I grabbed it. I knew it was Early Access, so I prepared myself.
First, holy crap does it look good. What cars and tracks there are are done very well. Everything is very polished looking. Also, I love that the info windows while driving can be moved and pinned onto the screen.
Sound is very barebones right now. You get car engine noises and tire squeals. That’s it. I don’t want a bunch of terrible music while driving, but some kind of menu tune or even pings when you select things in the menu might be nice.
Works perfectly with my 360 controller or my wheel.
Pretty happy with this so far.
I got it at $4, but it’s back to full price ($20) now.

Argh, I finally had a moment to go buy it and the awesome price was gone.
Me too. :(

Yeah you knew it would be doomed once it hit the number one seller spot on GMG.
Guacamelee is $3.75 at 75% off today in the Humble store. So tempting…

Is Fall of the Samurai enough of an improvement over Shogun 2 to be worth getting at 7.50?

Bought, the Total Biscuit preview thing pushed me over the edge.
Once I got fots I never played vanilla.
The ship bombardment is useful. The divide mechanic less artificial since your allies stay your allies.
Factions have different traits and play differently.
It is double plus good

Same price on the Vita / PS3 if you have Plus membership. The version in the Humble Store already has all the DLCs included I think. I bought the Vita / PS3 version and I am so enjoying it. This is the type of game that might play even better on a portable system with the muscle to run it rather than on a big screen while sitting on a couch.
Looking forward to Guacamelee. I might play that before Dust. If anyone buys it, don’t forget to head over to the beat 'em ups thread to talk about it!
Guacamelee! is perfect on Vita. One of my favorites games of the year, and one of my favorite non-Nintendo-developed Metroid games of all time.
From what I’ve read, Shogun 2 takes place in an earlier time period than FotS. So you get more melee-based/close quarter battles in Shogun 2, whereas the focus in FotS is more on ranged fights using guns.
Battles with samurai running around with swords sounds more fun for me, so I’m going to try Shogun 2 out. :)
I’m to the point of saturation on the Android games and indie games in general, what with owning so many of them through Humble Bundles. That’s why I hadn’t pulled the trigger on the latest humble bundle yet. But with Tom Chick’s Top ten games of 2013 list containing Little Inferno, which is one of the games in the latest Humble Bundle, I guess I’ll go for it after all. That one can move ahead of the queue in front of all the other Android games that I’ll get to years down the line.
As it happens, I just finished Little Inferno on PC tonight! Most people would probably finish it in an evening or two. I did it in about five sessions and took a break in the middle of about four or five months. I was… uh… savoring it?
Reading the reviews of “little inferno,” I don’t get it. Destructoid likened it to Cow Clicker, and that sounds about right.

So if I like cookie clicker will I like this?
I’m still trying to wrap my head around what the heck the game wants me to do. Tom said something cryptic about how you interpret the game, so maybe what this game will end up saying about me is that I’m not good at figuring out what to do in mysterious interpretive games.
