So.... Clandestine is on sale for 5 bucks. http://steamcommunity.com/app/290530 Has anyone played this a bunch? Is it as fun as the concept makes it seem? Same question for Seraph which is now $2.60. http://store.steampowered.com/app/425670 DaveKap fucked around with this message at 01:15 on Jun 23, 2017 |

Samuringa posted:Seraph is a very repetitive game with lacklusters upgrades(Things like "1% More Attack" or "2% Chance of Critical Hits"), shooting that's mostly garbage(Aside from a pretty good shotgun but it's hard to screw up a shotgun) and a story that goes nowhere - literally, as when you beat the last boss you get to make a choice and no matter what you choose it just skips to the credits. The dev said the story wasn't the main draw of the game so he doesn't care about it.. So if you do get invested into the logs, angels & demons and whatever is up with the protag, too bad. Skip it.

Quest For Glory II posted:you could be talking about dark matter but I -think- you're talking about Valdis Story which initially only ended with a comic ABOUT the final boss instead of an actual final boss. that game is as overrated as you claim yeah

According to the Steam forums, Valdis Story's final boss is now in the game along with a ton of other stuff they always meant to add... so I guess the game actually did get finished. *bumps that up the backlog a bit*

I'm the last person to ask for recommendations and typically the first to give them... but I've been known to have a blind spot or two so I'm gonna ask this thread and see what ya'll come up with. For science. I'm looking for a game with a really tight dungeon crawling loop similar to what end-game Diablo 3 is right now, but distilled into its purest form. Essentially, a dungeon crawler that isn't a rogue-like or rogue-lite, which is what most of them seem to be nowadays. I want RNG loot, properly feeling more powerful and turning once-difficult enemies into trash mobs through just a couple levels or loot upgrades. It's very likely that I'm looking for an indie title that flew under the radar, since I typically am the radar. Also, if the game lasted more than a few hours, that'd be nice. Plot not necessary, though some kind of variety to the combat and enemies is a plus. First person, third person, top down, I don't care, it's the loop I'm looking for. Surprise me!

Awesome! posted:diablo 3 is throwing me off here because i wouldnt really call that dungeon crawling. do you actually want an arpg type thing? Unless you're getting caught on the "crawling" pat of "dungeon crawling" which I never actually felt was supposed to dictate the literal speed of your traversal through a dungeon. I always interpreted it more in the sense that you are constantly exploring and discovering the entirety of a dungeon, crawling over it, to find every nook and cranny for as much loot as possible. Anyway, I'm agnostic to how quickly the actual dungeon traversal is. Crawling, running, doesn't matter if the loop feels good and tight. That's all!

If, for some reason, you were like me and forgot to hit the buy button on your Steam cart before the Summer Sale ended (seriously, if you say it ends on July 5th, you should INCLUDE the day, not end it when the day STARTS) Hollow Knight and Convoy are both the cheapest they've ever been over on the Humble store. Yes this is a cross-post from the Steam thread. Sorry.

Downs Duck posted:Never stops to amaze me how you can be in the game business and still gently caress up like this. Bethesda for sure, but other companies as well. Makes me wonder if the game business is a special case and is so much worse than other businesses are, of actually having a clue on what to do right. Or maybe that producing and selling games is such a hard business to succeed in that you are bound to fail so much? Even if you're supposed to be a professional company at it. In other words, what you and I consider bad marketing may have actually been better than what you and I consider good marketing; we just wouldn't know because we 1: Aren't the mainstream and 2: Aren't sociology majors.

Palpek posted:I don't agree. The "genius" Bethesda marketing division didn't lately successfully sell 2 games with their brilliant misleading sales tactics. They sold 1 game and utterly failed to sell the 2nd. They simply badly marketed 2 great games where one ended up reviewing and selling well only because it represented a famous brand and lived up to its legacy while the second game ended up selling poorly because it referred to the ultimately wrong, weak and forgotten brand (Prey), didn't use the actually strong brand the legacy which it represented (System Shock) and offered experience too niche for the target broad market it was marketted for. Doom was successful despite the marketing's failures because everybody knows Doom and the game was good enough to live up to it. Prey didn't have that luck.  I wouldn't be surprised if marketing saw what happened and disagreed that it was a good idea, as their foresight over such things were being guessed at by an executive trying to look smart. Maybe that executive is the Founder/President of Arkane Studios who had to resign after Prey sales were so bad. I don't really know but I wouldn't be surprised.

So I just had a discussion with someone who works with digital sales and they did not realize that WA pays taxes on Steam purchases. The reason I had this discussion was because I wondered about the answer to a question and since they didn't know, I'll now pose it here. WA residents pay taxes on Steam (based in WA) purchases. CA residents do not pay taxes on Humblebundle.com (based in CA) purchases (or Steam for that matter.) What's the cause for this? Is it a WA law that insists digital goods should be taxed for WA residents or a CA law that exempts physical goods or something else entirely? And to that end, do WA residents pay taxes on purchases from Humblebundle.com?
