There are a lot more DLCs to come. Just wait for it.
DLC only : Grenades,Sniper Scopes that are good, LMGs
Next stop : Bazookas,Lazer Rifles, Fart Guns
Overkill will never release a GOTY edition.
At first: "Games are cheap! I'm saving so much money!"
But soon enough: "Games are cheap! I'm spending all my money!"
Yeah, you're gonna have to learn to resist the temptation of buying cheap games. Not buying anything from the activision and star wars sale was so hard.
the whole game is disgustingly designed as a f2p game, it's an eternal grind and while i had a lot of fun during beta and shortly after release, they just keep making dlc shit while fixing none of the issues (sometimes making them worse with changes then rolling them back... wtf?)

The developers said on their Twitter there will be sales on Outlast base game for the DLC on multiple sites throughout the week, so I think you'll be golden.
>Looking forward to DreadOut too.

And we only had to wait a year for the good stuff to come out, they were playing the long game.

I am 100% sure Outlast will be -75% in the near future
It's unavoidable during the big sales, but I tend to get by fairly well by only really paying attention to games on my wishlist going on sale, and keeping that wishlist fairly light.

Also as the horror enthusiast I want to say this month is amazing for me. Daylight was disappointing to me (will write-up about it in just a sec), but I'm not too bothered with the Outlast DLC today, DreadOut next week, and The Forest the week after that. And Claire is supposed to be releasing this month as well (Early Access). And Early Access for Darkwood. AND there's a major update coming this month for Damned which adds a new monster, a new stage, and sanity effects.
Good month for me~

No wonder they gave it away for free on PS+ so soon after release. It really is disgusting.
...it's really bad, isn't it? I was thinking it looked really bad.
Really, now? That's a relief. I'll take a quick look at the DLC that's coming out this week, then.

Even though TimeShift only took me 5 hours to beat it still felt a bit long. There are a few too many levels in generic industrial locations, FEAR style.
Tries out The Amazing Spider-Man 1, bought on sale a few days ago...
Hey, but but... it's good ! Why do no one tells me anything these days ? You bad people.
More seriously, played a few hours of it yesterday and while I can see tons of problems with the game, I think I'm gonna side with what IGN said about it : it's not a good game, but it sure is a fun game.
So yeah camera is shit, graphics are uneven, open world is barren and side activities are repetitive. But playing as Spidey feels good, the main missions are nice, there are a few pretty cool moments. Yeah it's the poor man's Arkham series, but it's really not as bad as I imagined it to be. Evidently to appreciate the game you have to like Spidey, open worlds AND having bought it on sale.
The game make me really curious to play the other Beenox games. A fucking shame that they are not on steam or not on PC.
Solid B-tier gaming.

I think PS3 players are still stuck on some very old update. No DLCs there lol.
In addition to what Todd said, it's going to be 66% off on Steam in a few hours, which is sort of like 75% off if you buy it through a trader.
They released many new heists and game features for free though (and they will probably keep on doing it), so you can't really blame them for this stuff.

How can you know that? Have the midweeks leaked?

I'm glad DreadOut releases when I'll be home~! Looking forward to playing.
I think it was Marvel Heroes, obviously (><)
ups sorry, it was DC Universe Online, I took you for someone else
It was mistakenly discounted by 66% last week for a brief moment and the DLC releases today.
It was falsely added as a third midweek last week and removed shortly afterwards so one would assume that it's going to be on sale this week

Freedom = $1.05

Started playing Guacamelee yesterday after finishing FFXHD and, man, that game is hard to put down. I'm looking forward to pissing off that goat as much as i can.

You've achieved a great accomplishment in your life.
This seems to have worked. Thanks.
But wow is CoD4 intense in multiplayer. Such huge player counts. It's not like CoD2, and I'm feeling bad for missing the sale on that game.
Why did you say that?
Now I have to buy it.

I know, it's just the "no image" thingy bothers me. It was the only game I've played recently.
take a deep breath, close gamersgate page and keep repeating yourself "not buying anything till summer sale"
never worked for me, but maybe it will for you, who knows!
it's not available in my region, regional locks be damned.
I still can watch trailers, isn't that charming? (><)

Alright everyone, my impressions of Daylight, that recent randomly generated horror game.
I saw this one coming for better or worse, I had this gut-feeling from early media it was going to be mediocre, and unfortunately that's what it turned out to be.
Daylight is a first-person randomly generated survival-horror game. Or how I like to call it, 'Pseudo Pac-Man'.
Basically, this is the game; You got a story area where you're safe, and story things happen, then you get thrown into a randomly generated maze, where you have to find a key, and find the exit. And then rinse and repeat, over and over, until the game is done. They try and throw a few things in to make it more 'interesting', with random scares in mazes and 'puzzles' in the safe areas. But the scares are super weak for the most part, and the 'puzzles' are such riveting things such as, "Push this glowing crate in front of this higher stack of glowing crates," or, "Find the switch to open up this secret door." Riveting.
Now, I may have drawn attention to my Pac-Man example, let me explain... Since most of the horror is a maze, you sort of just waka-waka your way through these mazes, which get larger as the game goes on. You have a map that forms on the phone you always carry in-front of your face as you explore, and as you go there are 'consumable' story pages that you can pick-up (no worries, they freeze gameplay, yo~). And as you explore, there is a ghost that goes after you. And you look for flares, which act like Power Pellets. The ghost AI I noticed while playing will not kill you if you're not looking at it, though. Essentially the ghost approaches you, and when it gets too close and you look at it, you lose. Ghost can teleport around like Slender, and sometimes you'll turn around and it'll be right there and you die. Also, Glowsticks, which you use to make objects you can interact with highlightable.
It's all fun enough, but hardly scary to me. I was not scared once when playing the game, though was tensed-up during a few closer encounters. It doesn't help that the two main characters (the one who you play as and some guy talking to you on the phone) are very unlikable. You see a chair slightly move. "Ohhhhhhhhh," your character says all scared-like. A tile falls from the ceiling. "Ohhhhhhhh." You start to realize that the character's reacting to try and be 'in-touch' with the player, but it isn't working. She cries to herself that she's scared. She says lines like, "What was that? Was there something behind me?," when clearing there isn't. And says she hears noises when there's no audio at all and stupidly calls out at random if anyone's there, and just... Ugh... I haven't felt this dissonant from a horror protagonist in a long time.
And then there's Mr. Guy on the Radio, who was never explained who exactly he was, but you can take some guesses. He's a guy on a radio, who's official occupation seems to be saying cryptic shit that means absolutely nothing. He'll ring off every once in a while, mostly when you pick up stuff, and rant on like some living Fortune Cookie.
And the story is incredibly disappointing, the files are lackluster to decent, and the ending is all kinds of disappointing. I'd tell you the story, but honestly there's hardly any story to tell. I guessed the stories big plot twist literally in the first five minutes of the game. And the story hardly has any presence in the game anyways.
The randomly generated aspect doesn't feel too needed, as most of the rooms look similar for the most part, and can either make what you're objective is stupidly easy, or a lot harder than it needs to be. I think randomly generated mazes wasn't the best idea on the devs, the game is pretty linear so the random level layout often can make the levels themselves feel rather poor more often than not. Scares and all that I can understand being randomized, but in a game that's at heart a linear corridor horror game, the random feature literally in this case just shifts halls and rooms around.
But it's decent fun, and it looks fairly pretty. The music is nice. I'd say it's decent if it's cheap, but it's honestly a very mediocre game. It's not terrible or even bad I'd say, I'd just say it falls short.of its promise, and it almost all comes from poor choices. The mechanics are good, and there's groundwork here for a good horror game, but the execution just falls flat a lot of the time.
Buy if cheap and like horror games as it's not terrible, but not worth it full price either, and honestly rather average as a whole.And it feels like a lot of other games that have come out in the last few years.

I always get TimeShift mixed up with Fracture (despite that being third person and not on PC). 5 hours sounds like something I can deal with if I plough through in one sitting but I've still got the later half of Singularity to knock out.

All those people trying to get Outlast for cheap before the DLC comes out.
Payday 2: free heists, free guns, free masks, lets people play dlc even if they don't own it so long as the host has it. We're getting another free gun and masks and stuff this week as part of the community thing--heck, the community weapons are generally better than the DLC weapons.
And ya'll are complaining.
I'm more bummed that the LMGs have terrible accuracy.
It is a bit weird that LMGs/Sniper rifles/grenades weren't in the game by default, I guess, but LMGs are so terrible, I'm not sure it matters. Hm. I'll have to think about this more.

Just want to say that I really appreciate your reviews, especially when you include them in Steam.
Then I'm gonna love the hell out of it. F.E.A.R. felt pretty short to me, maybe due to only having like 3 different settings (and luckily I didn't feel like they were stretched out).

Let's not forget that the game was released in an utterly unfinished state, tons of bugs and glitches, very poor balance, very light on content, questionable design choices, constant nerfs by the developers in successive 10gb patches, features promised pre-launch which still haven't been implemented. Anything else that I missed?

FEAR sort of gets away with it because the shooting feedback and enemy encounters are good. TimeShift lacks both of those.
eh it's a lot of free shit for a game which has been changed so many times i don't even want to bother with it anymore
all that they keep doing is making new money sinks instead of actually giving you the ability to just play whatever you want without having to grind for ages
and the big issues still remain
afaik there's still no way to communicate with teammates other than voicechat (yea no thanks) and do-it-all f key, and i don't even know how stealth works anymore or classes. i heard my class got nerfed and buffed like 7 times already and yea i just don't wanna bother anymore with the constant downloads
like i feel like it could be pretty good with friends but since you gotta grind so much the experience with strangers should be way fucking better
1. I think you're exaggerating the bugs and glitches.
2. Not sure what you mean by balance; I think it was quite good, despite some major improvements they needed making.
3. They had more content than the previous game, which I adored, and have continued to add more.
4. Yeah, the small map thing is a terrible design choice, but apparently they're unable for whatever reason to maintain the same map size as the previous game. I've liked a lot of what they've done in the patches, though.
5. What features are we missing aside from 5-6-7 day missions?
I think most of the class changes have been beneficial. They've been watching how people play and responding to that.
Geez, do TF2 people complain this much about the incessant patching that game gets?
What are "the big issues?"
I'm not trying to sound unsympathetic here, I just feel people are exaggerating some of the complaints.
Yes, yes they did, back in the early days before F2P and hats.
Now all they care about is hats, keys, and the pursuit thereof.
That said, TF2 is still awesome, and I really should find some time to play the thing, but right now Drangleic is constantly calling to me. That and Playfire creds.
