Nah, pretty easy to jump in. I guess you could go read the Steam page for Borderlands to get an idea of the premise. I don't think Tales does a good job of explaining it, even if it's a simple concept.

Sounds good, bought the bundle.

As such, here are my spares:

la mulana it's great until it becomes super bullshit puzzle land and u can't even progress 1% without looking it up in a guide

For me, that was at 3%.

Played the game, discovered I couldn't even find the first boss and had somehow managed to sequence break into an area that was way too hard for me.

Gave it a rest, went back to it a long time later, and ended up doing the exact same thing. Found a guide, and realized I needed it because I'd never have been able to figure that out.

This shouldn't probably be news to anyone but The Banner Saga is fantastic. I was enjoying it immensely and then...
latest

and now I have to restart.
Let this be a warning to anyone that hasn't played it yet.

I backed the Banner Saga on kickstarter originally and it ended up being pretty decent for their first game. I liked the art style a lot with it and the viking-y stuff.

Trying to decide if I should take advantage of a buy order for the twitch prime battlegrounds thing and get $30 richer, or hold out for longer. Hm.

Wow the BTA tier is 8 bucks. I only want one of the games in the entire bundle which is in BTA. 8 bucks isn't bad..but I made a promise to beat games lol.

Anyone know a fix for games getting stuck on Starting with no network movement when trying to download? I just changed over from my wireless Wifi adapter to LAN and Steam is the only thing giving me trouble downloading.

i think i lasted like 25% of the game before having to frequently visit a guide for directions, to the point where i basically was following it step by step

i hear the sequel is gonna be less dumb about that, which is great

you can tell they had the right intentions with the puzzle designs, most of them "make sense" logically, it's just that what doesn't make sense is expecting players to hold all these different things in their head and intuitively connect them

like for me the breaking point was when you had to go to different areas to solve puzzles from different dungeons, that's just really twisted and way too hard

i still really liked la mulana and always hate myself for forgetting to back the sequel (you can back the sequel now but whenever i remember to i'm always in the red lol)

My wife was a fan of the King's Quest games back in the day, so I've been waiting for a reasonable price on them for a while. Recently, I remembered that I actually owned them already, from Telltale's Great Adventure Bundle back in 2010. There doesn't seem to be any way to get the download links for any of the non-Telltale games anymore, unfortunately, which is really shitty and unfortunate on Telltale's end. Looks like their agreement to distribute them expired, but it's frustrating that that affects people that paid for the bundle.

Has Boderlands been cheaper than the Humble BTA price? Heard it's secretly the best Telltale game, which is kind of unbelievable.

That bundle's a really great deal. TWD Season 3 at -50% included.

Kinda shocked they're all Steam copies, as I instinctively assumed the opposite. Wonder if TellTale has given up on their store?

There was a Telltale Humble Bundle last year that had Steam keys (though I can't remember if they were there for all the games).

I think it's been around $5-6 standalone in the past, but obv. not as cheap as buying the BTA and reselling what you don't want, and only marginally cheaper than buying the BTA and throwing away the other keys altogether.

I don't really need a tag, but I figured I'd get one to make people jealous. Is it working?
Just a heads up, that dollar tier and I assume the 15 is a single key for the whole bundle.

I guess it's finally the time for me to play Legacy of Kain.

Question: the story has some decent conclusion? I remember hearing about a cliffhanger or something, but is it too open-ended?

sticker showcases expire?

why wasn't valve upfront about this?
Click to expand...

I'd guess it was a recent decision as the FAQ categorically stated that completed pages wouldn't expire and page unlocks would be "permanent". While unfortunate for those who'd prefer to keep a page on their profile, I wouldn't say it's scandalous as the stickers themselves cost nothing but time to acquire -- they weren't a reward for store purchases nor could they be traded or sold.

Still rather odd. Makes that whole meta game even more pointless than usual.

Maybe the badge will be used for the selection process when Valve's ready to roll out a public beta version of the upcoming client. That'd make sense considering the entire point of the sticker system was to encourage people to engage with Steam's various features.

It just seems weird. It's a small thing but it's cool to have it on your profile, I don't see any reason to have it expire. Oh well, you can always save a screenshot of it and upload it as artwork showcase instead.

Oh, yeah, it's definitely a strange change of heart. The only distinct possibility that comes to mind, assuming the decision wasn't made on a whim, is that Valve remembered the 2015 Winter Sale "golden profile" expired and didn't want those people feeling like second-class citizens.
