How is Divinity OS? Seems like a lot of people play this? Maybe I just buy it this evening and play some to change my mood.
How many keys is this right now through traders?

Yayy got a Operation Breakout and Phoenix case in two consecutive matches. Thanks Gaben!
Ah, i remember playing the YGO games on GBA/DS. I remember those were really good! Also, they could always port Millennium Duels which came out digitally on consoles a few months back. So much wasted potential not having the games on steam...sigh.

You're not far off! I hate Sony for not letting me change my name.(((
Yeah it sucks, you can change your screen name in Japan on PSN but not anywhere else, super lame.

Don't you just get reborn from the ashes?
That's nice. How's the food there compared to back home? And I know I must sound like a broken record, but by expecting something you're just setting yourself up for disappointment. Just treat it as a normal day and do stuff that you enjoy. Gorge yourself on foods you enjoy.
Divinity: OS is 9 keys. I know a guy who sells it for 8 keys 6 ref (1 key = 9 ref). Let me know if you want me to hook you up.
Seems to last around 60 hours.
You're right. I got nothing to worry about then
Strike Missions is 3 people, Raid is 6 people. and Crucible team will have up to at least 6 people. (as far as I know)
I figured that'd eventually become a general feature but it's been, what, about five years now? Region-specific game availability is perfectly understandable, but region-specific functionality is just strange.
Three people are still more then one, I suppose.

Thats nice, but it still takes some time till I get home. I will write you a PM if I need it.
The food is nice, but sometimes I just miss a good cake. In germany I bake them myself, but its hard to get the ingredients for those cheap and easy and often they still taste different. Instead of normal butter, most butter you can here (for exordinary prices) are salted...
Finding things like "vanilla-sugar" thats you can get everywhere in germany is a pain and can only obtained on internet. Same with cream-cheese and things like that. Baking myself is hard and the chinese cakes taste like pure sugar and chemicals.
Besides that chinese food is great, but right now I really would just love something I know from home.
Thats a lot. Thanks.
I kind of rambled on it here. The shorter version is that it definitely starts out much stronger than it ends. The first town and first selection of quests have the greatest depth and breadth, and the encounters require the most thought and planning (partially due to the player still learning the game's systems and the specific roles of their characters). It's definitely a really meaty game with people finishing their playthroughs at 60-75 hours. The art is great, the world is whimisical and memorable, the music is complimentary. There are some really obtuse puzzles that sometimes boil down to pixel hunts, and some of the mechanics, such as the Rock-Papers-Scissors Charisma checks just didn't sit well with me. The UI is functional and improving with patches (including an updated sort capability and streamlined identification) and the turn based combat is snappy.
I don't like how there are swathes of the game where you just end up in encounter after encounter and this is generally past the point where you know a surefire way to victory without much struggle (maybe hard mode would have helped here? That's on me) so encounters by the end were a little bit like chores. The game is definitely at it's best when it mixes in battle-laden excursions with quest-focused journal referencing and progression within the game's world, which is more in the front half of the game rather than the back.
There are some personal taste discussions about the randomization of loot and vendor goods, my take was that it was enjoyable to not know exactly which spells and weapons were going to become available to me and which I would have to subsidize through learning some crafting.
I really am glad Amazon price matches often when it comes to Steam deals.

Tomb Raider Anniversary --MB-02779C8D723BB7EB- Taken by Hanzou. 12 entrants total.
An impressive remake of the original PS1 title, it can be good to return to this puzzle platformer that holds up as one of the best in the franchise.

Thanks for the deep impressions.
How are the sidequests during the end of the game? Normally such games really offer a lot of sidequests early, but after maybe the middle of the game they become more and more less.

Remember Me's 10 bucks now.
SpeedRunners. join the fun
Super House of Dead Ninjas and it's DLC. I've done so 60 some times now, so it must be good. Though you could wait for a sale on this.
Abyss Odyssey is being played by a lot of us, and it's good fun. Tree golem on a jellyfish, good times.
There's a late game outpost/village 3/4th's of the way through that has a somewhat involved series of quests, but it's still a little bit dwarfed by the opening of the game and the first town, Cyseal, and parts of the second area. It's definitely frontloaded.
Remember Me is roughly $10. You'd even have enough left for The Last Express... and Hydrophobia because why not it's 49c.
Oh damn, that I might have to grab. Or this speedrunners below mentioned.... What is it like?

SpeedRunners is a lot of fun if you don't already have it.
Frantic four player fun. Has a series of single player mission to teach, and challenging be missions. Local play support

Thanks. Seems like a game you can lose yourself in.
Hmm, it's early access. My problem with early access is that I'll lose interest before the full game comes out and not even play the finished product probably. Hmm... Online play too? I am getting my controller tomorrow.
Yeah that's the TR anniversary/TR1 remake, it has a heavy focus on tombs other than a few bears and dinosaurs, pretty decent stuff so far.
Yup. But yes, it's early access, and comes with it's glitches. It usually works, and works well. But it is fun when you play with three of your comrades
None of DotEmu's three Steam games have been bundled yet.
what are the other 2
Another World and Metal Slug 3
Its an amazing game. The first couple hours are a bit overwhelming because its hard to figure out a few things, like what to do, where to go, skills, etc. But once that initial learning curve is out of the way..the game becomes an instant classic. Great soundtrack. Very strategic and rewarding turn based combat. The game is also extremely sandboxy and offers a lot of freedom. One of the better games I've played in recent years. Deserves all the hype and than some. I am only about 30 hours in tho and still in the beginning town area. So I can't really comment on the endgame. But from what I played so far this game is easily GOTY material. Game is delicious props to Larian for putting together such a fun game.
but MS3 was bundled, thats how I own it >_>
Sounds like I need to get ahold of The Last Express to finish my collection
Now that you mention it, yeah, it was in Humble Bundle PC and Android 10.

I hope that it somehow gets better.Yes you are. And I plan to fix that.
Unrest looks so good.
That rpg seems interesting. Does Shovel Knight get traded through the gray market? Wondering if I could muster it up with keys or something for a couple bucks off.
dont fix anything, im not being cheap or stealth begging, its a 1.50€ game or whatever it is. Its just annoying for someone that buys every bundle to usually own 90% of the games in them. Gifting is cool and why I buy every bundle even when I just need 1 or 2 games in it or something, but lets not get coy here, I prefer if I dont have the bundle games lol.
you have any idea how excited I was when I had NONE of the games in the latest indieroyale? that shit was amazing!
...I didn't think to look up Metal Slug 3 because it's a relatively recent release Still, though, The Last Express is, unlike the others, self-published by DotEmu and has yet to be bundled despite being 8 months old. Plus at $1.75 you'd be hardly cursing the heavens even if it were to appear in a $3.99 bundle tomorrow.

Metal Slug has, I believe.
It was in one of the Humble bundles... the one with the Android version, I think?

He is pretty horrible, isn't he?
I don't think you can fix him though.

The best RPG to come out in the recent years.
Speaking of Unrest, the Special Edition is still $12 on GMG. This can be reduced further to $9.59 (effectively a ~62% discount) using the -20% code P36EYA-K5JYKT-ABO7X9.

...I suppose I'm too fast for my own good sometimes :|
Which is a shame because it's a really great game that everyone should play at some point in their life.
Too bad it doesn't work with Playfire money, which renders it useless to me.
Ehhhh really? There's a Singapore BF4 map?
It's US geography fails all over again. Singapore is part of China.
And all our billboards are either english or multilingual lol
Implementing bugs was more important than geographical accuracy.
Yeah, those days are well and truly gone now, unsurprisingly. I have $1.78 sitting in my account that I'll likely never use now.
