new humble bundle = nuclear throne for $10 which really is enough on its own but you also get lethal league, the beginner's guide, galak-z, lovers in a dangerous spacetime, octodad, super time force ultra, and new games coming -- ALL MAC COMPATIBLE
― Mordy, Tuesday, 16 August 2016 21:41 (seven years ago) link
yeah, the survive this bundle is also pretty rad.
― thrusted pelvis-first back (ulysses), Tuesday, 16 August 2016 22:09 (seven years ago) link
galak z and super time force are both really fun

aw yeah, i'm in for HIB 17
― Nhex, Wednesday, 17 August 2016 00:10 (seven years ago) link
why is nuclear throne good again
― the ghost of tom, choad (thomp), Wednesday, 17 August 2016 01:21 (seven years ago) link
yr asking bc you don't like it or bc you want me to pitch it? it's a post-apoc roguelike that is v demanding but rewarding w/ a fun aesthetic + lots of variety in weapon loadouts, monsters (w/ interesting sets of behavior), hidden secrets, replay-ability, etc. i think binding of isaac fans would like it.
― Mordy, Wednesday, 17 August 2016 01:23 (seven years ago) link
the latter, idk, i read the humble bundle summary and i was like 'have i played this game or not'
i don't know if yr description appeals to me or not -- i played like twenty, thirty hours of binding of isaac and yet i'm pretty sure i don't think it is 'good' in any worthwhile sense
― the ghost of tom, choad (thomp), Thursday, 18 August 2016 14:01 (seven years ago) link
if you don't think binding of isaac is good, a) you probably won't like nuclear throne and b) you and i clearly want different things from our games :p
― Mordy, Thursday, 18 August 2016 14:07 (seven years ago) link
i prefer nuclear throne to binding of isaac but that is largely because i don't like the binding of isaac aesthetic at all.
― adam, Thursday, 18 August 2016 14:09 (seven years ago) link
I like Nuclear Throne a whole bunch but I greatly prefer the way BoI handles shooting. both games, however, are extremely great (although I mostly play both on Vita while I have a movie or whatever on in the background).
Galak-Z is also phenomenal although I am incredibly bad at it. in general I have a lot of love for games which play like SNES games with current-gen physics/logic/memory under the hood (see also: Spelunky, Rogue Legacy, Risk of Rain)

fantastic sierra humble bundle (sadly none for mac)
― Mordy, Tuesday, 30 August 2016 22:03 (seven years ago) link
between HIB 17, the Capcom one and this one in 3 weeks they're killing it a little too hard for my wallet
― Nhex, Wednesday, 31 August 2016 00:17 (seven years ago) link
synchronicity with the latest http://www.filfre.net/ article, which was about Sierra/KQ4 and made me super nostalgic for Sierra games even though the general gist was that KQ4 was horrible and impossible and not even fun (but had good sound)
I sort of want the Gabriel Knights and QfGs but the "pay more" options are a bit pricy for a bunch of elderly games which I'll never play and which were probably immensely frustrating so maybe I'll just put down a buck for the Space Quests and Police Quests
(I think PQ1 was my first graphical adventure? People say it's ridiculous how often you die, ohh man you die just because you didn't walk round the car before driving wah wah waah, but I played when I was young and quite bad at even basic game interaction and saving/dying every 20 seconds was all part of the game to me, constant instadeath not really bothering me tbh. PQ2 however, where I left the scene of the crime prematurely after my colleague told me to chase the bad guy and I got stuck in an insoluble state... or that annoying chasm walk in KQ3 which was bad enough the first time but should definitely have been unnecessary all subsequent times...)

Some decent minimum-tier games on humblebundle.comOdallus: The Dark Call -- A platformer inspired by Castlevania: SOTN. Got a big gameplay overhaul a few months ago.Broken AgeTitan Souls
― Einstein, Kazanga, Sitar (abanana), Sunday, 30 October 2016 06:23 (seven years ago) link
I mixed up Odallus and Slain. Both based on SOTN but Slain was the overhauled one.

any recommendations on the best of the bunch?

those are a lot of games i've never heard of
― Mordy, Tuesday, 22 November 2016 23:45 (seven years ago) link
Read Only Memories, Gone Home, Proteus are all worthwhile.

dishonored 2 for $35, mankind divided for $25 and x-com 2 for $30 all on amazon. i could get... 1 or maybe 2 of them. can anyone rate them?
― Mordy, Thursday, 24 November 2016 16:41 (seven years ago) link
also far cry 4 for $15 and the division for $20
― Mordy, Thursday, 24 November 2016 19:40 (seven years ago) link
Might as well just rename this holiday Backlog Day. Already dipped on Overwatch last week, Mad Max and Borderlands: Handsome Collection today, agonizing on how much more money I want to waste. Tempted on this year's Deus Ex, Doom, MGSV complete, Star Wars: Battlefront complete with the new Rogue One DLC, Witcher 3 complete, GTAV, MKXL all ~$25 from different retailers. Also some cheap older ones like the the Assassin's Creeds Unity/Syndicate ($8) and countless $4 blu-rays. Peer pressure me, guys.

And I've barely scraped GMG and Steam for their deals...

I can highly recommend Witcher 3
― Mordy, Thursday, 24 November 2016 22:50 (seven years ago) link
i picked up mankind divided for $25 and prodded my single friend w/ more disposable income to buy all the other good deals so i can borrow them from him when he's done

my stupid black friday purchase was to pick up rear speakers + centre speaker to turn my 2.0 hifi into a 5.0 hifi (dunno if i'll ever bother getting the .1)
are ps4 games good w/ surround sound?
― mint challop (Will M.), Friday, 25 November 2016 16:47 (seven years ago) link
Generally yes. I used to have 5.1 but moved my setup to a smaller room and haven't yet been bothered to connect the rear speakers, and I definitely miss the extra info they gave me in eg Destiny
― JimD, Friday, 25 November 2016 23:31 (seven years ago) link
just picked up the division for $12 at gamestop. pretty good price i thought.
― Mordy, Friday, 30 December 2016 19:18 (seven years ago) link
XCOM 2 is next month's Humble Monthly, seems worth it for $12

that is an amazing bundle. too bad the only game i really want from it (the witness) doesn't work on osx.

mentioned it in the wrong thread, but they're already running out of keys for new buyers on certain games (guessing this happened past the 100k mark), so might as well get in now
