Gromit posted:For future reference, you can use SAM for games that don't show up in your game list (but that you own) by typing in the code for it in the "add game" text box. You get the code by going to the game's store page (or any page related to that game) and checking the URL. For Stranded, it would be 295250. drat that's the kind of useful info that should go in a thread OP

Has anybody checked out the early access Lichdom: Battlemage beta yet? It looks like the kind of game I've always wanted to play and it seems like the dev team is going to hit their August release date, I just wanted to see if there were enough features currently implemented to make it worth getting now at the 25% discount and playing through again once it went live.

Palpek posted:Just to add 3 interesting titles from the weeklong deals: It's a pretty straight-up adaptation of the solo board game, for better or worse, which I played a handful of times in the late '80s - I also logged a lot of time with a flash version of it that was on the web around 2000/2001 before that got pulled. If you've played either version, it plays exactly the same. If you hate any kind of game that is influenced 99% by dice rolls, I'd advise steering clear, but I enjoyed it. At the beginning of the game, you get weapon and equipment cards (depending on the difficultly level, you either know exactly what you're getting or you get them randomly and only see what you got when you start) to help you mitigate certain situation you run into, and you can pick up a bit more when you're playing the game. You will curse at the screen whenever you run into the one situation you don't have a piece of equipment for (for the love of god, get the grappling hook any chance you get). You will still have runs where you have decent equipment but get crushed by unlucky dice rolls. If you can get past all that, and once you play it enough and you know how everything works, it can actually be a fun and tense little diversion. Every time I've won, it's been by the seat of my pants, near death, with less than 10 turns left and with only one shot left in my weapon.

Accordion Man posted:You do, you get separate keys for the games in the lower tiers along with the Steam key for the Complete Pack. I got this and just played through the first Freddie Fish game with my 5 year old. I had no experience with them as a kid. I'm glad I bought them for him, he really enjoyed it. The art is still good and the entire presentation really holds up. The puzzles arent hard but they're not braindead either. A good introduction to adventure games and I'd recommend them (at least that one) to anyone with young kids.

lordfrikk posted:I'd totally play some kind no supernatural wilderness survival thing, but only if it was technically well done. By which I mean no clicking tree to get wood, but actually getting to chop that poo poo down with proper physics. Also, skinning animals and cooking. And getting your arm mauled by a bear and then fixing it with shoddy medical skills, I guess. Probably some kind of crossover with those deer hunting games. The Forest is actually wandering pretty close to this. Not quite, but close. You chop trees properly with an axe and they fall with physics (but conveniently break into pre-made logs for you which roll all over...) and when you kill an animal you loot its skin before its meat, then cook it on the fire or craft items with the fur. There's bleeding and bandages, but no bear maulings... They added a peaceful mode so you can dick around and build poo poo without having a roving band of cannibals beat the poo poo out of you every 5 minutes, but it feels kind of empty with no danger. There has been other commentary about wanting a more realistic survival simulator, which they linked on their news feed, so I'm hoping they consider adding some "non-horror" wilderness survival modes in the future. (I'm also hoping they keep developing it and don't gently caress off while it's still half finished)

Stickasylum is a super cool goon who hooked me up with Chainsaw Warrior. I was going through the weekly deals when I picked up Space Ranger seeing what else I could spend my card money on and came really close to buying it. Single player card / board games are a cool concept.

That would be awesome. I've always been intrigued by the promise of old games like Robinson's Requiem but I feel like with the tech easily available now someone could do a lot less janky version. I have no interest in horror stuff though or anything multiplayer.

If anyone's interested, I guess just post here and/or PM me (or hit me up on Steam - although unless you post in here too, try to make sure you're in the goon group, so I know you're not a lurker) and I'm sure we can work something out. Be warned: I'm still at work and it takes me approximately an hour to drive home, so I'll likely be home in around two hours' time, or thereabouts.

Major Isoor posted:Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask (four packs and that kind of thing are still done in here, right?), but would anyone be interested in splitting the $70 Divinity: Original Sin deluxe pack (or whatever it's called - can't stealthily look at Steam right now as I'm at work) where you get two copies? For example, I could buy it and get the DLC and pay $40, and the other person (maybe you?) could get the second copy for $30? (is that reasonable enough? That's $10 off in the US as well as Australia, right? Or do we pay more for this too?)  Goon steam resellers will sell copies for like $23. I don't know if that's a thing we can advertise in this thread, but it's where I got both of mine for cheap.

So, Verdun. It's on sale and I bought it because I miss Red Orchestra and WW1 is a very rare setting for FPS games. I'm having fun just playing as an NCO and calling down mortar strikes right now. It's a bit more arcade-y compared to RO which is kind of disappointing. Also, I have to say it's surprisingly sterile for a game about WW1--there's little if any blood, and definitely no dismemberment/vaporization from explosions ala RO. Did anyone else pick it up?

Apparently Pixel Piracy is leaving Early Access and becoming a finished game. I mention this not because I've played it or even know what it is, but it's such a rare moment when an Early Access game IS ACTUALLY FINISHED DEVELOPMENT that we should take a moment to golf clap. The dev: quote:We have been informed just now by our Valve representative that we are also one of the first titles to leave Early Access, as well as one of the quickest to do so (having only spent a little over half a year on it.). It's also surprising because it's published by Re-logic, and we all know if Terraria was an Early Access title, it would never leave (just bein real yall!!)

I think it mostly reinforces my own belief that absolutely no one, including Valve, have any idea what Early Access even means yet. Much like a lot of other things Valve does at the moment Early Access just seems to be a "Eh, whatever, we'll see what happens later" experiment.
