Depends on whether you're going to play it right now or not.

I bought it and I think it's pretty good. I like it more than Bastion. I wasn't a big Bastion fan, though, and I like RPGs a lot (Transistor is more RPG-like than Bastion).

I probably won't play it right now. So yeah waiting might be better. I didn't like Bastion that much either but I played Transistor a bit at a friend's house and it was good to me. gorgeous soundtrack.

Here's an extra. I've heard good things about this game. Despite its fanservice-y outer shell, it's supposed to be a pretty solid platformer.

It's different. The largest similarity is the dynamic narration.

It's a semi real time tactical RPG. Bastion was pure action. Combat is completely different. RPG mechanics are different. Character building is different. Controls are different.

I'm looking at the Legacy of Kain pack at the moment at 4 dollars, but I'm reading bad things about the port. I can probably get around the controller issues, but the freezing looks like a big problem. I got burned on the Jet Set Radio port earlier where I can't load saved games properly, so I'd like some help with this if there are any fixes.

I'm assuming its pretty much like bastion. while bastion was an alright game, its not worth anything more than $5 imo, gets boring like midway though, plus its short. I'm gonna wait it out. who knows, maybe when I'm finally ready for it it'll be included in a humble bundle.
Click to expand...
yea pretty much

i actually liked bastion better

It's better than most.

i wouldn't rush to buy it tho

it's got a lot of style but i thought the gameplay wasn't enjoyable in either real time or "pause mode" and the murkiness of the story was both a strength and a weakness

Any major issues with RE4 PC port before I buy?

Native res looks a bit soft (likely the same setup as how the Wii handled resolution) but that can be fixed by downsampling. I had no other issues but some people have complained about QTE timing even post patch in specific events.

Let's say that I wanted to buy Dead Space 2 from Steam, which seems to be blocked in Germany. What would be the easiest to do so?

Grabbed the other groupees bundle for Attack of the Mutant Colossus.
It looks gloriously trashy.

EDIT: Mutant Colossus from Outer Space. Whatever.

I'm irritated that it isn't on steam. It's a perfect confluence of bad ideas and realization of said ideas that it is kinda amazing.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
I guess that $0.89 price on The Moon Sliver was a pricing error.

It's back to $2.39 / 20% off.

Apparently, The Moon Sliver is now 70% off as part of the Halloween sale. I did not intend for it to be discounted that much, as it kind of screws over anyone who purchased the game prior to this. Either there was a miscommunication between me and Valve, or someone just made a mistake. Either way, I apologize to anyone who bought the game over the last few days and feels cheated, and I'll be contacting Valve to see what's going on.

Wasn't one of AC designers talking recently about how they didn't want to go to Feudal Era Japan because that setting had been used too often?

Also, you should get Transistor now. It's fantastic.
Click to expand...

They've been saying that for years, actually. Although, to be fair, that was back when they were only doing one game a year. If they continue to do two per year, I could see them bending on fan pressure a little more. And stuff like this gives them opportunities to at least touch on additional settings in a game.

Ok, be honest guys... is Amnesia really THAT scary? I always hear people saying it's one of the scariest games they've ever played, but I feel like it might just be one of those games that people exaggerate about.

OK, really didn't like the new KRZ short, you just listen to random voicemail messages on a phone =/

Least the last one really felt like it had something.

Exaggerated maybe, but it is still pretty damn good. At least the original was.

Unfortunately a lot of the games inspired by it missed the point entirely.

It's scary, but becomes irritating/confusing/hard to navigate very quickly, at least for me.
