lol

All the money, time, and energy that went into that event to announce the release date, only to have the delay announced in a press release email lol.

Man, there are some really great games coming out this month. Talk about choices...

The best way to deal with the mess that is the Windows 10 store downloads is to just start download and leave it alone for several hours until it does what it needs to fully install/finalize everything. Its got a mind of its own. Best not to interfere.

Really looking forward to this

What the hell am I looking at?

I bought TIS-1000 last Steam sale but haven't gotten around to playing it mostly because I don't know assembly.

It comes with a manual, and IMO it does a good job with the difficulty scaling so you don't get too lost.

The manual doesn't really explain anything from the quick read I did of it. It gives the commands, but it doesn't tutorial the first puzzle to give you a grip on understanding the "logic" of the puzzle.

I don't understand all these bullet hell games, period. They seem to be the only thing anyone's interested in developing anymore. I'd like to see some new classic-style shmups, where your "ship's" not some two-pixel hitbox with a picture of a schoolgirl on top, and you're quickly dodging fire rather than carefully maneuvering your "ship" through a screen-filling maze of slowly moving particles.
Someone asked about non-bullet-hell shmups in the PC Shmups thread a couple weeks ago. The responses included Raiden, Satazius, Strania, Eschatos, DariusBurst AC, and Valkyrius Prime.
There are plenty of shmups on Steam for all tastes these days.

I guess it's a subjective experience, I read the manual and just looking at the first puzzle I knew what I had to do. I learned some assembly on uni, but I only remembered a little so I don't think it mattered much.

In any case, there is this cool guide that does a pretty good job of explaining the basic stuff.

Thanks for the heads up. Knew about Raiden, Satazius and DariusBurst AC already - going to have to check out Strania, Eschatos and Valkyrius Prime.

but where's Radiant Silvergun doe

WHERE IS IT

In my Saturn.

You're right, though. RS needs to be on Steam. Enjoyed it much more than Ikaruga. I know, I know, burn the heretic, blah blah blah, but it's true.

Once again, here are the sales of higher-profile games released in September. Battlerite seems to be the new indie darling. I also looked again at the late August releases.

Mugen Souls Z - 1,891 ± 1,114

That's bad for smash+grab even after one week.

Pretty average numbers for gal gun too, I had a look at the steam page and honestly had no idea what the game was about from just looking at the screens and video.

Give it a few more days, it came out just this week. It's an on-rails shooter.

Dispatcher Revoke looks interesting..

New thread and all that.

It does look interesting, but I'm not sure how I feel about this bit:

- the game DOES NOT CONTAIN a campaign AND NEVER WILL: it consists of individual rounds, the aim of which is to carry out various tasks and escape from the ship

I mean, I'm not sure "we're never going to have a real campaign mode" is something you'd be proud of and make a bullet point.

After downloading ReCore and Forza Horizon 3 unscathed, I've been got by Gears of War 4, after 90gb of bullshit downloaded, it's still not installed and I keep getting errors that are "on Microsoft's end". I ask myself, is it even worth it?

Great/Good

Divinity: Original Sin 2 - 57,947 ± 6,168

Bah. I don't want to be "that guy", but can we remember that D: OS2 was Kickstarted, and backers got their keys this month. This is total owners, not sales.

How Metroidvania is Outland? It's got the tag and i want/have to know.

Is it purely dependant of the colour system? or do you get other items and abilitys along the way?
 
i5 3570k @ 4.2 Ghz
GTX 1070
8GB of RAM

Forza wants to default me to medium but runs at 4k Ultra 60fps almost all the time. Does UWP downsample or does it not matter since it isn't exclusive fullscreen?

How is Smash and Grab anyway? I never got a chance to play the beta myself, but from watching it, it seemed sort of repetitive.

would love to add ladykiller in a bind to the releases list

it's the latest game by christine love (of analogue a hate story and hate plus fame, and other really cool games too), a visual novel in which you play as the crossdressing sister to a douchy prince and you go around a cruise doing social manipulation and flirting and stuff. there's also a lady with a whip that like whips you if you misbehave but then u want to misbehave cos it's fun and you end up all whipped and stuff

it's awesome

it's also probably gonna flip your shit by subverting your expectations in two dozen different ways

and it's out october 10th

it has boobs in it so idk what steam's policy is on boobs. they're not gross pandering boobs like shitty sakura games, this is an actual thoughtful and interactive game that involves some eroticism so boobs must be involved, but it's not up on steam yet so that's scary

either way i'll remind everyone when it's out cos it's awesome
 

Stumpokapow

listen to the mad man
to be fair, in terms of "adequate compensation", the fair market value for a windows 10 universal windows platform app store key is $0. maybe nvidia can compensate buyers by offering them comparably useless paragon spacebucks.

How Metroidvania is Outland? It's got the tag and i want/have to know.

A bit but not a lot. It is an action platformer. There are bosses. You do unlock new abilities. Abilities do allow you to access more areas. But if you're expecting some of the surprising "wait, what, I had no idea that the map had this hidden complexity to it" like SOTN or Super Metroid, no, it's a lot more linear than that.

Maybe the more productive comment is that if you generally like Metroidvanias, I suspect you will like Outland, irrespective of whether you classify it as one.

I didn't think they could get me to take Microsoft's side, but GAF finds a way.

B-B-BUT THE $10 -100 IM OUT FOR UPCHARGING THE KEYS

/sarcasm

edit: holy shit a lot comes out this month
Lmao
I'm not buying gears 4 at $60 :') it'll be what, $30-40 black friday? Horizon was $20 today, got witcher atm, just hit chapter 4
I think I'm set, but...damn.
 
Of course I had to be social when that Horizon deal went up. If anyone has one I'll buy ❤

Clustertrucks has been a surprising joy given I didn't know about it until the day I bought it. Utter chaos and just a blast to see what they throw at you next. Some of the randomness can be frustrating tho on the harder levels where you can't really practice given the trucks explode differently each time.
 
I'm vacationing in Europe for a few more days (from US). Are there any other European digital game prices that I should take advantage of while I'm here?
