Considering the Complete Pack was featured in a Humble Bundle, I have my doubts that existing owners will receive them for free.

They're probably JaseC-locked by now. You're one of the few customers they can count on buying their games.

Has Platinum commented on the length of Legend of Korra at all? How long they expect an average playthrough to take?

I must know this as well.

There's a Polygon article that quotes 4 hours, but I don't know where they source that from.

Edit: Ah, that number's from Platinum themselves. So yeah, four hours is the expected playthrough time.

 

[HalfwayOrb]

Shadowrun Returns, yay or nay?

Yes. I beat it in two sittings. I enjoyed the story, gameplay, and visuals. I plan to buy and play the director's cut one when it's on sale.

Ah ok. Thanks. I was just curious because I'm thinking about getting it but I wanted to make sure I could play through it before the launch of Beyond Earth and Bayo 1/2. Those games will suck up all my time for a bit.

I hope that's not the case. It was in a Humble Bundle, but the complete pack was on the 20$ tier.

Yeah, but that's 1/5th its base price.

 

[dani_dc]

50% off Hatoful boyfriend so soon nearly makes me regret picking it up at release.

 

[jshackles]

I didn't even know that was possible. If I'm ever planning on being in Washington for a couple days I'll definitely try doing that, thanks for the heads up.

If you ever do, hit me up with a PM and I can get you in touch with the right people.

 

[ArjanN]

There should be a halloween related sale.

Last couple of years the Halloween sale had some nice surprises, in 2012 it was Condemned and in 2013 Typing of the Dead Overkill.

No, if you played X-com because the combat system is... inspired by it but with less money.

I bought it when it was cheap. If you want to play because of roleplaying, Dragon age is a better choice. So unless you love the bacground of the world or be an hardcore rpg fan who want to play every rpf in the world. I don't recommand to buy it full price.

By the way, I played the original version, not the Dragon fall director cut.

Dragonfall is better than the original campaign. I recommend it.

 

[L.O.R.D]

this game...so much love
that details , dat glossy

 

[Dragon1893]

I just played through that area last night.

I'm just trying to rush through to chapter 8 as I hear that is where the game opens up.

That would be chapter 10 and it's only during that specific chapter (or an area within it to be more accurate).
Then it's back to corridors with you.

 

[xBladeM6x]

Been playing Watch_Dogs DLC, and this game has some of the best trees / ambient occlusion I've ever seen, especially when everything is smoothed out with TXAA x4.

 

[Turfster]

Wow, even daily indie game is rebundling bundles...
Guess I'll list them here, but I'm pretty sure most people have these already =p
Price: 1.5$, BTA for 2 bundles

• Memories of a vagabond
• Lightfish
• One day for Ched
• Crystals of Time
• Hacker Evolution Untold
• Desert Thunder

Very kind of you. <Mental note added>
Thanks!

 

[Maniac]

Who's the right people, if one may ask? I damn well hope Marc (Laidlaw) and Arsenio count as right people, because I know those two dudes, but especially Marc.


I definitely intend to visit them at some point in the future. Once chatted with Marc about it and he said I should send him an email if I was ever in Seattle, which I damn well hope to be at some point in the near future, it's one of the few places in the US that I really want to visit.

... And I really need to get out of Daneland just for a little while.

You should do something for your framerate, though.

59 is so last year. 2014 is all about 30.

 

[someguyinahat]

Sorry, quick pic of sketchbook at office.

Pretty cool. He looks like a villain's right-hand man with a gruff but still well-spoken demeanour.

Triple layer DRM, and non-rebindable controls. Don't forget those.

edit2: I had problems with steam all evening, couldn't download games, was losing connection with steam servers and so on. I wonder is it because of free weekend?
I yes, I don't like free weekend ruining my weekend, which isn't free!

 

[LurkerPrime]

Shadowrun Returns, yay or nay?

Nay. Buy Shadowrun Dragonfall: Director's Cut instead.

Same here. Idle Master messed up overnight because of it, then again while I was at work. Disney games are already taking like 2 hours between each card drop without Valve's interference. FML

Darklands and a handful of other classic RPG/adventure games hit Steam just 90 minutes ago: http://store.steampowered.com/sub/53022/ (And, yes, they're region-locked.)

Darklands?

Cool

Man when am I going to see something like this but for FMV titles.
Would love to see stuff like Ripper and Black Dahlia.

 

[MattyG]

Looks like I'm buying Shadowrun Dragonfall instead then!

Briefly thought about buying the pack since it's under $10 in russiabucks, but regionlocked and $18.74? Nope.

Especially since one of those games, Dragonsphere, is a free game on GOG. The rest of the games are currently $2.39 on GOG as well, so I can wait.

Still, it's good to see that Night Dive Studios is still bringing older games to Steam.

Man, Ripper available digitally would be great.

Dragonsphere is a really solid old-school point and click adventure game. Had a neat story twist too.

Looks like I'm buying Shadowrun Dragonfall instead then!

If you like it you can always go back and get Returns later anyway, the campaigns are standalone.

 

[JaseC]

Well, after reading the Steam forums and seeing the devs say that this version of [Paper Monsters] is about 2 years old and they have a new Steamworks version on the way, I can wait. But I hope they use the same app (to satisfy my collector OCD)

Bad news for you, good news for me. In my e-mails to CM I did mention that getting access to the original app would be possible, but the person I was corresponding with probably forgot -- the new app is only a few months old and those e-mails were exchanged five months earlier.

 

[iosefe]

Bad news for you, good news for me.

 

[chronomac]

Anyone want a Guacamelee or Spelunky background? Got one of each and I figured someone would want them. Totally free.

Hey, we're still not in community. Cool.

Some of the other threads being considered have been moved there already.

Never heard of any of these games. Sword of the Samurai looks pretty neat.

I don't know what blade symphony is but i'm about to find out.

Night Dive so it's fair to assume it's going to be bundled sooner or later.

Spoiler

Well that's a bundle on steam too

 

[iosefe]

i don't get AQ'd enough

 

[Miguel81]

Blacklist brings the moody atmosphere back tenfold. Really love how it looks in these dim locales.

 

[Tellaerin]

Man... I do love Shadowrun but even from a pure gameplay perspective I would rather play Returns than Dragon Age. DA is just terribly balanced. It has the trappings of a Baldur's Gate heir yet almost no attention seemed to be paid to balance, certainly not when you're pausing and choosing spells at your leisure.

Maybe it's more fun if you pretend mages aren't hilariously overpowered? I dunno. Returns, at least, rewards smart positioning and has some interesting encounter design for the last chunk of the game.

I dunno. My standard party was the heroine, Wynne, Alistair, and Leliana, and I never felt the game was snooze-inducingly easy. Guess it really comes down to who you decide to roll with and how you spec them.

 

[iosefe]

i think i'm giving up on wrestling with FFXIII for now. it's too damn unstable. even working with GeDoSaTo, it's tough


what's Square's history on patching?

 

[Arthea]

you guys are slacking, why I have get to know that the best steam game got another awesome dlc from the store and not from this thread?

 

[Chariot]

Oh dear.

 

[JaseC]

The game that keeps on giving (I still need to buy me that colouring book). I love that it has been successful enough as a gag gift to justify releasing DLC almost half a decade later.

 

[gngf123]

I remember when I accidentally bought that game while drunk.

I still haven't opened it.

 

[zkylon]

i thought combat in dao was pretty ok, nothing spectacular but it works. i specially liked that they actually left friendly fire on so magic was pretty fun

i also loved that i was totally dumped by alistar, that was hilarious

i'd say it's a more fun game than these shadowrun thingies but i dunno how they relate really

 

[Grief.exe]

Jase, are you finding that playing Steam Pokemon is sustainable going forward with Valve allowing all these games to be dumped on the store?
Or are you just having more fun than Stump, exploiting promotional rewards?

 

[Casimir]

Good game, the regret I have for picking up a Uplay copy is endless however.

This one seem like must have!
at least you bought multiplay dlc, I hope

I remember when I accidentally bought that game while drunk.

I still haven't opened it.

I actually tried to play it, it didn't go all that well (><)

Spoiler

I had no idea! how awesome it is at that time

 

[KingJolly]

I don't know where to post this.

But could someone shed some light one me between the upcoming Alienware Alpha specs and the PS4? Intereseted in entering the PC/Steam realm but in a console form.

Again this is probably not the place to ask but thank you very much
