Thread got super exciting out of nowhere.

Yeah, I managed to look at the humble daily bundles when I was gone and didn't think much of any of them really... The guncraft one made me think about it for a minute but then it wasn't really worth the hassle i'd need to go through to buy it at the time.
I did manage, after quite the fiasco, to get in on the $20 LoS2 + $4 DLC at amazon on Sunday... what other good deals are still going at Amazon? Any standouts?
Without even needing to send an email?
I saw the bit about the email when I was leaving Saturday morning but didn't see a response when I checked my email tonight.
I got the Sega Classics collection from Amazon but found out I already have this.
Here are the games in this pack btw.

It really was one of those threads that you know is a train wreck but you can't look away from it. Definitely lived up to the performance part of the title.
The Sega 48-Game Mega Arcade Pack is $4.96 and a great value if you don't have any of the games. Injustice Ultimate Edition is $7.50. Other than that, it's mainly the usual sales.
You still can, though. Well, not keys directly, but you can copy the gift link address and put that in a give away. It's the same method as giving away Humble Bundle games.
I just saw that, and im mad about it. I want to give away keys i already have...
You still can (at least you could last week)
Stumpokapow
listen to the mad man
You can still give away keys, I think. I bought a bundle under that system and gave away half the keys and kept the other half.

You still have the gift option right?
I like that system, because copy pasting steam keys is annoying. As long as keys don't get suddenly combined into one "bundle" it is fine by me.
Oh, that's fine. If it can be done then it's all good. I didn't see the option, silly me!
Interesting, I'm reading things in the community threads and it's mind-blowing... they were giving them shit for saying a year ago that the DC would be free for vanilla owners. Man, entitled gamers sure are a fun bunch.
That Watch_Doges thread was amazing.
Yeah, it just appeared on my library out of nowhere, which is why I asked on the first place.

Here's something that's been on my mind lately regarding SEGA and it releasing various of its past gen titles on PC.
First off, PC gets better sales outside Japan than in Japan itself (feel free to correct me on this), as Durante once told me, with PC games, they pay off in the long run and thus can be profitable not matter when it goes on sale as they cover the porting cost in due time.
I wonder; is the reason SEGA hasn't done so yet is because SEGA of Japan doesn't want to have its Western side overtake it in terms of sales and appear more successful than it like what happened during the 90s?

On the fifth and tenth runs you get a pitty bonus level. You can walk straight to the exit on those and get the no loot achievement pretty easy.

ah I have 7 deaths now, I have to hope I dont get loot on run 10
Jamestown has been designed to play and feel like a 1998 japanese shmup from the ground up (Final Form Games accurately tuned the game according to feedback from one of the largest western shmup communities left this side of Hokkaido), albeit with remarkedly western humor and its hand drawn sprites. Sine Mora is centered upon survival, whereas you have to memorize the level layout and determine the optimal setup for your ship/usage of resources, Jamestown upon scoring and balancing risk with benefits, what with the absence of power ups and unlimited secondary ammunition. In the former you are expected to clear the game and unlock achievements as you go while unraveling the plot, in the latter you are expected to score as high as you can on a single credit, plot will be taken care of in the manual and ending.
Sine Mora is a well crafted homage to danmakus built with the themes of euroshmups (limited secondary weapons, more than three P-up levels, scoring based on mere enemy kills, large hitbox, etc), a game you have to pick up and clear, where mastery is obtained by beating the game at the highest difficulty regardless of continues.
Jamestown is an equally well crafted bona fide danmaku, the closest imitation of Gunbird a western software house can release, easy to pick up and play but where mastery is obtained by being there, at the top spot of the leaderboards.
Pick according to your tastes, but if you liked Jamestown chances are you will find Sine Mora palatable.
Thanks for your thoughtful response, you convinced me to pick up Sine Mora.
Make sure to pick up Ikaruga and Crimzon Clover (in a week and a half) for shmups that are actually good, not just good for Steam!
Now I feel bad for totally forgetting that Ikaruga is on Steam, dammit!
How do you know those games will be on sale in 10 days?

He meant Crimzon Clover releases on June 6.
Sorry, didn't mean to imply that. Crimzon Clover isn't out yet but it's releasing on June 6th.

Summer Sale is possible to occur within the next 2 weeks.
However, if you get it now, the little extra you would be paying, as apposed to being on sale, would be beneficial to Ikaruga IMO since it didn't have rank in the Top Steam Sellers.
Ikaruga and Crimzon Clover are purebreed danmakus, not picking them up would be outright criminal. Besides, the former is a masterpiece and a work of art.
I'd also suggest keeping a very close eye on The Tale of ALLTYNEX trilogy, an absolutely excellent series of shooters from Siterskain: just like Treasure, the series merges an intricately elaborate plot spanning all three titles with an extremely intense, fast paced and chaotic bullet hell gameplay.
You're welcome, I'm sure you'll enjoy itThanks for your thoughtful response, you convinced me to pick up Sine Mora.
The plot is unique at best, and they even did a remarkable job at explaining in-universe why there's a Ura loop.Buy the game. Then when you get the call from the Bank representative, you can use it as a chance to sheepishly ask her out.

Volt is now mine, thx!
Though I'm now wondering why I didn't just buy the bundle, Circuits and T.E.C. 3001 seem to be good too. So maybe a Volt giveaway from me coming up tomorrow...

All of the songs are in the description. Looks like the first song is KlK, yeah.
Wait for the GOTY version (is it the GOTY version?), which also goes on sale regularly. Otherwise you'll need to shell out $$$$ for the DLCs.

Just finished Borderlands 2 today.
In my opinion it's average-ish. For me it dipped below average quite a few times, some parts were nice. I couldn't play the game for more than an hour due to how repetitive it feels.
Late game felt rushed and it was pretty awkward, but the game can be an enjoyable experience.
You can also wait and see if it goes for $5 on the summer sale or possibly get the GOTY at the time too.
I thought the Borderlands 2 GOTY edition doesn't actually have all the DLC?

Little irritating that there are two different versions of it which overlap 80%, but no way to get everything from both without just making two separate purchases.

You'll still need to shell out $$$$ for the dlcs even if you get the GOTY
The point at which you care about the DLC not included with the GOTY, you would've probably already gotten the GOTY.
