Cadence of Hyrule (Crypt of the Necrodancer with Zelda) is out for Switch, but they want 25€. I expected 15€ or so. Nah.

Forza Horizon 4: LEGO Speed Champions looks like a better investment. But what if FH4 comes to Steam....

Hollow Knight is GOAT tier.

I wouldn't mind putting it above Super Metroid and SoTN. I don't take anyone seriously who do not at the very least put it on the same level.

And at $15? I actually feel bad that it's that cheap!!!

Man I hate trying to rank stuff. Metroid/Super Metroid are such a nostalgia boost to me, they just fit like an old glove. So they'd get mega points even though Hollow Knight is just a better game. But then of course it is, coming out 20 years later.

I'm just gonna lump it all together. Very Large Blob/10.

SOTN I enjoyed on PSX but it didn't stick with me the same way, so I get it but I underrate it.

Still have the sale cards from 2013. One day they will be worth more than 14 Cent and I will be there raking in the moolah! :evilblob:

So far the gamble hasn't paid off but one day I'll be the last man standing, Gaben will contact me and offer insane riches so he can complete his 2013 foil badge.
 
Would they be trying to move to their own client for that? Maybe they'll try to turn the mogstation into their own client? I think they could create something even more abominable than Bethesda's client.
The set up theyve used in the past is pretty bad, it wouldn't be a steep drop to hit Bethesda or EGS levels of bad from where they are
 
I was about to buy this, until Steam reminded me that it's published by Raw Fury. The "ignore" function on publisher pages is really great! :giggle:
I'd love to be a fly on the wall at Devs that accepted Discord timed exclusivity.

Selling out for a small fraction of what Epic would have offered them.
Horrendously low sales
No marketing (or if you're lucky enough, one video showing your game has camera control as it's selling point)
And Discord just closing the storefront completely before some games timed exclusivity has even run out.

I almost feel pity. Almost.
 
nice patch


Since I already own Bad North, I'll dive back in over the next 30 days. It's a good 8.0 game.

I'm in an ethical quagmire because Raw Fury publishes Dandara too, and I've made a commitment to purchase games with brown protags.

I noticed that Afterparty has a brown co(?)protag. And so now I'm torn.

Does supporting diversity supercede the scumbaggery that is EGS?

Haven't figured it out yet. But I'm glad Valve already snatched up In the Valley of Gods dev.[/REPLY]
 
I’m doing the Steam Inventory Exchange... this will still take a while. This approving via app will be the death of me.
Yeeeeeeeeaaaah once you realize you need to do this each time, it helps to have done it in advance if ever you had the chance >_>;
...look at it this way, you'll at least be done with this current batch by the winter seal at the latest~

it's impressive all of this is happening so fast .... also means it'll all die fast too ... the sooner the better
The hell you wanna kill off Xbox game pass for?

Honestly, you are not going to receive any judgment from us, even if a "Fuck EGS!" comes from us. I'm probably going to buy Shenmue III. You do what you want and feel. If your convictions and desires are to support brown protagonist, it's cool. You don't have to explain yourself. I think that's a really cool thing, too. I'm prone to supporting games with female protagonist because I tend to enjoy them more... and not because T&A.

Thanks for the support.

It's something that I started doing this year. With some additional transparency, in response to the presidency and all the other unsavory behavior that is happening here.

Also, are you prepared to purchase Shenmue IV?

Something small I do, though it has nothing to do with a social or ethical cause, is support almost every SHMUP I can on Steam. It's my favorite genre and I want to support good and bad games so that, hopefully, more will come. When it comes to ShenIV, I'll be like 55 and blind, so who knows...

;)

Not-amazing-art aside this is starting to look pretty cool.


I wonder how the controls feel. It seems you can maintain fairly precise and fluid control around obstacles like when she approaches the store...

I'd probably have bumped into all the rails and chairs and npcs if doing that in Jet Set Radio.
 
Nothing will satisfy me until Skatebird is here.

Was Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater HD worth a shit on Steam? I know it's not there now, but if I got it from another place.

Yes. It's part of the reason why I am getting Falcon Age once it leaves EGScloosivity.
Mind you the most I'd 'chide' peeps about regarding buying from EGS is smirking that they'll buy it again on GOG or Steam, but I wouldn't critique or hate them for that.

Min. to sell should be $0.05, with $0.04 being the absolute minimum if you're unable to sell a card.

For some games, you won't manage to sell during your lifetime if the card is not on sale for $0.03.

I'm not 100% sure how steam calculates how many gems it costs to get a booster pack for a game

6000 divided by the number of cards.

Don't jinx it, I don't see why it wouldn't eventually come to PC since they've been porting all of them (and the rest of their games for the most part) recently.
I'm sure NISA would like an epic partner now that Tim is looking eastward!

pls no. :face-with-cold-sweat:
============

Also, the newest R6 Season came on Tuesday, but oddly instead of enjoying it and stuff I think I'm actually starting to get bored.

... Maybe this is the end of my Siege addiction and I can start to chip away at my other games instead. Maybe.

Chinese Parents English localization will be out on June 20.

Looking forward to it, I'm curious to see what all the fuss was about.


Pls be a good TL, please be a good TL, please be a good TL! 🙏

Like seriously I hope it's not a machine translation. :x

Hey peeps, do we know when the summer sale is happening? There are a couple things I'd like to scoop up if they get attractive deals.

OMG.

That reminds me.

In July I start "30 Days of DotA: Road to The International 2019"

I'll make a thread...if I can by then.

The idea is to play at least one game of DotA per day until The International begins. That is, the Group Stages.

Anyone want in? It's basically the one time per year when I play. badness

I'm a "retired" player. So pardon the off-meta badness.

Oh, that is what Kripp was teasing.

I know they had to lower the graphic fidelity as much as possible for mobile, but that's not a pretty game. Still, obviously the only one I'm interested in.

Awesome to see Dota Underlords so soon. Now can we CS people get something for our 20th anniversary?
