jackbox is a great party game. YDKJ, Fibbage, and Drawful are all terrific party games. The other games are ok but those 3 are well worth the price of the package
The former.
Look kn gamingsite there is a huge thread about it where people brawl like in a english pub during football.

It already is?
It is out already. Go to W3 Store page and download them.

You probably just thought because there's one for 250? I've never seen a 750. 500, 1000, 2000, etc.

For all of the growing pains it has as a low budget affair, I found myself rather in love with it by the end. There are many things that could have been done better by a more experienced team and larger budget, but the developers have a certain understanding about pacing and integrating the scares into the world that sets them above many other independent horror makers out there.
There's quirky, sometimes awkward humor which eventually grew on me, and does a fine job of making the students feel like teenagers. Especially considering the time they have to endear you to the characters before things start really hitting the fan. Which is where the game truly shines, once the lights are out and the spirits crawl from their hiding spots to play.
The gameplay borrows a lot from PS2 era classics - particularly Fatal Frame but with some Silent Hill aesthetics borrowed and applied to Indonesian culture. From the way the character handles to the way each game system works, it feels like it came out of 2002. You might think that a negative, but I can describe it as having nostalgia for something that didn't actually come out at the turn of the century. Is that weird? Probably.
There's quite a lot to look past, from some dodgy animations to very low res textures rearing their ugly heads like the creatures of the night themselves. It is very ugly, yet attractive to anyone who enjoyed horror games of days' past. Though, they went through the trouble of using immersive positional audio, which is something I always find other horror devs slacking on. I really appreciated that they took the time to get this aspect right, as I feel like skipping it misses the point of the mantra of "Play with headphones". So while it may be lacking visually from time to time, the audio uplifts the presentation.
For all of the technical weirdness, I remained glued to my desk during my time with Dreadout. Which points to one of Dreadout's strengths and weaknesses - the game is so well paced that by the time it's over, you want more. Many devs overstay their welcome or hammer one type of scare too hard for too long. Dreadout introduces new concepts to keep things fresh, even some things that other games in the genre haven't tried before. This is an uncut diamond, and one which I hope others pick up and enjoy much in the same way I did. There's just something special about the way they "get" horror that hasn't been seen much since the decline of the genre's popularity beyond youtube jumpscare bait.

Tell me more. Reviews are mentioning Gauntlet (the old, good ones I suppose). Is it okay alone?
Only 8 DLCs are showing up here, none of the new in the store page.
Man I really want to get the Ultimate Edition but $30 is a lot lol. Will be more than what I've spent on any one game this sale. I think I should go look at some gameplay video before making any decision.

Planet Explorers has one of the jankiest animation I've ever seen.

No. You can install fresh but don't have to.
Thanks, Bought!

Sweet, thanks.
I can't even find Empires on the store? Search isn't turning it up
Yeah, it does that for some unknown reason (I'm sure someone can actually explain it in here though)

So Sony could have funded the game without making the kickstarter. *rolls eyes*

Is YDKJ there loaded with content like their release last time?

There are of course exceptions. For example if you have a 32Bit OS and want to go 64. Or if you're running Vista.
making the fact that everyone fucks off to the rapture being exclusive more and more bizarre

Of course they could. $2m is nothing. They could fund anything. Doesn't mean they should.

64 bit 8.1 for me now; I've been installing stuff since getting the new laptop in January, just didn't want to have to move files and such if I didn't have to. I'm fine with reinstalling games, just have to watch out for Galaxy wiping my folders while doing that though...

I'd be surprised if the development was $2mil. KS was just for building the hype train.
let's try this again precious steamgaf. I have very little money left of my summer sale fund, so you probably could talk me out of some games. This is what I want from today offerings:
Game of Thrones (kinda too expensive still and Telltale game, but otoh GoT)
DYNASTY WARRIORS 8 - I didn't asked for this price, it not gonna go cheaper any time soon it would seem, not to mention that base price still high
GROUND ZEROES - I'm not entirely sure I even want this. but it's MGS and not too expensive.
Metal Gear Rising already played long ago on PS3, not a fan, but it's kinda cheap
Dungeons 2 - shouldn't even be considering, can't afford
Test Drive Unlimited 2 - price is nice...
The Secret World - I was planning to try it at some point, but maybe next year would do?
Lichdom: Battlemage - again not sure, do I want it? gameplay vids do nothing for me, it doesn't look that fun... but maybe it's wrong impression, is it?
Tokyo School Life ... -45%, after it was hardest to unlock? damn. again unlikely it'll ever get cheaper, at least not any time soon
Fight The Dragon - is it multi, coop oriented? Surely looks like it. Or is it fun alone too?
DreadOut - can it wait till Halloween sale, or aren't we not getting it like the last time.
kindly help to prune this list

So sorry for you that you don't get the game locked into an exclusive deal on one console - or not at all because nobody wanted to take the tisk. I for one am glad that we get it and that we get it one PC. Because I am not ashaned if my main gaming platform. You continue to drool about your fictional 3D girls and be edgy, but keep in mind that others actually want 2D girls and good games on PC!

Of course. Even Bloodstained already had a guaranteed $5 behind it. You can't make Shenmue on $2m. This is just a few early preorders + marketing + lower risk.
Who cares, there's going to be a new Shenmue
I had this bug earlier today, just leave it, close reopen chrome, run the game again. stupid, but worked for me.

yeah, only gaf could make the miracle that is a new shenmue game a bad thing.
cmon now, who gives a shit how it's coming about? Enough money men have been fooled into funding a virtua fighter walking simulator yet again. This should be a time of great joy and bliss.

Eh? Did I forget to tip you?
Tokyo school life sounds like something that could end up in a bundle eventually.
Like a Groupee Japan bundle or something.

I guess I have to wait for next year to get Stick of Truth at sub-10 CAD. C'est la vie.

I'm buying nothing but wormholes and crits tomorrow.
You really need to get in a good game early. Everything left now seems really bad.

Maybe Winter Sale?
What I find odd is how the prices fluctuate between Winter Sale and Summer Sale when some games are way cheaper in summer and then in Winter they cost more and vice versa. Then again a deal is still deal.
Doubt it'll drop that low.
It's a licensed title and a big seller for Ubi.
