Looks like I got the low violence version of the Darkness II even though I'm not in Germany... Hektor, do you live in Germany, or did Humble give you a German key by mistake?

Apparently, there is a fix for wired xboxOne controllers, which are sometimes not recognized by some Unity games including Setsuna:
For WIRED controller you can fix it in device manager by installing the "Microsoft Xbox One Controller" driver instead of "Xbox Controller" which is the Win10 default one.

Go to "device manager"

scroll to the bottom and find the xbox peripherals

right click update driver software

press browse my computer

press let me pick

UNtick show compatible hardware

install the one that says "Microsoft Xbox One Controller" (NOT the original "Xbox Controller" drivers)

No idea how to fix wireless though

Eh, yea, i live in germany. Totally forgot that this game was cut over here, altho the store page did make no mention of this either.

Well, at least one can easily delete games nowadays, so it won't be blocking your account from the uncut version for too long. I'm sorry :/

Thanks for the review, Hektor. The setting sounds awesome. Will probably pick it up in the next sale.

Anyone know if D4: Dark Dreams Don't Die is worth playing as well?

It's really weird and fun. Really weird. Only you can now what kinda humor you like, but if you're into very cartoony kind of crime adventures with somethingliketimetravellingbutnotreally then this game is for you.

It's also similar to telltale adventures in style, altho a bit different with it's open natured hub house and things that i'd call sidequests.

Altho keep in mind that the story isn't finished yet and due to it's bad sales and health issues of the main writer and director it might take some time to continue, if ever.
They already started working on the next part, but you never know. In the worst case you'd be sitting on a giant cliffhanger with no questions answered.

you don't need to have played the original the darkness to know whats going on in 2, right?

The game has a neat short summary of what happened in the first game so you should be good to go. I've heard good things about the first game so if you've access to it you should probably play that first though as I said, the sequel does a pretty good job at explaining everything.

That's a decent bundle but I'm going to pass since the few games in it that I don't own aren't appealing to me.

Wow talk about a boost
By Early 2016, TF Devastation was around 17K owners.
http://steamspy.com/app/338930
Now it is at 45K owners

The $10ish price point really helped :p
Hope further sales help it reach 100K by next year if not year's end, but I'm being too optimistic here ^^;

How is the EDF port? It would be kinda amazing to play an EDF game without major slowdowns. Would make me buy that in the future as well.

Don't worry, I don't give a shit if it's less gory if it doesn't cut anything from the story and what not. Thanks for the game!

Port is actually pretty solid. Only 2 real issues found so far:

1. The internal resolution is locked to your desktop resolution, so if you want to downsample you need to set your desktop resolution to your desired DSR resolution
2. Multiplayer open lobbies appear to be region locked, so if you live in the middle of nowhere you might not be able to play with randoms.

Other then that it's great. Performance is butter smooth, controls great with M&KB, all good stuff.

This ain't no classic like Duke, but you might enjoy being chased by robots more than playing Battleborn.

The methodology for polling for resolution is perfectly acceptable, that actually sounds like a solid port.

Pretty cool 2K Bundle, I've been eyeing Civ5 to get into the RTS genre. Hoping for Borderlands 2 as one of the additional added games next week, before pulling the trigger.

EDF deserves to be top seller with that ridiculous trailer they put on the store page. 9 min trailer of some weird funny shit.

Cool, putting it on my wish list then for when I have my new machine.

Also man they are practically already giving Battleborn away. That game bombed so hard.

If you win and can't redeem the key, send me a PM. I had two keys and I used one myself, only I'm not sure if this is the unredeemed one or not (it should be).

Where is Stump? I need to tell him something: Obduction is delayed until the week of August 28th!

The last few weeks have gone very quickly. We’ve been working long days, and seven day weeks. Obduction has been getting better and better. But we still found ourselves implementing the last couple of systems we needed instead of having quality time to focus on squashing more bugs. Last week we still had a chance, if everything worked perfectly. At the end of the week the leads met to discuss our options. We were so close, we could ship. But we came to the unanimous decision that if we shipped it was driven mainly by the deadline — not because we were satisfied. Obduction is a product that we’re very proud of, and we don’t want to let unpolished edges get in the way of an amazing immersive experience.

So with humble hearts, but admittedly a bit of relief, we’re taking another few weeks (until the week of August 22nd) to do a bit more cleaning and polishing. No excuses, we should be better with our estimated completion dates. It’s really hard — please forgive us.

Accidentally did the 25 dollar option for the bundle, submitted a ticket for a refund and they took care of that in less than 20 minutes. Wish all customer support interactions were that pleasant.

they aren't doing vouchers anymore...just special VIP pricing on games when you're logged in as a member

that wouldn't be an issue, but personal discounts aren't half as good, and not for all games, depending on region, as it is so for EU.


Time to abandon them!

yeah, my thoughts exactly, another store bites the dust. I now only have HB and wingamestore left. The end of another era


Do they still do the 20~25% discount thing?

no, that's the change
