Slowly starting to dislike Rogue Legacy. Heading towards to the second boss but I'm not sure if I want to. With these roguelikes that nature starts working against them the second you start being familiar with the content. There's just not much surprises anymore. I can't shake the feeling that Rogue Legacy doesn't have a big variety of rooms. I keep seeing the same rooms again and again. Beyond that the grindy nature just isn't my thing. Mechanics aren't as tight as I'd like either. Comparing it to Castlevania isn't very kind to Rogue Legacy.
Maybe I'll give it another go in any case. See if it gets better.

Morning folks!
Ah, yiss! opposing Force all over me. One of the best Add-ons I ever played...
...damn Dunder, taunting even in real-life.
Wouldn't be out of place in the PSP prinny games

I wasn't being serious and was not interested enough to look at the store page.
...spoilers do suck, though.

You just insulted roguelikes and Castlevania and misdefined roguelikes (Rogue Legacy is not a roguelike).
You are now my mortal enemy and if I ever see you in real life, we're having a fight to the death.
when you put it that way... lemme tell you my thought process:
so you like AssCreed, which are pretty bad as far as games go, but you can't even describe how bad Thief is? Have we new possible low? Or is it on the level of bad rats after all?
OK, I'm convinced, it's not even $5 game, will wait until bundled (><)
oh boy, that's brilliant idea, I really like this feature too.
but it doesn't always work, unfortunately

And whoever loses will have to restart life from the very beginning
RU means the sub is specific to Russia and (generally) other Eastern European territories. ROW stands for rest-of-world and refers to all regions not covered by region-specific subs. A sub is the package/licence you purchase/activate that contains your desired game, any included DLC and the game data.
Sounds Irish.
I'm not a fan of heavy makeup. Lovely girl otherwise.
Are there people interested in Out of the Park Baseball 15? Got a key left, not for Steam though, but I already have a copy. Or should I wait until more Americans are woken up?
Probably. Outside of a few Asian countries, Baseball is only popular in the new world.

It's fine, Dunder did with it as he wished. As long as Yian plays and enjoys it, there's no hard feelings
With absolutely no persistent unlockables between lives, like god intended.
AssCreed is great! I mean, you can jump, unlike Thi4f.
ya, I know you think AssCreed is the best thing on earth, but in fact, your tolerance level is very high, so my reasoning is still valid!

Yeah, she tends to cover up her freckles when attending premieres and the like. I'm not a freckle person but in her case they're not bad.
Nuh-uh!

I get the suspicion you don't like that game
If I didn't buy it due to the pre-order goodies I'd probably be offended at how little I care for it.
Whatever it is it's kind of mediocre. I'm still going to call it a roguelike. I mean the name just implies the game shares something with Rogue? Where is the line drawn I wonder. Comparision to Castlevania can't be helped since it seems they were a little ""inspired"" by Castlevania.
But yeah let's fight.

I'm interested! I was considering getting it on Steam since it is on sale for 50% off right now. It seems to be highly recommended, but I've never played the series before so I was hesitant.
sorry, my mistake, I had in mind - the third best thing on earthYeah, she tends to cover up her freckles when attending premieres and the like. I'm not a freckle person but in her case they're not bad.

lol xD well ... if you put it this way ...

He didn't actually give it, he was trolling. I don't think dunder has any intentions of letting go of that blur copy anytime soon anyway.
Really great game, best in the series so far. Will do a giveaway after I've finished my work.

If you want Thief with prettier graphics, just play The Dark Mod instead.
unfortunately the combat in abyss odyssey isn't very fun :\ feel like there's a huge lack of moves. even once you unlock all 3 specials for each character, it's not much. oh well. game is ok so far, frustrating at times, and sometimes the maps aren't created very well (spikes you can't avoid after jumping down). not really sure what i'm supposed to be doing with my gold because everything is expensive and im bad and die.

Is Steam still down?
I am trying to add rionaaM as a friend but I get an error. "Error adding friend. Please try again."

I get the feeling 'Rougelike' is being repurposed and used interchangeably with the word 'Niche'. If I must have to pigeonhole something to explain a type of game I'm playing that has Rougelike elements I much prefer to use Rougelike-like. It will catch on damn it!
And who knows, maybe all three of those might align in the same game one day. It will probably be called The Rupture.

Just checked, he has 330 friends. Looks suspicious. Guess you're right.
rionaaM, how we gonna play Left4Dead2 later without you kicking someone
Try blocking all communication (More -> Block all communication), unblocking and then adding. This should do the trick if it's not a friends list cap issue.
If Ubi cast her in a lead role I'd probably never stop playing it.

A roguelike is a turn-based RPG with randomized quests and stuff like disease and hunger. That's it. All of these newfangled games that use some of those mechanics are typically called roguelites, as a placeholder name until we come up with a better one. There have been some attempts but everyone thinks "procedural death labyrinth" is a stupid name.
Some people do say that!

I'm sure some people will be pleased to hear that Hatoful Boyfriend is getting some updates according to SteamDB and the store page has appeared

Fudge yes.

I don't really need a tag, but I figured I'd get one to make people jealous. Is it working?
I imagine there's something of an interesting story behind why Thief ended up so mediocre. I'm guessing it's development represents the apex of executive meddling from Square to their Eidos studios. It's just so bland, and it has all the marketing bullet points of attempted blockbuster. The whole thing with rolling back the experience point feature seems telling. "Popular games have bar filling!" "That's stupid and doesn't make any sense for our game!" "BAR FILLING!" "Look! People who saw the previews didn't like it, we're taking it out!"
It does nothing particularly well. The most I can say about it is that swooping is kinda neat, pickpocketing is okay, and the side missions basically represent what the entire game should have been--open ended missions based around theft.
I really wish tell all post mortems were common.

WindForge is a janky Terraria with a steampunk theme. I thought it seemed lame and did not like what I played.
Stacking is a cute but gameplay-light and slightly too easy puzzle game thing.
ReignMaker is a pretty well-done match 3 game with a tacked-on shmup aspect (when you make matches you shoot at enemies) and a token "strategy" city-building part.
Paranautical Activity is a good and extremely fast-paced roguelite FPS that requires some serious MKB skill. I personally can't deal with it (yet).
[Didn't play Strife because screw it.]
Darkout is an even jankier Terraria than WindForge, but with prettier graphics at least.
Signs of Life is yet another Terraria-like, and in this one I couldn't figure out how to leave the drop pod you start in so clearly the game sucks.
[I have no idea what Curse is so screw it again.]
Lifeless Planet is a weird one to review since the actual journey is pretty compelling, at least if you like enjoying a desolate world, but the end result is unsatisfying and corny. You don't hate it as you play but you kinda do when you look back on it after you finish it.
Edge of Space is the least janky Terraria-like in here and seems OK. Didn't dig very deep yet.
Blocked him. But now there is no unblock option?
There is a view blocked users section in the friends section, under your user name tab

The unblock option is tucked away on your friends page.

Sometimes games go bad even with executives who want the team to make the best they can, and don't meddle much. I don't know anything about Thief though, and haven't played it. When I retire in 35 years I'm gonna write a book.

Ok, unblocked him and tried adding. Still same error. Guess he has hit the limit.
Thanks for explaining, first time using these features.
