I post in whatever thread I want because I don't have the desire to be a dick about every disagreement like some

Spoiler

not you

I don't necessarily try to be a dick... I just speak my mind. Sometimes, apparently, people have problems with my opinions.

Does this count as -1 to my backlog or do I have to complete NG+ too?

Technically it's -1. NG+ is only if you want to see the other ending without YouTube, enjoy the game, or want to get all the achievements.

It also benefits immensely from UPlay.
Said no one ever.

Completely agreed on all fronts. I played the 360 demo, which only has one level, and it lasted what felt like an hour. Enormous, endless, mostly repetitive and samey level segments. Ugh. I think their target audience was the kind of person that plays Bubsy 3D's first level ten thousand times or something.

This sounds remarkably like my summary of Rogue Legacy. I liked the game and recommend it, but every time I post about it it's to point out that I think the game is mostly a shallow low-skill grind masquerading as a skillful, deep game.

(1) Truth. Even if I accept that Ubi games currently require Uplay through Steam, that doesn't mean that Uplay is actually beneficial.

(2) Yeah, I think I had pretty much the same opinion about Blade Kitten via the 360 demo. That said, I'd probably grab it for cheap before it had the ability to disappear again. :lol

(3) I don't agree that Rogue Legacy is a low-skill grind. I'm a decent gamer and being potentially overleveled I had some serious problems with the final boss. Once I got to NG+, everything was so ridiculously difficult that I just dropped the game and gave up the idea of finishing the rest of the achievements (at least for now).

Very apropos.

Thanks corrosivefrost for Sweezy Gunner! Looks like a lot of fun!

It's actually not a bad little game. I played a good chunk for the playfire rewards and plan to finish it someday (whenever I get around to going back). I didn't like that it used a mouse/keyboard with no gamepad support, so I made a PGP profile so I could use a gamepad.... however, this didn't fix everything as the game doesn't have full screen options and you can't really use PGP to turn the game into a twin stick shooter entirely. If I could, I'd be even more positive about it... but when I occasionally lost track of the aiming cursor and it goes out of bounds and I fire and the game loses focus, that's aggravating. :\

Seeing the Risen Collection is on sale on Amazon.com right now is any of the DLC for Risen 2 worth a look in?

It also benefits immensely from UPlay.

Said no one ever.

I'm sure there was maybe one person who was super stoked that they could unlock an exclusive Ghost Recon desktop wallpaper with their accumulated Uplay points. That would seem like an odd bonus in the late '90's let alone in this day and age.

With The Conquest Bundle ending later today, we should probably launch a new bundle to replace it - what do you think?

 

[HoosTrax]

Man, I hate ditching a game at the very end of it, but I can't deal with the last shitty achievement in Risk of Rain. Got all the characters, did all their challenges, got almost the entire item log (I've killed like 8 billion magma wurms and never once seen its unique drop!) and unlocked all the artifacts. Doing the all artifact run to unlock the final one was a good bit of last challenge.

Really hate closing the book with a chapter left in it, but the last one is "drown 20 whorls". Play over and over until I not only get the underwater level, but get there with an adequate level of power but not too much so I can knock them back without killing them, get lucky in that it has active spawns AND that I don't get there too late so the Whorls don't spawn anymore. I mean, at that point, why not just put a slot machine on the main menu and have me pull that for five straight hours? It'd save me time at least.

Oh well, great game even if I wasn't enamored with every aspect of it and found parts of it disappointing. Well worth the 30 hour completion! Now I want to buy Nuclear Throne...

This is the one and only achievement I haven't done in Risk of Rain as well. Not a fan of of achievements that make you go out of your way to do stupid shit that's reliant on luck on as well.

It just occurred to me that in less than 4 hours we're going to be twice as flabbergasted by both the new astounding Humble Daily Bundle and the new overwhelmingly cool Humble Weekly Bundle!

Concerning Wolfenstein TNO Uncut:

Are you kidding me Bethesda? Now they have added Switzerland to the "ReleaseStateOverrideCountries" list but Austria is still missing from that list! That means Wolfenstein TNO uncut is still in "preloadonly" state in Austria although it would be perfectly legal to release it here.

Well there goes my hopes that Wolfenstein TNO uncut will be officially released in Austria. Now that they have added Switzerland to the list of countries where the game is released, I highly doubt they'll edit it again to include Austria too.

I'd wait for the game to release in Japan before losing all hope. Of course, you're looking at a waiting period of almost two weeks:

Available: 4 June 2014

This game will unlock in approximately 1 week, 6 days and 1 hour

The releasestateoverride flag can be added to subs, meaning what Bethesda could do is change the app's general release state but restrict the JP-specific sub, however I'd say you'll be waiting the full 1 week, 6 days and 15 minutes.

If you liked Risen 2, I definitely recommend the two content DLCs. They add a neat little new island each that gives the same exploration gratifcation as the main game.

It's amusing that the patch hasn't even hit yet the keys have been whitelisted. How in the world did WB manage to screw up Batman so badly? If memory serves, the key redemption issues were never fully resolved and WB reps just began telling people to receive a key via WB Support.

Kinda interesting how you'll need a Recovery Search & Rescue Sim to fix all the clumsy Mining & Tunneling you did earlier, especially if you were digging under a really old scaffolding operated by Bridge Constructors, tore down by Demolition Masters.
I've yet to figure out how to put in aircrafts, rally cars and construction machines, but I guess those could fit together in an entirely separate ip.

Amazing news.
Elminage is a series of Japanese Dungeon Crawlers (think Wizardry or Legend of Grimrock or Shin Megami Tensei) with music by Hitoshi Sakimoto (FFTactics, FF12).
//EDIT: The original one at least, Gothic is scored by Kenji Yamazaki.
Still amazing news, day one if not price gouged.

Okay SteamGAF, riddle me this.

For the Amazon weekend sale I'm considering:

Sniper Elite: Nazi Zombie Army - $3.75

OR

Sniper Elite: Nazi Zombie Army 2 - $3.75

Not interested in multiplayer at all, just a casual run through the single-player campaign.

Any idea which is better?

Oh cool, this is one of the 3DS games that I wanted to be localized that was never localized. It was originally a PSP game, if I recall correctly. The fact that it's not SMT stings less, I'm hyped for it to release.
