Somewhere along the line, Steam decided I had an extra game.  So yay me for 1k I guess.  (even though I haven't added anything in 3 weeks)

Kinda nice in some ways though.  i have no clue what my 1k game was, but  in my head, it was an awesome game and not some god-awful abomination of pixels and code.

Good luck to those who will be shortly making the jump to Windows 10 in the near future.  (less than 10 minutes from now for some folks I reckon)

I tried it....uh..nefariously. I really want to support it b/c I want more AO games on Steam (better ones) and want there to be a market for them. I didn't beat it or play it very long and just wanted to see if it was worth dumping $20 into. Needless to say, its not.

The controversy is very overblown. Obviously, you're killing innocent people, but its a run of the mill isometric twin stick shooter. The controls absolutely suck, even with a control pad. They may have fixed this as I tried it during release week, but even with it fixed, I cant see it being anything Id stick with a long time. It looks very decent, environments are destructible and fire effects are great. I felt that the b/w was an interesting way to do it, but after I put about an hour into it, it felt like they went b/w to hide defects rather than anything artistic.

Its not the worst game Ive ever played by any stretch and I enjoy the hell out of twin stick shooters so Im biased with any praise Im giving it. But it just got boring. Theres execution animations you have to pull off as its the only way to replenish health, and they get boring quickly. The biggest problem was the controls though, they were just terrible and for a twin stick shooter its necessary for the controls to be one of the strongest aspects.

Basically, its not worth $20 whatsoever and its one of those wait til rock bottom or bundled (although I think AO may keep it out of most bundles). I'll play and finish it when I get it cheaply, but for now, not worth the price of admission.

Unless you get paid or get something to post reviews, I don't see why you would pay full price for this. It's a questionable buy even at 90% off. Yes, I saw that you wanted to support more AO games to come to Steam, but there are better ways to do that.

Yeah, I followed them and then retweeted. Got in around 290. I've tweeted them twice and no response, and I notice many others saying the same thing.

It's good to know that others have gotten a key. I'll keep trying. I kept looking at their name "Deceptive Games" and started to wonder...

Hopefully they're just overloaded right now and will get to it soon.

The Bee is kinda risky. Better off with a more defensive shield.

Edit: The Antagonist is an easily obtainable well balanced shield. Though, when I played Zer0, it was primarily a melee build.

I just need to be able to beat some seraph guardians so I can get crystals to buy it. :( Unless there's an easy way to get crystals that hasn't been patched?

I tried getting The Sham, but the drop rate is ridiculous. I'm at LV56, so TVHM is easy as hell, but UVHM is that much more of a jump.

Then one them posted on Reddit Game Deals. And then of course Reddit fucks get all up on their White Knight Horse 'Before everyone gets the pitchforks out...'

Oh the draaaaaammmaaa

I used to care about this shit and it pissed me off. Now I just go 'Oh another one? Oh well, I'll just get a Steam key for free anyway from Tremor when it's in some shitty bundle next week that I pass over'.

*yawn*

*Edit 2: And apparently this dev is a total douchenozzel and no stranger to drama.

So from my last post until this one is how long give or take a half hour it took to upgrade to Windows 10 (was on 8.1). Had virtually nothing to do other than press "Next". So roughly an hour for a 70% full 1 TB drive.

So far so good. I did not try the beta, so have no idea what that was like, but the start menu is back and I already really like "Task View" a lot.

And I was pretty clear that I wouldn't. I'd buy it and play it to completion at 90% off though.

I think that's the only way he's ever going to get money from his shitty products. He can't even get significant attention on his work by being an asshole like Fish. The only attention he's getting is the wrong kind, from people who would stab him wearing a Guy Fawkes mask.

I don't see that yet either but I've been on the beta and while it's been quite stable for weeks I don't know if they've pushed the 100% really for really totally final version to us yet.

*Edit: Okay Minecraft just magically appeared for me now.

After years of waiting for a sale on that god damned game my miserly ass can finally justify buying it.

I'm /was in the windows Insider, and I rememeber seeing The Candy Crush as one of my "purchases" (lel) on the shop history.

And I got something else which I don't remember now, but yeah good that I didn't fell in that trap xD.

Pyro Pete in UVHM is about the easiest source of crystals. As much as I love solo play, group boosting/grinding/farming is really the best way to avoid frustration. If only you knew some people that were avid BL2 players that would be willing to help...
 
If only!  While I appreciate what they tried to do with 'raid' bosses in BL2 the problem is most of the seraph items aren't worth the hassle.  With the exception of one or two they're all outclassed by legendaries you can get farming boxes solo for loot midgets.  N-e-wayz if someone wants to group up, let me know.  Although I'm currently limited by the first cap of level 61.  If I can grab the other one for cheap during the GG sale I might.

I got mine right away. Were you following them? They needed that to be able to send you DMs. If that isn't it, just tweet at them or message them, others have said they did that and then got their key.

I tweeted them yesterday that I thought I should have received a key and this morning, the key was there in my DMs.

30 days? Isn't it common practice to wait for the first service pack to be on the safe side? 30 days is only one patch Tuesday.

Knowing Microsoft, Win 10 Service Pack 1 will probably come out July 30, 2015 2016.

Edit:

I meant 2016, not 2015.

Fixed.

Eurogamer -> Dying Light: The Following expansion announced.

It will be free for Season Pass owners.

Non-SP owners can buy separately.

Here's producer Tymon Smektala's press release quote: "For Dying Light: The Following we're adding a number of bold game-changers to create one massive expansion. Something big that will give the game a brand-new flavour. The new map alone is the same size as all the previous maps from Dying Light combined, so there is a lot we're packing in here. We also kept a close eye on player feedback to help tailor what we've created here. Hopefully people will see that this new expansion is first and foremost, for the fans."

I want more AO games on steam, but largely of the HuniePop/Seduce Me style than the "murder babies" style.

Unless they were Murder-Babies. Like, babies that murdered people. That would be pretty cool. Unless THEY murdered babies. Is it wrong if a murder-baby murders another baby or is that a fair fight?

Did anyone that got in on that Deceptive Games' Kidnapped giveaway yesterday actually get a Steam key?

I got my key immediately upon retweeting at about 210 retweets in.

God bless you for caring about this stuff. I don't because all those games are piles of shit anyway and I couldn't make myself riot over a $4 crap game I'll never play. But I do enjoy hearing about the drama -- no doubt far more than I'd ever enjoy playing the game. So you're providing a noble service.

I should create a VN called "Murder-Babies Murders". You'll get to choose the path: Are you a baby who commits murder or are you tracking murderous babies? Maybe do it Fahrenheit/Indigo Prophecy style and have you follow both track simultaneously....

 
Didn't realize Minecraft W10 was just a mobile port. Absolutely terrible, hopefully they update it to be a hybrid of the original PC version and the console version (since I don't think it's Java). Unless they're just using the Win 10 store for mobile trash for people on touch devices I expect it.

Just be aware that is not the true PC version of Minecraft. It's a special build that is meant to be compatible with the mobile platforms. Mind you, it's going to look and play very similarly, but it will be missing things you'd find in the PC version and, of course, mods won't be compatible.

It's a nice gesture since it's free for existing owners, but it's not really the version you want if you're playing it on your desktop. On the plus side, it isn't Java-based.

Don't count on them updating it to the original version.

 
Doubt I'd spend anymore money on Dying Light.  Even if it's quadruple the size for $5.  I got bored halfway through the final large area and ignored most of the side quests.  The base game delivers enough hours.

Microsoft is pushing cross-platform support, so most Win 10 store stuff will probably be mobile ports. A lot of my apps have been updating for that purpose, also the mobile store added symbol(s) showing apps that can be used on PC as well.
 
It's best to pretend the App Store in Windows 10 doesn't exist. Why the hell would I want to play Asphalt 8 on my PC when there's Burnout Paradise on Steam, which isn't straddled by mobile fremium design elements.
