WTF? Civ 5 with all DLC 92% off? Is this a bug? http://store.steampowered.com/bundle/575/

That's not even the worst one I've seen. One time I saw a game for -800%, so, if they had let you buy it (they didn't.), you would've received about $40.00 iirc.

Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 will finally make its way to PC today. Sounds like it'll be quite expensive, though.

First one also released on Steam: http://store.steampowered.com/app/433300/

Aaaaand they're broken as fuck.

Well played, Activision.

 

[Astral Rag]

40€ for a terrible port of a 2006 game...

If you are going to charge close to full retail price for your game, at least make an effort to have it playable. Very first button prompt, the please press A part doesn't work. How does that get passed QA. Come on.

The game litterally came out today. Game developers NEVER make a perfect game on release. Sure there are some major and minor bugs, glitches, not working functions. That's not a valid reason to give a bad review.

No game must ever need more than 4 gigs of RAM, this is some hardcore fuckery

Lemme guess... powered by Unity (TM)?

VR games are on sale this weekend. Not many big discounts, but a good amount of titles are 25-30% off. It's better than the summer sale was for VR at least.

I want to slap the dude in the second quote. Fucking hell.

 

[tormund]

Surprisingly, comments like that are p rare in this case. I guess that game is so completely broken and overpriced that apologists and general game industry lovers have really hard time defending it without looking like trolls.

You can still see gems like this on game's steam forum though

PC Gamers embarrass themselves again

Another defeat for the image of of PC gaming community and for steam's user review system. PC gamers were always more whiny and entitled than others, but nowadays they are worse than ever and with the possiblity of review bombing of every game they dislike their whining can actually hurt the devs and publishers.

God job guys, I can imagine your reaction once big publishers start avaoiding PC ports once again...

A few Codex-semi-approved things I took advantage of today:

Hard Reset Extended is 85% off, meaning $2.24. After you buy it, Hard Reset Redux is $3.00. That's $5.24 for a few playthroughs of a nice, loose shooter revolving around weapon customization (and in Redux, a Katana and a dodge mechanic.)

A bundle of the "coffee-break" roguelite One-Way Heroics and its expansion is currently 69% off, or $3.11.

If you want Stranger's Wrath, and/or are curious about Munch's Oddysee... The Oddbox is $6.49 -- Stranger's alone is usually $9.99. Munch alone is like $2 if you're looking to round out your collection.

Icy for $3.24, 75% off. Valid until the 9th. I guess I'll finally pick it up now...

 

[DwarvenFood]

Dex is also -75% off

Near Death, "not a survival game, but instead a game about surviving" set in Antarctica, from a designer who previously worked on Deus Ex, DX: Invisible War, and Bioshock 2: http://store.steampowered.com/app/327560/

• A fully explorable Antarctic research station with seamless open world navigation over an unforgiving landscape.
  
• Unique gameplay and innovative player tools suited to the harsh realities of a frigid, dark continent. Mark your way with light trails in zero-visibility storms, melt frozen obstacles to explore the base in search of much-needed supplies, create pockets of warmth with a personal heater, and more.
  
• A dynamic weather system that utilizes snow, wind, temperature, and lighting to create a multitude of Antarctic conditions ranging from blinding whiteouts to brief moments of calm.
  
• A real-time temperature simulation that freezes and thaws the environment room by room based on exposure to the elements, building layouts, the base’s power system, and your own ability to establish safe areas with makeshift repairs.
  
• Discoverable blueprints and upgrades that enhance your capabilities and increase your ability to withstand the cold.
  
• An original score of haunting ambient music that amplifies the isolation of Sutro Station.

The Thing without the alien.

 

[Siveon]

It would've been better with the alien.

 

[gromit]

...and Dark Messiah for $2.49. This almost makes up for the "Humble Nothing Fuck You Bundle" this week, and the "Humble 2k Fuck You Also Bundle" before it.

 

[Metro]

There's no weekly Humble this week because the monthly is about to cycle again -- they want to push sales for it.

KOTAKU LOVES IT!

Gonna pass then.

Anyone try "This is the police"? Apparently it's very linear (or scripted) which is unfortunate but the idea is cool.
