Not an official MC discord, but I guess the Robotrbush discord counts (which was actually kinda the "unofficial steam thread discord" before the exodus to era). I don't have an invite link but when lashman gets back, I'm sure he can get you one.Is there a MC Discord? I'm banned on the PC Era Discord for some reason
FTL is more of a it's own kind of Rogue-lites. Best way to summarize space sims is Sid Meier's Pirates in space, which can lean more towards combat based on game-to-game. So any Chris Roberts game, Wing Commander series, Starlancer and of course, Freelancer, maybe X-Wing/TIE Fighter Star Wars games, Dark Star One, X series and Starpoint Gemini series.

Try saving material for ship upgrades. Goal of the game is to survive as long as possible, so prioritize upgrades accordingly.
Yeah, they really screwed up the whole "space magic" aspect. In D1 you got your powers up all the time, it was fun. In D2 they tried to balance everything around PvP, so the magic powers have long cooldowns that make everything boring.
Kingdom was great, it's one of those gems that fly under the radar. I am considering buying it day one but this time of the year is really tough to decide because there are so many sales

That's a nice write up, thank you. For what it's worth, a lot of "pirates" follow the same path as you - the vast majority either pirate because they can't legitimately buy it, either due to availability or price, and when given the option to buy it for a fair price, do. I live in the states and I still couldn't afford most games / movies / TV during my college years, and that was going to a cheap state school and getting federal grant money. Life is expensive, yo.
Your sentiment echoes mine, even though I acknowledge the Epic store itself doesn't directly affect me much. Steam doesn't take their customers for granted. Most of these other games publishers have started to. Hopefully, that tone will change.
I really think Epic are dumb and gambling in a way they didn't need to with these exclusivity deals. None of the complaints I have against them would actually be very important if they hadn't "stolen" all these games away from the more public space. No regional pricing? Well, at least Steam and some stores selling Steam keys have that. No reviews or forums? Again, Steam (and Humble and GMG) have reviews at least, and Steam forums can still be the go-to for people. But then we'd have that option, of buying on Epic if it's a fair price for us as customers and using the existing infrastructure of the internet we can know what we're getting out of it.
Usually it's to improve the game, but now they're doing it for shits and giggles.
The game has been in development since 1987, so it's only right to price it over $30.I was hoping Below $13.99!
Oh joy! a steam thread!. going to be picking up gris for sure this week. game looks so darn beautiful, I cannot wait.

don't think anyone knows ... they aren't doing pre-orders afaik and they haven't said anything either .... Amazon UK has a "pre-order" for it but it's $60 and that HAS to be a placeholder price
unfortunately
same!
can't wait

Yo, look at this, a person of fine and refined taste. I tip a virtual hat to you.
Not sure if it is already posted here but Kung Fu Panda Showdown of Legendary Legends is being delisted on the beginning of 2019

It's amazing how games that I would never buy, suddenly become super tempting when they are about to be delisted.
The special bundle with all the DLC is already 50%, the game won't be reduced, maybe at the Christmas sale. The bundle is cheaper than the main game on it's own.

I finished The Messenger. What a ride. I generally say I dislike retro platformers (didn't like Shovel Knight, don't like Mega Man except X ones, etc.) but this game is too good and has just enough Metroidvania in it where I played it through in less than a week I believe. I don't know that's it flawless, I guess, but I really don't have anything negative to say about it. 99% of the times I died I knew what I did wrong (and I died a lot, so I learned a lot! Right?) and carried on, even when I died 15 times trying to get through a collectible room. The humor is old school Simpsons-esque, which I love but may not be for everyone, with references to other things including some I know I missed.
I picked it up while it was on release (?) sale the other week for $14, it is well worth it if you like that kind of game.

Is the game worth buying?
Just checked a gameplay video. This game is a Smash Bros like game?

they just removed it from steam so everyone buys the PS4 version .... because every single PC player has a PS4 ... it's a fact - google it

well since it's not already out ... probably a shadow drop with zero advertising a year from now - as per usualyeah, that's why I'm asking, I just noticed TLR can no longer be bought on steam, but we get no remaster, so clearly they are after double dippers money again. Little did they know I don't even have PS4
We're getting a 5th Doom episode from John Romero, for free! I'm definitely looking forward to playing it.
OP
It didn't say. I could see this being a PC release that's DRM free?
Honestly, I've played enough Doom in my days. I'd buy if it comes to Steam and is on sale.

well you still need the original game to play it ... so he can't really release it on steam even if he wanted to ... sadly
No idea if it'll be downloadable through Steam, but you'll be able to play it with Steam's version of Ultimate Doom. Just put the .wad in the game's folder and do whatever is needed to launch custom wads (I never did it myself, so I don't know how to launch them haha).
Found a guide: Steam Community :: Guide :: How to run ports\mods through Steam using ZDL
Guess the Steam community features aren't that useless after all
Oddly, I have an old Doom disk back at my grandparents home, but I bet it was II or Ultimate.
Would it even be worth it if I already own the original steam release? obviously they need to put one of the titles back though.
