Skyrim's normal price has been dropped to $39.99.

 

[Megasoum]

Yeah, but it feels amazing seeing him crawl up to PC in this way. I'm slapping him in the face with my pre-order money.

With a fish? lol Fun fact, his real name is Philippe Poisson... Poisson being the french word for Fish.

 

[InertiaXr]

According to steam prices, it's never been lower than $6.24 through steam. It's a steamworks game however and I'm not sure if it has been on sale (in dollars) somewhere else, gmg, gamersgate or something for less.

You can use steamgamesales.com to check prices on individual games at all major DD stores. Looks like $6.24 is the lowest price it's ever been.

Fez on PC is a lot like you going to a strip club and seeing a girl who was mean to you in high school. Like, you know you shouldn't revel in it and you'll feel bad about it afterward, but damned if you aren't gonna make her dance for you.

Cart life sounded pretty fun from the Idle Thumbs discussion, might check it out... which really means "i'll wait for the eventual bundle"

Perfection.

Phil Fish is seriously one of the most pretentious guy I've seen, so annoying.

His games are pretty solid though.

I've sunk 60 hours into Binding of Isaac, and I still like to play every once in a while.

Fez looks amazing as well, and I've heard it was quite an experience to discover its secrets.

The guy across the hallway in my dorm in college basically had this happen. She cheated on him senior year of high school and next thing you know he got a free ride to med school and she got addicted to meth and had to strip to pay for her kid.

Well it's actually kind of sad...

Someone retweet that to #edmund so he can appreciate #godlike #gamedesign from #phil.

Huh, Fish didn't make Binding of Isaac btw.

 

[Grief.exe]

hahahaahaha

fuck me right

Why do I always get Fish and Edmund McMillen mixed up?

I have no idea.

 

[Volcynika]

Is this some sort of joke I'm missing?

[fallout]

Is no one else sad that Fish had to compromise his vision to get Fez on PC?

What did he have to compromise? When I talked to him at PAX 2011, he was lamenting the fact that he'd have to wait to get the game out on PC. He seemed genuinely bummed out about it.

 

[Dice]

Is this some sort of joke I'm missing?

Yes, a walking joke of a man.

 

[dark_inferno]

He wants profit? Let us start a "DO-NOT-BUY-FEZ" Campaign.

[Sanjay]

$6.24 for Binary Domain is pretty good. Is that the lowest it's been (without being bundled with other games)?

Think I will wait till the Easter Bunny Steam sale for better savings.

 

[Chronoja]

Or just wait until it's heavily discounted in a sale...minimize his profit

It's never been lower on steam (or as InertiaXr points out, anywhere else), and I doubt it would go lower in the, currently hypothetical, Easter sale.

Can do!

but that is my standard operating procedure anyways.

 

[Nabs]

We forgot all about Joe Danger 2: The Movie. It just got a bump in the registry.

I'm also noticing a bunch of 2k updates. I guess we'll get another publisher weekend soon.

I hope you guys follow through so that the tf2 hat is worth more.

 

[Dr Dogg]

I forgot, what was all that hidden stuff again? Puzzles? Will I need to write things down in order to finish the game?

I'm not sure if I'll enjoy that...

Well without giving too much away the whole

Spoiler

alphabet and numbering systems are hidden in those funny hieroglyphs on all the walls.

At first it looks like a normal texture but later on

Spoiler

you need to have got it worked out to solve certain puzzles and some to get cube pieces.

other than that there are loads of hidden

Spoiler

lore and messages

to work out. As I said though once the penny drops you realise there's quite bit more to this game than meets the eye. Fish maybe be an outspoken, pretentious brat but this game truly had a lot of love put in it.

this is almost as good as the capcom castlevania joke.

 

[Snuggles]

I haven't forgot! JD2 was good, but I'd rather have the first game. I believe that showed up in the registry awhile back, it would be pretty bad ass if they were bundled together.

BD was just $4.99 on Amazon though personally I would just spring for the $1.24 if you already don't own the game.

 

[Kaizen]

PES2014 on Steam would be amazing.

 

[dark_inferno]

I think Neogaf would go down if RDR comes up in the registry. And then 5 Days later R* : "Sry that was a fault".

 

[ipukespiders]

Are all new PC EA games origin only? If so, what was the last steam EA game?

 

[Grief.exe]

Not an outright denial.

 

[Stallion Free]

As far as proper releases go, I think Crysis 2. They have released plenty of games that have 0 dlc or patches exclusively not on Steam so their reasoning for the whole move was complete bullshit.

EA as a company is complete bullshit.

 

[AlphaProspector]

Not an outright denial.

Indeed. That would probably cause a glitch in the Matrix and further downtime.

But, well, with Fez up, we can safely say "The List" was indeed true so...

... it's a matter of time, right?

 

[morningbus]

They still release games on Steam occasionally, just the games they feel can push people to Origin with are exclusive.

They released Sim 3: University on March 5th, for example.

Can we give this man a tag, please? Seriously, read this post. Read. This. Fucking. Post.

The man is a poet. A dirty, bad-mouthed, filthy one. And that's why I love him (in a Steam-bros way, not in a fooling-around-in-bed one).

 

[morningbus]

Do you mean how did these games get to skip Greenlight?

Probably because the developers have pretty good/strong relationships with Valve.

[Bluth54]

Greenlight isn't the only method of a game to get released on Steam. Valve still can approve games submitted to them directly by developers/publishers. Greenlight is more for things that they may of missed since they get a lot of junk submissions.

 

[Chronoja]

Sid Meier's Railroads updated in the steam registry about an hour ago. Think it'll come back to steam? More to the point does anyone know why it was removed in the first place?
