Didnt the devs somehow stopped developing it, even though its still more or less an early-access title to work on their new title?
Dusk Golem

I decided to be that brave soul.
They did give it a final update before abandoning it but there's enough game there to justify an on-sale purchase.
Though if you're specifically looking for a First Person Binding of Isaac clone then you may want to look elsewhere because despite all the updates the game does feel half-baked.

I just remember there was some drama about some announced features that were scrapped (a coop-mode IIRC) and some other things, because the devs wanted to create a new game.
If so, then its still shitty. Promising people sth./announcing something in an early access title, then abandoning it.
ACTUALLY!
It hasn't been abandoned!
(Just checked the forums)
There was a post earlier in the year that suggested they had stopped development but apparently it was misconstrued.
Though multiplayer was scrapped due to coding problems, they just updated it on May 8th with a bunch of new content and are working on more.
Let me have my first giveaway. It's a code for the site, not for Steam.

Out of the Park Baseball 15 -- MB-F92AADBEC52F21F2
Can you link? Because I recall the posts and they were pretty hard to misinterpret. Like Chuck posted, they stated in no uncertain terms that they were done and already working on their new game. They promised one final patch (the one that dropped in May) and that was going to be it.
RPS has had it as a tag for some of the articles going back about 2 years now. I think there was a game on Steam claiming to be the first Rougelike-like-like. It's catching on!
There does seem to be a bit of confusion with a few peeps as to what is and isn't the gameplay mechanics and systems that would class a game as a Rougelike. I'm not sure if seanspeed was confused himself or got lead astray by others when he referred to Papers, Please as a Rougelike but I've seen some waaaaay worse generalisations on other forums as to what is a Rougelike.
lol, didn't know I had so many people. I'll make some room tonight, I may have some non-GAFfers and non-real life friends there who I can remove. I'll add you once I am able to!Just checked, he has 330 friends. Looks suspicious. Guess you're right.
rionaaM, how we gonna play Left4Dead2 later without you kicking someone
Managed to get my old copy of the 1997 Blade Runner game to work on my laptop. Someone needs to get it up on GoG and Steam, even with the issues of licencing, I completely forgot how good the game was for it's time.
Comparing to something like Wolf Among Us, theres no hand holding, no quest markers or way points, actual investigation of evidence, widely branching story, great setting and even some gun play to boot. What I really like though is the dynamic story. Before you even start the game, it will set characters to a certain alignment, meaning that on that playthrough they will react to suit that but also limit what branches of the story are possible in that instance, even altering evidence and dialogue to fit with the consequence of your actions specific to that playthrough.
Highly recommend grabbing it although it's probably very rare at this point. One day maybe it will resurface on GoG or Steam somehow. There is a new movie coming so who knows

Very generous!
Speaking of licensed games, it's been around 9 months since Konami decided to reacquire the Saw licence out of the blue and we still have no idea why. I'm beginning to wonder if there's no intention of actually using it and somebody just thought it'd be a good idea to get the game back up on the store due to its status as a rare and coveted curio among traders.
It'll be okay.

I hate to be that guy but I don't care for adventure games where you can die and/or your death is determined by something you did 10 screens back. It's one of the things i like about the telltale games, and sure you can die in the Walking Dead but it's not some shit that may require that you replay the entire game over it.
I would buy Dune (1992) too, everywhere, on gog and on steam and drm free and, well you get a gist. Not that it's anything like Blade Runner (any of them), I just remember it every time when 90-ies are mentioned.
It is a PC game, it would make sense for it to be released on PC, after exclusivity deal is over.
finished Tomb of the Giants and New Londo, m8?
I'm taking a wait and see approach with that game. I have no excitement for it and am not paying attention to any previews. I'll check out the final release and all of the reviews. I'm pretty sure that game will disappoint a lot of people.
Nobody ever believes me.
A good read on why it's such a failure. Part 1 is non-spoilery and covers the systems.

Why is spintires so expensive and has never been on sale ?
Stumpokapow
listen to the mad man
because it just came out?
Tomb of the Giants I did finish. New Londo and Valley of the Drakes somehow blew past my mind and now I realized I still got places to be. Now I know where Gravelord Nito got his name lol.

Speedball 2 HD has unlocked in the latest Indie Gala bundle. Nice, I almost brought it at the last sale.

It's a new game, it had no time to be on sale, yet.
I'm really looking forward to the first sale for this, It looks like really unique fun

Speedball 2 HD --MB-1CA2D6C78512FD86- Taken by dave is ok. 5 entrants total.
The Amiga Speedball 2 was such a great game, haven't tried this one yet...
It seems Dying Light is going to be region-locked up the wazoo. The BR sub is still region-free at this juncture, but Brazil's days of ~$40 new releases seem to be well and truly behind it, so GMG with a -25% code will probably be the way to go for anybody looking for the best pre-order option.
Sounds excellent.
Can you shadowplay the first half hour or so and upload to YouTube?
Does it have a wide screen compatibility mod?

Oh damn they remade Speedball 2? I loved the piss out of that game back in the day, goddamn.
Also, Spintires is dope.

enjoy the rest of the game, buddy! I really liked Duke's Archives from a visual perspective, but it can get veeery frustrating.

I was very much interested in it, as it looks to be an original game, but since then I've read some impressions and now I'm afraid it's too hard, like in being tedious. I will still pick it up, probably, too curious.

it's fantastic too. The amount of stuff they have said they are looking into adding seems crazy. Hope most of it actually comes out!

its a toned down version of the Tower Latria...
I'm out of the loop, was there some widespread change in how Brazilian prices are handled?
23 listing on eBay at this moment in time (22 of which in the UK) ranging from 99p to £40 , though it averages out at about £15 if my quick maths are anything to go by. I don't think the problem was availability (well apart from not being available digitally) but it was a bit of a headache to get running on newer OS'. Though you got it running so that a big plus at least.
Really is one of the most atmospheric adventure games of it's time (especially when FMV and 3D rendered games were starting to pick up). Some of the environments looks fantastic and really have so much in common with Syd Mead's original concept art. That and considering Westwood used voxels to render the game gives it a very different look to the 3D accelerated games of the time.
You know the licence and source code is sadly going to be in limbo somewhere. Sudo EA developed by a dead studio in Westwood, distributed by Virgin Interactive who were rolled into Titus (with the Mastersonic branch split off) which then went kaput 2 years after. And then there's Warner Bros. who more than likely own the right to Blade Runner, the franchise as well.
Sod it I might keep an eye on some eBay listings then.

From what I can tell they're still working on it. Though neither of the devs have said definitively one way or another.

It's pretty good. Some aspects of the art style might be strange, but it's otherwise a pretty good HD version, that makes it run good on modern machines without changing too much.
It's also a proof about how fantastic Speedball 2 was, considering how much fun it still is today, despite being a sports game that only uses one button.

Watch the videos this guy made

He has more in his channel, nice guy and informative videos
The game doesn't seem that hard to play.
It seems the most fun when playing with other people, hope i find someone to play with when i get it...
Hoping that too, this game has lots of potential!
I give it a try neyt weekend when I have some friends over

I don't see how it can be any worse than Tomb of the Giants considiering I actually went out of my way to get an item to make that place manageable. And someone stated that it's a toned down Tower of Latria, that actually makes me feel good since I didn't find Latria really all that hard. Is it like that section in Latria with the huge skinny Spiral staircase?
I don't have a PS3 and thus, sadly, haven't been able to play Demon's Souls. I have, however, seen videos of Latria (not the entire place, mind, just a bit of gameplay from the first area and parts of the second) and looks creepy as fuck. Something very unique that isn't really found in either Dark Souls 1 or 2.
LOL, it wasn't that bad for me either, tbh. My first run there was decent, died once or twice and never had much trouble. With my second character however... dunno what happened, but I certainly died much more than twice, hah.
Latria was always creepy, but once you got used to the those Mindflayers it wasn't all that bad. The Mindflayer Sprial Staircase wasn't all too bad either. Unless he mean the 3-2 section which I actually found easier (was actually a really fun level though)
