wonder if Stump is any closer to implementing more raffle timers in modbot. I need 1 hour raffles bad, that is by far the sweet spot for me (15mins seems too short, 3 hours too long and 24hours only serve to fuel Satan's power)

Indeed. It had the basis for a truly refreshing approach to what an antagonist to "the people" can actually be (and achieves it to some degree), but is watered down by typical video game fare. I enjoyed the game, but it has hammer-feathered elements that cripple the story. Similar ideas weaken the potential of 2 and Infinite's stories as well. If only any of the Bioshock games kept along that fine line without ending at the whole "Good vs. Evil in a Battle of Titans!" affair, we could've had some really great works on our hands. On Bioshock Infinite,
while it technically does away with this, it brings in another swathe of issues regarding immature focus on societal themes that weaken how it presents its story. It briskly taps upon important subplots and never creates a powerful basis for its setting as did Rapture before it.
Well, thanks for dungeon defenders nonetheless
. One of my friends told me it's fun so hopefully I'll get to play it with him soon.KevMan1815

Anyone who thinks Gone Home is even the slightest bit interesting should buy it.
*It's cheap.
*It's not very difficult or long, so it won't affect your backlog as long as just try it.
*It's most likely not like anything you already own.
*And a lof of people really like it.
There's no reason at all to care about user reviews about that game. The score there is just a result of people being silly.

Sweet! He'll be a total hit with the ladies, btw. This name slays dragons with its utter cuteness.
Yes
No
HM is legit, though, so you get brownie points.
You drive a hard bargain, sir. Fine! Have at it, ye gentlemen. It's not the best game in the world (or so I've heard), but it's...idk.

Thanks. This worked.

Does it hold up well? I'd grab it, but I've got some other games higher up that i'm waiting for dailies on.
WHAAAAT!!!! I won two games in like 30 minutes?!! Should I go and buy a lottery ticket? This is insane! Of course, this means I need to give back somehow now. Will probably do a lottery later tonight or tomorrow.
Anyways, you're a saint Eusis! I just sent you an electronic kiss, so make sure to stick your cheek to the monitor to receive it.

My first playthrough of this game was March of last year, and I would say overall it holds up well.
Eh, not really. Day Z and Prison Architect also got a sale. PA is awesome too, so I don't think it has anything to do with quality.
Aw jeez, I'm locked out of the market. :X Hopefully I can get all of them by the end of the sale so they don't go to waste!
Nahh, I agree with you on that. That's why I made my DS2 giveaway 24 hours. Also posting again for people who missed it.

Speaking of Revengeance, which is the better DLC to start off with? Blade Wolf or Jet Stream Sam?

There's as much of a reason as there is to care about them as any other games user reviews.

Absolutely.
I played it for the first time a year ago and thought it looked fine. It's very consistent in how it looks, which is solid.
Game play is very solid as well, aside from the combat. It's noticeably weak.
I'm of two minds about that. Assuming a developer is upfront about their pricing strategy (which they have to be these days), I'm perfectly okay with full-price Early Access games being discounted, but don't agree with Early Access games that are set to rise in price going on sale while cheaper (Betrayer and Kenshi come to mind). I honestly feel that, going forward, games that are cheaper during Early Access should be prevented from being discounted until they've reached their final price (and a cooldown period wouldn't go astray either, so as to prevent developers discounting immediately thereafter).
Metroidvania
People called Romanes they go the house?
With the unofficial patch it does so quite well.
Just make sure you don't totally neglect at least one combat discipline and you'll be set.

I'll be honest and say the combat is pretty bad, but it doesn't become that notable late game. Everything else is great, amazing writing, updgrades and sidequests.
I'm actually really interested in the game, but feel like I'm better off waiting. I just don't have time to replay games as they get updated anymore
Same reason I'm holding off on Prison Architect and haven't played Starbound yet.

You should stop reading this thread and go play Starbound.
They're both a bit different, Blade Wolf has some stealth and platforming sections so play that if you want a change of pace, Jet Stream Sam was the better DLC with a heavier focus on combat than Blade Wolf.
No problem (though that's more lucky to find it quickly enough rather than just win the raffle.)
ANYWAYS, DO OVER FOR GIANA SISTERS:

Don't you need to download some mod or something though to get it to work on modern PC's?

Okay, wtf. I modified my FOV in Metro LL and my FPS dropped to 9. Default FOV i can run it at 60fps. I guess I'm playing it with low FOV.
EDIT: NVM Nvidia Physx on my default was killing my framerate.

I'd ump in the Dark Souls II raffle but I know my comp cant handle it -_-

Being apart of the PA alpha has been a joy, honestly. I've been playing it for a while and every time I come back to it after a couple months there is a bunch of cool new additions and fixes. The monthly alpha update videos the devs produce are something I look forward to at the beginning of every month.
As much as I liked Infinite, I also had problems with it. And I guess how they dealt with (BIOSHOCK INFINITE SPOILERS)
the Vox Populi is one of them. By the end they were a poorly handed example of "he who fights monsters". I mean, yes, revolutions can be bloody but HOW they made the Vox violent cannon fodder seems a bit... I dunno, contradictory? with all the racial tension message they were seemingly trying to create
That and the fact that Rapture is a better setting, IMHO. I love Art Deco - I think BS was the game that "turned" me onto Art Deco, to be honest.

Story wise it's not important which one you play first. But Sam plays more similar to Raiden than Blade Wolf so I would start with Jet Stream Sam first.

I think the timeline goes Sam>Blade Wolf>Main game, if that's important to you.

I would say less no, considering how silly the discussion about the game most often is, and they're even less relevant now that the game costs $3 for the moment. Considering all the junk people are buying during the sales, why not take a chance on a game where the developers at least have tried to make something different and meaningful. If you don't like it, you don't like it, and you move on.
It's not a game that everyone will like, but no game ever is.
Spent about a hour playing Bound by Flame. I was still in tutorial mode when I stopped playing but I had a better time with it than I was expecting.
Combat didn't feel as brainless as some opinions I had read led me to think, with the two fighting styles, one slower but stronger and the other quicker but with weaker hits.
It's also not a bad looking (not a looker either, but I dig the style), although the model for the female main character is pretty off-putting, especially because of the really limited customization with 5 faces and 6 type of hair. The hair styles especially are quite ugly. Her voice is also on the annoying side and even though I changed the default name, people kept calling me Vulcan, not only in the subs but in the spoken dialogue too.
Yet I had fun, especially once I got to the second fighting style, which is more to my liking with it being a quicker type with the double daggers.

Option 1 since you brag about M&M money

Option 1 is more democratic. It also involves games I'm interested in but haven't played, whereas Tomb Raider I'm just not interested in. ($4.99 game might be something I really like though, I admit.)

haven't played Wolf, but the Tomb Raider reboot is a pretty fun (and pretty) game that is quite shallow. A bit of spectacular mindless fun that is light on actual "tomb raiding" and compelling characters but than can keep you entertained for quite a few hours. If you loved the previous TR, I don't think (I might be wrong) this is the game for you, though.
