STEAM | December II 2014 - A thread for people who don't like sale side posters.

Status
Not open for further replies.

My 24 hour giveaway only re-posted in the sale thread oddly enough when I was certain I posted in THIS thread first @_@

Pretty sure ModBot is linked to the sale thread since AUTOREPOST reposts there unless targeted to this thread with THREAD I think.

Whatever, I left out NOLURKERS, so only the edit thing maybe won't work.
Happy New Year GAF

So it's 2015 and we all know what this means for SteamGAF... That's right! This is the year that DRAGON THE GAME will ascend its initial quality and transcend Early Access to become the most magnificent game ever made.
What a year it shall be.

Anyone want to sell me on Mind or Eidolon? I've never heard of them. I already have Dust.

The first tier seems pretty great at least.

Since it's still sale time, I'm still using the garbage dump rule for bundle extras.

Year Walk's an interesting game if you're into adventure games and enjoy surrealist atmospheres.

Year Walk is amazing if you can see past
the horrible and unnecessary jump scares. The game is tense and cool enough as it is. they make me so mad.
Also, most of the amazing-ness is the post-game stuff. So don't skip that.

Yes, it's been down for me earlier today with error messages too.

I wish valve would do something about community part of inventory and community in general, something needs to be done, obviously

Apparently it's been "designed to look and feel like a picture book, but parents beware: it’s a picture book for grown-ups like Go the Fuck to Sleep or All My Friends are Dead," so there's that.

honestly? it looks just beware: fuck esthetics way of a picture book
but that's probably only me ;)
 
You can increase your payment to reach the bta.

You could add more to reach BTA (whatever it was at the time you paid) on your order page.

Thanks guys, i didnt know if that possible.


here is the treat for fellow gaffers

- FRACT OSC


I enjoyed my brief time with Year Walk. It wasn't the revolutionary experience everyone made it out to be, but it's acceptably creepy with great atmosphere.

Lovely Planet will smack you silly with a neon-colored balloon while japanese text pours over you like a waterfall. And you will love every minute of it.

MIND was... well, it's a pretty game for sure. The original script was riddled with 'Dear Esther'-isms, but nowhere near as well written. The VA for the lead was downright awful. Puzzles are barely an obstruction, but they do give you something to occupy yourself with. I've heard the dev recently patched in a re-written script with a lot of the fluff cut out, so it might be much better now. My full thoughts here.

Eidolon was close to making my Game of the Year spot, but be forewarned it is a walking simulator. As in, the entire gameplay loop is walking from spot to spot in a massive map that is an analog for northwestern Washington state. There's some light survival elements which require you to eat, hunt, and sleep. The real star of the show is the gorgeous minimalist environment and the incredibly well-written pieces of civilization left behind. Stuff like online journals, letters written to dead relatives, an ongoing police investigation, among other things. They actually brought on a lot of different writers to contribute as a certain character or theme, so they really do stand out from each other. My full thoughts here.

FRACT OSC... man, what a trip. Truly an interactive Fantasia for the modern age. A living, breathing demoscene tape. The entire world is a giant synthesizer, and you need to solve puzzles to bring the entire machine back online. If you are even slightly a fan of IDM, you need this. As you progress, the machine starts giving you access to a DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) back in the main "room" you start the game in. It gives you access to a step sequencer and a whole host of tweaks and tools. Not the most robust tool ever, but an awesome and fun way to get into making music. My full thoughts here.

If I'd known it had those I wouldn't have entered the raffle. I am really not a fan of those.

Talking about Year Walk... why exactly ingame journal has password protection? Because I don't remember said password, obviously (._.)

Only missing Eidolon and FRACT so I'll pass but it's a damn good start of the new bundle-year.

I was about to pick it for fract but then I remembered that I already bought more than enough games as it is (><)
Still it is a good bundle.
 
Happy New Year folks!
You know what this means, we gotta celebrate with Speedrunners!
The holiday sale have almost passed and you better have bought it already and had time to practice.
This time around though, you only need to win a total of 3 rounds in all races to win a free game of my choice, 6 rounds = 2 games and so on.
I'm really rusty and I suck at that new map, so it's your golden chance to win some free games!

Challengers:

* billmcdougal
* salazar547

Also joining another challenge for myself, 52 games a year, with a small twist.
Going through my backlog in order I bought the games.

Same, but I grabbed BTA anyways for the DRM free copies. FRACT OSC has been on sale at GOG for $3.79 before so I'll probably wait on a sale for that.

Happy New Year folks!

You unlock it in new game plus for the true ending.
If you've beaten it, look on the side of your map for the hint to the answer and then look where it tells you to.

Dont we need a new thread for January?

Mr.orange said it would be up after the sale ends.
