U.S.A TIME...

Which caused a bunch of resellers to cry. I forgot that Steam killed gifting which means peeps can't buy 30 copies and expect them to hit the $100+ mark when they barely go for more than base.

People stockpiling gifts of removed games seems to be a scenario where everyone wins. Devs/publishers/steam can sell a lot of games that wouldn't be sold otherwise. The people stockpiling make a profit. And the people paying a lot for the removed game later, get a game they wouldn't be able to get otherwise.

It is not like they are buying up a limited stock of items to resell on Ebay and thereby preventing people from getting it from the store.

It has similarities to Silent Hill?! :D

Haha, it's more likely for every other song to be replaced by Lil Wayne than Poets of the Fall, as they're good buddies with the devs.

oh, nice, 1st time I haerd of the group ;) Turns oput I'm pretty close, 117/130, so maybe sometime in the future :>

So it's only removed games, not disabled game even though some of them are pretty much definitely removed? because then my count would be 169.

No, it is similar to, for example, Last of Us or Resident Evil Revelations 2 (which actually stole quite a bit from Alan Wake, including an entire stage), only if it was written by someone imitating Stephen King, but having actual talent (so like Stephen King 40 years ago).
Gameplay is a linear third-person shooter, although the emphasis is on discovering the 200+ hidden items and doing some mild puzzles, with an eerie, almost horror-like atmosphere. Eventually it becomes combat heavy, where combat means you have to use some kind of a light source (mostly your flashlight) to dissolve enemy armour, after which you use conventional weapons to kill them. This combat is actually a pretty weak point, this is why it is interesting that the spin-off, American Nightmare, decided to build itself entirely on doing long hoard and arena fights with the exact same system.
Also, the core game originally shipped intentionally half-finished. A third of the story, the actual ending was chopped off and sold as DLC, but the Steam version has those integrated now.

What I thought about it.

On the other hand i think it's worthwile as i've found the combat solid and a good atmosphere, united with a very good engine. Not much variety in enemies (it's mostly humanoid assholes and poltergeists), but there are not many games where you have to manage your light sources to make enemies vulnerable to weapons and Remedy has always a distinct style of narration. At 90% of discount, it shouldn't be missed.

EDIT: just noticed that someone necro'ed the thread, disregard my reply.

i'm also counting my enemies 💜

If only it had been bundled and heavily discounted dozens and dozens of times...

Thank you for the links.:)

Unfortunately, Steam Wallet funds are the only thing I can use to buy games with, so that is why I am particularly irked with Valve's decision regarding gifting.
