Firefall
- Mobius and pet octopus
"Earth was showered in fiery meteorites which left resources in its wake that jumped scientific progress years ahead. But when
humanity became too greedy, they inadvertently caused a calamity to envelope most of the surface of the world and an alien
force known as the Chosen invaded and conqueed most of the planet. Only a few isolated pockets of resistance remain and
it is your job to retake Earth."



OlliOlli
- MRORANGE
"OlliOlli is a game based on mastering skate techniques and building up your score, being able to pull off amazing stunts
before you fall flat on your face in failure, with it's multiple game modes and vibrant 2D design it's worth picking up, the game had
recent acclaimed as being one of the current noteworthy indie titles on the PSVITA."



Detective Case and Clown Bot in: Murder in the Hotel Lisbon
- More_Badass
"In Murder in the Hotel Lisbon, you play as the (in?)famous Detective Justin Case and his wisecracking robot sidekick Clown Bot,
investigating a hilariously strange suicide case. How strange? Well the victim "committed suicide with 14 stabs to the back while at
the same time he peacefully drank his coffee." The zany characters and the witty dialogue and plot twists make for a fun narrative.
Explore locations, gather evidence, interrogate suspects and witnesses in this whimsical adventure game."



Sunless Sea
- More_Badass
"Set in the popular Lovecraftian/gothic world of Fallen London, Sunless Sea lets you explore the vast Unterzee, a sprawling expanse of
ocean deep beneath the earth where grotesque things and terrible fates await those who dare venture into the abyss. As captain, you
command your vessel and crew as you discover new lands, fight dangerous enemies, upgrade your ship with better parts and new
weapons. Endure starvation, madness, mutinous crews, and horrors beyond comprehension on the black waters of Sunless Sea"



Gods Will Be Watching
- More_Badass
"The original Gods Will Be Watching was a confined and taut experience, laser-focused on delivering its bleak hopeless tale. Now
expanded and enhanced, this dark point-and-click adventure leaves the wilderness behind and brings its tough decisions to a variety of
tense nerve-wracking scenarios. From handling a hostage situation to enduring torture and more, there are no good or bad choices,
only shades of gray. Choose wisely and remember...Gods Will Be Watching."

I forked MRORANGE's OP and removed the stats stuff from the last OP. Hopefully as the rate of posting slows a little bit we can ride out this thread for the rest of the month and then aim for monthly again next month, as I think a lot of the spam in the last thread came from the post-sale high and new people. Try not to spam your way to 20,000; there's really no need to reply if all you're going to post is a reaction GIF. There's also no need to reply just to express that boy a lot of people are posting, or that the thread is fast, or that you wish the thread wasn't as fast, or that posts that just boil down to "the thread is moving quickly" are being deleted, or to quote posts that are going to be deleted to tell them they're going to be deleted. Like, try to only reply when you improve on the silence. There's a chat function built into Steam, so if you really just have the impulse to chat with people, use that instead of this thread :)

ModBot is moved over here. Edits for the previous thread will still work.

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.

Nope. Steam is the only site that gives me trouble. It shows my username and wallet amount like normal, but then asks me to log in when I click on Community. Sometimes it'll look like I'm logged out completely, but then it logs me in if I refresh after a bit. It's very annoying.

I hear that a lot actually. I don't know what the issue is but I'm almost 100% certain it's a server issue on Valve's end. :(

Good to see I'm not the only one that thinks that!

Also, some posts here are missing :p

So for anyone playing episode 5 of Wolf, anything I need to know (in the least spoilery way possible) to get all the achievements on a single playthrough?

Seriously don't spoil it.

Here's hoping it pans out like that. A bit doubtful though.

I don't know if it is possible to miss a single one for Act 5. It's the only act I have all cheevos for and I wasn't trying.

Are posts being deleted or something? I just posted about the new thread and the fact there doesn't seem to be much coming out this month and it's gone?

There's a lot of great games coming out, and have already came out, this month, like Sunless Sea, Momodora III, and Claire for the latter, from what I've heard, and Unrest, Gods Will Be Watching, and Whispering Willows for the former.

So if you missed the news, the new Steam beta does some cool things:

Hi Everyone,

We're beginning a new Steam Client Beta today.

  • Changed to use new Steam Community search page
  • Improved library sorting and type-to-jump for games that start with "A" or "An".
    [*]Eliminated duplicate library entries for games with separate Mac and PC app IDs
    [*]Improved library sort order for certain game series


In-Home Streaming
  • Implemented NVIDIA NvIFR hardware-accelerated coding on Windows

This means no double GTA/Civ entries and:

They added a new sorting feature that can help fix the order of some games. It'll require them to go in and change stuff in the registry, so don't expect a wide change overnight.

I'd play more games (mainly Divinity) if I had the time. Third year of medical school means I get home at 5:30pm, sleep at 9:30pm, and get up at 4am. I don't even know when I'll find the chance to play any game, much less a long-ass CPRG like Divinity. I guess this means I'll be playing shorter games moreso than sprawling ones.

I really haven't heard of a single one of those. I guess I need to get researching.

I've got Magic 2015 on order from Steam which I'm looking forward to. Been in a big card game mood recently.

Besides that it's just Sacred 3 and Risen 3 next in August on Steam anyway.

Wouldn't it be easier if they just allowed us to rename games in our lists?
 
Is Deponia Complete cheap somewhere? Did I miss anything?

20 in Russian bucks, maybe he's just generous. Lot of nice people in the steam thread
community

Edit: Or 90% if you own the original versions as 73V2N :p Wish Metro Redux had the same deal, but I only paid 13 dollars so I can't complain too much.

so its...another syberia bundle? >_>

I dont know what else they make / publish :(

Still Life 1-2
Dracula 3-5
Nostradamus
The Sinking Island
Post Mortem
Atlantis couple of games
Jack the Ripper
etc
They've got quite a few adventure games.
Question is, will they all be steam keys or not (the amount of games by them on Steam is smaller than their full catalog)
 
Microids needs to get off their asses and do an actual port of Syberia to Mac, not a lame mobile version. I got excited to play it after finishing Beneath A Steel Sky, but every single hotspot's visible in the Mac version, which takes away some of the challenge already.

oh hell yeah.

At least it's progress. I wouldn't bitch so much about not being able to rename if the series' were in the correct order.
