RPS continuing its joint-feature with Dead End Thrills:
Betrayer, pCars, F.E.A.R.

Thanks for the FEAR link, that was an amazing article. Especially fitting since I'm speedrunning the game now and I can agree that the ragdoll physics are seriously impressive, so satisfying to kill the soldiers.

Thanks for World War III JaseC!

It seems Silent Storm: Gold Edition has been released on Steam. It's a nice tactics game made by Nival way back when they didn't suck. Just three words: fully destructible environments.

Oh wow, didn't expect to see this. Hopefully they fixed the >2GB ram bug that would prevent you from playing the game.

 

[Sinatar]

Thanks, I'll give this a try someday !

Spoiler

I gotta admit though, after playing 1.13, the only three words I'm seeing when I check others T-RPGs are : not Jagged Alliance 2.
I am still waiting for dat worthy successor .

Silent Storm is pretty damn close. Seriously it's fantastic.

Anyone else having issues paying with Paypal through the Humble Store widgets right now? It's just hanging at the "processing" step after being handed back from Paypal.

I had the same problem some hours ago but It finally went through after a few minutes.

Uh, I actually played my retail copy on a laptop with 4 Gb RAM a couple of years ago. Had to fix something though, don't remember what exactly.

I'll let it sit a while, then. I'm getting a little paranoid about the multiple payments currently in limbo showing up in my Paypal account in a big lump

YAY: Hyper Light Drifter.

BOO: Castle in the Darkness still MIA.

Castle in the Darkness looks like a lot of fun, but damn that's a lot of plagiarism

Without a doubt, pick up Full Bore.

Thanks for Knight Shift Jase

Thanks for World War III JaseC!

No worries.

 

[TheSadRanger]

Cool, now release MGS5 instead. Who cares about MGR?

Looks great, while it looks kind of like the beginning area of the game the environments look much more detailed. Most of the environments were kind of bland on the console version so I imagine they are doing some new art assets for the PC release which explains why it's taking a while.

Rising is great, even on consoles it was an absolute blast to play. Now if they were able to put wall running back in I'd be freaking amazed.

Maybe in the sequel (I sure hope so) It is a port after all.

That Uplay integration.
Nothing like that feeling of instant turn off to just about any game for me.

I got excited for The Division for about a week, then I remembered the publisher. Forced Uplay integration, released after the console, no care given to PC specific issues (see: optimization, K/M controls, etc), Ubisoft's trademarked homogenization and dumbing down, Ubisoft's trademarked degradation from first showing to release.

I think it's totally worth full price, so 66% is a no-brainer in my opinion.

Besides, I enjoy seeing more and more people appear below me in the leaderboards

Hmm, how about just adding 'self-published' to entries like that, no need to repeat the developer twice IMO.

I just don't like platformers, I can say that the recent Rayman games are probably their best games currently though.

Yep. Late ports, bad ports, Uplay, pretty much a big bag of fuck you from Ubisoft.

They expand when the village grows in prosperity and stuff outside the borders can also influence it, but yes, the borders can be extremely annoying. What's even more annoying is the random settlers starting a new town RIGHT NEXT TO ANOTHER ONE blocking off its expansion possibilities.
It gets better once you're past "the beginning", but it stays rather annoying.

 

[Grief.exe]

And here they are

NOTE: PLEASE START A NEW GAME!

This is a major update featuring a new area, a completely new enemy type, new things to do, and numerous improvements and fixes.

-Fixed a related issue where progression could get blocked in certain save/load situations.
-The South Gate will now only open in the normal world.

I loved the original Flashback waaaaaay back when.

The original Flashback was magical because it took the mechanics of Out of This World and made it into an adventure shooter. Reading the Steam Store review makes me think that whoever was the driving force of this new game wasn't in touch with or has lost that magic from the original.

"The team modernized gameplay mechanics, making the game more reactive, offering new features, like gadgets and an experience progression system. But the developers kept the original formula in mind: a fine balance between rolling and shooting, exploring remote space stations and obliterating hostile alien planets. " OfficeNo.jpg

I know its a long shot, but if I pay a greenlight fee, do the "developers" I list have to pay too to be part of the greenlight campaign?
