oh, was this the one where they hyped the game with a waifu but then either they made the waifu DLC or shes barely in the game or something?
I don't know who looks worse in that case: Bamco for doing somethign sleazy like that or the upset fans who let something like a waifu upset them so much

Spot on. Changed the heroine with someone else and tried to make her playable through DLC, yet she ended up as some irrelevant character, IIRC.
Yes XD

If you like point and click adventures, and haven't played this one yet, you're in for a treat. "But someguyinahat, Daedalic adventures all suck and their protagonists are all assholes and sad sacks!" Yeah, this is the exception. This is Daedalic done right.
Holy fuck.
omg is that real

Anglo was filled with rage.
Incidentally, the story was going to be way longer, but at the 20 min mark I realized it was going to be too long, so I truncated some stuff. Trihard was supposed to be the president of the dinosaurs.
At least at the end we find out why Jawmuncher likes dinosaurs so much.
If you haven't found anyone yet, PM me and I should be able to help later.
I got an email from PayPal. Said the summer sale starts on the 11th.
yeah same here, that was a weird one
Well... if he knows he'll spend that much, may as well get 15% more with the same amount.

Paypal did the same thing last year. Valve probably has some sort of promotion deal with them.

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.
Yep. I used to own this (for DOS) on floppy disks. It was terrible - it ran with bad framerate issues, and had no background music whatsoever. Here's a Youtube video I found of someone playing the Wind Man stage:

Yes, it's real. I've played it. You don't get eight robot masters like most, or even six like MM1.
You get three: Voltman, Sonicman and Dynaman. And there's no guesswork as to what's weak to what: you play them left to right.
After playing MM3 on the NES, this was a heartbreaker.

"Hi, PayPal? We'd like you to confirm the Summer Sale date ahead of time!"
Cheers, I'll add you to the list. By which I mean create it because you're the only person on it.

Just as a disclaimer, I won't defend how this DLC is being treated, and if you're genuinely boycotting this out of principle, then ignore this.
However, if you were really looking forward to the game, just get it from GMG for $36, or get it with the season pass for $54. The stuff you're missing out on is not worth waiting 6-12 months for. If you get in on the GMG deal(s), you would be saving about as much money as you'd spend on the GOTY version.
The only DLC that you wouldn't get with the $54 version is the Red Hood one, and that will almost definitely be available down the line for everyone.

Probably worth noting that Other Ocean made the awful Mortal Kombat Arcade Kollection. :v
Though I'm not sure if it was an input laggy mess on consoles too, or if that was just High Voltage's doing.
Sword Coast Legends is now pre-purchaseable. $35 for the standard edition or $60 for the DDE. Oddly, there's no info on what the latter contains.
lol that's absolutely hilarious
ijust told my brother about it and he was like in total disbelief
that's pretty cool, is it still going? i'd probably be up to split two $50 cards

No problem. Glad I could be helpful. From what I played yesterday, combat seems a bit more active. I am enjoying it a lot.

Lost Mines dungeon tileset for Dungeon Masters
Specials Wisps for Dungeon Master cursors

I grabbed the regular edition because most of the DLC they are talking about is pointless (to me). I'm going wait and pick only the good stuff afterwards. No point in buying a season pass or deluxe edition or whatever if half of the stuff they going to bring is costumes and challenge maps or whatever.

It truly was garbage. Worse was trying to get a PC gamepad to work with it.
You guys should post again what does the digital deluxe edition contain, after reading it 4 times I'm not sure.
I think the game was cheaper before when you preordered on their website. I guess the promo changed. I'm excited because the people in charge of the battle system were working on DAO and yet i'm wary because they are not using the D&D ruleset.

I'm not sure DA:O's battle system is something to get excited about. It was ok. It definitely wasn't what people played that game for.
Skipping 5k and going straight for the 6k?

And that's understandable too. I just see people lamenting the DLC situation saying they really wanted to play the game, but are waiting for the GOTY version. In that case, it's almost certainly not worth the trouble of waiting for the GOTY edition when you can 1) buy the base game for less than the base game's MSRP or 2) buy the game + season pass for half the MSRP. There's really no considerable advantage to waiting for that version unless you're also willing to wait even longer for that version to go on sale.
I'm sure there are people truly okay with waiting, but those aren't the same people who are super excited about playing the game. If those people pass up on these pre-release deals, then they're just making themselves suffer for no good reason.
A GAF user said this recently, and I'm inclined to agree with some bits:
People are always pessimistic towards anything Capcom though. Are you really that surprised?
I'm just glad Megaman is finally on steam. Took long enough.

Yatagarasu: Attack on Cataclysm launches July 7th, priced at $14.99
The wait is almost over!
With the exception of GGPO and some campaign perk-related elements, Yatagarasu Attack on Cataclysm is now complete!! To avoid any further delay, we have decided to release Yatagarasu AoC at the earliest opportunity and roll out the remaining features via updates over the following weeks.
can you do steam home streaming from outside of the home, or is it restricted to LAN?
I'm going to be away from home on business for a few days and would like to be able to dip into Kerbal Space Program while I'm away. I suppose if steam home streaming doesn't work I could use something like teamviewer?

I get what you and the person you quoted are saying, but yeah. I don't know. Nothing else to add other than I guess I am just crazy. I own ~1300 games on Steam and ~700 DLC. I just like to make sure I have all the DLC for a game even if its DLC I end up not playing. I am not a completionist in the sense of I like to 100% every game I own, but I am a completionist more in the sense of a collector. I have gotten hosed in the past by the way DLC gets sold piecemeal or time exclusive DLC where I have had to re-buy "complete" editions to get a few pieces of DLC or to get the best deal on a couple pieces I didn't own. I would rather just wait. If they want all my money up front they should just make it simpler up front.

Own all three, but it's not that bad of a deal if you're interested in actually playing them.
