I don't know if DP being there is a bummer or awesome. Sure it's a crappy port but despite all the problems, it was my GOTY. Still I don't regret my purchase one and I tripple dipped for the bundle, but kinda shame if the game didn't sell enough even with the Steam Sale to drop for IndyBundle level
I played some more Metal Gear Solid 420: #YOLO and it's still awesome (chapter 3)

Anybody playing SpellForce 2? If yes, how's it?
I thought it had DRM free version for a short time, but I probably confused soundtrack for a game.
Still... would it really hurt MS to release it on steam? I mean really?

Divinity: Original Sin has hit Early Access... but isn't available just yet.
Edit: There'll be a two-pack but not one for the Collector's Edition, it seems.
It's available now, though the CE is still MIA. $40 for one copy or $60 for two ($30 per head).
Edit: The two-pack also includes Divine Divinity and Beyond Divinity

I was surprised that DP was actually in that gala bundle which luckily I got when it was $3.99. I was going to buy DP when it hit $5 but this works too. Probably not the best decision on their part.
That seems a bit early to be in the bundle. But than again, may be they don't need money, only glory?

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.
Daily Deal: The Secret World 66% Off ($10.19)
One of these is Bad Rats. The other is Starvoid. Not too compelling, I know. Add me on steam if this doesn't work proper.

was thinking of GMG.. but it needs to be in a bundle instead. (even Amazon bundle will do)

Its appearance in a bundle soon after release certainly suggests sales can't be stellar and from recent posts on the steam community it seems the devs don't intend to patch it further. Even after durante's resolution fixes there are a litany of other issues with it. Having to disable my surround sound to stop the car engine noises looping forever really pisses me off too.

Works for me, I have none.
Thanks for the giveaway.
I started playing Brothers and it's great, Gaf was right.
Yeah, I nabbed it at that price the day it went up. The BTA was at $3.99 for the first 4 hours.

It's probably a good thing. Can you imagine the reaction is a lot of people bought it at 75% off, only for it to appear in a bundle?
Movies and TV shows appearing on steam are going to ruin the Holiday sales. You already have people bitching about non gaming related software appearing during votes etc. Now you're going to have seasons 1-5 of one tree hill appearing alongside Dumb and Dumberer, and Demon Souls II and Demon Souls II ends up losing the community vote. And then people rage.
You don't say, I for one bought it and can't even play it.

What problem are you facing?

Oh shit, Humans Must Answer is up on Steam. Definitely picking that up, I got to try a demo of it and it was pretty awesome, felt a lot like R-Type pacing-wise.
This one, there also a video here. A lot of people in that SPUF thread said that rebooting their computers helped fix it completely, but it just doesn't seem to work in my case. Maybe it's because I'm on an Nvidia Optimus laptop (what with DPfix not supporting it, although it's exactly the same with or without it), but that's not very likely, since it's not a performance issue: the game is technically 60 FPS, it just renders itself really weird. Some segments like the menu or the shoulder view are in real smooth 60 FPS, but overall it's not really playable, as evident from the video, anyway.

Hell, I'll do it:
Just one favor to ask, please don't redeem Deadly Premonition if you don't really want to play it. I usually don't care who gets one as long as someone claims it, but like I said, Deadly Premonition might be a shitty port, but it's still the definitive version of a "shitty" game that was my GOTY before I even played it and more so after I played it. And yeah, it's cheap on the bundle itself but go on ahead if you like one or more of the following:
1) Majoras Mask
2) Twin Peaks
3) Silent Hill

I doubt that Valvw will be selling films and shows itself; expect the integration of current streaming services such as Netflix. Being able to buy movies and tie them to your account would be awesome, though...

Thanks for Deadly Premonition. I love all 3 of them and im in for a ride.
I just hope it works good with Durantes Fix.

Is there a way to up your bundle payment on Indie Gala, or do I just need to rebuy another bundle?

One of them will be Rush Bros.

Some reminders:
1) Most of the games problems are patched with the 1.01 patch, but the game will still crash. If they do, RESTART YOUR PC. It will work. It's dumb but it will work.
2) If you fiddle around with DPFixes window modes, make sure the launcher has the same settings as your game, otherwise the game will crash on launch.
Go to the NVidia Control panel and make sure that DP.exe only uses your real card. I am running on same kind of configuration and the game works fine but I have ran into same kind of problems with other games (for instance Condemned which is also a crappy port)
Freedom = $1.05

Quick question: did they finally add native controller support for Deadly Premonition?

I have bought a handful of the Bundle Star bundles now, but I am curious, do they ever go on sale before they expire? Like a last chance type of deal?
I dunno, but I really hope one of them is the Lost Highway DLC for Euro Truck Simulator.

I've only seen things fluctuate by a handful of cents.
No, the price is fixed.

I hope not
it'd make me feel guilty for my billions of torrented movies
eh, it probably wouldn't

Thanks for those tips. I hope it crashes just a few times and not like every 5 minutes.

hmm try to get in on a 2-pack or wait for the CE to surface...

Yes, its not very clear but you basically just act like you are buying it again. If you are trying to get the BTA, just add the difference of what you paid before and it should unlock in your profile. Thats why they say "Are you purchasing a 2nd copy of the bundle using the same email? Then check GIFT checkbox too! ;-)" because if you don't they add the additional amount to your existing purchase.
See #14 in their FAQ

Oh cool! Thanks for the info.
Well, I did that, of course. But as I said, it's clearly not a performance issue per se. The game would not run at 60 FPS (as it technically does) on the integrated card. And all those others did not have Optimus.
I can't seem to find any info on what the CE is supposed to include. Looking at the sub history Divine and Beyond were added to begin with, but since they were removed I think the person was under the impression that they were adding them to the "Co-op Deluxe Pack".

I clocked in ~24 hours of game time and it only crashed 4 times on me. Just make sure you save as much as possible.

Ok thanks, just making sure before I buy it. I'm really just getting it for the game count since I already have the titles that I would have been interested in anyway. Guess I have a giveaway coming up soon
I should have known/checked. :| They've done this sort of thing before. At least have the courtesy to call it like it is (tiered pricing).
BUT shoutouts to EmergentFocus for hooking me up with ToME. Work has been suuuuper shitty this week and I'm looking forward to sinking my teeth into some crazy dungeons.

lemme know if you wanna do a 2-pack then Jase
Pre-ordering the game was a huge mistake
