Craig H Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 A gamepad? Shit. Between learning about Elite: Dangerous and now that I can play X-Wing Alliance again, I'm contemplating on buying a flight stick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cliff Hanger Posted February 3, 2015 Author Share Posted February 3, 2015 Oniken is $1.59 this week. Its audience is limited ("people who loved the NES Ninja Gaiden games and/or Vice: Project Doom") but it's well-enough done as an homage to that type of game that it's well worth the coin for fans.

Death From Above Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Does KoToR have a mod community on PC because if so... man. That really was some game. Might be worth buying again. I still have an old XBox and both the KoToR games, as well as Battlefront II which is also awesome. Hell, Battlefront II was my favourite XBox game for a while there.

Jiji Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Steam has Alien Isolation at a 75% discount. If you were on the fence, hop on over to the purchasing Isolation side. Ridiculous deal. Sale ends in an hour though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirSmUgly Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Bundle Stars has a great Indie Legend bundle: Eight games for 3.99. Monaco, Guacamelee, and Divekick are part of the bundle. http://www.bundlestars.com/ I have been waiting to play Guacamelee, and it's pretty fantastic. 2D Metroid with luchadores is a winning concept, well-executed.

misanthrope304 Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 So I hear there's nerd rage uncorking at Steam/Valve because a thing about paying for mods or something? I'm not sure, haven't really researched it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Death From Above Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Haha that paid mods thing sure didn't last long. The defenses of even attempting it were so great. "I deserve to be compensated", says one guy in PC gamer I've never heard of in the mod community. If you actually believed that you'd have done a lot more research into the laws and regulations of pro bono employment before modding for a decade. I say that as someone that wrote a few of my own mods over the last decade. I honestly wasn't even bothered by it because it seemed so obvious it was going to crash and burn from the moment it was announced. Valve has done some really weird things the last couple years. The BURNING INDIGNATION over it was a bit silly, but really no sillier than attempting to do it in the first place. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supremebve Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 I didn't really mind people wanting to sell their mods, based purely on the fact that some of these people have done shitloads of work on these mods. I don't understand why people get all butt hurt over people wanting to be paid for their work and/or time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death From Above Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 The thing I found weird about the whole thing, and I didn't look into this much (because this whole thing seemed to come and go within a week). How did Steam plan to enforce this on any wide scale when the Skyrim Nexus, for all intents and purposes, IS the mod community and is a completely separate site? Would going into the pay program essentially have meant giving up access to promoting your work through the Nexus? Because if that was the case, the Steam workshop never had the capacity to handle certain large mods (ie, the giant weapon and armor packs full of texture files, some of the larger NPC mods), because they were way over the Steam Workshop file size limit. So if they weren't going to have a fair percentage of the most popular mods, what were they going to monetize? I know there are a lot of other games that were potentially involved in this but Skyrim is still puling 40 000 players a day and that's the game this was really about here. I think the whole thing is more in the category of "badly thought out" than "actually harmful idea". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Death From Above Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Makes sense, it seems like it would be required to have really got the most out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mistah Na1m4rk Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 It was still a dumb idea and to their credit Valve shut it down pretty quickly once the community made itself heard. Valve has done an enormous service to small and independent developers with its Greenlight and Early Access options, this was a bad idea made, I like to think, in the same spirit.

Death From Above Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Even with Greenlight... it's theoretically a good idea. And don't get me wrong there have been some great games that have been approved through the greenlight campaign. I can't remember what offhand is in my own catalogue from it other than Hammerwatch, but I'm confident saying there have been a lot of small company winners. But even then I really wish they would crack down on "vote for our game on Greenlight and we guarantee* you a fee key when we get on Steam". (*"guarantee" being awfully open to interpretation more often than not). Having said that, on the whole it's absolutely been a positive. It's a really solid way for smaller developers to get distributed to a massive audience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shane Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Current Humble Bundle is an "All Stars" edition, with World of Goo, Dustforce Dx & Super Meat Boy. More than the (current) average of $4.86 gets you Limbo, Braid, and Dungeon Defenders. More than $5.86 gets Risk of Rain and Antichamber. As such, I have extra Steam keys for Dungeon Defenders and Risk of Rain. Anyone looking for them? PM me an email address and I'll happily kick one or both your way. Heck, I think it was someone here who gifted me my copy of Dingeon Defenders, so I'll happily pay it forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
