Wait! Has my paid DoA5 turned into an f2p version? I don't see that I own any of the character dlcs

Is this the best value to get most of the costume packs?
http://store.steampowered.com/app/533560/?snr=1_5_1100__1100
I just checked my copy of the game, and it remains the "Full" version. I do see all the characters and Story Mode in my DLCs.

There are way too many DLC costumes, and the cost of the costume bundles means there's no way to buy specific costumes in an efficient manner.
KT ought to go full Train Simulator and release all the costumes as individual purchaseables, coupled with a bigger variety of costume bundle discounts.

But first they need to add actual online lobbies, since they apparently still haven't added that to the game.
 
Now that GMG stopped offering those discount codes GameBillet might very well be the best alternative to it in this sense. Just bought the Dark Souls 3 Season Pass for 18.34€ from their UK store using the GBITADUK20 coupon.

I've never been much of an Ayane or Kasumi player, I'd rather play Ein or Hitomi tbh, maybe I should just buy Hitomi lol.

Vanquish is definitely a sure thing, but I'm not so sure that Charlesworth's tweet was a tease. Valkyria Chronicles was uploaded to Steam seven months prior to release and Lost World around a year, so I doubt Vanquish was uploaded two years ago now (more or less) and counting.

I considered Charlesworth's tweet as a tease as it was made shortly after Inaba was spotted at Valve. How time flies, I didn't realise that it was 2 years ago.

You're missing out fam, Early Access has been amazing.






One of the many problems with Valve's open structure is they can take a long time to make necessary changes that much of their staff probably look down on as beneath their abilities.



Did you count those games that you purchased during the EA period and have sense released?
No ty the tasmainian tiger grief? You disappoint me

If you cherry pick a bit, yes. In an ocean of EA games, some must surely be good.

That is the point though - it is a platform for experimentation and highly iterative development. It is utter stupidity to assume that such a platform should produce a greater amount of successes than failures. Ultimately such an optional system, already clearly identified as something dubious, selling incomplete products with no assurance of completion, has been doing perfectly well as an open system in reveal great ideas and games that otherwise would not exist or release in such an improved state over their original ideas. I couldn't give two shits that a lot are failures or don't even leave early access when I am not inclined to buy them, not forced too, and free to choose and explore what I feel are reasonable or even avoid the system altogether in favour of waiting for finished products

I agreed somewhat, but I feel there must be some sort of limitations.
 
Bundlejunk reviews:



Runner style game where you, the Shaman, lead your tribe across various landscapes to survive. For some reason this tribe never though to settle down anywhere and is continually on the move. The controls couldn't be any simpler, use the left and right mouse buttons to split your group into smaller groups and recombine them to rundown more 'lanes' and tackle more obstacles.

Your Shaman controls the tribe and as he runs longer he gets more abilites starting with an empty hand to gather berries, spears to kill animals for food and fire to see in the dark and scare away viscous animals. If your Shaman dies on a run a new one is elected but you have to start from scratch ability wise. Food is massively important in the game, if you run out members of the tribe start dying and if you run out of tribesman game over, and the last two abilities allow you sacrifice tribesman to lessen the rate of food usage or convert excess food to add to the tribes numbers.

Great little game.



Swap hexagonal tiles to make a path from the power source to the receiver. You can't just swap any old tile, your active paths must be touching the ones you swap, sometimes even twice. This means the quickest way might look like the easiest but that might limit your choices you have for tiles. Heaps of levels and it will probably take a while but great so far.

A new 2D platformer is releasing soon on Steam titled Shu

Hope it's good as I'm pretty interested in getting it.
 
Whatever bad things I said about Grim Dawn, I take back. They've made a lot of smart improvements to the ARPG formula... and with the right build, I finally understand.

It's really fun, y'all. Believe it!

Aragami Review Thread is up
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?p=218997800

Seems about OK as far as review scores go, but it reminded me that I need to play Mark of the Ninja already.

It's interesting and I've put it on my wishlist, but it's fishy how the gameplay trailers and screenshots mostly show a single level. Definitely need to wait for user review impressions to know how much actual content there is to the game or it could turn out to be like that recently released indie co-op roguelike game.
 
Enjoy:

Can someone please help me remember a title of a game I saw on Steam last year? Here's all the info I remember:

I believe it was a Half Life 2 mod or based on the source engine.
It's first person.
You're a earthquake or natural disaster inspector or something similar.
Main gameplay is exploring an old facility and photographing or marking areas of damage that need to be repaired.
I don't believe there's any enemies.

Anyone know what game I'm talking about?

I was about to post something very similar.

I still think it's basically the same divergence of opinions as with "curation" in general. What others might perceive as "cherry-picking" I call exercising your own judgement, and what an absence of high barriers of entry allows you to do is select from a larger set. Conversely, curation and restrictions prevent you from making some choices -- those might well be mostly "bad" choices, but there might also be a few among them that you want to make. And then you are left without options.

My mouse is starting to do things it's not supposed to do, it registers double clicks on single click and scrolling down with scroll wheel also scrolls up

What mouse do you guys recommend? I am using Steelseries Sensei

I also use a Sensei and can confirm that the mouse wheel is made of actual garbage. Trying to edit video without a mouse wheel is torture.

I got the Logitech G303 as an impulse buy during a Best Buy sale. Probably a little small for some but I like it.

Exact symptoms my Sensei had. I'm getting Logitech G403 myself next, seems good and has the best sensor on market.

Any opinions on Steelseries Rival 100? I am not really looking into a too expensive mouse. I rarely play games with a mouse anyway
