Interesting. If it's fixable, I might buy the 3+4 bundle on the last day then.
It was in Humble Bundle 9.

My list continues to grow! Oh man, where do I even start playing?
Thank you so much!!
yes
Really? I've eyed this game a few times, but the negative reviews (yes, from the Steam thumbs thing; sorry if that was ignorant of me) pushed me away, since I still had a bunch of games similar to it to play. Maybe I should give it a second look.
Wow, now I feel stupid.
Edit: Wait, the user score kinda sucks. I assume it's one of those polarizing games where you either love it or hate it?
Why yes, yes you should.

It wasn't sub 10$ on GOG, so... I wouldn't hold my breath.

Did they actually tease it? I thought they just filed for a trademark.

I don't remember it happening during this sale but it happened quite a bit in the last couple of sales. I wouldn't be surprised to see many of the losers actually get a flash/daily later this week.
dont worry, we have already seen 75% of the deals thanks to flash and community votes
short answer: yes. Long answer: absolutely.
if you buy it, make sure you use a controller and download Durante's DS Fix to... fix the barebones port's shortcomings

Yeah, right? I look away for 5 minutes...I just missed a Dark Souls 2 giveaway....
I missed that bundle, sadly. It was during the dark times when I shunned my PC because I figured console gaming was better and was all I needed.

Haha, my exact face just now.
It wasn't a tease per se. Fox owns the games themselves; the question that has plagued the possibility of a digital re-release is who owns the trademarks. Night Dive's filing will either force the existing owner to come out of the woodwork or ultimately award the trademarks to Night Dive itself, the latter looking more and more likely as time goes on, however the ball won't start rolling until August.

Really? That's the reason for its low score? Ugh...
not to tell anyone how to giveaway games (because it was afterall a great giveaway), but a Dark Souls 2 (or a game of its calibre) giveaway without at least a short 15min raffle doesnt seem like the best idea, for future reference. At least give peeps a chance to enter, and not just "blink and you missed it". seems like something more suited for bundle games which isnt a big deal if you missed them or not
then again I hate those twitter giveaways and whatnot so /shrug

That and non-game.
I'd really like to see the review numbers for that one. It just seems sort of crazy to have THAT extreme of a downvote. You'd think otherwise it'd just be something like 50% downvotes, not an outright inversion of other "non-games."

I just went to the bathroom...

Thanos acquires the fully powered Infinity Gauntlet in The Avengers: Infinity War, but loses when all the superheroes team up together to stop him.
My gamepad refuses to work properly with most games. I might have to suck it up and try to configure my DualShock 3 to work with my PC somehow, although last time I tried that I got too confused and quit.
Sleeping Dogs and Fallout were definitely a steal at $5. Never would have tried them otherwise.

It's a fantastic experience. For some people, calling it a game might be going a bit to far, but I love narrative driven stuff and on that merit alone it was superb.

That wasn't why it was rated a low score. It was rated a low score because people were mad everyone was giving it GAME of the year and even if you want to consider it a game when it's not actually one it should definitely not be game of the year. Even people who liked it have been agreeing with that.
Ok, I think I'm done with giveaways. Dark Souls sucked my life away and now, here I come DSII! As with tradition for the past few pages, I will name a child after you.
Thank you!

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.
So I'm working on getting Enhanced Steam up to snuff on the new API restrictions that Valve put in place to combat it. And while I understand their need to keep their API servers from being overloaded, it now takes over 3 minutes to highlight and tag everything correctly on the home page (for example). For those of you that used to it scan the entire store (empty search) it could potentially now take hours to process everything.
The requests are cached by your browser, so I'm also working on extending that cache - but the longer the values are cached, the higher the likelihood of them being wrong is. For example, if you purchase something off your wishlist, it will now be over an hour before Enhanced Steam changes the highlighting from "wishlisted" to "owned".
I suppose all I can do is make it conform with Valve's rules, and as much as I hate doing so, if people don't like it I can point the finger at Valve and tell them to contact Valve with their concerns. But, kinda sucks.

Metro LL doesn't have a FOV slider. Dammit.

Yeah 4chan got angry because it was a walking simulator first and foremost and the whole lesbian thing but played up as "art" and "deep" and the pretentiousness surrounding it set off a ton of alarm bells with them.

Very interesting, thanks dude!
Gone Home is excellent, but it's an interactive adventure and not much of a game. Treat it like a 90's house exploration simulator and you're good. That sounds pretty lame, but it's well done, and the story is sweet and presented in such a way that makes things interesting.
Why? Lesbians are hot!
Nobody jump on me now, I'm just kidding.
Anyways, I'm glad that I cleared up the incorrect misconception I had that this game was bad. I usually take a quick look at Steam reviews to see if a game is worth playing, but that no longer seems to be a good idea.
Will do when I get around to getting it. I actually really like these kinda games.
Haha I went to go make a Sandwich after having a long Dark Souls 1 session tonight and I missed it. Oh well I still have hope in Mokoi's DS2 raffle! Either way I'm gonna own the game by the time this sale ends, 33% be damned!
Alright, I meant to do this differently, but if I read right Modbot should auto fix this, and if not... Well whoops.
I'll note the Dungeon Defenders one is a Steam code and there's been new DLC since, but it should still be most of it.
ModBot said:Instructions for participants:

gotta save something for redux
The "not a game!!!" narrative festering this thread and Gone Home's Steam reviews just proves how hilariously off mark that one big thread we had recently on "non-games" based on a rant video was.
These games have a long way ahead of them if a large part of the community tries to actively damage their reputation. It's embarrassing and disappointing.

Also I can't remember the details but there were some shady details about people giving it high scores being great friends with the developers or working with them in the past or some other type of nepotism which seemed pretty well founded.
