A Double Fine sale is en route, probably as a Weekend Deal.

So i have 8 days to get ready for Steam Winter Sale. Let's see how much money i can collect in 8 days xD
Also reading those Destiny threads makes me so sad. When they announced that game i was so happy i liked everything they said, i liked their concept art and new universe. I wonder what happened during development of that game? Now i even don't want Destiny on PC no matter what they add.

I'm hoping Broken Age hits 75% off so I can jump on the game + OST bundle (even though I shouldn't have to).
D.) They were placeholder specs. There was no way the game was ever going to require 16gb of RAM.
dat excitement
Funny you say that now. I just started playing Escape Goat 2 yesterday, and am tempted to make a thread about it.
Such a well-designed game.

As someone who doesn't like Puzzle Platformers very much, would I like it and is the overall difficulty not very high?

Winter seal starts a few hours earlier than the SE surprise box I think, but yeah, weird

Activision
But Activision was involved from beginning. Early informations were really promising and interesting. Oh well i will wait Mass Effect 4 for epic space game with good story.

They won't find us on community :\
I just encountered my first pirate/enemy in Salt, which startled me at first because I turned around and he was standing directly behind me, not unlike Creepy Watson. The pickaxe doesn't seem to be very useful for combat, which is a little odd, but a couple of arrows did the trick.

Yes, its pretty easy (but secret stained glass levels on the contrary are hardcore (like SMB hardcore) so its not even fun to play)
I wonder if the Steam Sale thread can exist in the main Gaming forum, it's news, it's got a limited shelf life... a man can dream.
They exist until the January thread I believe? They're pretty much act like OTs to games that are on the main forum for a month before moving to Community.
Right now I am listening to the soundtrack. The music is great. I hope it will be discounted so I can buy the game
Still need to play through the first game
The idea that half a game might go on sale for that much is such a surreal thought.

DF-9 being on the 10$ tier on humblebundle was surrealier.
They can do better
Broken Age was in The Humble Double Fine Bundle. You had to pay $35 to get this game.
At that time Broken Age wasn't even available in Steam XD
Not really better...
It's almost 2015 and I still can't invite people to groups using Firefox.

Well it's not like Bungie didn't choose to work with them.
NingenJanai

Yeah, volvo works in a "special" way.
I know, what I meant is that all that crap is probably forced on Bungie by Activision, it's not like Bungie are calling the shots on the DLC pricing, etc.

Funny thing, the first review is from a DoubleFine employee
The guy is funny, and at least he disclosed he works for DF, not sure about the ethics of reviewing a game from your own company though.

He opens the review by stating as much, though. It'd be amusing if he deliberately hid that fact.

They've signed a contract. Bungie knew well what they got themselves into.
NingenJanai

Yeah, but maybe it was Activision or not getting the game done, it was a massive budget game and not many publishers can back that kind of game.
I agree Bungie are not guilt free, but the main culprit is Activision.
Why are you defending Activision anyway? hmmm :\
jk
why Hack 'n' Slash is tagged casual?
Seriously, I have this strange feeling (steam induced), that steam people have no idea what casual actually means (><)
because tagging games like Super Hexagon (for example) casual should be punishable by a ban offence, that's trolling at its lowest.
as I said, most of steam people seem to be clueless (><)

Cook, Serve, Delicious is also tagged casual >.<
But it is a casual game.
Casual doesn't imply easy, have you tried actually beating Zuma or Plantasia? Both are as hard as DMC3 on Dante Must Die. Causal is just simple. And you really can't have a game more simple than Super Hexagon...
By now we should know that many games are tagged incorrectly.
Disney Princess: Enchanted Journey is tagged being Violent and a Survival game
you are wrong, casual actually means exactly that, easy, you don't need skills or invest a lot of time, you just pick it and play, no matter your age or experience. For example Skyrim is casual, Tetris is casual (we aren't talking about mastering it, just playing for fun), pacman is casual, while Hack 'n' Slash, Circuits, Super Hexagon, etc. are not.
Simple is no casual, simple is simple.
That's the secret NG+ mode.
Really? I wonder why little girls get so violent sometimes, now I know XD
Princesses are like Highlanders. There can only be one and the endgame is Saint's Row like with the different princesses and their kingdoms fighting turf wars. It's your job to unite the kingdoms under your rule by murdering the princesses and their lieutenants.
you guys are talking about funny tags, there are a lot of those but they are pretty obvious, while casual tag is really misleading very often. What if I bought one of those "casual" games for a kid or grandma 80+ years old, or someone that never played a game in their life? That's just mean (><)
