Is anyone else having trouble logging into Steam right now? It keeps getting hung up on "updating steam information." Tried deleting the .blob file but it didn't help.

I'm not sure why Reaper from the new Humble Bundle isn't available for Android, because it's an excellent fightin' game... by phone standards. I wonder how well the gameplay translates to computer, has anyone tried it?

I love getting to the end of FTL and then dying because of a couple bad dice rolls. It's not annoying at all. Dying is totally fun.

Awesome!

I was overall pretty unsatisfied with HBS's Shadowrun. The nondialog gameplay was boring as gently caress. Everything just felt 'meh'. I thought the writing was certainly better than some other games, but nothing particularly impressive, either. But still, better.

I backed them last time but will absolutely not do it this time. Good luck to them, though. Always good to have a job.

In a sense, I wonder how much of it is due to the actual Shadowrun ruleset. I know the RPG itself is a big old creaky thing, but I don't know how much was lost/gained in translation.

Double Dragon Neon owns hard. Too bad about that bug or whatever it is that makes it lag after playing for some time. But absolutely no deal-breaker, that game is the best.

I had fun with it when I completed the game with a friend. You can share health between the two players with a key-combo, so one player doesn't need to wait for the other because they died early. You'll die a lot to start with, so you really need to replay the early levels a bit to build up your special abilities.

Welp, that sounds good but I just found out in the CoX thread that Saints Row IV Game of the Century Edition is $7.50 :siren:

I never did play Enter the Dominatrix, so I might just buy that complete pack and run through the game again on my new computer that should be able to handle it with maxed-out graphics. :black101:

If you already have the base game you can just buy the upgrade: http://store.steampowered.com/sub/47503/

The Genkibowl. Everything else is a bonus.


Skip the Invincible pack because that's literally a cheat DLC. The Bloodsucker pack is pretty cheaty also.

Also that whole ending sequence... I still can't believe they just lifted it from the Transformers movie :swoon:

Did you read my review yet? Use them on Double Dragon Neon, you will not be disappointed. It's even in a bundle now: https://www.humblebundle.com/weekly

I bought it for 4,99 or something, so 8 bucks for that bundle is probably a steal :)

Speaking of Saints Row since all of them are having a free weekend. Which one is the best? I know they're basically an over the top GTA. Which sounds good since I would go two missions into GTA and then drive wildly around the city hitting people so I could see how long I could outrun the police. I never did finish any GTAs for this reason.

Saints Row IV is the best open-world rear end in a top hat superhero simulator on the market right now.

I would suggest saving the $7.50 and putting it toward Gat out of Hell. The DLC for Saints Row 4 just isn't all that great, save a few moments.

2 is good if you want a more grounded experience, 4 is best if you feel GTA needs more superpowers and dildo bats both are quite fun in their own way.

Get the Ultimate and do a grand tour - you'll appreciate the older ones that way. Saints Row 2 needs Gentlemen of the Row. Saints Row the Third doesn't NEED Gentlemen of Steelport but it's probably a good idea (also feel free to watch an LP if you don't feel up to it; it got super rushed and they didn't have the 'let's make it a love letter' feel like IV does). Saints Row IV is nearly flawless on its own but it might be worth a visit to saintsrowmods.com for... I dunno, wardrobe/garage stuff and a couple of texture fixes I guess.

Don't skip a bundle just because it has cheat DLC, because you can turn off a game's DLC piecemeal in its Steam properties (not a bad idea for the Unlockable one that just straight up shits the split decision rewards all over you as soon as you get a garage or if you're annoyed by the bloodsucker animation) and Volition deserve all of your money.

If someone didn't already own Guacamelee, I'd say the bundle is probably worth it just based on the $8 tier alone. Since I already own that, though, I'm a bit more skeptical and waiting to hear opinions about some of the other games. (though I do really want Double Dragon Neon super bad)

Rule of acquisition #111:
Treat people in your debt like family...exploit them.


If you get the complete SR3, turn off the Bloodsucker pack. Normally when you take someone as a human shield, you kill them by snapping their neck. With the Bloodsucker pack, you suck their blood instead which is a much longer animation and it leaves you vulnerable the whole time. I can't remember if there are any clothes or vehicles you get in the pack but maybe there's a way to still get them without the new animation?

The three routes are with Hyun-ae, with Mute, and with both. I think it is worth playing through all three routes for different perspectives on everything, although scrolling through the logs again and waiting between days can be a pain.
