Rogue Legacy is more Roguelike than Metroidvania. You're unlocking new abilities and that though so it's got those elements, but there's not so much backtracking as there is repeatedly exploring randomly generated castles, there's no savepoints and it's permadeath. It's still great though.

You had me at randomly generated castles. I've heard decent things about this game (on the Giant Bombcast, I believe) I'm just waiting for it to go down in price. It's like somebody made this game for me.

Got the Deus Ex pack and decided to install Human Revolution because i haven't played it since i got it on PS3 when it launched and i was wondering if it's possible to remove the god awful gold tint.

Is Monaco worth it if I don't play with people because I'm an antisocial fuck?

Stealth edit: goes without saying I'd wait for a daily or whatever.

Played some Surgeon Simulator, the first mission was surprisingly easy. Tried some of that Team Fortress 2 thing too but couldn't get it to finish. Worst part of the game is that my laptop gets super crazy and it's hard to press hot A, W,E,R keys :p

Jesus christ guys, I was only gone for like 8 hours. A whole new thread and already giant? And I missed the spiders? Booo.

I need help though: what is the word on Carrier Command: Gaea Mission? I'm really close to pulling the trigger on it. I know there is a demo but I'm at work and there IS NO TIME.

If that is what the creators of Dear Esther were trying to accomplish than I can't say they missed the mark. Obviously once we start digging into this kind of game it becomes much more subjectively enjoyable than normal because of the disconnected nature of the narrative and gameplay. As far as getting any visual feedback adding to the narrative, I must have missed that part because while the island certain felt connected to the story, it didn't feel like it was a part of how the creator wanted to TELL the story.

Maybe my expectations going into the game were wrong, but the only emotion it was able to evoke out of me was eyerolling. Unfortunately it's such a short experience that there was never enough time for it to change my mind before I stopped playing (without 'finishing'). Even with the revelations of it as an 'art installation' type of game, the writing was still completely unenjoyable for me. So without being able to build interest in me through either visual or audio, there was no incentive for me to try and dig any deeper meaning out of the game as I couldn't stop just being annoyed every time the narrator came back into the game for another round of ridiculous prose.

To me it was more of a painting with commentary. The island itself isn't really what the narrator is referring to, but more of a way of showing what happened.
I loved the fact that you could get so lost in the way the story unfolded on that beautiful island, which (I think) has been modified in the Narrator's own mind.

It's like one of those short literary stories, which seem quite odd and weird at first, but get better the more you start to understand.

And even though it wasn't at all scary, it still gave me quite a thrill and goosebumps whenever he started talking about the past. Especially the cave part was quite something

If this was my normal buy anything 9.99 and under sale I would have picked this up already. I've heard mixed reviews but the premise sounds really neat.

Earlier this year, Amazon had a deal where if you bought Age of Empires III Complete Collection for $9, you would get a $5 credit towards Age of Empires II HD.

When Amazon was running a deal for AOE II HD for $10, I only had to pay $5.

I bought the physical AoE3 complete edition for $40 a couple years ago. I have no idea what possessed me to do that. I haven't even played the damn game.

Ditto. How is Monaco as a singleplayer game?

RE: Dear Esther; I don't think it's really all that hard to understand. Relax, don't immediately say "it must be pretentious if I didn't get it right away". Don't say "I'm smart and so the emperor must have no clothes". Try to understand. And don't think of it as a story with a neat beginning, middle, and end--think of it as a sculpture or art installation or painting or something; it's not about narrative, it's about visual and audio form, themes expressed (and then contradicted), how you feel about each individual part

I previously wrote this post on the experience in response to someone who claimed "they didn't get anything out of Dear Esther":

This is the stuff that should be rattling around your head if you got the most out of the experience.

I liked Dear Esther, but it's not a game. So I Bought it thinking it was a game but it wasn't.
Also I don't think the experience is pretentious at all, it allows you to think and enjoy the immersion but that's it. I'll take a book any day over Dear Esther.

I just copy the game folder from common and paste it into my external and when i am ready to put it back on my PC i just copy and paste it in the steam/apps/common folder and install.

Easy peasy.

Also, steam has it's own import/export feature. I use it to move games that I am not currently playing off my SSD to my dump drive(3 TB).

$20 then? $30 is too much for some (rather) old games, despite their quality. I wouldn't want to be in that situation.
Click to expand...
$50 has been it's cheapest :/

And now I really want that deal, need an excuse to buy Starfighter, lol
