Isn't soliciting upvotes on Reddit a bannable offence? I only mention it as I got warned by a Twitter user when the first Reddit posts were made about Sega ports and I encouraged others to upvote via Twitter.
It'll probably be back once Homefront 2 comes out.
On the bright side, every single one of my posts are now stupid!
As Homefront: Freedom Edition, please, Crytek.
So that new JRPG for Steam is Agarest Zero?

yeah, it's creepy that that rabbid has no ears.

Sorry, I had to.

I wanted to do something original for RPJ and failed miserably.
Agreed. It's a cute little roguelike which is not trying to be anything else.
Don't think so, I've had several mods participate in the past #SegaPCPorts Twitter campaign and did not hear anything negative towards getting upvotes, retweets, etc.
Stump and other mods are fairly active in this thread as well, I'm sure one of them would have let me know to kindly quit.
I would argue that this is a good cause, its not like I made some Borderlands 2 meme post and asking you guys to upvote.
I think he means in reddit tho
Oops I mean bannable on Reddit, not on GAF.

r/gaming a hive for the lowest common denominator
The primary form of communication and dialogue on that forum is through pictures.
Perhaps three years from now Ubi will have a change of heart.
A thought just crossed my mind
...Have you tried e-mailing people? Maybe no one's even aware that the game isn't on Steam anymore :|

Valkyria Chronicles not being highlighted in that petition is some bullshit! I signed it anyways.
I haven't and I'll readily admit that the thought didn't occur to me because I have the game (and DLC) already. I'll fire off an e-mail to Crytek later and will be sure to post any response that I rec--ahahahaha, who am I kidding, I'll just be ignored. But I'll try nonetheless.
Edit: How I got "Crytek" from "Ubi" is a mystery for the ages
(because it's 4:30am)
It actually is there, though not as visible as some of us would want it
My thoughts:
Stallion Free
Cock Encumbered
I think it's worth that price. It's not very well balanced on the harder difficulties but it's a pretty fun spin on the Mass Effect TPS concept on the lower difficulties where the team mate AI can't single-handedly ruin all your hard work in a matter of seconds. The art is gorgeous too and I love the time period/attention to detail.Picked The Bureau for a whopping $2.48 thanks to stacked Amazon credits. I hope it's worthy of my investment

It absolutely isn't. Binding of Isaac and Dredmor are well worth it.

I had everything on the BTA side of the ball so I only got the $1 games this time. I was very pleased with this bundle.

Those are the 2 I already own though. How are Hack, slash, loot and Teleglitch?
Well, it's not like games today aren't being written in C++(C#?), which is pretty portable.
Got some juicy Treasure information.
The difficulty is making that code work with the hardware in a consumer environment that is variable as the PC platform.

Counterpoint: Nixxes, QLoc and whatever other porting studios that exist.
Heck, give this game to Sumo Digital, they handled crazy Outrun 2 codebase just fine.

From the Paradox event
#pdxcon @TheWesterFront says EU4 is comfortably played on Steam controller
from the same person: Watching EU4 being played on a steambox with the steam controller. I am a believer!

The rumour that the PS4 version of Tomb Raider: Separate App Edition averages 60fps has me curious about the strides AMD has made with TressFX. I can't help but get the feeling that Nvidia GPUs are going to get the short end of the stick again, though -- even Nixxes' best efforts can't wash away the effects of politics.
I read it as being portable as in mobile... heh.
So uh maybe a dumb question but do you get the full game of Paranautaical Activity when it's released?

No. It's awesome.

I didn't like them.
Teleglitch is interesting but in my opinion it's way too hard from the off. Also, it's not really a roguelike, it's more of a top down shooter.Its short and doesn't overstay its welcome.
art style is cool.
gameplay is unique in a sense.
UI in minimal.
good game.
It's short (like 2 hours) and not that good in my opinion. Worth a play but not much beyond. I don't think the concept really evolved much beyond the first area.

One thing i'll never get with a lot of the "really indie" indie games in bundles and whatnot is how weaksauce their "boxart" and logos are. They can really look incredibly amateurish... on the order of random DeviantArt fanart crap. Would it kill them to at spend 50 bucks or something on a haflway decent icon and cover art picture? I would imagine it would pay for itself pretty quick. Heck, I would imagine that they could even get someone from fiverr.com to to a better job than they do for a whopping 5 bucks.
Awesome weekly!

I plan to mess with it more tonight (I had to wipe one of my machines last night that was giving me trouble), but I was getting just under 30 FPS streaming Skyrim. I didn't fight a dragon, but in combat it only dropped maybe 2-3 frames at most.
What games did you try? Are you on a wireless or wired network?
Wait, don't bother if you have it already. I know a lot of people there, I can ask directly.
You'd be surprised at the kind of stuff that can happen just because people forgot about it except on an obscure enthusiast forum where madmen collect steam games
You should, that is how all copies of the game sold elsewhere have been.
yes. especially with alot of the greenlight games. the art design in the game itself could look great, but they'll use something that looks like it came from MS Paint as their official graphic.
i actually might start leaving comments on offending games greenlight pages...."hey if you were interested in a graphic upgrade, check out this guy selling on fiverr"
I agree so much with this. Most of the time when I get the indie royale bundle for instance I just glance at the images and go 'urk, no thanks'. They're really hurting themselves. Compare that to the iOS market where some developers rely so much on the icon that their design is actually a good percentage of the game's whole budget - and it works...
LITERALLY
I BROKE INTO THEIR HOUSE AND KNOCKED THE FOOD RIGHT OFF THEIR PLATES
Xenosaga plays quite well on emulators actually.
I wish xenosaga was a better series if namcobandai hadn't stomped on them into oblivion trying to be a FFX killer. Still hasn't stopped me from playing the entire series twice on emulators, and twice on my OG PS2.

So my only experience with roguelikes is FTL and I'm think about getting the Humble Weekly. Yay/nay?

Teleglitch is a top down Doom with rogue-like elements, The level lay-out, enemy mobs and items are all randomised and it has perma-death but it's not turn-based. I like Teleglitch quite a bit but the random aspect of item drops makes it really difficult beyond the first few areas. You have to be so sparing with your ammunition and a bit lucky to find the right crafting materials (you can make all manner of items from weapons to improvised explosives) or straight up weapon upgrades.
I've sunk about 8 hours into the game so far. Played it over 60 times, have yet to beat it.

That game is the reason I want a Steam controller. So excited!
