Yeah, I'm really happy about this bundle. Especially This Is the Police and The Turing Test. And I'm definitely gonna subscribe for next month's bundle too to get Stellaris. Very impressive.
 
My first Dragon Quest game was DQ5, or more specifically the English-patched PS2 version. I really enjoyed the orchestral soundtrack and the narrative.
 
Over 50 hours in now. Just beat the Sixth Base. Man some of those were brutal! The Third Base with
Ludope
and the Fourth Base with
Hannah and Hinnah
were definitely the hardest. It got very frustrating at times but felt incredible once I finally beat them.

I'm really trying to figure out how to trigger summons. I've used Rush's Cyclops a handful of times - it's very rare though. And I've literally never had Emmy's Namul Niram summon trigger. I know the main requirements are that the summoner must be the union leader and must not be deadlocked. But still, there must be some trick to upping my chances. Searching the Steam and GameFAQs forums brought up some discussions where people were debating that union/overall morale may have an effect on your summon chances. Some of the posters said they get a summon trigger almost every battle. I'll try to play around with union setups more because having that Cyclops summoned at the beginning of a battle is absolutely game-changing when it happens; it can tank several enemy unions at a time.

Man this monthly was seriously good. Stellaris for the early unlock of next month is also extremely good. Monthly has been on a pretty great streak.
 
Yay, got Undertale in a giveaway on another site. I still have a bunch of other games in my backlog to get through first, but should I go for pacifist or neutral on my first playthrough?
 
Friends, I'm drawing a blank and google isn't helping me. What's the name of that Don't Starve type game where you start as some dude in space with a robot pal?

It's the only survival game that's ever looked mildly interesting to me, but I can't think of the name of it right now.

Oxygen Not Included? What's the camera view and the art style?

If you go through the neutral path the first time through without killing anyone, you can load up your save and immediately start the path toward the pacifist ending right after you finish.

I just checked the comments about the bundle and people seems to talk about GoNNER, any recommandations or comments about this game?
 
To buy Prey or not to buy Prey...........................

hmmm

Did you like Bioshock?

If the answer is no than I would wait.

If the answer is yes! then I say Buy! (you can get it on cdkeys or other online retailers for less than STEAM)

Expect Bioshock but better in many ways. A bit more RPGlike and more open.
I loved Bioshock and I love Prey so far.

Scott Miller and Chris Rhinehart talk about the Prey series troubled history with GamesRadar.

And after a pitch from Human Head, Bethesda picked up the rights for the series in 2009. This sequel was a radically different game: the portals, wall-walking boots, and Native Americans were gone. Instead you played as a human bounty hunter, deep in space, looking to solve mysteries by cover-shooting and chasing down alien scum using a slick free-running system reminiscent of Mirror’s Edge. Think Deus Ex meets Mass Effect meets Prince of Persia, and you’re getting close to what it might have been like. During closed demos of the game, the creators teased links to Tommy, the hero from the original Prey, but he was no longer the protagonist.

Human Head worked on the game with Bethesda until late 2011. At that point, it was possible to play through all of the game's major levels, many of the weapons were in, as were the enemies. "We were really proud and happy with everything that we had created at that point," Rhinehart says. And while the first pitch for Prey 2 did include Tommy, Human Head instead decided to take the sequel in a different direction, while still working inside the universe of the first Prey game.

ACG gives it a "BUY NOW" rating.


Good to know. Reviews seem good. Even has SC support. FOV slider not being there is a big pile of poop but there is a work around so it would be fine.

Awesome - - - - although it is embarrassing to say that I never got far in Bioshock. Not sure why. Loved System Shock games though, which I hear Bioshock practically mirrors.


Seems I will buy it

I think you'll like it. It also has some of the finest Steam Controller support I've seen.

if you like system shock then yes



so.. system shock

Well I have never played much of System Shock but I mean the looks, the feel, the gameplay and even the story telling method are reminiscent of Bioshock. I think its safe to say if someone hated Bioshock they likely wont love Prey.

Trying to play Rocket league with a person whom I've shared my library with, but they can't play it because it launches the game from my library even though it's on a free weekend. So annoying.

Can't you just disable library sharing temporarely to play?

Well
Just beat Sniper Ghost Warrior 3
Overall I enjoyed it, it is a nice combination of sniping+stealth game.
The final stage was quite hilarious; you just infiltrate a compound, go into the secret underground bunker, get to a room
And that's it; you beat the game, no boss fight no nothing, just a cutscene and then fin

I'd say I spent 10+ hours on the main campaign while doing some side stuff, but the main reason for the long time it took to beat it has to do with the loading times.
Dear Crom, the loading times. The open world structure really hurts it as there was nothing interesting about driving through the map, esp. when the vehicle you drive is a jeep and it can barely reach 100 KM most of the time.

Still sniping people was fun so I won't say it wasn't a worthwhile purchase~

Yeah I bought it. Proper happy with my new place's internet. Slow with simple web stuff but blazing for Steam, downloads and streaming stuff. 9.2 MB/s - more please (well more than I've ever had)

Wait for Winter Seal
Or Humble Monthly

This could stand for everything. I'm good with spending on a fun single player game, plus I'm a bit bored atm.
