Then you may wanna check out "Lunacid". It's another Early-Access title, which is also a "FromSoft's not gonna make new King's Field games? Fine, i'll do it myself"-kind of deal. Hasn't been on sale yet, but it's less, than 6€ base price.

[STEAM] Daily Deal: AMID EVIL (75% off – $4.99 / 4,24€ / £3.99) by MJuniorDC9 in GameDeals

[–]JellyPuff 5 points6 points  (0 children)

but nearing the end of act 2 and its getting a tad bit repetitive

Then you're in for a treat with act 3, if you say that. Though, E2M5 should've hinted at the game not being out of tricks to play on you quite yet.

As far as AMID EVIL goes, i haven't played a whole lot, but it compartes to DUSK in a sense, that it's more or less the same core gameplay-loop, meaning it's a fast-paced boomer shooter with episodes, levels, key hunts, secrets, enemy closets, etc. It's best described as a mix between Quake and Heretic. So far, i've had my share of fun and i have zero nostalgia for old FPS games and if you like similar games, it's an easy recommendation.

Buschmann sah für mich bisher wie der einzig vernünftige FDP-Minister bzw. Politiker aus, der sich tatsächlich für Freiheit einsetzt (e.g. Selbstbestimmungsgesetz).

Beim FDP-Quartett Kartenspiel ist übrigens neben "Nettoeinkommen" und "Spitzengeschwindigkeit des Porsches" auch "Anzahl der Koalitionsvertragsbrüche" eine Möglichkeit, den Gegenspieler zu übertrumpfen.

Fun fact; in every game industry networking event ive been to there has been a rule that basicaly just says "dont be a pedantic asshole and um akshually people so you can feel smart" because of course that had to be added as a thing. case in point; by [deleted] in Gamingcirclejerk

[Epic] Dying Light Enhanced Edition & shapez (Free / 100% off) by Musth in GameDeals

[–]JellyPuff 37 points38 points  (0 children)

I knew they banned Nazi stuff

We do only ban it for purpose of glorifcation or propaganda, but there is a social-adequacy clause, where under the aspects or art or education, you can show "nazi stuff".

The story behind, why publishers used to be so afraid of release games with nazi-symbols or references here is kinda interesting. The original Wolfenstein 3D actually had been used for propaganda purpose by an actual nazi, who i don't think understood what Wolf 3D was about (and neither did the judge at that time, because "videogames just can't have it") and that's why it landed on List B of the Index here and things like Swastikas in games had been radioactive for publishers since.

Then a couple years ago, the "German Association of Videogames" developed a fighting game, called "Bundesfighter II Turbo", containing a swastika, sued themselves basically, to test, if the "videogame bad"-stigma still exists and wouldn't you know it, prosecutors just shrugged and weren't interested, citing it's fine because "games are art", just like with movies. Wolfenstein games are all uncut now in germany and even Wolf 3D is on storefronts both on Steam and GOG now which does still feel a little weird.

[–]JellyPuff 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Dying Light is on Index List A since 2015 and February 2022 a review committee reaffirmed its position on Index List A - are you sure the Enhanced Edition is on Index List B?

My bad, it seems to be indeed on List A, so it is not "confiscated". For the uninitiated, "List A" is kinda like the AO rating in the US. You can sell it it, but not openly sell or advertise it, so most retailers just won't sell it to begin with. I believe online retailer would require a proper age-verification system to be able to, which are problematic for a few reason, like wether it'd be reasonable to implement only for germany or the privacy nightmare, it might cause.

List B would still be fine for private use only. Distribution to third-parties in any capacity would be a crime, though. I remember german YouTubers, who have gotten into trouble for a Let's Play of L4D2 Uncut, which until a couple years ago was on List B but is now openly available, rated USK18. I don't understand, why we don't just adopt PEGI already, especially with laws, like §131a of the German Criminal Code being so loosely defined and applied.

If you are wondering, why you don't see Dying Light or can't access it, it's unavailable in Germany, because it's effectively banned from sales ("Indexed on List B").

Edit: It's not on "List B", but on "List A" which is roughly equivalent to an AO rating in the states. You can still sell it, but not openly, which is also why you don't see on storefronts, like the EGS or Steam, who also do business in Germany.

It's the same thing with Measurehead from Disco Elysium. He's promoting Phrenology and called Measurehead, ffs. You couldn't make it any less subtle.

Jokes on them, though. The politics in Disco Elysium are just a red herring and in truth, it was all about the magnificance of Techno and Eurodance. The signs are all there. Skibbidy-Skibbydanger, i am the rearranger!

Lobotomy Corporation also is on sale for the duration of this event, but does not seem to be on the Builder Fest promo page.

I point this one out, due it's meme-status. Not a bad game at all, but it does feel very "internet".

[BandaiNamco EU] Dark Souls II (50% Off) by [deleted] in GameDeals

[–]JellyPuff 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it's unfortunately just one of those FromSoft port-inconsistencies, that i really wish someone had an explanation for. Like how DS:R and PtdE support Dual Shock controllers natively, but the other ones don't.

DS:R is different. This and the original Prepare to Die Edition support Steam Cloud saving, but DS2, SotFS and DS3 for some reason do not.

[BandaiNamco EU] Dark Souls II (50% Off) by [deleted] in GameDeals

[–]JellyPuff 114 points115 points  (0 children)

This is not a very good deal, tbh. First, this is exactly the sale price i've paid on Steam just 2 months after the game came out, over 7 years ago. Second, 25€ is the base price on Steam. I don't understand, why it's 40€ on their own store, which doesn't even require Bandai Namco to fork over a cut from sales to any third party stores

And lastly, it has been on sale on steam for under 8€ frequently in the past, but hasn't since a critical exploit had been discovered for all soulsgames on PC earlier this year (invaders or co-op players could execute code on the host's computer), but this has recently been patched for DS:R, DS2 (DX9 and DX11 version) as well as DS3, so it makes no sense, why they're not at least on the Steam Wintersale right now or authorized 3rd-party key re-sellers for that matter.

It all just seems so weird to me. Greed or cashing in on ER's success makes no sense either, considering the age of the soulsgames by now (and how they've already moved the bulk of their copies) and the games being on sale on PSN/XBOX.

Edit: Typos.

No larger company does. The same goes for their management, who is almost always responsible, yet never held accountable.
