Every game these days is a turn-based strategy game using tiles.

etc.

I also see a lot of card games.

man why did you remind me of into the breach ;_;


ahh

i'm proud of myself for realizing it was a meme on my own

The script of XII is clearly been reworked quite a few times and Vaan wasn't meant to be the big focus he ended up being, they didn't change the story and other characters enough to make it sensible. So by the second half, your "protagonist" feels like the sixth wheel or something.
oh that's real weird

kinda interesting tho

Anyone want to trade me Kero Blaster for Dead Rising 2 OTR? I already have DR2OTR and liked it so I'd like to blast some keros if possible.

How has maintenance been going on every Tuesday? I've been a Steam member for 8 years never encountered it lmao (EXCEPT now when I wanted to play).

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.

It's been a thing every Tuesday around 4pm Pacific since I joined Steam in April of 2011. Some weeks are worse than others - sometimes just the community site goes down, sometimes just the store pages, sometimes just individual functions (like friends list or chat), and sometimes maintenance happens without affecting anything although that's rare.

It is indeed pretty silly that Valve hasn't grown their codebase to be much more resilient than it is in regards to user-affecting web services.

I think they have a "wheel of maintenance" ala Wheel of Fortune and they just spin it in the offices of valve and randomly turn off whatever it lands on for the week while they work on stuff

After making a thread for Ion Maiden, the Build engine FPS from Voidpoint, some of the developers have revealed some additional details about the game's structure.

It's going to be a single episode, but they're prepared to make more depending on how many people buy it. The episode has 7 "levels," but each one is split into several map files that you can traverse back and forth between, reminiscent of the approach Half-Life and Hexen took back in the day. People should be able to check out a demo soon.

I think Hollow Knight is really starting to click with me. I'm excited by the prospect of exploring new places and gaining new abilities. How do I gain more badge slots?

I think you buy most of them from the Charm dealer, but you can find some and earn a few after certain fights.

Did Prey bomb? I feel really guilty about not buying it yet but I just haven't had the time for it yet.

I heard it's a preyasure to pray and prery prun

it did ok

but it's fine, Arkane has dat Todd Howard money they can keep making games

Game didn't sell well? Better put out Skyrim 4D, make up those profits! It's like 3D, but there's a 4 in front of it so that means it's better!

That's okay, Dishonored is kind of lame anyway. Just feel good doing your part in supporting Prey, because the game honestly deserves it.

I'll pick it up when it comes out. Looks promising.

Its doing really bad on all platforms. However Bethesda is not a charity so I'm waiting for the price to fall.


I was interested in it. Oh well.

Capcom bundle, neat

No Dead Rising 4 makes no sense though

And it's almost all horror games, hard pass

And no original Dead Rising. And why is the weaker DR2 in the top tier and Off the record in the mid tier. This makes no sense!

Why HunnyPop of course ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Better match 3 than most other match 3 games on steam.
 
The first Prey had only sold around 1 million after 2 months. I doubt the new one is that low. It also had a 10+ year on and off dev cycle. Five for the released game.
