With New Vegas done (for awhile - I'll inevitably go back to it again) I finally got around to starting Transformers: War for Cybertron last night. For an oldschool G1 fan like me, this game is pure distilled fanservice, and it plays well to boot. Really enjoying it so far.

We should be getting a new humble bundle today, right? They really went dark during the sale and never came back... I guess this one could be big...
 

JaseC

Thanks! And what about mac/PC compatibility? I tested it with one game, will it work with all of the cloud enabled games?

And also, do I risk my saves getting deleted or whatever if they reach a certain size limit?

Hope that steam makes it mandatory in the future.

Cross-platform save compatibility would technically depend on the game, but in most if not all cases I imagine it'd be present. If you hit your Steam Cloud quota for a game then I believe Steam begins to overwrite older files with newer ones -- you can check how much space you have remaining by right-clicking a game on your library, selecting "Properties" and switching to the "Updates" tab.

Hrm, Blade Symphony isn't actually as great as I thought it would be. It's pretty much just sword fighting duels and that's it.

Humble Daily
  • Democracy 3 66ish% off
  • Shadowrun Returns 75ish% off
  • Monaco 82ish% off
  • Gearcity EA 50ish% off
  • Amnesia Machine For Pigs 75% off

Kinda weird that they put Dragonfall on sale first, then did the base game.
Also, seriously Humble, would it kill you to add a percentage =p
 
Yo, awesome giveaway Cookie. Thanks for Sequence

Also, Papers Please finally got cards, i am so damn pumped about getting that badge
Or having more Steam fun bucks

If Canadians are so nice why is their national sport filled with violence, fighting, and weapons?

Is hockey Canada's purge?

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 Deponia Complete Journey pricing is pretty wild. I own the first two games, which gives me a 30% discount, making the complete package $27.99.

At this point
, if it weren't for having good friends,
it would be cheaper for me to buy the last game at full price ($19.99), then buy the "Complete" package for $3.99. Total cost = $23.98 which is $4.01 cheaper than just buying the complete package outright.

Kairo is on sale so you can get it for 1,6€ if you're into this sort of thing.

Yours truly made some bwoooms and some swoooshes (also called a soundtrack) for this.

Probably I'm late with this, but if someone missed the news or whatever (it's a weekly). ;-)

Is there still room for me to jump in? I don't mind sending the money over now and waiting.

I just replied to your PM. You can send the money through if you want (I'll PM you the address in a moment), but there's no saying how long you'll be waiting as I have to work through the other orders first.

If there's room for 1 more, I'll happily PayPal you the money. Might be a fun series to play through with the gf :)

I'm sure the decrease in Amazon deals has much more to do with them realizing they were just throwing away money chasing a market they would never have a large chunk of, and moving that focus to mobile (where there have been tons of deals in recent months).

That and so many of the great bundle deals we all remember from the peak of Tony were from THQ who were about to die and from Square-Enix who never seem to understand the PC market and were probably easily manipulated (and they still slash and burn their prices pretty regularly as we all know). Also, the Humble Weekly bundle didn't really exist then and has changed the marketplace quite a bit by introducing bundle deals from major publishers.

Plus, it never makes any sense to target the bargain hunters like CAG and Reddit, they aren't loyal, aren't ever happy with any deal that isn't the best ever, and don't actually spend a lot of money compared to people who buy games at release.
I doubt that the Humble Weekly Bundle affected Amazon very much at all. I think it probably has more to do with the new replacement for Tony maybe not having the same kind of drive or interest personally in his job that Tony had. His recent markedly decreasing personal interactions with CAG and the other communities that Tony frequented almost daily is I think legitimate evidence supporting this supposition. Of course, this may be due to an official shift by Amazon away from an emphasis on gaming community based input for decision making, who knows. Maybe Tony's push for direct interactions with the gaming community and pushing huge discounts didn't produce the increase in revenue/interest that they were looking for. It certainly did with me. If not for friendly Russian help with Steam purchases I would have spent much more through Amazon the past two big Holiday seasons than I did through Steam directly.

As for not spending as much money as those who buy at release, Gabe gave one example that during a huge 75% off price reduction their gross revenue increased by a factor of 40. I can't imagine that other digital distribution outlets aren't seeing the same trend on their ends, otherwise, why has Amazon spent multiple years pushing this, and why is GMG still pursuing the same strategy? If anything I think that their outdated creaky site format is what has held them back more than anything. It is hard to know when deals are on, you are basically forced to check other community pages/threads for deal info. Why should I have to go to CAG or Reddit to get official info about their own deals? They still have the same problems with showing game credit on accounts, same bad UI for the digital games section, same problems with purchasing multiple items at once. Really basic stuff that should have been fixed years ago but probably won't because the infrastructure is too big. At least that is the impression I got from comments by Tony.
 
I wake up and skim what I missed. Now I'm really hungry, thanks steamGaf.

To stay on topic: Dark Souls 1 would be the better souls game on PC if it wasn't tied down by GFWL. I'm still waiting for the day that finally happens.

Have you run into issues with GFWL? I'm not saying it's not shitty, but after I initially signed in it's never really bothered me since.
I finally finished Anor Londo last night. I'm enjoying the game but I also kind of want it to be over.

it's probably been mentioned but anyone who bought the lazy guys blurred shapes bundle should check their email for a Memories of a Vagabond key which looks like a typical bad rpg maker game but actually has pretty decent user reviews
