what's the konsensus on the blackwell series?

 

[Turjan]

Incidentally, the final bonus for Groupees BeMine 8 is Primordia. Less than 2k sales to unlock.

It's done. Primordia has been unlocked .

Don't pay more for Serious Sam 2. Also a shame they do not include the originals and only the remakes.

 

[tuluse]

I think the HD remakes come with the original. At least when I bought them on Steam a long time ago I got both.

 

[Metro]

They don't unless you buy some deluxe package.

indie royale doing an arcen bundle

doesnt have the skyward collapse thing but does have the next ai war expansion

 

[Multi-headed Cow]

Calling it complete without Skyward Collapse, absolutely shameful Indie Royale.

 

[Garm]

I'm kinda pissed about that Serious Sam sale...I just got TFE and TSE during the Steam sale last week...oh well...I supposed $5 isn't that bad for 2 and 3...

This is a pretty decent deal if you don't have one of the games from the first raw.

I've heard good things about Robin Hood and the Syberia games, so this is a buy for me. Also curious about Still Life, Nikopol, Wasteland Angel, and Stellar Impact.

Edit: Just read that Robin Hood is a real time stealth game, when I was hoping it was turn-based. So I guess I won't be picking it up. Stellar Impact is a multi-player game and Wasteland Angel is considered to be pretty much crap, so those are off my list, too. I figure I'll still pick up the Syberia games since I heard that they are visually stunning and my daughter likes adventure games, but I'm not sure what I'll pick up for myself in regards to the third pick.

I found the Syberia games ugly and boring, but I am a minority.

Actually, originals are included. Bought the pack for above average and got every Serious Sam game ever. SS3 included is Deluxe edition which comes with SS:TFE and TSE Classic variants

 

[Gragt]

Ah, nevermind me then.

 

[Ninja Destroyer]

Played first Still Life. The beginning was good for the detective story. But the more I played, the more it felt bad. Those sterile renderings and ocassionaly voice acting were not my cup of tea. Also the puzzles near the end. Wasn't horrible bad, but I given up on buying a sequel after that.

new humble weekly is anomaly and other assorted garbage

new indie gala has SotS, star ruler, aquanox (2 will most probably be added later), and some assorted garbage

 

[Deuce Traveler]

At first I was interested in that Groupees bundle for Syberia, but after reading some Codex reviews I think I'll pass and just pick up the Longest Journey sometime in the future. That IndieGala bundle looks interesting so far because of Sword of the Stars, Edna and Harvey, and Aqaunox, but I already picked up Sword of the Stars through Gamer's Gate and need to review the other two further before I make a purchase. Is Pirates of the Black Cove a Pirates! clone? Anyone here try out Star Ruler?

Oh, and before I forget, The Indie Gala store is having the King's Bounty Bundle for $4 for the next 24 hours for the Legend and Armored Princess: http://store.indiegala.com/index.php/bundles/the-king-s-bounty-bundle-1c.html

Also, Star Wolves 1-3 for $5 for the next three days: http://store.indiegala.com/index.php/bundles/the-star-wolves-bundle-1c.html

At first I was interested in that Groupees bundle for Syberia, but after reading some Codex reviews I think I'll pass...

Yup. That $1 for three games really requires utmost scrutiny. Games or eating for a month, a difficult decision.

I'm trying to control my impulse buying.

My GOG backlog of games I haven't played yet:
Thief 2, Thief 3, Arx Fatalis, Ultima: Savage Empire, Ultima: Martian Dreams, Realms of Arkania 1-3, Anachronox, MAX 1+2, Jagged Alliance 2: Unfinished Business, SMAC, Freespace 1+2, Warsow, Gemini Rue, Space Chem, To the Moon, The Blackwell Bundle, Sam and Max games, Nexus, Star Control 1-3, Fragile Alliance, Haegomonia, Independence War 1-2, Eador, Avernum 1-5, Jagged Alliance 2, Divinity 2, Defender's Quest, Deponia, Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Urethra

Steam games I haven't played yet (through bundles and Gamer's Gate):
King's Bounty series, Magicka and DLCs, Star Wolves 1-3, AI War, Blood Bowl: Legendary Edition, Crusader Kings 2, Drakensang, Europa Universalis 3, King Arthur 1+2 plus DLCs, Patrician 4, Portal, Sanctum, Sword of the Stars 1+2, Victoria 2, Master of the Arcane, Sanctum

Misc Indie Sales (Gamer's Gate and Desura and Bundles):
Fortune Winds: Ancient Trader,Sanctum, Underrail (Alpha), Zigfrak, Costume Quest, Stacking, Primordia, Constant C

Crowd Funded:
Grimoire
Divine Divinity 3: Original Sin

The list doesn't include abandonware games like the Gold Box or Ultizurk series, nor does it include games on my accounts that I've at least tried for more than an hour or have no interest in playing right now. So it's not the $1 that's the issue. It's more that I feel I should be more selective until I catch up.

Played first Still Life. The beginning was good for the detective story. But the more I played, the more it felt bad.

That was pretty much my impression. It started off pretty good, but the quality declined as the puzzles got more and more tedious. I eventually gave up at the very end with that stupid puzzle where you had to time your movement to get past the fucking lasers. Never bothered with the sequel after that.
