Hey, it's from Reptile! I really enjoyed Megabyte Punch (fun game - thought it felt very GC-era Nintendo, kind of a SSBM/Custom Robo/Megaman mashup), so this is on my radar now. (And they've got "no weak shit" as a bullet point in the video description. I like their style.)

Yeah, the cheapest you can back the game now is $35. I'd actually backed the Kickstarter during its funding period way back when, but I forgot all about it until the eleventh hour and consequently overspent on Steam the week my card was due to my charged, haha. In a way I'm righting a wrong by essentially pledging to buy the game twice.
Yeah, it's actually $35 which I'm pretty sure will be the EA price on Steam. I was such a fool for not backing this and Tides of Numerara when their kickstarter campaigns were running. Anyway, if Altazor backs out, I'd glady take the copy off your hands
It's okay, you didn't miss anything.
It was a shitty, boring 'game'.

PSA, because people have already yelled at me: proceeds support 'Operation Supply Drop'
And you can play a demo on their site
People around here are more worried about buying stuff for cheap more so than if a game is good or not, I mean, if they don't play the games they own why would they play a demo?
I actually hadn't noticed the demo, thanks for pointing it out.
I'll let you know if something changes.
I'd like to pay less for the beta in the here and now, plus if there is a Steam DDE then I would have sold my key later on, anyway, since I didn't opt for the DDE tier (just in case there is no Steam DDE).
Edit: Oh, and the beta is a separate app.

is orcs must die fun in single player or is one of those "only fun in coop" type of games??
yeah this doesn't necessarily make more sense to me but i can sort of see what you mean
personally i wish you didn't have to pay extra for beta tier, it's really weird that i'm at like 110 i think and still don't have a beta key, while i only went for like 40 or 60 on w2 and dead state and have been enjoying the betas for months
I'd love to do that, but the text is too small to read at 1080p from my couch. Is there a way to make the text bigger?
Sacred 3 got patched to include the missing artbook and soundtrack for those that preordered, which is a plus despite how long it took them to fix this. On the other hand, the PDF artbook is secured and I don't know of any free program to break the security, so I can't do much with those art images other than look at them, which is a bit of an annoyance.
Wouldn't have minded to use some as wallpapers once resized.

I finished the third level, but nothing about it was holding much promise to me. Gameplay was dull, tutorial messages were obnoxious, and the nothing about what little story or setting they had begun to set up managed to hook me in.
Incidentally, I cleansed my palate by booting up Metal Gear Rising for the first time since February and finally beating Jetstream Sam. Wooooo.

For some reason I can't enter a custom amount. Every time I try to delete the amount in there it takes me a page back.
not to talk shit but this looks way more fun than divekick.
I have a question for the undercover Steam Support agents here. I did look around on my own and it looks like I'm clear, but just want to check real quick before I do it.
If I change my account's email address, is there any sort of restriction or cooldown put on it? SteamGuard is enabled and I can immediately verify the new email address when it asks.

Does anyone have experience with using a madcatz arcade stick (ps3 version) on pc?
Does it work smoothly? So close on pulling the trigger on amazon ($99)

Is EchoPrime worth 1 dollar? Presuming I can actually get it for a dollar on that ammo site
Why's that?
They added a "Be Back Soon!" message to the cutsom amount field, hmm.
Why not? Do you not like the games or do you not want to give your money to that charity? There's a slider for where your money goes, but it looks like the charity gets 20% of the cut no matter what.

So somehow the average is going down even with the custom amount broken...

There are much better causes I'll support that don't involve supporting military powers. Against my ideology.
Because it was basically a QTE interspersed with walking around bits.

If I point Modbot to another thread for a giveaway does AUTOREPOST still work?
It's the game police
Because it got praised to high heaven by some people... and it really was a bad game, like all Mercurysteam games, sadly. =p

What do GAF folks think about the eXceed games? I really miss my copy of Akai Katana now that I don't have a 360 anymore. Is it a pretty good Cave-ish SHMUP?
Sure it can be a bad game (and that's something I'll find out when I play it) but when I see someone refer to a game as a "game" I immediately think that person has taken up to himself/herself to define what games are and I feel that rarely matches with my definition.

Plays just fine with it. Have had no issues.
Yes the newest patch lets you scale the UI.
I had issues bumped that up now I can read it.
Directors cut or standard edition?

Director's Cut. Willing to sacrifice the yellow filter and other issues for the boss fight redesign. Though, if you know a way to bring back the filter that'd be nice.
Changing your e-mail address won't impose anything.
Thanks, you're the best outsourced Steam Support rep they have.

That looks pretty interesting. Hopefully they've learned from some of their decisions with Remember Me and this one will live up to its full potential.
Haha, if only Valve would repay me by removing Talisman: DE from my account already (it's been six days now).

Got it from Russia for 6 TF2 Keys and 1 Tour of Duty Ticket. So I got it for like $13ish.

Still waiting on a trailer to see what the gameplay will be like.
Seems to be something that will be pushing story forward more than anything which I don't mind.
Is the version with a season pass region locked or something? I can't find it on tf2outpost or dispenser.tf

Just finished Lucius, took me around 5 hours, and got 41 of 58 achievements.
Overall it's a pretty interesting game, you play a Lucius a 7 year old boy who lives in a mansion with his family and many maids, butlers and handymen who are under your fathers employ, except he's not your actually father, Satan is, you are the spawn of Satan who has been tasked with gather souls for your real father to acquire various powers like telekinesis, mind control and combustion. The games premise is just that, kill everyone for Satan, expect the ways you have to go about doing so are quite different and unique, the main gameplay mechanics feel like a mix between classic Hitman trial and error with it's environmental deaths. Where combining found items with environmental hazards usually result in a entertaining death cutscene and no suspicioun cast upon Lucius.
Now the story isn't great, the voice acting is hammy and weirdly paced making it sound like sentences are being stitched together from totally different actors and the animations aren't detailed either. Some of the characters are interesting enough, for example Lucius' grandfather is a hard man who has something to hide and his motives are shown throughout the game and give an interesting look on the family's rise to power and occult ties. The mother slowly losing her mind lead to some interesting ambient dialogue like her asking Lucius to brush his teeth in a loving tone then immediately telling him to bug off because he's creeping her out, it's more than likely a bug but humorous none the less. As far as visuals are concerned, they're entirely fine for the most part, there are moment's when the game can be quite beautiful and others when it looks like a scene from a cut Deadly Premonition level.
The flow they achieve between making the game challenging but not making it frustrating looking for obscure items and solutions to problems are troubling, far too often I had to look up a FAQ on what obscure non related item I needed to complete a task that could have been simply completed another, far simpler way. That also brings out how the limited the game actually is in it's structure and openness to the player, Dante's Mansion, the games only location, is large and sprawling with countless rooms and corridors but most aren't used frequently or at all.
As a closing thought, I did really enjoy the game, the absurdity of the kills and the way the narrative tries to justify 20 deaths in one house as accidents so the detective working the cases doesn't have to call the FBI, is dumb fun, and entertaining. I would recommend anyone who is a fan of the older Hitman games and likes using the environment to kill hapless victims to try this game out, you mind fun for a good weekend of kill all for the glory of old pop Satan.
+ Environmental kills are fun and interesting
+ Graphics are nice in spots and the location is mostly well designed
+ Interesting idea and premise
+ Powers can lead to interesting gameplay mechanics
- Story is a little dumb, and stretches the players disbelief far
- Voice action and animations are lackluster
- Puzzles/Kills can be far too obtuse and can lead to frustration
- Limited in it's scope and options to the player
7.5 out of 10
