merry xmas (GOG/Steam direct download weekly specials)

been trying this year not to add to the infinite backlog, but i kinda like that Unity bundle and having a bunch of assets I will never, ever use as I have no idea how to program Unity

but Shadows of the Shogun and Torment look good, so fly away $15...

I think Unity's pretty easy to learn! (at least, like, comparable to Unreal, I think?)

LootCrate started their own Humble Monthly Bundle competitor, LootPlay. Same idea - one title revealed, the remaining games are a mystery.

very easy to get some basic stuff going but you need to know c# for collision/events etc

I knew Hyper Light Drifter was an inevitable inclusion - currently in tier 3 of this year's Day of the Devs bundle at a reasonable $12 (with Minit!)

it starts...

Catherine just released on Steam, although it's "Catherine Classic" meaning it's prob the same game as on PS3 and 360, but Atlus is soon releasing an expanded one for PS4 (and PS Vita apparently?! Lol) so might just be worth waiting for that. Still, if it's a game yr interested in and yr on PC only, there you go!

Also apparently Ubi has jumped ship from Steam to Epic Games launcher/store thing?

i thought ubi already had their own launcher

They do, but the install base probably sucks

A Story About My Uncle is free on Steam today.

Looks like the free Humble bundle deal is gone for that game, but it's still half off...

haven't paid for a bundle in a while but the strategy one looks good -- i've wanted to grab stellaris for a while and niche looks interesting too

Worth going up $5 to get CLANNAD from the current Humble Hot Date bundle?

Welp I forgot to buy that

Anyway, I was a big fan of One Finger Death Punch. The sequel came out a few days ago and was immediately bundled for less than the retail price.

Assassins Creed Unity free for the next week

Thanks zappi

This digital board game humble bundle is pretty solid: https://www.humblebundle.com/games/more-board-games-asmodee

guacamelee 1 is free on humble bundle today.

Toonstruck is free on gog.com for the next 15 hours ("ends at 2 PM UTC on June 16, 2019")

it's p. old and no idea if it's any good (there is one favourable ILX comment from a billion years ago) but I was pissed off to check my email just too late to claim the last free game, so, thought I'd mention this

Danganronpa trilogy for $18 or so on steam.
https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/5838/Danganronpa_12V3/

also Zero Escape trilogy is $8

I saw that a couple things on my Steam wishlist (Into the Breach, Wargroove) are on sale. Should I wait for BF instead?

Nah, Steam event sales ain't what they used to be.
What I WOULD do is check the games on isthereanydeal and compare to their historical lows.

Ah, thanks for the tip!

All three Dark Souls games for PC with full add on content for about $50. if you've missed one or never done them, now's the time.

Steam autumn sale is up, probably the most interesting thing is that weird Steam controller which they are discontinuing and so now selling for £4/$5 plus shipping.

there's a better than usual sale on google play (the android store) too. Lots of board games adaptations.

already bought the weird Steam controller, i've always been curious how it feels. strange that they're killing it after just having released Index, though

Portal 2 is 71p in the stream sale!

Might take a punt on Dead Space - lots of reports of problems on win10 but it's cheap enough to risk.

Dead Space is good

Anyone likes the awesome pixel art banner should check out the artist on insta: https://instagram.com/waneella

cool thanks!

good banner, good pixel art instagram, thanks

and I note a soda machine in the banner & many of the other pics for fans of the Video Game Soda Machine Project

(I have become slightly obsessed with video game soda machines since reading the piece about them/vgsmproject in Wireframe mag a month or two ago)

Mega Mall Story 2 sounds like a game I have to play

I could never get the hang of the Steam controller, I even offered it for free to a friend who refused it. I guess I'll keep if for historic reasons now then.

picked up Tron 2.0 for a couple of quid, other than that nothing on my wishlist at any decent discount. Might have a browse tonight though.

Rayman Legends is free on Epic fyi

...but it doesn`t seem to work! lol

any great deals? thinking about grabbing code vein for ps4 for $35...

I bought Persona 5 for $10.

that's a great price for it -- i already own it or i'd jump at that

is ark survival worth getting on ps4 for $17? i haven't played it on any platforms. castle crashers for $8.99 (might be a good game to play couch co-op with my kids?). is code vein worth $35 or wait until it's persona 5 priced? would i like monster hunter world ($15) haven't played any of them in the series. catherine: full body for $30? haven't played it in any version. detroit: become human for $10 (lol not for any price is my suspicion). v much appreciate any recommendations esp if u know anything about my taste but even if u don't

castle crashers is a great co-op game. pretty old at this point, but i assume it's an hd remaster?

Catherine is ... enough that you wanna wait until it's lower
