The original was scary enough (albeit a little shitty to control). If this fixes that, oh man..

Humble is weird that way; some keys would still remain unclaimed even though you know you claimed them, such as games you bought and already redeemd their key for.

Nintendo would say they are not supporting the PC whatsoever and then announce all this cool shit for Splatoon 2.
Fucking Nintendo.

Also, as a side note
It must be an error, right?
It's coming out of Early Access this summer, so I don't think so.

I've just started playing Rebuild 3. It's probably the deepest zombie survival game out there--you make your own government! Finally, you can Walking Dead with the best of them. It's a sort of real-time 4X (I think there's a turn-based option available) where you, well, survive a zombie apocalypse by 4Xing the territory and zombies around you. The UI is a little mobile port-y but it seems pretty good so far--just finished the first campaign level.
I made the smuggest survivor possible.
She is a college student. (You can tell thanks to the calculator!)
And I founded the Communist Republic of Snoqualmie.
They, uh, only tell you the type of government after you've made all the policy decisions. I went with President and only thought of Governor later; maybe next time.
It is a good game. The writing is a lot sharper than I suspected going in--they present it as sorta serious, sorta comedic and actually pull it off. And there's a lot of mechanics still hidden to me, which gives me a lot of hope for future campaigns.
Just play through each character's whole chapters in order. Chronological leads to a lot of awful mission repeats, and I dunno what else could justify an out-of-order playlist.
The RPS article mentions console price parity as the reason for the change. Don't want anyone to feel ripped off, y'know.

Give it an hour or so from now
So the 2013 One Piece game, Unlimited World Red, is releasing in August on Steam and PS4, at least according to one site

Shame it won't have milk as the ultimate healing item :V
Question. Generally, checkerboard tends to offer a pretty good visual / performance ratio when a native resolution can't be reached.
My question is, if you CAN reach native, would you be benefited visually from super sampling checkerboard vs Native?
Ie: 3840 x 2160 vs 5120 x 2880 CB
Assuming identical performant level, would the checkerboarded higher res offer a better visual?

How good is Gal Gun?
<gets popcorn>
Pretty good.
Handles much better with a mouse than the console version with the controller.
Plenty of unlockables / hidden objects.
Wishlisted! Was always curious about the original.

It's crazy seeing a game like Nier Automata outsell (and in a shorter timeframe). Something like Resident Evil 7. I would have never thought it'd be possible.

Humble Bundle says this is DRM free, but also has a Steam icon. Do I get a Steam key if I buy this?

I envy all you guys who can play first-person (and related) games without getting a nauseating feeling.
I have so many games I want to try, but keep getting 'motion-sickness'. I don't know what happened, just suddenly started happening. I mean, I'm getting it from effin Morrowind as well.
Maybe I need to increase my fov, or fps.

I wonder if RE7 sold less because it presented itself as being scarier than previous installments. I know from my extremely limited sample size of 1, I held off on playing it until I had heard it wasn't quite as extreme as Outlast. And it was still pretty scary.

Some people have expressed the desire to see more "hidden hidden gems" (H²G) and fewer "hidden gems" (HG). H²G are expected to suffer in terms of review scores, because they don't benefit from the same hype as popular games, which results in the following:
The second point is the measure of the popularity of a game. For HG, I used the number of players. This could be good as well here. Or we could use the number of reviews. I don't know which would be better.
This is the result with quality=median playtime and popularity=#players:

It might be non-sense, I'm still working on it.
- Steam review scores of H²G do not benefit from people leaving 1-liner good reviews like "this game is good. 10/10. Would buy again."
- even if their Steam review scores were perfect, then Wilson scores of H²G are penalized by a lack of reviews.

I think 7 underperformed for 2 main reasons. 6 was not received well and 7 was a dramatic playstyle shift for the mainline series that has been fairly similar since 4.

YOU CAN SEE THEIR PANTIES
Never just passin' by, but I had some things to take care recently.. sorrry for being away.
I only played two small games recently that may not be very interesting for most people but I did wrote some very small impressions for them.
A classic Tower defense game where everything you can expect from these kinds of games are in it: different defenses for different scenarios, upgrades to improve your attacks and hordes of enemies that will keep you busy while avoiding defeat.
The surprising aspect of Rock N Roll Defense is the theme of the game. Normally, tower defense fans often see towers with guns, rockets and submachine guns but in here it's all about the music and the different kind of music speakers that you will put on the road to avoid losing is a very interesting way that sure feels refreshing to this genre.
If you are into rock music you can also buy the soundtrack that will keep you pumped while defending the stage. You may not be into all of the soundtracks but there are few interesting ones.
I finished all levels in around 6 hours with some levels that I had to restart because I lost or because I was trying to get 3 skulls (no damage to the stage) but to honest I didn't even notice that time whas flying by. If you like tower defense games with a decent strategy and you are looking for something with a different theme, this game might be just what you are looking for.
Rock on!

And this one:
While the game feels a bit short, Splatter is just what it promises: a top down shooter with plenty to kill and some people to help (or not) along the way. You start your game with a small variety of weapons but as you advance more and more weapons will become available as well upgrading the ones you already own.
Considering its very low price it ended being quite a nice surprise. The story may now be remarkable and the main character often feel cheesy from my own perspective but in the end what matters is that the game feels satisfying to play. It's easy to start and it will leave you curious thinking what's happening in the next location or if the people from a certain village will survive or not.
The game can be finished in less than 5 hours but its lenght will depend on what difficulty you are playing. If you want more out of game after completing the main story there is also an arcade mode to test your skills and compete for your spot in the leaderboards as well local co-op for you to enjoy with your friends.
