Hmmm
I miss the olden days of Steam gifting T_T
I know a secret trick that will save you around 80$
Delete everything but Cuphead
Finished The Evil Within 2. Really enjoyed it. Took my like 16 hours doing everything but finding all the keys. Overall a big improvement over the first one. It played better, looked way better and the more personal story was also a good choice. It even avoided the RE7 problem of completely turning into a shooter in the back half. Only real problem is that they still left story threads from the first one hanging, which kinda sucks if this is all the Evil Within we will ever get.

$20 in Canadia bux, damn
Definitely not, otherwise I'd finally buy it. GOTY is 27.99 for us.
So, how is The Witcher 3 similar to a VN? I'm assuming it's mainly because of the tags but idk.
It's probably because it's story rich.

Story-rich tag or something.So, how is The Witcher 3 similar to a VN? I'm assuming it's mainly because of the tags but idk.
Steam's recommendation engine is awful, to the point that I question why it's there at all.
For example, top game in the strategy tag right now? Ghost Recon: Wildlands. Recommended because of my time with Total War: Warhammer 2.
Average review score is in that range, I would guess.
The 1-10 and 1-100 review scale for games sort of works like this:
- 1x. Broken (objectively)
- 2x. Broken (subjectively)
- 3x. Broken (arbitrarily)
- 4x.Awful
- 5x. Bad
- 6x. Average (bad)
- 7x. Average (good)
- 8x. AAA marketing goal / Good
- 9x. Very Good / Best Mathematical Determination
- 100. Perfection by all arbitrary definitions
The 1-5 scale makes more sense:
- 1. Awful
- 2. Bad
- 3. Mediocre
- 4. Good
- 5. Very Good
And the thumbs scale makes the most sense:
- Thumbs Down: Not recommended
- Thumbs Up: Recommended
Isn't this the cheapest it's ever been?

I was in the middle of creating new shadow in Killer Instinct when game suddenly gave me "can't upload data to Ultratech server" error and refused to react in any way. At first i thought that Microsoft fucked up, but now i can't upload screenshot to Steam Cloud either, so i guess something is going on with Steam. Steamstat.us insisting that everything is fine, but i see angry messages in activity feed from my friends, so i guess it's not just me.
Time to download it, I'm really curious and know basically nothing about it.
What a smart man he is.

Creeping Terror has a Steam page (thanks lashman)
Yup that's a 3DS title, alright.

Reviews arent that bad yet (only 7) http://www.metacritic.com/game/pc/elex
But if you didnt play Risen 2 or 3 than yea you should have waited. If you did play Risen 2 or 3 and you still wanted to buy day 1 then you will be okay.
Seems like pretty much a typical PB game, bit more open ended and bigger in scope. I would wait at least a few months for patches, but otherwise you pretty much get what you expect.

What's the deal with Quake Champions and Elder Scrolls Online in this month's bundle again? I'll probably keep my subscription but it seems like Quake is pretty stingy... At least ESO is a gigantic mmo.

IGN of course!
Just kidding...I think.
I just put my monthly on hold for this month
Very generous, if no one has picked up The Flame in the Flood by the time you'll see this then I will. If it's not available anymore, then I'm good.

Gothic 3s main character voice acting and emoting is one of my favorites.
if that was in Xcom you'd still fail to apply the effect.

I want to say this is a easter egg, considering it's call Hexwalker and looks like someone messed with the stats with a hex editor.
Should be $24.99, maybe 25.24 if they wanted to be extra about the couple cents over $25 the conversion is. The Canadian store does not love us.
Finished the story portion of Assassin's Creed Rogue. Kind of a bummer that the ending had been spoiled for me, but having
. Other than that, this has to be the most creatively bankrupt AC game in the series. I still enjoy it, but man.
66% completion at the moment, bunch of forts, some hunting/crafting and lots of collectables left.
Shay be the Templar who kills Arno's dad is actually a really neat story beat

Counter-Strike is now the top strategy tag game.
Steam, you're killing me.
This has reminded me... At a certain point, giving epic names and descriptions to everything Talion finds kind of undermines the whole concept of epic items. Total Warhammer has the same problem where every item is some ancient artifact of untold power that gives like, +5 damage or something and is easily replaced by a dozen other, more "ancient" items.
ARPG loot should not be in every game. Because even in the best of them, you'll see stuff like this:

Is Grim Dawn better than Titan Quest?
I like those odds.

So Zachtronics is apparently releasing a new game on Early Access in a couple of days. Came out of nowhere it seems:

ETA: It looks reminiscent of The Sequence:

At least Total Warhammer has quests for the unique magical items, which are generally multistage and usually lead to fun set piece battles. That makes the important magical items feel actually important and special.

Which combination of classes gives a Death Knight?
Slayaway Camp iOS ($1.99) is 100% landing on my GOTY list.
It's made by former PopCap vets and has the clean, slick presentation, personality & polish to prove it. Controls like a dream on my iPhone Plus. And the dev keeps adding new free content post launch.
What a great game.

Hm, looks like a fleshed-out version of The Codex of Alchemical Engineering, a browser-based game he made a while ago. Looks like more great stuff from him, though.
