Nice. Shelter was ok. Looks rad, but I'm curious to know how/if they plan to spice the concept up on the gameplay front.

It HAS only been a week or so.
Maybe the odd game here or there, but I don't really remember that being the case. Call me when OOTP 15 is on sale.
Puzzle Agent 1+2
You play as FBI puzzle agent Nelson Tethers, who has been sent to a small snowy town called Scoggins to investigate a factory closure and a missing persons report.
The gameplay was clearly inspired by the Professor Layton games: While you progress through the story, you have to solve a myriad of different puzzles. The puzzles are all their own little mini-game, so there is no need to go pixel hunting in this point and click adventure.
Sadly, some of the puzzles are fairly simple and dull: rotate some tiles till they fit together, arrange shapes so they make sense, etc. The more logic-based puzzles can be quite fun and a couple really engage your brain, I wish they implemented more of those instead.
The game has a very distinct art and animation style that you may love or hate. Personally, I thought it was charming and fitted the typical Telltale humour very well. The voice acting is spot on and I really liked the sound effects as well.
Where the games really shine is in their atmosphere and story though. Scoggins is painted as a nice little town at first, but you soon realise the sinister truth behind its facade.
What's going on with those "hidden people" only crazy people seem to be able to see?
What's the brotherhood of Scoggins up to?
And how do astronauts fit into this story?
If you'd like to know the answers to any of these questions and aren't too put off by a bit of dull puzzling, I highly recommend playing the games
Both games are quite short, you can complete them in about 2 to 3 hours each.
I might be up for it depending on the time, where do you post that stuff, just the neoGAF group on Steam?

Toki Tori 2 Plus --MB-9DA8B1651997EA9A- Taken by swx. 4 entrants total.
Not playing Divinity kills me. The more Gameplay I watch the more hype I am, the more poor.
But, to compensate, I played this game I randomly found called Zineth. It's pretty awesome, like a Jet Set Radio game with some weird stuff and awesome quirky stuff all mixed in.
It's free and on Gamejolt if you just look for it.

Just so people know Blade Symphony has a great tutorial teaching you how to play. It's not that complicated either.

I make a post in this thread with a banner that says SteamGAF CSGO. If I had admin power in the SteamGAF group I could make an announcement that would broadcast to every member of the group but that may be annoying to the few thousand who have no interest in CS:GO.
I could make a separate group for those interested in CS:GO to join. If we continue to get a good number of participants at designated times I'll definitely be thinking about making this more organized than it currently is.

Pre-Order up for Risen 3
Anyone can recommend/otherwise DLC for Risen 2?
What did they ban you for?Apparently GMG started having noteworthy deals after banning me from their store
Also I am failing to see noteworthy deals.

They've always had noteworthy deals. What were you looking to buy?
Pre-Order up for Risen 3
Dirt cheap in Mother Russia. Fingers crossed for no region lock
I cheated some rewards during their summer sale because I didn't have time to play the games. They caught me red handed and banned me both from Playfire and GMG. Submitted a support ticket asking them why was I banned from the GMG store as well and a very rude employee of theirs replied to me and basically told me to fuck off and deal with it. Assholes
I was looking to buy Godus, PES 2013, Virtua Tennis and F1 2013

Right now you get http://steamdb.info/sub/46403/ when buying through the Russian store, it's the unlocked ROW version. Could change of course.
Me neither. And can't you open another account?
It's always been touch and go for me with that specific feature.
Sometimes it shows up, sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes it just takes a minute or a few refreshes to load in.

I actually consider both BF2 and BC2 to be better than BF3, but your mileage may vary.
The problem with BC2 is you essentially get dunked on until you hit level 18 and acquire the magnum ammo perk. Until that point, you will be outgunned in just about any 1v1 scenario.
I recommend that you just play it safe until that point.
Are you in Europe?
Try adding ?cc=us to the link, it should load immediately then, and if you then go back to cc=<yourcountry>, it'll stick... for a while.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
Do you have it enabled in the options?
Also in case anyone is curious, I'm getting ready to replace this feature in Firefox with it's Chrome counterpart, which should be quite a bit more stable.

Oh Septerra Core, I remember the salesperson at Media Play telling me it was the PC's answer to FF7 at the time. No way was this true, but I did enjoy the hell out of it back then and it still holds up some now. That is a great price for some good RPG action.
I can vouch for these as well:
Penny Arcade 3 and Penny Arcade 4
Inquisitor (Toma made a thread about the game recently, liked it very much)
Avernum Bundle is also great if you like old-school WRPGs.
Ah, that sucks. Is it possible to just create a new account?

Yup, last night surprised me with how many people actually joined in. Alot of fun too last night overall, and no insertion!
Treasure Isle is good, Air Temple isn't bad, and the clothing DLC is a helpful subversion to the way Risen games usually make you walk around half-naked because you haven't found any clothes.

Yep, it's a great game with easy to read bullet patterns and not so merciless hard as some other bullet hell shmups, I like it a lot!
That sucks, how pointless and uneconomic to ban you from GMG as well...
I think I'm IP banned. And to be honest even if they didn't ban me from GMG I wouldn't bother spending a single cent on their store after witnessing their horrendous costumer service
It was already in a groupees bundle, so maybe they're desperate.
Is that the RPG Toma was raving about during the Summer sale?
Its a shame Garden Warfare isn't on Steam. I can definitely see it being one of those games that benefits a lot from hats, items, keys, chests, and other Steam features which would boost its longevity/community support. Oh well wouldn't buy it either way. But still EA gonna EA.
Yep.

Anyone can invite me to the SteamGAF group? Would be awesome!

Played through Valiant Hearts this weekend. Fantastic game and soundtrack! Definitely one to remember.
After that I needed a change of pace so I fired up Broforce. I figured it'd be good from what I've seen and heard, but it definitely delivered.

On one hand I agree with the fact that that's not a nice thing to say from customer support. On the other, you did cheat the system to get rewards, so you have no one to blame but yourself.
I really need to go play the first Risen
yeah, one thing I like is that I can easily tell where everything is and I could dodge a lot of stuff out of reflex the last second, makes me feel like a pro!

I agree that I deserved the ban from Playfire rewards. I can't see the reason behind the GMG ban though

Banned
It's the same company and playfire rewards are directly linked with GMG. Why wouldn't you be banned form both?
You can create a new account, but as stated they're pretty rude. I got banned for something similar (Went to use SAM to re-lock some achievements in New Vegas, clicked wrong button and unlocked all achievements at once. DIdn't realize they had some rewards for New Vegas going on at the time, oh well.)
The only thing that bothered me is I still had about $15 in credit (not all of which was from the rewards either). Sent in a ticket, and got a similar response in the end.
