Why can't I preorder owlboy on steam? I have some cards money to spend.
Also, is 69€ the new standard price for the steam controller + link bundle? The discount doesn't seem to be timed.

Spooky.
Inferno Climber is on sale at 35% off.
Personal GOTY. Huge game (currently 60 hours in and still long ways to go) with fantastic level design in a interconnected world with satisfying progression, quirky system that's a joy to discover, lots of secrets to find, fun but sort of old school simplistic combat, lots of character stats to level up etc etc.
Honestly, super impressive work done by a small team of supposedly 1-5 members, and if this is the kind of fresh take you get with a tiny team like that at Arc System Works, they should divide the entire company with 5.
Actually, for the first time in my history with Steam, this game has got me to hold off purchasing or starting new games until I feel like I'm done with this one. IMO, that says a lot.
Okay, this sold me on the game. Will check it out tonight.

It'll cost more than Oxenfree and Ghost 1.0 :V
Valve recommends against pre-orders for titles with little to no marketing as it believes pre-purchase periods are not as effective as release day purchasability combined with a launch week discount and D-Pad agreed.
$25, though pre-orders are 10% off on GOG and Humble so I assume there'll be a 10% launch week promotion on Steam.

Owlboy looks like another forgettable platformer to me. Nothing I've seen besides the art/animations have done anything to excite me about it.

Sorry for the off topic remark, but I can't believe that Newegg electronic gift cards are not immediately sent once payment is verified.
I thought I was being smart by purchasing a gift card so that I could pay for my GTX 1070 with 2 different cards (one of which was a pre-paid VISA card, otherwise I wouldn't have bothered with this).
They are telling me it takes 1-2 business days to process a gift card order lol.

It's not exactly a platformer
Well then I guess the store page and videos I've seen haven't really shown the game off too well lol.

Well I've avoided watching videos but what I gathered from impressions is that it mixes Platforming with Metroidvania which isn't saying much since Metroidvania games have platforming elements (depending on the game).
You'd be surprised how often I let blind hype get to me...and more often than not I'm satisfied :3

Interesting. I didn't know Valve advised against pre-orders for smaller titles. Well as long as we get the same 10% discount on Steam, I'm happy.
just got a groupees email about their current bundles and about Be Mine 28 it says:
"The 28th Edition of our Be Mine bundle features 6 indie gems including Blacks Odyssey, The Last Door Season 2 and Midsummer Night. Also includes Limited Edition $1 Prost! Coin. $1 minimum with support to Girls Not Brides."
but theres no Last Door Season 2 in that bundle, unless its the mystery game. Which is stupid since it would be the highest profile game to push the bundle

Today I played through a 2016 shooter singleplayer campaign made with Source engine and it was fantastic, best shooter campaign of the year and with seriously great visuals on top of everything else. It also had great music, a bit like certain Half-life series. I thought of Half-life and Portal multiple times today playing this game.
It was not made by Valve and the game doesn't exist on Steam. It was sequel to another Source engine game and both games were released after Valve released their last game (ever?).
I wish Valve made singleplayer games again.

The Lab was released this year.
Why would you post something like this and not name the game?
It's Titanfall 2.
Thank you, JaseC. I had no idea those games were running on Source, wow.

The source engine is looking rough in spots, even with all the work respawn has done on it.
Some texture's are ridiculously bad. Look at this shit. That's only one of many spots in the game that just look rough.
Regardless of that though the campaign itself was fine. It was better than the typical COD campaign. But still not anything that'll leave a lasting impression. In 5 years, no one is going to be talking about Titanfall 2 SP as some amazing campaign that everyone should play or something. I sound really negative, but I did enjoy my time with the SP. Though I wouldn't say it's worth $60. Which is the case for all COD style FPS campaigns really.
I know the draw should be the MP, but even with the changes from after the beta. I just don't like what they have done with the MP. Attrition is an after thought on the new maps. A lot of the maps are too big and lane focused. Plus the entire game has lost the frentic pace of TF1. I liked in TF1 how fast Titans dropped, and how quickly you would see titans dropping and just the chaos that ensued. In TF2 to me, it really does feel like a standard COD game with some Mech killstreaks. I could say the changes are similar to like Halo 2 to Halo 3. Both technically the same game in theory, but there's enough changes between the two to be bothered by.
