Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
[STEAM] Thread 3 - Rise of the Classy Crabs
Posts
I offer another semi-decent deal in penance. LOTR: War in the North is 10 bucks over at Impulse. Solid little co-op game, Steamworks. They had it at that price a month or so ago too when Steam still had the game for 50 bucks, though Steam now has a base price of 20 bucks, so it'll likely be as cheap or cheaper in the summer sale.
I am not a man who buys things based on demo, I prefer hype and peer pressure, so I can blame someone else down the line if its terrible.

Prettier than Sins vanilla and expansions, has new, awesome music, keeps the same ui, and adds just enough flavor to three new offshoot factions to keep everything fresh.
One complaint touted about the previous incarnation was that combat did not have much zip and zoom besides the tiny drones and fighters. No longer! Corvettes have been added, which are fast attack ships about half the size of the light destroyer that zoom around like fighters on attack runs. Also added are Titans, which are enormous, Eve style ships that look mighty fine and get quite a bit done without being hideously powerful.
In great part it is just nice to have all the features from the first two expansions packed into an optomised, prettier version of the same engine, with a bunch of new doodads that don't detract from the experience.
Currently the game is available to play as a Beta to folks who purchase. Four of the six factions are in, the TEC and Advent variants. Squidgy aliens still to come.
Is it telling that after reading this I bought it?
And holy crap, when did I get over 70 games on my wishlist
No need to worry. This sometimes happens when a game's preorder is, for whatever reason, listed as a separate entry in your library before release. Once it unlocks, all will be well.
Count me in on that, hopefully we can all make things red together for classiness!

Origin is the exact same as my Steam, in case you're needing a Support or Assault in BF3.
It was in an indie royale so you might have it as well. The game is a pretty fun/quirky action platformer based around possessing Oogas and using their special abilities to convince other Oogas to join the rebellion again the Boolis.
I made a cameo.
More Magicka DLC? Most of it skins or any actual content stuff?
you have to install the gamefly client though, in case some of you are averse to that.

Hey, some of those robes are the best damn things in the game. You think I'm kidding just throw on the Reservoir Robes (in Pink) then go nuts on your coop buddies. I dare you to tell me it's not awesome after you are done.
This is the list:
14567 Magicka: Other side of the coin 2012-05-08 17:02:30
14568 Magicka: Worlds End Challenge 2012-05-08 17:02:30
14569 Magicka: Robepack megaman 2012-05-08 17:02:30
14570 Magicka: Robepack music 2012-05-08 17:02:30
14571 Magicka: Pieces Gadget pack 2012-05-08 17:02:30
14572 Magicka: Pieces Heirloom pack 2012-05-08 17:02:30
14573 Magicka: Mirror Crystal Cavern Hideout 2012-05-08 17:02:30
14574 Magicka: Volcano Hideout 2012-05-08 17:02:30
So perhaps some challenge or MP maps? Guessing no content like Vietnam or Only the Stars are Left, but a bit better than just robes.
Do you think it's just bad timing? I don't know. Either way gog kind of started it.
I'm willing to bet it originates from the publisher. It's why you'll see a lot of the same sales across various DD systems.
Ohh. That could be.
Then you have the Everything on Steam crowd, which has its own obvious merits that I shouldn't even have to go into here. So it's win/win. GoG and Steam will make piles of money, Remedy will make piles of money, and consumers get two awesome versions to choose from.

The big update probably also explains why Steam's been acting up recently.
Their numbers are greatly exaggerated.

Well, the Alan Wake expandalone is now up for preorder. I imagine that's why the game is getting a heavy sales push rather than Steam trying to squish GOG.
And EVERYONE who read that blog post did so with Cave Johnson's voice. In fact, you're reading this post right now in Cave Johnson's voice. Imagining how you could make life take back their lemons in multiple dimensions as you create and test those new test chambers, and try to keep your job over Mr. Yappers over there, who's pumped out 5x more chambers than you have this week alone.

Click on your game in your library. Click on "Browse the Steam Workshop". In the right hand menu select "Browse by: Most recent" (or whatever your preference). Click whichever ones you want to look at, or just directly click the green + sign to subscribe to it.
I guess you'd be in a position to know. Still I think that while they are a minority, their numbers wouldn't be totally insignificant.
The louder a minority is the larger it seems to be.
