That is extremely tempting.
this game just keeps wanting me not to play it doesnt it
You mean the penis in the lower corner?
I would probably consider trading one pulled game for my choice of another if such an option existed.
That's because you were banned.

Time travel can't melt dank memes.
God heard of your desire to handle the second thread and adjusted things accordingly.
Well I did it, beat everything The Swapper threw at me. For that one puzzle from hell I read a small hint and figured it out eventually with that. I had a few other puzzles left and they just seemed like a breeze compared to 'that' one.
It's really an exceptional game because the story is pretty damn good as well, especially the ending sequence. Sticking with it: one of best puzzle games I've played.

Great to hear about someone else enjoying The Swapper. So, what did you think of the philosophical themes in the game? And which ending did you pick?

Wow never noticed that haha and I doubt you are talking about the penis so that makes it a even better.
You can do that..?

I don't know you should try it.
But I probably will if the port ends up being a hot mess.
tbh I thought that, through gameplay and general mechanics, the game conveyed its core ideas better than other titles that pride themselves on their storytelling. You're constantly experiencing what the game is about with the clones and swapping through them, then you're confronted with that in the end. Ultimately
you can treat your body as just another clone and switch places... which was my impulsive choice. No way I'm staying on that rock. I didn't quite get how The Scavenger worked though: she swapped with Chalmers and Bennett, but they all ended up together somehow.
It's masterful how the story and core mechanic come together near the end. I think this game succeeded way better at this than Braid for example.
Finished Blue Rose (all routes), took me ~10 hours
here are my thoughts.
The surprising thing was that it turned to be not so bad as I expected it to be, it has mixed reviews, that made me think that it is horrid, usually every half decent VN has positive reviews, but that's not the case.
If I would make a movie analogy, Sword of Asumi was a B movie that had its moments, while Blue Rose was a movie, you watch once, aren't particularly exited about it but agree it was OK and later never remember it.
If I was to mention one negative thing about it, with story branching in this game, there are many very similar things about every branch that aren't really skippable because some minor details are different, still 6 times reading almost the same or exactly the same text about
gets boring. Less words would have helped or delivering it in another manner. Other than that it's not bad and first playthrough is even interesting. Also it has small after stories, extras, which was a nice touch.
ya, same as cards, I assume
meaning, even if you can, it won't last for long and then we all will have to pay for it forever

Doubt it -- if the Steam Gestapo has changed idle times so that you can't get something from buying the game and then refund it, I'm fairly certain that they will not allow you to do so with exclusive DotA2 items.
It's not hard to be way better than Braid.
There are currently 0 listings for moogle or chocobo on the DOTA2 market -- so if people preordered and had them placed in their inventory, there must be some restriction on possible sales.
If you refund the game and haven't sold them so they are no longer in your inventory, it would be a pretty safe assumption to think that Valve would remove the DOTA2 items granted by your preorder when they removed the game from your account and started processing your refund.
But hey, someone who bought Type-0, refund your purchase and confirm for these people (if the items were delivered to you already).
We need a test subject. Volunteer? You will be paid in twinkies.
we'll pay forever even for a test
you know that, I know that, everybody knows that

these items aren't tradeable right away, at least that always was the case with TF2 items

I had twinkies a month or two ago for the first time since the 90s. Never again. Goddamn nostalgia.

Kinda glad it's region-locked for me now. Good day Scamco!
Even TF2 items were limit for months or so before trading, so good luck getting refund after that.
tinyBuild, which means it will be free week after release.
I'm not even kidding.
I've been partying for a while now.
I am, and no, not really any performance changes that I've seen. But I haven't benchmarked anything before and after, so there's that.

Should have just called it Grandia II. I might have bad memory of my playthrough on PC years ago, but this doesn't look much better, not worthy of "HD" behind the name...
As I already said : it takes months for the items to be marketable/tradable, and Valve will revoke your items if you refund.

I am going to make it through this year if it kills me

Fuck I got Freedom Planet on steam last time it was on sale, now it is in the humble bundle with the OST.
Killing Floor 2 is probably the worst game when it comes to having a learning curve / getting good
you just join matches full of high level people knowing what they're doing and fuck up
I know some stuff cause I played 1 back then but yeah, it just hurts the appeal really
i'll keep at it later

Of course.

Hmmm... I wonder how much the Type-0 DOTA2 items would go for. Seriously tempted to get this with card credit just to offset the costs with the proceeds from those items/trading cards (not to mention that I really want to play this one).
i'm not particulary a twinkie fan, actually. see below
Little Debbie. god damn Swiss Rolls are my crack
I don't remember cards or items being revoked before even once, except got gemocalypse.
Do you know something we don't, that you are so sure?

The game that shall not be named - party edition.
How common were refunds when the last major TF2 pre-order promo items were put out? Very rare.
So the likelihood of someone refunding one of those purchases after getting the items (and being able to sell them) is likely close to, if not, ZERO.
Sold cards were definitely not revoked, but Valve took the "nuclear" approach to handling that once they saw it was a problem and they didn't really have an easy solution for dealing with it.
kill enemies > get dosh > buy better guns, refill equipment > rinse, repeat
I know what you said, and I agree that you're probably right. I was just re-iterating for arthea and shadownet -- any uncertainty alluded to is simply because it's not 100% set in stone, but seems pretty likely to be something that cannot be abused.
I'd say that you will be able to get at the very least 7$ from them when they becomes tradable/marketable

I wish people bought and pre-ordered games with the intention of playing them.
