There being a lot of TPSs is true, but Uncharted-like ones? I don't see many of the latter. Besides, TR 2013 was my first Uncharted-like game, and I liked it a lot, much more than the actual Uncharted (which I played early this year, and am currently going slowly through the sequel). I wish there were more games like it.

I don't think any of those games play like TR2013. The first two are open world games with other things tied to them, the last is just a meh RPG.
TR2013 and Uncharted come from the same lineage as Gears of War, which itself pulls heavily from RE4. So it's 3rd person shooters with a set, narrow campaign path and over the shoulder shooting mechanic. of them, TR2013 is probably the most open of the lot with the last of us coming up right behind it.

I ain't trying to pay outrageous prices for 3. Is just so lame since the reason for the pull was GFWL keys, keys that MS owns. Oh well I have Anniversary which is the best game still anyway.
April 21st for the early access, but what is the release date? PC Gamer seem to think they posted the actual release date based on the title of the news, but they then only talk about early access.
Oh I know, but we really shouldn't treat early access as release date and it's even worse when a gaming website thinks release date and early access date are equivalent.
April 21st is the release date for Early Access.
No way for Tripwire to know the final release date for the game at this point. They likely have estimates for budgetary purposes, but can't lock down anything definitive.
Seems like you are calling them out for arbitrary reasons. The article is very clear about the Early Access nature of the release.

Germany is a big place, my friend.
You can try torrenting the pre-crack version, moving it to your steamapps folder and verify license, I believe.

Yeah, I said people seemed to like it not that the new TR is bad. TPS feel very similar to me. I played the Uncharted series and while being very polished and good-looking it still is a TPS for me. From what I saw of the new TR, it feels very similar as a TPS. The world-design is cool and different but in the end it is a "regular" TPS for me.
How do you define Uncharted-like ones if you mind? I am thinking of being a TPS. It is of great quality and especially the second and third have some beautiful levels and set-pieces but at its core it is just a good TPS. Not that special or groundbreaking. It was truly great fun and the levels kept on surprising me.

I just realized this has been on my wish list for a while. I really like the look and concept of the game. For $0.74 it should be a no brainer, but I tell myself why spend money now knowing that I'm not playing any of the dozens of unplayed games I already own, and knowing that I likely won't be playing this one any time soon.
Is it good in short bursts and allows you to jump right in quickly (i.e. no loading or splash screens, like Super Hexagon)?
My idea was to receive the Bluray trought a letter by the Deutsche Post
The article itself is about early access, but my problem is the the headline/title of the article which literally says "Killing Floor 2 release date revealed" and that's just false, no release date has been revealed. The whole article is about early access, why doesn't the title mention that fact at all?
I've always hated news articles with false titles, clickbaits, however you want to call them but this one really irritated me for whatever reason. I guess it's the fact that the more we see this, the more acceptable it is to think that early access is actual proper release date and I think we shouldn't accept that type of thinking at all.
Case in point, I have backed quite a few kickstarter projects and these days it is pretty much acceptable to say during the kickstarter that the planned release date is for example Aug 2015 but come Aug 2015, they simply release early access version and that's that. I know kickstarter projects are almost always delayed but it still doesn't mean you met your projected release date if you manage to release an early access version by that date.
In both the examples listed, the Kick starter and PC gamer article, the author is assuming the reader is going to read the entire article.
Both article titles and Kickstarter tier descriptions, are designed to get the point across quickly and concisely. The author does not want to overload either with descriptors, as that is accounted for with information in the main article.
That is why I find your criticisms arbitrary. The Early Access release date is a release date for that version of the game. It is both assumed you, as an informed gamer, will realize this, but the information is always listed in depth in the article in question.
By the way, a clickbait article is where the author uses a fallacy or hyperbolic statement in order to get people to read the article.
For example, the recent Wired article titled, 'Star Citizen - Fans Have Dropped $77 million on this buggy, half-finished game.' No matter your stance on the development of Star Citizen, you must realize that the game is still ~2 years from release, rendering the article ridiculous, ignorant, and embarrassing.
PC Gamer leaving Early Access out of the title when it is prominently featured in the article as well as all prior press releases from Tripwire is not click bait. The author likely saw it as a redundancy and left it out.

Are Gaben Dollars the ones you make selling stuff on the steam market (I never done that)?
The very same.

So I only have cards... do I sell them? turn them to gems? What's the catch and what's the point? /totalnoob
Help me pop my Gaben cherry.

Well, that depends. You can either keep the cards and buy/trade the ones missing in order to complete badges or just sell them in the market and get steam wallet money. Completing badges increases your Steam level and gives you things like an increased friends list size and profile backgrounds, etc.

You can sell the cards. You can turn them into gems, which in turn can be used to craft booster packs to get more cards (one pack per game per day.) You can turn them into gems, create a sack of 1000 gems, and sell the sack. You can complete card sets to get other things such as backgrounds and emoticons, as well as increase your Steam level, which apparently increases the chance of getting booster packs (although it's apparently so small nobody can even tell if this is true or not.)
Card and gem prices stay roughly in line with one another, but in general you'll probably get more selling the cards.
Richard Cobbett has an amusing crap shoot on Mystery of the Druids.

Thanks, that's helpful! Can you regain cards you sell or convert via in-game drops? Or are they gone forever unless you buy them?
I know what it is. I just never cared for cards before, and I'm not sure I like the idea of getting all cards from a game without playing it.
Not on Steam. Come on, Valve. Let publishers control release states already.

They are gone forever unless you buy or trade other things/cards for them.

Damn, I'm really unlucky with all the alphas or betas that I really want in. Tried my hand at getting in the Way of the Samurai 4 beta, nope, tried here, nope.
I got this one on twitter from Ubi PR guy XD and he told me that there is no embargo.

Nice, they must be quite sure that the game is in good shape.
It is still in Alpha stage but general feel of the game should be there. But again i know difference and what to expect from Alpha product (i tested few of them) so there is that

You can randomly receive a booster pack from a game (apparently booster packs go out when someone crafts the badge) but that's pretty much the only way to get cards without buying or trading them.

Didn't realize PoE had some controversy. Reading it up... holy shit, people add meaning to stuff that aren't there and then get offended by it.
The sale for the game when it is "being counted" on total sales, etc. on charts.
