STEAM Announcements & Updates 2014 II - The Definitive Edition

Not open for further replies.
Went in for the $1 tier. (I got the impression Monaco's pretty dead, and I was kind of iffy on Antechamber.) Figured I can always up it to BTA later, depending on what they add.

So I have a spare here. What little I've had a chance to play of Guacamelee was a lot of fun, so hopefully someone'll enjoy it.

Thanks for Guacamelee :)

What self respecting person doesn't already own all of those games :p.

People with huge gaming backlogs who try to remain strong and not buy every single game they desire simply because it's a Steam Sale, and we already have hundreds of hours of gaming queued up, so no matter how good that game is for $3 or so we hold the line and remain strong.


That is until a Holy Mother of God bundle like this comes along, and all strength fades against the wind of Stupendous Deals. And the backlog just keeps on growing....

i have no idea what antichamber is

Antichamber is a game about going against expected standards that games have been using for decades and we all just got used to and do almost automatically for the most part. A lot of the fun actually comes in playing a game differently.

Then it mostly becomes just a puzzle game in first person that no longer tricks or fools you because you are used to it eventually for how it does things differently, but still quite enjoyable if you like it's style of game play when it's not being "weird".

I quite recommend it to people, even if it's just for the first hour of "I wasn't expecting that" or to make one think of the standards of game development and how we have all been trained to just assume linear paths by sight in corridor games.

Couldn't resist. Just bought the bundle and I BTA. It took like five minutes to get the HB e-mail, but now I have all games on Steam :D

Hey, I'm one of the guys behind Roundabout - that spinning limo game that was linked last night.

Our Greenlight vote curve shot through the roof this morning, and it's mainly because of this thread. You guys are rad, and it's super great to read that you guys think it looks great!

If you're coming to PAX East, come and say hi and I'll give you the best hi-five that you have ever experienced.

Hahaha. Yes!! The game looks amazing, good luck on getting it on Steam.

For those who've played The Witcher 2, is the combat mod worth it?

Yes and No. The combat mod has this affect that when you have a full adrenaline the screen gets this static effect that more than halves your framerate, but this can be mitigated by using your adrenaline. Even with this issue, I liked it more with it on.

No new game to play in the latest HIB. The only good thing is that it will be easier to gather 4 friends to play Monaco.

I can't seriously believe how good the new Humble is. It only needs Rogue Legacy or Gunpoint second week to become the best ever, hands down. Best thing is, I only own Guacamelee. I'm sooo playing Dust tonight :D

I also don't understand why the hell wasn't this HIB X, instead that the one we got. I got so hyped for that one :(

Also, I think the average must be the lowest one for a "main" Humble in a while. I just got back home and it's still under 4$
not that I'm complaining :lol

Just one question about the game. Is it more like Tony Hawk with a spinning limo or is it more like GTA2 with a spinning limo?

The scoring system is very Tony Hawk (running over people and small things work like "manuals" to the main multiplier system), but if you're comparing games, it's more like Crazy Taxi mixed with GTA. With a spinning limo.

It's hard picking a genre from a checkbox, to say the least.

What time is it?
Pardon the dumb, probably redundant question but how do you extract keys from the Humble Bundle for giveaways?

Awesome. You sold me on the game. Its 9.99$ spent well.

Double Fine Stream guys are playing this game right now : http://games.softpedia.com/get/Freeware-Games/Facade.shtml seems to be really cool

Not a dumb question at all. To help you there is a wonderful guide explaining exactly what to do. http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=91136719&postcount=5

That sounds amazing, I have to buy it now.

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.
The latest Lazy Guy Studios bundle is running a 50% off promotion for the next few hours:

http://www.lazyguysstudio.com/bundle/

Now only $1.99.

Worth it just for Hero of the Kingdom alone, if you don't already have it from the other bundle it was in. I played this (somewhat short) game this past weekend and really enjoyed it.
 
Hope you guys like the games :D
