Well we didn't get the 2015 Snoopy game for one thing ToT
So I'm about to beat Exile's End
http://store.steampowered.com/app/382130/
...and while I do enjoy it, it has a major flaw: The map doesn't indicate 'Points of Interest'. Like you'd complete an area and the game puts you on a short path to a previous area where you can use an item to progress, but you'd spent some time in the newer area for so long you forgot where in the older area you need to place said item into.
if that was in it'd make the game much better IMO.
Still I recommend playing it as it gives off an old 80s/90s action adventure exploration feel.
How reliable is pcgamesn? They have this article on the g2a thing

For exemple, they never released a Skylander game on Steam. I know, it's a different matter because of physical, but considering they don't release that kind of stuff on PC (platformers), I can see it skipping Steam, if it's indeed not exclusive.
Snoopy's Ace was excellent. It's basically a reskinned version of Crimson Skies for the Xbox.
This is likely the standard Sony marketing deal we've seen for years where Sony gets final say on public information, and possibly temporary exclusive rights.
Public information then reverts to the Publisher/Developer post-launch and can launch on other platforms simultaneously, or at a later date depending on the deal.
We've seen this with Nier, No Man's Sky, Binding of Isaac, etc, etc. Hopefully something similar is occurring with Nioh and Crash Bandicoot.

Well, the original Crash Trilogy was PS1 exclusive, so maybe the remastered are PS4 exclusive too. After all a chunk of the game was shown in Uncharted 4, so Naughy Dog should have some kind of power on it, I doubt they would show a game which could appear, in its remade form, on XBox One.

Has to be, surely? Thanks for the tip, bought the deluxe edition quicker than I could even check what it includes.
It could be that Activision signed an exclusive deal with Sony for Crash, we have know way of explicitly knowing either way.
As Jase said, Activision owns the IP and publishing the game. Could go either way.
I just bought every Endless game in one go. Steam doesn't need curation confirmed
Couple of impressions from some bundle games I played:
Enslaved: Odyssey to the West
The idea is interesting, but the execution falls flat. I just have a hard time reconciling Monkeys character design and roots in Journey to the West with his actual personality and the way he talks. But then again, all the dialogue is crap.
Gameplay itself is mostly decent if nothing special. Basic action-adventure stuff with a more melee-focused combat. Some platforming, though it's mostly among the line of 'press in the direction of the next foothold/platform and watch your character being awesome while everything around him falls apart in the most spectacular ways but there is barely any danger because everything is scripted' which I personally really don't like.
Had some fun collecting shiny orbs for upgrades though, and riding the 'Cloud' was a fun sequence.
The setting and environments are pretty cool as well.
Anyway, I dropped it after 3 hours.
Song of the Deep
I'm pretty much echoing Rhaknars impression here. Took me ~9 hours as well. It's pretty good, very atmospheric and very good looking.
There's only one area and enemy type towards the end that is just dumb and frustrating.
Also, when I started it I said that it looks to be very stingy with coins, but that isn't true. I had all the upgrades and a surplus of money at the end, and I didn't get every single treasure. But I like exploring in games like this and if you don't explore and backtrack I can see one lacking money.
The Witness
Only 3 hours in, but oh man is this game beautiful. It's unreal.
There's also something extremely satisfying once a puzzle makes 'click'.

You also should buy Atelier Sophie.

Don't think it's glitch, it's Sega's MWNL4 promotion with lot of games going for 75-80% off.
Thanks for the heads up
I don't think so. It's probably because of SEGAs Make War Not Love thing currently going on, since 75% coincides with what's mentioned there, and Total War: Warhammer (33%), Company of Heroes 2 (75%) and Dawn of War 2 (80%) are discounted as well.
Endless Space 2 is still early access. It'd be 33% off at the very most.
Yep, and I don't think it's been discounted on Steam before this.
Thanks guys!
What's the deal with Nights of Azure and XBox controllers? A friend of mine has an Elite controller, and the game doesn't recognize any inputs from D-pad and triggers, while other buttons work fine - and i'm talking about binding keys in the launcher. There are also some reports on the forums of XBox 360 controllers having similar problems, although mine works just fine.
I'm also thinking about picking up the latest Age of Empires 2 HD DLC, has anyone played that? I kinda need to load up on older\less graphically intensive games for my work trip, where i'll have only my old laptop for recreation purposes
And Tales of Berseria
Endless Space 2 is newest, never discounted before and in early access. -75% discount doesn't make sense.
Oh, Endless Space. I read Endless and -75% and autocompleted to Endless Legend, haha.
Maybe SEGA did the same
What sort of bot is that?
thats the first time Endless Legend Tempest DLC has been 75% off, and my paypal is still blocked, and if I add my card to steam it will lock my card selling lol. Fuck everything.
Also, here's a bunch of keys from unclaimed humble buttons, I assume they work, but if they dont, welll...
lol that mystery game was Deep Dungeons of Doom from when bundlestars gave it out, I guess I already gave it out and someone flipped htat key. Busted
I just wanted to delete that email anyway

This is the reason for the discount on the Endless series, but the fact the 2nd episode is discounted is definitely A PRICE GLITCH. OMG10101010
You have no idea what kind of script madjoki keeps running to check for price glitch. He needs a nuclear plant just to keep all the scripts running.

I believe it's Madjoki's bot
Steam's streaming BitRate is far better than twitch, but I assume that also comes from a much smaller volume of users.
£8.75 is an amazing deal for the collectors edition. Then I also got the entirety of Endless Legend for £13, which seems awesome to me.
Big chunk of my which list cleaned up. Now to find the time to play them

Don't your hear the clock ticking? The more you think, the less you have a chance to get it at that price. Remember Nabs' price glitch.
So I guess it's not publicly available and/or the output can't be intercepted? I'd love to have this as (yet another) bot on my Telegram.

This is what I thought but it is not the case.
For info, he is playing Bully. Maybe there is something weird with that game.
🌿🌿
This just in, Oskar is actually secretly Shovel Knight. He grew tired of being a support character and decided to star in his own game instead and went back in time to do so. We never see under Shovel Knight's helmet you know.
Follow the money.💵💵
Went to check and saw that I'd need to pay more to get the key (I pre-purchased the bundle). I'll pass.
damn thats bullshit. arent pre orders in groupees for the whole bundles? isnt that the whole fucking point?
The game is in a 12$ tier... It's not like people who buy it now get it for like 3$ or anything.
oh its probably because I used a coin that I have it then lol. Based groupees coins >_>
