It is still a great game. You can play it for free via your browser:

Yes, basically. I dont want to give the impression that the world is completely empty though. There are things that you can do like, purchase outfits, rob shops,and upgrade your car (This aspect outshines every other open world game). The latter in addition to being well done, can make certain missions much easier.
First, thanks for not trying to escalate this into a witch hunt hekk. Secondly, while this case seems to be clearly a usage of SAM, I would ask that people not jump to conclusions every time an achievement is unlocked in a conspicuous fashion. The system is dependent on developer competency, so achievements can erroneously unlock without the use of third party software.

But Unearthed has cards!
so does bad rats. hes basically denying himself free money
I'll post something up if inspiration strikes. (That mental image of bears scuttling around on cave ceilings is total nightmare fuel, by the way. Wonder if those would be the Aussie "drop bears" I keep hearing about...)
Edit: Looks like Anteater beat me to it. Getting slow in my old age.
One of the most entertaining things about that bundle ended up being all the wild guessing and speculation about what that "drawing" (and I use the word loosely) was supposed to be. xD
Hey, I meant that "bravo" unironically. I'm a sucker for puns and wordplay.

Well, shit. I didn't expect to actually win.unlocking grainy FMVs of bored-looking women bumping and grinding to bad techno tracksStreet Racing Syndicate. >.>
IMHO FUEL is great, the game world is massive and the lighting is very atmospheric, especially at dawn/dusk.
But always make a backup copy of your savegames! GFWL has fucked up my savegames too many times already, it really sucks -.- I recommend to backup your savegame everytime you exit the game.

Welp, Murdered: Soul Suspect is looking like a 10$ game, can't wait for the sale in like two months.

It's doing exactly as I expected, opinions all over the place. Currently the game has one 3/10 review, four 5/10 reviews, four 6/10 reviews, four 7/10 reviews, six 8/10 reviews, and two 9/10 reviews (this is taking .5 scores down to the lower number, like 8.5 to 8, and taking out of 5 scores to be out of 10, like 3/5 is 6/10).
Polygon's reviews is surprisingly the most interesting one for me so far: http://www.polygon.com/2014/6/3/5765892/murdered-soul-suspect-review

It's still fun for a little while, but it doesn't hold up nearly as well as the early Doom games do.

$10? Grow some restraint, this is a Steam thread.
Yeah... I did that! On Blind Survival Mode to boot.
JEEEEEEEZ
I think I'm something shy of 2000 on both Blind and No Luca No Survivals!
Good god you're good!
AHAHA
I used Insects Begone who replaces them with bears (also, I don't have any problems with webs, in fact I also modded them to be better looking
), and actually it was weird.Especially because I installed the mod just after killing the tutorial spiders from VERY far away, and when I went back in game they were replaced by bigger bear corpses, who struggled to find a stable position, making some really creepy noises like "gneck gneck gneck" (or something else, in proper English onomatopoeia).
I'm gonna try the wolves one, but actually I'm just past the tutorial and I'm realizing that this game really sucks.
I mean, how the hell is it possible that enemies don't have a hit-reaction animation? FFS even in the first Mario when I jumped on goombas they became squashed... At the moment, I know that I'm hitting them right just because after a while they die. This is totally not normal. Not in 2014 at least.
I don't even remember this, but ok, I'll accept apologises, funny gifs, hentai pics, hentai gifs, lemonparty, selfies, and whatever else you want. My inbox is yours.

I'm honestly not surprised that the opinions are all over the map, that's kind of par for the course with Airtight Games. Pretty sure both Dark Void and Quantum Conundrum had similarly mixed receptions.
I said two months you can wait the year for less
Finished Alan Wake. Last chapter was more like Wagon Pushing: The Game.
All in all it was alright, it's one of the games I'm on the fence whether or not I would recommend it.
While the atmosphere was quite tense and very well done the gameplay itself was just so tedious imo.
The story... huh yeah, I didn't get it at all. I first thought I did, but after reading several write ups on the web I didn't haha.

you and me, we even know they got Dreamfall keys (><)
edited: remembered that I've red your review on Amalur on steam and liked it. Also you spent insane amount of hours playing it.
One thing that caught my eye, you liked sidequests. Unlike you, I thought many of them are boring. Combat is fun enough though.
When I was playing Amalur, I was comparing various aspects of it to other games. Like, the crime system is better than a game like the Witcher (where nobody gives a shit if you break into their home and loot it) but not quite on the level of Risen (where people are particularly paranoid about you sneaking into places you're not meant to be), and the combat is pretty much best in class (although FFXIV has a better gamepad UI).
Amalur used sidequests as a tool for exposition like most games do-- they're the reason you go half the places on the map, they're the tool for telling you how the world works-- but Amalur did it rather more gracefully than, say, Darksiders II (they're both action RPGs) or FFXIV (KoA is compared to MMOs, so I compared it to one), where a typical sidequest might be, "Hail, adventurer, I am out of bear asses. Please go kill 10 bears and fetch me their asses." -> "Thank you, adventurer. You might be wondering why I need bear asses, so stay awhile and listen while I talk for five minutes about the history of bear ass stew." In Amalur, it's more, "Hey, have you seen Alice? She was supposed to have my bear asses here but she's late, could you go find her?" then you go look for Alice but she's like "I'd love to help, but I can't get bear asses because of these wild fae, they're never this aggressive and it's too dangerous to go into their cave and find out why" so you investigate and one thing leads to another until you finally solve the fae's problem thereby solving Alice's problem thereby restoring the bear ass supply line and the whole time you're picking up lore in bits and pieces.
I also liked that Amalur's quests included some variety, like having to figure out what happened and getting rewarded based on your answers. I mean it's not on the level of the best of New Vegas, but it's certainly among the better RPGs I've played.
Also, it can't be stressed enough: the combat is really fun. Especially with daggers.

Wolfenstein is better.

i tried it twice but i just can't get into it, nothing about it is interesting in any way and it just makes me feel like i'm wasting my life playing it
also fuck spiderwebs
you can still do your own take :3I'll post something up if inspiration strikes. (That mental image of bears scuttling around on cave ceilings is total nightmare fuel, by the way. Wonder if those would be the Aussie "drop bears" I keep hearing about...)

How do I set up Fear's game pad controls? I'm a little confused here :x
Yes, I agree that sometimes achievements erroneously unlock. The 3 achievements that erroneously unlock just happen to be the only ones which give you PlayFire credits? That were all unlocked at exactly the same time? Also a negligible no of hours played?
You just happen to download the game and play for less than 0.1 hours and it unlocks the 3 achievements that just happen to give you PlayFire credits?
Yeaaahhh that's kind of suspicious. Also, fantomena kind of has a previous record. For any other person, I might give them the benefit of the doubt.

Uh... I didn't even know it had controller support.

It looks interesting to me, something I'd definitely enjoy playing, but seeing as it will probably bomb I'll wait.
you have a point here, sidequests usually had some things that are world/story/lore related, as far as I can remember, and I never said they are all bad. It can be, that share amount of them makes them boring in the long run and ya, they demand a lot of travelling.
just wanted to point out, that exactly this attitude will make this game bomb, everybody waiting until it bomb to buy (><)
obvious, I know
You can't fight MechaHitler in Doom.
Wolfenstein is better.
Q.E.D.
Fair point about MechaHitler! But the total of four weapons that aren't a whole lot different from one another, all the right angles, and the lack of height mapping and floor and ceiling textures make it seem much older than Doom, which was only actually a year and a half later.
Plus I really like the FM synth renditions of classic metal
Worst problem with Amalur was that the amount of XP given during the sidequests broke the game in half and then some. Provided you'd do everything in the first area (of four), you'd be so OP, you could just cruise through the rest of the game on autopilot.
Pity that.
I actually passed on quite a lot of them, as doing them all seemed like totally insane idea to me (><)
edited: don't get me wrong, I'm not saying there are too many sidequests there, they are not mandatory, so the more the better, for people that want to make all, but I have suspicion that this game was not meant in a way "make all quests as soon as you can acquire them", because that would make this game incredibly long, so you choose what strikes your liking.
and you think that because?

1.Damn it, I didn't fix my proof fast enough.
2.The number of weapons changes depending on which version you play.
3.I can't argue about Metal.
I want to be optimistic, but the news about it being stuck in development hell is not encouraging.
Cause I want to see Space Hitler?
Iron Sky much? (><)
I still like the movie well enough, for stupid hilarity and a nice space battle
The trailer is much better than the movie. It needed more rigorous editing.
Thanks for Unearthed!
Also, Be Mine 13 would be the best bundle this
Well, it's kinda obvious to anyone with an inkling of the market today that Murdered will probably bomb - it's a full-priced narrative-led investigation/adventure game, afaik, with the emphasis on "full-priced". I hope it does eventually make its money back, though.
Oh wow, I'd forgotten about the SNES version, but I never knew it was ported over to the 3DO and Jaguar too with a bunch of additional improvements. Definitely looks a little more interesting there!
edit: Now I've fallen down a very strange wikipedia hole where I've discovered that Rebecca Heineman (formerly William Salvador Heineman) who ported Wolfenstein to the 3DO and Jennell Jaquays (formerly Paul Jaquays), who was a longtime level designer for id software, both transitioned genders and are now a married lesbian couple.
Nekro is a fantastic game too. It's also very sad to see newly released games that are good lose their value so fast by being in a bundle
RPG maker bundle is better? It is not, if we are talking games. But there is another contender: bundle stars V is for Vendetta is good too. Tiny Mix and Blood Knight bundles need mention also. This month delivers, as far as bundles go.
This is surprising often, but what I still can't believe that Deadly Premonition ended up in bundle so soon after release. That was really weird decision, not that it was not selling or something.

Get it and make your dream Hawkguy Visual Novel game.
Come on, Skyborn, To the Moon? Sweet Lily Dreams and Deadly Sins 2 (from Skyborn devs IIRC) are also nice. Not to mention Star Stealing Prince, Homework Salesman and rest of the Free Bundle games.
Groupees is nice, true, but I don't see it grossing 1.5 million bucks. Humble will.
Yeah, but the travel wasn't bad-- you had no stamina meter, dungeons had exit shortcuts, fast travel was easy, and there was rarely any time you spent just running without something to do.
Playing Amalur made me think a lot about game design, and I think that boredom can result from any of a number of factors. Not caring about the lore, for instance, or finding the gameplay tedious-- I think KoA was designed well enough that neither of these are an issue, but rather what kills it is the sheer volume of side quests. I could have beaten the game in 40 hours maybe, but instead I beat it after 140 (and there are still a ton of quests I haven't done, maybe only half of them).
That and the area level scaling. Areas somewhat scale to whatever level you are when you first enter them, meaning if you run around exploring at low levels, maybe reaching Rathir at level 10, then by the time you get back to those areas all the enemies (and quests and loot and XP) are at the bottom of their possible range.
A shame we'll never see what the developer could've done with a sequel.
lol, that is crazy.
I launched Ass Creed Revelations to see if it was worth finishing before torturing myself with Ass 3 and man when you think about it the controls in that game are really just.. over the top for the sake of it. I don't remember how to do shit, and I should after about 15 minutes but nope. Keep this button pressed so this other button changes into this other action, also hold these 2 buttons to parkour shit so you can't move the camera when you do it and you gotta do the monster hunter claw. Also what the fuck was the plot even about
sure looks and runs great tho, last Ubi game to do so probably

It has limited gamepad support, but you have to setup everything yourself, and it doesn't recognize some buttons on the 360 controller. You're best off using Xpadder to play the game with a pad, set it up the way you want. I could send you my settings, but unfortunately I'm not at home.
Quite. And it's happening more often now, as seen in the Blood Knights and Vendetta bundles (Blood Knights/Fearless Fantasy/Alien Rage). It's actually a pity, but i'm one of those guys who takes advantage of "vote on Greenlight for free games" offers despite mildly disapproving of them, so I can't really say anything.
Yeah, but the RPG Maker bundle also has To The Moon and Skyborn, plus now you can make your own Steam megahit! Go grab that 15 minutes of internet fame!
Joking aside, this month has been great for bundles already, and it's only the 3rd!
