Any defenders of RE6 in here? 75% off and having just dropped in base price recently seems like it's unlikely to be cheaper on Steam for at least another year.

Unless the DLC is important.

guys don't forget to get a 4K TV to play Arkham Knight in crispy sharpness @_@

Buying a 4K tv for your PS4, what could go wrong?
 
Wasn't sure where to ask this and googling didn't really help so I'm hoping someone here has a solution.

I've been replaying Arkham City on New Game + and after finishing the game I discovered my achievements aren't unlocking. Checked others and nothing is unlocking now and I have no idea why. I've tried verifying the cache, reinstalling, running in compat mode for Win 7, starting a new game and nothing has worked. I guess it's not a big deal but hopefully someone can help.

Coop is great fun, many opportunities for griefing and other shenanigans

RE6 is one of the best bad action movies you'll ever play. Go into it with that in mind and you'll have a blast especially if you play co-op with a buddy.

but that thing bethesda.net... I have a bad feeling about it...

IIRC that doesn't launch until Doom in spring 2016 so at the very least Fallout 4 will be ok.

How are you so sure?

Their community manager said on Twitter that Pip-Boy edition comes with a Steam key.

IIRC that doesn't launch until Doom in spring 2016 so at the very least Fallout 4 will be ok.

It's weird, Doom page says it's Steam version.

Both Fallout are Doom are bigger games than Dishonored or Battlecry and they don't launch Bethesda.net with it?
 

It wasn't a very big studio, was it? Also, it seemed dedicated to these niche experimental titles, which are FINE, but when those experiments fail you've got to try something else. Maybe even sell out a bit with a more mainstream venture in order to fund your pet projects. I never played any of their games even though I was aware of them, and the closure of a studio is always bad, but that's the nature of capitalism especially as Steam is flooded with indie games all competing for your dollar (or indeed, handful of cents.)

Weird, Ori glitched or something and gave me two achievements that i havent earned yet

Ori has been doing that since release. Every time I started the game, it would unlock some complete achievement for me if I had complete a step of the achievement. I guess they didn't fix that.

maybe stop selling your fucking indie games at premium prices and more people will buy them. We joke that "15 became the new 10 and now 20 is the new 15" but its totally true. Most of these games have no business being 20.

I only played Valdis out of those 3, so I'm going to suggest Valdis. It's a fun game, a bit of a combination between a metroidvania and a sidescrolling DMC because of the combos.

Thanks, after much deliberation and almost getting Ethan Carter in lieu of those 3, I went ahead with Jade Empire after all. =P

what does telltale have announced besides that Michone 3 episode Walking Dead thing?

(besides the last few eps of Borderlands and GoT that is)

Minecraft Story Mode is the only one I'm certain of. I think that they might have announced The Walking Dead season 3 already, but I'm not sure.

Well I could be wrong but I thought I read it won't be out until Doom, but with the emphasis on FO4's mods you'd think it would launch sooner right?

I don't think Bethesda is going to launch this all-in-one thing just so people can read news, chat or browse mods. I personally think it will be like Uplay and RS Social Club where all Steam versions will be forced to go through it, but it will also enable Bethesda to sell their own keys that are redeemable ONLY through Beth.net. I hope I'm wrong but why create it in the first place?

I hope so... but that thing bethesda.net... I have a bad feeling about it...

Anyone in their right mind is having bad feelings about bethesda.net.

New DRM is always something I have no problem being cynical about (though I'm pretty cynical about almost everything in the gaming industry)

Minecraft, Marvel and TWD Season 3. That michone stuff is its own project seperate from S3.

And hopefully, for the love of god and all that is holy, soon a new engine.

I believe Resident Evil 6 to be worth it entirely at a cheap price alongside Onslaught Mode.

It's just good fun with the combat system combined with a Puyo Puyo style competitive play of doing one's best with high combos to send more enemies at your opponent (and vice versa). Makes for some good hectic fun.

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.

You did good MRORANGE - everything here is pretty damn solid and should keep you busy for quite some time!

It sucks that the other episodes of Life Is Strange didn't have a bigger discount, but the game is totally worth it.

That blog post confirms that Sunset was indeed exactly that. They dropped a lot of the arthouse aspects of their previous games, studied more successful indies (some of which list ToT as an inspiration, strangely enough) and made something that was very much mainstream. The press they had received was extremely positive and indicated that it was this easing of their previously hard-to-swallow techniques was limiting their audience.

And even then, it still failed for them.

maybe stop selling your fucking indie games at premium prices and more people will buy them. We joke that "15 became the new 10 and now 20 is the new 15" but its totally true. Most of these games have no business being 20.

I knew the pricepoint was going to be a killer for it. Shame they were unable to wait and see how refunds would affect them overtime before calling time of death. However...

What are the chances that their games get removed from Steam?

...there's almost zero chance of this, as the games could still possibly earn them revenue. At the moment, they're asking people to support them in any way they can, including purchasing their games. They won't rip a potential source of income down when they have nothing to lose just leaving it up.

Kinda tempted to buy Ori. Between how gorgeous the game is and its rating, it's getting difficult to resist even with my backlog. Maybe when my last refund has come in, if it gets in before 9 PDT tomorrow, anyway.
 
I see even tho me and others have asked politely for people to stop using eye destroying CA avatars, people dont give 2 fucks about what you ask

This from the thread where new users are insulted for posting spider pictures because they had no clue 1 user was afraid of spiders.

Never chance steamgaf

I'll change mine, I didn't see your request earlier.

Ori is one of those rare games that kept me glued until I finished it. Even just the first 5 minutes with the game made me think this was worth paying full price. Some sections can be frustrating and a couple design decision are... heh, but the gameplay itself, the art and the music are top notch.
