Anyone try the new Ghost in a Shell FPS game? It's down to 5 bucks for early access and looks fun but I'd rather know if it's shit before I waste my 5 bucks.
I believe it's F2P when it releases, so seems like a waste of money. Video of it looked like hot garbage. Maybe someone has actually played it, but from what I've seen I wouldn't even bother playing it if it was free.

Inb4 the box is a boatload of FF XIV's in an effort to get that sweet sweet sub money from everyone who buys it.

Winter Sale will be Dec 22nd for 10 days. I am fairly certain there will no longer be any flash daily deals or the like, just the same price on sales for the entire 10 days so you can take your time. There will however be some sort of daily game or voting or something, since there are winter sale badges and XP.

Yeah, was sad to see the Daily/Flash deals killed off, I liked checking it everyday, and sucks to lose the extra 5-10% off they'd bring.

Its dead and also terribad reviews.

Might get a small short term bump in players due to the sale, but it won't last. Don't bother. Save the money for the steam sale.

Anyone pick up Squad yet? I'm thinking that will be my Christmas purchase if it goes on sale.

Storm Coast Legends at 50% at 3 months in.

Have they patched in enough content to justify it or is it still a failed, license money grab? [Edit] Also a free trial. No point to not find out

I think people were completely underwhelmed by the DM tools in it.

Tried giving it benefit of the doubt and utilized the free weekend. Not worth the time to download. Ugh. Game doesn't look or play (mechanically or functionally) like it was produced in 2015.

Heh, dodged a bullet on that one. Already own all but FF XIII which I beat ages ago and wouldn't want on PC even if it was free since they decided to use the garbage 360 cutscenes instead of the uncompressed 1080p ones from the PS3.

Awful UI ported directly from Android (not iOS, important distinction because it means it will be harder to mod) that is retarded with both kb/m and gamepad, max resolution of 1360x768, ugly sprites that are scaled with simple bilinear filtering when there's about a dozen better ways to do it, etc.

They did fix some stuff like Bushido and Blitz, but the bad seems to far outweigh the good. You can kind of fix the shitty UI by switching it to tab (left) mode, but it's still awkward as hell to control with a gamepad.

Which is made even worse by the fact that the original emulates beautifully on the PC. All that extra nonsense is pointless.
