Why is there no Save & Quit option in Risk of Rain?

I'm going through my best run but I have to jet outta home and I don't know when will I be coming back. Fuck this shit, seriously.

Rouge-like. Saving and quitting is abusive.

You can argue if whether or not that's a good enough reason.

... but the combat is super janky and outdated. If you think you can put up with that, then by all means play it, but the video is quite helpful in filling in the first games' plot.

I thought the combat was pretty entertaining, requiring rhythmic clicking. What got to me more was all the back-tracking through some areas--it really got on my nerves the first playthrough. The second playthrough, I knew the layout of the quests to pretty much figure out the optimal order without overlapping too much; it saved so much time, it's ridiculous.

Nope, there's a really helpful video CDP made that explains the story up to the point of The Witcher 2. The story in The Witcher 1 is excellent and it's worth playing through, but the combat is super janky and outdated. If you think you can put up with that, then by all means play it, but the video is quite helpful in filling in the first games' plot.

Cheers thanks:)

I managed to get in on that Bethesda bundle pricing error on Gamersgate about a year and a half ago. Every Elder Scrolls and Fallout, Dishonored, Doom 3 BFG, Rage, and a few other games, for $30 total. I managed to get two, actually; sold what I didn't redeem and made my $60 back exactly. That was a good Christmas.

I was playing AssCreed 3 at the time and browsing GAF on the odd occasion with the help of the Steam overlay; by the time I caught wind of the mistake, the site had already crumbled under the pressure (I think I got as far as adding the package to my cart). Gosh, Ubisoft ruins everything.

I have Ass Creed games across a bunch of different systems; really kind of annoying. Ended up double-dipping on them to have them in one place; but will wait for Black Flag and Liberation to drop to $5 before splurging on them... maybe this holiday?

Overall, it always blows my mind how I think there aren't any games I still want, and then I realize how much is still out there that I want to play.

Totally forgot to take advantage of the Resident Evil 4 sale, which is disappointing :( But otherwise, happy with my haul. Ended up telling myself "no" to about $100 worth of stuff ... ... looking at you, Planetary Annihilation.

I hope there's some AssCreed Bundle on Steam with all the DLCs and jazz so I too can consolidate them here on PC T_T

(and play the old games w the DS4)

Tempted to get Saints Row IV, but us Aussies are being offered the ''Low Violence: Low Violence Version''...

Is there much difference between the low violence and original version?

Cheers.

Save-scumming is considered abusive, yeah.

There's no reason not to implement something so that you can suspend the game, shut down the PC, and resume from that spot later, though. It's no more abusive than putting a handheld into sleep mode.

To everyone else that has given away so many, many games during these sales - sometimes even more games that they own themselves on Steam:

You are wonderful gaffers, all of you, and we're proud to have you.

And to all the other new people that have shown up and participated in the conversations, join us in regular SteamGAF once we switch over!

Even though I am not complete with my Shadowrun Returns playthrough, I have just started the installation process for The Witcher: Enhanced Edition, and will play it for a bit tonight. Sigh...

This Steam sale made me realize that I can make a list of my top 20+ Must PlayOwn Steam Games.
I'll have it prepared for the Winter Seal along with select quotes from some of our top posters like Jase, Seahorse Ronan, Stump, Rhaknar, Sub Zero, etc.
