The STEAM Sales and Releases Thread

Following GOG, Descent games are back on Steam:

And the third one too:

Look at those prices for 20 year old games

 

[Baron Dupek]

Do I see it right? D3 does not have expansion? It is included in GOG version, for the same price (D3+expansion, not separate).

 

[Sceptic]

D1 and D2 don't have their "expansions" either (they're just a series of user-made levels selected by the devs). I don't remember the Vertigo Series for D2 much, but some of the Levels of the World from D1 were really cool and on par with the official ones, and sometimes with some design ideas not found in the game itself.

Shape of America, a turn-based RPG about American Politics:

Shape of America is a story-driven, non-linear, turn-based role-playing game, in which you assume the role of an aspiring politician. You make friends, make deals, give speeches, take part in the debates, everything to become the president of the U.S. and to change the course of history.

• Unique Story - Enter the world threatened by the millennium bug, excited about internet boom and curious about the upcoming presidential election. Experience the story about corruption, lies and bribery, about great successes and even greater failures.
  
• Real-life calendar - Time is passing by, so if someone wants to see you before Thanksgiving day, you'd better be there or you will miss your chance.
  
• Favor system - every character will remember if you have helped him or not - If you want to stop police investigation, try to help chief of police to deal with labor unions and he might return the favor.
  
• Character development - When you are a politician you don't have to know how to use a sword, but you have to know how to talk to people - boast, bargain or flatter.
  
• Turn-based combat - Confront your opponents in battles of words, use rhetoric devices to prove you are right.
  
• Speeches mechanic - Try to figure out political beliefs of your audience, tell them what they want to hear and gain popularity.

hey kids, you know what time it is?

It's time for another Two Worlds Two DLC. Why? Chuj wie.

And it's multiplayer addon. Isn't MP part p. much dead since release? Are there really any people playing? Does devs have any stats/tracking/snitch in their ranks?
All I know about MP in TW2 is that MP have way, way bigger world map than singleplayer and people were mad butthurt when devs shared that information.

three-map multiplayer adventure that bridges the events of "Two Worlds II" and "Call of the Tenebrae"!

Sounds to me like they have money in the bank and just keep coming up with more little ideas, so they keep working on it. Why not? Recording a whole new album is a huge hassle, but I just got an idea to tweak the mix of the last one a little bit to bring out the bass a little more. Plus another guitar track I want to add to the 5th song. Nothing wrong with that.

Lol 5 reviews and all negative.

 

[newtmonkey]

Yeah, but the reviews are all retarded. "No character creation" and "turn-based combat" are not necessarily bad, and these guys all have (with one exception) less than 1 hour played.

Having said that, I'm not willing to spend $30 to find out! lolz

 

[Gepeu]

Looks ok, but probably overpriced.

 

[Zombra]

Released today. Has a free demo which I still haven't tried, but the premise looks good.

EDIT: Tried demo. Released way too early, this is a buggy mess.
