So, the game Towerclimb is awesome fun. Basically a bit like spelunky, but spending your time climbing through the procedurally generated levels to get as high as possible. It's remarkably tense as you keep going and he addicitve

That actually sounds interesting.

Zestiria is at 64% of the final preorder bonus with two weeks to go. It's also in the top 20 sellers. I think that should work out fine.

Yeah, it will get the third tier easily. In the launch week it will probably climp to the top 10 sellers and fill the rest of the bar.

Hey, feel free to prove me wrong

can't remember there being that many of those things in the first place but on the top of my head the bio infinite and tomb raider bonuses were really average stuff. if you actually remember of anything good by all means lemme know, but that i remember, blegh

also, there's no need to gamify everything, it's annoying.

edit: at least we can agree that regular preorder bonuses are shit. in the best case scenario they're harmless, in the worst cases you start out with 10k money and completely ruin the balance of the game.

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

didnt infinite give away Xcom, a game that wasn't all that old at that time?

 

[Salsa]

uh. came back from the trip and my internet is fucked

youtube actually buffers. steam games downloading at 1mb instead of 10mb/s

feels basically like they took away my fiber and im back to shit internet

guess imma call my provider

 

[AHA-Lambda]

Just started System Shock

OH DEAR GOD THE CAMERA!!

I thought this new version had mouse look?

EDIT: Oh I figured it out, I have to enable it by pressing E =/

Oh this has not aged well, even with the improvements.

Bioshock Infinite had the following:
-Fuckload of TF2 items that sold for a good price
-Xcom Enemy Unknown
-Bioshock 1
-some random dlcs

Dunno, seems pretty good to me.

Tales is even better, they are giving you the next game they are porting months before it's even released.

I really don't see the issue or the "gamifying" complaints. They all unlock anyways (well, with very rare exceptions) and they are often better deals than regular preorders.

 

[laserlaser]

For folks that bought bundlestars bundle:
I'll paypal gift a dollar for paperbound and chargeshot if you don't want em.

As is, the main issue is the lack of a proper UI; you basically use your computer's mouse cursor to interact with objects and characters in a room.
There is no inventory in this game so you just find items and they'll be used automatically on the object they are designated for.
Has great visuals, and dat intro is catchy.

 

[Soulflarz]

I held out on HB and wanted stuff from that but didnt want the bundlestar too much yet I bought it
Such a lust for +1s

Okay tbh
I just want skullgirls >_>
Bought at launch on console, now I want a PC copy :V

 

[Tizoc]

Risen Franchise Pack is 1 single key BTW.

alright, didn't remember about xcom

i'll think about this some more, try and see if i'm not just being knee jerk about it and better figure out why it bothers me.

 

[Last Baron]

The only games I find interesting in that bundle are Malebolgia and Blues & Bullets :/

Think I'll save my money

 

[Dr Dogg]

Loads up Witcher III after not playing it for months, completely forgot the controls, gets into a fight with a bunch of level 12 bandits when I'm level 20 and promptly get my arse handed to me. Well that was a rude awakening.

 

[Nzyme32]

That actually sounds interesting.

It really is. I'm doing it a massive disservice since there is so much that makes this game amazing, much like games like Binding of Isaac, Rogue Legacy and others. Here's a quick few minutes that might give you an idea of what it can be like - https://youtu.be/6NnUoCZS7nQ?t=28m19s

Indeed, probably wouldn't have played X-Com otherwise and it ended up being one of my favorite games of the year.
Also made a couple of euros from the TF2 items.

 

[AHA-Lambda]

Oh good God no, I can't do this, this is so dated o_o

 

[FloatOn]

Oh good God no, I can't do this, this is so dated o_o

I went through the same thing.

 

[Salsa]

oh my god armikrog is in spanish how do I change this

 

[Baron_Calamity]

Oh good God no, I can't do this, this is so dated o_o

The original system shock was hard to cope with when it came out and its interphase didn't age well at all.

 

[ashecitism]

lol

 

[AHA-Lambda]

I went through the same thing.

The original system shock was hard to cope with when it came out and its interphase didn't age well at all.

Hoped the Enhanced Edition would make it fairly playable, and I loved SS2, but no this is too much ._.

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

Oh good God no, I can't do this, this is so dated o_o

some games are very much a you-had-to-be-there thing.

I recommend you try out SS2 with the mods and stuff, it holds a bit better than SS1 but might still be too dated depending on what you grew up with.

edit: i see you played through SS2 already. well then, i've got nothing for ya

 

[Caerith]

lol

Web cartoonists and VN writers must go to the same school.

 

[TheAutomator]

Amazing.

Yeah, I played SS2 when it was last rereleased on gog, what 2 years ago?
Plus I played Deus Ex like 8 years after it came out and it's my favourite game ever

So I think I can put up with a lot with old games, certainly graphics, but my god the controls on SS1 are horrible >_<

 

[Baron_Calamity]

lol

It did to a large degree.

Just play in tourist mode and the controls won't matter.

 

[Snakethesniper]

bangbangbang



BANG

How's the game? I like the western theme

 

[Bubbavelli]

lol

wheres Ricochet

 

[Jawmuncher]

System shock 2 is as far back as I'll go. I saw LGRs review of it and knew I wouldn't be able to get into SS1. Hell he wasn't really all that into either.

 

[AHA-Lambda]

Just play in tourist mode and the controls won't matter.

I'm assuming that's 0000?

I already set it at 1111, so it wasn't even difficult gameplay wise, just arduous from the off. So alien =/

 

[Aaron D.]

Bundlestars Killer Bundle 5 is amazing, includes Town of Salem ,Contradiction and rFactor

Thanks for the heads up. Bought in for Contradiction.

I've had my eye on that game forever.

 

[freshVeggie]

Que Stallion Free saying old games mostly hold up horribly.

 

[derExperte]

Good but not very deep and it becomes too hectic sometimes, if you haven't get Westerado first.

Bought. 3rd one from BundleStars this week I've bought.

I bought the FPS Heroes Bundle, Indie Heroes Bundle, and now this Killer Bundle 5.

$10 for 26 games...yeah.

Those 3 are the best bundles go look at the games included they are almost all positively reviewed.

And most have cards so you can sell them and get at least half your money back.

 

[zkylon]

yeah system shock 1 seems like one of those games that you really want to sit back and relax while you watch a good let's plays of
