Cool, time to sell this copy that I bought and never played. lol

Or, give to Grief.

 

[PandaPedinte]

I finally finished To the Moon, and there is water leaking from my eyes.

 

[Gvaz]

the question is not wether or not i'll reach a thousand games by the end of the sales

the real question is: who cares?

I am 5 games behind you friend. Lets do this.

As much as I loved that game, I've forgot a large part of the game, maybe it's time to go back?

That moment when a certain song starts playing is the part that always hits hard. Most unforgettable part of that game.

Hey guys, crunchyroll is having an amazing summer sale of 10% in a bunch of japanese indie games!

The best deal is this one by far:

Game is just 3-4 hours long, but what an amazing hours those are, well worth 719 euros.

XBL hasn't even been on for years you silly goose and my copy's still sealed. I'm not giving it to you for you to +1 your Xbox library!!!

Exactly, showed the song to my gf and now she's crying too and she didn't even played the game.

Nailed it.

Needs Gaben's face on the dude, and a -75% sale sticker on dat ass. >.>

I finally finished To the Moon, and there is water leaking from my eyes.

While I also thought the game was touching, a few things bothered me:
- Watts was overused for comic relief / nerd references (

Spoiler

"You never cockblock someone in the middle of a kamehameha!"

...really?)
- The walking speed was a bit too slow for my tastes, especially when you just had to backtrack somewhere.
- I felt Act 1 was a bit repetitive, as you always do the exact same thing over and over again (

Spoiler

search for memory links, combine them, solve useless slider puzzle, repeat

).
And I guess the whole game was just a bit too cheesy for my tastes. Still liked it overall though.

It does have a great single player mode apparently, but you should sell that if it's sealed.

I agree with your first and third point, I expect Watts being more developed in the next game instead being used mainly as comic relief, I can see why you think the first part being repetitive but I took a year to finish the game so in the end it didn't bothered me. The story as you said can be cheese and

Spoiler

Watts even joke about it

but it caught me off guard. Good game overall.

Valve really needs to add online statuses to Steam Community profiles. You know, like on Friends, that thing that's intrinsically linked to Community.

I've updated Enhanced Steam for Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox to version 6.3. Changes include:

• Added an information dialog to app pages that are excluded from Family Sharing
• Steam user review scores are now loaded more quickly
• Multiple DRM warnings now display in a single warning banner
• Fixed a bug where some market links were not showing up on certain badge pages
• Fixed several bugs caused by Valve's CDN name change

The Chrome extension should be updating automatically right now. I'm working out some issues with the Firefox plugin update that has to do with our new server, but I'll get that resolved soon and when that's working the Firefox version will update automatically.

As always, let me know if you run into any issues.

It does have a great single player mode apparently, but you should sell that if it's sealed.

I wouldn't call Phantom Dust's single player great. I'd rate it between 6-7/10 and the multiplayer 9/10. The single player is enjoyable despite the pointless hub, repetitive missions, and braindead partner AI. There's a neat story to go along with it, along with some boss fights, but I'd say it's fun purely because the core game is so awesome, and not because the campaign is especially well designed.

Now that I have control of my own Firefox updates, I actually had a set of time in July set aside to start backporting a lot of the Chrome-only features to Firefox. So, hopefully sometime next month. Sorry it won't be done by the time the sale starts.

Thanks a lot for all the work you're putting into ES! I wouldn't want to go back to using the site without it!

No skin off my nose; I won't be buying much. Plus I have Chrome on my laptop if I absolutely need to sift through a bajillion results.

Guys I found my excuse for not playing Volgarr the Viking:

Logically, the only reason would be they didn't think having this game on their platform would be a good return on the investment of loaning out $2500+ worth of hardware to these guys. Yes, Sony have been giving out dev kits "like candy" — and for all we know, they may still be doing so — but that doesn't mean that everyone gets one. You need to demonstrate some promise first.

Basically, what this dev is telling us is that after Sony and Nintendo rejected his game, MS decided to pick it up, and he's really happy about that. And that's not to say Volgarr won't be a good game; maybe Sony and Nintendo already have 50 games in that genre in development, and don't feel the need to pay for any more. If Sony feel they need to choose between backing a game like Abzû or Yet Another Retro Side-scroller, I'm personally glad they chose the former.

In any case, I don't think this article proves Sony has changed any of their policies, or that Microsoft's policies are any better than Sony's. It just indicates MS are scraping the bottom of the barrel for games.

And again, no offense to Crazy Viking Studios intended. <3

NHL playoffs were fucking off the charts.

Hey JaseC, thanks for Bree+. This game sure likes crashing.

You need to run it in XP compatability mode to stop the crashing.

Of course it then runs at like 3fps...but one problem at a time.

I missed your reply before, I don't know how these kinds of game with focus on the story where you don't have a say how it unfolds hold up in a second playthrough, of course you did say you remember almost nothing of the story but it could be interesting if it has the same impact on you in the second playthrough.
