Whats the verdict on this?
Bloodnet, Rex Nebular, Slave Zero and Sword of the Samurai are great and cost 7 each at the moment.
It's a no-brainer, really

She's 18 on the wiki page.
Though I know the look causes issue for some since it's obvious what role she is going to fill. NSFW example http://i.ytimg.com/vi/JCKRraCbPfs/maxresdefault.jpg
Still at the end of the day Senran Kagura is more of the surprise.
Xseed omitted the ages just because of that.
Someone was asking about Amphora reviews earlier.
Best bundle in a while. The only game I already have is Shadow Ops.

Hope this is the right place to ask for it, if not sorry!
I see he is still mispronouncing 'melee.'
Getting hyped for the game.

I'm amused by the trolls on Steam - just had a Russian user who spammed me with a bunch of gibberish before trying to sucker me in with the "view this image" scam.
What a joker.

It seems this year PES is a very good game. That' great, and it will force EA Sports to be more audacious next year.
Edit: wait, do we get the next-gen version on PC, or is this a PS360 port?

It's weird to have a game that works perfectly fine except for when you close it.
Valkyria Chronicles does this to me every time. It informs me that it has stopped working.
It's not a big deal all I need to do is ALT+TAB to it and close program. But it's just odd regardless since everything else has no problems.

The old printscrn/steamcornmunity huh?
If it's someone low level with no games or private profile i just ignore their add request right away now.
Yeah, even having a few common friends isn't enough for me these days, unless they're GAFers/IRL friends.

Yeah, that's what I've been doing as well. Had an influx of lvl. 1 users with 1 or 2 games. It amuses me, if nothing else.

How are you supposed to pronounce it?
I usually say "meh-lay" (or something like that)

I get that a lot with new vegas.
Seems like you are right, 'meh-lay' or 'may-lay' should be fine.

I love how they say it's the same except for a bunch of things which are actually pretty important.
I bought a tad too many games lately, so I will abstain from buying Runaway now, that's why I'm giving away 80% OFF Runaway A Twist of Fate coupon, also I have two of those. Just contact me on steam.
I always say meh-li: for some reason like in glee, can't help myself.

Why do they do that? Wouldn't an entirely different development branch cost more time and money?
Has to be some kind of policy decision that I am not aware of to intentionally handicap the PC version.
Exactly the same...except for everything.

Fun fact: Today we determined that Jasec would need 9 Terabytes of disk space to hold his entire Steam library.
I haven't owned 9TB of storage in my life.
The last bit of biting satire is the frightening part. In my best Russel Crowe impression, it seems to me that these games are trending towards becoming DLC delivery devices.
I have the same exact problem right now. I've cleared just about every character on Satan,
Lamb
So they copied the shitty NPC bark cutscene interrupts from Thi4f, huh.
What the hell is it with companies doing this shit. It's PC. If people can't run it at current gen equivalency, that's why there are graphical options. What kind of backward ass thinking is this. Are companies really this stupid? Seems so. What idiots.

Good, it seems fairly minor stuff. Thanks a lot
I might buy PES15 then (strangely, it's not available in the Canadian Steam store...). I haven't played a PES game in ages.
Valkyria will eat you alive.
First three chapters are sort of a tutorial, but after that things get really nasty fast.

Oh man, this looks pretty good.
Knurek please
I've been waiting for Sword of the Samurai to be bundled, that price is much better than the $7 it's being sold for on Steam. Shame that the bundle doesn't include Dragonsphere and Darklands though, would have been nice to round out the Classic Adventure Pack.
damn. I haven't even beat mom yet.
I only managed to do that once on flash version isaac. I need to work on it.

Maan. The gore of my dreams. I love gore in games.

it's going to be hard to decide whether my goty this year is going to be re4 ultimate hd or divinity os, valkyria chronicles is bretty good too, probably my third favourite game this year
also kinda funny, if someone took a screencap of my post and sent it to me last year i would've laughed my ass off just by reading re4 hd and valkyria chronicles on pc
i'm still cautiously optimistic because i don't want to get burned but yeah, we may be looking at my 2015 goty right there (though there's mgs5 and probably bannerlord too that year, gnnnnn).

Cross posting from indie-game thread. The Joylancer: Legendary Motor Knight can be found on Steam here:
http://store.steampowered.com/app/315540/
******************
Quick Impressions:
Joylancer is interesting. I'm not quite sure what the art style has to do with the mechanics of the game. Not that they need to be mutually exclusive, it's just that I wasn't expecting a skill-based action game. In terms of comparisons, Joylancer takes a bit of inspiration from Devil May Cry 4. Specifically the Red Queen from DMC4. You can, and always should, rev (like torquing the accelerator on a motorcycle) yourself up to do a whole host of different things. As of right now there are four tiers to revving. Each tier either allows you to string longer combos as well as do more damage or to jump higher.
Additionally, revving also acts as a parry to enemy attacks. So again, forever and always, rev it. Not that revving takes much time, but it's a bit too much of an I-win button at the moment.
Ultimately, when you start getting into the groove of Joylancer, things really start to click. It's possible to almost scroll across a level horizontally via pressing jump and attack one after the other in quick succession. Popping and enemy into the air via rev-jumping, attacking a few times and then drilling down feels really good. But it still feels like something is missing. Something isn't completely gelling and I honestly can't articulate what that is. Maybe it's the lack of a combo-meter? Perhaps revving is too OP? Execution surely isn't the problem, because after ten minutes I felt pretty skilled. Joylancer is scheduled to come out of Early Access in January so I'll wait and see what other updates happen and also do additional Let's Play if there is a significant changelog.
Good Stuff
Bad Stuff
Bottom Line: Shows a lot of promise but it still needs to bake more.

Good Stuff
- Mechanics are solid
- Frenetic action
- Lovely visuals (including something of a super gameboy color swap feature)
- Funny dialog and text
Bad Stuff
- Loading times can be unusually long, even just switching visual styles has a notable pause.
- There are still game-breaking bugs or un-escapable level design(which is mitigated by the Reset Level option in the pause menu)
Bottom Line: Shows a lot of promise but it still needs to bake more.
