I feel that discounts are still likely. If there isn't a meaningful one, the choice becomes extremely simple and I just won't bother with it. The content additions and SE are not going anywhere, so I'd rather just wait for the price to drop and be cut to the point where I see it as reasonable

I think it tells you on your friends page (X of Y).
I'd check, but... you know.
The Walking Dead is also shit, so you're not losing much there
Technically that isn't true. A delay wasn't really announced. The devs repeteadly said they were targeting to release on the end of March. Which they did.

That's not the problem. The problem is that all the other games I picked up recently will be placed on the back burner!

i remember when way back in the day people only complained about how rushed they felt and maybe they should stop delivering on such a harsh monthly schedule and extend their time between them a bit
Sure, and ten days isn't that meaningful in the grand scheme of things, but in terms of my already wafer-thin trust that an episodic game series will actually keep to a schedule, it basically solidified Life is Strange as a 'buy when complete' game.
Is it possible to literally fart out a UI. I think that is what they do sometimes

But what about price mistakes?
In other news, the Pillars of Eternity manual is up on Steam. It's really happening. Time to plan my first character.

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 problem is that this page is just a copy/paste from the Brazilian Real page they used years ago, and they've been re-purposing it for each new currency that they support.
Which wasn't a problem until they recently added more stuff to the top bar and obviously didn't test it with the V5 CSS that these pages load.
I haven't heard of any. As Madjoki pointed out earlier, the jump from USD -> NZD doesn't have any decimal place modification so it's be pretty silly for a dev to screw things up too badly.

all the life is strange talk is making the struggle to get home and play some more harder
I think people are way overstating the Life is Strange choices and are setting themselves up for disappointment by the end. The majority of choices in Episode 1 had very Telltaleish responses in Episode 2, with a line of dialogue changing and awkward "This is what I think of what you did" exchanges.
Ya, not helping...lol

QuestEvent was released on early access earlier today. Stay away from this one.
I'm honestly surprised this made it on Steam. Even for an Early Access game, it's a bit of a joke.
EDIT: holy hell, it's even worse! From the developer's blog:
Seriously, how was this allowed on Steam?
ANOTHER EDIT: I guess the reason it was allowed is because it got greenlit when they promised everyone it would be free. Greenlight page.
- They're using the default RPG Maker tileset. Lazy.
- The game doesn't look like it's been fully translated to English:
- According to their website, development on this game ceased last October.
- The game, in it's current "Early Access" state, is available for free download from the developer's site

Yeah, i find weird how people saying its so much better than telltale just because of this episode when episode 3 could easily pull a telltale and episode 2 choices won't matter much. Too early to start making claims like this.

Amazing. Will be buying that so I won't have to deal with the official version disappearing like the 360 ones are.
I use a long cord so I think it just rub because of how I have my set up. It doesn't happen too often so it's not a huge deal.
I'm on windows 7 but im sure with some messing around I could get it to work.

Fucking tuesday maintenance, i want to see the stats for Episode 2.

I told you it was good.Wow the climax of Life is Strange episode 2....
Telltale should be ashamed, they got beaten in their own game.

Good luck!
Oh yeah, if you do pick up a new cable, go with Monoprice. It's cheap, and they'll always send you a new cable when your old one breaks.

Freedom Planet is pretty good. I just wish there was a way to cut levels in half or something. I'm not a fan of 20 minute long levels with multiple bosses.

Thought they may have downloaded the digital goodies with the Pillars of Eternity pre-load, sadly I was mistaken... I'll be content with the out of date manual though, begrudgingly.

Just finished Life is Strange Episode 2.
Oh man SteamGAF sure wasn't lying about that. Was amazing, everything I wanted to see the game do. Now it looks like were getting to the good stuff. Can't wait to see what will be happening next. When a story has me pausing to think about what might be happening in the future, it's doing something right. I got say though I don't like Chloe, but not in the regular way. Growing up I knew more than a few people like her and as for what has been shown so far it bugs me to see that sort of thing again. Hard to explain but that's just a personal thing. On the other hand
Right now there's only one thing really bugging me but since I have to see where it plays out I can't really say it's bad
. I'll see where that goes, but I would have been completely fine if this game was nothing but this High School life with the rewind mechanic just being part of the gameplay and not the story. But I have to see where this all leads with the rest of the episodes since I can see myself doing some 180s. I sure am excited to see what is next.
Actually the controller I have now is from Monoprice after you brought it up! It's not the cable but rather just the way I have things set up so i'll mess with my setup a bit.

I really like katie and am really glad I was able to fix her. Really hoping that helps turns the tide in the battle.

I'm so happy so many regulars in this thread are riding so hard for the series. If they keeping building from Ep2's conclusion, it's easily GOTY material for me.
oh i see i see. 380 is my max. got a bit of time before i reach that
also, why wouldn't you check?
i adopted that policy a while back and it sort of works for the whole backburner thing. i end up with less games that i would if i just bought everything i saw on sale but i end up playing way more, i think
and like i'll pay full price for like christine love's next game or whatever, and pass on something that's .50c even if it looks interesting, but it works for me at least
i have the busiest day tomorrow, and i bet eternity won't run so good with my current video card, i can't get my new video card soon enough
i'm buying a new one next week, and tbh i don't really miss having a good video card all that much, but if i can't play eternity i'm gonna freak
too bad about the spiders in this game tho, i dunno how i'm gonna get through that

I'm a believer now. Ep1 I was liking but not quite there yet. With Ep2 indeed, if they can keep the train going I can see it being my GOTY as well.

Indeed, the game made you care about a character a lot in one episode's time, that's really some achievement.

How did you manage that? Must have taken some serious force to bend it that much

I picked a bad time to be redeeming a bunch of newly-added bundle keys.
So the New Zealand Pricing has come into effect and I am pleasantly surprised.
It seems like they have removed the over pricing (GTA 5 was $75 USD and is now $75 NZD which is under $60 USD) and we have a slight exchange rate advantage (saving a couple of dollars if directly converted).
I, and I think anyone from New Zealand will be really happy with these changes!

i take this as admission of guilt and as jury, judge and executioner i take your head in the name of valkyria
Seriously, how? That's one case where Valve should have sticked to their guns.

you can beat most levels in 9 minutes or less , you just have to know how

adapter is pretty heavy and the HDMI port is straight, so it kinda hung there, guessing gravity just did it's thing eventually
when I get a new one tomorrow i'll make sure to find a way around that
