I really need to get a new monitor, trying to play CRPGs on a TV is no fun. Still trying to decide between the Asus Swift or getting the gsync'd version of their cheaper 4K monitor.

so how did the possible bad rats giveaways go?

I'm curious too haha
They are both a lot different. The Genesis graphics are pretty bad though, I doubt I could play it now. The SNES one is the one the new game is most like and would prepare you best for it as there's a lot of references and similar style.

Good thing no one's going to get it on sale! >:>
Oh well. Hey guys, some unclaimed keys:
Thanks, that's good to know about the SNES version being of similar stock.

So whens the sale actually going to end? Is tomorrow the last full day and the 30th is just the finishing up of tomorrows dailies?
I liked them both for different reasons. SNES Shadowrun was more story-driven IMO (and I enjoyed the story, so this was okay), while the Genesis game was more open and had deeper mechanics.

Well, we still have nbnt's potential trap giveaway. I don't trust that the games are what he says they are... >_>
Don't say that! I want mah RE4 and Shovel Knight...
Roughly 36.5 hours from now. The next lot of Dailies is the last.
Were you able to actually redeem the code for your prepaid? Site is down for me atm.

Seems to be tomorrow will be repeats with the 30th/sale-close being the last few hours before the store updates for the "normal" updates on the 30th.

A lot of people haven't actually played the Genesis one (it wasn't well know even back in the day), so you'll get a lot of people telling you the SNES one is better. I'll ask you what are you looking for?
The SNES one is a lot more linear with a stronger story.
The Genesis one cleaves closer to the actual Shadowrun RPG rules, and is a proto-open world game. There are some similarities with early GTA games. The story is pretty good, but nowhere near as deep.
Nah, it is showing down for me too.

Thanks. Guess it's time to pick up everything I've been waiting on tomorrow.
Yeah, I just caved and did my own 50% off by Russiabucksing it.
neogaf pls.
That's when you get Orcs Must Die 2 instead. It's $3 in the flash sale right now.

Thinking of doing this just to spite MJ for ignoring their Philip J. Fry customers.
You know something? I said Alan Wake would be the new Jack Keane back during the GOG Spring Insomnia sale. After seeing the game get so many repeats recently, it might just be worse than the Keane-ning.

I THINK what happens in the mobile game is that you hold on the screen, zoom in, then you fire off the gun and can zoom back out.
Problem I guess is they just halfassed the port and had you still zoom in, rather than making it operate more like the last game.
I feel silly being bothered by this, but I wanted to use my completely useless emoticon!
I crafted the summer badge and got a bunch of stuff, but when I looked later everything that I had received from crafting (EXCEPT the badge) was no longer in my inventory. 8 out of the 10 cards are back in my inventory, but they can't be crafted or sold. It's like they don't exist. Anyone know what's going on?

This. Orcs must die 2 is basically just better than the first one in every way as far as I could tell.

Someone is making a mod of the Genesis version on Steam workshop, but it's still in early alpha.

Oh shit, I actually won RE4! I'm ashamed to admit that I've only had limited time with the game (played it back on Gamecube), so I'm very excited to see what the HD port brings.
Thank you so much, NB!

huh I knew of the SNES mod but didn't know about the Genesis one. Nice!
Oh, it's you.
I was just going to ask who'd won the giveaway, since modbot seemingly stopped updating after doing the shovel knight bit.
sorry guys, that's i meant, omc 2. is there mp in this? steam only indicates there's coop.
Hottest debate on the internet!
Well, it's pretty contentious anyways. They're both awesome games - the SNES one's more like a standard console RPG and has a better presentation. The genesis one is more open ended and closer to the Shadowrun pen and paper game. Shadowrun Returns references both games pretty extensively, so there's lots of fun easter-egg type stuff if you play through either one (or both!).

Didn't even notice that. That's shitty!Is it me or is the price for Banished not $10 anymore for any of you (even though it should be)?

I saw that today as well and thought it was weird. I was sure Banished was $9.99.
Co-op is a form of multiplayer. I don't understand your question.

Yeah, I looked at the original post and was confused for a second - thought it might have been a mixup with Modbot or something.
Regardless, I guess my luck panned out for once. Really happy to try this out.

Yeah, showing for $15 for me now.
Lest day and Of Orcs and Men never did become a daily to get past its 75% off. Looks like I'm getting it.
