You should wait as the average always tanks shortly after, if you pay now you'll need to pay another $11 to beat the average even if the new BTA is at $4.

After finally finishing my 'Discovery Queue' I must say that I had no idea how much utter poo poo is on Steam, makes the Wii look like a triple A machine. After the 1000 games mark it becomes all 'Simulation' and 'Zombie' something type games with mixed reviews or worse. Don't bother unless your watching a stream or something.

I just did a dumbo and checked the firefox addon site instead of going to ES's site and stupidly assumed that my "up to date" 5.7 was the last stable release

Enhanced Steam on Firefox's addon site doesn't get updated anymore because ES doesn't comply with Mozilla's regulations or something, good or bad.

Attention Dark Souls fans!

We're pleased to announce that next month it will be possible for players to migrate their Dark Souls: Prepare to Die games, saves and achievements from the Games for Windows Live platform to Steam.

-Games for Windows Live users will be able to redeem their Games for Windows Live Tokens on Steam to get Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition at no additional cost. (To find your Games for Windows Live Token, please head to the support webpage: http://support.xbox.com/en-US/billing/prepaid-codes/locate-games-for-windows-live-tokens)

-In the month of November, there will be a period by which Games for Windows Live Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition users will be able to transfer their Save Data (characters + progress) and Achievements over to their Steam accounts.

-Players will still be able to use their Games for Windows Live Tokens to redeem the Steam version of Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition at no additional cost even after the migration period ends; but game Save Data and Achievements transfer functions may not be available.

-Games for Windows Live Rankings will not be transferred to Steam.
The specific migration start and end dates will be available soon; however the migration period will begin sometime in November 2014 with more specific dates to come.

Don't have experience with Blood, but when it comes to GOG games moving over to Steam they've been so far exact 1 for 1 copies, like every file having the same md5 same. If Blood on GOG is using DOSBox then Steam's Blood surly will be too. That one bad review is probably just a GOG user mad at losing an exclusivity to Steam.

Is there any real reason to pick up STE if I already beat the regular game? Like, significant new content or anything like that?

I'm going to say no, the new areas that were added in STE only add up to be about 2 hours of extra gameplay, and the rest is just fluffy stuff, like life bars above enemies heads and the ability to buy in-game costumes.

It looks like they took the open source version, slapped a new coat of paint on the UI and sell it under a new name. The sounds, the graphics and partly the UI is all directly lifted from HOMM 3.

The game is obviously trying to be a HoMM clone but I'm not seeing the straight rip of game assets, booted up some HoMM3 just to take some screenshots.

Looking at the Royal Bounty HD video, it looks better IMO then the original, has a more streamlined interface, and seems to run smooth and fast on modern systems, also you probably won't have to gently caress around with some Russian mod to get it playing in a non 800x600 resolution and not look terrible. What I'm ultimately saying is that we need more HoMM clones in this world.

I never had any involvement in the Vivendi project that they were doing, Brütal Legend, other than I was in one meeting where the guys looked at it and said, 'He's late, he's missed every milestone, he's overspent the budget and it doesn't seem like a good game. We're going to cancel it.'

They actually didn't. People are just entitled as gently caress and want it free or can't read. http://i.imgur.com/FQXVqLb.png vs http://i.imgur.com/Yq73rvm.png it was also a free bundle that was for charity so the dev's didn't get any money from it.

But yeah I've been playing this game on/off for awhile now and it's strangely addictive, it must be a skinner box thing. I really recommend it, and I hate ASCII, I can never get into games like Dwarf Fortress because of it, but it works really well in this game, graphics don't even faze me in this, and it's not at all as complicated as it may seem from the screen shots, oh and the music rocks. :rock:

Here is a Let's Play of it by Quill18, his video can do a better job at giving a rundown of it then I can with words. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=baOlJiXE97w And this video is of a really old build so expect a much more fleshed out game if you played it today.

The d-pad on the Xbox One controller is still garbage when it comes to diagonals, how the gently caress can they gently caress it up so many times, especially since the d-pad was the major and probably only complaint from the 360 controllers.
