I guess that you can never have two many copies of the game... that's number five for me.

Contrary to the Steam community posts, it appears that Tiny Echo keys have been granted to Humble Monthly July 2017 owners.
Hmm, it's not in either my keys or my library. :/

In the strongest possible sense, Sonic Mania's final boss can f*ck off.

Damn, Ys SEVEN has only sold ~2600 copies..
Is there some reason why this would drop off so drastically from the other entries in the series?

maybe YS 8 being really really close to it
This sounds great. I guess I can do with the normal edition. I'll look into that, and thanks for that link to the pop filter hood. I had found one but a hood seems more useful.
So guys, I just started up my Let's Play of Resident Evil 7 (have mercy on me, I don't know how I'm gonna play through this entire thing but I'm just gonna do it!), and I got a very strange problem. When people talk, the voices don't actually match the mouth movement and subtitles, why is this? Do I have to change some specific settings to fix this?

Yeah I'm going to be buying this.
It was kind of expensive and doesn't have the best reputation. I still got it just to support XSEED.
Personally not a big fan of party Ys games. I'm way more excited for Zweii II than I am for Ys VIII, heh. Might just be the last mid 2000s "classic" Falcom game we get in quite some time.

My mistake.
guys please please please don't sleep on Darkwood. It's amazing.
Absolver isn't. I find matchs pretty quickly

Tbf Zwei II is more late 2000s, i think it was their last game they developed for PC themselves
I think the only game we're really missing from that time is something called RINNE which I don't know much at all
I'd love to see their earlier stuff too

So, someone at gaming side revived a post from a year ago, and I just found that someone was very angry at me a year ago because I said a certain game looked impressive, but boring.
Thanks for saving me from gaming side, SteamGaf!

Yeah but I feel they changed when they went to become exclusive Playstation developers. Thus Zweii II is their last "classic" game for me.
thats a shame. I know you can tell a game to install on your PC via the phone app..wonder if updates are shown there...
down to try that mirage game though! hopefully it gets a nice boost in players.
Syberia 3 lack of success is certainly well earned. What a mess of a game, makes the previous two games look like timeless masterpieces in comparison. It looks nicer, sure, but the bad image quality makes it hard to appreciate, and it has terrible frame-pacing issues (thanks to (not working around) Unity Engine). The voice acting is just comically bad, I mean, you could at least try to give these Russians some hint of an accent. But nope, perfect generic American accent.
Then there is the horrible animation, where no movement, outside the cutscenes, has buildup or wind down, meaning Kate moves around like a lifeless roboter, pardon me, automaton. The writing has regressed, from simple and cheesy to shitty 90s Saturday morning cartoon. As for the plot,
The only redeeming thing is Inon Zur brilliant soundtrack, that seems utterly wasted on this.
No idea what Sokal was trying to achieve, and how it could release in such a state. I guess he doesn't actually play his games, so why not just let Syberia 2 be? I guess some men just want to see the world burn.

I don't even get why Kate isn't just leaving everything and just living anywhere else. I guess so far her motivations make sense, wanting to escape this lunatic asylum, but the game is clearly implying that she will accompany the Youkols. She was dealing with a lot of stuff when she going on the journey with Hans Vorarlberg, clearly a form of escapism. Shouldn't she be kinda over it by now?

It's full price on PS4 so probably will be here too
Although the PC version is through Spike Chunsoft, not NISA so who knows
The fairly late ports were $30 so $60 for a new game isn't a stretch

Really so sad to hear bad things about Syberia 3. :/ You know, i started first and second game after they announced third game, and than this... Fuck.
finished LiS before the storm ep 1
game focused a lot more on characterization but lost the mysteries from the first game, the characters are decent, and Chloe honestly is more interesting to play as if you like the whole teenage years growing up perspective, since she's much more rebellious and destructive, and both Rachel and her are similar so you also learn more about those 2 characters while having fun with the choices.
also i think the cutscenes are really well directed (compared to LiS that is, even it's still low budget), there were quite a few scenes that look pretty as hell, and the atmosphere was good, if you like that sorta of stuff it's nice

It's fantastic. Perfect game if you're in need of a laugh.

Oh my, yes.
That's my impressions so far. I briefly considered to refund it, but I think I will stick with it just for nostalgia's sake. And the few moments, where the music flares up are really nice, as before.

I don't like the PSP graphics and aesthetics. I'm fine with the usual YS aesthetics, it fits the franchise. But YS Seven is just ugly. Also it's too close to YS VIII.
Wow, that's like half the USD price for me.
Now I'm torn, should I buy both YS VIII and Divinity OS 2?

Possibly stupid question. I'm new to Humble Monthly, so I'm looking at using the discount to buy games for Steam for a bit cheaper. If I were to preorder a game on the Humble store, do I still get the preorder bonuses when I redeem it on Steam?

Generally you do since Humble is a legit seller, but always worth checking the game's Humble Store page just in case.
Worth dropping them a tweet @humblesupport if it's unclear, they usually DM me an answer after an hour or two.
Is there a way to just have Steam completely and totally ignore all gamepads?
This is just so unimaginably annoying. All I want is to use my DS4Windows profile, then charge via USB when I get low on battery. But every time I plug in my controller, Steam hijacks it and then I get double inputs, all kinds of chaos, etc. I have to close it, restart my computer, and reinstall the DS4 via Bluetooth.
I've already got it set to Hide Dualshock 4, etc, on DS4Windows.
I'd be happy to use Steam's native Dualshock 4 support if it wasn't awful. For some reason it enables some hypersensitive gyro in Dark Souls III, and other weird shit like R3 not working in GTAV. Wish Valve could just like.... make things work or let me opt out of their forced features like this. The whole "plug and play" support Steam pretends to have for gamepads is half baked and terrible.

It is unchecked, I have told it not to support Dualshock 4 or any other controllers.
It's 100% a Steam problem. Anything from GOG or any other clients works completely fine with DS4Windows. Basically, I can play via Bluetooth, run low on battery, plug it into my case, charge it, and the unplug it seamlessly. Essentially just like you can do on a PS4.
Steam's native controller "support" just hijacks it as a generic xinput device and then I get doubled inputs and other weird stuff like.... gyro camera (!?) on Dark Souls III. Then when I unplug it, it's no longer recognized by Bluetooth and has to be uninstalled / reinstalled.
Does anyone have a similar problem, or a solution?

Weird. I had an issue with DS4Windows (an older version since one of the newer versions caused me other problems) where on certain occassions upon plugging it into the USB port to charge/play then unattaching it to continue using Bluetooth it would disconnect and I'd need to re-pair it. Never considered it might be something Steam related but I didn't get the double inputs or gyro problems you had so it's probably unrelated.
I ended up just charging the controller via the wall rather than the computer so as to not change the controller from BT to USB input and always stay on Bluetooth. Someone here suggested it as they do the same. Been what I've used ever since.

It's almost as if SteamGAFfers have more than one opinion or something.
So, that Sakura bundle...
Tempted by the $10 tier, but Steam reviews are mostly focused on "Anime bewbs!", so I'll ask here:
Are the games worth it to play, or are they just soft-porn, and money is better spent either on better games, or better porn?
Edit:
Oh! Also, for region locked games, the thing I have to look for is the run-lock, right? "Only Allow Run in Countries", or something? If it's just purchase-locked, I can play it wherever, and it's just to ensure people can't game the cheaper prices, right?
