When I discovered a few years ago that she wasn't a real person I was incredibly distraught... almost as much when someone made it clear how racist it would be to crossplay as her.

 
So they added Two Worlds II Pirates of the Flying Fortress DLC as a bonus game on the GamesRage.org bundle.

Lying cheating bastardos!

DLC =/= Game

FWIW it really does play like a whole other game both in length and the fact that it's in a entirely separate area that you can't travel back and forth from. They probably should have just made it a stand alone because it really is except for the requiring TW2 part.

That being said, it is an odd choice to put a DLC in the lower tier that requires the base game in the higher tier (even if the higher tier is under $2 :p).

I think if you try much harder on your wordplay you will have a stroke.

They're trying to get you to buy the Entire Bundle - that's why.

By selling you the DLC so cheap (1st tier) - if you're missing the base-game, they're hoping you feel forced to force yourself to buy the 2nd Tier (b/c base-game's in 2nd tier).

2W2 (base-game) Steam-keys were in other bundles before elsewhere, right?

HLTB says that 2W2: PotFF DLC is about 10 1/2 hours.

That expansion is MUCH longer than Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons.

It's very strange. Although Groupees have done it before if I remember rightly.

 
MysterD said:
Morrowind has MUCH more freedom (in some ways) than the other two (Skyrim + Oblivion); and the actual ENVIRONMENTS are probably the best stuff they've ever done overall in this particular series. While Skyrim and (especially Oblivion) are much more traditional to what we normally see in RPG's, fantasy, medieval, and those genre - Morrowind's is just way MORE off-beat in comparison. Morrowind's best boss-fight is probably in the Tribunal expansion; and the werewolf-based stuff Bloodmoon was great.

What I mean by the "freedom" - in Morrowind, you CAN kill key figures (like Lord Vivec) that you actually need to keep alive to actually finish the main quest - and you can actually BREAK the Main Quest....to the point you CANNOT finish the game. And the game will warn you, if you succeed - "To continue main quest, please load an earlier save...or live forever in a broken world" - or to something of that sort and effect. If you ever wanted to sandbox the hell out of a game and say "Toss the main quest" by killing off key figures like Lord Vivec, you can do so - and if you can kill Lord Vivec, BRAVO! :D That is NOT easy to do!

Pretty much, Oblivion and Skyrim cut this kind of stuff off - so you can't break the game.
Click to expand...
I really wasn't sure if the game was a more dated version of ES IV and V, so thank you for the detailed response. I like the idea of breaking the main quest as well as the additional freedom aspect so I'll probably pick it up when it goes on sale again.

If you can give me $5 Amazon GC, I could do a split with you, but first thing's first.

Is the Stronghold Collection or NBA2k13 worth $5? Those are the only two I'm really looking at tbh. I'd look at BL1: GotY if it was included.

I know NBA2k13 had its online removed, but I remember people in this thread saying it was kind of better than 2k14, which I already got for <$3.
Click to expand...
stronghold collection is steamworks says on their page and it is fun there three modes for the first one.

 
Apparently Ubisoft accidentally left some settings in the ini file to "console" quality. If you switch them around you get some good graphics.

*Update, it appears the setting does nothing and the game looks the same whether its on or off. These screens are allegedly downsampled from 4k and that may be why they look so nice.

i believe you. sometimes, to remember to appreciate good games, you have to torture yourself with hundreds of hours of games you can't stand

Do we need to arrange an intervention?

Haha. I'm a huge fan of Total Annihilation/Supreme Commander, and this is pretty much the sequel minus Chris Taylor. There's lots of key designers from both games working on Planetary. It's also getting good buzz and the developers are doing a nice job with the Early Access roll-out.

Hmm... that's not a bad idea.

 
Well, I finished Transistor today and I'm about halfway through another playthrough.

Mini-review (no story spoilers, mild gameplay spoilers):

I absolutely adore this game! The visuals are a treat in themselves, but much like with Supergiant's other game (Bastion), the gorgeous presentation plays second fiddle to the excellent gameplay. Actually, I know some people thought Bastion's gameplay was too simple, but you most likely will not find that an issue in Transistor. Even after 8 hours of playtime, I'm *still* earning new moves and fiddling with combinations to achieve maximum efficiency. I also enjoy how the game can be as simple or as complex as you want, without the use of some obtuse difficulty setting. Instead, Transistor uses "limiters" (similar to Bastion's idols) that affect the game in various different ways in order to reward you with more experience.

The vocals are great and I love the fact that Red's profession as a singer is apparent throughout the game. Logan's voice (the narrator from Bastion) gives Transistor the Supergiant flair, though I wonder if they would still use him again in any other game. The music is excellent as always, and while the story didn't grab me completely, I still found it a step up from Bastion.

My main complaint is the poor optimization. Transistor has crashed on me probably about 15 times, though 12 of those times were during performance trials in the arena area. I'm not sure what it is, but that test constantly freezes my game at random intervals even when the normal campaign hardly gives me any problem. This is a pretty big nuisance since some tests can have 7 waves without saves, and my game has crashed on waves 5 and 6 a couple times already. Bleh.

Thanks for the review, Imac, your views seem to echo what I've been reading on the game. I think I'm gonna wait on it myself, in the hopes that the bugs are ironed out before it goes on its first sale (hopefully this summer :))

No one played with me :(

I ended up finishing Doorways 1 and 2 though. The first level is pretty boring so I can see why someone would get turned off by it, but it gets increasingly better as the Chapter goes along. The first part (The woods or forest) is as someone else put it "hopping around in the dark." Once you get past that the areas get better and the end of Chapter 1 is pretty good if you like creepy adventure games. Chapter 2 is even better with the story and puzzles. So I definitely recommend it for fans of creepy adventure games and there is a really good guide on Steam if you ever get stuck.

 
Also, this is the back story for that tweet:

http://www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1s1s8n9

And TB apologized to the kid recently and called himself a cunt for posting that.

I think everyone knows I'm not a big fan of TB's videos, but this whole "karma" angle is a bit overblown.  Yes, the comment is a fucked up comment to make, but obviously the guy was just pissed off and talking shit and not seriously wishing cancer or death on the guy.  It was immature, if anything, but certainly nothing to judge the guy on.  I mean from the videos you know the guy has a mouth of sailor and frankly that's the most entertaining part of what he does.

Yeah, I'm pissed too. Mainly because I spent 295 Tremor Coins on the DLC, because it only said bonus "games" and not DLC.

Guess that gives me a spare then.

I checked the key to see what terrible piece of garbage it was, expecting the "Duplicate Product Code" page, but lo and behold, I own this game already (twice!). Truly I have become a Steam hoarding monster.

I probably curse a lot more than a healthy amount (maybe it's a NY thing). If you think my rate on here is bad, I had a phone call with a friend yesterday who hates cursing, and despite my best efforts not to, I slipped up about 10 times during casual conversation. I'm terrible. :wall:
