Judging by the video the only "shocking" thing about the game seems to be the name.
The "various ways" to commit suicide in that game seem to be "jumping from a cliff", "lighting yourself on fire", "running into a grenade". Somehow all gameplay that modern AAA games have.

For some reason I am reminded of this game that is releasing on Steam soon, be forwarned that it contains disturbing imagery

That Death Penalty game is back in my account, labeled complimentary.
Boss Doggie
all my loli wolf companions are so moe
I think it's more hilarious that no one actually has heard of the game until then, and like a festering pimple people jump into it like some opportunity.
it seems to be back in my library too, not labeled as complimentary though
steam reviews are annoying me lately, it seems they have lost all meaning.
I talked about my problems with giving bad reviews because a game didnt run for you (that doesnt help me know if the game is good because for me it runs fine), but I can understand that, but with the rise of review bombs as a "tool", or the fact that every fucking anime titty game has instant positive reviews because its tittie, just makes the whole thing meaningless.

What if the anime titty games are good?
It should be marked as complimentary (vs retail/cd-key) on account details
That's how games unrevoked by Valve appear.
then we have a very different definition of what good is, which is fine I guess, but Steam (and Steamgaf sometimes) is making me fall hard on the "anime was a mistake" camp, and thats coming who used to be huge anime fan.
how do you do that?

holy shit :O
oh can even add tags, added nudity and the anime trash disapeared
guess ill take the hit of not seeing Rust in the store if it gets rid of the rest.
It's not working for me sometimes though. Some titles slip through even if the tag should trigger it to disappear.
Iirc blocking tags doesn't outright block everything, but only reduces the amount you see of games with that tag.
Or something like that.

You can specifically disable games with nudity by toggling checkbox with "disable nudity" option right before tags field.holy shit :O

Humble Store sale ends in about 6 hours!
https://www.humblebundle.com/store/the-disney-afternoon-collection
Do consider buying it if it interests you as the 6 games in it are well worth the asking price

It's five good to great games and the torture that is TaleSpin.
Tizoc

Well TaleSpin isn't THAT bad. I still say that were one to hack the game they could rebalance it to be less frustrating.

I slowly come to the realization that some people somehow hate the Steam store because it shows "trash anime games" along with asset-flips and put them in the same category.

"Trash anime" is redundant.

I definitely bought it especially since I'm subscribed to the Humble Monthly. It's funny, I never played NES Ducktales before and my childhood revolved around the NES era.
Some people are happy to push buttons on the machine and see what lights up. Others need the veneer of context to cover up the gears.
And it's not coming to PC right?
Unless it was announced while I wasn't looking?
This is why I need my porn games translated. If only SakuraGames would put some effort into it.

There is a game inspired by Fantasy General and released in 2007, it's called Fantasy Wars - http://store.steampowered.com/app/63900/Fantasy_Wars/ 10 years ago i tried to play it but dropped it quickly after first missions, because it was too freaking hard for me even on lowest difficulty. Currently I'm trying to replay it, and oh boy, this game is still insanely hard. I managed to beat first 2 campaigns on easy difficulty, had to make few weeks pause before last campaign missions because they demanded no casualties while fighting against x5 more hordes of enemies, but i did it after several tries. Recently i started last, 3rd campaign, and holy shit, that's some absolutely insane level of difficulty, literally every mission is like last missions from previous campaigns. I'm suck at tactics, but i can beat strategy games when i really want to - but i can't even imagine how it's possible to complete 90% of missions in this game with Gold score, AI have no mercy even on easy difficulty and never miss opportunity to fuck you over.

So I have some weird issue where Steam has "missing file privileges" on certain game .exes, and I discovered that deleting the locked file lets the update normally procede OK. But I have also just discovered that it can sometimes cause an endless update loop.
So if y'all ever have a game trapped in a weird update loop (where the update is downloaded and it's just doing the disk thing to apply the changes to the game, going from 0 to 100% and back again) and it just won't stop... simply restart your computer. This is also the solution to missing file privileges.
I should really figure out why this happens some time.
They were neat games, worth playing for a few bucks. But with Age of Wonders 3 is better in every conceivable way, it's hard not to recommend just putting those dollars towards it instead. It is a much beefier, more polished, and more fun product.

I completed Elven Legacy a looong time ago, it was an flawed Fire Emblem-y sort of game IIRC. Had interesting roleplaying/multiple path stuff, and cool units. I think it's from the same developer. The expansion packs were way too hard for me and I had to drop it.

You're completely allowed to just whiff one one every now and then. Ducktales was a staple game growing up for me. Haven't been back to play it but I remember it just firing on all cylinders.
Weirdly, my whiff was a little later in the SNES gen. Loved FF2. Didn't hate Mystic Quest (be gone haters.) Knocked out most Chrono Trigger endings. Dumped a ton of time doing the absurd things you had to do in Ogre Battle to get the legendary sword to give to the person to do the thing on the remote tiny part of the map for an ending.
Didn't even try to play Final Fantasy III, NA numbering. It wasn't until much later that I went back and played it. I have no good reason why, but I'm sure it plays into why FF2 > FF3 to me.

Tekken 7 is $26.50 at GamersGate right now. All-time cheapest legit site price, I believe.

Yes Fantasy Wars and Elven Legacy were made by same developer, Ino:Co. Moreover, it's actually the same series and universe - this games were originally published in RU/CIS region under "Codex of War" title. After publishing on the west market for some reason first game got Fantasy Wars name, while first standalone expansion got name Elven Legacy. So, after all titles change fuckery, this is what we have now:
Fantasy Wars - first game in series, "Codex of War", released in 2007
Elven Legacy - first expansion to "Codex of War", originally "Codex of War: Elven", released in 2007
Elven Legacy: Ranger - second expansion to "Codex of War", originally "Codex of War: Ranger", released in 2008
Elven Legacy: Siege - third expansion to "Codex of War", released in 2008
Elven Legacy: Magic - fourth expansion to "Codex of War", released in 2009

I asked for impressions several times in different places, apparently it was completely ignored and reviews on steam even if positive mention that it is a flawed game, so IDK.
Probably just will wait until it's dirt cheap and see for myself.

I am watching the ACG review on youtube, it looks pretty good for 15 bucks. I think I will bite.

It's a nice giveaway, but why do you and many others separate dlcs from the main game?
That's the only way it works, no? Unless there is a "complete edition" or something like that.
Ronabo
Member
I have no idea what you mean? If you don't have the DLC try and win it. If you want the DLC and the main game go for both.

Well you have separate keys so I dont know how it would be possible with modbot to do it all together.

They already made that for the PS3, and it's called Demon's Souls!

You can just PM the other key to the winner.

Probly because these keys came from bundles like Bundlestars where they have the base game and DLC with individual keys. I believe it's only one Key per entry. Sure, the person giving them away can put up a message thru ModBot like "hit me up if you want the complete package" but that's really up to the person raffling them off. Most of the time, people just want to get rid of their keys they aren't going to use.
