alien isolation preorder is up...and the bonus look awesome =(

*obligatory anteater bitches about region lock and fuck you sega/konami post*

They did do a followup article a week later.

It takes them months to assemble their data due to the method. They may just be preparing for a new article.

Yeah, meant after the follow-up. If they are building data for another post i would have thought they will make a heads-up about it or say something and not disappear.

Maybe what's more surprising is that no other big site tried to follow their instructions and make one of their own articles. Could it be frowned upon by Valve and other publishers and that's what discouraging them?

Now that mod bot is now awake and so am I...

 

[BadRamen]

The music in Risk of Rain is superb I haven't' even played today and it's already stuck in my head.

The feels on that first level song when it breaks down into massive guitar solo...

 

[weemadarthur]

I want in on the Deponia Collection. I've played about an hour of the first game and I really like it.

Guess I better idle for some cards to sell, cause I only have like $1.30 in steam wallet right now.

 

[someguyinahat]

There's an interesting article over at thebitpulse.com about the sales impact that an Early Access game receives once it hits Steam.

http://thebitpulse.com/2014/07/crea-proves-that-steam-launches-are-still-powerful/

Bonus points to them for using Enhanced Steam in their primary screenshot.

From the article:

Even though these sales healthily push Crea’s development forward, it’s not quite the success story some indies have faced. Vertigo Games earned $130,000 in 3 months after Cook, Serve, Delicious! was caught in a Steam Flash Sale. Eldritch’s sales skyrocketed after landing on the platform.

Comparing apples and oranges. Cook, Serve, Delicious was a completed product. It's interesting that they don't even consider "some people don't want to buy an unfinished game."

If i buy Democracy 3 dlc on the Humble Store(it's labelled as DRM free) can i use it for the GOG version?

 

[Miletius]

Well, TWAU was satisfying. I thought the game was a little on the short side compared to The Walking Dead, but overall I thought that the game was better put together. I think it's a solid pick up if you like Telltale style games.

 

[AHA-Lambda]

alien isolation preorder is up...and the bonus look awesome =(

But Gamestop has an extra DLC story mission, so sick of this shit -_-

 

[JakeD]

according to steam enchanted getgames has it for $40 and it activates on steam as well. I've never used that site though

greenmangaming also has a code to bring it to $40...doesn't combine with credit though. funny i only have $2 in credit, but $38 is so much more appealing than $40 for some reason. i'll keep an eye out on trading but i think it's a safe bet it will be region locked and ungiftable

 

[Saty]

What's so hot about Darkness II

 

[Nabs]

bad rats... here we go....

I think you might be expecting too much.

 

[AbundantChoice]

incestdemonicon has some really... interesting songs in its soundtrack.
(Lyrics kinda spoilery?)

Aw man, if only the characters actually sang these songs in the game? Kind of like that Blind Guardian "concert" in Sacred 2?

That second song is fantastic cut-rate Tom Jones. I want a cutscene where people are throwing chain-mail panties at the singer.

 

[Stumpokapow]

What's so hot about Darkness II

Cost of $30 or higher. That's all the HOT icon does.

 

[phoenix296]

Hydra? Now I haven't. I've only been in Darkroot Garden where you fight the Butterfly. I've been down to the starting area of Basin, but haven't actually explored it yet. Same with the Demon Ruins.

You should go find Havel the Rock down in Darkroot Basin for he is your bestest friend you could ever have. He gives you a pretty good ring too.

 

[Subject16]

Now, the only thing left is Steam to start taking pre-orders for GTA V

 

[weemadarthur]

Before the summer sale, I had around 50 games on my wishlist. Between flash sales and reading the steam thread, I got clued in to a bunch of games that also looked interesting. Now I have 70 games on my wishlist.

Why is this style of marketing so dang effective?

 

[Sub Zero]

YES! And cheap in Russia too! Will preorder when I get home

THE BEST RING IN THE GAME

 

[Vuze]

Yes along with some new screenshots and other bits of info.

Dat 15€ price tag for Alien Isolation @ nuuvem btw

 

[StrongArmSteady]

What's so hot about Darkness II

its a surprisingly well put together game, give it a go

 

[LiquidMetal14]

A JaseC challenger approaches.

 

[thequickandthedead]

Is Dark Souls 2 a particularly demanding game? How does it run on low end machines? Dark Souls ran pretty decent.

 

[Deleted member 125677]

Sooo

Instead of spending my day off playing Killer is Dead, I spent my day installing a new OS (win7 64bit instead of 32) since KiD required it and crashed on start-up.

Fun on the bun

It had to be done at some point. And my computer is so nice and clean on the inside now. And I can finally get some more RAMS since I'm not bound by that silly 4gig limit anymore

 

[morningbus]

It runs better that Dark Souls, I've found.

 

[NingenJanai]

It runs fine, unless you are running on integrated graphics or something.

 

[wagamer]

I won a mystery game! How do I know what it is though? Does Steam notify me if I have it already when I enter the key to the library?

And thanks whoever the donator was!

 

[yuraya]

Now, the only thing left is Steam to start taking pre-orders for GTA V

I wonder how much R* will charge for it. I kind of want the game but at the same time I don't want to pay $50+ for it since its like a year old.

 

[Vlad]

So, Hexcells

If you're a fan of Picross or logic games in general, buy Hexcells!

Well, actually, to be more accurate, Buy Hexcells and Hexcells Plus!

Bought both of them during the sale and just finished off Hexcells Plus. Every impression I read about the game beforehand recommended buying both, and they're not lying. Hexcells by itself never really gets going, and in the grand scheme of things, acts as a tutorial. The levels get a bit larger later on, but there's nothing in there that's overly challenging. I ended up beating it in about two hours, entertained but slightly underwhelmed. Figuring that I may as well plow through the other game, I went ahead and installed Plus, expecting to be done with it in a similar fashion.

Final time after beating the final Hexcells Plus puzzle: 13 hours.

So yeah, that's where the challenge is.

 

[Subject16]

I wonder how much R* will charge for it. I kind of want the game but at the same time I don't want to pay $50+ for it since its like a year old.

Pretty sure, it's gonna be 49,99 or 59,99.

 

[yGray]

So excited for Alien Isolation. I'm disappointed that people are upset about it being preorder DLC.


With that said, I'm not entirely sure how I feel about it being a $60 game. How much padding will the story have?

 

[ItsGeeMcGee]

Thank you, oh Mysterious Benefactor, for McPixel!

 

[kudoboi]

I wonder how much R* will charge for it. I kind of want the game but at the same time I don't want to pay $50+ for it since its like a year old.

it probably will be $49 or $59

 

[Hugstable]

That's the path I plan to take once I'm done playing some Payday 2. Dark Root Basin is really easy to get to anyway haha.

 

[Atraveller]

Pretty sure, it's gonna be 49,99 or 59,99.

Probably 59.99 with 10 percent off.

 

[Hero Prinny]

I won a mystery game! How do I know what it is though? Does Steam notify me if I have it already when I enter the key to the library?

if you have the game already steam will just say you already own the game but won't tell you what game it is

 

[lashman]

I wonder how much R* will charge for it. I kind of want the game but at the same time I don't want to pay $50+ for it since its like a year old.

I'm almost certain it'll be $60 ... because why wouldn't they? people are going to buy the hell out of it anyway ...

Mystery Game #7 was Afterfall Insanity Extended Edition:

Thanks anonymous benefactor! It looks shootie.

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

Rogue Legacy is about to drop on the vita. Now, the wait for it to be Steam cheap/free begins.

 

[freshVeggie]

Hm, is there another way to edit steam wishlist?
It's very slow and a grid view would be comfortable.

 

[ItsGeeMcGee]

Well worth double dipping for. That game is very well suited to portable play and especially the suspend/resume functionality on vita

 

[ev0]

Mystery Game #5 was Dungeonland.

I don't know much about it, but will def give it a try now. Thank you modbot and mystery donor!

 

[Turfster]

I wonder how much R* will charge for it. I kind of want the game but at the same time I don't want to pay $50+ for it since its like a year old.

Yeah, they're going to try to hit you for all they can, so 60$/€ is a given =p

You can type a number to replace the current ranking.
You have to save after every one you edit that way tho, iirc.

Dark souls 2 runs really well for me. I can't imagine having a lot of issues running it unless we are talking something less-than-modest for your computer x_x

 

[ashecitism]

Tank controls be damned, RE4 is pretty legit.

 

[The-Bean]

Mystery Game #11 was Killing Floor, which I already own. And as far as I can tell Humble Bundle gifts cannot be re-gifted?

 

[freshVeggie]

Yeah, have been doing it right now that way. You can edit multiple numbers at once though. Sometimes things get mixed up though.
