Is there a particular reason to pre order a game on Steam? Do they give away something or is it cheaper if you pre order?

Not really, I did think it was a wee bit expensive for what is essentially an indie game.

You get some extra TF2 items... But that means nothing to me.

For me i pre order when i know there will be limited stock...but escentially this doesnt happen on steam does it being digital download.

7.50 on gmg if u use a code which should be easy enough to find as theres 2 main codes atm, activates on steam i think too.

About the game. Im interested in the humor and puzzles section but the gameplay looks too consolish to me. Im really struggling to click buy on this. On one hand i want the humor and puzzles but the other i dont like the platforming part of it or the multiple toons for it. And its not point and click.

I thought the cave was launching today? Says 13 hours left on my steam?

Here you go hutchy:

Ron Gilbert ‏@grumpygamer

The Steam version of The Cave will go live this afternoon PST. Sorry for the delays.

Vargas Prime ‏@Jason_Gio

@grumpygamer you sure? Steam is currently showing ~14 hours, which puts it roughly at 3-4am EST tomorrow.

Ron Gilbert ‏@grumpygamer

@Jason_Gio We're the ones that flip the switch, so that is just wrong.

So sometime around midnight UK time I would imagine?

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa?

That sucks, have my bestie over, pizza in the oven, and the game is locked. No coop fun tonight

MrJohnSherry · 23 Jan 2013 at 20:01

Send them back home and download POE, problem solved

agnes · 23 Jan 2013 at 20:03

POE? What the devil is this witchcraft?

MrJohnSherry · 23 Jan 2013 at 20:13

Path of Exile, not been caught up in the hype machine I take it?

agnes · 23 Jan 2013 at 20:25

Ohhhhhh, that, I applied for the beta, but nope. Not caught up in the hype. Thankfully it seems...

The Cave on Steam should be live in 30 minutes. Maybe less if you press the refresh button a whole bunch of times really fast.

It's coming!

It still says 9 hours left for me? No midnight launch?

MrJohnSherry · 23 Jan 2013 at 23:01

Yeah, still says that for me, but Ron Gilbert said it will be dropping around now, so I guess it will be soon.

Edit: Just restarted steam, achievements are now showing, so should be pretty dang soon!

Edit 2: ITS UP! Restart your steam!

can't seem to get it working with the controller

MrJohnSherry · 24 Jan 2013 at 01:52

Mine works fine with controller, try restarting the game with the gamepad already plugged in?

ChrisJSY · 24 Jan 2013 at 05:09

Oh wow where the hell did this come from, looks amazing.
Giving off this trine'esque feeling, shame the coop is local only from what I've read, had so-so much fun in trine1/2 with friends.

SkeeterUK · 24 Jan 2013 at 05:32

Thats another thing, i liked the visuals of trine but hated the gameplay especially the multiple swapping of characters.

Ah well guess this isn't for me.

How does it play without a controller, I have one but prefer not to use it on the pc? Does it feel like a console port?
