
Also, thanks everyone for the well wishes!
Has Drinkbox talked about adding the new stuff to PC? I hope it's coming as well. I need a good excuse to play it again.
That's part of it, but the main reason is to kill the bots.
She needs me?! Is this a waifu game?

I believe someone (Nito perhaps?) linked a post by a dev saying they would address animations like that based on feedback.
Speed is out of a late 80- 90s beat em up for both games. Speaking of that I should play Final Fight 3 soon. Wonder if the cartridge still works.
I'd play, but I'm having dinner in less than an hour, which means I won't have enough time to finish the campaign.
I always found it funny that they sexed it up for the US box. Definitely agree on the tagline though.
It's...different.
Kind of like that Republique Kickstarter game, except that Experiment doesn't suck.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
I'll be slowing down posting the scoreboard because I don't want to be annoying*
We got three additional codes in today from two exceptional people and I have just one thing to say: thank you!
Default Two lives up to his name and gave two codes.
Gunstarheroes shows that he is as classic as his namesake and contributed one code.

I think Oblivion is worse, and Morrowind is better, but they get more complex as you go backwards though.
I think no one mentioned that actually.
If you're having a blast with Skyrim, I think you'd enjoy Oblivion too (and its better imho). Morrowind is better than both though, but that might be a bit too old by now to enjoy properly.. sadly. But there's a pretty nice overhaul mod for Morrowind so in case you want to play it, at least the graphics will be good for the most part.
