I had to start a new game at the entrance of the Cirromon Caverns in Dust, I changed the difficulty to Tough on Abadis Forest because the game was too easy on Normal but then I read that the achievement doesn't unlock if you change the difficulty mid-play. Replaying the beginning didn't take so long since all dialogue is thankfully skippable and the combat is very enjoyable too.

Really liking the game. After the middle section I started to get mildly annoyed by hits that leave you with 1 hp, but I'm not even mad considering that in the 360 version those were actually 1-hit kills (shieeeet.gif).

Got up to the end of the Sorrowing Meadow. Those Necromancers were a bitch to deal with, serves me right for not upgrading Fidget's range attack beyond the absolute essential. I ignored them right to the very last mansion, until I realized they dropped the Lost Soul item I was needing for my best three blueprints. Lol.

Yeah, I just downloaded Furry: An Elysian Tale myself and am honestly shocked at how decent the combat system is. My only complaint is that Furry's twirl attack is mapped to the same "secondary attack" button that his throw is tied to. Also doing the "Izuna Drop" combo (XY, XXY) means doing that twirl attack in the air if you hold the button. Makes hammering out combos seem to be "luck" more than anything.

Surprise of the Steam sale for me.

Spoiler

Yes, I know the proper name, but having all the dialog voiced as "Furry, do this" makes the game more comedic for me.

Was just checking CAG, to see if Tony updated the Amazon deals. From the 9th to the 18th, Brothers will be $8. Which is a really good price, IF you have the $5 promo credits.

Today in Belated Steam Releases: Spicey Horse's Grimm ($10).

Is this the game that was Gametap exclusive at one point? I remember wanting to try it. I didn't realize they made so many episodes

8$ is a good price for Brothers, with or without promo credit.

Bundlestars Cities in Motion bundle. Basically, the first Cities in Motion with all 13 city DLCs for 4.41€

 

[C00kie M0nster]

So what genre is Grimm exactly? I can't really tell from the video or screenshots. It seems like an Epic Mickey type of game which I can't say I was too fond of.

Ninja Blade is bad, and I don't think GMG sells a Steam key. I think it also uses Securom.

Amazing deal, will get.

 

[MMBosstones86]

Isn't Kingdom Rush supposed to be released on Steam today? I've spent way more time than I'd like to admit playing it on my tablet. I suppose it's too much to expect Steam keys for Humble Bundle Mobile #3 buyers...

oh snap.

and yeah, probably too much. for shame.

 

[Deleted member 125677]

Yes, none unlocked for me despite completing the game

I got them all, which are you having trouble with?

I know there are a couple where you need to get both brothers to do something, etc. otherwise they won't unlock.
But ones like the sheep and the rabbit shouldn't have any problems that I can think of and worked fine for me.

I got one after finishing it. Seams you have to go out of your way to do certain actions in certain chapters to get them. Looking over the list after finishing it they all seam cryptic but quite easy to do/work out. Or you could just cheat and get a guide.

They're not the usual progress achievements. It's all stuff you have to seek out for yourself.

I'm pretty certain I've done at least the rabbit thing, but maybe I should try again.

 

[Turfster]

And a bad game.

That's not as important as the fact that it's not Steam.

 

[Tizoc]

Do GMG discount codes stack? Like say I got a 30% discount code from them and they have a 25% discount code offer for pre-orders, can I combine them?
Thief 2014 for under $30 sounds tempting to me...

 

[Deques]

14 individual keys? Why do they do this to me? Why no all in one key?

Don't do it.
Also, I don't think they stack.

Bigger numbers are betterer!

No. This is why GMG's 30% discount code for Aussie Taxed games isn't as great a kindness as GMG made it out to be since people in other territories still get a better deal thanks to the one-two punch of a cheaper base price and a 20%+ discount code.

I don't think they do. Christ they don't work on more than 1 item in your cart. Though they still do stack over store discounts sometimes.

 

[jshackles]

Well, reading their Greenlight page it looks like they remade the game from the ground up, and (I can't really tell) but it seems they've added extra levels and heroes. I'm kind of excited, I might pick it up this weekend.

 

[Gamerloid]

I'm loving the Steam Machine news we're getting today. Still waiting on Origin PC.

 

[ArjanN]

That's not as important as the fact that it's not Steam.

Ninja Blade is OK, basically something along the lines of Marlow Briggs. A B-tier character action game.

 

[Echoplx]

The deed is done.

I am holding you entirely responsible for this PriitV! If this goes wrong I shall punish you by spamming you with Steam screenies and suggestive captions until you either de-friend me or gouge your own eyes out with a spoon!

Only kidding I take full responsibility for my own decisions.

Dammit!

Not sure how you're handling this but I'm definitely interested in a copy! Thanks for doing this <3

 

[Turfster]

The game is OK, basically something along the lines of Marlow Briggs. A B-tier character action game.

I wasn't making a statement about it being a good or bad game, I was just saying most people wouldn't care because it would only be a +1 in their Steam library, and since it's not a Steam version, it becomes moot

 

[Leon Belmont]

And a bad game.

Man it doesn't matter if it's a good or a bad game, it's about collecting them, just like Pokemons!

 

[Deques]

Bigger numbers are betterer!

It's such a pain to redeem 14 keys for each item

I bought it anyway

 

[drizzle]

Oh hell yes I won Unearthed.

This is gonna be gud.gif

 

[dirtywhirlwind]

Might be old news but Gunman Clive keys are now available for people who bought Indie Royale's first Debut bundle.

 

[Tizoc]

No. This is why GMG's 30% discount code for Aussie Taxed games isn't as great a kindness as GMG made it out to be since people in other territories still get a better deal thanks to the one-two punch of a cheaper base price and a 20%+ discount code.

Hmm I see, I did get a 30% discount code from them once but didn't use it. since none of the game it worked with interested me.

 

[morningbus]

Yeah, I'm looking forward to Electronic Art's response to the Steam Machines, too.

what did you buy that was 14 seperate keys?

 

[Deques]

I wanted the dlcs

that doesnt awnser my "what" question lol

edit: i assume its this new bundle stars cities in motion thing? just noticed it when looking for new bundles

Most likely this.

But... I already have Cities in Motion 2....

 

[Copons]

I'm playing a bit of the oldies but goldies Dreamcast classic Sonic Adventures and I must say:

1) Sonic Adventure DX is a crappy conversion (if you pick a res higher than 1024x720 it adds a huge frame, wtf?) and the game aged really really bad.

2) Sonic Adventure 2, instead, seems a very good conversion (actual 1440x900, somewhat hi-res texture - at least higher than DC ones) and the game is SO SO SO SO SO SO GOOD (and it's not the nostalgia speaking!). Even the Knuckles/Bat gal stages, that sucked back then, they still suck today, but is not like they're worse, they just suck the same.

 

[Rhaknar]

But... I already have Cities in Motion 2....

what I was gonna say lol

no new indieroyale, no new indiegala, no new games greenlit... boring monday

 

[Turfster]

One extra game and 13 extra DLCs for your totals!
CiM2 is better in quite a few aspects, but the streamlining also did a number on some of them. It lost the historic aspect, and is more generic cities than actual real life locations.

 

[Deques]

that doesnt awnser my "what" question lol

Ah, sorry, I misread your question. Yes, it is indeed the Cities in Motion bundle. Only the first game though.

Telltale couldn't afford to keep the coveted Wallace and Gromit license. I expect a reign of 10 years where only EA can make W&G games.

I was at first unhappy to buy them on gog.com, but now, not so much.

If I remember rightly Sonic Adventure is just the same old Dreamcast Hits pc port from way back when but Sonic Adventure 2 is the Xbox 360 port so it has a little more love showered upon it including achievements.
