Currently playing Thief Gold, and man for a game that is 15 years old, it holds up really well! Is already faaar more interesting than Thiaf
OG Thief still holds up really well.
Some of the maps are kind of a pain, which got streamlined in the sequel, but man...
Yeah, PLGaf represents.
Hexcell Infinite will get even harder, I'm in World 4 and I'm really getting problems, and I perfected Hexcells 1 and 2
EDIT: Great to see so many Hexcells-Fans =) If I wasn't a Junior Member I would even make a thread about the series
Yeah, I've never heard of Martina Hill =/

"It's a long way down". I loved that actor's delivery, and I can't wait till I play through Metal Age.
YOUR OPs WERE ALWAYS RELEVANT AND INTERESTING <3

Huh, I always wondered, do achievements you unlock on GFWL carry over to Steamworks? Never played any GFWL games, so I don't know.
Not usually.
Depends on the game really. Arkham City and Asylum carried over I believe.
I really hope Dark Souls does it too when it gets steamworked.

i think i will buy the three Ys games that are avaible on steam , in what order should i play them?
There are four Ys games on Steam.
I asked this exact question to y friend, and he answered me:
That's the proper order, but if you're new to the series and you want to know what to expect from all the games, the better one is 3 (there has been a lot of Ys talk on my twitter feed thanks to the Playstation Announcement and that seems to be the consensus)
Also, wait for a sale. They were part of multiple sales/humble bundles already.

Play Oath now! Most will suggest 1+2 since they are the start of the series, but if you want to be wowed right off the bat and fall instantly in love with yS, definitely start off with Oath. You will think the game is boring for like 20 minutes, then you start fighting... and the game becomes 100% more awesome
Nope.
Ys I&II, Felghana, and then Origins. BTW, The first one is very tough if you decide to play it on Nightmare.
yea. not my favorite moment in the game for sureYep. Especially if you choose the paths that seem like bad ideas in general on a second or third playthrough just to see how creepy things can get, like (Heavy Rain spoilers).taking a drink from a creepy doctor and ending up drugged, tied down on an operating table, and about to be brutally murdered with a drill for reasons
Well, at least I'm not the only one that uses that example
maybe it's negative bias but i feel like i'm constantly being sexually assaulted in his games whenever the main character's female
one step ahead of ya bitch
i didn't bother buying last light
I did. I'm positive I missed like half the badges though, so my lanyard is pretty lonely.
Only played titan souls (no luck with the yeti) and won my 4 player game of n++.
Yeah, funny that I didn't make that connection till just now!
This question isn't directly related to Steam (and I didn't think it required a new thread), but do alternative marketplaces tend to have vouchers to get discounts on games even for day 1 / pre-purchases? There's a site that keeps track of PC deals that tends to list ~20% vouchers every now and again for games on other well-known marketplaces, but it seems a little too nice to believe. Is it?
I was game.

I had a blast last weekend with the last DLC of Dark Souls 2.
Truly challenging, gorgeous areas, mean bosses and I got a nice helmet out of the whole thing.

I know was going to mention you but I wanted to make people feel guilty. It didn't work.
Probably depends on how game implements achievements (do they store that in save game and try to unlock when loaded). Could make easy to cheat to unlock on other platforms that have more secure achievements than Steam.
Ms. Splosion seems to unlock when loaded.

Gah, I have this weird relationship with stealth games. Currently playing through Dishonoured, and while I enjoy playing these types of games, I always end up being so careful when playing them, constantly quick saving and such before actually taking any risks. Same with when I played Deus Ex. Of course, since the game offers me the quick save/load feature, it's clear that I'm free to play it in this way, but I guess I can't help being a coward in these games haha.
lol that's hilarious
makes sense since you got pig shield in iron keep
i'm not liking the dlc too much but mostly again because i'm on ng+++ and everything's super hard and i'm not practiced enough

I can't wait for the game + DLC to go on sale.

Curious what GAF thinks of Dark Souls 2 relative to DS1 if I were only to play 1? I mean obviously the online for 1 is pretty dead but my friends have mentioned that it has a bit more spit and polish in terms of design.

thanks for the information , also i guess i can wait for a sale , what has been the lowest price that those games have had ???

I think you'll see most people recommend DS1 over 2, but both are worth playing.

The issue I have is everything I have played I don't really deem worthy of that title.
Transistor has been the only thing really and it would still be low level to what I consider a GOTY.
Alrighty!
here's the story....
Two of these entries are praised for their soundtrack. the other entry is Bad Rats. Are you feeling lucky?

I just use GOTY as an easy way of saying the games I've had most fun with.
Wolfenstein is one of the best experiences I've had in a long time though and I genuinely think it deserves the GOTY title.

What makes Wolfenstein TNO stand above other FPS? I'm pretty curious that you would have it so high given that it has relatively little buzz around it.

I just finished Shovel Knight. Wow, that ending was phenomenal. It's really hard picking between that and Freedom Planet as GOTY currently, but they certainly are 1-2 right now.

Wrong about commas, wrong about everything
Divinity OS is still the only game this year I would deem worthy of any sort of "of the year" title, really.
You should install Enhanced Steam and find out yourself: It answers all the questions you have for every game, as long as you browse to the game on your browser.
It says which bundles it's been a part of, what's the currently cheapest price for said game, in which store, and what was the lowest price ever.
I'm not answering your questions because I don't want to go to the games pages and just copy/paste the information to you. I thought it would be more useful to teach you how to find that information easily.
Glad you asked
1. You get to visit many different locations. It's exciting to see all the cool places the game takes you
2. The story is interesting
3. The music is awesome
4. The gunplay is really fun. Pistol headshots feel amazing
5. The pacing is good. One or two moments kinda dragged but the game made up for it
6. Lots of awesome set pieces/moments
7. Can't think of any cliches. It felt really refreshing
Generally don't get into FPS games but Wolfenstein came out of nowhere and was a really fun experience. I remember a lot of the characters and a lot of the missions and doubt I'll forget.
The best parts are how refreshing it is and all the cool areas.
Check out this GAF thread for loads more impressions.

Guess that makes sense. Wolf probably won't make my list though. Was really excited for it but didn't like it as much as I thought I would.
Nice you guys hate on folks who win big giveaways. Stay classy SteamGaf
Hey man I apologized lol. I just didn't know you since I had avatars disabled.
That's how I always recognize him. So when I didn't have that I just forgot. Ill remember now though.
