The STEAM Sales and Releases Thread

they had the money to make a fully animated trailer but the game is some ugly 4 hour long pixelshit?

Carrion looks kind of awesome. It seems cool to be able to play the creature for a change, some mysterious metamorphic monster stalking, killing & consuming weak little human meatlings. I saw a movie as a 5 or 6 year old on television directed by Mario Bava (though credited to someone else) about this strange, black blob monster that lurked under a small lake in some forgotten Mayan ruins. The film utterly terrified me because it was so absolutely fucking weird and horrible and far more graphic in its horror imagery than any American monster move back then. It filled me with such mortal terror that I could only smile reading the Steam description of the creature in Carrion. I want to be that monster.

It looks like a game I get in a bundle for a dollar, play for 5 minutes but never end up finishing.

 

[Wild Slop]

You got me curious


Caltiki, the Immortal Monster

It looks like a game I get in a bundle for a dollar, play for 5 minutes but never end up finishing and never bother downloading.

There is a book trilogy that is pretty similar to Carrion as well. Paul E. Cooley - The Black trilogy. Think he even has a fourth book coming out. Really enjoyed the first two books myself.

With the sequel released, Beneath a Steel Sky gets a Steam release. Freeware as it is on GOG.

 

[Fedora Master]

I just noticed you can only exclude likem 10 tags. RETARDED.

After years of silence we get... this?

Spoiler

Looks like this crap was prophetic

I guess we should be glad it's on Steam now. 8 fucking years since the release. I heard they fucked up some contract and weren't able to publish it in the West (although the localization was already there).

I tried to download the windows store version but it didn't work, even following a "here's how to make it work" guide. I found out about the fan launcher later, in case anyone wants to try the game before it's revamped to match PSO New Genesis. - https://arks-layer.com/

Best Game Ever #3 is OUT.


Lutte and I are going to play the living shit out of it (provided it doesn't crash or disconnect all the time).

 

[Wirdschowerdn]

Demo available now until August 5th.

For any board game players, Spirit Island left Early Access yesterday. It's just the base game with no expansions right now.

That's so retarded; digital versions of board games.

The whole reason to play a board game is the physical aspect: real social interaction with people you're in the same room with, and the handling of physical pieces. Everyone buying digital adaptations should be shot. Because computer adaptations offer none of the positives of real board games listed above, while coming with all of the deficits like laughably shallow rule set, shitty graphics etc..

Jesus Christ, I hate people (probably why I hate real board games, too :3).

It's a surrogate for the real thing, not a replacement. Traditional tabletop games will still be made and you won't have to play their crappier e-versions.

That's not even what I'm saying or arguing about.

What I'm saying is that _all_ board games are shit, some more, others less. Their _only_ appeal is their physicality, there's no other reason for them to exist, certainly not as digital iterations, because you can do so much more with real computer/video games that it's not even funny to even compare the two.

So in my eyes, there are few things more retarded than buying digital board games. And that's not because I'm afraid their sales numbers could make real board games disappear; I couldn't care less, because I hate people.

Eh, could see why some normies would want to play e-Catan or whatever if they couldn't be in physical proximity of each other. Just because you are antisocial doesn't mean that others are as well.

Somewhere, a total stranger is having fun the wrong way. This is an important problem in my life and expressing my displeasure is a good use of my time.

 

[Kitchen Utensil]

Yeah, somewhere, some chimps are having fun, doesn't mean I have to emulate their beaviour.

 

[karoliner]

I played this game on the Genesis when i was a kid it feels like an lifetime ago.

Games in genres that Codex is very much interested in but not sure if the games themselves will be interesting or worth enough to warrant a thread.

Stolen Realm, some kind of turn-based tactical RPG, featuring that popular low-poly character assets:

YRek Lost In Portals, FPS highly inspired by Turok games:

Altwaldheim: Town in Turmoil, roguelike town sim:
