Am sitting on a Dark Souls gift because I can't figure out this fucking Modbot system. The OP is confusing me. Do i need to send a PM to modbot with my "receive your gift" link first, and then keys are sent to me so I can write the "register" PM to modbot? Or does the "receive your gift" link get entered in the "register" PM in place of the keys? God damn I feel stupid right now. This is what I get for doing this for the first time while at work.

Theres a separate procedure if you want to send modbot something that's listed as a gift in your inventory.

Basically.. send the gift to yourself via email from within steam.

You'll get an email with a url link. You don't need anything after the ? part of the link.

Send a PM to modbot with a topic saying "register" and list the game and the url

It'll send you a reply back that you cut and paste into the thread.

Hope this helps, if you need help, let me know.

A bigger crime is MW3 still being $20 during a sale.

This makes me mad... I was planning on getting it in this sale. Not anymore.

 

[daoster]

Didn't get XCOM DLC at the Flash Sale, so buying it all now!

Is Risen 2 any good?

 

[Finaika]

Is Resident Evil 6 worth it?

 

[kurtrussell]

I'd read up on the developers and then thing again about giving them money.

People were quite willing to give money to Phil Fish, and he basically shit all over the indie community (not the Japanese stuff - read about the IGF crap he was involved in)

I don't see much difference tbh.

 

[xtop]

As I said, I love this game. Very difficult to beat. Very rewarding though when you do. Such is the case with Rogue-likes (or fake rogue-likes, whatever)



Thanks modbot for putting them in reverse order =P

thanks so much! i needed another game i could play on my mac during work that wasn't too intensive. can't wait to play

 

[lupinko]

Ok I'm done unless Bioshock Infinite becomes $10-$15 which I doubt.

 

[Stimpack]

This is a Humble Bundle but worth a post in here. Fifteen Spiderweb RPGs, all with Steam keys:

https://www.humblebundle.com/weekly

There are only 15 mins left so if you want it, better jump on it quickly. Fun turn-based combat, good character writing, inventive world-building, and great exploration are what these games are generally known for. What usually turns people off are the low-fidelity visuals, but if you can get past that, it's well-worth the experience.

I've played a good amount of isometric RPGs in my time, but I never got around to anything from Spiderweb. Where would you suggest I start digging into their content?

 

[need4speed]

Slight correction: Avernum: The First Trilogy isn't on Steam.

So I'm gonna pay 5 bucks for a game that can't activated on steam? fuck that.

The guys were giving out misinformation the game, banning guys from their forums among other things.

I thinks there's a BIG difference.

EDIT: STUmp above is correct.

Except his game is actually good.

 

[BigTnaples]

Really debating Dark Souls.


Never played either of the games, hear great things, my only concern is it is getting close to next gen, and once that passes, the likelihood of me completing my 4000+ hour backlog dwindles even more.


That said, I feel as if I am missing out on a phenomenon of sorts, and its only 8 bucks.

 

[nexen]

Fez is so good, I kinda don't care if Phil Fish is a dick or not.
Game is sublime.

I have no opinion on WarZ, except they were treating their customers poorly, not just pissing on other devs.

 

[DaBoss]

Just seen the new thread title lol

Wow, I didn't know this. I knew the guy was kind of an ass and he pissed me off with is comment about Japanese games, but I wasn't aware that he actually shit all over the indie community. Glad I didn't give him money then.

Thanks a lot!

Watching the quicklook now... you have piqued my interest

Haven't you bought the game yet?

On an unrelated note, Deadly Premonition is in the Steam Greenlight section!!!!!

 

[Rflagg]

Watching euro truck quick look, game is tempting me.

Damage so far this sale Sleeping Dogs and Alan Wake franchise.

 

[YianGaruga]

First giveaway of many

Thanks for Death and the Fly! I remember looking at this during the last Steam sale but completely fogot about it. Looks absolutely crazy.

 

[liezryou]

So does anyone have any interest in interstellar marines (15$ on steam, hasn't been on sale yet). Before i trade it away, i shall ask any gaffer if he wants it for the low price of 10$ (paypal or steam wallet, either one works for me).

Go to your inventory, click on the item, select send gift, enter your email.

Then follow this guide

When you receive the email, scroll to the bottom. There will be a section titled, 'To receive your gift:' and a url below it.

Enter that URL in a PM to modbot in this fashion.

Game Name - https://store.steampowered.com/account/ackgift/A010G4A0EF24336F

The full code will look like https://store.steampowered.com/account/ackgift/A010G4A0EF24336F?redeemer=YOUREMAIL%40gmail.com
Delete the question mark and everything after it in the PM to Modbot.

Damn Worms still not on daily/flash.

Thank you Neoenigma! My first win of the summer sale!

 

[dave is ok]

I gifted Infestation, Magic Crystals and Bad Ratz all to my fiances nephew this sale. That's like hitting for the cycle in baseball

 

[Torraz]

How is Risen 2? The metascore is worse than the first one...

Is this you Canadians sticking together?

The fact that he voted against his fellow indie developers, whom let's be honest, were pretty much living hand to mouth at the time, and barred them from the IGF awards because of an XBLA deal, and then went ahead and submitted his own game for the awards after agreeing an XBLA deal seems pretty unethical to me and a few levels beyond just being an "asshole".

Essentially: I'm an asshole. A huge asshole. But I can at least be secure in the knowledge that I'm a better person than Mr Fish.

In kurtrussell's world you can do whatever you want as long as your name isn't Phil Fish.

You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.

oh sorry i thought you actually wanted an answer to how they were different, instead you just wanted to remind everyone how you feel about something you don't like

It is absolutely worth it. It isn't for everybody but if you it is, you'll enjoy it and you'll have Demon's Souls to catch up on. I'd advise playing it blind if possible but even with next-gen looming, I am almost certain it will hold up mechanically.

Ok I'm done unless Bioshock Infinite becomes $10-$15 which I doubt.

As we've seen it on sale already for €30 (I believe, I can't remember the exact cost so for that I apologise, maybe it was €25) it won't go that low on Steam at the very least. Somewhere else may have it that low but the probability of such is marginal.

 

[liezryou]

Cannot vote for Unreal in Germany.

Go to http://store.steampowered.com/?cc=us and vote for it. Then when it wins have a GAFfer gift it to you.

 

[JaseC]

Voted CSGO, more people need to jump in, best online fps out there at the moment.

That would be 1.6.

 

[cicero]

I totally forgot to buy the Groupees Build A Greenlight 3 Bundle. I blame the Summer Sale.

Tsk, tsk, tsk. I don't think I would feel that secure if I were you. Morally, maybe.

 

[phantomspiker]

Holy shit.

I'm greenlighting the hell out of that.

 

[Tellaerin]

You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.

You know him personally, Zia? Serious question, since you seem to be one of his staunchest defenders around these parts.

 

[Rawket Lawnchair]

Is Magic Crystals really that bad? It looks like a neat little game at first glance.

 

[Nymphae]

[DirtyLary]

thoughts on War z?

Don't fund this scamming dev.

 

[The Broken Ska Record]

Rocksmith is never gonna be a Daily/Flash.

 

[Zeliard]

Slight correction: Avernum: The First Trilogy isn't on Steam.

Ah didn't notice that, sorry.

I've played a good amount of isometric RPGs in my time, but I never got around to anything from Spiderweb. Where would you suggest I start digging into their content?

I would say their most approachable game is probably either Avernum: Escape from the Pit or Avadon: The Black Fortress. And of those two, Avadon is probably the most accessible as it is the more linear experience. I'd pick either one based on how much you enjoy open-ended exploration and gameplay.

 

[Divius]

Thanks for the help everyone! Enjoy!

Great giveaway, thank you.
