theres always money for tits
You say that like it's a bad thing. Glowing exclamation marks over people's heads followed by glowing arrows telling you where to go followed by a hefty reward of gold, experience, and items for delivering the mail has got to be the worst trend in RPGs.

What about "Depth of fear: Knossos"?
I think I may have read some positive feedback about this game somewhere here on GAF.
Back when Fallout 3 was relased (It was either the original game or the GOTY version that used to have GFWL) it used to crash all the time and my saves would have been deleted. I don't know if it was just me or what, but I pretty much gave up on trying to play Fallout 3 a long time ago because of it. Still never got back into the game since, even though I should considering how much I loved New Vegas. I think I put atleast 120 hours into New Vegas exploring so much of the map.
Sure, but when there are 460 negative reviews, 0 positive, and most of them complain about the game being abandoned in a broken state I think it's probably safe to trust the reviews.
Not obviously a bad thing, but sometimes it's needed to get a good overview of the town - in my opinion.
What if that's really just one Adam Sessler review separated into 460 parts?

The person stated free/exploited games. One can get into the semantics of what that means but my point remains in regards to what i felt may have led to the sentiment that Rhaknar's noticed pertaining to folks perhaps feeling a sense of judgment regarding their giveaways.

Seconded. Binary Domain is a lot of fun.

Every time a community gets annoyed you can expect a lot of negative reviews appearing. What is ironic is many "gamers" complain when a studio doesn't have a PR person to know how to address to the fanbase, but when other studio has someone dedicated to PR they'll also complain because all they get are canned answers.
My brother bought one about a week ago and he now swears by the thing. Everything seemed to work perfect for him and he's been enjoying using the Pro Controller recently. I gotta find a replacement for my DS4 for a few weeks since I need to get it sent in to be fixed since my left analog stick started ripping, so I'm thinking I might pick me up one of the Mayflashes also before I sent out my DS4
It has the best world building of any game I've played and a great cast of main characters. The main thing that makes me love the game though is the sense of adventure (it's very reminiscent of Grandia in that regard), and its sense of humour in the little details. For example, after you've opened a chest, you can examine it again to receive a little message disparaging you for being a thief, or an idiot for expecting something there, or whatever. It's a game with excellent writing that knows how to change tone very well, in short.
The battle system is pretty cool too. It's turn based, and a lot of the strategy is in trying to affect the turn order. This is because there are bonuses and penalties applied to specific turns, so, for example, you could focus on an enemy due to benefit from a heal so that you can kill him, and move your character up the order so he'll get it instead. The appeal is more in the story and characters than this though. Don't be expecting something like Ys.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
That's a really interesting connection, when you think about it.
Sony and Microsoft spend so much money to build a brand that people get behind (and, conversely, people wish to separate themselves from). There is a lot to be said of the human condition and how much of our identity is constructed not just from the people who we aspire to be but by the people who we claim we are not. It's two-fold and it exists from the top to the lowest level of gaming enthusiasm.
I have a PS4 because you'd have to be stupid and flushed with cash to buy an Xbone.
I play Battlefield because you'd have to be an easily-pleased moron to play Call of Duty.

Right on.
I'm completely broke but I really want to reward the effort that is being put into this franchise.
I think the perception there is less evidence of an upward trend and more a continued ebb and flow. Call of Duty has been region-locked since BLOPS 2, Deep Silver has been region-locking its games since SR4, Ubi began region-locking last year with Rayman Legends, etc.

Just started into Guacamelee recently. And I have to say that I'm really digging the first few hours. The setting is amusing and original, the combat is punchy and has some combo depth, and the art style is one of my favorites in years. Also I have a soft spot for games that have grappling in them (stuff like Double Dragon 2 and Streets of Rage used to be some of my favorites) so I love all the throw finishing move options.
Wow, this post hyped me more than the train pics.
but I just bought Ghosts from russia on the summer sale

I kinda gotta give props for actually doing this after so much time had passed.
we've noticed
I liked Ghosts. Loved the space area, wish there were more of it. My nephew very quickly took the game over. He has a clan and everything. He also has better k/d/a than me. Dammit.
Yup, same thing with the game lists and searches.
The only way to browse Steam is in a modern browser with tabs, so one that's less than like, what, 7 years old? =p
(Seriously, Valve, fix your stupid browser based client)
The Gold Edition isn't region-locked for some bizarre reason, but the two editions it replaced were.

Interesting that they forgot to lock COD Ghosts Gold Edition and SRIV Game of the Century Edition. Looks like if there is no russian retail version(edition) of the game, publishers don't actually want to region lock them.

Use the web version and use tabs. Or if you must use the client, hold control and click a game. It'll open in a new window.
Ah top stuff folks I have a look in as they're really cheaper than I expected. Plus being both Xinput and direct Input is an added bonus for legacy support.

It's not my birthday and I have financial obligations elsewhere, so I can only give out the proceeds of my card sales. I have failed you all.

I don't know how it happened, I never got an email or notice saying anything had changed, but somehow Valve has released the constraints on my account and I'm free to buy games again. Perhaps saying I wasn't satisfied in that email survey they sent me whipped them into action.
To celebrate, here is a giveaway for the thread with one of my favourite sports games.
I'll also be giving some games directly through Steam to random friends. Only a few here and there as money is lacking at the moment, but some fun small stuff to be sure.

A title that brings the fun, joy, and sense of success when accomplishing great shots even to someone like me who doesn't enjoy pool in real life.

desperation perhaps?
Haha, quite possibly.
Holding control does nothing. I know I can use the browser version, but it takes longer time to go that route. I'm also not logged in if I want to buy something.

I too would like to hear more about it. All I've heard is that it's really short and most don't consider the $8 asking price to be worth it. Looks right up my alley though,like a point-and-click version of Inescapable.
It's beta only for the moment.

Strange, it works for me. I wonder if that's a beta client only thing.
Edit: Looks like it is.
Browsing anything on Steam is annoying. It's 2014 and I can only scroll through "top 100" lists 10 at a time, and if I click on number 37 to get info about it I have to start over at 1 if I want to keep browsing.
Add tabs. Let me open a game's store/community/forum/etc page in its own tab. Problem solved.
I'm not good at this but I got you mate.

I can understand what you mean, but if I get 100 copies of Bioshock or something. I would do a garbage dump, because I didn't do spend anything on it so I should reap the benefit of it adding to my megagiver status. humble bundle games and stuff you actually spent something on is different. Thats my opinion on it.
I can agree with this. I loved the story, the atmosphere and the characters.

it's REALLY good
definitely the best recently released pool game (not that there are many of those being released nowadays )That explains it. I'm not using beta right now because it broke the median sale prices graph. Is that fixed yet?
Screw "Only If". Just started it for some Playfire money (it's F2P) and as usual, I give those games a chance. I expected a nice, relaxed adventure from the screens and description.
Literally one minute and two "jumpscares" later I find myself in a SAW-like situation. No thanks, can't stand Psych/Horror stuff ;-;
Now that I take one more look at the screenshots, the burning windmill should have made me suspicous.
