Will there be a preorder of Spelunky soon?

Don't know but I'm hoping for a pre-order of Guacamelee soon. Going to do it asap so I don't back out at the last second. The mutant blobs attack included makes it a little more appealing, never played it but it seems fun!

I'm having quite a bit of input lag playing Dead Space both with a controller and with keyboard+mouse. Anyone know if that can be fixed?

Edit: Never mind, turning off V-Sync fixed it.

Someone deleted my comment for one of the available copies of LoS. What a shitty little cunt.

That's not right indeed fellow GAFfer, what a shame. Some people really do not understand how a fair community works.

Hope you can get a copy for a decent price.

Idk, I think some stuff on Guacamelee was borderline racist in a its ok-cause-we're-selfaware stereotype way and the reddit meme stuff was cringe-inducing

then again I get equally kinda-offended at stuff like tropico so maybe im just a whiny south american

gameplay's great tho, i'll probably get it
 
Finally completed the third level! Only took 3 hours.

Of course YOU would get offended by it.

But instead issues more like soldier not firing when they appear to have clear lines of sight, inability to tell when soldiers clear a corner when moving around it, stuff like that. Even with the preview turn button I kept running into these types of issues that hurt my enjoyment of the game. I enjoyed a few hours of it, but I dropped it after that and didn't feel a big need to go back to it.

Ah, that's weird. Did you use V to see the vision lines and the weapons' range? Did you use the enemy soldiers during the previous as well? Usually those two things have prevented me from running into the issues you mention. What I love about the game is precisely that I think it's totally clear about everything you need to factor in your strategy, and when something bad happens you can only blame yourself for not having predicted it as there's always a way to plan ahead and avoid death.

meme stuff didn't bother me so much, it was all background. There was better humor in the game quest and world that was much more front and center.

I can't speak towards the racism because I'm milquetoast white. I would say that given their location I doubt many of the team have had much first-hand experience with Latin American culture.

gameplay is great. so goddamned hard though.

I aint even Mexican, but I just think it's tiring at this point. LUCHADORES TALKING TACOS VIVA METROIDVANIA yaddayadda

Tropico is arguably more concerning, but at the same time I kinda dig that they get away with that shit and no one says anything about it

My record is around 44 hours, I think. I could have beaten Deus Ex or any Mass Effect in that time :/

It looks like FLUX is the next Bit.Trip game to hit Steam.
No surprise, given that it's the only one missing. It's also the best (so sorry, Runner, but it's the truth). Hope it happens soon!

If anyone from Gaijin is listening, I'd pay sweet money to have the Complete bonus challenges as DLC on Steam.

How many games do we get with personality though?

Okay, you get an email if someone resolves your comment in Dunder Store. So there's no denying it was Basem Fares.

How much was Dunder selling castlevania for

$14.

I could really use a good 'murica send up indie game.

sure, but wait till every game taking place in America does it!

im really not personally offended by Guacamelee or any of this, I just kinda think it's done and uninspired.

I can see complaints about latent racism, but Guacamelee seems pretty inspired to me. More so than the vast majority of games these days.

I took the liberty to resolve it and put it back.

This should not be tolerated. I have contacted Dunder on Steam about it.

EDIT: Dunder has blacklisted him.

in terms of everything surrounding that; sure. I love the art style, I like the systems, gameplay's very solid, etc etc
