Am I missing something? If I check that sausage game from Steamcharts, it tells me pretty much that nobody in the world is playing the game. http://steamcharts.com/app/353540 It does have 173 Steam reviews though (172 of which are positive). Which sounds like a lot. So, eh, everyone who buys the game writes a review? If nobody buys the game, shouldn't they just suck it up and price it at 9.95 and see people actually playing the game? These numbers just make little sense to me. I just learned about this Steamcharts site today and I've been browsing player numbers from games that I've played or bought, and sometimes the numbers seem too low for my logic.

Because it will interrupt his patrolling and that can be both good, and then awful as he becomes less predictable. Oh for sure, I agree with the smoke, I just thought he would sense or react to me tossing the bomb and the sounds it made when it landed on the floor directly underneath him. But no, nothing. So I just waited until the drooling disappeared and walked to the next computer to log into. Molotovs and flame throwers sounds great, looking forward to that.

TL;DR, the gameplay is dead simple, more akin to a hidden object adventure game, the story is eh, but the graphics make up for all, if you're into them. The Floor is Jelly is a fun little platformer. It's been a while since I played it, but it was fun to bounce around the levels, but for 2.50 you can't go wrong.

I dunno how intentional it is but you can get borderlands the presequal for like 4 bucks right now by buying it through a "bundle" if you already own the previous borderlands. It's like 12 if you wanna buy it individually.

So I started playing Endless Legend. It's pretty good. Also I will stop playing it. Because I'm starting to develop the same kind of crack-addiction like with Civ V. No thanks ma'am.

Bought Tharsis for £1.86 cause someone picked it in their best 2016 list, but good grief it's basically impossible even on normal difficulty. Done about 5 playthroughs now and not got any further than 6 or 7 turns, the minute you get one set of bad dice rolls you're immediately hosed with no way of fighting back.

Jordan7hm posted:his previous game (English Country Tune) was incredibly cheap. I guess he's trying something different this time around. KNIGHTS feels frustratingly simple as a puzzle game - you always put the knights in their spots and sort out the stragglers. Pass unless you want a simple puzzler. Immortal Defense meanwhile is my favorite tower defense and 100% worth it. Story's great, gameplay is fun, the medal challenges are fun (except for Love 3 but I'll crack it eventually.) Please treat yourself to it! I admit part of the appeal of ID's gameplay is how you have to be involved - you set towers, and sometimes it's hands off but most of the time you have to guide bullets or wreck enemies yourself.

Girlfriend gave me a $20 steam card so I picked up ABZU, Oceanhorn, LISA, and Dawn of Discovery.  I've only played ABZU so far and it's chill as hell, how are my other picks? I know goons love LISA for the most part. How's Oceanhorn?e. vvv I bought them each separately in case I wanted to refund anything. Hopefully I like it!

I haven't played Sausage Roll but it doesn't look that niche. I mean the core mechanics look pretty straightforward, it seems like one of those "easy to learn, difficult to master" kind of games. It's not like it's some kind of grognard tabletop simulator. Is he just trying to game the system and get disproportionately positive reviews?

Tharsis can be fun, but in my experience, it was just impossible and the goal of beating the game seemed unobtainable or something you almost dont shoot for but rather just deal with different situations. but still die.

Trill Sandwich posted:On that note, Last Fight is also really good, though it seems like no one has ever heard of it. It's essentially just a pretty Power Stone port, but that's what makes it great. So I've now learned that Steam search has randomly started parsing spaces where it didn't before. The game is actually called LASTFIGHT and searching for Last Fight like you'd normally do brought up bupkis. It did, however, also reveal that at some point they made Dead or Alive 5 Last Round into one of those split F2P/buy-in games ala Killer Instinct. Huh. strategery posted:So apparently Gamestop's online store has Wasteland 2 for 5 bucks. Just fyi. The boxed version, not digital.

Yeah, I didn't like Tharsis either due to the dice hazards that could make half of the die faces unsafe... in the module that provides assists.

I'm awfully tempted to pick up Death road to Canada... I heard the huge waves of samey zombies could get monotonous, is that true? I wouldn't mind it too much given enough weapon\evasion opportunities  Vvvvvv About sorcery... I just got to the end of the first act despite being robbed of everything right out of the gate. I started the second act miserable and penniless. gently caress that. My policy now is that if an event throws you under the bus don't hesitate to rewind.

I'm going to shill for another cool game to bet I played (and still play) - Sorcery and Sorcery 2. I haven't gotten 3 and 4 yet but those first two ones own. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a-6Fk-2rIvc&t=30s -They're basically a digital version of a 'choose your own adventure' book. -They have persistent inventory that is carried over to the sequels. -They feature a cool spell system where you spell out words in order to cast them. -The writing is good and there are tons of different routes you can take throughout the map. -The second part features a system where you can finish it multiple times choosing different things each time (if you want to) while this fact being weaved into the story (you carry over your inventory too). -There's also an interesting combat system where you can sense the enemies' attacks from how the fight is being described. -I also like the illustration style in this game. Overall it's a really chill enjoyable game where you can take all the time you want to make your decisions.

The controller is really controversial you will either love it or hate it. The Steam link reportedly sucks on wifi so make sure you can plug it in to ethernet. Other than that you've made good choices.

Could I play Shenzhen IO if I'm too stupid for TIS-100? It looks more user friendly, but I assume the puzzles ramp up in difficulty pretty quick.

Talos Principle and the Dishonored DLC are excellent. There's no world in which you should pay more for The Turing Test than for Talos; if you want more 3D puzzling get the Road to Gehenna DLC for Talos at the same time.

Talos has absolutely fantastic writing and setting but I found its puzzles really boring. The worst part is there's zero reason to do the "star" puzzles unless you can power through all of them because there's no partial rewards. That said, everything else about it was so good that I'd still pay that price.
