Indiegala has Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin for $6.99. Seems like a pretty good deal. I never got through DS2; I was disappointed by it at launch and dropped off, but I grabbed this and will give it another shot.

Since Saturday, I've been giving Fallout 4 a break to cheat on my Steam backlog with . . . my PS4 backlog. The more I play Uncharted, the more I wonder why in this age of Tomb Raider reboots and Uncharted games, we haven't seen Disney farm out the rights to Indiana Jones games to some studio to do a quasi-TombCharted clone series. The gameplay on both are a lot of fun.

IDK what Disney's AAA game strategy is, but it is not good. We should be getting hit with big release Star Wars and Marvel games at least once a year, not to mention their other IP.
I think they are just super shy of the bad media that less than perfect games might bring to their very valuable brands. The loot boxes in Battlefront 2 were bad, but it could be worse.
Also there's a lot more competition when it comes to good game IP compared to movies.

While the games have been done well enough I don't know if they've done well enough for people to want to make a bandwagon and jump on it. Not everyone's a fan of that style of linear cinematic style game and I often come across players who played the older Tomb Raider games lamenting that a lot of the more open level design from the classic games is gone. I love the new take on Lara as a character but one of my fondest memories of the series was running around desperately shooting a T-Rex trying to maul me so I can understand people who think something has been lost.
Plus Indiana Jones's more recent films haven't exactly generated a lot of positive buzz so that limits the market for that license a bit. It's a harder sell if the only Indy movie that's come out in a gamer's life time is Crystal Skull.

I suppose that's true, though they seem to be doing well in their own realm. Also, I enjoyed Crystal Skull, as well as the other films. I just feel like "truly supernatural adventures in an adventure serial style" would be a fantastic direction for a game studio to go with the Uncharted/Tomb Raider formula. Like, At least Tomb Raider 2013 went a bit more real with their approach up until, like, the eleventh hour, and at least the first Uncharted (this is my first time through) seems to be taking a "legendary but explainable" route. The Jones mcguffin was always truly supernatural in nature, and was always an object. That's what I'm hankering for.
I feel like it's more that they just don't have anyone that knows what to do with the story, nor how to adapt it for video games.

That previously was a theme of Tomb Raider. That T-Rex battle? From the original game. Which ended with a chase to Atlantis.
Rise had the mystical elements more front and center but you didn't actually interact with it until the end.
I think the writing staff is still trying to figure out how much of the classic Tomb Raider weirdness they can bring in while still having grounded characters. It's never really clear how accepted the supernatural bits are in the new setting as no one seemed to really bat an eye at the weird stuff happening at the end of the reboot and it's never explained if Lara's father was shunned because of focusing on a supernatural doohickey or focusing on a supernatural doohickey that was considered crazy even by supernatural doohickey standards.
Apparently the games to be added next week to Tier 2 (BTA) have been leaked:
Nex Machina
Human Fall Flat
Flat Kingdom Paper's Cut Edition
If you're on the money Hit it, then my nod goes towards getting the BTA tier for N++ and Nex Machina. Both will grind your soul to dust, but in a good way. Bloody fantastic soundtracks too, NM especially as it keeps a constant tempo which makes it good for gym stuff.

I sort of feel like Disney needs to acquire or build a good, solid game studio with all the money they've apparently got now. They've got so many potentially good games that aren't being made because (or at least this seems like the because) they don't have a good handle on video games in the first place. I feel like Walt would have seen all this new tech to make stories and be pissed that they weren't using it.

Hmm, not really sure what game to play/stream tomorrow. I'm burning through my library quickly. I've already beaten several games on stream. One thing about streaming is that it gives you an excuse to play through games that you had put on the backburner. I was hoping I was going to hear back about the Alpha for Survived By, but I guess not.

To keep this on topic, for those that may not know, my avatar is from Total War: Rome II, which is one of my most played games of all time (as my Steam profile can attest), and which is still getting DLC! https://youtu.be/YhKhntVPbZ0
I ran out of lives in 1001 spikes halfway through Antartica, and the game doesn't truly 'game over' you, but it does essentially make you wait an extra minute every three lives to continue, so I think I'm going to consider it 'complete' since I arguably beat the main game and fully devote my time into finishing a Darkest Dungeon run.

Monster girl meyroidvania? I cannot remember the name though....
Right now, I'm leaning toward Child of Light, which is a game in my library that I have never played before. Had to have been a gift from one of you that I overlooked. It's apparently a turn-based RPG & it looks beautiful. Has really positive reviews & apparently a great soundtrack too. Something different that will look pretty on stream & (hopefully) be more chill as I've been doing a lot of action sort of stuff lately (other than Portal). Between Friday the 13th, Mad Max & Saints Row... there's been a lot of murder.
I went through all of saved pictures & can't find who gifted me the game though, which makes me look like an ungrateful heathen. I'm sorry.
EDIT: It was from @Gear Girl for my birthday in 2016.
The movement speed and flashiness make RUINER a visual cacophony in a really good way. I don't care about i-frames or melee range, I'm dashing around, hacking and blasting goons to pieces far too fast in an amphetamine frenzy to care.
There is an ability to drop-pod in a weapon of your choosing every 25 seconds. I have no damned idea when you're supposed to slow down for even a moment to use it, and keep an eye on refresh timer ticking down. Pointless! Kill! Steal their weapon! Kill again!
There is an ability that gives you unlimited dashes while active, but uses energy at a high rate. There is another ability that increases your reflexes (read: time dilation) and lethality that also uses your energy. Finally, there is a passive ability that recharges extra energy upon killing an enemy. This game has many delectable synergies like this one muahahaha

There is a lot of love out there for HITMAN and with this offering we hope that many more will fall in love with the game. We believe that this is Hitman at its best.

The download includes absolutely everything that we've released for that location; two story missions (including all cut-scenes), two Escalation Contracts, more than 40 challenges, 17 achievements and trophies, plus thousands of player-created missions in Contracts Mode - all of that is now available completely free of charge.
Players who download the ICA Facility for free will be able to keep all of their progress when they upgrade to the full game - plus we've lined up some discounts on the full game to make this a great time to buy. We're talking up to 60% off on some platforms!
I saw the link beforehand to something on Twitter about a Tomb Raider remake? Looks broken.
Now it just looks like he's yelling at me for saying I'm going to spend my wife's money...
So a company called Realtech VR was apparently making enhanced versions of Tomb Raider 1, 2, and 3, which sits atop the PC DOS versions of the games. They had Youtube videos of it running. They tweeted today that S-E said "nope" and thus took down their videos.
Now the tweet has been deleted so who knows.

Seriously. But it's not just that. I mean, their revived Ducktales cartoon could easily be adapted into an amalgam of the Uncharted-style traversal with the Telltale adventure game chat and puzzles to find the treasure of the game episode, and done well it would be fun and make kids feel smart. They could even include quicktime style battle events, and allow each character to have an "episode". And from the sound of things, they're evaluating bringing back other "Disney Afternoon" cartoons that I think would benefit from similar treatment. I'm not talking or worrying so much about "the popular stuff" in that vein, since adventure games are already niche, as are Telltale games, but I'm just imagining standing in an old temple as Scrooge, and walking around talking to "the lads" and getting a different response from each of them; Huey pulls out the Guidebook to consult it for clues on how to open the way, Louie sips out of a coconut while off-handedly saying that this is all too much work, Dewey thinks they should climb the pillars, then Huey notices the symbols at the top of the room, and finally, Webby offers to shoot her grappling gun up so Scrooge can get up top.

Disney had an in house studio for non-mobile games, until Disney Infinity killed it, so it's taken them awhile to get their act together.
EA got the exclusive Star War license, so Star Wars games are only going to come out when EA puts them out.
Disney has a few Marvel projects being worked on by other studios. (Spider-Man at Insomniac, Avengers at Crystal Dynamix)
Stuff like Indiana Jones can be sat until until when (or if) a new movie or TV show or whatever comes out.
