What do you mean?
I'll be damned, it worked. Thanks for the heads up, I'm all set.

Yeah, maybe I'll do that. I'll be trading in a couple games to get a Steam card so I may just buy the DLC pass this summer or something.
Playing Souls 1 DLC right now, never did play Bloodborne's (never will either, 60fps Souls spoiled me).
- putting dx11 behind a paywall
- adding content that's not included in the season pass and not selling it directly but forcing you to "upgrade" instead
- fragmenting the community with two different versions of dks2

They fragmented the DS1 community when they never bothered to get people off the beta. And that is the same game.
Yep, recent bundles have been amazing!

You talking about the Steamworks beta patch? Is that still beta?
Anybody on GFWL deserves their fate.

Yes. It is still there as an opt in. The beta and non-beta are exactly the same but use different MP pools.
There are still players who switched over early that are in the beta pool unwittingly.

I had no idea. I'm still opt in for that beta. Time to switch it back to normal.
You are making an argument about DLC practices, which are inherently predatory throughout essentially the entire industry, and stretching that to early adopters of the game.
I don't see how a day one purchase should be impacted by any of this evidence.
That seems like an oversight.
i mean, i've bought season passes and preordered games and haven't ran into crap like this before so that's my reason to not feel too confident, cos i know it can be done right and in the case of dark souls 2 it hasn't

I never switched back because I thought the original was still GFWL. Guess that's why I never see anybody lol.
Yeah samesies.
Is Not A Hero worth buying for $3.24? The videos makes it look fun but I want some feedback.
How do you like games such as Gunpoint? Or RONIN? Kinda similar in terms of level design/mechanic, pretty sure. I believe old man corrosivefrost finished it, so maybe he can let you know. I didn't finish the whole thing, so I don't want to say yes/no, really.
Really, though, I hate that question. Is it worth it? Does it look like something you'd enjoy? Then $3.24 is no amount.

I still wonder if we would've ever seen the DX11 version with it's "Director's Cut" type properties if the original hadn't launched on the PS3/x360 leaving room to do a DC type version when the game was brought over to PS4/X1.
Bandai Namco played it extremely smart, using the porting to the new generation of consoles as a reason to make a remixed version of sorts, which they marketed to PC as well.
It was done fine, from my perspective. Granted, I have a bit of a soft spot for the FROM souls games (and Bloodborne), but still... all it really takes for me to not consider it bad form is for reasonable discounts to be offered to previous customers in a fair and consistent manner. I was given a sizable discount off the director's cut (which is essentially what SotFS is) and had it grown by the fact that I had bought the Season Pass and never bothered to play it. I was happy with how they handled it.
I knew I liked you for a reason. Unless someone else has the same exact tastes, same exact opinions, same exact finances, etc. there's no way I can realistically answer "Is this worth <x"?" for another poster. It's impossible.
Not a Hero is a fun game. Some of the challenges are a bit... frustrating, if you're a 100% completion type of gamer. The humor can be great or very off-putting, depending on what you normally find funny. There are some technical issues with double input from controller, I believe, that were introduced in the patch that added achievements and still haven't been fixed, but I still managed to 100% the game. I'd say it's worth $3.25 to me, definitely. But that's me.
i didn't like not a hero, the gameplay didn't hook me and the humor fell super flat too
but the upgrade costs 30 dollars -__-

It's not worth it. Don't buy or play video games.
Thanks for the feedback. I have Gunpoint in my library but haven't played it yet. I'll try that first then.
It's not dead guys!

Only half dead
well
they say there they plan to have a new 2 week bundle every single week
so that's even better than the weekly ones
(if they keep it consistent that is)

Same here. I found it to be a lot of fun to mess around and go for all the challenges. They also updated the game and it feels super snappy now.

Imagine if EA or Ubisoft offering DX upgrade behind a paywall and the other similar things.
Gunpoint was my favourite game of those I completed for the 52 Games a Year challenge for 2015. Love the soundtrack especially. Plays smoothly, as well. I played it through twice, still didn't 100% because of the secret ones. Really enjoyed it. It can get frustrating at times, I guess. There's no real issue with knocking out guards, in fact they only really become more "difficult" you could say in certain places - so in that case it's relatively easy. All the rewiring in terms of lights/doors/etc can get annoying, but I'd say some of the upgrades make up for that issue over time.
In case you missed it:

Now those are the kind of TitS I don't mind being shoved onto my face.
it wouldn't make any difference for me tbhImagine if EA or Ubisoft offering DX upgrade behind a paywall and the other similar things.
That's ignorance.

If you are doing PvP get the Watchdog linked in the Steam forums. There is no official cheat oversight in DS and it protects you from the nasty hacked items that can ruin PvP.
It also checks for some other things but it won't pick up one-hit weps or infinite health.
I agree, would be cool to also maintain the weekly, but that would probably affect the quality of the bundles eventually I guess.

Well the MP issue has been known for over a year now so I guess they are stumped on how to fix that one as well.

Nah if I want PVP I'll play Souls 2.

Looks like I have all those games except for the Dark Forces II expansion. I think I have the boxed version of a couple of those that I never played.
Come to think of it I have never played most of the boxed games that I own. I am like a Steam account come to life.
