Planet Explorer dev choice of words for the f2p change notification title is kinda tone deaf tho ... I understand that the game is sorta dead without the multi but calling it a final solution is a bit much...

New monthly twitch prime games are out:

- Bomber Crew
- Whispers of a Machine
- Mugsters

Bomber Crew is without DLC so you are missing out the skins, the extra weapons and most importantly the USAAF campaign.

I only just now got an e-mail from Namco Bandai (or whatever) that Pac Man Championship Edition 2 was free and at least on the PS4... it was!

e: Steam too.

The european stores for xbox, playstation and steam still list it as free.

If anyone decides to buy the Civ VI expansions (which I recommend eventually if you get into it. they're good!) you should know that buying the second expansion, Gathering Storm, gives you access to all the new features/mechanics in the first expansion -- you don't get the civs/leaders from it (and maybe a couple other things) that way, but all the major changes get rolled in. So if you're only buying one, get that one

i was thinking about getting the platinum upgrade which is 50% at 39,99, i remember civ 5 being useless without the whole bundle of dlc. Am I wrong?

Which I wouldn't mind, cept EGS logs me out daily now and refuses to log me in.

Given that today's game is not the usual indiegala freebie, I am expecting their servers to be ultrafucked RN, sorta like when they gifted GTA5.

Heads up, apparently Prime games are no longer accessible through the Twitch app, Amazon Games is now the top dog. Having to download all these storefronts for free poo poo is one thing, and obsoleting them & forcing me to download a new one is another thing, but not letting me choose where to install my free games apart from which drive? That's just going too far! I'm a caveman who likes using and keeping an organized file system, and Amazon demanding I install prime freebies outside of D:/Games/Free_dogshit/whocares is an affront to my aesthetic sense. I demand satisfaction.

e; I guess this is a staggered rollout that started a couple months ago, so not everyone is being denied by the Twitch app yet but everybody will have to switch eventually.

Being able to remove curse(yes, twitch desktop wasn’t even made by twitch) completely compensate another game software, that poo poo was cumbersome and took a shitton of ram/cpu just to load a video feed. The new app is stupid light by comparison

Gaben seems to not know what "free" means.

EDIT: Or I guess they meant ended this morning, which is a dumb way to say it. Just say it ended June 13 then.

Check the first row of text, it clearly says game discount: posted 12 jun / ended 14 jun

And see the date I posted on/my edit. It was the 14th, they just ended it at 12:01 AM instead of 11:59 PM which is dumb. Generally speaking you set the end date of a thing as the last day you can claim it, not the day after when it's already gone.

Their shoutouts on Twitter and other channels said that the offer was valid only on the 12-13th which is coherent with the promo interval, it started on the first minute of the 12th and finished on the first minute of the 14th. Unless stated otherwise, announcements on steam are on midnight of the indicated date

Learn() is a nice game but there are a lot of stages where you are left wondering what the gently caress you are supposed to do, there is little hand holding after the starter stages.

My partner was telling me about an Indiana Jones game she'd played as a kid and it turned out to be Yoda Stories reskinned (or maybe vice versa?). Either way, they made virtually identical games for the different IPs. I spent a lot of time on the crappy Yoda game.

Indiana Jones is the older one, couple of years earlier.

There is no listing at all on the homepage while the director cut has been deleted from the whole store and the base one is unavailable. Not going to tear my hair out on not getting the game but this is amateur hour.

Edit: using the launcher app links to the base game now but at least it's there, web site is ultrafucked. To goons in the know, does upgrading to the director's cut make sense or i can ignore it? I only saw LP of the stock game, not the director's cut.

Kind of tempted to play Breathedge now that it's free. The general consensus I saw was that it's lovely Subnautica in space and there's a character named Dr. Libtard somewhere which sure isn't promising.

You download their launcher, enter amazon creds, start downloading the game, ignore the launcher ever existed once it finished installing the game.

I really enjoyed the old Home World games, I wonder how the remaster holds up? I guess I’ll never find out.

Remastered main issue is running the first game on the more simplified second one so all the formations and soft counter logic goes out the window. If you don't mind it's a decent animation and texture upgrade.

Didn't pay much attention to Turnip Boy when it came out but it has overwhelmingly positive reviews on Steam. Thought it might have been a throwaway joke game but guess I'll check it out.

It gets ball bursting hard in the second half, which is sorta of a shame. The second half also switches from dark humor to just dark so dropping it there is a reasonable act.

Yeah, this is my impression as well. Didn't find the combat in the DLC train sections that hard either.

the zombie woman boss was both hard and it killed the funny vibe

I still continued afterwards but it sorta spoiled the fun both on story and on difficulty, i completed the game out of spite rather than pure fun.
