I'll often just buy games at full price if I know I'll like them and have .1 BRN titles in my Steam library total, how triggering is this.

It's only 4 bucks too. If anybody picks it up, lemme know how it is, I dunno if I'd enjoy it because they say it's definitely a horror game and I don't do well with horror games at all but it still looks interesting and I'm curious if it really is sorta shadowgate-y or not.

I did the GMG 0.20 deal + the 5-pack. The titles I got were pretty much a bag full of dog poo poo on fire so I only had one of them already, and the 0.20 deal doubled up with one in the pack.

Shattered Haven - Mostly Negative - PVKA5-RPQ3X-2BHDB
Return Null ep. 1 - Mixed
Data Hacker Corruption - Mostly Negative
Battlepaths - Mostly Negative
Elements: Soul of Fire - Mixed - X55YG-RFAFN-YMY8Q

I guess what I'm saying is that this offer is legit GMG just trying to make some money off cleaning out the poo poo that they will never, ever sell and you should not touch it because you will get poo all over your fingers and pay for the privilege. Luckily for you I threw myself on this grenade so you didn't have to.

It's just a third-party payment processor that they use, it has zero actual effect on the service and costs nothing for them to use.

That's a great deal, although I have no if those Enhanced Editions released in recent years might be a better (although more expensive) purchase.

Enhanced Edition of Icewind Dale ain't worth it just because of the fact that they added a story mode (As in your party is super overpowered and can easily beat the game with zero difficulty) into a game that is literally a traditional dungeon crawler with no story. Now I can understand something like that in a story orientated RPG but not when the whole game is literally just fighting through various modules.

Just seen a video of some PS4 game in development basically where you shoot lots of zombies. Whats out there in that vein on steam? Not L4D. I just added Zombie Army trilogy to my wishlist but in the meantime scouring for something perhaps a little cheaper. Keep in mind I've played Resident Evil to death, looking for big on action.

Yeah, pretty much any actual store never touches the Butts. The processors takes the bitcoin and the store only every sees real money.
Last time I checked there was like, 2-3 bitcoin payment processing places too.

I posted a while ago asking a similar question but now its steam summer sale time, do any not bad games exist that are an online multiplayer competitive game but instead of military guns it's elf bows or dwarf axes or some other poo poo? Just checked and saw the servers for Forge are offline (even for those who paid for it!) And Rune still has about 1-2 players online on a good day.

Chivalry just feels kind of sucky now that all the initial goons who bought it quit and it never got a balancing patch but instead a second samurai game you had to pay for.

The Culling is a pretty good melee online multiplayer type of game. There's guns but they're rare since most people opt for weapons that don't require bullets (which are also rare due to cost)

You'd think that if Disgaea 1 sold well they'd be in a bigger hurry to port the much better Disgaea 2, but so it goes.

I think it's questionable if Disgaea 2 is better, I prefer the first one. I'd jump to Disgaea 4, but I guess it makes sense to do it in order.

Partly that but at least in the demo you could get different responses depending on how drunk they were at different points in the conversation. (ex some of the drinks have optional alcohol, some you can add whatever amount you like, sometimes there are drinks of varying content that meet their request). But yeah there should be a few places you can serve them something specific for different stuff. There's supposed to be a hint in ROM chapter 2 for something you can try (haven't played it though)

yeah don't play Read Only Memories, it's... it's interesting and ambitious, but it uses a story to tell political correctness instead of using political correctness to tell a story. It's up its own rear end most of the time. I really wanted to like it, but I felt like I was not the audience for it.

I definitely liked the Bob Ross nods and I agree with the message, but the way it's done is so heavy handed that it ruins it.

any opinions on that valhalla game? It looked like a papers please style game but cyberpunk and with bars instead of oppressive soviet life. It looked neat but the waifu poo poo has me nervous. Someone said it was 4chan as gently caress is that accurate because if so then I'm not going to touch it.

It is much more of a VN than really a game. There's a little bit of money management and you have to be paying a little attention to know what drinks to serve sometimes, but it is much more about the characters and their storylines.

It's vaguely similar to Papers Please but it's pretty much a pure visual novel. The waifu poo poo's pretty much just a joke, there's no dating sim elements. There's an in-game message board that's a parody of 4chan and some jokes at the expense of anime, but other than that it isn't really "4chan as gently caress". I reccomend it.

I think the nod that they're mentioning is a part where you visit a bar and they have dozens of drinks that were contributed by Kickstarter backers as pledge rewards.

All I remember of that part is that one of the drinks was a shot of everclear in a glass of chocolate milk and that later on you come back to the bar and the bartender's cute chubby bear boyfriend is working the cash register and gives commentary on every drink you can order.
