The achievements in Escape Goat make you feel like the slickest bastard ever when you do them.

Anyone familiar with Escape Goat know what you're supposed to do in Room 8 of the Final Path? I get that I'm meant to move a lit bomb over to the right side of the room, but I don't know how.

Nevermind, think I got it.

I think with AAI2 the team who translated the first one disbanded, and they didn't want to do it with another one. At least I remember hearing something like that.

Is any of the Fallout 3 DLC good? That would be why I'd get it on PC, since my copy of it's in just the other room. Unless there's some really good Mods.

I feel like a drooling idiot for asking this, but I'm at Galbalan in Oath in Felghana, and how are you meant to dodge the fireball spam in his first form? No matter what I try, running, normal jumping, double jumping, I always, always get clipped by the third-to-last one. I know I'm gonna need to take as little damage as possible for the later parts already, and this is also really frustrating me, which doesn't help.

I swear Galbalan's AI is sentient or something.

"Oh, got to my second phase with almost all your first lifebar intact? Hope you learned how to dodge my hardest move, fucker."

And just now he followed up the ice platforms with the fireballs three times in a row with like two hits until his second phase.

I'm sure all those people posting that they're happy with their deals are wrong, then.

I beat Oath in Felghana on Nightmare just now, which I'm pretty happy about. Origin is supposed to be a little easier, right?

New bundle from a new bundle site. Not sure if the keys would give you the english versions though, for obvious reasons.

They all seem to be from the same company who did the Nightmare from the Deep games, which aren't bad.

I believe Contraptions has that discount because of this, actually. But since Monaco's on there it effectively applies to everyone.

Since Thief Gold is on there, what are the chances of one of the extra games being 2? Blood Money's almost definitely gonna be one.

Mr. Bree is a pretty solid platformer, and its soundtrack is really awesome.

It's only 2.99 in the store, so it's kinda baffling how quickly it turned into bundle fodder. Already been in two.

New Bundle Stars bundle:

Vector - looks like Canabalt but with more than one button?
Rush For Glory
Montas
Steel & Steam: Episode 1
Sugar Cube: Bittersweet Factory
Ionball 2: Ionstorm
Clockwork Tales: Of Glass & Ink - some adventure game, it won't say if it's point&click.
Growing Pains

Any opinions on any of these? Is it worth �3,19 for essentially the canabalt clone?

It's a hidden object adventure game (and if you hate those, the games from this company usually have some other minigame you can do if you want); you go through areas, pick up stuff and use it on other stuff, and solve simple puzzles. I've played both of the Nightmare from the Deeps, and they weren't too bad. This will probably be more of the same I'd imagine.

So having a quest where Geralt gets drunk and fights two monsters was pretty amusing, but putting an ambush of dogs between you and the nearest fireplace? Not quite so funny.

Well the average on the bundle has shot up to 12.85 somehow, so I guess I'll just get the two titles for a couple bucks.

How impatient are you if you can't sit through Oath's cutscenes?

Are the PC ports to the other Kain games anything like Soul Reaver? That one was awful enough on my computer I just tracked down the PSX version, since I'd already paid for it. But I'm not sure I can do that with the PS2 ones.

So the Trading Card 2 Blink Bundle updated with its secret game, a 2D horror game called Whispering Willows. It's not bad so far, has kind of an RE1 vibe with notes and stuff everywhere.

I was looking up the games in that Bundle Stars deal, and,

Steel Storm review posted:

Apart from this being a boring game with controls so bad that it causes dizziness, I don't recommend this game because of the behaviour of the developers themselves.

Because of its low User Score on Metacritic (4.7 out of 10), the devs made an official announcement where they asked gamers to spam-vote perfect 10s in order to manipulate the result, while at the same time calling those who gave them low reviews "♥♥♥♥♥s" and "trolls", among other insults. When I and a few others remarked on how unprofessional that was, we had our comments and posts deleted, as well as our names included in a very public "Hall of Shame" (which was also deleted a few days later) where the developers attempted to ridicule and humiliate us as "trolls".

When almost no one posted any favourable user reviews on Metacritic, they asked Steam to remove their Metacritic score from the game's store page, as it gave them bad publicity (and that's why it's no longer here), but not before one of the developers (called Alexander "motorsep" Zubov) posted a fake review, giving his own game a 9 out of 10.

Companies that behave this way don't deserve any business.

Well then.

Oh another RPG Maker game? Well-

"Sacred Tears TRUE brings both traditional JRPG elements and fresh and unique features such as a deceptively simple but deep card battle system, redistributable skill points, and graphics by Takashi KONNO (Shichinin no Bukiya) and music by Hiroyuki Ojima (Accel World, When They Cry anime) and Shimotsuki Haruka (Atelier Iris, Ace Attorney Orchestral Performance)

"Hey, let's make disconnecting rope lines and connecting them take very similar mouse commands!" said one person who worked on Volt.

"Ooh, and let's give the player a limit on how many they can use per level, typically with no room for error!" said another.

gently caress this game, said I.
