Huh, thanks. Free for GOG, but $5 on Steam. For the ability to get cards? That's crazy. Seems people think they'll make it free on Steam too, but $5 is crazy for that kind of "content".
Yeah, they made it a separate release, and I believe the page for the original was still up before they decided to give existing owners the ability to upgrade. It's bullshit, and after protest, the pub caved. Love how GOG immediately made it a free upgrade, and Steam's upgrade is still $5.
$7? I'm at $32.59 since then.Despite issues with rewards not showing up on the GMG site right away, I'm real happy with the Playfire beta. Even without getting the higher achievements, I've racked up $7 since the beginning of April.
Yeah, based on my experience, it's best to log in 20+ minutes on each game so it'll track. I've done 20+ minutes on all the F2P games recently and gotten rewards for all of them. I would recommend doing 7 of the games one day, and the other 7 the next (to break it up and make it easier on Playfire to track).
Not to dispute BTastic, but as long as Steam notices that you played it, that should be enough. Whether Playfire actually picks up on it and acknowledges it as a reward is a whole other issue. For the 'play first' rewards I have actually received, I've logged a minute or less.
I agree with Neuro. The problem is I've played several games for 1 - 5 minutes and Steam hasn't acknowledged I've played them on my profile. In this scenario, it's unlikely Playfire will track it.
ing tedious (there's only 5 or so types of enemies, backgrounds and shit are constantly reused, you pretty much have access to all the special weapons within the first 30 minutes). By the time I finished it, my opinion on it went from "alright, not bad even if it'll probably be a little short" to "holy , can this just be over already???". Story is pretty predictable too. Not worth more than 50 cents at all.I agree with your general sentiment, although I personally didn't find the repeating enemy/background sprites too annoying, being a budget game and all. Initially, I was more annoyed there was no "map", but the story was linear enough and the rooms looked different enough that as I went on, it didn't bother me anymore. One thing I found really frustrating though, was that when you get hit by a melee or electric attack, you get stunned for 2 seconds. Maybe this wasn't really a problem in lower difficulties (I played on medium), or when there are only a few enemies - but the boss fights, and when they locked me into those quarantine rooms with the respawning waves of melee killerbots... Almost rage-quit right there.Double post, but just a heads-up. Got all the achievement rewards for Bad Bots in ~3 hours of actual playtime. Game is pretty easy (aside from a long segment towards the end in the Captain's Quarters, and the "Final Run" part) on easy, and Easy difficulty doesn't disable achievements.
I'm sure a bunch of you have it from bundles, only cost me 50 cents, so I figured why not.
The game's alright and has some neat ideas/homages that might make you find it surprisingly decent for the first hour or so. The problem is the game has way too much padding for time (similar rooms one after the other), and suffers from going from okay to downright
Game had some potential but it ultimately feels like a crappy low-budget Metroidvania without the upgrade system/required backtracking.
Well, I could live with ~10 different enemies, but for the majority of the first part of the game, it's millions of the first three varieties (brown, red, green), and then occasional appearances by different types later (specifically the zombie robots in the one section towards the end who never show up again). I think there were something like 8 different non-boss enemies total. By padding, I meant they had several "Quarantine" areas back-to-back with the same damn enemies. It got so tedious, break it up a little, you know?
ing problem happens on Easy too, it's just a lot easier to deal with, the only place where it really got annoying was the Quarantine areas in the Captain's Quarters with the "zombie" melee deathbots because there's just so damn many of them. Those areas was pretty much the only place I died in-game, rest of the game was easy enough.That's about exactly how I felt about it.By the time I finished it, my opinion on it went from "alright, not bad even if it'll probably be a little short" to "holy
Agreed. But it's a final boss, so it's expected. It took me forever to figure out how to dodge that ball of light attack. I thought it was just an incredibly accurate laser and was stumped about how to dodge it for ages.
Hmm, free money for easier game me and pretty much every CAG already has on Steam or free money for hard-as-balls game I only have on GOG? This decision will keep me up all night.
I know it has a reputation, but it honestly isn't that hard. It's just unforgiving.Hmm, free money for easier game me and pretty much every CAG already has on Steam or free money for hard-as-balls game I only have on GOG? This decision will keep me up all night.
I'd probably bite on the voiceover with my credit if I could get the 20% extra off on it. Still offering to buy stuff for people with no credit/pool orders so the voucher applies.
Yeah, but watch the good rewards be tied to all the ridiculous achievements like To Hell and Back, Seen it All, and Public Enemy.
ed. Went to send in a ticket about it, and there's no option to make any new tickets. What the hell? So I just replied to the last ongoing ticket I had with them via email to open the case back up and tell them my new problem, so we'll see.As a bonus, it's a neat little game.
Croixleur would be funner if not for the crashes and nonsense. The game itself is pretty clean hack n' slash mayhem with a fair number of special attacks to mix things up.
Getting a higher score...pretty old school...not as much for unlock junkies. Mine didn't crash at all for the 4 or so hours I played to earn all the rewards. Decent game....worth 10...nah about 1 or 2 dollars maybe.
Wow, that easy? I didn't think I had the time for the rewards between Bad Bots and Kung-Fu Strike so I held off on it, but if two of the three are that easy, I'll get it. Why not? Thanks HitlerCat.
Well, the game will crash every time you tab out, and as far as I know there's no way around that. As for standard crashes, it happened to me every time I played survival mode and survived for over 12 minutes or so. Kinda defeats the purpose of the game's most challenging mode when you just get booted out if you do too good.
I thought maybe this was why I didn't get my last round of play-for-the-first-time rewards but the six games I played on May 3rd all show up on Steam. Playfire says I only played four and earned no rewards. This is actually the first time I have had any problems.
Welcome to the party. It's starting to get crowded now, so there's standing room only.
I'd say so. I can't even see the bar and someone just spilled their drink on my shoes.
And I think exiting the level must be the key to getting it. I must have spammed F a thousand times, expecting the achievement to pop up. Only when ending the work day did I get the achievement.
Serious Sam HD: The Second Encounter demo works like free2play,
I didn't see any crashes, and the special attacks seemed like something to use when you wanted to have your chain broken.
