AaaaaAAaaaAAAaaAAAAaAAAAA!!! - A Reckless Disregard for Gravity (http://store.steampowered.com/app/15520/) might just be PC GOTY, beating out Plants vs. Zombies.

(http://i31.tinypic.com/1enq7o.jpg)

Also, single-player Zombie rampage action (http://store.steampowered.com/app/39800/). I dunno, I'm downloading it. We'll see.

Unfortunately the trailer did not do a good job selling this game so I did not pre-order it.  Now I won't get it because $15 is a lot for an unproven indie game with barely any visual design (this may just be a personal thing but I think the lack of graphics in this case doesn't look stylish, it just makes the game look like 1998 freeware).

Steam made me a DD believer :bow

Steam is the only DD that counts.  Console DD is suuuuuper iffy as consoles only last 5-10 years.  At some point you will throw away/sell your PS3/X360/Wii and unless the respective companies transfer over the DD purchases to their next systems (good luck with that), you'll just lose all those DD games you've bought over 5-10 years.  At least with Steam I get the feeling I'll die before it does, so I can just load it on any computer I use for the rest of my life and have full access to my DD game catalogue I've bought over my life.  I kind of fear the steam library of kids growing up today.  I didn't get started on my steam one until I was like 25!  I feel like so much time was lost :X

Plus Steam shows you all the games you own, so you'll always have this growing list on any computer to be like "oh crap, I own that??" and then install and play it.  When you transfer to a new system/hard drive on the current consoles it's like "uhhhh...what games did I own again?"   :-\

I dunno, I kind of like it in a totally mindless violence kind of way. :lol The pistol is like the best weapon though, it's like WTF don't pick up that flame thrower or that .44 Magnum, just let me keep the pistol. The axe is really uhhhhhhhhhh, the Steam Hammer is badass though, it just melts everything, it's the only weapon worth giving up the pistol for.

Another good DD service is GOG, although they only have old games. With GOG you just download a zip file and can install a game as many times as you want on as many computers as you want, and they always give out a bunch of free extras with every games like soundtracks and instruction manuals and so on.
Title: Re: Steam Thread :monocle
Post by: Bebpo on September 04, 2009, 08:19:25 AM
Yeah I like GOG because they are DRM free so even if they are going bust at least you can grab all your games and burn them on a disc or something.

I hope Gamersgate & Impulse never go out of business cause I occasionally get cheap deals from them.  Same with Telltale games cause I've been getting all their episodic series straight from their site.

I tried the demo for AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA and yeah, the game just doesn't click with me much.  It's ok, but every level seemed the same.  Felt like a $5 game, not a $15 one.  Considering the standard pricing for indie games these days is $10, if you price over $10 it must mean your game is "that" good and I didn't feel it was at all.

How is Ben There, Dan That?

Good times.

Yes, in an attempt to talk their super-fans down from the ledge, Valve arranged for two of the group's users - Walking_Target and Agent of Chaos - to pop over to Valve headquarters and get some hands-on time with Left 4 Dead 2. See if they could be persuaded to write some nice things about the game.

So, did it work?

Bet your Gabe Newell it worked.

Walking_Target wrote that "things seemed balanced and 'tight' and did not feel like a rushed job", and that "we can say with confidence...that the quality of gameplay in Left 4 Dead 2 is not in question; and it will only get better".

More golden oldies today, MDK 1 & 2 for $8.99 each or $15 for the pair. For some reason I never got around to playing MDK 2 on the Dreamcast, so I'll probably check this out. For the weekend deal, The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition is 50% off in honor of International Talk Like a Pirate Day, and UT3 and the Unreal Tournament Pack is 60% for the UT3 free weekend.

And apparently we've got Madballs in...Babo: Invasion. Yeah, you're guess is as good as mine, but it's only $7.99 I'm a sucker for these cheap indie shooters. I bought Nation Red, and I'll probably buy this too.

    *  1. Dark Forces - Runs fine on most systems since it's using DosBox. Some users reporting framerate problems due to frame limiter. Most are running fine.
    * 2. Dark Forces II: Jedi Knight - Range of problems from artifacting, to black screen with just a HUD, to being completely unplayable. Even if you can get it working, there will be no music since the original game had CD music and LucasArts hasn't changed anything to allow it to find the music anywhere but from the original game CD in your disc drive.
    * 3. Jedi Knight: Mysteries of the Sith - Same engine as above, same problems
    * 4. Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast - Fairly recent game, will run well on most systems
    * 5. Jedi Academy - Same as Jedi Outcast

I love Steam, but it is bullshit when companies bring out old titles and don't make the necessary fixes to make them work on modern systems.  They should offer full refunds to those who have issues with the games in these situations.

Also, the MDK package is OK but you missed out on the GOG interplay sale.  Bought both of them for 5.99 together with the interplay buy 1 get 1 free special.  Heck you can still buy them both for 12 bucks combined at GoG, and you know the games will work.  For older games, I tend to look at GoG first since I know they will run.

Painkiller Black Edition is 7.99 this week on GoG.

Yeah, that's my biggest complaint about Steam, that Valve just lets these companies half-ass their catalog releases and put out old games that aren't fully compatible with XP/Vista systems. They need some better (or any at all) Quality Assurance.

$26.99 gets you the entire Painkiller franchise, including the upcoming 3rd game. Not sure how good it'll be, not sure how good the 2nd one was (I heard "not very"), but the first one was pretty awesome at the time. Looks like they're still using the same old engine from 2004, but for the price it might be worth it.

Yeah KOTOR is the only good deal for today.  I guess Majesty 2 might be good if you are into that sort of game.

Yes Majesty 2 for $10 is awesome

I already have Kings Bounty so Kings Bounty gold is no use for me :(

Grabbing Trine.  Had the misfortune of buying the PS3 version which controls well but looks like ass, so I'm a double dippin' and playing it on PC instead.

Possibly grabbing Borderlands in a 4-pack for $25.  Might get Spore; never really looked into what it's about.

holy fuck i refreshed the homepage and couldnt believe my eyes at that l4d price

also bought dark forces, which was on of my favorite games as a kid, but it looks a lot worse than i remember, now all they need to do is add the x-wing and tie fighter games

if they did that, which im surprised they didnt, all theyd have to do to complete my childhood pc game collection is offer the descent games in the store

Is Ghostbusters worth it?  I mean, really?  I played the first 1-2 levels on the PS3 version at a 4th of July party and the consensus was that the game design was kind of shit.  But having the actors was cool.  $10 is cheap, but I don't want to endure a crappy game just for some ghostbustin' cutscenes.
Title: Re: Evilbore Steam Thread :monocle
Post by: cool breeze on November 29, 2009, 12:26:34 AM
It's worth it if you're a Ghostbusters fan, as in a living, breathing human being.  At $10 it's basically the cost of a movie ticket, and the game is about 6 hours long with good cutscenes and ghostbusters fanservice throughout.

EVE Online: Apocrypha -$4.99

Lucidity - $2.49
Trackmania United Forever - $19.99
Prince of Persia - $14.99
World of Goo - $4.99
Guild Wars Trilogy - $24.99

Lame deals today. I'll probably get Lucidity just because it's so cheap, but I'm not biting on anything else without a deeper discount than that. World of Goo is decent at that price, but I already picked it up for $5 during another sale.

Post by: HyperZoneWasAwesome on November 29, 2009, 11:33:11 AM
I got pretty far into Ghostbusters (PS3 version) before my rental period expired, and I rather liked it.  The core ghostbusting mechanic is actually really well done and lots of fun to play, I wish that there were more acutal ghosts to capture, rather then the humdrum shooter sections that punctuate each such encounter.

Also, the cutscenes and the script deserve props, as does the MASSIVE bestiary and journal system.  Many of the enemies you find might be functionally similar, but its just so damn cool to keep running into fresh faces throughout the game.  It was a very nice touch and helped keep the game fun all the way through (up until the last levels that I topped out at, at least).  Its on my "I'll finish it someday" list, as I liked it enough to want to play it again, but I didn't love it so much that I felt the immedatie urge to drop 60 bones on it, when the console version gets mega-cheap I'll probably pick it up again.

A deal that isn't showing on the front page is that all Prince of Peria games (including the pack) are half off.  Sands of Time, Warrior Within and Two Thrones are $5 each.  Entire pack with those three and the newer one is $23.
Title: Re: Evilbore Steam Thread :monocle
Post by: Bebpo on November 29, 2009, 11:47:00 AM
Picked up Lucidity because all the complaints I heard were about no checkpoints and then they patched it with checkpoints.  Plus $2.50

Also got all 3 original Prince of Persia for $5 each.  I've played SoT and loved it, but never got around to the 2 sequels.  I think I'll run through SoT again and play the whole trilogy in the future.  Didn't opt for the pack with the new PoP because I already cleared it + epilogue on the PS3 and it's not a game I would ever want to replay EVER because it's so repetitive and non-gaming.  Man, I sure hope PoP2 is as big of a game upgrade as AC->AC2

Yeah I don't keep most of my steam games installed.  And once I beat a game I uninstall it.  That way I can visually see my PC backlog by the games I have running on steam (+multiplayer games I keep around).

Right now my steam dir is 73gigs and a solid chunk of that is because of Dragon Age (15gigs WTFFFFFFF) and Borderlands (7gig+)

Overall pretty good weekend at steam.  The THQ deal was obviously the winner and I wish I owned less of them so I could've taken advantage of it, but there were still solid deals throughout the thing.  I think I bought something everyday.  Spent about $130 total.

It is very streamlined as there is essentially no base building whatsoever. I think you'll like the campaign, as you go from planet to planet completing missions and collecting gear and upgrading your different heroes.

It is the only RTS that I've ever stuck with as far as multiplayer is concerned. So yeah, it is pretty accessible

Only 30% off on CoJ 2 and Dawn of Discovery is weak. CoJ 2 has a good single-player campaign though if you're a fan of spaghetti westerns; all the best cliches are played to great effect. It's a lot better than the first game.

Anyway, I grabbed Mirror's Edge and Dark Athena today.

Post by: cool breeze on December 06, 2009, 01:36:10 AM
well, you're gonna need to find one way or another to trick your computer into thinking it's a 360 controller.  A good number of games are built with the 360 controller in mind, and many will only support the 360 controller (unless you trick it).

Just be aware that the entire hud will still reflect the 360 controller.
Title: Re: Evilbore Steam Thread :monocle

Title: Re: Evilbore Steam Thread :monocle
Post by: cool breeze on December 06, 2009, 01:46:39 AM
Games are designed with 360 in mind

It's actually really awesome and has made PC gaming better this gen.  Controller support has been lame for most gams in the past, and even when it does work, you're stuck with shit like "Button 1, Hat Switch Up, X Axis".  Now you just plug in the 360 controller (or sync up the wireless one, which is what I do) and it works perfectly.  The hud and ui stuff for the game is all changed to xbox 360 controls, like ABXY etc.

my problem is that for some reason I got incredibly cheap.  Anything more than $5 and I feel like it's hard to justify.  I remember wanting to buy Call of Juarez 2 a while back and now that it's $15, it seems too expensive when I'm able to get all these good games from $2 to $5.

Alien Shooter is pretty awesome. It's an isometric shooter where you explore various levels of a research facility and mow down hordes of alien scum in order to get more money to upgrade your weapons and armor or buy more ammunition.

Yeah, I used it for my last system wipe. The backup/restore wizard is simple and it's 50 times faster than redownloading it. I dunno if I'd backup just to "backup," though, as Steam stores all your keys.

KB has a better tutorial, but AP is literally better in every way possible. Common allies get new skills, there's more spells, more quests, more variety. It's an upgrade in every way- You have nothing to gain by playing KB first, except an appreciation or the improvements in AP. Given that they're both long, difficult games, you'll probably only wanna play one. Make it AP

I played more AP today. Do it. It;s literally an upgrade in every possible way. Here are a few:

-Basic units get more/new abilities to make them more than punching bags for the first 4 hours.
-You no longer have to run back and forth to turn in quests. Some quests get auto-turned-in on completion
-Better navigation. More unique world map with more open-ended play.
-Pet Dragon is awesome and adds a nice extra tactical dimension
-Paladin is balanced better
-Everything looks better
-Better animations (Also, your hero gets off her fucking horse when she's indoors.)
-More units help open up the game a little bit, especially after the first tier guys
-FLYING HORSE THANK GOD
-Get a boat ASAP, improved "Fast-Travel" navigation means no more sailing the wrong way for 10 minutes.

AP also has a wacky, nutty big difficultly spike about 1/4 through the game that will make players who aren't familiar with the system (and how to abuse it) weep in anguish. It's definitely surmountable provided that you know the basics in terms of which troops are good and which ones are bad and recruit properly, though.

Maybe it's not as pronounced on medium difficultly. I played through the spike on impossible and hard and thought it was ridiculous and that someone who hadn't played KB would be annihilated by it.

X-COM, or at least the original UFO Defense, is timeless. I don't mean that in the usual, "oh I'm attached to this game because I grew up with it/love it" but in the sense that everything that normally "dates" a game and causes it to feel old doesn't seem to apply to X-COM.

Freedom Force games are fun but a lot more forgettable for me. I don't like comics so I suppose that's why.

I've already bought the FF and X-COM packs ... at $5 each. :gloomy

Frag, can you recommend a good X-COM tutorial? The early game seems very dependent on a large manual that did not come with the Steam version. ;)

http://www.xcomufo.com/usg.html

A must-read for all new X-COM players. It goes into some really important things, notably:

a) Base placement and construction
b) Early tech priorities (laser rifies ,armor, heavy plasma)
c) recruitment (or, more importantly, firing shitty newhires)

and much, much more. This is such a good guide and it'll get you up and actually understanding what is going on in UFO Defense pretty quickly.

Freedom Force is pretty awesome.  I like the campy comic style and the combat system is no slouch either!  It is like Baldur's Gate for dummies.

Post by: Howard Alan Treesong on January 29, 2010, 08:14:27 PM
awesome, thanks. I've tried twice to get into X-COM and the lack of any sort of guidance has been a challeng. Not that I "expect" it, of course, but the gentle tutorial mission curve of the late 90s and 00s is completely fucking absent. HERE IS EARTH, ALIENS LANDED, YOU GONNA KILL THEM OR WHAT.

It is. I picked up the pack when it first released on Steam last year and I remember posting about the difficulty in one of the gaming threads here. Really fun game, and the generic characters are pretty hilarious.

Torchlight is the sort of game that gets right to the point: killing bad guys and getting loot. That's it and that's all. There's some powers you can level up and so on, but it's all secondary stuff. It's more like Diablo 1.

Titan Quest has far deeper skill trees and has a much broader range of locations and towns and sidequests to do. It's more like Diablo 2.

Empire is a bad buy even for $13.

The Rome gold edition and M2+Kingdoms are pretty well priced though, and are salvageable with modding (Rome is the more playable of the two out of the box).

This weekend's deal is Mount and Blade for $5.  Pretty nifty open world game, but I could never get deep into it.

Also, if you own a STALKER game on your Steam account, you can get Call of Pripyat for $19.99 instead of the regular price of $29.99.  Not bad for those people who got it for $2 during the holiday sale!

I'm gonna pick up the student version of W7 Pro and install it in about 2 weeks and ummm...what happens with steam?  I have like dozens of games installed and save games for a bunch of them.  Is there anyway to export my saves and export my games so I can reinstall steam on W7 without having to redownload 300gigs of games?  And without losing all my saves?  I remember the last time I switched computers and I lost my peggle steam save.  Man, that sucked!  I remember someone mentioning some export features though to prevent this stuff.  Any ideas?

Red Faction G speed issue is not a windows 7 64 problem.  I had the same issue on windows 7 32.  They recently announced that they will finally patch the issue, though, I thought it did make the game just as fun if you play some benny hill music during it.

and yeah, the THQ deal is amazing.  It's come in handy many times.  I didn't even realize STALKER was part of the deal, so that will save me $10 when I buy pripyat later today.

Dawn of War 2 is 5 pounds on the UK THQ store.  You can buy it from anywhere in the world and it's just a cd-key to activate it in steam.  Comes to about $8 USD.  Just got mine and activated it!

http://uk-thq-eshop.gamesplanet.com/

PS. would recommend using paypal.  Some people with CCs are getting errors but then it still charges them and they get the key a few hours later.  Works perfect with PP and entering your CC in there.

No clue either, but for $10 (or $2 each) it's not much of a gamble. If nothing else you get Space Giraffe, and I think it used to be $20 by itself. :lol Jeff Minter probably cuts himself every time you buy it for $2.

Bob comes in pieces reminds me of Banjo Nuts and Bolts a bit

btw, they announced Shatter is coming to Steam.  If you didn't know, Shatter is that breakout style PSN game where you could alter the curve of the ball.  Was a really fun game and they mentioned they want to bring it out as many places as possible, so maybe XBLA as well.

Valve announced today it will bring Steam, Valve's gaming service, and Source, Valve's gaming engine, to the Mac.

Steam and Valve's library of games including Left 4 Dead 2, Team Fortress 2, Counter-Strike, Portal, and the Half-Life series will be available in April.

"As we transition from entertainment as a product to entertainment as a service, customers and developers need open, high-quality Internet clients," said Gabe Newell, President of Valve. "The Mac is a great platform for entertainment services."

"Our Steam partners, who are delivering over a thousand games to 25 million Steam clients, are very excited about adding support for the Mac," said Jason Holtman, Director of Business Development at Valve. "Steamworks for the Mac supports all of the Steamworks APIs, and we have added a new feature, called Steam Play, which allows customers who purchase the product for the Mac or Windows to play on the other platform free of charge. For example, Steam Play, in combination with the Steam Cloud, allows a gamer playing on their work PC to go home and pick up playing the same game at the same point on their home Mac. We expect most developers and publishers to take advantage of Steam Play."

"We looked at a variety of methods to get our games onto the Mac and in the end decided to go with native versions rather than emulation," said John Cook, Director of Steam Development. "The inclusion of WebKit into Steam, and of OpenGL into Source gives us a lot of flexibility in how we move these technologies forward. We are treating the Mac as a tier-1 platform so all of our future games will release simultaneously on Windows, Mac, and the Xbox 360. Updates for the Mac will be available simultaneously with the Windows updates. Furthermore, Mac and Windows players will be part of the same multiplayer universe, sharing servers, lobbies, and so forth. We fully support a heterogeneous mix of servers and clients. The first Mac Steam client will be the new generation currently in beta testing on Windows."

Portal 2 will be Valve's first simultaneous release for Mac and Windows. "Checking in code produces a PC build and Mac build at the same time, automatically, so the two platforms are perfectly in lock-step," said Josh Weier, Portal 2 Project Lead. "We're always playing a native version on the Mac right alongside the PC. This makes it very easy for us and for anyone using Source to do game development for the Mac."

They really need to make FFXI free to play or lower the monthly cost to like $5 a month at this point.  I would definitely hop on and give it a shot if my total amount spent for 50-60 hours of gaming was <$60.

I maaaay hop on with FFXIV though since I missed the FFXI train and have never played an MMO.
Title: Re: Evilbore Steam Thread :monocle
Post by: Bebpo on March 12, 2010, 06:45:36 PM
Kosma, how much fun can you have in 30 days with FFXI if you aren't going to play it hardcore?  So maybe the first 20-30 hours of the game?

I'm debating if I should just buy it for $7.50 and quit within the first 30 days, just to have tried FFXI and seen what it's like.
Title: Re: Evilbore Steam Thread :monocle
Post by: pilonv1 on March 12, 2010, 07:17:52 PM
You might not but there's enough who will pay $15 for it to keep it at that price.

The Xbox 360 version of Half-Life 2 runs on the updated Orange Box build of the Source Engine, whereas the PC version still just runs on the old 2004 build. There was a rumor that Valve would release a patch to add the updates to the PC version, but that never happened. Presumably the scrapped that idea in order to spend the next 10 years working on Episode 3.

Justin: All right. Many people are still wandering about the extra content provided to 360 owners that PC owners have gone without, mainly being the engine update and achievements for Half-Life 2 and Episode One. I think that originally people expected this because somewhere floating in the forums somebody had a screenshot of an email supposedly from you saying that, and this was shortly after the Orange Box release, where somebody noticed that “hey my 360 version looks different from my PC version”. So I don’t know if that was true in the first place or where that stands now.


Gabe: It’s something we said we would do and something we intend to do. We just need to find...you know there are trade-offs, right, spending time getting the engine enhanced and also doing commentary for Half-Life 1. One request I get a lot is having commentary tracks back on the original Half-Life. So, we’d like to do it. We just have to fit into a schedule when we also feel a lot of pressure to do Counter-Strike Source updates and do more Left 4 Dead content. It’d be a tough call, getting a new monster or new special infected out for Left 4 Dead 1 versus getting the engine updates out for the original Half-Life 2. You know we can look at that and see right now that a lot more people are playing Left 4 Dead than are playing Half-Life 2 and we know that if we actually did the updates a lot more people would play Half-Life 2 so it’s just a balancing act. But it is something we said we’re going do and we’ll get around to doing it. It’s just managing all of the things that people would like us to do, all of which we want to do.

i think this interview is from February 2010

Witcher is $20 now

I was really into this until I got to some point where I didn't save for like 2 hours and there was this HUGE spike in the middle of the swamp and I was like WHATS THAT SPIKE FOR and I walked over to it and it INSTAKILLED me and I was like fuuuuuuuuuuu this game.

I'm back on Steam under an old account that I never used: lyteedgejapan.  Is there any way to change it?  I'd like to drop the "japan" part now.   :)

Titan Quest and its expansion were bought on this account previously and never played-- does anyone know if an HP Mini 311 would be able to run it well enough?  I'm currently downloading Call Of Duty 4 and after that will pretty much be sticking with some light gaming.  Maybe Torchlight will be next.  I have a crapload of older PC games from the mid-2000s that I want to play so I'm not exactly hurting for games.

Not sure if I'm gonna get Street Fighter IV or not.  GGPO will probably end up being enough for my fighting game fix.

Depends on whether you want Diablo 1-esque swarms of enemies with no frills [Torchlight] or quest-based RPG looting with lots of different dungeons, world areas, and cities [Titan Quest]. Both a pretty good and I don't think you'd be disappointed with either.

TQ is a better game, but it's also more difficult, more complex and more aggravating. It's bigger and better imagined than TL, but TL is easy to pick up and play.

MW2 runs on my little netbook pretty well at low settings, just like CoD4 does.  It's like playing Modern Warfare 2: Wii Edition.  Kinda makes me wish I'd gotten that over the original now, but $50.99 (plus $15 for the map pack later on) is too high for a game I already have on 360 and would only be playing on PC when on trips or on the go and such. 

Thanks for the advice on the Diablo clones, dudes.  I think I will stick with TQ for now since I already have it anyway.

Anyone having issues with the server browser in Team Fortress 2? Sometimes I can find a server just fine and join them but other times I'm unable to find servers and even if I find them, I can't join any of them. Doesn't seem to be an issue with MW2 or Unreal Tournament 3 and I did the port forwarding.

Don't worry, you're not alone; I've been experiencing the same things and wrote it off as a bug.

My advice is get the Triple Food perk as soon as you can, because Level 12 is damn near impossible without it (or you can always cheat :shh ). There no food on that level! I'm like "Where's the beef??" There is none. Unless you have mad chaining skills, you're screwed.

GTAIV runs at 60fps with almost everything maxed out at 1920x1200 on my PC.  The only thing I have to dial down is texture settings, which I keep at medium, because my videocard only has 1 gig of memory.  GTAIV is the most retardly video memory demanding game in recent memory.  Supposedly, it requires at least a 1.5 gig frame buffer to have everything maxed out with the texture setting at high. 

I'm guessing that most of the performance issues on the PC are due to inefficient streaming from a hard drive.  Before I started using a SSD, I experience a lot more stuttering with GTA4.  Now it's completely smooth.  Rockstar has always been really terrible at optimizing streaming on the PC ports.  The original GTA3 stuttered much more on a PC than it did on a PS2 which was only streaming from a slow DVD drive.  Most people could get GTA3 running at 60fps but it would annoying hitch for a moment every couple of seconds.

Can you really benchmark with a poorly optimized game?

I mean your specs should kill this game and run it at like 3000x2000 at 120fps.  You are running what is basically a straight port of a X360 game on hardware 10-50x more powerful.  At least in JC2's case, the game wasn't a straight port and the PC version had a lot more tech stuff in the engine which pushed up the reqs.

Yeah, they've actually improved performance quite a bit.  Before, on my 1gb card, I can only max out if I'm using medium textures.  Now, I can max out everything except shadows, even when I"m using high textures.  For shadows, I only have to dial it down one notch from very high to high.  Even with much higher settings than before, I'm getting the same framerates which means that the game is performing faster.

One warning about the patch though.  I haven't noticed it myself but some people are complaining that Rockstar dialed back down some stuff such as physics & draw distance in order to up the performance.  So don't apply the patch if you love your rag doll physics.

I think people haven't given GTA4 credit for how much its engine is doing.  When you dial up everything on the PC at 1080P, it's actually doing a lot of stuff.  Comparing the PC version to the console versions is not really an apples to apples comparison.  At most, the consoles are doing about 30% of the max on PC and that's only at 720p for the 360 and less than that on the PS3.  Sure, it could be better optimized but it really isn't that bad.  My main peeve is that performance doesn't scale well with multiple GPUS but that isn't a concern for most PC gamers.

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that I purchased the new GTA4 episodes on Steam.  They both look quite a bit nicer than the original game.  I don't know if it's art or engine update but they just look more vibrant.  Gay Tony seems to be more system demanding though.  It's about 30% slower when running at the same settings as the other two games. 

Buy it at Fry's though if there's one near you.  It's only $25.  That's why I hate buying stuff at Steam unless they're having some crazy 50% off sale.

One thing I have noticed is driving in dash cam makes the framerate dip for some reason, while the other modes run smooth. It doesn't matter what is going on in-game, it still chugs. Not a big deal. Also, the shadows still look like shit on my average machine. I might post some screens and/or movies later. I much prefer the PC version to the console version  8)

The only Rockstar game I don't have (I bought the Rockstar Pack prior to them adding Bully, GTA4, and GTA Episodes), so I guess I'm down for $7.50. Apparently they just patched it up earlier this week.

So I've bagged:
GTA1 -> GTAIV for $15 total.  Cannot complain about that.

Glad I didn't jump on the $42 deal since I already have Max Payne 1/2.  Only thing I'm missing now is GTA Eps from liberty city, but I already have that on X360 and if I want to double dip I'll get it in a year for $7.50 like I just did for GTAIV.

ToCA is very sim-my so probably not.  Dirt 1 + 2 on the PC blows away the console versions.  Surprisingly, the sequel runs better than the original despite having noticeable graphical updates.

Post by: Bebpo on April 30, 2010, 12:19:15 AM
Man, I dunno if the GTA classic pack was a good deal, even at $7.50

Tried playing GTA1/2 and personally I don't think think they hold up anymore.  Not seeing where you are going when driving beyond 10 feet is kind of...not so fun.  I think Chinatown Wars camera was pulled back further which made it a little more acceptable.

Tried playing San Andreas and multitude of problems:
-highest resolution offered was 1600x~; no way to get 1080p even though the non-steam version post hot-coffee patch natively is supposed to support it
-awful tearing with no in-game v-sync option.  When I tried to use D3D it freaks out the program after you start a game and I had to log off to get out
-no native X360 controller support.  Had to use keyboard + mouse and the controls are not the greatest
-I was having sound issues.  Sound effects were really low or non-existent

Basically seemed very problematic and if I ever want to play SA I'd have to spend a bunch of hours trying to tweak this or just play the PS2 version.  I don't see GTA3 or VC working any better :X
Title: Re: Evilbore Steam Thread :monocle
Post by: Great Rumbler on April 30, 2010, 12:24:07 AM
Man, I feel the exact opposite. I've played all three of the PS2 games recently and they all run just fine, no Xbox360 controller support but I've done just fine with keyboard and mouse.

And I still really love GTA2. It's got some issues and can be a bit archaic in some ways, but it's really fun and doesn't get bogged down by all the cinematic-ness of the later games.
Title: Re: Evilbore Steam Thread :monocle
Post by: cool breeze on April 30, 2010, 12:28:01 AM
Bebpo, if you have an Nvidia card, use the nvidia control panel or nhancer (a more advanced version of the control panel) to force vsync and anti-aliasing.  Don't use D3Do.

The only problem I have with Vice City, and San Andreas seems to have the problem too, is that they use Vert- wide screen meaning they crop the top and bottom of the screen to give the widescreen effect; the hud also gets stretched.  I wouldn't be so upset if there wasn't a patch that fixes this for Vice City, but it doesn't work with the Steam verison.  The patch just extends he horizontal view without cropping like widescreen should be.

actually, if you don't have nhancer, it is a useful tool to have:  http://www.nhancer.com/

Just tried GTAIV and it runs pretty well (50-60fps range).  Just wish the game supported AA as the jaggies everywhere in the city are very distracting (and the low res textures everywhere since I can't go higher than medium on texture quality  :'()

Forgot that the cars handle like molasses in the game, lol

I think I'd like GTA2 better if I could play it in a window so it doesn't look so stretched out/ugly on a 1080p screen.  When I click WINDOW under the options box it doesn't do anything :(

I guess I'm just spoiled by GOG and their dedication to making old games run well on modern pcs.  I sometimes forget when they do these steam deals for cheap that non-optimized pre-PS3/X360 gen games don't always work well on today's computers.

Title: Re: Evilbore Steam Thread :monocle
Post by: Bebpo on April 30, 2010, 01:13:38 AM
Ok, with vsync/triple buffering San Andreas is fine.  The Vert- thing is kind of annoying along with stretched texted/menus but playing in 4:3 feels too claustrophobic so I can deal with it to use the full screen. 
I think the keyboard + mouse controls are probably ok once you adjust.

Now I don't know whether I should or should not get the Rockstar pack, I really only want San Andreas, but having no controller suppport is terrible :(

It supports joypads so there may be a way to get the X360 controller working right.  When I tried I could move around with the left analogue but the right analogue did nothing and I couldn't figure out how to make it control the camera.

Doesn't work for GTAIV.  Apparently there's no way to do AA with the engine?  I read that you have to do SSAA through something and it's a big processor hit and not that effective in motion.  Kind of a shame since it's a nice looking engine/city.

Ah, apparently in Directx9 you can't do AA & HDR.  Since GTA4 is dx9 and usese HDR you can't have AA.  There are some mods that tweak the post-processing to smooth it out a bit though.

well I ended up caving on the Codemaster Racing pack.  I always wanted to play Dirt but it was OOP for X360/PS3 after a bit and wanted to play Dirt2 since it looks so nice.  Plus Fuel sounds interesting enough to check out for a few hours (http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2009/06/22/fuel-around-the-world-in-eight-hours/).  Grid is worth the double dip for better resolution/framerate.  And Toca 3 is just a bonus.

Plus Dirt 2/Fuel are GWFL so you get X360 achievements, which is nice.  Finally almost all the games (maybe not Toca 3) have X360 controller support.  All that was enough to push me over for $17

Grid is a real solid game on the PC.  You should be able to get it looking pretty good on your rig, Bebpo. 

About GTA4's lack of AA, I think it was just due to poor programming on Rockstar's part.  The damn thing takes a whopping 1,300 megabytes of framebuffer memory to fully maximize!  There are much better looking games on the PC that require far less memory than GTA4.  The HDR + AA is a hindrance but most newer hardware + drivers have found ways around it.  GTA4 is probably the only big title left that can't have some kinda AA forced on it.  It's a shame because you'd think that, with two extra years, Rockstar would at least fix the AA issue in GTA4 episdoes.

Yeah, it really kills me because as the first person mod shows, GTAIV's city is mighty impressive.  It has this great sense of realism and scale.  Almost like a sim where you are really there living in it.  But then becuase it's a city and thus has lines everywhere the lack of AA takes you out of the experience and reminds you that you are just playing a videogame since everything shimmers as you drive around.

I've managed to download 2 games so far.  Been downloading since like 2pm.

2 hours of downloading later:
Fuel - Doesn't run because Steam is sold out of keys and I have to wait until they get more from the publisher.

2 hours of downloading later:
Dirt - Game starts up.  Go through all the menus.  Forced to watched 5 min tutorial telling me HOW TO PICK RACE  ::) go to start race, race loads and...crash.
oh wait, apparently the steam version of Dirt doesn't support Windows 7 even though the retail version does!   ::) ::)
Quote
DiRT 1 works perfectly fine on Windows 7 with the latest retail patch applied (it removed part of the SecuROM protection that made it incompatible in the first place).
For some idiotic reason this patch was never applied to the Steam version and the retail patch is incompatible as far as I know.

Remember the old saying:
Never buy a Codemasters game on Steam ... unless you want to be screwed over.

Yet it seems to magically work for about 50% of people on Win7, unfortunately I am not one of them.


Between the issues I was having with GTA pack yesterday and these issues.  I'm really starting to get upset with Steam.  I'd always thought they were awesome and waited to buy all my pc games until they were on steam because I love the interface, the achievements, the auto-updating, the ability to have this digital collection at my fingertips for decades to come.  But if older games are going to have compatibility issues AND you can't use official/unofficial patches to fix them because the steam version of the .exe is unique....seems like I'm just throwing my money down the toilet for some of this stuff.

I think for all games if you get a cracked no_cd.exe and replace the one in the main game directory it'll put the .exe on the same level as the retail disc.  Might need to see if I can fix Dirt this way.  I'd like to actually play it!

2 hours of downloading later:
Dirt - Game starts up.  Go through all the menus.  Forced to watched 5 min tutorial telling me HOW TO PICK RACE  ::) go to start race, race loads and...crash.
oh wait, apparently the steam version of Dirt doesn't support Windows 7 even though the retail version does!   ::) ::)





It's probably the I7 bug.  If you're using an I7 and have hyperthreading on, the game gets confused because it doesn't know what to do with 8 threads.

Check the fix near the bottom of the page: http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=880461

Hey, that worked!  Thanks :D

Game is ...not as graphically impressive as I remember the X360 demo being 3-4 years ago.  Time sure raises expectations.
Title: Re: Evilbore Steam Thread :monocle
Post by: Bebpo on May 01, 2010, 01:00:14 AM
Grid runs a smooth 60fps and looks better than Dirt but still console softness and low detail, low draw in distance with everything maxed.  I googled around and saw there is a realism mod that takes off the crappy bloom filter and makes the game look much better.  But I couldn't find a download link for it anywhere :(  Even if I do I dunno if it would work on the steam version.  Hope it does!
Title: Re: Evilbore Steam Thread :monocle
Post by: cool breeze on May 01, 2010, 01:23:26 AM
If it works with the Steam version, I might pick grid up.  I just searched for it (mod is by someone called Dargo) and it makes the game look so much better.  The thing I hated most about the GRID demo was how brown and dusky it was.

I set Grid to 1920x1080p and it worked?  Is it just upscaling it internally or something?

The textures were all low-resy.  Definitely still looks like a 720p X360 game and not like a ground up 1080p sharp PC game.
Title: Re: Evilbore Steam Thread :monocle
Post by: Bebpo on May 01, 2010, 05:10:26 PM
I started the game.  Went to options -> graphics and it was default  at 1920x1080p (my monitor res).
Title: Re: Evilbore Steam Thread :monocle
Post by: Smooth Groove on May 01, 2010, 05:12:19 PM
Hmm wtf, I never got it to 720p even on my HDTV. Did you do it manually?

Probably some kinda driver problem.  Try adjusting the refresh rate if the game gives you the option, like 60HZ to 59HZ instead.  I've experienced that bug with some games before.

Pretty hype for Civ V. Great price on Civ IV if anyone has somehow missed it before. Same price on the D2D sale atm. (They have Fallout 3 for $15!)

I bought Dirt 2 last weekend and the damn thing won't run. Never even get to a splash screen. It just says 'stopped working.' I guess I will look into it this weekend. Sux.

Also, to get GW to run, I had to create a new master account at NC's page. Didn't feel like waiting on all the hassle of going through tech support to retrieve an ancient account.

The bloom on de_dust was just retardedly, eye-bleedingly bright. The sky is blooming, but the light is also blooming off the sand and every pretty much every outdoor surface, so you're looking at just solid bloom. Every time somebody new would enter the game they were like "WTF, I can't see shit!" :lol

So they'll be playing Ilkeston again next season :) Did you pick Ilkeston yourself or were they chosen for you?

There's a section on the FM forums for Lower League Managers, and they have a random team page called "Frank" who picks a team for you. Frank picked Ilkeston for me.

How about this Sega pack for Japan...

Fear 1 & the 1st expansion are worth getting on the PC.  It's not just the superior graphics and framerate.  Precise KB + M controls allow you to play the game without using slow-mo at all, which is a really exhilarating experience.

There's plenty of advice and help through the game if you're not sure about stuff. Plus you can get a lot of your backroom staff (assistant managers/coaches/scouts) to do things for you.

Try out the demo.

After a successful run on Xbox Live Arcade, Wizards of the Coast is bringing Magic: The Gathering - Duels of the Planeswalkers to keyboard and mouse set via Steam next month.

Magic: The Gathering - Duels of the Planeswalkers for Xbox Live was an addictive little digital version of the long-running collectible card game, that I managed to escape only by virtue of having other things to do with my television, so when the game launches on Steam next month? I'm pretty much doomed.

Pre-load for the game starts on June 1, with the full game going live shortly after that, I'd assume. The Steam version will be fully integrated with Steamworks, repeating the benefits of auto-updating, Steam Achievements, Leaderboards, downloadable content, and multiplayer matchmaking.

As an added plus to PC players, the game will ship with the first expansion pack included, all for the low, low price of $9.99.

Is Chaos Rising a substantial single player game?  I finally tried DoWII vanilla tonight and it was pretty cool, thinking I will actually play through the single player.

Also, I never played Relic's previous game Company of Heroes.  Is it similar to DoWII in that it's not about base building and resource management, but about using the units you've got to win the map?  Because I hate base building/resource management, so DoWII is kind of an rts I can be down with!

CoH has some base building, but once you establish a base it's kind of just there to deploy units. I actually maybe like it betterthan DoWII? DoWII is such a directed experience, CoH is a little more free form. Although, Snipers+Mortar Teams pretty much ruin the whole thing.

Ended up getting DoW II gold because I read it's one of the few games where you get to gift your extra copy of DoW II if you already own it.  So I figured $20 for Chaos Rising & an extra gift copy of DoW II is still a good deal.

Hey, e-steamed boritos, I recall there is supposed to be a way to register any old Valve game's CD-key in Steam, so the system will allow you to download/install the latest version of that game, play without the CD inserted (which I guess would be pretty cool for netbook play), etc. But I don't see where to do it on Steam.

Does such a feature actually exist? Or is it the product of a caffeine-addled delusion, a memory miswired, or otherwise implanted memory from an alternate reality?

Anyone who has those earbuds in TF2 is instantly getting targeted by me.

It's almost as good as my idea of PC users and Mac users getting unique hats. It's like a giant NOOB signal.

TF2 is a great game with regards to the fact that a total N00B can have a blast and be helpful, while more advanced players can do their thing all in the same game. It 'scales' beautifully.

$8.50 for Oblivion is tempting. I never got to play Shivering Isles

The new UI for Team Fortress 2 is garbage.

D'aww.

You know, I kind of wish I had the Primeval Warrior badge for TF2 since I've been playing since the beta, but the account that has that length on it has been VAC banned. I wonder if Valve would toss me the in-game item if I asked them about it. I also wonder if my life is meaningless enough to spend the time to do that.

Opposing Force CD-keys cannot be registered through Steam. Opposing Force was included in a retail Half-Life package. The Half-Life CD-key included in the package will unlock all of the games in that package, including Opposing Force.
I've got the key for OF, but apparently I didn't save the code for HL1, which only has the jewel-case insert, not the case-back insert.  :'(

Wow, looks like you're out like $2. On the other hand, you haven't had that thing cluttering up your shelf for the past 10 years. I'd call it a wash.

You're a professional smartass, or do you just do this on weekends?  :P

I've got you beat! I took the time to create a Valve Support account and actually ask them about this problem. I've wasted not only my time, but ideally a few minutes of a valve support person's time AND their manager's time, as they try to figure out the best way to tell me to GET A LIFE.

Though in all honesty, it's not about the money, it's about "free" or "well, I already bought it and still own it so..." -- but I also wondered if there would be some kind of old-skool cred for having an unlocked game from CD-key, the same way that I get amazed by XBL tags that show 5 or 6 year membership.

Steam support is the worst.  They never responded to a request for password recovery on one of my accounts.  Another time, I forgot to uninstall the Crysis games before reinstalling my OS and so the DRM prevented me from using the games.  Once again, they didn't respond when I asked for a new password.  Direct2drive gets a lot of shit from gamers but they've always acted quickly whenever I needed something to be resolved.

Mega-sales like this are always so tempting but ultimately useless since most hardcore gamers usually own most of the stuff in the bundles.  $50 is still too much for hassle-free disc-less installations.  Aside from some COH expansions, there's nothing in that THQ pack I don't already have.  It'd make more sense for them to pack in a pre-order for something like Darksiders but they aren't going to do that.

I have just noticed the new steam discounts. There are a lot of packages that I want but I have about +- 50 euros to spend. My pc isn't that great either, portal runs fine on it though.

1C complete collection has

Kings Bounty + AP
Cryostasis
Men of War + expansions
other stuff

$20

was that a glitch?  it's showing $80 for me

seems like it

I think they meant to only do 75% off individual games and accidentally applied it to the entire collection or something like that.

I ended up not buying anything.
That's the problem when there's too much good stuff on sale!

Will check the daily deals.
Might get Men of War for $3.24 before the sale ends.  I hear it's hardcore difficult but very good.

Gave in and finally got Ghostbusters.

Might buy Lead & Gold.  I like the setting and it looks fun but I never find the time to play multiplayer games so doesn't seem worth it.
Does AvP classic still hold up?
Any reason to double dip on RE5 if you have the console version?  $12.50 still isn't that cheap.  Capcom sales really suck.  I want DMC4 for $4


Also the main game I'm waiting for a sale on this week is Tomb Raider Underworld for <$5 so I can double dip and play it on PC at 60fps instead of X360.
Title: Re: Evilbore Steam Thread :monocle

Aside from the obvious boost in image quality, RE5 on the PC doesn't have a 30fps cap and supports KB+M.  Also, 3D.  :avatar

You can find a retail copy of DMC4 for around $4 online.

Looked like cowboy-flavored TF2 to me, and I've got enough Brokeback in my chaps from Red Dead Redemption. I know what you mean though, multiplayer glitches and exploits and imbalances can make a game really, really un-fun.

It's NOT a shit game. It's TOP TIER Star Wars game right along KOTOR, Tie Fighter and Dark Forces. It has more interesting plot that the New Trilogy. It has amazing physics and graphics.

I'd argue about it being a shitty port. I had ZERO problems with the game on a quite old PC. It's millions times better than Deus Ex: IW, slightly worse than Mass Effect.

Sadly, technical problems may hinder your chances for enjoyment. On two out of three test systems--all of which exceeded the game's recommended hardware requirements--we encountered performance issues that heavily interfered with the experience. The frame rate was wildly inconsistent, taking huge dips whenever there was a lot of action onscreen, and on one system, frame rate troubles were accompanied by snaps and crackles in the audio. Should you run into visual issues, there is no way to adjust graphics settings to improve the game's performance. The Force Unleashed allows you to only adjust the display resolution and brightness levels, so forget tweaking your lighting and anisotropic filter settings.

Quote
It's a wonder that Star Wars: The Force Unleashed: Ultimate Sith Edition for the PC was released at all considering the insignificant effort that seems to have been put into it. Even in the realm of sloppy ports, this one seems particularly egregious, considering its almost total lack of visual options and performance troubles. It's unfortunate that this version feels so rushed because in spite of the core game's scattered flaws, it's an ultimately enjoyable adventure that tells a great story populated by memorable characters. Alas, if you're a PC enthusiast who is tired of rushed console ports, The Force Unleashed is another game to add to that ever-growing list.

Flotilla is really cool.  I played the demo a while back and planned to buy it, but I had a bunch of other things to play and I try not to create a large backlog.  But since it was on sale, I got it.

I think it's on Xbox 360 through community (or indie? i don't remember) games now.

I bought Fort Zombie on D2D for $2.50 today.  It's quite possibly the worst game I have ever played, from the needlessly complicated controls to the flat graphics (which still run at an awful framerate) to the terrible management system.  There is nothing good about it.  Not worth $2.50, or even $0.25.  I hardly ever do this, but I made a special note of the developer name (Kerberos Productions) so that I never make the mistake of purchasing anything by them again.

No seriously, did you buy it blind? Looks like an iphone game.

I don't much care about looks for cheap indie games, and I expected it to be less than optimized (and was it ever), but they failed on the most fundamental level - control.  You're constantly fighting between the mouse camera/wasd movement, like trying to play two games at once.

apparently steam has been raising prices even for the lasting sale, but generally it is good to wait until the last sale day since daily deals are the best ones.

Fuck you Eel, you made me buy it even though I've played all of those except World at War. I've now been accumulating shit on Steam sales for 6 solid months "for when I get my new gaming PC" :lol

But I thought your iPad does it all? :kylielaff

Never said that - mine is basically used for reading comics and books. But that's more than enough to make it the most awesome thing ever.

I'm getting the PC for sure...some kind of 480 build with an SSD. Not going SLI though. Just a matter of when. The timing issue is kind of out of my hands, as my wife keeps stealing money from me to use for her start-up business. :gloomy

Good idea.  A decent SSD is essential for power gamers, maybe even more so than SLI.   Everything just feels silky smooth like old school games running off cartridges.

I want to get an SSD eventually.  I don't know how many games I'll run off of it because I generally like keeping my games installed.  My steam folder is 150+ gigs and that doesn't include non-steam games.

Post by: Smooth Groove on June 29, 2010, 01:47:10 AM
There's a trick to link your SSD folders to a hard drive so that you can still keep Steam on your main partition.  Also, moving files back and forth is actually not much of a hassle because a SSD writes and reads small files so quickly.  I just keep all my games on 2gb of hard drive space and copy the ones I want to play onto my SSDs.

You can get the individual XComs for $1.24 btw, if you are only interested in the original and sequal.

Also, is there any fan-made graphical mod for this, I remember searching for one awhile back and came up empty but find it hard to believe there isn't something (not looking for pretty, just something that's functional in a window larger than the games original res on my laptop lcd screen)

The mods don't work with the newest patch though because the creator threw a prissy fit about Rockstar not contacting him to help them.  Some guys tried to do some stuff with his work but they just aren't as talented.

mods work on the latest patch, just not that ENB one that makes the game look even better

the game still looks substantially better than it did on consoles and biggest issue is the lack of AA.  Also compared to the console versions, the controls are a lot more responsive when using a 360 controller.

GTA4 for $5 is worth it just to mess around in the first person mod with tons of cheats.


do the mods make the game playable and fun

depends on how much you disliked GTA4

I think using a trainer helps a lot.  There are a lot of cheats to use, but even if you want to play the game for real, you can do things like make all character relationships 100% so you don't need to accept cellphone calls.  There are a lot of crazy cheats too like being able to fly, teleporting around the world, a gravity gun, locking the time of day, etc.

I played RFG way before JC2, but I was replaying it on PC and JC2 did kill my interest in continuing with it.

though, I wish that JC2 had the destruction of RFG. Then again, RFG didn't have any huge buildings in it while JC2 has several cities and huge buildings.

The whole time I was playing JC2 I wished it had the destruction of RFG.

I think I liked RFG and JC2 about equally.  Both have a lot going for them and both repetitive and have a lot going against them as well.  Probably my favorite two sandbox games this gen.


For today's sale bought Flatout, can use a fun arcade racer for $2.

Eric P, what did you like about JC2?

I haven't tried JC2 beyond running benchmarks but the eye candy is amazing. 

i liked the diversity of environment the most.  i could do missions in city scapes, jungles, icy mountains, deserts and oceans and it was all open to me from the start.  

quick travel (the bane of these games) is not a problem.  I'm at point A, I want to get to point B but I'm impatient and want to just do stuff at point B immediately, i can call in an chopper evac and be magically teleported to that location (assuming i'd "discovered" it at some point).

If i don't want to do the varied and scripted missions, i can cause havoc on my own on my terms

if i didn't want to cause havoc i could do missions which were varied to the point of my doing every single side mission available in the game, something i never, ever do.

after playing JC2, RFG just seemed so slow and monochromatic by comparison

yeah, I think what makes JC2 a lot of fun is that you never feel like you're wasting time traveling.  Even if you ignored the quick travel, the parachute, grapple, and all the different types of vehicles, etc. the game still has tons of things to destroy or collect. 

it looks like the DLC is on sale too and I'd recommend getting the one with the jetpack parachute booster.  Even if you don't mod it with super speed or infinite boost, it makes traveling around easier.

That superman mod is actually kinda disappointing because it doesn't make any sound when you fly around.  I don't know if later versions of it added the swoosh noise when you fall, but it would help a lot.  Still impressed by the mods JC2 gets.

I got Thief 3 on direct2drive, but at $3 it's tempting to double dip on steam just because it's so much easier to just click "install" and then click "play" instead of having to go and log in and download the exe and install the game.  Probably won't double dip but it's tempting and the reason I don't buy things from other services anymore.

does anyone else ever feel tempted to rebuy games they have bought on other download services? 

I got Thief 3 on direct2drive, but at $3 it's tempting to double dip on steam just because it's so much easier to just click "install" and then click "play" instead of having to go and log in and download the exe and install the game.  Probably won't double dip but it's tempting and the reason I don't buy things from other services anymore.


Also might get Madballs because apparently it's good?

It's the other way around for me.  I buy more stuff from D2D because they don't ignore me when my CD-key no longer works due to OS re-installations. 

Not a problem if you never install the games

could you explain this a little bit? i too appreciate steam because  (so far anyways) it's so convienent (almost too convienent when these sales happen) and also doesn't treat you as guilty until proven innocent re: DRM. Are there cdkey issues I should be looking out for in the futur

Stuff like EA games keep track of how many times you've installed the game.  If you've forgotten to uninstall or had a borked OS a couple of times then the CD key might no longer work. 

I wasn't aware of that until some of my Steam games wouldn't work.  Before, I've always thought that Steam takes care of all DRM issues.  When I contacted Steam about getting me new keys, they just ignore my requests.  Many others have complained of the same treatment from Steam regarding such issues. 

D2D is much better at resolving such problems.  I had to request a new key twice for a game during a particularly bad streak of OS upgrades and they came through quickly without any questions.

FlatOut: Ultimate Carnage is pretty good. I played the original some time ago and I remember liking it, but I never really played it that much. The third entry seems much more fleshed out, with lots of new modes and some pretty good graphics. I'd say that the bonus modes [bowling, high jump, ect.] are probably the best thing about the game, they're just so much fun.

Just Cause 2 is the only decent deal. Metro and Battlefield need bigger discounts

$4.43 for all Just Cause 2 DLC too

hey, on the bright side the deals from yesterdays is are still on.

Just Cause 2 is the only decent deal. Metro and Battlefield need bigger discounts

I'd get Battlefield if I didn't own it.  But Metro is supposed to be short and linear and needs to be more around a rental price.  Plus for $25 more you get all the other THQ stuff and its a great deal.

Just Cause 2 DLC is also half off but the only one really worth owning is the aerial pack with the jet booster.  I own that too.

I'll grab JC2 for $15 during the Christmas sale, and I'm disappointed that M&B Warband isn't on sale.  Oh well, I guess I'll play some more Borderlands.

How much have you guys spent during this sale?  I've only spent ~$51 which is less than I thought, although those $3 and $4 games really add up. :P
Title: Re: Evilbore Steam Thread :monocle
Post by: Eel O'Brian on July 03, 2010, 02:18:11 PM
on myself only $23.50 this time

some nice folks bought me some games, and i bought some for people, and i still have one or two to pick up for others before it is over

i also bought the COD pack, but i don't count it because i'm just selling my disc copies to pay for it so i consider it more of a trade out

is there going to be a daily deal tomorrow, or was this the last of it?

Post by: Bebpo on July 03, 2010, 05:09:13 PM
The last day will be good for me because if it doesn't go on sale I'm nabbing Men of War for $3.74!

But Tomb Raider Underworld for <$5 would be nice too :P


Sorta tempted to spend $1.50 on JC2 dlc for parachute thrusters and agency speedboat but I doubt I'll ever boot the game again so I'll pass.
Same with DMC4 for $7.50 but I'll never play it cause I played the hell out of the game on console and unlike DMC3 which is amazing with a zillion boss fights, no reason to go back to DMC4

I'll buy Mount & Blade when it hits $2-4 eventually. 
I'll buy Metro 2033 when it hits <$10 eventually.
I'll buy S&M S3 after I actually finish playing Strongbad, Monkey Island, and Wallce&Gromitt.

Winterbottom
Thief: Deadly Shadows

My total for the sale:

Ghostbusters $4
AvP Classic $1.25
Flotilla $2?
Gothic 2/3 $2
Kane & Lynch $5
Flatout UC $2
Madballs $2
Tropico 3 $7.50
P.B. Winterbottom $2.50
Max & The Magic Marker gift received

So I'm just rounding and about $30.  Add in Men of War tomorrow for $4 and about $35 unless there's something good in the deals.

Considering I got all those games + Puzzle Agent ($10) for less than the price of a single X360/PS3 game after Amazon discounts, I think I made out well.  And having gotten Mass Effect 2 from the EA sale for $24, I think I'm totally good on PC game buying until Black Friday sales.  Although I'll buy Fallout NV at full price to support Oblivion.

Has anyone here actually played TLR on PC? I'm curious how they tweaked the difficulty to counterbalance the removal of the leader cap

I read somewhere they did something to balance it.  So it's not like they just removed the cap and left it as is.

Title: Re: Evilbore Steam Thread :monocle
Post by: iconoclast on July 04, 2010, 02:33:05 PM
TLR on PC seems like a good improvement. The battles are sped up so you don't have to sit through 3 minutes of animations, and I read that they changed the way the Battle Rank scaling works. Though looking at the enemy health differences between the PC version and the 360 version, the leader cap removal looks like it makes the game a whole lot easier. The Fallen even had his health decreased in the PC version, so unless they changed the fight, he's probably a joke in comparison. Which probably just means you'll have to do less grinding to beat him and the true final boss.

This sale has been great for me

thus far:

I don't think we have enough people to do a full TF2 game (the best we could do is all join up on a server and play together), but we should have enough to do L4D.  When are some good times for everybody?  I would assume that weekends would be the best.

The moon game was pretty interesting.  It's hardly a game, though.  You and a few guys just repair a moon base.  Because you move so slow and clunky you need to work together, so one guy carries things and puts them into place while you repair them.  14 or so minutes of that and it's over and that's it.

Bought (and beat) Puzzle Agent. Took me about 3 hours, which is I guess about the same as a Sam & Max Episode, but it still seemed really short. I was just getting into it, and then it was over. The story was cool, it was like some kind of Twin Peaks/Lovecraft panache for kids.

Ending was really abrupt.

I felt it was about as long as their normal episodes.  Took me 3 days of night sessions.  But then again I always feel like their normal episodes are too long because they don't give you the satisfaction of a full length adventure game and they aren't short enough to just be a nice short adventure like indie adventures that are 2-3 hours.  I feel like their 6 hour or so length just doesn't work that well.  Especially because a lot of them feel like they're 2 games back to back with a twist in the middle.

I felt it was about as long as their normal episodes.  Took me 3 days of night sessions.  But then again I always feel like their normal episodes are too long because they don't give you the satisfaction of a full length adventure game and they aren't short enough to just be a nice short adventure like indie adventures that are 2-3 hours.  I feel like their 6 hour or so length just doesn't work that well.  Especially because a lot of them feel like they're 2 games back to back with a twist in the middle.

halflife? sorry i drunk,m but if halflife, fuuuuuuuuuu you

How can they do free stuff? Is it a micropayment thing, or just a lure to get people on Steam?

This is weird.  The original Mafia game is on Steam, but the only way you can get it is if you preorder the sequel (it's free in the case)  ???

I literally just found a lot of old PC games, including Mafia, or else I'd be tempted to do that.

also, Lead and Gold is getting a free weekend + half off

It is really good but there's some really annoying parts (eg the raceway bit).

Tried Lead & Gold since it was a free.

Fun, but mouse speed is slow even on max, keyboard controls are awkward (direction + ctrl to dodge), and no AA because it's stupid UE3.0 so jaggiessss


Will give it one more try another day this weekend with a X360 controller and see if it's any more enjoyable.

It's not really like TF2 to to be fair.  TF2 is really fast paced and big team fun.  You play lots and lots of rounds.  L&G strikes me as the kind of game you play a few long matches and are done for the night.

Decided to take a stab at that gothic horror adventure game Alter Ego. There weren't many reviews online for it (and most of the ones I did find were German) but the main complaints seem to be there's a lot of walking around and the graphics are dated. Yeah, okay.

just finished the Recettear demo. it's about 2 hours long and saves are compatible with the full game, so if you're interested, give it a shot.

it's okay. it's a no-budget indie game, but a polished and cute one. my bigger issue is that buying and selling isn't that fun (it's just higher/lower numbers until everyone meets in the middle) and the dungeon gameplay is kind of naff. it also has the uniquely Japanese problem of assuming you only play PC games with a gamepad.

it is kind of interesting that your adventurer equipment is also your store equipment, so you have to weigh selling that powerful longsword for a phatty profit vs. selling it for far less to an adventurer (but then getting to use it in the dugneon).

I had fun, but I don't really feel the need to spend $20 and 20-30 more hours on the full game.

SE's Press Release from a few days ago says:

Quote
Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light will be available on PlayStation Network and Steam on September 28, 2010 for $14.99. The game will feature single player and full offline co-op campaign gameplay, with online co-op available at a later date. The game is rated T for Teen by the ESRB.

I'm still buying it though because Legend is the only TR game I don't have on Steam. Hopefully "a later date" is soon.

I tried playing Raceteer demo.  Too much talking so I skipped everything and then the dungeon crawling was ultra simple and my recruit died in like 4 hits.  Guess it's not for me.

Tried playing KoTOR since I got it for $2.50 the other day and...it doesn't work :\  Man, I have to say my experience with older games & steam has been fairly awful.  Lots of buying games for cheap only to find they won't run.  Even tried in Win7 compatibility XP mode as Admin and still no luck.  Loads the title screen but the keyboard isn't recognized and neither are the mouse buttons, lol.  Oh well.  Now I'm kind of curious if Jade Empire I bought for like $3 years ago works.  Gonna install that now.

This is why despite GoG's stupid prank shit, they are still needed.  I'd rather keep my pre-2005 PC game purchases to GoG where I know the games will work and be compatible with mods.

Jade Empire runs great (I had to put it on XP compat mode).  Seemed kind of neat.  I really should play it one of these days to see the power of 9.9 (plus it should give a good idea of how Dragon's Age 2 will play since they're both arpgs)

Joe, how is faerie solitare?  I see you've played 10 hours of it ;)

I like my solitaire, and it was a fun variation that I hadn't played before. Well, really I've only played Windows Solitaire (Klondike), Freecell, and Spider Solitaire, because I don't like paying for Solitaire games, but it was only $3.50, so what the heck. Plus there's some story about faeries and an evil wizard and you can collect Pokemon, but I skipped all the story and the Pokemon can't fight so they're pointless.

I tried playing Raceteer demo.  Too much talking so I skipped everything and then the dungeon crawling was ultra simple and my recruit died in like 4 hits.  Guess it's not for me.

Dunegon crawling is only useful at the first of the game (and you shouldn't get hit at all ;) ), later in the game it's a complete waste of time, item shopping is what this game's all about.

I tried playing King's Bounty: The Legend because I was going through some older steam stuff and on Win7 w/Nvidia cards the game crashes once you start moving in a 3d area.  I searched around and apparently Steam has been automatically downloading a bad patch (1.7) since August 2009 that causes the game to not work on Vista or Win7 with Nvidia and you can't tell it to not patch to 1.7 :X  Another reason why Steam can be annoying with older stuff since sometimes patches break the game and you can't tell steam to not auto-patch (you can, but if you don't have the game installed when you install it, it'll patch to the latest version no matter what).

BUT
there is a fix.  Originally the devs/pub said they were working on a patch.  It's been over a year, I'm assuming they gave up. 
Instead if you disable Anti-aliasing & V-sync (can still use v-sync through D3Doverider) it works fine.  So you just don't get any AA.  Annoying but after all these UE3.0 games and GTA4 I'm getting used to jaggies on my PC.  More console like experience!

Apparently Armored Princess & Crossworlds run perfectly fine.  Just effects The Legend. 

I actually have The Legend on gamersgate and if I wanted I could play that version pre 1.7 with AA, but eh, more convenient to just play on steam with no AA.

Cities XL is on sale this week. $4.99 for the standard edition or $6.24 for the limited edition [comes with some extra buildings and maps].
Title: Re: Evilbore Steam Thread :monocle
Post by: Great Rumbler on September 29, 2010, 07:54:04 PM
If you've played City Life or Sim City Societies, here's what changed between those and Cities XL:

-Zones are back, no more placing each individual buildings
-Auto road for all zones, although there is an option to just place a single square zone without roads
-Zones don't have to be perfectly square, they can be just about any shape you want
-Less micromanagement, more macromanagement
-Very informative displays and notices

Basically, even though the online aspect of the game is long gone, if you like city-builders, you will like Cities XL. It's $5, go buy it.

Post by: pilonv1 on September 29, 2010, 08:34:37 PM
I played the beta and it was pretty terrible then, but it was so focused on the online stuff I can understand why. As a City Builder it was competent but there were some weird design choices (something about road directions, or was it no trains?) and the population seemed to grow in weird areas.
Title: Re: Evilbore Steam Thread :monocle
Post by: Great Rumbler on September 29, 2010, 08:59:56 PM
I haven't noticed anything weird like that so far, although I don't think there's any transportation aside from roads, buses, and airports. I mean, yeah, it's a bit on the bland side without anything that really, truly defines it, but it's a solid city-builder [the best, pure city-builder released in nearly 8 years] and its dirt cheap.

It makes more sense when you realize the company was in the process of going out of business, and CitiesXL 2011 was being handed off to another developer.

Amnesia's promo video has huge gamma issues on my screen. I can not see anything for the last minute or so. It's crazy. I hope the game doesn't look like that, or rely on You Can't See Shit, Can You? Scary, Right? gameplay.

It does have a light/dark thing where staying in the dark makes your character go crazy, which actually makes your view worse because it gets blurry and all that stuff.  You get items to light candles and a lantern fueled by oil, but both seem limited.  I never thought the scary stuff was because they were hiding things.  One tense point in the demo is when you need to get by an area filled with water without going in it.  If you stepped in it for a second, you see splashes coming towards you.  There are times when you had to go the water to move forward, and that was just and hoping the monster didn't get you; all you heard was the sound of water splashing getting closer and you tried to climb up a box not wasting time to turn around.  I'm assuming that scary for reasons like that and less because it is dark and things jump out at you.

Yeah that's not even remotely the issue most players are "MELTDOWN WITH RAGE" over. More the fact that the Polycount Pack weapons break the game balance further still.

probably wont buy anything else until you can craft the stuff you buy or I get a crate and I wanna gamble

really the only things worth bitching about this update are:

the prices of some things (18$ for a hat wtf?)
set bonuses are bullshit (could be fixed)

I would probably buy 1 or 2 sets for $10.

Same with hats for $2.50. Everything is about 50% too much.

So I just bought the noob rocket launcher and some minor shit that never drops for me (Natascha and Dead Ringer) and got my free hat :heart

I liked the little bit of Metro I played but it needs a faaaar better rig than mine to play properly so I'm waiting another year or two until I get a new card.  If you can only play the game on medium it's not worth playing.  High and above look amazing.


Also MLB 2k10 is $2; I'm passing because I always hear MLB 2k series sucks.
NBA2k10 was $2 for about 2 hours and then it went back up to $20 :(  Too bad because I'd get it at $2.

Red Faction Guerilla was a small outfit called Reactor Zero, Saint's Row 2 was done in-house at Volition [which makes it even stranger, I suppose]. Darksiders was done in-house by Vigil Games.

DRM Sucks, but as long as I'm carefully I'll probably not get screwed by that.  Plus if I do, I will not be hesitant to look around the seedier side of the internet to find a way to play this game I have legitimately purchased.

Download the Risen demo before you buy it blindly.  I'm not gonna make the same mistake I did with The Witcher... waste of $20.  That game has the worst combat I've ever experienced in an WRPG.  It's only lauded so highly because it's PC exclusive.

Risen demo link: http://news.bigdownload.com/2009/10/01/download-risen-demo/  Gonna try it after work and post impressions.

I tried to tell you guys before, the combat in Risen is pretty much poop for the first 3/4 of the game. It's only when you get the combat skill up to the highest level does it start to get kind of decent.

who to believe :(

A lot of wrpg fans say Risen is top-quality wrpg like the Witcher.  Great combat, great world to explore, good challenge, good graphics/voice work.
Yet a lot of wrpg fans say the game sucks, or is good early on and then gets boring or is boring early on and then gets good after 20 hours. 

There apparently is no consensus on this game!  ^^;

-Graphics are pretty good
-Voice work is decent, not great
-Island has some interesting secret places to find, but is fairly small and not particularly varied
-Combat is really meh, until you get the last level of the [sword] combat skill and it start to finally become bareable

The main draw here is that it has a good number of quests and sidequests that are reasonably well done, but it's NOT a great WRPG.

Turning off Depth of Field and using those tweaks made a nice difference. Glad I went with this and not Two Worlds 2, I can see I will enjoy this as a modern old timey WRPG. Exactly what I was looking for to play after Fallout NV

my feelings exactly. I'm highly unlikely to finish the SP anyway. There's no reason to pay more than $20 for it on Steam though, given the amount of great stuff we've all got built up. At this point, the list of games I'd pay full-price for on Steam probably goes like: Half-Life 3

It'll drop fast.  Already fell from $60-$30 on consoles over black friday and has been around $30-40 since.

Still was stupid of EA to keep it off steam for the first month.  Will double dip when game is $5 in a year.

Hot Pursuit is fun but not particularly impressive in any area.  As a Brit, you might want to check out F1 2010 though.  Supposedly it runs really well on PC and it should be great in 3D on your rig. 
Title: Re: Evilbore Steam Thread :monocle
Post by: Cormacaroni on December 15, 2010, 01:47:43 AM
it's on my Wish List if you care to buy it for me, big spender  :-*

I'm actually not into F1 racing at all but I like most of Codemasters' stuff so have a mind to check it out in the sales. I've heard good things about it from a friend who worked on the Sony F1 game for PS3.

BTW, Fallout 3 with NMC looks aaaaaaaammmmmaaaaaaaaaazing in 3D. I was :drool ing all over the place. Good call. Haven't added the huge bumpmaps yet - might try that tonight.
Title: Re: Evilbore Steam Thread :monocle
Post by: Smooth Groove on December 15, 2010, 02:24:39 AM
Sure, when it goes on sale.  I haven't even gotten it for myself since I suck ass at F1 games.  I think F1 is great but it's just too technical for me.  $40 is still too much for a graphical showpiece (that isn't DX11  :P ). 

And yeah, the NMC texture pack is amazing.  I added everything, including the huge bumpmaps and it makes Fallout 3 look like one of the best looking games this gen.   It doesn't seem to have a big impact on performance either.  I just have to figure out how to make Fallout 3 stop crashing randomly.  It got stable all of a sudden but I'm not even sure what happened.

Did you try that large memory address enabler (or whatever) that the NMC guy recommended? I have it downloaded but it seems like a bit of a PITA to install. Might give it a go tonight.

Yeah, it's a 3D showcase too. NVidia rates it 'Excellent' and they're right. I don't think I can go back and play it on 360 now.

Just kidding about buying it for me, of course. I'm not hurtin' :tophat

i'm willing to bite at 30. I mostly want to be able to take it online to get the Autolog stuff going. From what I saw when I played the PS3 version, Autolog is really awesome and not having it really hurts the game.

I just tried it.  I'm not sure if it'd help but I'm pretty sure now that my previous crashes were memory related.  It's not surprising since those textures are so huge. 

Yesterday, I noticed that the game only crashed when I was outdoors and using 32X AA/16 AF.  I had no crashes after I bump things back to standard 4Xaa and 4XAF. 

I'm gonna try to see if your fix would let me bump the AA back up again 'cause the game looks so damn pretty.

There are some mods already on newvegasnexus.com but probably nothing yet at the level of the top FO3 mods.

I think I'm just about done with Team Fortress 2. At first this whole buying weapons to get them faster didn't bother me until it was apparent that these new weapons drop less than normal ones and that people who spend the $50 have a much better chance of doing winning than those who don't.

Shoulda made it cosmetic things only.

I was done with TF2 when the microtransaction patch hit.  It now feels less like a game, and more of a grind.

My biggest gripe against TF2 is that the items are random drops.  I'm not inherently against the concept of a cash shop, but a game needs to give players an option to work towards unlocking items, even if it is at a snails pace compared to spending real money.  Random drops make it feel like you are pissing away time hoping for a particular item.

So, I got to use my new headset today and Team Fortress 2 is all fucked up. Microphone Boost can't be disabled or it'll just reset to default. I know for a fact my sound card works and I'm pretty sure it worked for Team Fortress 2 in the past so I uninstalled the drivers that I recently updated to play Mirror's Edge and reinstalled the old drivers.

I also deleted Steam and all the games installed so now I have to wait 20 years for TF2 to download because of the Christmas sale. I'm going to be really pissed if this can't be fixed. And if this did fix the issue, I'll never play Mirror's Edge again. At least with sound on.

Have you tried disabling microphone boost in your sound card's properties?

Sega and Capcom can form a queue to suck my cock.

"not available in your region"

I'm trying to give you money here you crazy spuz chugging puss fuckers - FREE MONEY. But NOOOOoooooo.

Fuck the pair of them.


As pilonv1 says, it's easy to get around thanks to all the kind bromos here. Note all the non-Japan stuff in my list above :)

No point ranting about regioning, it's been a fact of our lives for years and there's fuck all valve can do to change it if they want the content owners on their platform.

Maybe the company that has paid for the rights to release it in your country wants control over how it gets advertised. If (say) the US trailer contains content that they consider likely to offend people in your region, they will be pissed off at the US advertisers for letting you see it. Nobody wants to take these kind of risks, so it gets pulled, and INTERNET FURY results. Just think about it from someone else's perspective once in a while and your rage at lack of free stuff all the time will dissipate somewhat.

Yeah, almost certainly it's Capcom holding off the contractual agreement until after that sale was passed. I can't imagine the Japanese PC gaming contingent could bring Steam to its knees, but you can bet that Capcom's still trying to figure out how to make some money off that distribution contract.

to anyone who bought Oddworld Strangers Wrath back during Christmas, the patch to fix it was released and it seems to do just that.  It's still lacking some options and there are the quirks of a console port, but it runs smooth at my monitors native resolution now.  smooth as locked at 76 vsync'd, potentially more, compared to in the teens.

I'm honestly done waiting and searching for physical copies, either they drop its price or I'm pirating the shit out of it. Besides, if I ever thought of dropping that much for a Squeenix game I'd probably go for their $75 pack.

backup saves everything, so that you can just install from a disc instead of re-downloading

I see, thanks.

runs easily at 60fps at much higher resolutions, better textures, image quality with medium grade hardware.  Also works with 360 pad.

I had Guardian of Light on PS3 due to that Gamestop mix-up but still bought it on PC after playing both versions.

Depends on how much you care about how the game looks and runs.  PS3 looks blurry and choppy compared to the PC version and I don't think the PC version requires beefy hardware either.  PS3 version is probably just as fun as the PC version if you ignore all the technical stuff.  The reason I bought it "again" on PC was because I really liked the demo and I like my games to look good and smooth.

Title: Re: Evilbore Steam Thread :monocle
Post by: Smooth Groove on February 21, 2011, 07:24:36 PM
d3doverider works more consistently although a few games can crash if you try to force vysnc with d3d.  Also, leave triple-buffering on if there's no problem.  Triple buffering makes the framerate smoother if it ever drops below 60.

ep2 gets a little crazy at the end

like the amount of juggling tasks within a timelimit

plus the ending is cliffhangerish which makes the wait for ep3 painful

Will get back to it, but didn't really feel like doing the tutorial again last week.

Basically, it's the jankiest RPG you've ever played with a level of pretentiousness so high, it makes Braid look like Super Mario Bros. You don't get any offensive moves until the third chapter, all of your "attacks" are like cry or sulk and something like that, which push enemies (which are actually your inner demons) away from you or give you an extra movement point per turn, and your goal is invariably to survive a certain number of turns or run away from the combat area.

You have to use "Repulsion" to knock shadows away from the door so you can flee or "Anticipation" to reduce the amount of damage you take from the shadows' "Harassment" attack. There are also a lot of dialog choices, although most are *Cry Incoherently* when the shadows make fun of you for freaking out over your father's death. :lol

The prologue is the "base game" and then each chapter (three so far) is sold as DLC and you have to play them in order. As for how long it is...I think the chapters are around 3-4 hours each, but someone would have to actually beat it first to confirm that.

Dirt 2 is prob one of the best looking PC games i've ever seen, plus it runs like a true fucking champ. I have it on Ultra with 8x AA and it looks amazing. Sadly screenshots don't really capture the magic but :bow'

Also it has fantastic fucking sound design, like when you go into cockpit view you hear the cage rattling and you hear how the car sounds over different terrains

Super Meat Boy is god-tier, Reckless Disregard for Gravity is a fun arcade-ish game, Defense Grid is one of the best tower defense games, Amnesia: The Dark Descent is super-scary, Killing Floor is a really fun online shooter, and The Wonderful End of the World is an indie ripoff of Katamari Damacy, so yeah there's some pretty great games in there.

WTF is this game. ATTACK ME ALREADY  :'(

Amazing gothic horror so far, like Myst and Silent Hill got together and made a scary ass baby.

Magicka is 50% off at $4.99 to celebrate the Vietnam expansion. The Vietnam expansion is $4.99 but you can actually get both Magicka and the Vietnam expansion for $7.99 (including the Wizard's Survival Kit which adds some extra items and magick) which is an even better deal. I went ahead and snagged it.

Oh and Bioshock 1 and 2 are both on sale for $4.99 each. I bought Bioshock 2 because I never actually played it and it has GFW achievements.

Metro 2033 is just confounding.  Wasn't this that tech boner game PC nerds championed? it doesn't even have advanced settings! the cfg files are hidden in the oddest places, and some basic options like Vsync can only be altered in text.  What's weird is that turning Vsync on increases the frame rate.  And the default FOV is 45.  45.  Have to look through hidden folders to change it to something that won't make me dizzy.

Now, here's hoping the game is fun to play.

Yea, EA knows they have to play ball with Valve to a certain extent because that's where all the DD money is at, but they're not going to support Steam anymore than they have to. 25% off Dragon Age 2 and no Crysis 2 sale was pretty telling. If you've seen the newest version of their EADM, it's pretty obvious they're trying to make their own version of Steam.

Havin trouble. Had a nasty bug on the system, cleaned it out, did a restore point, and I'm good. Been playin the witcher tho, and now it won't start. :( stops working.

Checked cache, still failed. Redownloaded last night, still nothing. Other games run fine. Any suggestions?

Try uninstalling it, then manually deleting any leftover files and folders pertaining to the witcher on your system (check in both program files and my documents), remember to back up your savegames tho. then run a registry cleaner to get rid of any entries.

Try redownloading the witcher after you've done all that, see if it works.

To be honest, I don't know why these indie devs keep releasing these multiplayer-only games. They're all going to be dead in few months, at the most. You're not going to develop the next Counter-Strike, the the multiplayer market is already too flooded with AAA titles from billion dollar devs. Maybe they get lucky and get enough people to jump on board from Day 1 and they spread some decent word of mouth around and you make enough money to pay the bills. But I just look at games like Dino D-Day and shake my head. It's a ridiculous enough game that I probably would have bought it if it had a story mode, but no way in hell I'm buying some high-concept multiplayer game with busted ass gameplay that nobody's going to want to touch after the first week.

shrug, I bought MNC.  You get a free guest pass with it that lasts for a month so you give it to your buddy and the two of you can play it for $3.75.

Post by: pilonv1 on June 19, 2011, 08:44:57 PM
Multiplayer games are all about community, if you're not in at launch you're missing out unless you've got the next Counter Strike or Team Fortress 2.

You'd think people would learn from trying to compete against WOW, TF2, CS etc... someone name the last multiplayer knock off that still had an active community 12 months later?

It's a standard cover-based shooter with the Mark & Execute feature from Splinter Cell: Conviction. It also features Daniel Craig, Judi Dench and Josh Stone as a bond girl. For $14 you could do a whole lot worse when it comes to Bond games.


Oh and it has a MW-like online component that nobody played.

Yeah, but does it even feel like a Bizarre Creations product?  Or just some generic cover shooter by some generic team?  When I hear Bond action game by Bizarre I think gunplay like The Club and driving sections like PGR/Blur.

I kinda went back and forth with my decision to purchase Blood Stone.  It's Activision, which means stingy pricing even for the bombs, so this might be the best price for a while.  But it's still $14 to support a middling sounding game that destroyed the developer.  Ultimately: nah, son. 

It's supposed to be ~4 hours of linear cinemaction stuff.  The most reassuring comments I've heard compare it to Everything or Nothing, one of the two best Bond games next to the Wii Goldeneye game.  On that, while it's not on PC or consoles that matter, Goldeneye on the Wii is really great.  Oddly, the Daniel Craig model in that is better than the Blood Stone one.

I'm gonna boost the Lead & Gold one with some gaffers as soon as I get it downloaded. It's only 1.5GB but Steam's servers are getting slammed.

How's Vampires Masquerade? I need some real talk.

A flawed masterpiece. Even the fan patches can't fix all the problems, but it's still an fantastic game.

How's Vampires Masquerade? I need some real talk.

Half-broken, or a quarter broken if you use the fan patches, and as janky as you'll find in a major release, BUT it's also a very deep RPG with great characters and lots of player choice in a well-realized world that oozes atmosphere.

You may also wish to consider using God Mode to breeze through the awful combat.

It's probably one of the best cases of a title that was almost an all-time classic, but just couldn't quite get there because of technical problems. The stiff, painful cutscenes, the jankiness of the combat, jerky animations, the bug and glitches. If Activision had given Troika a bit more time and bit more money [and if Troika had more skill with doing 3D graphics], it might could've been one of the greatest RPGs of all time. As it stands now, it's more like the fish that got away. Still, if you can overlook the technical issues, there's still hints of greatness that almost was to be found.

Post by: Great Rumbler on June 30, 2011, 11:38:14 PM
are the Oblivion DLCs stand alone?

I heard that Isle one is supposed to be good

Shivering Isles takes placed in a brand new world space. The others are just in the normal world space.

I mean, can I just play Shivering Isles?

I don't want to play a new game of Oblivion just for the DLC

You have to start a vanilla-Oblivion saved game, but I think you get the Shivering Isles questline after several in-game days.

Just Cause 2 for $5 is very tempting.

How's the PC version?
Does it support controllers?
Is it worth it at that price or not? (even though it can't possibly go any lower, I know)

-Incredible.  Much better than console versions there are tons of great mods out there.  Note: I don't think it works on Windows XP.

-Yes, perfectly.  Automatically switches button prompts, turns on rumble, etc. the instant you start using the controller.

-YES YES YES and buy the Black Market Aerial Pack DLC for 50 cents.  It has the parachute boosters, which allow for mods like superman flying.

I got Hamiton's today, on the assumption that Howard Alan Treesong knows what he's talking about.

Just Cause 2 is fucking incredible, gorgeous game. The 3D implementation is top-notch too. (am I seriously still the only Borean who uses 3D Vision? feels like it...)

I never played a Half Life game, and thanks to a few of you I have half the collection. Right now, I'm only missing the original HL2 and Ep1 from the HL2 saga, and I'm wondering if it's worth playing through the first or not (if only for... the story?)

I'm aware that this is supposed to blasphemy by gaming standards, so spare me the tomatoes.

Edit:

HL2 $2.49
EP1 $1.99

Can't go below this price, can it?

Edit2:

I also vaguely remember that the HL2 included in The Orange Box was running on an updated engine(?). I'm assuming the one being offered individually is the same.

They updated HL2 and EP1 to the latest Source engine a year ago because it was the only way to make them work on the Mac, use Steam Cloud, add achievements, etc. That's why the ones on the 360 were using the Orange Box version because that was the one they had working on the 360.

I don't think they spent much time rebuilding the levels though so there's only a few graphical changes.

Oh and I could understand if you were my age or younger but never playing any of the HL games is crazy to me.

I love NV, but both DLCs have felt lacking.  Dead Money nailed the atmosphere and story, but the gameplay was not fun; HH has nice exploration but very little story.  Waiting for a DLC that nails both.

Is Trine any good? WIll probably just get the Vegas DLC and M&B Warband

Trine is wonderfully good.   In the Top 3 XBLA/PSN games this gen for me.  It's drop dead gorgeous, has great british voice acting with a fun little story, and the gameplay has lots of great puzzles and controls very well.  Plus there's collectibles, yay.

Some people don't like physics platformers though, ymmv

Frozen Synapse is great but I'm so bad.

The blast range of a grenade is huge.  I played ~4 matches at once and two of them I lost because I underestimated the range.  The other I lost because I still haven't figured out why the enemy shoots while my guy, aiming in that direction, doesn't.  Or why my shots simply don't hit when he eventually returns fire.

Is there an iphone/pad version?


nvm, won two matches and tied another.  One of the dudes I beat was had over 20 matches, the other had only victories until me.  acceptable number of sacrifices.

I bought it on the PS3 a long time ago, but I don't remember getting far into it. though I'm not sure whether it was because of the controls or if the remake was lacking the charm of the original (the fight sequence in Elaine's mansion in particular fell flat, imo)

Thoughts?

yes, and go for L4D2.  It's only $5 (4 pack is 15 I think).

it's a co-op shooter.  you and three others fight zombies and it doesn't require precision firing or high skill to play and enjoy.  though, there is a versus/competitive mode that has player controlled zombies versus survivors.  I mean infected or whatever zombies are called in it.

and yeah, Capcom is terrible at this sales thing.  Bionic Commando bombed hard, right? it came out in 2009 and it's still $10.  Activision is more generous than that! one daily deal will be Dark Void for $15.

I don't think so. System files in NV are held in self-contained archives, separate from mod files. You may have to reinstall your OMODs though, I'm not sure on those.

I'm still having the same problem with the steam app ever since the DCharlie transaction, by the way: every time I start the app I get the gift prompt from you (I'm assuming for the very same game). When I try opening it, ignoring it or what have you, I get "this key has been revoked" etc etc. Stupid sale period craziness must have glitched the thing on me, and now I just want it to stop and don't know how! :lol

Don't forget Activision sales (at least on CoD franchise, dunno about their non-CoD sales)

EA has good sale prices though?  I dunno about bundles, but Mirrors Edge/Burnout/Dead Space are always dirt cheap.  Though this was before Origin came along and they got steam-hatin; so maybe you're right.

I'm talking specifically about their bundles. Their Sims 3 sale was the game and all the add-ons for about $82, buying them separately, or you can get the bundle for $80. :lol

Actually I just looked for their recent stuff that I care about:

Bulletstorm = 0% discount, $29.99
Crysis 2 = -10000000000000000000000000000% discount because it doesn't even exist
Shadows of the Damned = no pc version

So yeah, PC EA has been sucking lately.

Yeah the publisher catalogs are on sale.  (Except EA :derp)

One reason this sale seems relatively disappointing is because alot of people already own a good chunk of the games going on sale again.  You can only offer Lara Croft for $3.75 so many times before everyone that is interested owns it.

Is it just me or are the sales offering worse "bang for the buck" than last year? Are there still THQ, Square, Eidos packs with *all* their games including 2011 releases? id Super Pack?

Yeah.  Last year, even x-mas, most 1-2 year old quality games were $4.99.  Now they're $7.50-9.99.  Sale prices are rising!  Very few $50 games selling for $3.74 or $4.99 anymore. 

Which is a shame because that's my impulse purchase price point where I'll grab things I'm somewhat interested in.  Anything higher than $4.99 and I'm out.


Anyhow, picked up my first game of the sale with Tomb Raider Underworld for $7.50.  Yeah that's kind of a shitty price for such an old ass game that doesn't even have the endgame DLC chapters available.  But I've been wanting to play it since it's the only post-reboot TR I haven't played and I didn't want to play it at <30fps on X360.  Plus $7.50 is still less than the $20-30 they always want for it since it never goes on sale anymore.

Title: Re: The Bore Steam Thread :monocle
Post by: cool breeze on July 07, 2011, 08:01:49 PM
Capcom is just bad at this sale thing.  THQ, Eidos, 2K, Bethesda, and even Sega drop prices low to make whatever they can on old ignored games.  I'd be shocked if more than 10 people bought Bionic Commando for PC in the past year, yet Capcom's best offer is 50% off.  The game bombed so hard the developer doesn't exist anymore.  At this point they should just take whatever money they can get .

A mental barrier prevents most people from gifting or buying $10+ games on a whim.  Maybe if it had high praise.  But $7.50? maybe.  $5? sure, it looks alright -or- double dip.  <$5? I don't know what this is, I'll never play it, but fuck it, bought.

Activision's sales make more sense.  Singularity is $7.50 cuz it didn't do well, while CoD games remain high because they're still making bank.  Capcom = DARK VOID! MEGA DEAL! 50% off! $15! I'VE HEARD NOTHING BUT...well, nothing.  I'm going to buy four indie tower defense games and two eurojank instead, for the same price.

At least you only paid 12 dollars for it.  I bought it new when it came out on the 360 and I stopped playing it around the 3rd mission.  I ended up trading it in for next to nothing.

And I really wish ME2 had 360 controller support.  I never understand why that isn't just a standard practice anymore especially since there's already a UI in place for a gamepad.  Given the choice, I'd much rather play these games with a pad rather than my kb/m.

The X360 version is a piece of shit though.  Barely holds 20fps and battles take much, much longer without the turbo fast forward speed boost the PC version got.

If you have any interest at all in ever playing it, pick up the PC one.  I imported the X360 one, played 30 mins, re-bought on PC for $10.

yeah, it's Bioshock 2 did it too.  PC specific interface but you lose controller support.  On the other end, games like Alpha Protocol have busted PC controls because the interface is still meant for a 360 pad.

Deus Ex Human Revolution (not out yet) has full controller support with button prompts and everything.  But if you play it with keyboard and mouse, it dynamically adds a bar to map items the number keys, changes the hacking game for mouse interface, allows scrolling in in-game documents.  That is one of the few exceptions, partly because a separate team is working on the PC version.

I'm mostly annoyed that Mass Effect 2 DLC is only on their lame Bioware store and they never put it on sale.  Not even Origin has sales for the DLC.  At least release a GOTY edition with all the DLC packed in.
Title: Re: The Bore Steam Thread :monocle

And the lack of controller support was the reason I didn't double dip for Bioshock 2.  I can't be the only one out there that skips these games because the developers don't include a gamepad option.  To me it seems kind of ridiculous that they don't at least give us the choice, especially since there's already console versions out there.  Fuck Xpadder.  Give me proper native support.

I ended up buying Conviction again yesterday and for whatever reason it seems to better this time around than when I played last year.  Still there's some things that bug me, like how the game will fade into black and white while you're in shadow and the forced letterboxing.  I don't know which of those two irks me more.  I doubt there's mods for either of these things seeing how Ubi likes to fill each of their games with draconian DRM.

Seriously, that letterboxing is ridiculous.  There's no need for it all.
Title: Re: The Bore Steam Thread :monocle
Post by: cool breeze on July 09, 2011, 11:40:47 AM
are you playing on a 16:10 monitor?

There are a few games that letterbox to maintain the 16:9 aspect ratio.  I use a 16:10 because it's a nice balance between 16:9 and 4:3 for when I play old games.

Bullletstorm and Mirror's Edge do it too.  But Bulletstorm (or just the demo) has major frame rate problems if you don't play at a 16:9 resolution.  Not really an issue since monitors or graphics cards will scale and letterbox for you.


btw, today is most likely the last day for new sales.  The final day is usually a 'best of' day where select daily deals return.
Title: Re: The Bore Steam Thread :monocle
Post by: Hitler Stole My Potato on July 09, 2011, 11:51:24 AM
Yeah, I'm playing on 16:10 but the game lets you select the aspect ratio and it'll letterbox it regardless of what monitor you're using.
Title: Re: The Bore Steam Thread :monocle
Post by: Hitler Stole My Potato on July 09, 2011, 12:03:19 PM

duckroll gifted me Terreria  :-[

so can someone tell me what this game is about?  I hear Minecraft and then I run for the hills because I don't need a never-ending timesink addiction which is what I understand Minecraft to be.  I also hear multiplayer which is another turnoff word in my gaming world.  But then I hear metroidvania and I like those.

Sup Com 2 is a fairly standard RTS.  You get to amass some pretty big armies with it!  I have fun with the skirmish mode in the game.  Didn't really play the campaign too much.

For under 4 bucks pick it up if you are interested in RTS games.

No, I hate Minecraft and even started the Bore's official Minecraft-bashing thread. I consider Minecraft to be the enemy of all that is good and only bought Terraria because my friend kept insisting, over-and-over, that it's "not Minecraft." LIES

Blood Money is by-far the best game in the series.

Hitman 2 is great too, as is Hitman 1 (oddly, Hitman Contracts, the weakest one, isn't on steam), but Blood Money has the best mission, variety, mechanics, and everything.

If Sanctum goes on sale again I highly recommend to pick the game up.  Played it a couple hours today with a friend and it is a very interesting take on the tower defense genre.  Being able to set up defenses and then join the action in real time is awesome.

So is Garshap worth playing if you like action games?

I watched this giant bomb quick look:

http://www.giantbomb.com/quick-look-garshasp-the-monster-slayer/17-4140/

and I thought it looked pretty terrible.  It could be terribly awesome, and it is only $2.50 right now.  I have so many games to play not sure I want to waste any time on a potential bad one.
Title: Re: The Bore Steam Thread :monocle
Post by: Great Rumbler on July 09, 2011, 11:43:08 PM
Got The Last Remnant downloaded and also set up V-Sync, AA, and triple buffering in the NVidia control panel, which makes the game look great. The tearing really is pretty terrible in TLR using the vanilla graphical settings and there's no option to switch on V-Sync, which is stupid. Fortunately, getting it set up was pretty easy and the results are basically the same.

Speaking of Call of Juarez, they never put the first game on sale.  Forever it will sit, not being purchased by anyone, at $19.99.  Also, I want to buy Gun, but not at $13.39.  It was a PS2/Xbox portover.  I mean, come on.

Well, I'm pretty much done with Terraria until this fix this piece of junk. It has no autosave function, which wouldn't be too bad it it keeps crashing after about 15 minutes of play, causing me to lose all the progress I made. The only way to not lose everything is to constantly "save and quit" before it crashes.  >:(

Edit: Oh, I forgot to mention that it does save your inventory. So all the materials I used to build before the game crashed are now gone forever.

Might get DoWII Retribution since I have all the other DoW games, but I've never really had time to play any of them more than a few hours :X

People keep saying Sanctum is good.  It has nice art and is cheap, but it's TOWER DEFENSE and I hate tower defense.  Worth it?


Probably will get Whispered World and Bloodlines since they've been on my wishlist for a few years.

Ok, end tally for this light sale:

Tomb Raider Underworld $7.50
Sanctum                          $3.75
Eversion                          $2.49
The Whispered World    $10.20
Drakensang: RoT             $9.99
Vampire TM Bloodlines   $13.00
Terreria                           (GIFT)

Total                                ~$45

Knocked 3 games off my wishlist (TRU, WW, Bloodlines)

Not bad.  Sales were just ok and I think you get to a point after enough steam sales that you have almost everything you want from the store and new stuff is still too $$$.


I think I'm going to play Bloodlines as my next rpg after I finish The Witcher.  Never got a chance to play Bloodlines and I hear it's very similar to Alpha Protocol, which was one of my favorite rpgs this gen.

In the first half, yes. But in the second half, there are tons of monsters that will see through your stealth regardless.

Post by: cool breeze on July 10, 2011, 02:15:32 PM
Guns are terrible in bloodlines.  You know all those rpgs with bad stat based shooting like Deus Ex? Now imagine a world where that's considered good.   Vampire bloodlines would still have bad shooting in that world.

You need a gun maybe once and it's literally in the final few minutes.  I got through with stealth (weak) and melee (also weak); at least they're not broken.
Title: Re: The Bore Steam Thread :monocle
Post by: Bebpo on July 10, 2011, 02:18:49 PM

So I got a question about Dawn of War.  As someone that's never played any of them, would it be better to grab Dawn of War II or should I skip it and go directly to DoWII: Retribution? 

I'd grab Dawn of War 2 GOLD for only a couple bucks more. Both Retribution and Chaos Rising are standalone expansions so I'm not sure if there's any real carry over in terms of squads you've built up. I'd guess there wasn't but I just started DOW2 so I dunno.

It's also worth mentioning that unlike the other two games, Retribution doesn't use GFWL. Everything is handled by Steam so if you hate GFWL you may want to skip the first two. Personally, Ive never had any issue with GFWL beyond thinking it's a pretty pathetic service.

Thanks.  I'll grab Dawn of War II Gold then.

And with that, I think I'm done here.

Amnesia Dark Descent
Audiosurf
Beat Hazzard
Dragon Age Origin Ultimate
Just Cause 2
Prince of Persia 2008
Sam & Max Complete
Supreme Commander 2
Dawn of War II Gold
Terraria
Splinter Cell Conviction
Tropico 3

I'm not sure when I'll get around to play Tropico 3 and Terraria seems like a waste of time even for the $2.50 I spent on it.  Other than that, I'm fine.

Stealth will get you through most of the game, along with your associated vampire powers. Just be prepared to have all that cool stuff thrown out the window in the second half of the game where you have to fight huge swarms of enemies. Basically, you may be fine for the most of the game playing it like it's supposed to be played, but don't be afraid to pop in some cheats if it gets too frustrating later on.

I never played a Half Life game, and thanks to a few of you I have half the collection. Right now, I'm only missing the original HL2 and Ep1 from the HL2 saga, and I'm wondering if it's worth playing through the first or not (if only for... the story?)

I'm aware that this is supposed to blasphemy by gaming standards, so spare me the tomatoes.

Oh and I could understand if you were my age or younger but never playing any of the HL games is crazy to me.

I couldn't overcome my motion sickness from playing FPSes until recently.

Lara Croft & Guardian of Light

Torchlight
Trackmania United

I dunno if any of those are on sale but they're all usually cheap and very great games.

Hey MrBob, if I want to play a DoW game, should I start with DoWII vanilla?  Or should I install Chaos Rising to add extra stuff to DoWII (if that's how it works, not sure if it's a separate campaign or what)?  Or should I jump straight into Retribution?

That's ok dude. I'll probably get it with the remaining credits, assuming the game+DLC are worth it(?).

Lara Croft & Guardian of Light
Shatter
Trine
Torchlight
Trackmania United

I have all of those, save for Trackmania ($29.99).

I heard good things about Drakensang:  River of Time so I picked it up today.  It is $9.99 so you have enough in your wallet for it.  European RPG.   

Hey MrBob, if I want to play a DoW game, should I start with DoWII vanilla?  Or should I install Chaos Rising to add extra stuff to DoWII (if that's how it works, not sure if it's a separate campaign or what)?  Or should I jump straight into Retribution?

For the campaign you want to start with vanilla DoW2.  Chaos Rising expansion takes place right after the events of the end of the first game.  Retribution can be played as a stand alone, but I'd still finish DoW2 and Chaos Rising first.  The story in Retribution will make more sense.

Now for The Last Stand game mode (which rocks), it doesn't matter which version you load into.  You just choose one of 5 generals and try to survive!  I'm always up for playing TLS online so hit me up if you want to play.  I can also help with the campaign too if you want it.  All 3 games support online co op for it.

Played through Eversion.  That was really really short (like 20 min game) though if you want to get all the gems and unlock the hidden world and get the secret ending that'll add another hour or so (I just youtube'd at that point; not a forced collect-a-thon fan).  It was sort of interesting, but even at $2.50 it felt like a bit of a ripoff for being that short.  Most freeware games are longer!

bought the Meridian 4 Adventure Pack. Contains all the adventure games I wanted from this sale and one more. Actually not much of a price difference had I bought the games individually -- I think I saved about 50 pence

My final haul:

(Meridian 4 Adventure Pack) Nikopol: Secrets of the Immortals, Scratches - Director's Cut, Still Life, Still Life 2, Syberia, Syberia II
Frozen Synapse
King Arthur Collection
Men of War Assault Squad
Civ 5 (off gamersgate :teehee)
Two Worlds 2
Call of Juarez The Cartel (off the Hut; Steamworks so it counts)

I played a little bit of King Arthur. I didn't realize it was going to be a Total War type RTS game. It does have some RPG elements but i've never really been to fond of those kind of games.


edit: added a little bunch of games since they are cheap:

Everyday Shooter
The Final Hours of Portal 2
I-Fluid
Sanctum

Dungeons of Dredmor seems like it's a pretty well put together rogue-like so far. It's more like Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup than the more intricate Dwarf Fortress or Angband. Seems worth it for those that are into the genre.

Any comments on those from anyone? I know they're only $3 but was wondering if they were actually any good.

Been playing some Sanctum single-player during downtime waiting for this weekend when I can play it with some friends who picked it up. Pretty fun, somewhat like Monday Night Combat without the other team in terms of how it "feels." Curious to see how it plays in co-op, if you share resources, etc. Love being able to teleport back from the frontlines to clean up whatever my towers missed. Some of the enemy types are well done in that it helps if you play both FPS and Tower Defense with them due to their specific weaknesses.

Of course I'm a sucker for tower defense however it's offered.

Yep.  There are some things I don't like, such as having to turn off smoothing every time, slightly clunky UI, lewt that doesn't show up on your character, etc.  But for $5 it is really great.  The perk system is especially awesome.
Title: Re: The Bore Steam Thread :monocle
Post by: pilonv1 on July 14, 2011, 07:31:42 PM
no diagonal movement
no moving into enemy to auto attack
no automatic item stacking

But everything else is fantastic, especially the music. For $5 everyone should own this. I wish I'd not bought anything during the sale now because I can imagine only playing this.

You guys have proved time and time again that you're the best. I literally don't for anyone who doesn't contribute to this thread (especially demi :shh).

Wait until next week when they release the patch to play it.

The following bugs have been fixed:
- Fixed: Anvils of Krong spawning in hallways for no good reason
- Fixed: crash that occurred when moving up stairs or down stairs, randomly
- Fixed: Knightly Leap now covers the full span of Knight Movements.
- Fixed: shopkeepers doing odd things when picking up and dropping items after load/save
- Fixed: crash when using invalid missile sprites
- Fixed: merchandise not cleared when you go downstairs
- Fixed: backwards conditional logic on ranged monster attacks means that monsters were not consistently casting spells; fixing this makes the Dungeon 95.2% nastier.
- Fixed: Current Active Skill crossing over between new games
- Fixed: the bug with save games overwriting themselves if you have two characters with kind of the same name.

And the following new things shalt be added:

- Key binding interface.
- Automatic Saves in the Case of Crashes.
- Changes to how Permadeath works. We’ll now delete the file when you actually die.
- Auto-loot toggle.
- SHIFT-Click and Click Reversal Button. (Makes SHIFT-Click work like CLICK! Makes CLICK work like SHIFT-Click!)
- Rapid selling of items in the store, yea, by holding the SHIFT-Click button and smacking the inventory while standing in a shop.
- Fifty New Achievements
- Steam Overlay Support, yea, though it is Experimental and Requires your Graphics Card To Support OpenGL
- In-game Leaderboards, Yea, For Messing With Your Friends
- Steak Grilling
- Magnification of UI elements to TWICE their Size (Yea, Though We Know Not How Far We Can Get With This In The Allotted Time, Though We Are Working On It)

yeah, patch 7.6B works like a charm, then go into the extras folder and run the respatch.exe to set widescreen res

good game, impressed with the writing and voice acting so far

Shutting the Evilbore Steam Group down in 60 days, spread the word around.  Join the new Official The Bore Steam Group:

You can't just rename the group? That's sucky

no, they won't let you rename :(

Writing, voice-acting, role-playing, and atmosphere are absolutely top-notch, but it's just painfully obvious that the team didn't have enough time, money, or skill with 3D graphics to build a proper game around all that. It still make me sad to think about what 8-10 more months, a few more million dollars, and some experienced programmers could have produced.

$5 sounds about right for something I'll likely have to spend ages patching to get it playable.

It's not too bad, there's just one patch you need if you have the Steam version:

Dino D-Day isn't that great at all.

It seems like a shoddy DoD mod, half the guns make the same sound. I'm not sure if I played on the same map over and over or if they're all the same and I didn't explore enough.

Although to be fair, I could only find deathmatch servers and played for like a half hour or so. It seemed like one of those ideas that could be great if Valve or someone like that took the time to balance and examine everything. Surprised they sold it at the price they did before.

Sorta like Black Ops free weekend a while back. Just blah.

I liked VVVVVV a lot more.  The entire retro style is awesome and actually works (many games try, few pull it off); great music and graphics.  The challenge feels equal parts puzzle and skill; each screen is satisfying to clear and never got frustrating.  I like the Metroid-lite world map.  The core flip mechanic is really well thought out and every new dungeon/level specific mechanic immediately clicks.  No bosses or real sour spots.  Just a really well designed and fun game.

The only part that got annoying was the yellow guy following you part and it lasted less than five minutes.   

If/when this gets steam achievements and completing "No death mode" is one of them, I wonder how many people can get it.  I died hundreds of times.

The patches, unfortunately, don't really address the fundamental problems with the game. Most likely it's because the community is only attacking the surface problems since they don't have access to the actual game code.

Maybe some day someone will make the game from the ground up and just import the voice files, but that hasn't happened yet.

more fitting here than the what you playing thread, but check out The Stanley Parable:  http://www.moddb.com/mods/the-stanley-parable

It's a neat mod that, at most, takes 30 minutes to fully complete.  It is best to play without knowing much about it.  If it had a genre, it would be ludology wankery.

I believe the Source SDK is free to everyone now, so technically, anyone should be able to play it.

The controls are kind of slow and clunky, and the guns have a really odd feel about them. The objectives in each sessions are...weak? Not sure quite how to put it, but it just doesn't feel like there's any real point to them. The levels are way too big as well, you spend half your time running to where everyone else is and then die in two seconds when you finally do.

I don't know how anyone thought anything in brink was a good idea.

I think it's the opposite.  A lot of the ideas in Brink are pretty smart, but it's all rubbish in execution.  Individual objectives for different classes, the SMART movement stuff, how character customization works with body types, blending single and multiplayer, dynamically changing classes mid-game, systems to promote team play, etc.  That all would be great if it didn't suck.

I remember watching dev diaries and they're like: We hate in FPS games when you get stuck on the environment.  Fuck those games.  With SMOOTH MOVEMENT OVER RANDOM TERRAIN, or SMART, you just hold the button and you will dynamically get to where you need to go.

Actually playing the game game: get stuck on environment

Dev diary: We made it so every class is crucial to the battle and has their own objectives.

Playing:  Defend VIP.  switch to engineer.  Defend VIP.  switch to medic.  Defend VIP.  switch to soldier.  Defend VIP.

I agree with this. The map and objective design isn't all that well done either from the few I've played this weekend. It's fairly easy to get lost in a bunch of seemingly repeating visual areas (especially when you follow an icon just to find it's on the other side of the wall but you have to circle all the way around the map and go to a different level and back down, etc.) and it's lots of attack/defend or escorting.

And "F" for everything?

Post by: benjipwns on August 07, 2011, 05:49:16 AM
Nobody cares but I played a good amount more, trying to get as much free weekend out of it, did the challenges and unlocked tons of stuff.

It does get better once you start upgrading your weapons and stuff. The defaults are pretty crappy compared to what you can use after a couple hours. SMART is great when you can figure out where and when to use it. Scaling a ton of crap up out of nowhere to drop behind an entire team is fun. Too bad only like 10% of the map area is built for using it in a fun way.

Still has way too many flaws as everybody noted, even ones Quake Wars didn't have. Online is really hard to judge since people are just hopping onto any server they can find and lag is way up there. Seems unbalanced towards higher level players though especially since free weekenders aren't knowing the maps/objectives/etc.

No ability to filter out full servers. :lol

Couldn't get co-op to work at all this weekend, tried with three different people. Probably should have looked up ports but whatever.

Depending on what and how they add new content from here, might pick it up at $5 or so.

I'm playing Magicka for the first time since I purchased it, and while it has many niggling issues, I'm blown away by the magic conjuring mechanics...

- There are 8 elements
- You can combine 5 spells
- It can be released as direct spells, area, on self, or infused with weapons. Not to mention the shield spell which can work with any combination then released ALSO as direct, area, self, or weapons.
- And finally we have the special "Magick" spells.

Sheer lunacy I tell you.

I was expecting it to be something, but it turned out to be entirely different, but in a good way. I was ready to hate it for not having loot.

By the way, does disabling v-sync from the card's control panel override all game settings universally?

Magicka seems to be poorly optimized, has a stutter-y framerate even on 720. Enabling triple buffering helps a lot but the stuttering is still noticeable. People are saying the game is forcing V-sync on with no in-game option to disable it or any config.ini files to edit. Turning off v-sync from my card's control panel + enabling triple buffering seems to solve the problem, so I'm wondering if it'll work for every other similar game, and saves me the trouble of tweaking graphic options/config.ini files every time.

Thoughts?

Remember those two HL3 protesters in fron of Valve HQ?

Quote
Owen has been talking to Gabe Newell at Gamescom about a recent incident at Valve HQ, where two protesters turned up with cardboard signs asking for more news on Half Life 2: Episode 3. Newell went out to meet the protesters, gave them pizza and soda, and then invited them in for a tour of the studio. They ended up sitting down to test Dota 2 and didn’t leave until two days later.

I always wanted to try those games on the PS3, but I skipped it since I don't have a stick for that system. Now I'll wait for them to become part of some indie bundle or something so I can get them all for a dollar. 8)

Quote
Five years ago, a witch's curse beneath the red moon turned Chante into a fairy. Now she and her sister Elise search for a way to transform her back into a human, and in their travels they come across a particular town, which is home to a number of nearby ruins, as well as a peculiar shopkeeper named Aira, and a strange, mercurial fortune-teller who calls herself Elma. Could this place hold the key to returning Chante to normal? Or will it lead to more answers than our two sisters ever wanted to know?...

Could some one in the U.S. or U.K. try to enter an invalid steam activation code and show me the examples they give on how a key should look like.  I ask because I just bought a keycode and it follows non of the three formats they list as examples of a valid key.

GetGamesGo sounds fishy enough.

Most of these Steam key-resellers buy games from Russian where they cost around $20. I think Steam has caught on though, and will block you from registering said keys unless you're in Russia. You can try a Russian VPN, or just get your money back. Or do this...

Hot Pursuit is amazing.  I've been playing the PS3 version for months and I still haven't beat it or gotten bored of it.  The campaign is like 30 hours and because the island is big with varied scenery, weather, and time of day, and different modes you're always doing something a bit different.

Probably my 4th favorite racer after Burnout Paradise, Wipeout HD, and PGR4 this gen.  Definitely recommended.

Would get the superior PC version but fuckkk I'm not restarting this campaign after logging so many hours in already.

Civ V has some strange issues from time to time. Textures like to disappear, randomly takes a long time to process a turn while others fly by, units won't let anyone know they need orders, etc.

I'm trying to remember if Civ IV was like this for the first year, I think it was. I know Civ III was. To be fair, it wasn't until BTS that Civ IV could even be thought of as having overtaken Civ II for me. (Could still debate.)

And what is the deal with this AI. We're all buddy buddy and then BAM WE'RE GOING TO WAR, CHECK OUT ALL THESE UNITS I JUST MOVED TO YOUR BORDER. I heard about the AI but I didn't think it was like this. (I assumed more like MGE where they're just assholes but you can buy them off.) Though I do like the ability to bombard with the cities. These groups of Greek archers were attacking me but I had had beelined for gunpowder after my other BFF the Aztecs went to war a century earlier. So Greece declares, I switch everything to produce gunpowder units, as they get close to the farthest city I hit them every turn I can and have my few units about harass. They get next to the city and bam Musketmen finished, broke two of the invaders units, and I had some Knights swarm the others. They fled back across the border and Alexander wanted peace for just 10 Gold. :lol

Game seems to give a lot more gold than Civ IV. Although I am just playing on a lower difficulty to figure out the changes first.

I got a deal on some extra RAM the other day that's on the way, maybe that can clean up some of the turn stuff. I know Civ IV really enjoyed getting more RAM, even more than when I went from a P4 to Core2Duo.

Also. There's something unsettling about achievements and Civ.
Title: Re: The Bore Steam Thread :monocle
Post by: Brehvolution on September 09, 2011, 09:54:06 AM
Check your auto save in Civ V. I think it's set to 10 by default. Every 10 turns it will save the game. I'm pretty sure that is why those turns are longer than the others. I only encounter eradic AI at the harder difficulties.

I was interested in that but reading about it you don't build cities.  The cities already exist and you just build the transportation lines (cars, subways, monorails) and see how the traffic goes.

Sounds kind of interesting and really freaking boring at the same time.

Yeah, Red Dead Redemption has more in common with GUN than Red Dead Revolver. It was fun, but it doesn't hold up. If you have played Redemption, GUN's entire old west world will feel about as big as your backyard.

Whats the deal with these CD key sites. One has Black ops for $16 but I they need to activate it on steam with a Russian VPN. That price is good but that seems shady as fuck.

They're Russian keys, games are really cheap there.

6VZ5Q-4DZ0K-4T0AX

Thank ya! I'm downloading it now.

EDIT:
Gotham City Impostors Beta Begins October 5
The closed, PC-only beta will last just five days.


Beta testers have just been informed by email the schedule for the upcoming PC beta of Gotham City Impostors.

Steam codes have been emailed out to those who were accepted today, and although the client can be downloaded now, the beta itself won't begin until next week -- and even then, it will only be available at select times.

The beta will be playable nightly beginning Wednesday, October 5. It'll last only until October 9, and is playable from 7PM - 12AM Eastern for those five days. As it's a closed beta, testers won't be free to share information about the game.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

So uh, basically I'll be sure to let you know how much it sucks because NDAs are for pussies.

If it wasn't tower defense it'd be super fun awesome dungeon keeper/deception in 3rd person cam + shooter elements.

But then the waves come and come and come :|


Still might get it when it's cheap and give it a shot.  Demo was fun enough and it maybe be whimsy enough to overcome my great detest for the tower defense genre.

$100? a metric fuckton. Probably won't be many Q4 releases but you should get some great deals on other 2011 games. Isn't there a site that lists previous Steam sales?
Title: Re: The Bore Steam Thread :monocle
Post by: benjipwns on October 17, 2011, 11:55:27 PM
Last year I spent $108 and got about 45 games and a few DLCs. Throw in Black Friday and I got like 18 games for $20 too.

Year before I spent $80 and got 25-30 some. (Seven regular games plus whatever was in the Eidos Pack at the time, Batman, Mini Ninjas, Deus Ex, all the Hitman games, etc.)
Title: Re: The Bore Steam Thread :monocle
Post by: Cormacaroni on October 18, 2011, 02:28:25 AM
I have a pretty stupid question about the holiday sale, so please humor me.

How much gaming can one expect to get for around $100? I understand this will vary depending on what type of games you like to play but i'm just looking for ball park estimations. There's no way I can afford to get all the new releases next month so I plan to fill the void with older, cheap games from steam.

You can expect something from me too :) Keep your Wish List current!

released november 15th.

and it looks like it may be steamworks? doesn't show GFWL at all and it has STEAM acheivements...

also it's 39.99 if you own Arkham Asylum or Lego Batman on STEAM

Although, maybe they're removing GFWL and that was the reason it was delayed. Or maybe not. Dawn of War II was Steamworks and GFWL, so it's not unprecedented.

Duke Nukem is allllright for a C-tier generic shooter.  Some of the combat is really good as you die super fast so you actually need to play a little smart.  The level design is always junk, but there's lots of "duke lines" being shouted around.

I dunno, there are worse things to use your time on.

If you don't own it, you should pick it up for $2.50 on Sunday.  Excellent puzzle game with a nice Indiana Jones theme and very polished nice graphics & music.  This & Orcs Must Die have been great $3-4 buys.  Probably better than a lot of the $30-40 games I've picked up this BF :|

How long and amazing is the DLC of Deus Ex?

it's pretty long, 5 hours at least unless you run n gun on an easy difficulty.  the new maps are solid and great-looking; just as good as the main game's maps.  there's tons of enemies in them too, so i found it to be more difficult than the main quest.  just like the full game there's opportunities to use each one of your powers so you can replay it and try different stuff (and you'll need to to get all the cheevs), and there's a lot of dialog in the game that changes depending on what your actions.   the plot contains a bunch of stuff that should have been in the game in the first place, as it deals with a lot of the stuff that seemed to randomly come out of nowhere in the original's endgame.  the downsides are that you can incorporate the dlc into the main game on replays, and that there's some short backtracking later on that is there for no other reason but to pad out game length.  still, the expansion is quality and a must-play if you loved the full game.

Non-daily deal cheap grabs I'm picking up:

Rock of Ages = $5
Dungeons of Dredmor $2.50


Wish Driver was cheaper.  I love arcade racers and now that I've finished up Hot Pursuit I think I've finished every one this gen besides Motorstorm 3 (which is STILL $60 WTF; not one sale during BF) and I hear the new Driver is quite good.  Will wait until another sale or two.

I mostly survived this sale up until  Dead Space 2 was $5. I really wanted to pick up LA Noir but I'll hold off on that until probably the Holiday sale next month.

Red Faction Armageddon is $7.50 on impulse and is steamworks (or so it says):  http://impulsedriven.com/rfarmageddon

current Steam deal price is $17

I'm still passing because I've heard bad things

edit:  nvm, it isn't list as a steam retail CD key.  so I don't know if it will register.

Brink free weekend again as well. Plus can get it and all of the single DLC for $6 if you're into that kind of thing.

And the Official Strategy Guide is ONLY $5!
Title: Re: The Bore Steam Thread :monocle
Post by: benjipwns on December 01, 2011, 10:42:34 PM
Yeah, I'd be tempted to bite at $5 if there were twice as many maps. Those two DLC maps need to be rolled into the base game like UT3 did at minimum and even that only gives the game like what seven maps.

I guess the SDK/Map Editor has even been unofficially cancelled, in either case it's not coming. Bethesda apparently put the kibosh on that.

The Doom 3 source is out now and maybe when the rest of id Tech 4 comes out somebody will make one.

I was pretty hyped for Brink, but it was just so, so boring. I think Splash Damage just got in way over the head and had no idea how to pull the overall package together, leaving a few dangling elements of greatness that amounted to not a whole lot in the end.

Post by: benjipwns on December 02, 2011, 04:25:29 PM
There's something about Brink, I gladly play it for quite a bit for free for some reason. It's like it's halfway to good in enough areas. When you do get a game that works with people playing roles and using the maps, you can see how they intended it to be. When you find those spots to bound over and around the map and come up behind everyone that's just great. And the medic works alright, I like playing medic in games.

They should hunker down for a few months, make gobs of cosmetic items plus a few more maps and as Green Man said, go F2P. Actually, take six months, you need to add females for it to really take off.

It's a cool srpg.  They've made 3 games and that's the first.  They're all in my backlog but I played a little of the first and its neat stuff.  The graphics/art are really nice and colorful and the writing isn't bad.  I hear the gameplay is like Heroes of Might and Magic III, but I never played those games.

I actually don't know where my free copy came from.  I booted up steam one day and under my giftable games it was there.  I asked around and no one knew where it came from.  lol.  At least I finally got a use out of it!  I would have gifted you Dawn of War II which I've had sitting in giftable for a year+ but I'm pretty sure, like me, you don't play RTS games and wouldn't play it.

Sure, they'll give them 25%-33% max.  IF you get a daily deal it will be 50%, but that's a huge if.

You'll never see a 75% on a Capcom game.  And on top of that the prices are already too high so even a 50% discount is too much.

Post by: Great Rumbler on December 16, 2011, 02:01:37 PM
Witcher 1 with all the various patches [including the patch to add back in all that awesome nudity] is pretty great. Combat's a little wonky, the first few hours are a bit flat, and it drags a bit at times, but it's still a high quality WRPG with a lot of moral choices that are fairly murky [rather than Bioware's standard black and white].

Saints Row 3 is $30 on Amazon with steam activation now.  Wonder if it'll be cheaper in the steam sale. 

Either way looks like I didn't have to wait long to get my Saints Row on.

And it's gone up to $37 to match price with the steam sale :(

Waiting for steam sale was a bad idea in this case.  Seems like $30 was a mistake price.

Is there an easy way to backup Steam games to an external hard drive? I'm really running out of space on my primary, plus I was thinking of getting an SSD for main business and using my current 1 tera drive as a place to dump games.

Just find the game folders you want to back up and copy them over. It's that easy.

You can't actually PLAY them from anywhere other than the Steam folder, though.

what about saves? a lot seem to move to my documents or other places

I just checked and Steam folder is about 430 gigs.  EA/Origin folder is 35.  There are few others scattered about.

you want the free Steam Mover prog. Very very handy. The only prob is Steam STILL forces the initial DL to your primary OS drive, so to this day I still haven't installed shit like RAGE (20gb or so DL....). If anyone has a workaround for that other than you know, deleting the Windows directory, please let me know.

Only if you installed Steam on your primary OS driver. I've got Steam on my secondary drive and every game I download goes directly there.

Witcher is $2.50. Go for it or hold off and play the sequel instead?
Title: Re: The Bore Steam Thread :monocle
Post by: Steve Youngblood on December 21, 2011, 03:25:34 PM
For $2.50? I'd say yes. But I guess it depends on how much free time you have and whether or not you intend to play through multiple long, Western RPGs. If you've only got the time for one, and this will be just another game sitting there sad and alone in your Library, waiting for the day that will never come to be installed and enjoyed, then it might be a waste of $2.50.

Or, put another way, if time is more a concern than money, I might just jump right into Witcher 2. It's the better, more polished experience in my book. But 1 is definitely solid and worth playing.
Title: Re: The Bore Steam Thread :monocle
Post by: Great Rumbler on December 21, 2011, 03:28:01 PM
The original Witcher is still a great game, don't pass it up.
Title: Re: The Bore Steam Thread :monocle
Post by: Bebpo on December 21, 2011, 03:29:31 PM
It's long, like 40-50 hours long.  There is no quick travel.  Lots of running around doing errands like a wrpg without quick travel.


It's really quite good, but you gotta be prepared.


Also, I wouldn't play 2 without playing 1 since 2 builds on the first game.

The details are fascinating, I promise.

Anyway, back to the Witcher, it's a moot point since you already ponied up the big cash for it, but one thing of note is that -- and I could be alone in this -- I'm pretty sure that The Witcher 2 actually runs better than its predecessor on my PC. So, that would have been one more point in favor of skipping right to two. Nevertheless, I would agree that it's probably better to play the first anyway. Enjoy.
Title: Re: The Bore Steam Thread :monocle
Post by: Bebpo on December 21, 2011, 05:49:56 PM
I'm still in the middle of the first one, about 25 hours in, early on in Chapter 4.  Chapter 1 is the biggest drag and the swamp sections later on suck too, but everything else has been great.  Chapter 1 has some good stuff, it's just way too much running back and forth.
Title: Re: The Bore Steam Thread :monocle
Post by: Steve Youngblood on December 21, 2011, 05:56:24 PM
That sounds about right. If memory serves -- and it may not since it's been a while -- but I remember really liking the fourth chapter. That's where you get moved to a completely different location, right?
Title: Re: The Bore Steam Thread :monocle
Post by: Bebpo on December 21, 2011, 05:58:38 PM
Yep.  I would've kept playing but got distracted for a few months.  At least I wasn't mid-quest or anything so it'll be easy to go back to.  Just wandering around some fields in a new location.

Witcher 1 is on sale ALL THE TIME btw. This is important to realize about Steam. Unless you are planning on playing it inside the next few months, just hold off. It'll be on sale again.

Then again, you can't even buy one of your fancy beers for $2.50.

Kind of tempted, given the inclusion of Tokyo, and the ridiculous sale price.

I'm going to jump in when I get home. Not with the DLC though. Been playing Sim City HD on iPad and am desperate for some new city management stuff.

Probably won't get to play it tonight though.

Yeah, I've heard it's a good game and I'm sure it's worth $20 if you're a strategy fan.  Just seems a little strange it's priced so high considering the age.  Since it's one of the first Microsoft published games on steam I'm wondering if they're going to be bringing their games at premium pricing.  Will be curious to see Alan Wake's price.  Probably $40?  I'm gonna hold off on playing any further on the X360 version and play it on PC.

Xseed is soon to be a publisher on Steam (as in tomorrow) :rock

Xseed published Falcom's games for PSP.  Most Falcom games are originally PC games, except Ys 7 that is or will soon be a PC game in China.

According to sources, the company has been working on a hardware spec and associated software which would make up the backbone of a "Steam Box." The actual devices may be made by a variety of partners, and the software would be readily available to any company that wants to get in the game.

Adding fuel to that fire is a rumor that the Alienware X51 may have been designed with an early spec of the system in mind, and will be retroactively upgradable to the software.

Apparently meetings were held during CES to demo a hand-built version of the device to potential partners. We're told that the basic specs of the Steam Box include a Core i7 CPU, 8GB of RAM, and an NVIDIA GPU. The devices will be able to run any standard PC titles, and will also allow for rival gaming services (like EA's Origin) to be loaded up.

Part of the goal of establishing a baseline for hardware, we're told, is that it will give developers a clear lifecycle for their products, with changes possibly coming every three to four years. Additionally, there won't be a required devkit, and there will be no licensing fees to create software for the platform.

Oath in Felghana (basically, ever Ys game but 1, 2 and both versions of 4) has you actually swinging the sword. There's something to be said of just mindlessly running into enemies and kicking their asses though... Oath in Felghana on Steam is awesome, hopefully we will one day see Ys Origin and the Tits games on there too.

XSEED Games to Start Publishing on Steam

First two titles to be Ys: The Oath in Felghana and Ys Origin from developer Nihon Falcom

Torrance, Calif., (March 13, 2012) – XSEED Games, an independent-minded publisher, is proud to announce that they will be bringing Ys: The Oath in Felghana and Ys Origin, both from acclaimed Japanese developer Nihon Falcom, to PC on Steam. Ys: The Oath in Felghana will launch on 3/19 at a price of $14.99. More details on the launch of Ys Origin will be provided at a later time.

“People have been asking for Falcom’s great catalog of PC games to be officially made available in English for a long time,” said Jun Iwasaki, President of XSEED Games. “To start our new publishing arrangement on Steam with two standout entries from Falcom’s action-based Ys series, one of which has never been made available in English before, is an ideal situation for us, and we are excited about the future possibilities.”

Ys: The Oath in Felghana & Ys Origin
XSEED Games delighted RPG fans in 2010 and 2011 when the company published several Ys titles from legendary RPG developer Nihon Falcom to the PSP® (PlayStation®Portable) system, and now Ys fans can celebrate once more as two of the series’ most revered titles, Ys: The Oath in Felghana and Ys Origin, are heading to PC as digital downloads via Steam.

Ys: The Oath in Felghana is an action RPG driven by fast-paced combat and paired with an intricate puzzle-filled world, and an enhanced port for the PSP system garnered many accolades when published by XSEED in 2010. This Steam release is true to the original Japanese PC release from 2005, but with added Steamworks features such as Steam Achievements and Steam Cloud support. The game follows the ongoing adventures of series hero Adol Christin and his trusty companion Dogi.

Conversely, Ys Origin serves as a prequel to the original Ys, and is the first Ys title not to feature Adol Christin or Dogi. This will mark the first time that the game, originally released in Japan for PC in 2006, will be officially released in English. Set 700 years before the first title in the Ys series, the game’s story focuses on the twin Goddesses and the mysterious Black Pearl made famous in Ys I & II, and follows the adventures of several playable characters as they ascend the menacing Darm Tower.

They're decent action-RPGs with lots of loot to grab and enemies to kill. Nothing really exceptional, but worth playing if you don't have anything currently waiting in your backlog.

2 and 3 are decent, anyway, I never could get into the first game.

I bought Dustforce.  Seems cool but too many buttons to remember on the keyboard.  How do you get a X360 controller working with this?  Do you need to remap each button/analog one by one?  Also is there an order you are supposed to approach the worlds in?  As in a proper difficulty curve?

otoh I listened to the whole ost last night while watching some porn, excellent, excellent soundtrack.  Will be listening to this for a while.  Totally captures that chiptune feel and is nicely original in its compositions.

I got through the whole game with a keyboard ( :punch) so I'm not sure about gamepad stuffs.

As for the levels, just follow the path starting at the tutorial. There are books in each area of the hub that list all the levels in order of difficulty. The controls might take an hour or two to get used to so just practice in the first couple of levels and try to get dem SS rankings. It'll click eventually.

Title: Re: The Bore Steam Thread :monocle
Post by: Joe Molotov on May 02, 2012, 08:22:20 PM
Someone posted this button mapping scheme on GAF. I haven't tried it yet, so YMMV.

Quote
Recommended Xbox 360 controller button layout:

A: Jump/Confirm
B: Heavy Attack/Cancel
X: Dash
Y: Light Attack

Start: Quick Restart

Movement: Analog or D-Pad

This way you can use "A" to accept/confirm and "B" to cancel while navigating menus. Setting "Start" to quick restart will allow you to bring up the menu with the start button while in-game.

Mapping attack to "B" and "Y" allows you to easily press both buttons to initiate your AOE attack. Heavy attack on "B" keeps it close to jump so you can one-shot mid-air enemies for faster times.

"X" as Dash keeps it simple by mapping everything to the face buttons and it tends to work better since you will be tapping dash a lot to get good times.

the fault isn't inherent to the product. especially not this product since the issue is very obscure. i understand you're angry because something you bought doesnt work but blaming steam is faulty logic. they didn't make the game. the error has nothing to do with steam. there's no way steam is going to add a warning to the product because a very minute % of users may possibly have this issue.

now them not giving you a refund? I get being mad about that.

Post by: Himu on June 24, 2012, 10:41:56 AM
Eh, I did the first mission. I've restarted on hard mode because normal seems a bit easy.

I'm ashamed to say I've never played Deus Ex. I got HR and GOTY DX OG. I tried out DX while HR was downloading and good god is that game bad. Well, bad isn't a word, because the basic principles are all ironed out in HR, but fuck, is it DATED. I usually don't say that about pc games made around that era. I think a lot of pc games from that era have aged like wine, but goddamn, Deus Ex isn't one of them, and I'm not even talking about the shitty graphics and presentation, though that is definitely a part of it the lack of appeal as well and I'm far from a graphics whore.

ZOOM INTO CHARACTER'S EYE TO SHOW CINEMATIC STORYLINE DIRECTION IN CUTSCENE. EYE IS JUST A BLOCK RED PIXEL. But the tone is something that they desperately want you to take seriously. I was laughing my butt off at the shitty presentation. Metal Gear Solid for psx has better presentation. And this came out in 2000? Final Fantasy VII almost has better graphics. Well, it DOES, in battle. Thankfully it only cost 2 bucks.

Post by: Himu on June 24, 2012, 10:48:05 AM
Sorry. Game is shit.

I fail to see how anyone with taste liked the game in 2000 or 2001 when it came out.

Fuck that wank fest. Give me BG2 any day every day over that clusterfuck. Thankfully we are in the future, a future where Deus Ex does not suck balls.

Post by: MrAngryFace on June 24, 2012, 10:54:58 AM
I didn't like Deus Ex 3, BUT, most of that is on me. I GENERALLY dont like stealth games- and this game just cant be much of anything else. The boss fights are fucked- everyone admits that; even the devs. The game nails the atmosphere, one that up until last year wasn't explored much. I think its a remarkable game, but that doesn't really make it fun for me- it just gets my respect.

That is the one compliment I can give it: its vast scope. I can see what they were going for, but HR seems to have achieved everything they tried to do in that game.

Shooting sucks until much later in the game when you have updated your augmentations and weapons. As grumbler said, you're doing it wrong.

And regarding the original, go stand in the corner with Tom Chick. It still holds up today, especially if you install the new texture mod :bow2

I'm not doing it wrong. I got Ghost on my first mission! I'm mostly talking about the controls, not the shooting itself. Like the fact you have to press left or right to shoot around corners, or the shift from first to third person.

It does not launch, it says its already running. Common mistake if you look at the boards, but no solution. Steam doesn't want to refund me for this or COH.

I wonder how many times I will have to reopen the ticket, but I will keep at it, at some point they must budge.

Post by: Himu on June 25, 2012, 04:06:00 PM
talk to thq about coh. why are you asking steam for a code? go to thq customer service. as for dx, i dled the game and couldn't get past a load menu when starting a new game, so I quit, restarted steam, and then the game started to dl the latest patch, and afterwards all problems were gone. Make sure the game is fully patched even if steam doesn't automatically do it for you.

LA Noire for 6 bucks?

$5.74 for the Complete Edition which is the game plus all the DLC

LA Noire is only $3.74 here.

edit: looks like that's just the base game. complete is $15, but DLC is $5. So that makes no sense.

I got into DotA2, installed it.

There are 81 heroes I can choose from? They all have different skills and I don't know what they do.

There's no tutorial or way to learn about the game before jumping online. I don't even know what DOTA is (a game where people run down lanes at each other?)

This is harsh.

it's like tower defense i think. you need to destroy your enemies base or whatever. each side spawns AI dudes who are always going down lanes automatically towards each other. you gotta use powers and stuff to defend/attack.

or i could be all wrong. who knows.

Max Payne 3 - 50% off / $25 or $30, depending (don't know if this registers on steam)
Spec Ops the Line - 50% off (same as above)

Title: Re: The Bore Steam Thread :monocle
Post by: benjipwns on June 29, 2012, 11:33:01 AM
I never played the original, just Company of Heroes and it's similar in a lot of ways to that. The differences are mainly that you pick a commander and they have different abilities (like long range guy vs. melee, etc.) and you don't really do much base building more about front-lines stuff. You basically have like a main HQ and that's about it IIRC.

Last time I played the MP it was three on three, capturing points like in CoH, with each person being one of the different commanders.

Haven't played too much of it though.

it takes their RTS gameplay elements (cover, specific 'powers' like grenades and rockets, suppressing fire, etc) in a diablo like game where you only control two squads of dudes and move them around a map to complete a goal. there's also loot.

Just guessing:

Witcher 2: 50-66% off ($13-20)
Skyrim: 33-50% off ($30-40)
Saints Row 3: 50-66% off ($18-25)
Lara Croft: 75% off ($3.75)
Ys: 50% off ($7.50/each)
Quantum Connundrum: 25-33% off at best.  Since it's so new it might not even go on sale.  ($10-13.50)
Civ5: 25% off at best, might not even go on sale. ($22.50)
Grimrock: 50% off ($7.50)

So you're looking at $120 to $150 total.
Title: Re: The Bore Steam Thread :monocle

so i bought the quantum conundrum thing because i remember seeing the video and it was awesome, but the chances of me having time to play it are pretty much nil.

oh, how i hate you gabe. :/

Civ5: 25% off at best, might not even go on sale. ($22.50)

Was 50% off recently and 66% last sale I think, the main game will probably get a good discount. Saints Row had 50%+ recently too I thought.

Greenmangaming is 25% off everything at the moment too if you're desperate himu

edit: Civ 5 already 50% off at GMG. Add another 25% off that, you'd be looking at ~$12 for it.
Title: Re: The Bore Steam Thread :monocle

You guys reckon the games in the indie packs will be individually discounted as well? As in 75% off or something, like a daily. I already own/have played one or two or three games in every pack so bundled together they don't seem like such great deals.

bundles are not the joy of the summer sale. it's the daily deals that get me all hot and bothered.

what i REALLY want is Endless Space. Hope for 30% or a daily deal.

What is Steam Greenlight?
Steam Greenlight is a new system that enlists the community's help in picking some of the next games to be released on Steam. Developers post information, screenshots, and videos for their game and seek a critical mass of community support in order to get selected for distribution. Steam Greenlight also helps developers get feedback from potential customers and start creating an active community around their game as early in the development process as they like.

Why hasn't it always worked this way?
Over the many years that Steam has been selling games, the release rate of games on Steam has continued to grow significantly. But given Steam's existing technological pipeline for releasing games, there's always been a reliance on a group of people to make tough choices on which games to not release on Steam. There are titles that have tied up this internal greenlight group in the past, and we knew there had to be a better way.

With the introduction of the Steam Workshop in October 2011, Steam established a flexible system within Steam that organizes content and lets customers rate and leave feedback. This opened up a new opportunity to enlist the community's help as we grow Steam and, hopefully, increase the volume and quality of creative submissions.

We know there is still a lot of room for improvement in making Steam distribution easier and faster; this is just a first step in that direction.

How does this differ from other store's submission processes?
The prime difference is the size of the team that gets to decide what gets released. For many stores, there is a team that reviews entries and decides what gets past the gates. We're approaching this from a different angle: The community should be deciding what gets released. After all, it’s the community that will ultimately be the ones deciding which release they spend their money on.


why is this company popular, again?

MamaLuigiST: Many people also feel that the textures look like "plastic" and are too clean and imperfect. Will this change before the release?

Creative Director Ocean Quigley: The textures are still being finalized. A lot of what we’re you seeing is a work in progress. We’re working hard on the building materials, so that glass looks like glass and metal looks like metal – the final buildings will have their own distinctive look and shouldn’t all look like they’re made out of cardboard or plastic. We’d like to point out that the buildings have a UI job to do as well. Buildings need to tell you how they’re doing, and if we make them look too noisy, then their simulation states are harder to see.

Romaq: What possible compelling benefit is there to "forced online play" even between regions where the players are in 'solo online play' that makes this a core required "feature?"

OQ: Your cities live on the cloud, and you can play them from any PC you like. If your PC is unplugged, your cities are safe, you can go over to your friend’s laptop and start playing. We don’t care where you install SimCity. Since your cities are on the cloud, we can give you rich online data visualizations, showing you the vitals of your city and how it compares to and relates to other cities in the SimCity world.

More prosaically, from its inception, we built this SimCity to be online and multiplayer. We’ve built servers to handle the simulation of regions and communication between cities in a region. We built servers to connect cities to global trade and commodity markets. A decent chunk of the simulation happens in the cloud.

And finally, the relationships between different cities and between different mayors are a big deal, and we think it’s one of the ways that we’re bringing new life to SimCity.

We have a lengthier response about this topic from a previous blog post I wrote. You’ll find more information here, SimCity: The Connection Between You and the World.

(German Community): Is it possible to customize something in the game like street names, signposts, hot spots for tourists etc. similar to SimCity 4 or The Sims?

Lead Producer Kip Katsarelis: We know customization is important to our fans and we’ve given players many ways to customize their cities. I can’t get into specifics at this time about what you’ll be able to name in SimCity, aside from City and Region names. However, every Ploppable building in the game is loaded with modules for players to unlock and use to customize their city. Choose from signs, flags, plants, fountains and more to give each of your Ploppables a personal touch. Our goal is to give players the control and the art to build unique pockets of their cities. You won’t have to read a name in a text box, you’ll be able to see it in world!

James A. (Facebook): What kind of resource industry will we see farming, coal mining, maybe fishing?

KK: Resources are an important part of SimCity and will feed many of the industries. These industries are meant to be the economic centers of your city. Some of the industries that you can build around harvesting resources include large scale mining operations and oil drilling. Other industries depend on these resources to make metals, alloys, and fuel. One thing to note, resources are finite, so make sure you have a backup plan for your city when those oil reserves run out!

hype_emperor: Is parking simulated in the new SimCity? Or, where do the cars go after arriving at their respective destinations?

KK: Good question. Parking is something we’ve toyed around with a lot in SimCity. Since our simulation is so detailed and we’re tracking all of our Sims and their vehicles, we found that we could easily create a Parking Lot Tycoon game if we weren’t careful. All buildings have parking and we represent some number of the cars at the building with surface parking. Additional cars are hidden in “underground” parking. There are a few Ploppables where parking is an important part of their game mechanic. The Stadiums for example have Parking Lot modules that players can add to increase their parking capacity.

Mkareha: How will solo region play work? From the trailers, it looks like the regions are composed of a bunch of isolated cities, separated by an automatic flat expressway that connects the cities. The way it looks in the trailers is not realistic at all. Will we have full control in the creation of highways, neighbor connects, modular road systems, etc.?

Lead Designer Stone Librande: Each city is connected to other cities in the region through a combination of roads and railroad tracks. Some centrally located cities may have access to many different connections, while cities located on the fringes of the region may have only one. Players do not have control of placing roads, rail and waterways; these are predetermined by the region.

Ilay160: Will there be new kind of parks, like a national park, or areas that people can go and camping?

SL: Yes, there will be parks in the city. Parks will make your Sims happy and increase the nearby land value. Parks also increase the “attraction level” of the city, which is used to determine how many tourists will visit.

German Community: What kind of traffic opportunities do you have and how can you control them?

SL: Traffic flows along the roads you place. The frequency of intersections, number of lanes, road type, and length of the road are used to determine the amount of congestion and how long it takes to get your Sims to their destination. The overall success (or failure) of a city is largely a function of how efficiently you have built your road system. You might not care if a few Sims can’t get to work on time, but you’ll feel the pressure when a fire truck can’t get to the scene of a fire and a key building burns to the ground.

But no matter how carefully you design your road network it will be difficult to keep the traffic flowing smoothly if your city is filled with densely populated skyscrapers. To avoid gridlock try building up your public transportation systems. Trams travel down a dedicated track in the middle of the street and are perfect for quickly shuttling Sims around within your city. Buses and passenger trains can be used to carry Sims to and from neighboring cities. If you happen to have a river running through your city you can build a boat dock to ferry your Sims.

Steam Greenlight opened for business today, and it's a complete cluster at this point. :lol Every two-bit wanna-be game designer is trying to shove their hot mess out there, tons of iOS shit, along with distinguished mentally-challenged people that think submitting a game means you're requesting Steam to put that game on Steam (someone put "Turok") and the yuksters that keep submitting "Half-Life 3" or  "I MAED A GAME, DERP!"

It's kind of fun actually, there's definitely a treasure hunt aspect to it. I've found 4 or 5 games that look okay so far out of the hundreds on there.

I get that sometimes, especially after my vintage stuff.

I had a bunch of vintage duplicates and kept trying to tell the guy to just offer me something and he could have as many of my seven vintage razorbacks as he wanted. But he kept going "MAKE ME OFFER" and I finally offered one razorback for 50% of his inventory "and nothing less" and he went away.

Apparently they're Russians trying to exploit another F2P market or something? A few of them seem to come from the GAF group if I backtrace them though.

Am leaning towards this one though.

If that "DLC" means Missing Link then that's like Deus Ex Complete for $6 which is cheaper than summer sale was for just the base game, QC for $3, then SC2 and Last Remnant for 50 cents each.

Just got an Origin bundle of "Sabouteur, Red Alert 3, Dragons Age, Hot Pursuit, Medal Of Honor, both Dead Spaces AND IT'S THE MERC." for free because of EA's promo code screw up!  :punch

What's awesome about this bundle is you can split it since they're just codes.  I only wanted Quantum Conundrum but I'm sure I can pass on the codes for some of the others for a few bucks to friends.
Title: Re: The Bore Steam Thread :monocle
Post by: benjipwns on October 14, 2012, 01:46:07 PM
Yeah, dispatching extra codes is always fun. Just Cause to a GAF guy who was wondering about the original, Hitman to a friend who was interested in the series and the new game but had never played any of them, and then Just Cause 2 to a guy who had his fiance run off a couple months ago.

I was considering selling them off or seeing if anyone on GAF wanted to trade for the Sanctum Map Pack 2 but then realized I had some friends I could send to (and then someone actually wanted the original Just Cause so I figured I'd let him have it, good and hard). I really like when letting those duplicate games get sent is allowed. I had a friend overseas who couldn't really buy stuff at a sane price for a while and his PC wasn't that great, but I would sometimes go "I do want these two games...and I guess I can send him these" on some of those indie bundles and didn't mind sending him a few codes for something fun to try out at least. Paid me back out of the blue randomly when he was able to from my wishlist on a Steam sale. But I don't mind dropping codes to people on GAF or here or elsewhere either.

Wouldn't mind if people other than Valve did it on Steam. Like I mentioned Sanctum, the map pack is $4 which I kinda want but not enough that I know it can't be had cheaper in a few months or so during a big sale. But the entire collection of everything is only $4.74. If I could buy that and get the second map pack (which is included) and then send everything else to a friend who hasn't played the game but who I think might enjoy it, I'd do that. Or even something ala carte, where I could get a discount buying whatever games DLC if I package it with the game and some other DLC for a friend. Right now they're missing out on all $4.74

You can play TF2 and such with any friend, but it'd be great to have incentives to provide them a base game to keep MP stats up while you buy DLC or whatever. (And hopefully they enjoy it enough they start buying when they can.)

Post by: benjipwns on October 16, 2012, 08:04:25 AM
Just play some of the base game there's plenty of hours there despite its issues, then if you want hit up the workshop for CivNights. That'll last until Gods and Kings is cheaper again.

Considering you love II and IV, you're instantly smarter than a lot of people. Especially anyone who thinks III was any good. (Oh god MGE-ToT-CTP-CTP II-III, please don't take me back to those days.)

All of that said, hit up the workshop anyway for InfoAddict. And next time a sale rolls around, some of the extra civs and scenarios are fun to have.

You're overestimating just how powerful the 360/PS3 are and how much effort id put into this job.  It's an 8 year old PC game running on ~7 year old console hardware.   It's more or less on par with the better "HD" collections. 

Circumstances of the PC version are just weird.  Allegedly the digital versions of Doom 3+Expansion have been replaced by Doom 3 BFG.  If you want to play original Doom 3, you need to either already own it or purchase the big id pack on steam.  Id is weird about PC these days.  The port of Rage was pretty poor, and I played it after it'd been "fixed" with patches.

Oh and Lollipop Chainsaw is about to hit that $20 mark too since it's $20 on Gamestop and should be $20 on Amazon shortly (console only unfortunately).

It's not possible because of a flaw in the operating system. What you can do is to use windowed mode on your second monitor. There are also applications to remove the borders from the window, but I haven't tried those myself.

A few games let you set which monitor they show up on. Saints Row The Third, NBA 2K, Just Cause 2 are a couple that come to mind.

I had an issue with Just Cause 2 for a while where it wouldn't play on my primary monitor, it'd automatically load up on the secondary.

Condemned 2 was bum fights: the game.  It has the dumbest story in video games (not an exaggeration).  I liked it, just not nearly as much as the first game.  Condemned 1 ruled.

If you weren't planning on playing it now, chances are it'll be cheaper in the upcoming bigger sales. 

and I swear I saw Call of Cthulhu on the sale earlier.  Maybe it was just an error.
Title: Re: The Bore Steam Thread :monocle
Post by: iconoclast on October 29, 2012, 06:49:58 PM
Condemned 1 was great, definitely one of the best 360 launch games. The only thing I remember about Condmened 2 was being chased by a bear and hadoukens. It's a terrible sequel, but I guess the game wasn't too bad on its own.


As for the sale, I got The Walking Dead since I like the TV show. The only other Telltale game I've played is Sam & Max season 1, which I didn't really care for. Hope TWD is better.

Kinda interested in Alice as well. I've always wanted to check it out but never got around to it. I've already got way too many games to play tho, I dunno.
Title: Re: The Bore Steam Thread :monocle
Post by: Bebpo on October 29, 2012, 09:22:33 PM
I looked through my wishlist and the sale and here's what I see:

They Bleed Pixels ($3) - Good price, but I bet this is in a bunch of bundles before xmas.
The Walking Dead ($15) - ok price, but it's Telltale so it'll be like $2 in a year
I Am Alive ($11) - Wow, $4 off.  Yawn.  Will pick up in another few months when it's at least half off.
The Darkness II ($12.50) - Still too expensive.  Main game price needs to drop so 75% will mean <$10
Hell Yeah! ($7.50) - Looks cool and I liked Arkedo's indie games, but I've heard so many bad things about this game.  Even from our own forum :(  Don't want to pay more than a buck or two for it.
Orcs Must Die 2 ($7.50) - Loved the original, but feels like I just played the first one.  Will wait a year and get it for $3.75 like I got the first.

So yeah, I don't think I'm buying anything this sale.  Which is ok because I just spent like $100 on $20 games in the last week or two now that deep discounts are starting.

For Steam games like Sleeping Dogs, they just give you a Steam code, but they're not a key reseller if that's what you're asking. GMG is an authorized retailer, like Amazon, Gamersgate, or Impulse, there's nothing shady about it.

Yeah, it's based in the UK, so when CCs and banks in the US see you using your card on a foreign "gaming" site, it triggers some automatic fraud alert flags. But the site is totally legit, though. I've used it a lot and so do a ton of people at GAF.

Well it says I can't use it due to region restrictions. So I could be wrong in saying its RU, but most of those games are like that cause they sell for so cheap over there. It didn't have anything saying that when I bought it on Greenman, they've always been a great place to buy too...

Someone said the only way around was a VPN and I don't want to risk my account getting banned. Their support specialist told me their was nothing they could do. They wouldn't even offer a refund, or another code.

Post by: Cerveza mas fina on November 09, 2012, 12:27:57 PM
Yeah doing vpn and using Russian codes can get you banned... all those games gone.

Buying codes from other regions is meh, unless you really go there. The whole infrastructure of companies depends on you buying in your region.

GMG usually doesn't have any problems with regards to that. Seems like this issue might be specifically related to where G lives and how things were set up with the game itself. It totally sucks that it's that way, though.

When Valve contacted me about two weeks ago to announce their Autumn (nov 21-27) and Winter (Dec 20-Jan 4) sales – and to ask whether we’d like to include SOTMC (Secret of the Magic Crystals) or not – I came up with an idea. Let’s set the price at $1.99 and try to generate a total sale of 50.000+ copies.

That's a bit trickier. Beamdog is owned by some ex-Bioware guys, so they've probably still got a lot of connections there, but Planescape was developed by Interplay. Not saying it won't happen, just that it's a different situation.

Hallowed be thy games.
Your service runs,
With connection on,
As it is DRM.
Give us this day our daily deals,
And forgive us our piracy,
As we forgive those who pirate against us.
And lead us not into other services,
But deliver us from evil publishers.
For thine is the PC kingdom, power, and glory Forever.

You can only send a game to your inventory if it's been gifted to you. Sucks, but that's the way it is.

Anyone try Unity of Command? It's not a genre I know much about, which is why I'm enjoying it I guess. Also, turn-based means I can chip away at a game while 'working' etc. Looks like it gets satisfyingly deep later on. I think i paid $5 for it in the last sale...i'd guess there are dozens and dozens of hours of playtime in there if you like it.

I was getting a game off my Humble Bundle account after I did a fresh install of Ubuntu and found I had a Steam key for #1 still lying around from one of the eight hundred times they gave out #1 keys again.

If anyone would like these for themselves or a friend/family/whatever just let me know and I'll send it over. Games are:
World of Goo
Aquaria

Penumbra: Overture

As good as BG is, €20 is still a ripoff for such an old game, even with the new content. Wait for a sale or pick up the original version and mod it a bit.
Title: Re: The Bore Steam Thread :monocle
Post by: Fifstar on January 17, 2013, 12:06:36 PM
Have you played the Baldur's Gate games before? If not, the first game is good, but it's successor is better in every way and a very big game on it's own. I would get just part 2 if you want to experience a Baldur's Gate game. Also 20 € is really overpriced, I got Baldur's Gate 1 and 2 + the expansions with a pc game magazine dvd for 7 € a couple years ago.
Title: Re: The Bore Steam Thread :monocle
Post by: Great Rumbler on January 17, 2013, 12:10:24 PM
No, it really isn't worth it at the price. The new content is a nice addition, but you can pick up both the Baldur's Gate games pretty cheaply and a lot of what the EE changes [in the way of bugfixes, HD resolutions, and the like] have already been implemented through fan patches over the years. I wouldn't mind having BG on Steam and not having to mess with patches, but not for that price.

But you need to pick up the golden pantaloons from the first game! There also a lot of background stuff that will fly over your head if you haven't played BG 1. Nothing vital but it'll make you appreciate the second game more.

Playing the orginal first would be the perfect way, but I feel a first time player in this age could easily burn out on the series when playing it, that's why I'd advise to go straight for the great stuff. If you like the universe enough to beat the second title, you can always go back to the first one, even if they gameplay may feel more rough after playing the second game.

offline messaging and stuff:
Quote
There's a new Steam Client Beta available. The changes are listed below, please note that due to some changes you may need to opt in to the beta twice.

 On Windows, this Beta introduces a change to the way that Steam downloads Steam Client updates. This work is done by Steam.exe, which will update when you join this Beta. You’ll see a new download progress dialog, which means that Steam is using a new HTTP-based method to get the updates. This method is already used by the OSX and linux versions of the Steam Client. In the long run, this method should be faster and more efficient for everybody.

 However, there is one quirk due to the fact that the thing which manages the Steam Client Betas is, itself, updating. This only affects users running Windows - the OSX and linux versions of Steam should join the Beta in one step. What you will see when you join the Beta is:
 Steam will restart, and update Steam.exe then download a Steam Client package. This will actually be essentially the same files as the non-Beta Steam Client, but in the new format (on disk as individual files, instead of in a gcf file)
 If you go to Settings, you’ll see that Steam no longer thinks you are in the Beta. Click “Change. . .” to re-join the Client Beta.
 Steam will restart again, this time downloading the full Beta version of the Steam Client.
 We apologize for the extra step and downloads – from this point on, your Steam client should update itself like before to keep your Beta version up to date.

 With this Steam Client Beta, we've also made some changes to how we organize and announce beta updates:
 Added a new Community group for following and discussing Client betas: http://steamcommunity.com/groups/SteamClientBeta
 When a beta update is available, the update dialog will now show Steam Client Beta changes instead of showing only the released client changes.

 Client changes:
 Offline messaging: You can now send messages to users who are offline. They will receive the message when they next log in.
 Opening a chat dialog with a friend will show some recent chat history
 A web chat interface is available, you can find it by navigating to the Steam Community Friend Activity page in your web browser. NOTE: during the beta, web chat users will show as "Online on Mobile Device".
 fixed several issues with scroll bars in the store and community views
 Added a caps lock warning indicator to the login dialog password textbox
 Removed "/me" chat command, which allowed some users to modify the color of their chat text
 Fixed forum links opening in external browser windows
 Reduced retail install time when reading from optical disc on Windows XP/Vista
 Added support for better content sharing between games
 Mac: greatly reduced CPU usage and power consumption
 Mac: fixed command-W and other keyboard shortcuts
 Mac: fixed bugs with window management and the Window menu

Anniversary and Underworld

1-3 have unbearably bad controls (which is a shame, since the games themselves are still pretty good)
Never played 4-6, but they're usually panned
Legend is basically on rails
Anniversary is the best game in the franchise.  It's a remake of 1 with fancy graphics and good controls.
Underworld is almost as good as Anniversary.

And don't forget about Guardian of Light.  It's not a classic Tomb Raider game, but it's still very well made.

I think I play these free weekends because I like the texture diversity in the Call of Duty games post-MW2. There's really pretty fancy parts in some of the maps.

It's certainly not for the guys who are seeing through walls and spawn camping with endless killstreaks. Though those dudes tend to get really upset when you start kamikazing with grenades and rocket launchers because half your team has left. This guy who was like 86-1 and kept calling in airstrikes every two seconds told me to "play the right way" because I was blindly firing rockets at all the crap in the sky and then blew up like three of his clanmates trying to cap a point with a suicide bombing one time I managed to get more than five feet from spawning.

I was like "go fuck yourself Larry Brown."  :smug

And got a sweet ass badge or something plus like a billion thousand XP for killing three dudes with a nade.  8)

I'm pretty sure the rights are theirs to begin with, and don't involve purchasing anything from the publisher. They've always been hardcore about maintaining their own IP. Maybe there's a window in the contract for the publisher to not have to face competition from P against the console versions they're publishing...?

Officially announced:
Quote
Microsoft today announced Age of Empires II HD Edition, a reimagining of the 1999 real-time strategy game. With Ensemble Studios closed, work on the updated version is being done by Hidden Path Entertainment (Defense Grid series, Counter Strike: Global Offensive).

Age of Empires II HD Edition will launch on April 9 exclusively through Steam across the world. Gamers won't need to wait that long to play, however, as those who prepurchase (at a 10 percent discount) will be able to jump in April 5.

Age of Empires II HD Edition includes every single-player campaign from the Age of Kings original and the Conquerors expansion, totaling 18 in all. In addition, gamers can challenge other Steam players through the game's online mode.

According to Microsoft, Age of Empires II HD Edition has been remastered for high-resolution displays at 1080p. It also includes an "enhanced visual engine" sporting improved textures for terrain, water and fire, and ambient lighting effects.

Steamworks features for Age of Empires II HD Edition include achievements, leaderboards, matchmaking, and cloud support. In addition, gamers can share user created content through the Steam Workshop.

Q. What’s happening?
We have been working on upgrading TF2, DoD:S, CS:S, and HL2:MP to be delivered through SteamPipe, Steam’s new content distribution. This will change how the game is downloaded and stored on your computer. The benefits to players are:
Faster and smoother downloads
Faster game boot times and map load times
Easier distribution, installation, and management of mods
Smoother dedicated server distribution and update rollover

New Day of Defeat Source Beta (Steam Pipe)
March 13th, 2013 - L | Mana | 1 Comments
DOD:S has just been switched to the new steam content delivery system. Among the highlights of this move are faster downloads, faster map loads and the ability to install DOD:S to another drive on your computer.

We also have the first DOD:S beta server up at:
67.212.160.118:27015

To get into the beta follow these instructions:
1.)   In the Steam client, right click on “Day of Defeat:Source” in the games list, and select “properties.”
2.)   Select the “betas” tab.
3.)   Select the “steampipe” beta.
4.)   Close the properties dialog.
5.)   Click “play” to launch Day of Defeat:Source.
6.)   You will be prompted with a dialog prompting you that existing content will be converted to the new format.
7.)   The conversion process will take a few minutes.

It's true that the character art is a bit weird and Poser-y outside the actual levels but it is pretty great otherwise. Love the music too. It's really weird and jarring at first but it works.  I think we're gonna run into a brick wall of difficulty pretty soon but we've already had our money's worth from it.

Has anyone played the steam version of Cave Story +? I'm having a weird issue with the controls. The action button doesn't seem to work? I'm using the 360 pad and it seems to be configured correctly. But I can't seem to do anything in the very first room (which has some health, a save point and a door) other than move and jump. Have tried all the buttons on every object and nothing happens. Have also tried it with the keyboard. Have also tried reconfiguring the controls, assigning 'fire/select' or whatever to buttons or keys that it registers otherwise...no go. Maybe the game just has some weird mechanic that I don't know about yet?

i LOVE trackmania but i have yet to pick up either of the two new games.  the previous versions never got GOTY'd if I can recall.  Instead they were upgraded and expanded through patches which gives the game a new name.  For example.  I just went searching for Trackmania on Steam to confirm and the most recent version of Trackmania is something called "Trackmania United Forever Star Edition" When I bought it it was just Trackmania United but it's been through 3 different upgrades / expansions all of which have been free to me.

Raban -

only got to play like 10 mins of Dyad but does it even have a full-screen option? It also kicked up a DOS window that sat behind the game window for me. Pretty shabby for a port of a game that's been out for ages, I thought. Nothing is more irritating to me now than starting up a game that has 'full controller support' and immediately having to get up to use the mouse and keyboard to dismiss some bullshit pop-up or fiddle with menus or whatever
Title: Re: The Bore Steam Thread :monocle
Post by: Raban on May 01, 2013, 11:43:46 PM
Mine also defaulted to windowed and has a DOS prompt, but it's no big deal in fullscreen (which it does have). Scroll to the bottom of the screen to get into the config menu. I just booted it up, and outside of clicking "launch" with my mouse, worked perfectly fine controller only. I hope you have a better experience next time! It's a really cool game!

Is Torchlight 2 actually any good? And are there any good mods for it?

http://www.synergiesmod.com/

Quote
NEW THINGS ADDED IN THE NORMAL PLAYTHROUGH
-106 Elite monsters
-106 Hero monsters
-6 Rare dragons
-6 extremely Rare world bosses spawning in the major areas of the map
-A new vendor in Estherian Enclave that will sell alternative leveling dungeon maps
-A portal to the end game TABLE MOUNTAIN city.
-New quests, new hairstyles, more faces, more customizations!
-New pets associated with the Necromancer and Paladin.
-New HP / Mana and Fame UI

A whole new class, the Necromancer. The first truly new class for Torchlight 2.
2 new classes which are NOT finished Warlock, and Paladin

A WHOLE NEW BALANCE POINT
-Gear is better, monsters are harder, ALL BOSSES are harder.
-Green and Blue magical items have better affix rates, Uniques have better base DPS and Armor.
-Two handed and dual wielding have better bonus's, shields have a small cast delay for their increased survivability.
-Monsters spawn more numerous throughout the game
-Skills unlock at a earlier rate, but take longer to progress between points, ending at or above vanilla standards.

END GAME RAIDS
-Derinkuyu 105 contains 10 randomly selected different maps, sold in tablemountain on the Salan vendor
-7 full sets of legendary armor (70 new legendary armor pieces) set at just above level 100 unique values (harbingers, transcended, etc) each with their own UNIQUE re-textures made exclusively for SynergiesMOD and dropped from Raid Bosses
-18 new Tier0 Legendary Weapons dropped from Raid Bosses
-new Trash mobs for the Derinkuyu 105 dungeon, with raid wide specific 'Trash Loot' tables including another 13 legendary weapons
-14 Brand new raid boss encounters will keep you on your toes, 3 remixed old boss encounters (Grell and Grom the Murderer, Spectral Dragon) Each with their own MMO style loot tables.
-Boon scroll upgrades and much much more!

This is the best one. You can get it off Steam Workshop.

The $60 ones are the ones that only one person is selling. I don't know if anyone's buying. I know you can make a few bucks selling cards though. Even beta invites were selling for +$2.

No, but you get cards pretty quick just by idling. The only problem is that only 4-5 will drop, and then you run out of potential drops. I idled in TF2 for about 3 hours and hit the max. I dunno if they reset over time or what. They must, otherwise it'd be almost impossible to get a set without spending money (which would suck).

Title: Re: The Bore Steam Thread :monocle
Post by: Bebpo on June 06, 2013, 01:05:16 AM
It's the worst 3d action game this generation and probably last generation too.  The combat is awful, the enemies are grindy, the framerate SUCKS on consoles, there's these Shadow of the Colossus bosses that go on forever and are worthless, the game is like like 20+ hours long of repetition, there's QTE crap everywhere and I don't even remember what else but it was bad bad bad.  Oh yeah, bad camera and platforming too.

I have a pretty high tolerance for bad when it's franchises I like and pretty graphics (and this game has REALLY NICE GRAPHICS), but I dropped the game about 10-12 hours in because it was just such an extreme chore to play and I didn't feel like spending another 6-10 hours of no-fun that could have been spent on better games.


Basically Mercury Steam has no idea what makes action games fun.
Title: Re: The Bore Steam Thread :monocle
Post by: mjemirzian on June 06, 2013, 02:00:11 AM
Hmm.. sounds pretty janky, thanks for your comment. Might give it a 'test drive' on PC before committing on Steam. Framerate shouldn't be an issue unless they pull a Dark Souls and lock it at 30.
Title: Re: The Bore Steam Thread :monocle
Post by: Bebpo on June 06, 2013, 04:36:10 AM
30 would be an improvement :lol

The console versions were around 20-24fps constantly.  At 60fps on PC I'm sure it'll be a better game, but even smoother combat won't change how dull the levels are and how long the game is.

The game has its fans for some warped reason.  Probably has something to do with Kojima fans since they published it. 

I like Kojima, but the game has nothing to do with him.  Sure there are a lot of cutscenes, but he'd never make gameplay as shoddy as what's in the game.

How much?
Title: Re: The Bore Steam Thread :monocle
Post by: Rufus on June 16, 2013, 08:22:36 AM
Right now, regular cards go for .30€ to .40€. That'll go lower as more and more people join the beta and hit rock bottom once all of Steam is generating cards. Foils are worth a lot more, but they will crash as well. If they ever drop to TF2 crate levels it might be worth to buy cards and craft badges to get coupons.

So far I made 14.64€, mostly from selling cards. Enough for one or two games once the summer sale starts, so it was worth it. Don't buy games just to get their cards though, I made that mistake with Fairie Solitaire. It's a neat little time waster, but I wouldn't have bought it otherwise. I used the credit I had accumulated thus far to buy it, so it doesn't sting much (only lost 10c in the end).
Title: Re: The Bore Steam Thread :monocle
Post by: Purple Filth on June 16, 2013, 01:06:21 PM
How much?

less than a dollar so it wasn't much (due to being a common card).

How do you trade cards with friends?

If it works like how you trade anything else, you select which friend you want to trade with, hit the "Send Message" button at the top of their page, and then in the pop-out box click the downward pointing arrow beside their name. That pulls up a drop-down box. Then select "Invite to Trade." Should be pretty easy once you get to that.

- Since there may be lower performing PCs out there, we have introduced a "Static" and "Dynamic" background system available in the Graphics Options menu. If you are receiving low FPS, consider trying out the "Static" background mode.
- There are also 2 Frame Rate modes available: "Fixed" and "Variable". In the interests of better online experiences, Online play will be fixed to the "Fixed" Frame Rate mode.
- The closed beta will only feature Online play. We understand the importance of excellent netcode and so we wish to utilize this beta test as a means of collecting feedback on our new netcode. We will then use this feedback to further improve the netcode where possible.

We have worked really hard on the netcode. We have run tests between the USA, UK and Japan, all with excellent results. But we know that through your testing and feedback, we may be able squeeze out some extra performance.

We look forward to working with you all in order to make KOFXIII S.E. an excellent gaming experience. September 13th will be an excellent day for us all!

Post by: Joe Molotov on August 18, 2013, 10:26:03 PM
Depends on the game. The indie jank with 15 cards per badge are barely worth anything. I sold some Tomb Raider and Bioshock ones this weekend and they were all still selling for around 30c.
Title: Re: The Bore Steam Thread :monocle
Post by: benjipwns on August 18, 2013, 11:31:33 PM
Yeah, I sold a Sanctum 2 one for like 35 cents and a Super Meat Boy one for around 30 cents this weekend. But I have TF2 ones listed at ten cents that haven't moved in a while. Just depends on the game and card.
Title: Re: The Bore Steam Thread :monocle
Post by: pilonv1 on August 19, 2013, 12:01:30 AM
I did get up to 15-20c for some from Costume Quest and Euro Truck Sim 2. I'm trying to prioritise the newer card games like Defense Grid since they're likely to be a little higher.

Post by: Human Snorenado on August 19, 2013, 12:55:24 AM
Yeah, it depends.  I sold some stuff in my purge for .20+, and then other shit was barely .10.  The sooner you sell something after a game first comes out, the more you're gonna maximize your profit. 

Still pissed my only foil drop was for Torchlight II, that shit was barely worth .60.  :fbm

Joe- what level do you need to be before you start getting packs?  I think I might need to craft some really cheap badges, I'm basically just at level 8.

Everyone can get booster packs once they've received all their card drops. You can get an increase in drop rate by leveling up. At level 10 you get a +20% modifier.

Edit: So far I've gotten two boosters and four foils.

I bought that Cherry Tree High Comedy Club game from the groupees bundle for 75 cents. Played like 20 minutes of it and then had it idle for an hour while doing other stuff. Got four of the five cards.

I'm pretty sure it's on a per game basis so you're still eligible for booster packs for all your other games.

So Raban was kind enough to purchase CoD MW2 for me last night. Only for me to realize that after starting it up that nothing was going on. So after spending a good part of my day trying to play it I started to get really frustrated and understandably so. So in a last ditch effort I thought to contact Activision only to find out they no longer support the game. Then it was onto Valve to contact them for some type of resolution. Their answer was "it was a gift, you didn't pay anything for the game." WTF VALVE!!! That was not what I was expecting to hear from Valve.

Yeep already gone through a lot of suggestions. I'm on my 4th install with this game just trying to get it to load properly. I'm up to date on all my drivers too. Lots of folks have problems with similar issues, but mine is right out the gate it wont start. I've tried launching directly from the games directory and with steams offline mode.

You can compare it with Front Mission, Tactics Ogre, or Suikoden Tactics if you prefer any of those. In the end it's the same old grid-based combat with weapons and skills.

Combat speed wasn't an issue for me. In the beginning of the game you have a small party and you only face 1-4 enemies at once. Battles are short. You should definitely give it a try since you appreciate difficult games.
Title: Re: The Bore Steam Thread :monocle

Sounds good

so what's the consensus gorky or septerra?

Gorky is like X-COM or FF: Tactics. Very fine game but quite difficult.

Septerra is like a cheap FF7 knock-off. When it came out there were like 0 jRPGs on the PC, so it felt quite good. I'd recommend it for no more than $5.

They are both $2.50 atm, at least they were yesterday but as joe posted they will probably be in a bundle so i'll probably wait it out.

Yeah most western developed tactics games are on the hardcore side, especially compared to most SRPGs. I'll give it a try sometime, it's on my backlog. :'(

I believe so. I think it's the price that appears on the market.

Just from personal experience I've found pricing at it which then adds Valve's two/three cents on top it tends to take a longer time to sell. Pricing at exactly or a penny above that as the "total price" (with Valve's cut) tends to sell pretty fast. Often in like fifteen minutes or less if you hit it exactly.

Yeah, the Batman games are one of the games that's like this.

It leads to a situation where you can't buy GOTY or in GTA IV's case "Complete" editions because Steam thinks you already own it because they removed the non-GOTY version from the store. (And often nobody bothers to put the DLC on sale once that happens.)

That said, I gladly accept GOTY versions for free, thanks Warner/Rocksteady! (You too Microsoft, this wouldn't have happened without your tremendous efforts on the PC this generation.)

GTA IV's was/is extra broken because there's GTA IV, GTA IV: Episodes from Liberty City and GTA IV: Complete. And they'd always put the latter on sale, but not the Episodes, yet if you had the first one you couldn't purchase the Complete Edition. Eventually someone must have noticed/notified 2K because they put Episodes on sale.

Now, this was just in Steam. Then you had to deal with GFWL to register the Episodes or some bullshit that had the same problem where you "owned" something discontinued but the system thinks you already had "Complete." (Plus Rockstar Social Club!)

So gamestop has managed to pull some steam keys for Ghostbusters (http://www.gamestop.com/pc/games/ghostbusters/73008) and Riddick (http://www.gamestop.com/pc/games/the-chronicles-of-riddick-assault-on-dark-athena/72990) from somewhere.

I'm after Ghostbusters but apparently the money of anyone outside the US isn't good enough for them and a VPN won't cut it, so could any kindly Borean help me out? Sorted

Title: Re: The Bore Steam Thread :monocle
Post by: G The Resurrected on October 27, 2013, 04:12:00 AM
My bank card was compromised a few weeks back and my bank was stupid enough to do a charge back. And since the card is no longer active the institution that issued the card can't reverse the charge back. Valve is all business about stuff like this and decided to auto ban my account. I can't even play in offline mode! I contacted them on thursday when I was notified of the issue and haven't heard anything since.
Title: Re: The Bore Steam Thread :monocle
Post by: Rufus on October 27, 2013, 04:20:53 AM
Ugh. Yeah, it's as you say, they're complete hard-asses about charge-backs. I don't know why they shutter the entire account when this happens and not just the game(s) in question.
Title: Re: The Bore Steam Thread :monocle
Post by: G The Resurrected on October 27, 2013, 04:34:13 AM
I think it's a rather poor way of doing things especially given they don't have a huge dedicated customer service center. If they did and things could be handled in a timely manner I might understand if it only took a few minutes of my time to correct, but days are bullshit. And I guess it was friday in which they told cut me off not thursday, but thats when they sent the email about it. It would make things so much easier if they just allowed you the user to add a different card so I could pay the amount that was charged back and get it all solved.

What sucks is the purchase was a gift for one of our own members. And now I look like an ass due to my bank's issues.

Hope it gets resolved soon.

I have a much more minor issue: Steam nuked my categories. I only had three (Done, Backlog and MP) but it's still annoying. First time it happened to me. Why does it do this? Woah, nevermind, they're back!

Still no resolution to my issues. I did finally get a phone number out of them since my issue is rather complicated. I tried calling it yesterday and got a really rude person who obviously hates their job. I asked about other forms of resolution and the only other option it seems is to get into a time machine and stop the charge back from ever occurring.  They told me I either find a way to reverse the charge back or my account will be deleted in 9 weeks (Dec 26th). I'm basically being held hostage by Valve for all of my PC games since they've locked out offline play.

As someone who has been on steam since before HL2 was available and never once had an issue you'd think they would understand. But no they want me to understand their flawed logic and archaic business practices. Their are other ways to solve this solution, but Valve does not see that. They won't take another form of payment in this case and I find that to be the biggest issue. Had they just allowed me to put the charge on the card I got as a replacement all of this would have been solved by now. Instead I'm having to hound my institution for a solution to reverse a charge back. It's all on me to do everything to get this solved and Valve doesn't seem to understand that it isn't possible.  I've already got affidavit from the bank coming in the mail to explain the situation and the reasons behind why they can't reverse it. I'm going to try and find a way to get that to Valve in hopes they resolve this issue. I might have to look into getting some legal help to get this sorted if it gets closer to Dec 26th.

All of this cause of a $5.99 charge back...

eryi's action is awesome,it often trick you into moving in a certain manner or do something that you would find it obvious and then make fun of you for doing it usualy by killing you in a "take that,player! bet you didn't expect that uh?" fashion...

it's more like that sega joke game (pole big adventure?) than i wanna be the guy since once you know something is there it's (usualy) pretty easy to dodge but it's pretty short and frankly not worth the value other than for a cheap laugh

Everything I've looked at for charge backs indicates that it should be a suspension. But the person handling my case seems to be a dick. This is my first offense if you even want to call it that.

The CSR I spoke with said that my account is up for deletion after that date. I can only hope they don't follow through with it.

Steam as a service and a program has always been a piece of shit. They're great for cheap games, or selling imaginary cards/hats to other people for store credit...and that's about it.

What happens when you buy a Steambox and they 86 your account because of something like that? Have fun with your useless $600 PC, sucker.

Post by: G The Resurrected on October 31, 2013, 11:45:46 AM
Well I'm really seriously considering that after this I might be done on steam. DRM is only as good as the policies and practices of the company that enforces them. And in my case Valve has failed me. I believe it is up to the companies (Valve and my institution) rather than myself to have to verify information and communicate between the two parties. Valve is being nothing but child like in saying its not their problem and they can't be bothered to help in any meaningful way. Then on the other hand I have my institution who is willing to work with Valve on figuring out a solution to the problem. But because of Valve's policies they won't even do that. So here I am stuck in the middle and it's not fun.

For a company that has had years of good luck. I can only wish that they start getting their shit together and fix problems like these. Their customer service is atrocious and archaic in how they deal with things.

Post by: G The Resurrected on October 31, 2013, 06:16:21 PM
I've tried calling them back to no avail I believe that the number is a one time use 866 number that is associated with the case file number. And since my case was closed by Valve I just went and reopened it. The CSR also gave me a fax number to fax them the affidavit to. I'm hoping that they reopen the case and look at the information I have given to them. If they don't do that I'm going to be taking it to Kotaku since they will post just about anything to get clicks.


Super annoying that this happened especially given the sales and their limited time deals. As well I had just bought two games that very same day with my Steam wallet funds.

I don't mind if anyone posts the information elsewhere as visibility will only get attention in a positive light and not in a negative one. If anything it will show people that Steam isn't all its cracked up to be.

Skip as much of the driving as you can, don't bother doing any of the side missions that involve mucking around in your car in the wastes.

I guess I should be happy with how they've handled the comic, but you'd think Rebellion would have done more with it on the game side of things. A shitty Dredd game, Rogue Trooper, and then nothing for 7 years seems like a missed opportunity.

November 25, 2013 - Valve today announced the beta launch of Steam Reviews, adding more ways Steam users may share their experiences with others and make more informed purchase decisions.

Users considering a purchase on Steam may now browse reviews from friends and the community, leave comments on reviews, and indicate which reviews they found helpful.

Once a user has played a game or used a software title on Steam, they are able to write a review of that product and share their experience with everyone on Steam.

Steam Reviews is an evolution of the Recommendation system that has been a part of Steam since 2010. Over the past few years, Steam users have written over 7 million Recommendations of games and software to their friends. Those Recommendations have been upgraded to Steam Reviews. As such, users may now choose to make their past Recommendations visible as Reviews to everyone on Steam, if they wish, by visiting their list of Reviews and changing the settings accordingly.

Steam Reviews is currently in open beta, accessible to any Steam user.

For more information, please visit www.steampowered.com/reviews

Yeah it would be nice, but I think it would be really hard to really capture the inspired insanity I'm finding in these old Warrior / 2000AD comics onto a video game.  Weirdly enough, Marlow Briggs has really nailed it for me.  It's funny, it's dark, it's full of insane set pieces and it's very episodic.

I'd have thought a Strontium Dog game would have been interesting, but if they wanted something more ground to earth they could have a game based on the recent Dredd film. Given how hard that bombed it's likely that none of the 2000AD properties have any pull with the public so it's probably just as well I don't get to make any decisions at Rebellion.

Anyway, Rogue Trooper deal (http://www.amazon.com/Rebellion-Developments-Limited-Trooper-Download/dp/B009IXL4NW/?tag=thbo09f-20) is live if you still want it.

So I've installed Titan Quest and Immortal Throne again and I've run into the weirdest issue. It doesn't download the text files if you install the English version. Not sure if that's just an issue for non-US accounts, but the whole folder is missing. A user has even made a guide on how to fixt it. :neogaf
Switching to German created the folder and downloaded the text file properly. Switching back to English removes it again. This is so weird.

The DREDD movie bombed, or the game based on it bombed? I have no insight on either, as neither had any heat at all here in Japan.

The game is quite old now, but I enjoyed Rogue Trooper when it was new despite never having read any of the comics. It's a third-person shooter that you'll beat in 6 hours.

The movie absolutely cratered. Hasn't been a Dredd game for about a decade.

Like Archnemesis says, the game is quite old but you can still get a kick out of it if you're familiar with the comic, otherwise I'd suggest saving your cash for something more recent. You could do worse for $1.50 though.

I'm finding Rogue Trooper to be a bit of fun.  I've played it for about 2 hours and it starts off during the Quartz Massacre, so you play through  Rogue Trooper's "origin" story.  I like the salvage and upgrade method for getting ammo and equipment.  Also the interjections from the biochips of your fallen comrades stands true to how they feel in the comics (still hilarious that they're names are Bagman, Gunnar and Helm). 

The Dredd game looks horribad so i didn't even bother.  The dream game is of course an open world game that just gives you various cases to work while eventually leading up to something like The Apocalypse War done by Volition in full on tongue in cheek Saint's Row mode.

It's one of those games that delivers on atmosphere in this immense way that games simply don't do anymore (like throwing you head first into the deep end of cybermancy) but it's SEVERELY limited by the Source engine. In concept it's supposed to be akin to Deus Ex but playing it as anything but a mediocre shooter with some neat periphery stuff, like the turn-based RPG style hacking system, leaves a ton to be desired.

Basically it's a really ambitious C-minus kinda game.

It might actually be better to give Liberation a shot first because after 2 and Bro you'll probably be done with the series.

From the author of Spice and Wolf, Isuna Hasekura, comes WORLD END ECONOMiCA. The opening video features music by Kishida Kyoudan & The Akeboshi Rockets, known for the opening songs for High School of the Dead and Strike the Blood.

A three part visual novel set in the far future on the moon, 16 years after humans have begun to colonize it. A young boy named Haru has been chasing his wildest dream. His dream is to stand where no man has stood before, and in order to do so he needs capital, a ludicrous amount of capital. What better place to get that amount of capital by using the stock market? There are two key rules that govern the stock market.

The first rule: Never take a loss.
The second rule: Never forget the first.

Only those who follow these rules are able to obtain enormous wealth...

At least play Witcher 2. Witcher 1 has completely different combat that's not as fun and you can easily skip it. But Witcher 2 shouldn't be missed.

it's not a long game (between 2 and 3 hours) and it ends in a "wait for part 2" cliffhanger... what there is isn't particulary well done in regard of puzzle but it's decent from a art/sassy jokes perspective...

It has probably the most realistic bullet mechanics of any game I've played, taking into consideration wind speed, distance, bullet drop, range-finding, elevation, etc. Pretty intense stuff. It also has X-Ray views of skeletons/muscles/organs as you're shooting them.

Someone give me Yawhg impressions PLEASE

it's artsy as fuck, a monster is going to come in 6 week so each week you pick a location to visit between 8 different one and each location increase your stat so for example if you go dancing your charm increase but if you go hunting your strenght increase instead... after getting your stat increase an event happens and you have to pick between one of two choice's (there's a surprising amount of event involving leeches) which might further increase or decrease your stat, some event also ends in one turn to continue in another (for example in one event you shoo away a bard only to find he killed himself after being shooed a bunch of turns later) because consequence are artsy

after 6 turn pass the yawhg arrive and the town is destroyed,then you pick a role for each of the character you played with like "leader" or "woodcutter" and depending on your stat and role picked it gives you an epilogue about how your character survived the disaster or how they died horribly to post-apocalypse madness

a whole game takes like 10 minute's to play

I bought Broken Age finally thanks to that 33% off sale. Game is pretty good and quite wacky but it's pretty standard adventure game bullshit. You'd think with all that money they'd do something a bit more innovative?

I'm very early on so maybe the dual character stuff adds an interesting gameplay wrinkle. It's just an ADD simulator for me right now since I'm constantly swapping between the two characters.

I get that Kickstarter is just nostalgia fodder funding but I expected more out Double Fine, I guess. Even Telltale's games are more forward thinking and they put shit out on time* and on budget.

He's not joking. That was literally the intention. From the Kickstarter page:
Quote
Over a six-to-eight month period, a small team under Tim Schafer's supervision will develop Double Fine's next game, a classic point-and-click adventure.

The given time-frame is just funny in retrospect. Schafer gonna Schafer.
Title: Re: The Bore Steam Thread :monocle
Post by: a slime appears on March 08, 2014, 12:34:54 PM
Ohhh ok. I never followed the Kickstarter. I just saw all the news articles about how amazingly well funded it was and just assumed it was Double Fine's next big adventure game. Thanks for clarifying since that puts me in a completely different mindset. With that said being able to swap characters is really neat then. Still "classic" adventure gaming but it adds a neat spin.

Glad I bought it!

I'm guessing the IQ is terrible though, like every PS3 game.  PS4 is the first console I'm actually ok with image quality (and would totally play free PS+ games even if a PC version existed; hell I'll buy the PS4 version over the PC one occasionally like ACIV because of performance) since even if they don't turn on AA, at 1080p jaggies are pretty minimal.  720p or sub-720p with no AA and 30fps or lower though...hurts the eyes when I can play at 1080p with 4xAA and 30-60fps on my PC.

The DC is fine. The commentary is cool to listen to, though I wish they'd included visual hotspots for it like Valve does. There was also something I had to change in the config files or even the registry to get my framerate back to where it was in the original release, but other than that (and the misssing piss filter) it was good.

Yeah, good game?

My personal favorite point & click adventure since the golden era of the 90s.  It's super budget and janky, but the story and characters are good, the puzzles good, it's a nice meaty length and the music is phenomenal.  It's a spiritual sequel to the Gabriel Knight series, which is my favorite adventure game series, so it's not a surprise I like this one a lot!

Which one of these LEGO games is the best one for me to throw five bucks at? Marvel Super Heroes? Lord of the Rings?

License doesn't matter too much, I just like the dopey play of them from time to time. Pop in and play a couple levels. Friend got MSH a while back and said it was really good.

Already have the first Batman which was kinda meh, loved Star Wars though.

First problem I've ever had with steam:  Bought Shadowrun Returns + Dragonfall.  Go to install games it's stuck at "searching for licenses" forever.

Then I go to software library and it doesn't show up in my library of owned games.  But on the store page for it, it has the green "you already own bar"  but when I click play now nothing happens.  Grrrrr >_<

It is pretty good, yes. Especially if you like cyberpunk and especially if you like the Shadowrun universe. Dead Man's Switch [the original campaign] is okay but not particularly great, the DLC campaign [Dragonfall] is quite a bit better all around.

Bebpo: Shadowrun Returns sucks. It's a slightly below average strategy rpg with the interactivity and open-endedness of an rpg on rails. It's a scaled down srpg that was made for mobile in mind which doesn't translate well to pc game environment. If you're going to play it, play it on mobile.

It feels GOOD. More than that, Dynasty Warriors 8XLCE, the latest game in my gaming comfort food in the Warriors series, is now on Steam. Even BETTER. Warriors titles, SMT spin offs and other Atlus titles, and Final Fantasy XV are the only thing keeping me from dumping consoles completely except for the occasional Japanese game. ONE MORE STEP FOR FREEDOM. And then something like DreadOut comes out and it looks like it made just for me? :lawd Thank you based Gabe!

Yo, this looks cool and it's on sale: Retro Game Crunch (http://store.steampowered.com/app/290040)

It appears inspired by the awesome Retro Game Challenge DS game (Game Center CX) but it's missing a wrapper connecting all the games.

yeah any of the MadCatz TE fightsticks for 360 are natively supported on PC. Have at it http://store.madcatz.com/categories/fightsticks-category/ and you could always hit up eBay for second-hand units to save a few bucks.

there are probably cheaper ones out there, but these use real Japanese parts, are easily moddable, and are just about as durable as home arcade sticks get.

Crimzon Clover (2014's GOTY) is up and it seems like there's a pricing error on the deluxe edition (60% off instead of 30%, making it $5.60): http://store.steampowered.com/app/285440/  :omg

this game looks and reminds me of battle garegga.

It's not that similar to Garegga. I'd say the main inspiration comes from Soukyugurentai/Terra Diver (for the lock shot) and Cave in general (eg. hypers from Dodonpachi, difficulty selection from Mushihimesama, the multiplier & timer from Ketsui, etc). The guy who created the game spent five years working on the original and he also happens to be one of the best players of all time, so it's about as polished and well designed as a doujin game could ever hope to be imo.

You were logged into the same STEAM account on both machines? When you clicked on a game that was installed on the other PC it didn't say "Stream" instead of Launch?

I don't remember if you need to be running in the Steam beta, may wanna try that.

:bow jshackles has done it again. :bow2 This program will automatically scan your profile for games that have card drops remaining, then idle one of the remaining games (whether you actually have the game downloaded or not doesn't matter) then will periodically scan to see whether that game has any drops remaining, and when you've got all the cards you can from it, it exits that game and starts another one.

Beyond the initial setup, which takes about a minute, it takes no effort at all. Just run the program at night or when you're gone to work or whenever you're not playing something else on Steam, and let it go to town. I've been using it since Wednesday and got around 75 drops and banked $10.50 so far. Should have enough for TITS or Necrodancer by the end of the weekend. :rock

Well, you still only get a certain about of drops, and once you get them all, that's all you can get from those games forever (not counting booster packs, but there's no way to cheat that).
Title: Re: The Bore Steam Thread :monocle

Yeah, this system is water proof on their end. The total quantity is regulated, the booster packs are regulated.
I can't see it hurting them. Why would they care if you actually spend a few hours in game or not.

Also, I smh every time I see people talking like the trading cards are some magic money makers.

It gets people to put money in the system and consider games that have cards more closely. It's pure manipulation and it seems to work. So long as you only sell cards you're not a sucker, but you help make suckers of other people. It's good business for them, I'm sure. :yeshrug

Yup. Trade or preferrably buy. And then craft a badge for a chance at a game specific item, which, if it's a marijuana leaf emoticon (Port Royale 3?) or something else that's rare and in demand will sell for quite a bit. So now you've got people chasing that, but there's only a limited card supply, so more people have to buy the game  to get the cards to craft the badge and so on. And Valve gets a cut off of every transaction in the process. Also, the money people 'make' is stuck on people's accounts, you can't pay it out in easy or non-shady, possibly ToS breaking ways. So you have someone paying exhorbitant prices for a 16x16 gif, money which then goes into the purchase of more games, etc., etc. Money-making-meta.

Dead Rising 3 is the biggest piece of shit in PC gaming.  Makes GTAIV look optimized.  Might actually put in the effort to ask for a refund from Steam.  Game runs at like 15-30fps with screen tearing in 720p, crashes and the cutscenes drop to 1-3fps at times and this is on a rig that can run Crysis/Metro and anything else with 30fps 1080p no problem, most games 60fps 1080p maxed no problem.

Might be an Nvidia issue.  Been seeing some people saying it's fine and they're all on AMD.  Usually it's the opposite!

Unlocked the framerate and re-locked with Nvidia, dropped all the settings from high-medium and most effects off and finally game is totally DR1 on Xbox360 levels of playable at 1080p even with some AA.

Game is pretty fun.  Port is awful though.

They're probably foreign keys, and they're probably legit. It's a grey area, but as long as you're not using VPNs to buy foreign keys, Valve's not going to do anything about it. Peeps on GAF buy/trade these keys all the time, and no one's ever got in trouble for doing it. (I've done it once or twice.) At worst, if it gets too bad, publishers will just pushing for more region locked keys (some do it now, some don't).

So, starting today, Steam is now offering the ability for mod creators to charge for their mods. Skyrim's the first game to have them.

Hmm...not sure how I feel about this just yet, but I guess I wouldn't be too against it if it meant higher quality user-created mods on the Steam marketplace. Not gonna put down cash for dumb stuff like what 90%+ of them are, though.

Mods that used copyrighted material were already banned on Steam even before this, although I'm not sure how strictly that was enforced. With money involved, it could be a bigger issue, though.

As for as the developers/publishers of the games themselves, it's up to each one individually to decide if they want paid mods to be offered in the marketplaces for their games.

It's strangely engrossing when you get to the point where you're pondering whether you'll make more to dump all your money into say, the bank so it gives insane profits even though its time is so long or to wait it out a bit and spend more on boosting the movie studio to the next level to increase the cash flow. Edge of the seat seconds of decision making right there. Even if though there's no possible lose condition other than your time.

Showing the first wrinkles already:
http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2015/06/02/steam-refunds/

Quote
But after speaking with developers, we’ve learned that there is concern about the immediately obvious exploits the system offers.

Games that have opted not to use Steam’s DRM, which of course is usually perceived as a customer-friendly decision, can now be purchased, copied over into a different directory, and then a refund requested. With the new no-quibble policy, they’ll get their money back, and have a working copy of the game remaining on their hard drive. It is, essentially, the same shady antics that were possible when brick-n-shelving game stores would provide refunds on DRM-free boxed PC games. It was, in fact, a huge reason why boxed PC games had DRM.

It’s also worth noting that any trading cards dropped in the opening two hours of a game (which of course is prime dropping time) can, as well, be sold before the refund is issued. This means these new changes go so far as to provide customers with a way to profit from buying and refunding games.

Then there are the enormous problems this raises for developers whose games last under two hours. Dear Esther, Gone Home, heck, even the original Portal, are designed to have short running times. Once completed, there’s nothing (other than honour, I suppose) to stop a customer requesting a refund for a game they’ve completed.

Other more tricksy issues spring to mind. Organised mob use of Steam reviews are already commonplace, but require the users to have purchased and played the game. With the new system now in place, it will be simple for such organised groups to buy a game, review bomb it, then get refunds. And goodness knows how this will work with games set to offline mode.
All of these sound like fixable issues, but they also sound like stuff they should have thought of (and maybe talked to devs about).

Post by: thisismyusername on June 02, 2015, 08:29:28 PM
That no-DRM one is really no big fuckin' deal. Oh noes, someone "legit"ly pirating! I seriously doubt that'll be a huge issue and if it does become a huge issue: Deny refunds on no-DRM games. Done.

Trading cards don't drop until after the 2 hour limit. Done, fixed loop hole.

Review bombed titles? Refunded titles have the review deleted/pulled. Done.

I just saved Valve millions of man hours in work. You're welcome, Gabe.

This made me reminisce about when a TF2 class update was coming and it was a big deal with people finding hidden links and images and then spending the first few days achievement farming to get all the new items.

Also that one update that broke the announcer so she just kept saying OVERTIME OVERTIME OVERTIME OVERTIME OVERTIME OVERTIME, and then the complaints when Valve fixed it so they made it a server switch. :lol

And that made me reminisce about old TF2 and when me and a friend would speed-run badlands every single time with scouts and ending the round in like 30 seconds because everyone was headed towards the middle and the scouts had fast cap with the last point being a near instant cap. And when the backburner just came out, and getting ubered with a backburner while in people's spawns was like a horrible pile of dead ragdolls or in general looping above to drop down behind an entire team and get them all in the back when waiting for a gate or something.

Mann vs Machine was such a good idea, but executed poorly. You have to complete a round to get the powerup canteen apparently. Which means if you fail to complete a round (and I'm not talking quitting, I mean BEATING the round) you don't get it. Which is "uh... Valve, really?"

Medic, Pyro and Heavy updates were like the crazy ones. Then Scout and Sniper v. Spy started to trickle off, like it wasn't as huge, affecting every server and player.

EDIT: Looking at the TF2 Wiki, Medic added Gold Rush/Payload mode. Pyro added Turbine. Heavy added the arenas plus more importantly Steel and Badwater Basin. :aah

I feel like The Golden Age drifted off around the addition of King of the Hill mode. Though Arena was probably a worse mode in retrospect. (Seems like Valve agrees on that last point, they never added another Arena map after August 2009.)

Yea, you're probably right. I ditched my PS3 so this is the only way I can play it. Durante did post some overall positive impressions though:

Quote
I think it's solid, though not exceptional.

Let's start out with the bad:

    M/KB controls are, well, there, and at least you can use the mouse in menus unlike some other ports, but really, don't play this without a gamepad.
    Locked 30 FPS.

The good:

    Arbitrary resolutions are supported.
    Graphics performance is great. No, seriously, at 5k on a 970 it just uses 45% of my GPU for locked 30 FPS.
    Frame delivery is very consistent (likely as a result of the great performance). So although it's 30 FPS, I find it playable.
    The game is pretty interesting and unique.
Title: Re: The Bore Steam Thread :monocle
Post by: Bebpo on July 17, 2015, 05:46:18 PM
Oh cool, didn't know that.  Durante is usually pretty picky about PC stuff since he ends up fixing them, so if he's happy with it, it's probably solid.

It's definitely been a tough ride though.  Game was supposed to be out, like, last year.  You almost never see a localization company attempt to do major programming, so I can understand the struggle.  Reminds me of Working Designs since they'd actually program changes into the game.

After Windows 10/Microsoft kowtow'd to Gabe and went "you know, we really do need Steam" is anyone surprised? Valve has been silently pulling their support and they couldn't get EA/Ubisoft/et. al. on board to do Linux so the whole initiative was dead in the water before Valve even threw it out into the public light.

Risen 3: Titan Lords: The graphical fidelity has Risen
Community Announcements - DG_DeepSilver
...now that we have your attention with our terrible pun, today we'd like to announce that, courtesy of a free automatic update for those who already have the game in their library, we're bringing a slew of visual enhancements to Risen 3: Titan Lords for players running the game on a 64-bit Operating System -

- Improved texture resolution for items, objects, foliage, terrain, particle effects, characters, monsters and other in-game models.
- Improved draw distance & viewing ranges
- Larger caches leading to smoother frame-rates & less LOD streaming
- The introduction of new state of the art post-process effects such as bokeh depth of field and HDR bloom
- Addition of a new physically based, more visually realistic cloud rendering technique that adds even more spectacular skies and sunsets to the dynamic day-night cycles.

For those of you yet to own Risen 3: Titan Lords, fear not: if you're running on a 64-bit OS then you'll automatically receive the 64-bit version of the game upon purchase. Due to the fact that the above improvements are only possible through the extra bandwidth switching to 64-bit affords us, those of you running on a 32-bit OS & purchasing the game will receive the original 32-bit version, which will of course update automatically should you ever move to a 64-bit OS at a future point.

In addition any DLCs that you have previously purchased (or may purchase in future) will obviously also function in the 64-bit version and all save games & previously obtained Steam achievements will also transfer from the 32-bit version to 64-bit version.

All the best!
The Risen 3: Titan Lords Team

I thought it was no questions asked. Oh well, still in the clear.

Yes, but if you're doing 20+ refunds in a year, they'll start to think you're attempting to game the system. Research your shit and only refund broken shit.

That's all good advice. I'm way too impulsive + Steam sales.

The thing is I haven't played a lot of games in the past 5 years and missed out on a lot when I was younger, so I'm trying to test the waters with different genres.

Love it when a game manages to surprise me and I want to try new things.

Games in my library I really liked: Hotline Miami, Metro: LL, South Park, Tomb Raider, Dishonored, Wolfenstein: New Order, Banished, Rust

Older games I really liked: Bully, MGS3, Resident Evil 4, Harvest Moon 64, Red Dead, Paper Mario, Mass Effect, Halo PC, World at War

Not a lot of RPGs, but hell, I may wind up loving Witcher 3 or Fallout: NV :yeshrug

This is what I'm working with:

Pick a game bruhs. I need some escapism right now and I'm sperging on Rocket League too much.

Ready to commit. Let's do this :gun

Quote
This isn’t actually as random as it sounds! A rep from GungHo Online Entertainment, the company that published Grandia II Anniversary Edition, explained it to me:

“The VMS file format is the same file format used by the original Dreamcast console. Because the Anniversary Edition is based off the original Dreamcast code, we also write and read to the VMS save file format within the data/save file directory. This allows the player to import their own VMS save files that can be downloaded from any Dreamcast community websites like Blue Swirl.”

“Also, since Dreamcast emulators also use VMS save files, they can also bring any of their personal save files over from their emulator and continue on within the Anniversary Edition. Any Grandia II VMS save file will work. This allows the Grandia community to share VMS save files easily between their friends & fanbase regardless of platform.”

If you buy a game that is new (read: Not on Steam sale), don't care about the badge and get your cards done in 2-7 hours on launch, you can literally sell them for $1-5 on launch.

Same with Animu titles, which hold above $.50 generally because there is a higher demand there than "trash" fodder that has thousands of cards in the economy.

It's like the stock market, you get in. Ride the "rise" (get the cards before others) and cash out (sell them) before the stock crashes (cards are flooding the market).

I'm apparently benjipwns on GOG, shocking I know. There's a recurring bug that keeps coming and going in Galaxy, if you find that your keyboard doesn't work after running Galaxy. Just hit the right Alt button twice.

They've "fixed" the bug three times now. :lol

It's kinda amusing to watch them develop this thing as they go though, especially with Steam sitting here as an obvious kind of blueprint. Galaxy had nowhere to indicate how much HD space a game would take up if installed nor how much the download would be for months, I think there's like a 150 page thread on their forums about it.  :lol

Reminds me of watching Origin develop until EA was just like "fuck it." I'm glad I'll be able to forever see dead games like Need for Speed World or the three Battlefield Hardline Betas or four copies of Peggle I somehow got in my library.

Yeah is there any way to look at the game extras from in the client?  I know you can look at the manuals but I can't figure out how to look at stuff like maps or other bonus extras.

I got my steam controller in today, played pretty good on 8bitboy though it seemed to conflict with the system default of emulating a keyboard and mouse. To fully use the goddamn thing you have to use big picture mode, I turned 8bit boy in desktop mode first then switched to big picture to try to fix it tough still had that weird conflict when it worked correctly it worked like a champ ymmv.

Tried to play umehara, christ that was awkward.

Played some KOF 98, used the stick as the dpad, threw hao-kens like nobodys business tried to emulate the dpad on the track pad.  :kobeyuck

Actually, I found the D-pad to be REALLY good if you fuck around with the dead-zones. Maybe it's just me, but you get a more responsive (and doubled-up) input from that. Seems that double-input may be a bug but you could use it to your advantage against stick players and completely own them. Problem for me is that the A/B/X/Y and other buttons for six button fighters are just awkwardly placed. But if someone 3D prints and hardware mods the controller (something Valve is looking forward to/endorses (http://www.pcworld.com/article/2993499/software-games/valve-wants-you-to-mod-the-steam-controller.html)) the left touch-pad/D-pad could be REALLY good with a hori-sized button layout or something on an expanded arcade-stick sort of layout maybe.

:yeshrug That's just me dicking around for 30 mins with it though in Street Fighter 4. YMMV.

If this gets out of early access and gets cheap enough, I'll check it out. It might be cool. But I don't expect it to reach those lofty "muh realism" goals or even get out of early access.

I know they're starting at the first one for continuity sake, but this is like starting with Street Fighter 1 on steam.  The gameplay has advanced so far after a dozen entries in the main series and spin-offs, it's kind of boring to play the original at this point.

Actually scratch that, starting with La Pucelle would be Street Fighter 1.  This is like starting with SF2 regular edition.

Do you like big numbers? If yes, you'll be in for a treat. The main game/story can be beaten easily. But the real meat of the series is the "grind" to make better characters to beat the post game (read: Baal) stuff.

Basically just wait a year or two now.  Which is fine if most of them are gonna end up in your backlog and never gonna be played anyways.

I'm sure it's worth it as I've heard it's good, but didn't know games could raise their price coming out of early access.  I always thought they lowered it, so I usually wait until the game actually gets done and released.

The few I've paid attention to all gave "discounts" for buying in early. Kerbal, I think did for example. Went up to $30 at launch.

Of course, there's a lot of Early Access Forever stuff out there...

I don't know if the money breakdown is different, aka Valve gets more or less % of Early Access purchases.

Nah, this sale is even better than the thanksgiving sale and that one was pretty good.  I cut my wishlist from 80 or so games down to like 30 between the two sales.  Lots of stuff 66-75% off.  I remember going through a couple of sales without buying much, but these last two have been real good.  Lots of cheap indie stuff, lots of cheap 1-2 year old AAA games, and even the stuff from earlier this year is like 50% off or in Mad Max's case 66%.

I'd pick up Frozen Synapse if you're into tactical planning games. It's pretty interesting and $2.50 isn't anything to sneeze at for it. (There's a demo? IIRC. The remake by Sony is on the store as well and it has a bit better presentation. But the multiplayer for that is DEAD DEAD DEAD and while Frozen Synapse's multiplayer isn't very "alive" it's better than the Prime release)

Also get Civlization 5 + Expansions. :doge

There's also Hotline Miami 1/2 and Faster than Light: FTL that I'd recommend.

Not that I'd ever want to replay the game, but I'm guessing it's based on the PS2 version so 30fps?  If so, it'll be interesting to see if people can unlock it to 60fps like Zestiria.

I'd get it on Steam sale if I didn't have like 100+ titles on Steam already that I need to get around to playing. :lol Maybe if they fix it, otherwise I'm not fussed. It's whatever.

It's never been "confirmed." Square said they would "look into" it but never outright said it was going to PC. But the smoke was there (FF13 ports, previous FF ports. Hell even FF9 getting a PC port now despite never having one in the past) for the fire to be found. Them hiding it in the web page code for their webpage just means it's a matter of when not if they're going to confirm it now.

Is it better to buy classic games on GOG instead of Steam?

Seems like some Steam versions don't run well on newer PCs.

Also, any recs for older (say mid 90s to mid 2000s) PC games?

Not interested in RPGs or RTS games because I have a goldfish attention span.
Title: Re: The Bore Steam Thread :monocle
Post by: Rufus on February 06, 2016, 03:26:25 PM
The GOG versions sometimes come with mods and fan patches already integrated. Other than that I don't really know. I would check either platform's forums. Better yet, go straight to pcgamingwiki.com, which will inform you of differences, what issues the games have, how to resolve them, troubleshooting tips and such. It's a very good resource.

As far as recommendations go, /v/ (used to?) maintain a wiki. Here's the PC section: http://vsrecommendedgames.wikia.com/wiki/PC
The lists are not exhaustive, but there's usually a good spread of genres with a vaguely illustrative blurb and a link to a store. Not always up to date though. For impressions, it's safer to go to Youtube and watch someone play. For issues, cross-reference with pcgamingwiki.com.
Title: Re: The Bore Steam Thread :monocle
Post by: thisismyusername on February 06, 2016, 05:32:48 PM
Steam is generally a straight up dump of the "last" official release of the game. GoG generally tries to fix it up for past-Windows Millennium Edition era OS's and throws in stuff like expansions for free. That said, Ghost Recon classic doesn't have the expansions on GoG while on Steam you get them there and can only use them for the Steam version. So it can be a bit of a toss-up depending on which version you buy. :lol

Though AFAIK most ports now a days that are released generally will have the "GoG fixes" in the Steam release. I think System Shock and Total Annihilation do that. YMMV though.

Finally got around to installing American Truck Simulator and drove from LA to San Diego since being an hour south of LA I'm incredibly familiar with LA->SD strip of freeways.

Really disappointed!!!  Like...what's in the game is absolutely nothing like the real world  :lol  It's not even a sense of scale, or the fact that everything between LA and San Deigo (aka where I live) is completely missing and just a strip of freeway with some hotels for 10 mins between the two.  But freeways weren't even anything like they are.  There's all these plants and stuff and it looks like somewhere in Kansas or something.  And then Los Angeles city and San Diego city are like...4 streets.

Uh, yeah.  I like this series, but I actually thought they were somewhat authentic like Flight Simulator at mapping out real world geography to drive along.  I thought since the graphics were fairly primitive they could put large landmasses and roads based on google maps and real world roads.  But if European Truck Simulator is anything like American Truck Simulator, it's totally bogus.  It's like a fantasy game world that has a few things styled off the real world.  I mean GTAV is 100x more accurate LA area than this.

I didn't expect exact 1:1 of where I lived in California, but I didn't expect something that's nothing like it either.  :|

Formerly "Umbra," a new CryEngine arpg. Steam early acess March 24th.

Really liking the resurgence we're seeing in the arpg genre. Grim Dawn seems to be doing well, Path of Exile is doing great, and a few others are in the pipeline like Lost Ark.

My dream arpg would be something as large/expansive as Skyrim. So many arpgs kinda get stuck recycling 3-4 area types (desert act, jungle act, haunted forest act, etc) that I'd love to see something that just gives you a big ass diverse world. Mix in tight controls/responsiveness and endless customization...

According to Reddit, Valve is replacing all the DirectX/Visual C++/etc. redistributables apparently. Instead of being in each individual game folder, Steam will handle them centrally. Except, then Steam redownloads them all when they're found missing.

So, enjoy a whole bunch of 0 byte and then 100+MB updates in your queue for everything!

Especially you, Joe.

Post by: benjipwns on April 14, 2016, 02:18:07 AM
Yeah, now it does well at picking up the games if they already exist. It seems to be more on the developer for when it doesn't work.

I'm going off copying the files from one drive/computer to another and then doing verify files/installing the game and letting it find the existing files.

Been looking for the thrill? Then you've come to the right place! Here is a terrifying survival simulator of an abandoned hospital with elements of horror, which will keep you in suspense throughout the game! Insanity Clicker is a time-killer game full of horror and fear that will make you tremble in a couple minutes!

Imagine: you are alone, the sounds of heads and fists beating behind the bare walls around you can be heard even through them... What's going on here?! First thoughts: I want to get out of here as quickly as possible, but... Am I strong enough?
 
One click, two clicks - and you're not so weak and vulnerable as you were a moment ago! More clicks, more power! Hitting the wall becomes automatic with time! The one has to be hardy, need to adapt to this place. Pills, mutagens - consume everything you need to stay sane! But they also have to be found somewhere, so clench your fists and step into the unknown!

Still not scared? Then we got tell you about the inhabitants. Maniacs, madmen and mutants – are just a small part of the population of this place. And now the most interesting part - each of them is ready to eat you alive, tear you up into pieces or just kill by the injection of a deadly vaccine. Yeah, deranged former doctors of the hospital will also join the party!

soon all game genre's will be clickers  :rejoice

A small threesome of experimental games about male sexuality (Hurt Me Plenty, Succulent, and Stick Shift) about punishing, eating, and driving.

These small short games attempt to expand eroticism in games beyond a cutscene and fade-to-black. What if sex in games was something we performed as players, instead of something we obtained? What might sex mechanics look like? How can we convey intimacy in games? That's what Radiator 2 tries to explore.

GRAPHICS: This game certainly has a lot of them
AVERAGE RUNTIME: 10-45 minutes total, it's up to you
CONTROLS: Mouse or trackpad, most gamepads supported
SUBTLETY: Not much
MORE GAY STUFF BY ROBERT YANG: http://debacle.us/

Hurt Me Plenty: a short game where you spank the heck out of a dude and learn about how BDSM communities formalize consent / caring. Progress through negotiation, play, and aftercare, with your AI-controlled partner. Music by Liz Ryerson.

Succulent: a short interactive music video game thing where you help a hunk enjoy a delicious shapely treat. It's pretty straightforward, really. (Now featuring new stunning immersive "cheek physics" technology!) Music is "Waste" by Arca, used with permission.

Stick Shift: an autoerotic night-driving game about pleasuring a gay car. This game is a bit difficult and requires some finesse with timing, but it has a huge video tutorial and cosplay community, just search "how to drive stick shift" on YouTube. Music is "Crybaby" by Davey and the Chains, used with permission.

**********

Q: I've played these games before. What's new?
A: Hurt Me Plenty has been substantially re-designed. In general though, it's mostly improved shaders and HDR lighting with HD skin effects and hair physics. There's also gamepad support and text localization for several languages.

Q: How much nudity is in this game?
A: It is possible to witness some bare butts, and sometimes the characters are in their underwear, but otherwise there is no "full frontal" or anything. If this were a movie, it would be rated PG-13.

Q: Will playing this game turn me gay?
A: Yes.

That one's maybe by some gaijin, but a lot of the :uguu games on Steam are actually maybe by Japanese people.

For example, Zero Time Dilemma is coming out on Steam tomorrow.

Been playing Conception II on Steam for the past couple of days. It's an alright dungeon-crawler/dating-sim, basically a Persona-lite. It's totally animu to the core, though, not that I particularly have a problem with that.

Anyway, it's good to see more Japanese games get released on Steam, even if a lot of them take a few years to get there.

Cyan's new adventure game [Obduction] is finally out today:

http://store.steampowered.com/app/306760/

Quote from: AV Club
Obduction succeeds in almost everything it sets out to do in its 10 to 20 hours of play. It succeeds in the way it tells its lightly sketched, emotionally evocative story. It succeeds in its goal of presenting authentic-feeling alien worlds. But when it comes to providing players fair, satisfying challenges and the epiphanies that they crave, Obduction doesn’t just succeed; it triumphs and proves itself a worthy successor to the Myst name.

I agree. Someone that works for Sega, please put an icon on this game. It needs one in the recently opened programs menu too. Usually when the icon is placed in the library menu, it is forgotten there (the recently opened programs menu); Batman Arkham City didn't have one for a while after release. It doesn't even have the small one at the upper left, yet on the store page. What happened here?

I've heard forever that Muv Luv is some great VN with MECHA, but $28 nah I've waited 10 years to give a shit, I can wait a couple more until it's $10.
Darius Burst CS has never gone below $25 in like the year since it's been released, which is kinda crazy.  I dig Darius, so I'll play this one for sure, but c'mon, get under $20 already!

Otherwise, yeah Cave stuff is good, but I haven't felt the need to double-dip yet while my X360 versions still work.  Eventually I'll replace them all with PC versions.  Also the CAVE games released so far aren't my favorites though I love Death Smiles.  When they released Mushime Futari or Akai Katana I'll jump in.

Larry the Cable Guy brings a truckload of one-liners to his role as a big-city health inspector, happily going from greasy-spoon diners to low-rent ethnic restaurants. But his easygoing life gets turned upside-down when he's teamed with a stiff, straitlaced rookie partner (Iris Bahr) and assigned the biggest case of his career: investigating food poisoning at the city's swankiest restaurants. When his bad manners and unorthodox methods cost him his job, Larry is forced to go undercover to bring the conspirators to justice and "Git-R-Done!"

Why is there not like a major article about how this movie came to exist? There was that huge one about James Gunn and Lindsey Lohan's weird movie with Brett Easton Ellis. How does it not have a directors commentary?

Larry the Cable Guy is just a phony who tries to be as redneck as can be. He's admitted that his whole act is a fake.

Saw Nippon Ichi's Yomawari came out today on Steam.  Almost picked it up on Vita last time I was in Japan.  I heard it's sort of cool, sort of not great.


Also, should I jump in on Superhot at $15?  Everyone sure was raving about this.  I don't really need anymore games to play this year, but $15 seems like an alright price and it probably won't go much further or be in any humble bundles for another year at least.

Eh, I cancelled Berserk Musou (looks bad and marketing is gross) and didn't buy World of FF, so might as well use some of that money I saved on a good game like Superhot and supporting N1's indie titles, so picked up Yomawari in the bundle with Firefly Diaries for $15/each and Superhot for $15.  Good times.

My 20 min experience with yomawari is that it's a ps1 survival horror game aka janky & frustrating but somehow compelling and why you like the genre (if you like the genre) because of its odd non-conformity to gaming standards that just makes it more weird, creepy & unique.

i think it has something to do with how they prioritize which steam servers to connect to and what happens after an action completes

it's actually been like this for various features for a while

for a period the workshop just didn't plain work right in the client because of how it would redirect after an action, but was fine in any browser because it wouldn't run the redirect code

The best right now is 5 with all the expansion (6 is awesome, but it needs some patches and more playable civs)
Easiest to learn is Civ Revolution on PS3 and 360 (basically a PC Civ with stripped down mechanics)

A drifting traveler boards a one-man space shuttle destined for Alpha Centauri. This shuttle is piloted by Budapest, an artificial intelligence program designed to serve humanity. She is a hardworking, diligent program, just a little naïve to the ways of the universe, and intensely dedicated to her directive. But when disaster unexpectedly befalls their ship, the two of them are sent careening through uncharted space, left with dire prospects for rescue.

Stuck in a floating cockpit drifting through the empty ocean of stars, they have only each other to rely on. Between interesting discoveries both old and new, Budapest quickly develops new traits and quirks beyond her programming. As she attempts to navigate her own troubled seas, the passenger discovers that there is more to this program than previously expected.

Also, this isn't on sale but I heard it was good and gotta support those shmups on steam (plus $6.99 is affordable):

Quote
In an unknown location out in the wilderness, a number of pregnant women are being held against their will in a facility in which everything is decorated in the style of a comforting living room to lull the women into a false sense of security so that they believe they’re in a safe spot.

The reality however, is much more hideous...

The women are in fact being monitored by a race of Little evil humanoids dressed head to toe in bright yellow robes. The humanoids want the babies for their heinous experiments, but you, as a mother, see no alternative but to take your own life to save your baby’s soul.

The game will begin with you in a room where you find a tape recorder with a woman’s voice on it, who was the previous inhabitant of the room before you.

The tape is a warning for other women who will be kidnapped, telling them what is going on and that she is going to kill herself before the evil little monsters burst through the door and take her baby.

Now available in cheap bundle format from your friends at groupees: https://groupees.com/incursion

What's the appeal of this game?  It always looked so basic and devoid of animation in battles.  And it's also censored on Steam.

If this is the original game, it's actually designed and directed by Kazuya Niinou who created/directed Etrian Odyssey, The Last Ranker, 7th Dragon, FFXIV 2.0 Quest Design, and Dragon Quest Builders.  So yeah, he's pretty good at making good gameplay games.  Because of that, it's a pretty solid dungeon crawler combat-wise and the story is actually sorta decent about all these dead people and their tragic stories of how they died iirc.  The perv stuff is very unfortunate, but if you can get past that it was a fun little low budget dungeon crawler for its time on psp.  If this is the sequel, it's by someone else and don't know much about it.

The game, FEMINAZI: The Triggering does not intend to offend, insult or oppress people of any gender, sexuality, nationality or culture. We've made sure to be respectful, while having fun and poking fun. All characters and features in-game are only for the purpose of making a fun and enjoyable game experience. This game, the developers and publisher, in no way condone racism, sexism or any type of hate speech. This game represents a parody of the 'Third wave feminism' (also known as Neo-feminism) and the SJW generation. A generation that claims to be oppressed by everything. A generation that thinks every innocent flirt is sexist, every joke is racist and everything they don’t like is hate speech.

The offended generation, we don’t hate you. We don’t like you either. But we can make fun of you. We can make parodies of your behaviour. We believe that, in order to fight against something that you don’t like – you create content. You don’t censor it. We believe in creation and free speech, not destruction and censorship. That’s why we've worked on this game. If you believe this game should not exist because it offends you, you might want to check your privilege.

Fuck right off, dickbag shitweasels. Wanting to be free from the threat of sexual violence, or to earn equal pay, or have the same freedoms (law-derived or otherwise) is not threatening your existence. At least be honest about feeling threatened and wanting to belittle your mothers and sisters.

Planetarian was alright.  It's kinda boring like all visual novels but has a nice setting and hook to it (military guy in the post-apocalypse stumbles upon a planterium with its last functioning robot that doesn't realize the world has ended) and the music is good.  It's also pretty short for VN standards at like 5-7 hours.
Clannad is super boring, at least going by the anime.  I used to be a KEY fan because I like their depressing fucked up stories and Clannad was the only one I never made it through.  I heard after story (the 2nd half of the game) gets good, but it was such a slog.

Black Desert Online is now on steam and selling for $6. It's a quality sandbox MMO with a ton if interlocked and intergrated systems. It looks beautiful if you're rig can run it, but it does have a lot of drawn in to compensate.

Payday 2 is currently free on Steam for the first 5 million copies. http://store.steampowered.com/app/218620/PAYDAY_2/

I knew lots of people who were playing that a while ago and then there was the kerfuffle about them selling dlc content when they said they never would and everyone hated them and then they stopped doing that? Think that was Payday 2.
Title: Re: The Bore Steam Thread :monocle
Post by: toku on June 09, 2017, 02:51:18 PM
Yeah Payday 2 was cool for a bit but they went too overboard with the DLC plus made some bad balance calls.

To give you an idea of how dlc crazy they got, I own about half of the paid dlc that was out and to celebrate this free give away/upcoming ultimate edition, they had all dlc on sale for 85% off for like the last two weeks. I had a cart with all the dlc i didn't own, and even though they all ranged from 50/70 cents to at most a buck and some change my total still came out to something like 16 dollars  :lol

I know at least a handful of key staffers dipped too after the first year or two to start their own dev studio. They used to have one of the writers from Bad Company 2 and one of the designers responsible for BF3/BC2 gunplay.

Biggest problem with the game for me was stealth runs just aren't as fun as the stand offs but they're way more profitable and then they decreased how much money you made...and heists cost to launch.

The 100+ hours i put into it with goons were great tho, no regrats

We’re talking about 1.3M PC gamers that could fall into definition of “core gamer that buys several games per year”. And that’s including discounted games as well.

Of course we could extend it to, I don’t know, “softcore gamers” — the 20% that own 88% games. To be included you’d have to own 4 (FOUR) games or more on Steam — not exactly a huge number, right?

The official way to get backgrounds is by obtaining all the cards in a particular game and then crafting a badge [doing this nets you an emoticon and a background]. But you can just go on the marketplace and buy whichever ones you want, although I'm not sure if you need to own the game or not.

I hear ya. I'm just burnt out on D3 after thousands of hours of gameplay.  :doge

PoE has a new expansion with six new acts launching in about a month (right around the same time as the Necro character pack, probably) that will remove the need to play through the same content on multiple difficulties. I'm gonna play it through then and see if I can get into the endgame at all.

I liked Grim Dawn a lot, but it suffers from the same issue that PoE used to- having to play the same content on multiple difficulties, which I just feel is bad, retrograde game design. A shame, too, because the core gameplay in Grim Dawn is probably better than PoE, but that's life.
Title: Re: The Bore Steam Thread :monocle
Post by: Valkyrie on June 20, 2017, 02:07:27 AM
They all seem like great games, but not really interesting enough to get into if you've had a taste of one of them (aka played too much).

Same with Torchlight. I used to play the first a lot, then Diablo 3 came, which honestly kinda ruined Torchlight II for me. Great game though.
Really hope we get Portal 3 eventually. The first two were amazing games. I was very late to the partynwith Portal 2 and didn't get to try the multiplayer until earlier this year. Wow, it was so much fun! But I need more of it. :3

Got the steam link on sale and I'm surprised how well it works. I'm connected via lan and powerline, and the lag is barely noticeable. Even WLan would be okay for role-playing games. Only issue performance wise is that some more taxing games seem to run a bit worse. Dunno why, maybe the streaming is using up some performance. Or maybe framerate issues are just more noticeable on the bigger screen.

Hopped into Team Fortress 2 for really the first time in probably two years a couple days ago.

First of all, got matchmade into a 2FORT CTF game because of course I did. What else should I have expected. :lol

Second of all, oh. my. god. what has happened to this beautiful visual design what is even going on what are these weapons is this stuff cosmetic or what.

After five minutes of feeling lost and useless had slipped back into my medic instincts like I'd never left. Was downing people with the blutsager, saw people clearly not knowing what to do with a medic switching off a heal to saw down a spy or scout, was climbing up the scoreboard like nothing. Switched over to Demoman because we had nothing for offense and after a few minutes on that was back into him, sentries were no longer being allowed to be placed in open locations or near walls I could use, this one soldier was entirely flabbergasted by me detonating stickies in mid-air especially if they came out as crits, which I used to use all the time. Then I bottled him for good measure. It was like when I visited DoD:S briefly a few years ago for some reason and got tore up but then suddenly my BAR/STG44 had shaken the dust off and there were bodies to be dropped.

Then I got a bunch of XP at the end. Ha! XP! Towards cosmetic rewards and a crate! Oh, Team Fortress 2. We'll always have the class update days I suppose.

Maybe I'll play some more if I play any Overwatch and feel totally useless to the team no matter what I do, no matter what accolade I get or even involvement in PLAY OF THE GAME. (It is kinda odd that many "infamous" Overwatch people don't seem to have been TF2ers? They came from DOTA or something instead. Maybe it's just ones I'm familiar with.)

Almost ten years old. October 10, 2007. So it's been out longer than it was in development!

http://store.steampowered.com/app/587100/Ys_SEVEN/

Pretty good so far, has a lot of the classic Ys gameplay but with a bit more of a modern touch than the ones released in the years prior. Also, Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of DANA is out in about 10 days.

mess with your fov? or at least keep that in mind when you're playing. There's a feel to it and your fov can screw with it. Like at max, enemies will look and feel further away than they actually art. Weapon you're using matters as well.

either it better be hidden somewhere in the game or they really fucked shit up by not having the mad click/tap part be beating the printer, though then i'd be disappointed in lack of the music anyway

the "reboot" mechanic is milton burning down the office

this looks like it got a ton of development resources for a clicker/idler game, it's way better thought out with the multi-tiering than AdVenture Communist for example, also what a weird thing to license

there is so much stuff to spend real money on in the game it's crazy, and no i don't want to know what these games make

edit: oh i see in the screenshots you later get to beat up the printer, excellent

Fuck I was about the pull the trigger on the steam link too, I find the steam controller comfortable to play with which is surprising because it looks awkward as fuck, the shiny plasticy shit scratches easily and it feels like i'm going to break the damn thing ymmv.

I have two steam controllers... I’ve been forcing myself to use them for Shadow of War.

It’s not terrible, but it’s hard for me to argue that it is better than an an xbox controller too. It feels really good if you find something that can utilize dual inputs (like mouse with joystick) but the other compromises are not so great.

I also find it a little less comfortable than a regular ass controller.

So, I’m mixed on it... it is serviceable in a pinch however.

I think you definitely need to pick something low difficulty and stick with it to get the feel of it. That’s why I’m rocking it in shadow of war. I tried to play half life 2 with it when I first got it and was having a horrible go of it.

(It doesn’t help that Half Life 2 is a garbage game.)

These days I hardly buy anything until the Winter sale. The 3 sales are so close together and half the time the game I buy in Halloween/Thanksgiving is like another 5-10% cheaper by Winter and I haven't even installed it yet.

Then again I finally kicked the habit of buying dozens/hundreds of steam games and never playing them this year. All it took was joining an MMO and never having time/interest to play anything else on Steam! :P

Game developer Dharker Studio revealed in a Steam forum post last Saturday that it received notification from Valve that the company no longer allows links to uncensor patches for games posted on Steam. These patches restore adult content that has been censored in the game in order for the game to comply with Steam's content rules.

:comeon

Who are they foolin'? People will just make a subtle guide to link it and people will find it through that instead of the forums. If the company themselves are pointing folks to it, Valve only have themselves to blame for allowing them on the store "censored" in the first place.

Ever dreamed about having furry beast men hanging around with you? What if they are gods in your childhood bedtime stories? This visual novel gives you a chance to play a young man whose dream has come true, but also gets him deeply involved in the consequences.

Although he was born within a religious family, college student Lin Tian-Liao has never thought about meeting three feline spirits.

It's never bad to have three lovely guys around, but life must be going on. Knowing his humdrum life has gone forever, Liao still don't know what his future holds. However, his story with three big cats has already began.

With his third eye accidentally opened, Liao can now see spirits that used to be invisible to him. However, their requests force Liao to decide for his future life. Lin Hu, the tiger patron god of Lin family wants Liao to go back home after his graduation. Likulau, a clouded leopard spirit from an Aboriginal Taiwanese tribe finds Liao is a good candidate for the tribe oracle. And Yan Shu-Chi, who is a colleague of Liao but now being possessed by a leopard cat spirit, is trying to get help from Liao to rejuvenate a countryside temple. Before Liao could understand what’s going on, his brand new daily life is already on the track.

Surprisingly, these gods appear from nowhere are not fuddy-daddy as Liao thought, letting him rethink the positive side of folk belief in the modern society. However, his course schedule doesn’t allow him to thoroughly interpret the traditional culture, and now it’s time for you to help him getting his decision.

I continue to fuck around with the steam controller, trying to use it to play through wolfenstein II.

It’s serviceable but I feel like I’m trying to learn how to use a Dvorak keyboard. Like I recognize it’s probably better once you get fully used to it, I’m not sure it’s better enough to be worth the effort of abandoning something you already know how to use well.

That said, I think steam should make a version with a dpad, two sticks, and 6 face buttons. It would be very popular.

The best/worst part of it is definitely the gyro. I can see how this can make you a lot better once you get used to it, but I have 20 years of muscle memory that tells me that shifting my arms around doesn’t matter when playing video games and it’s like yet one more th No to concentrate on.

Shadow Tactics $20 is pretty good range,

Very few games on my wishlist under $10

"They are billions" release (as EA) today. Before that it was only available for backers.

So, finally tried They Are Billions.

Got my ass kicked in 5mins on the first try :lol

It's pretty neat. Learning curve is pretty steep and there is a fairly substantial rng factor, but I can easily see myself spending quite a few hours on the game.
It's only "Survival mode" for now, but they'll add a campaign later.

Pricing is decent (£20 so I assume $20 for you muhricans) and there is 10% off for now as it just launched. If you like the genre (although it's a bit of a blend between RTS/Tower Defense /Sim genres), I definitely recommend.

Or you could just play Quake 3: Arena which would no doubt be superior.

...Which is basically what I was saying: Might as well just play Q3A instead of Quake Champions which is inferior.

Slay the Spire (http://store.steampowered.com/app/646570/Slay_the_Spire/)

Slay the Spire is a deckbuilding roguelite that I've been interested in recently. I've been watching one of my favorite Youtubers play it, and I decided to pick it up myself. It's Early Access, but it's been in development for two years according to the dev and the current build is fairly robust. The jist of it is that you start out with a very basic deck of attacks and defends and then you move through combat and events, adding cards or removing cards from you deck one at a time to get stronger, along with finding relics that give you passive benefits. The game is structured around a map that shows you all of the floors in the current area. Each area has 18 floors (plus an end boss), and can be one of several types: enemy, elite enemy, merchant, rest, treasure, or unknown. The Unknown locations can be one of any of the other room types or a random event. Some events will give you a relic or a card or money, some let you trade some of your resources for other resources, and occasionally you might get one that's just straight up bad.

(https://i.imgur.com/zOCcPF1.jpg?1)

Combat is turn-based and card-based. Each turn you draw a hand of cards and are given 3 energy to play whichever cards you want (relics and card effects can increase the amount of energy you have). Energy costs on cards range from 0 to 3. You draw 5 cards each turn and then play the ones you want, and then pass the turn to your enemy. All of your cards, played and unplayed, go into your discard pile. You continue to draw a fresh hand of cards every turn until your draw pile is empty, and then your discard pile is reshuffled and becomes your draw pile. The exception are Exhausted cards. Exhaust is the equivalent of Exile in Magic the Gathering, these cards are effectively removed from the game until the end of the match. Cards with Exhaust generally have more powerful effects that normal cards, with the drawback being that you can generally only use them once per combat. Some cards also have the ability to exhaust other cards.

(https://i.imgur.com/ztj9Oqb.jpg?1)

When you start the game, you're given a basic deck filled with Strikes ("Deal 6 damage to target creature") and Defends ("Gain 6 block"). Damage works exactly as you'd expect, Block absorbs that much damage for that turn and then any remaining Block is removed at the end of the turn. From there, the cards increase in complexity, although they're all very easy to understand and divided into 4 types: Attacks, Skills, Powers, and Curses. Attacks attack (duh). Skills are defensive cards and all other utility cards (card draw, buffs/debuffs, etc). Powers are the equivalent of Enchantments in Magic the Gathering, the give you passive benefits that last for the current match. Curses are bad; they can either be put into your deck until end of combat or permanently (until you can remove them) are dead cards in your hand that also sometimes do bad stuff to you when you have them in your end (deal damage to you, debuff you, etc).

(https://i.imgur.com/Ws7Eotv.jpg?1)

Combat continues until you or your enemy are dead. It's a roguelite, so death is permanent of course, but there are things to unlock and randomized relics and cards to find on every run. The crux of the game is risk vs. reward. Do you fight an elite enemy and possibly take a lot of damage to get a guaranteed relic that could be a powerful passive effect you need for your build? Do you go to the campsite instead and regain XP to stay alive longer? The Unknown rooms are interesting because the range from really good to kinda bad with lots of options in between. The Campsites also give you an interesting choice, you can either rest to regain XP or upgrade a card in your deck to make it stronger. The merchant sells cards, relics, and potions (one-time use effects that can be used at any time and don't cost energy). They also sell the ability to remove cards from your deck, which is good from getting rid of curses and underperforming cards.

(https://i.imgur.com/xqwFaHM.jpg?1)

Boss fights, at least at the moment, are extremely difficult and you will not win a run with a half-assed deck. Some decent play or a little luck will get you past the first floor, but it's very possible (indeed likely) that you'll get to the 2nd or 3rd boss and be unable to win with your currently constructed deck, no matter how optimally you play or how much RNGsus blesses you. Bosses are random, and are strong or weak to different strategies that you can't possibly know ahead of time, so you could just be screwed. You may like this or you may not, I'm having fun trying different things and seeing what works. Even a losing run gets you closer to more unlocks.

I saw this and was like "hey, that looks like the kind of game I'd like to make if I had $$$ to make a game and wanted to make a Shadow Hearts 1-esque jrpg"
Then I watched the video and THEY USE THE RING FROM SHADOW HEARTS FOR ATTACKS.

I think this game was made by my long lost soul brother. My dream game (aka if I won the lottery I'd fund it) has always been a PS2 style jrpg by the ex-Shadow Hearts staff with the spinning ring and the SH musician). Major props to this indie game cause it looks like they're going for that kinda feel. It even has fishing mini-games!

Finally had my first winning run in Slay the Spire. It was with a defense-heavy deck that used Barricade to build up defense over multiple turns, and Body Slam as a finisher (it deals 1 dmg per defense you currently have). I dealt over 120 damage with a single Body Slam to one of the final bosses (he only had 250 HP) and I don't think I ever even took damage.  :punch

For now, the game ends when you reach the Heart of the Spire (it's still in Early Access) and you do X damage to the heart based on the strength of your run maybe? I dunno, but then it how much damage has been done total by all players. Presumably, you'll eventually be able to defeat the heart, but for now it's just kind of a placeholder.

Warning that this really isn't that good of a game.  The other Senrans at least have some substance to go with all the boobage but this one just doesn't work all that well- there's some bad weapon balance, all of the characters are the same (it's a shooter so they're all just skins) and online is awful on PS4.  Maybe the latter will be better on PC.

are those using Denuvo? apparently there was some thing where after it got cracked finally, they wanted to renegotiate licenses for the fixed version and companies weren't bothering to update because it was still taking for a few days to weeks after release for cracks to be available

it uses some kind of multi-trigger system which is why it's also been easy for companies to remove from games with a simple patch, and i guess after the first trigger is found all it takes is time, so if games leak early they could be cracked before release

For those of you not caught up yet, there's been an .exe "leak" of a developer version. That means there will be no Denuvo. No need to crack anything since it's absent. Not bypassed, ABSENT! -- At least that's how I understood it looking over at CS.RIN.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CduA0TULnow

Square is so goddamn incompetent. :neogaf

The last time a developer build leaked was when Dark Souls 1 had it accidentally uploaded (but the game was updated promptly after to where the developer build couldn't play with the retail/non-developer build), people uploaded that .exe to be used around the internet. I'm not sure if the same will work in FF15 case, but if so: Hoo, boy. DRM fail.

SteamOS, Linux, and Steam Machines
We've noticed that what started out as a routine cleanup of the Steam Store navigation turned into a story about the delisting of Steam Machines. That section of the Steam Store is still available, but was removed from the main navigation bar based on user traffic. Given that this change has sparked a lot of interest, we thought it'd make sense to address some of the points we've seen people take away from it.

While it's true Steam Machines aren't exactly flying off the shelves, our reasons for striving towards a competitive and open gaming platform haven't significantly changed. We're still working hard on making Linux operating systems a great place for gaming and applications. We think it will ultimately result in a better experience for developers and customers alike, including those not on Steam.

Through the Steam Machine initiative, we've learned quite a bit about the state of the Linux ecosystem for real-world game developers out there. We've taken a lot of feedback and have been heads-down on addressing the shortcomings we observed. We think an important part of that effort is our ongoing investment in making Vulkan a competitive and well-supported graphics API, as well as making sure it has first-class support on Linux platforms.

Recently we announced Vulkan availability for macOS and iOS, adding to its existing availability for Windows and Linux. We also rolled out Steam Shader Pre-Caching, which will let users of Vulkan-based applications skip shader compilation on their local machine, significantly improving initial load times and reducing overall runtime stuttering in comparison with other APIs. We'll be talking more about Shader Pre-Caching in the coming months as the system matures.

At the same time, we're continuing to invest significant resources in supporting the Vulkan ecosystem, tooling and driver efforts. We also have other Linux initiatives in the pipe that we're not quite ready to talk about yet; SteamOS will continue to be our medium to deliver these improvements to our customers, and we think they will ultimately benefit the Linux ecosystem at large.

In general, and if you have any questions or feedback on the topics above, feel free to reach out to me at pgriffais@valvesoftware.com.

Thanks!

Nothing game breaking I hope.

I remember getting MGS Revengeance on a steam sale and it crashed after the intro. Made me a bit cautious with Platinums PC ports.

Didn't have any problems with crashing, the main thing was that it wouldn't display certain resolutions properly in full screen so I had to download a third-party mod to work around it.

also that counts everything on steam that's f2p (even if it's gone like HAWKEN) because i ran that script that automatically adds everything free on the store to your account a few times over the years

From the articles I read they said there would a full purchase option, but also the ability to play free with a single character if players want, with some kind of in-game currency obtainable through play that can 'rent' champions if they choose the free play option.

Soon you’ll be able to enjoy your entire Steam library of games on your mobile device. No that’s not a typo. Well, sorry, it is a typo - Steam will actually be available on mobile devices plus devices running Android TV and your Apple TV.

Anything that runs iOS and Android, basically.

It’s all thanks to a new Steam Link app that Valve just announced. The app will be available on Android (phone, tablet, TV) and iOS-based (iPhone, iPad, Apple TV) devices, and will allow you to play games from your Steam library while connected via 5Ghz network or wired via Ethernet to a Mac or PC.

cool, I guess? What's the point though, making the huge assumption that it's actually gonna be playable?

Taking your library around the house. People do it with Remote Play on PS3/4 and do it with the Steam Link device already. This is just cutting that hardware middleman in a sense.

Torment is on sale for 60% off this weekend ($18) is it worth it at that price or nah? I'm slogging through Pillars 1 currently, and also have Tyranny and Divinity 2 unplayed in my steam library so not gonna play it anytime soon but if it's worth it at that price I guess I'll buy it.

I really liked Torment. It's less focus on combat and exploration than some of those others, but it's got a pretty good story and lots of weird stuff to look at. Definitely worth $18.

Got to play ROM 2064 on my phone last night using the Steam Link app.  :D  Using just the touch screen though, was nowhere near as fluid and responsive as the SCUMM app though.  :-\  Not too much of a demanding game at all, so my wifi hung in decently.  It was more the principality that made it awesome.  Seems like Steam is a little late to the party with this though.  :doge

So, thanks to Spring Cleaning's free weekend: I've tried out Cities Skylines (seems like a decent SimCity clone, anyone here big up on buying it?) and Tyranny. Tyranny seems interesting, since it's a Character RPG that PC used to have. But I'm not super sure it's worth buying/going through the journey. Anyone have an opinion on it?

I still got the Shadowruns to do before I would even buy it, but if it's recommended I'd put it on the wishlist.

Tsar Putin could not tolerate such lawlessness and took away all the bitcoins, then Trump chased him.
Now your goal is to run away from Trump and collect along the way bitcoins.

None of the scenes you have seen in the trailers and other promotional materials have been censored at all, and the game will feature those on all platforms:

Lesbian and Gay Sex Scenes

Children Heads Exploding
Setting Fire to Martyrs and Demons

Secondly, due to legal issues, we are not going to be able to release the Adult Only patch.

Please bear in mind that leaving this content uncensored would result in the game being banned and us, Madmind Studio, being sued. That would simply lead to the studio being closed.

Kind of damning that they're still licensing the Old World when the Sigmar-ines have been out in the wild for awhile now.

I guess "I'm immortal but I lose a piece of myself every time I die" isn't obviously grimdark enough for PC gamers.

The only problem with that is with the flood of garbage titles on Steam, you could have developers piling up their games with popular tags to try to get more attention, so you end up with a problem that's different but just as bad as the previous system.

It's combat trucking, essentially. Pretty fun, provided you have a bit of a compulsive streak. You do missions for progress, but you also load up on cargo to buy low/sell high for spending money (better/larger trucks or weapons).

pretty much, they put them up for sale every month or two. they also put up the steam link for like 3$ a lot so I'm guessing they're dumping the remaining stock of hardware. altough i recently noticed they both released a stand alone dongle and apparently they work over bluetooth now so you dont actually need it anymore. they still update the software somewhat frequently

I mean they update the firmware and give people more options. If you're expecting a revision to match the 360 controller or whatever: Not gonna happen. If you're talking build quality: Well, may happen but no time any time soon.

Gotta figure they're gonna lose money and then go back on it. I haven't bought any PC games not on Steam for years. Every once and a while I boot up Origin and I'm like "oh, hey that game came out a few years back". If it's not on Steam I don't even realize it's come out and it doesn't exist for me. Pretty sure a lot of PC gamers are like that as well.

The big publishers have been trying to find a way to move away from steam for a few years.

I don’t think Activision is moving away from Steam because of titties. They just don’t want to pay the 30% fee. That said, look how no one cares about PC Destiny 2. Nobody wants to play these shooters on PC.

I wish there was a way to just batch sell all your cards. Individually, it's not worth my time to put up a 9 cent card, but if I could put up 100 cards in a couple mins for a few bucks it might be worth it.

Technically, Ubisoft has tried that. Nobody gave a shit about Uplay, which is why they tie their Steam stuff to it. Because they know they'd sink.

I only buy DICE-games off Origin. Anything that isn't on Steam from them is shit I probably don't care about. Like, I want to play "A Way Out" but since it's forced co-op and I know nobody else with Origin, it's a hard pass. I already own all the DLC for Burnout Paradise on PS3 and it's fucking dumb the non-Remastered PC verison never got the 360 DLC despite showing that it was fucking possible if they fixed the collision detection via the PC modding community.

CoD has been low energy (SAD!) on PC for years. So them moving it to Battle.net only is LOL and will just kill it further.

Still going through the tutorials but it's real fun so far. i suck ass even against the scrub AI enemies though so i'm looking forward to MP being a disaster :lol

and yeah the steam link does what it does just fine, for that price you have nothing to lose. I think i might have whined about the quality itt at one point because it suddenly jumped from decent picture quality and a playable amount of input delay to sand quality video and unplayable stutter. turned out the tab on the CAT5 cable connector had snapped off and my cat jostled it loose, popped it back in and everything was gravy

Speaking of indie shmups, it made me look up the devs that did Jamestown and they haven't released anything since? Been a while...Jamestown was 2011

I looked them up, Final Form Games, and their last blog entry was from 2012

Quote
And, for those of you who’ve been wondering: we are still at it. As we prepare to move to a new office, we’re happy to announce that we are in the very first, super-early, gestational and unpredictable stages of planning for our second game. Game 2! It’s an exciting time.

That said, Game 2 (codename: A Zound of Zanzibars) is going to be a bit of a mystery for a while. We’ll be quite busy performing our experiments and throwing everything away several times and going on spirit journeys and meditating under waterfalls and so forth.

But the day’s gonna come. We’ll keep you posted.

Uhhh, did they die or something wtf

They did an up-port to PS4 in 2015, Jamestown+.

It's just two brothers and the music guy. The "fourth guy" moved into academia a while ago I think. Both brothers have posted on twitter in the last couple months. Generally about other people's games. The one has a whole bunch of anti-alt-right/Trump tweets from 2017. Ironically, or perhaps because of, he also spent six plus years working on the America's Army games.

Here's an interview from 2016 that touches on the historical themes/imagery of Jamestown: https://caneandrinse.com/an-interview-with-final-form-games/

I have sold maybe $800 dollars of humble keys on g2a over the years. It does work, and sometimes you can make some money off of a bundle if you sit on it for a while (humble monthly especially).

But g2a is absolutely a shady company, and will sometimes flag you as fraud for no apparent reason and make you jump through a lot of hoops to get your money/keys unlocked for selling.

I have never tried to actually take money out of g2a and always just rolled it back into other games I would rather have.

My first impression...,
so far there is no Llama endboss, a llama endboss would be great for the future. 'Spoiler' Llama DLC !!!

In the first part of the game I wasted about 8000 hours of my life and 3 laptops and here I will easily waste 16000 hours and a pc with which you could certainly farm bitcoins well.

For the second part of the game itself, the game was free for me, because I'm a nice boy who likes to press repeatedly on buttons. Whether the game is worth $ 30 or not will become apparent over time, but I've played much more expensive early access games that have not been worth it.

I find the opening of the game until now quite interesting and I am confident that it is still cutting in the future.
Quote
People ♥♥♥♥♥ about the 30$ the game costs. The advantage is that the developeres can actually balance the game properly instead of adding artificial barriers where you would have to p2w usually.

I rather pay 30$ and have a well balanced game than a p2w mill.
Quote
If you want leaderboards that are semi fair and add to competition of the game then deal with the $30 dollar price tag its what all clicker/idle games lack(leaderboards planned not implemented yet).I do not see a real reason not to buy this game as they did have a refund for a full year after release policy on their main site that doesnt seem to be there anymore, unless $30 bucks is life changing money to you.I personally have already got the $30 dollar value out of it and its day 2 after beta release :).
Quote
The biggest difference I felt in this game compared to number 1 is how fun and engaging clicking is. It feels powerful and feels a lot more rewarding versus leveling a hero and letting them do all the work.

But all that couldn't be contained, so they needed a sequel: https://store.steampowered.com/app/392890/Trucker_2/
However they had to give it to another developer who succeeded in making a game that actually launched, not staying true to the first Trucker game based on the reviews which suggest the first game just gets stuck in an endless installer loop.

The original developer was working on a major sequel of their own: https://store.steampowered.com/app/546820/Pony_World_2/

A sequel to the very successful Pony World now in 3D. Improved gameplay, cartoony graphics and a whole new Pony Town to explore, live in and form relationships.

Choose its looks and clothing, then change them at the stylist whenever you want. Take care of your pony to keep it happy and healthy, the game enables new level of interaction with your pupil – hug your pony when it is sad or play together and learn new tricks.

Your farm is your home
Make your pony’s farm his dream place to live. Build it and expand to look best in the neighborhood. Decorate it and plant new plants to acquire higher status. Sell products from your farm to earn money for food, gifts and toys.

Pony Town full of joy

You have to know Superman and his supernatural powers. Batman, who's speeding through the streets of Gotham in his Batmobile. Or Spider-Man, who jumps on blocks without any problems. So meet SuperMoose.

Here doesn't have a car, he doesn't jump on blocks (in fact he's afraid of heightS), he desn't even have a beautiful beloved one. He's just a moose, but not so ordinary! Maybe he don't know karate, muay thai, and jujitsu, but he has a huge heart!

Action-movie icons Jean-Claude Van Damme and Dolph Lundgren deliver a double shot of adrenaline-fueled excitement in this heart-pounding undersea thriller. After a failed mission, deep-cover operative Wheeler (Van Damme) is imprisoned in a CIA black site on a submarine. The CIA agents will to go to any lengths to get information from Wheeler—but nothing can prepare them for the storm of violence that erupts when he joins forces with a fellow prisoner (Lundgren) as deadly as he is mysterious.

Then one evening he meets a mysterious old wizard in a bar who determines to teach Roger a lesson. The old man tells Roger he will be rewarded with $1million if only he can go 24 hours without engaging in sexual relations with a woman. Easy, right? Wrong! There's a catch. The old wizard casts a spell of irresistibility on the hapless protagonist, causing hordes of horny women to pursue him in this raunchy retro-style platform game!

Biochemist Victor is the soon-to-be-famed inventor of the pleasure-enhancing serum that’s going to change the world forever. He’s traveled to his private residence found high in the mountains and away from prying eyes so he can finish his serum in solitude -- though, he’s not exactly alone.

Three lovely female companions accompany Victor to make sure his workspaces stay tidy and that he’s not disturbed while he works. But most importantly, they can help him realize just how much pleasure his serum can provide. That is, as soon as he can figure out why the serum causes complete memory loss during the most pleasurable times. Help Victor overcome these losses in memory so that you too can experience each and every sensual encounter he has with his sexy female companions.

them paying Outerlight for The Ship IP was probably more than Outerlight got from Ubisoft for Bloody Good Time!

wow literal Confederate content on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/424030/War_of_Rights/

and worse:
Quote
First of all, I'm a teacher, writer, and historian with a fascination for the War. I was quickly disappointed to find the creators aren't even American (Swedish or something?).

I posted discussion topics on the War, and the devs actually blocked me from saying anything or even viewing the forum. It was sad that they felt the need to censor the free speech of people who paid top dollar for this game.

Devs are literal fascists that do not let people discuss the game freely

The color of the skin does not matter because for cosmic horrors the human meat tastes the same, and will hunt you in the same way and with the same intensity.

But a space adventurer needs to identify with his avatar so you can change the color of the character's skin before playing.

From the main menu you can access to "Player Appearance" and you can choose between two skin tones.

I noticed that many of the assets in the game are from Unreal Engine's Asset Store. Normally I would get wary of this, but it seems that they blend well enough with the game as a whole. However, there are some moments when it becomes very obvious, and can be immersion breaking for some.

Any else use a Dual Shock 4 for pc gaming? I use bluetooth usb + input mapper + DS4 and I get the shittiest battery life which makes no sense. On PC I go from 100% to near 0% in a 2-3 hour gaming session. On PS4 I get like 10 hours+ on the same controller on PS4's bluetooth?? This makes no sense at allllll and is annoying because it basically limits PC gaming sessions to 3 hours max.

Otoh it charges back to 100% in like 15 mins, so it's not a huge deal because I just take a break, but still wtf!
Title: Re: The Bore Steam Thread :monocle
Post by: MMaRsu on December 26, 2018, 12:49:51 PM
What you can do is change the light color on the ds4 to make it basically turn off, on ds4windows

So yeah I use DS4 for gaming on pc, but I use mine wired because of the bluetooth wasn't perfect.

But when you get a nice long connected cable you can just use them whenever without charging

If you want to keep using them wirelessly, I would advise you to get another one, so that you can always have one charged.

that's actually a fantastic idea that could in theory help a lot of people me. like, fake weekly sales to bloat the fake library...thinking this will be killed or have placeholder games best case.

more seriously, one of the best things about getting a new PC is going back and looking at steam library. I have more that were never even installed than figured, I am trying to rectify somewhat, there is just so little time and a lot of games I want to like take forever or are infinite. 

I was thinking yesterday about that old twilight zone with the librarian or professor or whatever that gets infinity to finally read and all the books he wants to but breaks his glasses. there is a shitty Black Mirror analogue in there somewhere about a catass who finally has the time but his vidcard dies.

WOW this is just, bad. Started the first level, and a couple observations are apparent. Alex.... has giggle physics, and on a closer inspection, they don't seem to be connected to her chest. The level is empty and most things are retextured in a dire way. Which isn't to mention their, efforts, at voice acting. At the end of the level, on the most slippery snowmobile, you go into a tunnel which doesn't open, along with a door you can't open. So much clipping, nonsensical drivel, and regrets. This is Half Life 2: ICE's disabled cousin, and he got put on steam.

Quote
Design clothing and romance a guy of your choice. Tailor Tales is an otome that has you playing an aspiring fashion designer who runs her own boutique. Set in a fictional European country, her life gets complicated when she meets a certain guy in a fateful encounter. Throughout the game she'll be required to design clothes for clients to earn enough gold to purchase the next chapter of the story.

Customize your main character and choose whether to be 'fierce' or 'kind' with your guy. Perhaps you'd like to kiss him first, or would rather he take the lead; it's all your choice and there are no bad endings! Each guy has his own unique route so you can jump right in and experience a completely different story.

Features
Design your own clothes
Customize the main character and dress her up
Decorate your boutique
Read romantic stories about a bachelor of your choosing
Choose whether to act fierce or kind
2 endings for each bachelor (no bad endings!)
9 CGs per bachelor
Partial voice acting
Completely unique stories with no common route
4-5 hours of gameplay per route, or about 100k words per character
Blinking sprites and CGs, plus animated mouths
Night mode version for light on dark reading
And it's free to play!

Tailor Tales will have 6 routes in the future and will get updated with each new finished route–there are currently 2 completed routes!

The love interests
Tailor Tales is all about the romance, so here's an introduction to the eligible guys:

Neil is wealthy, prickly, and doesn't really want to interact with you. When you met Neil in your childhood–a memory he's very fond of–he mistook you for a boy. Now that you're an adult, he doesn't quite know how to deal with you. Be whisked away in his awkward charms, visiting masquerade balls and the opera.
Complete

Dimitri is the younger brother of your ex that cheated on you. When Dimitri is a college student and looking for a room to rent, you somehow end up inviting him to live at your boutique. He's sweet, easily flustered, and loves to cook for you. But he's also 4 years younger than you! Maybe living together will bring you closer.
Complete


Caine is a slippery thief with no tact. When you see him getting bullied at his part time job, you take pity on him and help him out. While he can be loud, rude, and unable to really express how he feels, Caine just needs a little push in the right direction–even thieves can get lonely.
Coming up next!


In an alternate reality where people have superpowers, you design costumes for superheroes. James has the ability to fly but one day he literally crashes in front of your boutique. James looks like he'd rather throw you off a skyscraper than listen to you. He's stoic and rarely expresses his emotions. But then, you get kidnapped...
Coming in the future


Aiden is chatty, kind of flirty, and makes you laugh–online, that is. You meet Aiden playing a popular online game and you want to meet up. Except when you do finally meet him, you realize... you've been catfished! In reality, Aiden is a bumbling fool whose social anxiety forces him to keep running away from your wrath.
Coming in the future

Sam is kind and loves to hand out compliments to everyone. He promises his hair salon is legitimate, but you think something fishy is going on when all of his employees look suspiciously like criminals. Sam loves to touch your hair and take care of you. He promises to protect you in the event a certain shady person tries to hurt you.

Steam sale, $5 off first purchase over $30. Not bad.

Far Cry 5 is down to $15 now (was like $24 last sale and $20 is my Ubi price), is FC5 worth playing? I really realllllllly enjoyed FC4, but that might've been all the grapple swinging around mountain climbing in cool tibet landscape. How's FC5 compare to 4? I know most people were down on 4 because it was too much the same as 3 but I never played 3.

Also need something else to get to $30 if I get that  :lol
Hmmm, not sure if I wanna get Frost Punk for $18 or Warhammer II for $30 (probably will still go cheaper so should wait), Obduction is $10 too, hmmm.

Man, had a weird pc crash. Was playing AC Origins and got blue screen of death (it happens once in a while in games) and when I restarted I was getting nothing going to my monitor. Tried a few times and eventually fixed it by turning the power supply off and on again which rebooted the bios. Was odd because a blue screen crash should be software so idk why the hardware was acting up after.

Can also indicate hardware instability or outright defects. Tedious to diagnose, either way.

If it only happens in games, I'd lean toward GPU drivers or the card itself developing issues. (Could also be your PSU being giving up the ghost. If everything else looks OK; PSU.)

Thanks, yeah I mean I have a feeling it's GPU overheating or something every once in a while in long gaming sessions in intensive moments with a lot going on. Which is weird since I don't overclock and it's got plenty of room according to my temp reports.

I mean Hitman 2 crashes once and a while but it's just a software crash, not BSoD like I got last night in AC. That happens once every few months. Rare enough that I'm not worried about it, but still annoying.

Mirror of Fate was okay. Not a great game, but good enough for 1 dollar. It basically took Lord of Shadows simple hack and slash (GOW-like) gameplay and applied it to a 2D plane.

You will see the world's most beautiful subway - the Moscow Metro. The stations and tunnels are created as accurately as possible in accordance with reality. On the rail sections, all slopes and turns are observed. For sharing this game as Early Access we prepared 2 lines - 8A (Solntsevskaya Line) and 11 (Big Circle Line).

There are two types of trains are available initially: 81-760 series called "Oka" and 81-765 series called "Moscow".

During the Early Access we are planning on adding some new types of trains and also other metro lines. Besides, we are considering the possibility of including in this game other subway systems of different countries. Which subway will we add next? It depends on the wishes of our players.
"Our players requested a post-apocalypse Moscow Metro open-world FPS."

I bought it.  :-* It's from the makers of Rapelay, but there's no rape in this one AFAIK. Basically, you make anime waifus with a (fairly in-depth) character creation system. You can export your own creations, or import other people's, which are all unsurprisingly from anime or Persona 5. Then you enroll in a school populated by your (non-copyright infringing) creations and bang them. Your aunt is the principal and she wants the girls at her all-girls school to get an opportunity to practice sex with you before they go out into the real world (seems legit). You talk to girls until their H-meter is full and then request their consent to do the sexy time. There are some story events too, but I feel like that's not really the focus of this game. I had sex with a yandere girl that said she would die for me if I asked her to. :heartbeat

UPDATE 20th June 2019: Sega has been in touch to say it still owns the Alpha Protocol IP, and to clarify the game was pulled from Steam due to the expiry of music rights.

Last night, Sega issued a statement saying Alpha Protocol was removed on Steam "following the expiry of Sega's publishing rights". This was incorrect.

Sega didn't expand on its statement about the expiry of music rights, but it probably has something to do with scenes like the boss fight in the video below, which includes Turn Up The Radio by Autograph. Given Alpha Protocol is nine-years-old, re-licensing music for the game probably didn't make much sense to Sega.

Behind the scenes at Steam, we create many experimental features with codenames like The Peabody Recommender and Organize Your Steam Library Using Morse Code. For the first time, we're giving these works-in-progress a home called Steam Labs, where you can interact with them, tell us whether you think they're worth pursuing further, and if so, share your thoughts on how they should evolve.

We've selected three initial experiments to share as we launch the Labs. Each of these is designed to help people find the games they'll love.

Micro Trailers are lovingly-generated six-second game trailers, arranged on a page so you can digest them all at a glance. Check out our new micro trailer collections for adventure games, RPGs, builders, and more.

The Interactive Recommender looks at your top-played games and uses machine learning to recommend other titles it thinks you'll love. Find old classics by directing it toward popular titles released in the past ten years, or discover that diamond-in-the-rough by zeroing in on niche games launched in the past six months.

The Automated Show is a half-hour video featuring the latest Steam launches. Leave it on a second monitor while you work, or glue your eyeballs to it and let hundreds of games wash over you.

So pop on your lab coat, try the experiments, and then share your feedback to help shape the future of Steam.

To follow future news and additions to Steam Labs, join the Steam Labs Community Group, where we'll share announcements and updates.

Cheers!
-The Steam Team

The developers describe the content like this:

Warning! This is 18+ adult game especially created and highly valued by non impotent people with high libido who like nudity and sex in all possible variations. If you do not belong to this category and are not interested in nude bodies and sex acts, then what are you doing here? Do not read more, just go to search game intended for you!

About This Game
If you like nudity and sex in all possible variations, welcome to enjoy sexy nudity and watching of beautiful nature in Japanese village, Afghanistan, Meadow Biome or enjoy Underground sex.

You play as beautiful naked (or dressed) girl (choosing from 43 characters) who can enjoy Underground sex or walk on amazing Japanese village, Afghanistan, Meadow Biome and ride on the beautiful horse; swim in lakes, climb on mountains and move on ropes. You can spend hours riding on a horse and watching nature around you, watch different animals and sexy naked girls walking on your way. But this is not all. You can complete tasks, by looking for houses of other characters where you will be able to watch sex acts. If you want to play as an aggressive character, you can fight with other characters with hands, weapon and magic.

On the customization scene you can customize dozens of different parameters (like, tits size, wardrobe...) for all characters, make them as beautiful as you want and enjoy!

The whole content available in game Sexual nudity is completely free for you my dear customers, but this is not free for me. I am investing real money in purchasing content to make this game better and more interesting, in increasing the number of functions, characters, customization etc. If you enjoy playing Sexual nudity and would like to support its future developing, please purchase the donation DLC. Thanks to you I will be able to reinvest money in new content.

I clicked on one of the streamers waiting to get into that game, had been like twenty minutes and he responds to someone in chat "it just crashed again I don't know why..." and he sits back with his hands on his head, is reading the chat and suddenly says "no, you're right, this is totally stupid, what am I doing" and closes it :lol

Well, It's Halo. Performance is great. I have an I7 and GTX 1060, and I had 60fps at 4K DSR. Can't wait until these games release and I can play through the campaigns again. Feels great with a Steam controller, although I wish you could use mouse/KB and well as controller simultaneously. As it is now, you have to choose one or the other. Steam controller maps the KB/Mouse controls just fine, but I love me some analog movement, which I lose just emulating WASD. No idea why some devs don't just let them work simultaneously.

Played a bit of this, it's great and fucked up and presentation quality is much improved from Fran Bow, but it's also one of those more modern "adventure" games where there's no inventory, not really puzzles and even calls itself an "interactive story" vs being an adventure game. There's interaction and choices but as an old school click & point fan I'll never get why developers are thinking it's better to ditch the gameplay aspects of adventure games and make them more like visual novels. The only reason I can think of is that creating good puzzles design is hard and slows down development when they just want to tell an interactive story.

I'm not talking the transitions, apparently doing ANYTHING in the client is a performance hit (#IGuessThatsWhyTheyCallItBETAXD) according to some folks on reddit. But I haven't ran into issues with a like... 7+ year Win10 install on like 6-7 year hardware.

You do seem a little bummed out about how it turned out. Seeing them label it as an interactive story though seems to make sense. It's probably something I would enjoy so I do appreciate you bringing it to my attention.

Looks like they've tracked down some of those performance issues:
Quote
The Steam Client Beta has been updated with the following changes:

Note: This update includes a number of fixes for making sure users can keep GPU web view acceleration on without negatively impacting GPU usage when Steam is not in use or a game is running. GPU web view acceleration is important for good new library and friends ui performance. If you have previously disabled GPU acceleration this update would be a good time to try it again.

General:
Improvements to prevent new library doing any animation/GPU work when the library window is covered by other windows or games regardless of GPU acceleration settings
Some library animations now pause when the library window does not have keyboard focus or mouse hover, even if the window may be visible
Fixed a steamwebhelper memory leak impacting Mac and Linux users and some Windows overlay browser usage if GPU acceleration for web views was on
Fixed web view GPU acceleration to default on for Mac and Linux
Fixed library failing to load for some users with very large numbers of non-Steam games

Which games were in the mystery box?
The "mystery box" was the games that'd release at the start of every month.

So if you do classic you still choose, or you just get them all?
Depends on how many games there are. You get ten choices and the plan is cheaper, you stay grandfathered in unless you cancel.

The one description makes it sound like Classic will often just be the same as before but no "early unlock" they'll all be revealed at once. The new subscribers won't be able to get them all. At the same time the other infographic suggests there might be more than ten games a month at some point but not right away.

It's usually been like what, seven games a month or so? Especially if the early unlock is a big title. (edit: looks like it's been eight or nine most months for the last two years)

They're trying to bump up the price on new subscribers and get rid of the multi-month plans in exchange for "cheaper" plans that are more limited. Even the store discount is taking a hit for the lower end.

I have no plans to bail out yet, especially after they gave me that store credit when they didn't need to, and then how they just gave me SPYROOOOO. Plus in general it's been a pretty good run of stuff I might quite want at some point for way cheaper than it'd ever be on sale. :pitbull

The mystery box was the worst, because third-fourths of it was :no1curr material.

At least letting you pick what you want to throw your money down the well for this time around could be better. But I guess sales were so shit that they have to lock folks in now. :doge

I get like humble monthly was pretty good when it started and for like the first year... but as it went on everything was  :no1curr except for the early unlocks. So if you didn’t want those, then you might as well just not get it.

I did resub this month to see how the pick 10 looks. But we will see if I keep
It.

Edit: 20% discount is pretty solid. It’s basically like GCU for pc games.

The mystery box was the worst, because third-fourths of it was no1curr material.

At least letting you pick what you want to throw your money down the well for this time around could be better. But I guess sales were so shit that they have to lock folks in now. :doge
How is paying more for less games better? Even if you don't want most of the games the value is way better.

$132 for ~120 games + 20% discount versus $135 for 36 games + 10% discount. :idont

No it isn't. Unless you plan to sell those keys. Paying $12 for 3 titles is "ok," if I'm getting $60 worth (like the Deus Ex month) out of it. Getting a bunch of indies isn't "better value" unless you plan to play those indies. Which... I'm not. :doge So for me, the value of the mystery box was worthless, double-so with my distaste toward the whole mystery box aspect of the entire thing (Pay $12 to get... some shit you may/may not want! Yay!).

I only paid for two months: The Deus Ex and this month (for Spyro and Crash). The rest either had shit I already got on Steam sales (Thereby :some1curr ) or was indie kusoge (:no1curr ) so the value preposition was worthless.

I'm not surprised others did what I did: Subbed and then quickly unsubbed. Maybe if the months had a bunch of killer things that were solid but not shit I already bought on Steam sale (like Slay the Spire in August), people would've stuck around/it'd been more successful. But I don't fault others for doing the same shit I did with "hard pass."

I'll eat the $4 increase monthly if their shit is worth paying that much. If not, I'll pass or get the lower tier depending on what shit they get. Either way, dropping the whole mystery box bullshit and letting you see what you're getting for your investment is a better deal.

You're talking about using it as a couple times a year way to get under sale prices. Not as a monthly service that shoves games at you.

The lowest tier doesn't even get any of the monthly games just access to the Trove until their subscription expires.

Neither of the new tiers is a better value proposition than staying grandfathered in with Classic if you actually want the monthly service. It's literally cheaper for more games. Half the games could be Indie Gala tier and you'd still be better off.

Which games were in the mystery box?
The "mystery box" was the games that'd release at the start of every month.

So if you do classic you still choose, or you just get them all?
Depends on how many games there are. You get ten choices and the plan is cheaper, you stay grandfathered in unless you cancel.

The one description makes it sound like Classic will often just be the same as before but no "early unlock" they'll all be revealed at once. The new subscribers won't be able to get them all. At the same time the other infographic suggests there might be more than ten games a month at some point but not right away.

It's usually been like what, seven games a month or so? Especially if the early unlock is a big title. (edit: looks like it's been eight or nine most months for the last two years)

They're trying to bump up the price on new subscribers and get rid of the multi-month plans in exchange for "cheaper" plans that are more limited. Even the store discount is taking a hit for the lower end.

I have no plans to bail out yet, especially after they gave me that store credit when they didn't need to, and then how they just gave me SPYROOOOO. Plus in general it's been a pretty good run of stuff I might quite want at some point for way cheaper than it'd ever be on sale. :pitbull
Looking back the the previous 5 or so months i missed, there's maybe 3 titles i would've been interested in, and they're probably dirt cheap at this point, so i think i'll pass.
I've had it for one year, and one thing i didn't like, was how you couldn't just pause a month without knowing the titles you'd miss in advance, so that change is a good one, though.

They updated the Beta so now you can remove all those F2P games and anything else from your library AND account if you want just by right-clicking. I got rid of a bunch of demos from like 2008.

You cannot accidentally do this to paid games in your account, only free ones and stuff like it.

I assume they're coming back with the back catalog, they've been on GOG for ages. New games will probably still require Origin, then as they fade from view, get tossed on Steam and GOG?

One thing I think is funny is that Battlefield 2 is not on Origin, and the disk codes won't activate AND certain versions of the disks don't install because of that stupid Windows check that fails on 10. But I have it on Steam and can install it there.

that mostly because gamespy going down took down the multiplayer (even though you can still play it with BF2hub but shh don't tell EA). If you ask in origin chat they should add it to your account. i had them add my disk copy some years back

BF2, 1942, and 2142 were on Origin for a while. I have them from when Origin launched.

The only older title that wasn't there was Vietnam, I think. And 1942's expansions. But BF2 included all it's expansions, and 2142 didn't have expansions (IIRC) so it was complete.

You can still play 2142 and BF2 online. But through two different "services," since Revive/Battlelog.co was shutdown. I should get around to getting that working since it's probably going to be forever before EA puts BF3/4 up on Steam.

POSTED: NOVEMBER 10
As usual, let's get the obvious thing out of the way, Apostle is an 'eroge' not just a 'galge' it's a straight out 'eroge'. This means if you're allergic to lewds, don't be rude, just be good and run away from here dude. Eroge, means erotic + game, erotic game. From that alone you know this isn't going to be your standard 'protagonist meets comrades and save the world' type of RPG'. It's going to be the 'protagonist meets comrades, specifically females, fooks their brains out, then they save the world' type of RPG. So if you're the puritan who thinks erotic drawings are the work of the devil... then git out....

I will be honest here, I haven't finished the game yet so take this review with a grain of salt. If you checked my playtime I've only played this game for under two hours. However, I'm rushing this review because I believe my experience is enough for me to form an opinion about this game, and to be more specific, a recommendation. This review will of course be a little biased, as I am a believer that no review is ever purely objective. It's always dependent on how the experience of the person playing it went. With that said, let's get into it.

Let us start with the least important part of any eroge... the plot. Many people will always tell you "a good game should find a good harmony between game play and plot" sadly that's just not true when it comes to these eroges. Sure a good plot is always welcome but... let's face it, you come to play an eroge either to get hard or to get wet and a good plot might get you excited but hardly ever will it get you aroused. Plot just isn't the main focus in this genre. Anyway, eroges are usually set in a medieval version of an alternate world. The medieval era is always a good setting for these kinds of games because in that era society rules aren't set in stone just yet. So, more often than not, your protagonist will always be some sort of knight or magician travelling the medieval landscape in search of brave companions. However, Apostle instead sets its story in a more modern time in an alternate world. In fact, I would say it's in sometime in a distant future as the technology they're using seem exceed ours by a huge margin. Basically, you're a student, living a normal life, until monsters from another dimension invade your world through portals/gates that suddenly just materialize out of thin air. After your first encounter with them, you lose many of your friends before you awaken to your power as an 'apostle'. With your new found power you take a stand and fight, but being new to your powers, and being level 1 which I suspect was the bigger problem, you lose and faint. When you wake up you become a part of a group which makes it their life mission to combat these monsters and safe guard the earth. You then vow to destroy all of those monsters in the name of your fallen friends yada yada. That's about it, that's the plot. Nothing too interesting, but enough to get you going. The biggest hook in the plot though is that you're given a number of romance options and the story they make as you court them are quite entertaining.

Gameplay~! Turn based like most eroges! There were some changes made to make it more... "unique". Attack is still attack, but magic was turned into "adam", and your skills were turned into whatever name your "attribute" is. By the way "attribute" in this game, for some reason is the weapon the character is imbued with. Your character is imbued by the power of the ogre slayer~ a.k.a. the "Onikirimaru". So, if you leveled a skill up, and you can't find that skill in battle, it's probably under the tab "onikirimaru". Anyway, you level up to become stronger, and as you level up you gain AP which you use to gain new skills, which all take TP to use. This is the biggest problem I ahve with this game, the TP system which is an attribute different from SP which the game also has. Normally you'd want to use your most powerful skills at the start to clear mobs, but since you start with a low TP, this isn't possible so most of the time it takes longer to kill mobs... which is a problem.

Normally in an eroge mobs are your friends~! This is because, usually an eroge will let you play as the most beautiful girl in the game (or at least most beautiful girl according to the developer's fetish, which hopefully coincides with yours too). Also, usually when you lose your character gets placed into uhh... rather delicious situations, delicious for you, probably pretty horrible for the character... unless she's already broken and she likes to shove it inside her pu GAAAHHHHH I'M GETTING SIDETRACKED! Anyway, this is a game where you're a male, and immediately it doesn't seem to be too appetizing to lose now does it? As I said, this is a huge problem because the game uses the old 'final fantasy' system where you randomly fight enemies while walking! In other eroges you see the enemies walking around and if you want to fight them, you just bump against them, here, whether you like it or not you're bound to fight at least 10 of them before you reach the boss, and that can be tiring.

Artwork~! It's ♥♥♥♥.... Okay fine.... I'm being biased.... You see I'm a 19 year old girl who failed miserably in growing.... If someone told me "that place was so flat an airplane can land safely on there" I'd probably show a poker face while crying inside, secretly asking satan himself to drag that person to hell while his deek is being eaten by cerberus who hopefully isn't one of those monster girls so he doesn't find it pleasurable! The breasts in this game are just too... damn... big! I mean, they're super exaggerated! You can't tell me a woman my age can have the breasts the size of bowling balls and not have back problems! That's just impossible! I REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE ANY EXISTENCE OF SUCH! So yeah, I say that the general art design is ♥♥♥♥! SHIIIIIIIIIIIITTTTTT! **Angry washboard noises** However~ there was one character named "Kenshin Takeda". Obviously best girl! She single handedly encouraged me to make this review.

This game has many quests which can be as boring as finding diet pills for some slvt, or as interesting as... well i haven't actually found an interesting quest but, finding quests can lead you to special events, like maybe see a certain girl in a loin cloth. Obviously the fun to be had in this game are to be found in travelling the overworld and increasing your "love points" with the girls in your party. It's certainly more entertaining than grinding in the dungeon... well I guess you're still grinding, just in a more pleasurable way.

Soooo let's add it up

Standard Plot: 6/10
Standard but Grindy gameplay: 5/10
Great Artwork: 8/10
Overly exaggerated breasts: 1/10
Takeda Kenshin: 100/10
That's an average of 24/10~! It totally gets a recommendation from me!

D3RANGED: AyyMD or Intel for next-gen console-like performance? I've had a few people saying AMD, but I've been an Intel person all my life, so I'm seeking a 3-5th opinion to break my "ew, AMD... I'd be a treasonous bastard defecting from Intel" feeling.

AMD would be cheaper and probably last longer in the long-run than the i9-9900 or whatever that is 16 theads. But I'm not 100% on board with it just yet.

For single core performance, Intel is still king (if going for high end consumer CPU at least). So if you care a lot about high refresh rates and so on, go Intel. But at the moment, it just isn't a terribly great deal. I am extremely pleased with how my 3900x is performing. I got it semi late, due to shortage, so I dont know how it was before the bios updates, apparently it was a bit rough. But works well now, even if it struggles to get advertised clocks most of the time.

Dont think I ever before had a computer with AMD cpu, maybe the very first family pc we had. Well had ATI cards, but before AMD takeover. Quite happy with the switch to AMD from Intel now

3000 series was a bit of a mess pre-September but it's solid now with the abba BIOS. I've got a 3600 and it's doing work in basically any game I throw at it, which is real nice for a $200 CPU (less than that in most places now).

Well, someone recommended the 3700 on Reddit, but I've never been an AMD person so I'm not 100% on-board with it. But if you guys are saying it's good value, then I guess that forces my hand and I'm going AMD this cycle.

Thank you. :-[

Can any of you thalidomide babies explain HDR on Windows 10 to me? I have a compatible display and GPU. I just want some deets.

1) So HDR is system level. Does that mean all games automatically support it if you enable it, or does a game have to implement it specifically like on consoles? With the system-level toggle, are there games that also have an in-game toggle, and if so do both of them need to be on or one or the other or is this the confusing Windows disaster that it probably is?
2) How big of a perf hit are we talking? Can I just leave HDR turned on all the time at the system level or do I have to worry about GPU burnout or taxation or some shit.

Basically, should I be using this? Photos and high quality pics of paintings are just so much better looking. And It feels las though it’s not like 3D or most other visual gimmicks where my eyes adjust after a few minutes and It makes no difference in the end. But if the perf considerations are uggo I’ll consider abandoning it.

I think it's definitely a per game implementation kinda thing in terms of quality? I've heard good things about it in Gears and Modern Warfare though.

I think the HDR setting is only for the Operating System (Windows). I don't think there's anything "global" in settings that games take beyond resolution size (to automatically try to make native resolution generally) and drivers/information for the graphics card. I don't think there's a global setting for like anti-aliasing, RTX, etc. that games use as a "oh this computer uses this!" thing.

I don't think HDR is a huge performance hit compared to RTX and other stuff, but it really depends on the game(s) and how they implemented their method of it.

It’s definitely for games, too. It says it right by the option, and Disco Elysium looks obviously better with it. It didn’t strike me as a game that could afford something like supporting HDR. Fuck, even Windows looks nicer with it on.

https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/List_of_games_that_support_high_dynamic_range_display_(HDR) (https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/List_of_games_that_support_high_dynamic_range_display_(HDR))

The only games I've ever heard anybody mention it about are Hitman and then certain maps on Star Wars Battlefront II are apparently pretty sweet. I guess some of the games can be really wonky where entire objects exist outside of the HDR and so stand out like the one interactive object on a prerendered screen, Resident Evil 7 apparently has this problem.

At one point HDR errors like this were more noticeable in PC games because of the higher resolution, on console you wouldn't notice them. Like Ass Creed got lots of HDR hype on consoles and then on PC people were like "meh, it's only on certain stuff" though some of these could have been since patched.

MW definitely sounds like a great HDR showcase though, even Giant Bomb was talking about how great it looked so they were playing it on the one HDR monitor they had even though they can't record it for videos.

I guess this is relevant since Steam can't sell the game any longer since the publishers ran out of keys: https://twitter.com/SwiftOnSecurity/status/1196981812788125697

It's in one of the stranger limbo states. The company that owns the Prey IP (Bethesda), the developer until last week (Human Head) and the original publisher (2K) were all alive and well. But Triton shut down like weeks after the game came out, and it was the generator of the keys, so there's only ever been a finite number of keys.

I'm kinda surprised Bethesda hasn't seen about generating new Steam-based keys for it other than they apparently don't want their version of the IP associated with it. The game itself is available on the service for those who own it.

Coincidentally, Bethesda recently picked up the remnants of Human Head and Rune II.

Not sure how much I'm liking Divinity Original Sin 2.

The difficulty is all fucked up. I played at the second easiest difficulty level--I'm no grognard that likes to replay fights. The ship section was simple, so I figured I was at least on solid footing if I didn't need to turn up the difficulty, but once I got to the island, it was another story. Every encounter I get into, the enemies have much more health and shield energy than me, and they have weapons and spells that hit much harder than anything I can muster up. The game is very open ended and encourages you to do whatever you want almost immediately, so I figured maybe I just needed some guidance to point me at the easy quests...

So this is already poorly designed from my POV. The easy quests aren't breadcrumbed enough so I'm forced to go to an online guide. I could've found the easy quests if I wandered around more, but that would've involved dying and reloading a bunch as the game has a habit of throwing you into unwinnable fights arbitrarily, right out of random conversations and also in the middle of nowhere. Sometimes the annoying encounters feature invisible enemies!

Anyway, I'm doing the quests by the guide now. It's not very satisfying. I eventually did some googling about the game's difficulty and found a reddit thread. Most of the people were saying that you should play the beginning of the game (I think they said Act I but I forget the details of the game's structure) on the easiest difficulty. Many of these people also recommended playing the second part/Act II on easy because they thought it was even worse in balancing.

Me? I have no shame? Ninja dog? That's me. Easy mode is no thing for me. I suck at games! But Original Sin 2's easy mode is so easy that it's effortless. It removes all challenge and makes the game more of a busy task than a game.

So I'm a little frustrated with this game. The mechanics and combat are great. It has a lot of depth. Lots of options for character growth. Some of the characters appear interesting so far. Baldur's Gate 3 went to the right people, I think. But what the fuck man, they didn't manage to hit an enjoyable difficulty level for me. One's too hard and one's too easy.

If anyone can help me enjoy this game, please do. I really want to love it. I loved Original Sin! Fuck I drunk loved Divinity 2! (Never played Divine Divinity or Beyond Divinity tho).

Hmmm, I mean there's lots of "mystery" adventure games as in there's usually a mystery in the story that you're trying to solve. But not sure what would differentiate a detective adventure game. Are you specifically looking for murder mystery games? Where there's a body and you're trying to figure out who killed them and how?

Blue Shift was originally supposed to be added side content for the Dreamcast version but got upgraded into "full expansion" like later happened to CS: Condition Zero. Although it wasn't quite the clusterfuck that was.

Daemon X Machina, released last year on the Nintendo Switch, is coming to PC via Steam, and GameSpark.jp reports that the game will a multitude of framerate options on PC.

Users will be able to pick between framerates of 30, 60, 120, 144, and 200 fps. Resolutions up to 4K will be supported on PC, as will non-16:9 aspect ratios with black bars around the screen. As far as graphics settings go, one will be able to tweak texture quality (with high-res textures available), shadow quality, depth-of-field, and anti-aliasing among others.

PC users will be also be able to play with a mouse and keyboard, should they wish.

Reading the EA notes, the game is fully finishable in it's current state. Every run has 5 randomized "cases" out of a pool of 12 cases, the finished version will have 20 cases and more random events and playable characters.

So I used an idle program to get cards from around 800 games, and  a script to put them all in the market, and in the last week I've had 50 dollars trickle in, with potentially $60 more on the way.

Might actually get Resident Evil 3 on release.

Also, decided to upgrade before Half Life Alyx, and ordered a new PC with a 2080 Super and 9700k. 2 SSD's, 1TB each. Cost me 3 grand, but I should be good for a bit. With my purchase of the index upon the announcement of HL:A, that makes almost 5g spent on gaming in 3 months. Goodbye savings, I hardly knew ye.

Oh yeah, forgot I bought a 144hz g-sync monitor last year as well. Only 1080p, so my new pc is way overkill, but friggin VR is a pig.

So I used an idle program to get cards from around 800 games, and  a script to put them all in the market, and in the last week I've had 50 dollars trickle in, with potentially $60 more on the way.

Might actually get Resident Evil 3 on release.

Also, decided to upgrade before Half Life Alyx, and ordered a new PC with a 2080 Super and 9700k. 2 SSD's, 1TB each. Cost me 3 grand, but I should be good for a bit. With my purchase of the index upon the announcement of HL:A, that makes almost 5g spent on gaming in 3 months. Goodbye savings, I hardly knew ye.

Oh yeah, forgot I bought a 144hz g-sync monitor last year as well. Only 1080p, so my new pc is way overkill, but friggin VR is a pig.

Wait, what idle program exactly?

Furious Racing is a scam! I went in to this game expecting an HD remake of Garfield Kart, a game that I have 100% completed and gotten all five stars in. It failed even the lowest possible expectations that I had for it— even as a joke. They made the drifting, the basis for which all higher level movement in the game is built off of, absolutely atrocious. It is at once too responsive and not nearly responsive enough to the degree that even as a joke it feels unsatisfying to play. Garfield Kart, for as much of a joke that it is, at the very least allowed you to pretend that it felt good to control. This game costs $15 compared to the original's $5 and instead of being 3x better to justify this price it holistically fails in all aspects to deliver.

Do not get this game. If you want a joke just get Garfield Kart for 1/3rd of the price and several times more fun and function. Unironically.

Yeah, I used a Chrome Extension called Steam Inventory Helper to sell my cards. You can set it up to do a bulk sell. I set it for 1 cent under the market low so hopefully they'd sell fast (although I still have 140 listed).

The idle program is idle master extended, and the script to list the cards is steam economy enhancer. Every few days I relist the overpriced cards. Easy as pie. The time consuming part is confirming the listings in the steam app.

Everything is butter. Played Thumper in VR at 150% resolution and thought I might have a seizure. It was beautiful.

Looks like I don't have to bother with any more digital foundry videos or fiddling with settings. Just set to high and unlock frame rate.

That said, I mostly just played Blood at 144fps because I'm fucking hooked.

And hit 80 dollars Steam credit.

I don't put any time into checking anything. I use the script and tell it to sell everything at the cheapest possible so it sells and then I don't check it for a few weeks and like 10-30 things sell for a couple cents each.

You're also probably playing games that don't really have a base that want to do badges.

Blazblue (the first one correction: Cross-Tag Battle) is like $.25 per card, but selling it takes forever because not a lot of people/want to craft the badges. Over time, those animu titles will also crash and burn because of age and people selling their stuff for $.01-.02 less than the current lowest so folks buy THEIR stuff over the stuff currently listed.

Unless you're willing to sit there and monitor 100 cards you're better off not doing Idlemaster and just playing what you want and selling dupes, tbh.

I came to the realization the other day that I don't know who almost anyone on my steam friendlist is anymore. People all have weird ass nicks and unless they match up with their forum name somewhere I read like here or they're one of my 5 actual real life friends on steam, then I don't know who they are and it's pretty awkward.

Like I was playing pony island the other day and someone messaged me "haven't talked in forever, but that game is rad!" and I'm like I have no idea who the fuck this is.

I have the same issue on PSN and stuff but I hardly ever use those so I mainly notice it with steam.

GTA4 update removes the multiplayer AND removes the GfWL versions from your Steam library.  :doge I mean, I probably never was gonna install it again, but you know... Dirt 3, Dark Souls (IIRC) all allow a GfWL version to stay in your library.

So... can we talk about how Avalanche basically launched an Early Access title on Steam?

My god (https://generationzero.com/en/blog/march-update-patch-notes), what the fuck is going on? Was the base game REALLY that fucking horrible that they had to redesign the inventory system?

The world is still copy-pasting buildings, so I don't see where the "world revamp" comes from.

You can't link that and then not link the store page.

Good on them sticking around with it i guess? I figured they had abandoned it. Idk anyone who tried it.

I just bought it since it was $15 and I'm still fucking disappointed. I knew of it's reputation, but given it's been a year SURELY SOMETHING SHOULD'VE BEEN FIXED, right? But nope, outside of revamping the inventory (which is still horrible), looting is fucking dismal (can see an item, can't get it to highlight/be able to loot) and the gameplay is pretty bad.

It's shocking this comes from Avalanche.

I should get a dual-install back on my desktop. My Linux Laptop (which I need to use more... :doge ) couldn't run a lot of low-level stuff. I wonder if Garou is able to run now. It had a weird error message I couldn't figure out the reason for last time I tried.

Final Fantasy XII: International: Zodiac Job System HD got an update.

It basically added the X-box/Switch "job reset" function and Gambit loadout setting (3 options for each member).

It also added removing Denuvo from legit copies.

:D!

According to GoG's Facebook post, it's a point-and-click adventure. So leaning toward the latter. YMMV.

Anyone here got a Shield TV and compared Nvidia GameStream to Steam link?

Considering getting a new Shield TV as my bargain basement Amazon Firestick doesnt support H265/HEVC content (I'm a big Plex user too, and want something that can run it well) and I'd like to play games from my pc on the tele. NVidia Shield is pretty pricey, but also hear that GameStream is mean if oyu use NVidia cards in your pc vs Steam Link which is a bit janky.

Controller is straight up busted in this demo. AI becomes braindead in it. Played with keyboard and mouse right after, the AI is functional there. But the controls are really awkward with the AI's bullets being able to move faster than I'm able to "spam" boost to dodge around and hit them.  :doge

Seems to be "platform, one-hit kill enemy unaware, platform, one-hit kill..."

It's fun, in that it reminds me of Mirror's Edge, but I do hope the combat is more engaging and they balance the guns or make the the default controls better than they are in the demo.

So I was resting in bed and scrolling through this thread watching all the videos for these indie games D3RANG3D always links for the last bunch of pages and looking up the interesting ones and man, so many of these indie games come out and...no one plays them. Lots of ones that came out in Feb, March have like 2-4 reviews total and some look pretty good! If you can't market to stand out or know someone you're fucked as an indie dev.

Like these two for example. The few reviews are really good, but probably gonna be lost in the shuffle:

They also have another one coming out:

https://store.steampowered.com/app/896520/Stay_Out_of_the_House/


The thing is, these look like they could be cool throwback games. But when they show up from some developer with zero track record and there's dozens of mediocre indie games for each good ones it's sorta hmmm.

Downloading whole romsets as a kid taught me valuable lessons. A) most games are shit and B) the more choice you have, the more superficial your filtering criteria become. We can't deeply and thoroughly evaluate everything, so we simply don't.

The solution is obvious: kill prospective developers to improve the chances of your own project.

I use my game wishlists as bookmarks. I've had at least one game on my Steam list for a full decade, other games that have been discounted to $1 multiple times. It's still packed with games because I keep adding more that look mildly interesting. Ultimately, my time and money are both pretty finite, but adding a game to a wishlist takes very little time and no money, so...

i feel like there has to be some kind of crash in the next few years, right? there's just so sooo many games being released, yet even the biggest titles drop below $20 within a year of release. everywhere you turn there's hundreds of dirt-cheap great games that you've never played. at some point won't indie devs start feeling like it isn't worth it when the chance to be successful is so slim?

The indie boom ended years ago. The folks coming in now need to understand that Steam's "indie wave" is over. Even shit games are getting hot sales on Nintendo, but that's going to crash eventually. If you're making games to make money, you're doing it wrong at this point.

RaveofRavendale or rather Mike Rose has some interesting ideas on indie publishing and how to make it work like he does with his games like 'Not Tonight'.
The problem seems to be that most of the indies don't do any marketing and if they do marketing they go through the 'old' channels like IGN where they are either ignored or buried in new AAA releases.

If you have interest in the subject you should look up his GDC talks, he has done a few on the subject I believe.

Unrelated to that last post, but is there a way to buy games on steam without it showing up on your activity? And maybe the achievements and stuff not showing up on your activity.

Once in a while I read about a highly rated erotic/porn VN/indie game that I want to try but I have certain friends on my friendlist that could be awkward if they saw me playing something with a name like "big tiddy goth gf simulator"  :japancry

On your Steam profile, under Edit Profile, you can block people from seeing your games list and won't show you as being in-game. It's a blanket block, though, I don't think there's anyway to do it for individual games.
Title: Re: The Bore Steam Thread :monocle
Post by: Bebpo on May 15, 2020, 06:50:51 PM
Basically they need an incognito mode for purchasing and achievements/activity.
You can just set to show as offline for when you're playing, but needs the above as well.

I played both 1 and 2 (and Apex). Got to max rank (no prestige) and then deleted them. Apex I played for like five minutes, not for me at all.

So that goes back to: When is Battlefield 3 and 4 hitting? I'd like to buy those again and have them with my Bad Company install.

If you mean EA's rental service thing where you don't own the titles: Like hell am I doing that just to have those on my Steam list. Fuck that.

Become a journalist who researches old car accident cases. Obtain evidence and reconstruct the events to discover what really happened.

Examine the victims
Evaluate the victims' condition and get to work! Are they breathing? Do they have any serious wounds? Anything might be crutial to their survival. Provide first aid, control the bleeding, check for pulse and put them in recovery position if you can. Do whatever is necessary depending on nature of the emergency.

Make decisions
Who to help first? How to do it the best way? By helping the wrong way, you can put other people's life in danger, or even your own. Think twice but remember - time's running out!

Rewind time
You made a bad choice? Didn't manage to save all the wounded victims? You have a chance to fix that! Turn back time and try again.

Find the reasons behind accidents
When you're helping someone, every second counts, there's no time for deep examinations on the reasons behind the accident. But at the end of your rescue mission, you'll be able to analyze the whole situation, pick up the pieces and find out what caused the accident.

Various rescue mission scenarios
Be a part of different rescue missions: from simple car bumps to serious chain-reaction crashes in various locations, weather conditions and even at different times. Gain experience and learn how to help people in real life situations.

In Radiance (thirst person perspective game), we play the role of a nuclear power plant employee who must stop at nothing in order to avoid a core meltdown. Our hero will have to face various tasks that will lead him to discover the many features and principles of operation of the power plant. Along the way, he will learn the plant’s secret past and try to save the world.

Fixing the leak and the damaged pump might prove to be a cakewalk compared to managing a school trip. Parts used in the repair must first be found, sorted, cleaned and checked for radiation. Only then can they be assembled and installed. Children will not make this task any easier.

What to do first? Fix the broken pipe, or catch the radioactive rats infesting the sublevels? Performing such tasks will sometimes require a very creative approach, and repairing and upgrading replacement parts will require a high degree of accuracy and precision.

As tasks are completed, more mysterious pages of the history of the plant’s opening will be unveiled. The beginnings of its operation will come to light and everyone will find out who and why did such shoddy work. Provided that the core does not melt first…

Interact with other characters - find errant school-trip children hiding around the entire power plant, assisting and "motivating" co-workers who overdosed on the radioactivity antidote. As well as many other tasks that enhance the game's plot.

Demo is available due to the Steam Games Festival thing. Check it out if you liked Frozen Synapse. It's basically a Bond-esque Slay the Spire with you playing the James Bond in a "tight space" close-quarters Combat Scenario. The demo is decent, but it needs some work (IMO) in speeding up the combat and having a store (a la Slay the Spire) that lets you buy the cards you need in your deck.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/971030/SkateBIRD/

Skate BIRD, I'm sure everyone already knows about but it's basically Tony Hawk Pro Skater with a Bird as the skater. The demo is extremely Alpha (seems really wonky), but the idea is solid enough. I'd recommend giving it a try to see if the novelty is for you.

I dunno about the other demos in the event yet, there's like 900 and you have to dig through it. :doge

Edit: Actually I remember Ghostrunner being featured and it's like a Cyberpunk Mirror's Edge. The demo had some issues with controllers and keyboards last time they featured it (back in March IIRC), I dunno if they fixed that or the projectiles speed to where you want to slow down time constantly to be in the "flow" for easy kills. But the execution is solid enough that I think it's a worthy "check on Steam Sale" game.

Sooo...Fights in Small Spaces demo is essentially the entire game lol. Played over an hour in a long run. It's Slay the Spire card based RNG but with top down puzzle stealth combat. It's pretty good but the escort missions are bullshit and it's annoying dying 60 mins into a run because some dumb thing your AI escort does. Game needs to drop the escorts and needs more balancing and it could be great.
Title: Re: The Bore Steam Thread :monocle
Post by: thisismyusername on June 17, 2020, 12:37:41 AM
Escorts are fine. The problem for me is that the map doesn't have the shop a la Slay the Spire (not sure if you've played that Beb's) to drop your stuff/cards and buy the ones you need/pushes for objetives and heal, it's either/or for the Gym/Hospital and the combat isn't as fast as Slay the Spires. You can 3-5-4-E (choose the third card, fifth card [which would be "4" on the keyboard since you picked the 3rd one first but I'm saying 5 for ease of understanding], then 4th [3], then End your Turn [E]) under fast mode and have your damage/blocks/etc play out faster than Tight Spaces combat rounds and turn/AI movement.

The idea is interesting, however. I really like the idea of movement and doing fist-fighting. I just need it to go by faster when I chose my moves and have the movement/choices be faster.

I got it on my wishlist due to Mode 7/Frozen Synapse 1-2 and Frozen Endzone/Cortex developers publishing it and I really liked Frozen Synapse [didn't care for Endzone, not a Sports person], so I'm hoping they tweak it. Because as a Slay the Spire person (Android version when?), it'd be nice to have a supplemental that isn't an "also ran" like some Mobile games and Steam games are doing on trying to clone that success right down to the same-y gameplay.
Title: Re: The Bore Steam Thread :monocle
Post by: Bebpo on June 17, 2020, 01:07:01 AM
Eh, I think the escorts are bullshit. Not only can RNG fuck you with your character but now you have to watch out for the RNG of the escort as well? It adds too much RNG imo. I got to the end boss prison boss with the escort and the escort screwed me over. The ambassador level early on was annoying too.

I thought you could remove cards at the medical spot?

(https://i.imgur.com/WUkB6Ojh.jpg)

Beat the demo for Lore Finder - Pretty good indie Castlevania with Lovecraft. You can't shoot in the air at first which kind of limits you but the game is built around that. My only complaint is there is no map and I'd get lost in the full version without a map for sure. Still, first demo I'm adding to my wishlist. I'd play the full game of this.
Title: Re: The Bore Steam Thread :monocle
Post by: thisismyusername on June 17, 2020, 01:35:21 AM
Yes, you can. But that's my point: You either choose the hospital or the gym. Either/or, there's no sprinkling both along the path so you can plan your routes with 2/3 of each. Might just be the demo right now, but Slay the Spire had the Stores and Bonfires along the route, so you planned your encounters. Plus with Slay the Spires events, you had random events that could take 1 card out of your deck. Either a requested one (the Beggar) or one of your choice (Bonfire, other events).

This... doesn't have the events, so you can't "deck-thin" and it gives you cards so slowly that it just doesn't feel as fast for solving puzzles/situations. Like, your problem with the Escorts (which are really fine, IMO just needs to be tweaked like I'm going to say) is that there isn't enough movement/push cards given. If you had more Push Cards, your hands would have those + movement in addition to dealing with with the enemies while protecting your Escort.

The other issue is: Doing that slows down the combat (even further than by yourself) but that goes back to what I was saying earlier with Slay the Spires "fast mode."

Non-Fast mode StS:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cc9Q3heIlzs

(Skip to the first battle)

Fast mode:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U1EfyBgf_ZQ

(Skip to first battle)

Look how fast drawing cards are and the damage calculations.

Fights in Tight Spaces doesn't have that, and the issue with doing that is that you have to move your character (and others) in a "3D" space so you can't just do that.

I mean ideally the game speed would be similar to the Speedrun achievement:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vMP12NSwoK4

But that's unfeasible with the "puzzle" aspect of Tight Spaces. But a speed-up and tweaking to where you have more answers for the optional objectives is entirely possible.

Someone the Steam forums made the suggestion of being able to "burn"/exhaust/exile a card for movement. That could help speed up the process, but "exiling" (though I think their suggestion is a simple discard instead of playing) a card for the ability to move when the deck (like StS) should have an even number of movement/push, attack/defend cards (StS is 5attack, 5 defense, 1 card that could go either way depending on the character class/gimmick of the character chosen) to where your basic deck is able to be "built upon."
Title: Re: The Bore Steam Thread :monocle
Post by: Bebpo on June 17, 2020, 01:41:22 AM
Yeah, it's definitely slower. The core of it's good. But it needs a lot of work to be a high quality game like Slay the Spire. Maybe I'll check it out a year after it launches and see where it's at.

Like, give me this game but it plays like Valkyria Chronicles instead and I’d play the heck out of it. I just can’t micromanage real time strategy where I’m getting rushed by the AI from multiple directions and points and have to juggle combatting them and building stuff and managing resources at the same time.

Shady Knight demo was cool. Liked it better when I realized you didn't have to kill/fight most of the enemies and could just speedrun platform through the majority of the rooms.

Origin isnt bad compared to many other launchers tbh. Improved a lot. Uplay store and ebic trash dog stores in comparison.

Castle Fight is a strategic building game. In this game, players will use a combination of blacks to build the most structurally-complete and powerful castle. When building is complete, players will see who is the last castle standing!

Honestly, that's the best part of this sale: Being able to get the emotes you want instead of crafting a badge and going  :shaq2 toward the one you get.

Damn u bought all that and a bag of chips?

I'm probably gonna pick up two-three more things after Gwent's expansion pre-order. But yeah: That's pretty much what I had my eyes on and sat all month for (though I didn't get cards from buying this stuff. :gaben )

Gwent purchase gave me the trading cards I was missing. :salute :gaben :salute Now I can craft the badge. :salute

My wishlist is already long enough just with games that sort of look interesting without filling it with DLC, and long tail dlc sale games (like City Skylines, Planet Coaster, your paradox grand strats etc) just pump out dlc for sometimes years, and I might not want to pay initial asking price for some of it, but if its like 10p for a bruce lee suit in sleeping dogs or whatever, I'd pick that up in a sale and give sleeping dogs a bit of a replay.

there is a box for 'dlc on sale for games you own' currently, next to the wishlist box, but where the wishlist box has an expand all, the dlc one doesn't and seems to just be dlc for most recently purchased (so mines filled with Gladius stuff as it was in a recent humble monthly)

I own this: Don't bother. It's a pretty bad card-game and the story isn't really there. (The DLC is buggy as well)

Don't get me wrong, if you can get it for cheap (on sale for like $2-5 total like I did and right now?) it can give you some fun, but it's not that good nor a "hidden gem."

The beginning is sorely unbalanced. There's an achievement for paying off a debt that you can't get via normal methods (due to card battles counting the timer down), for instance.

The card game gameplay is like Uncharted: Fight for Fortune (or SolForge if you've played that) where you're bashing cards against each other and the bigger number kills the lower number (while taking damage) and trying to get those numbers to produce "Objective Points" while hackers and other support cards can speed the process up.

It's not terrible but I can't really recommend it. It's like a "A" game not a "AA" (hidden gem, IMO) or "AAA" game.

I paid like $5 total for it, and I wasn't disappointed but let down by it's ambition being really missed.

Been playing some today, it's still a bit rough around the edges but clearly has a ton of potential. I love the visual style, too, kinda reminds me of really old-school blocky low-res texture CG, like the kind you'd seen in some 80s corporate presentation.

Some knock down bargains all for under £1 (UK prices, #dealwithit 8) ):

The Room (https://store.steampowered.com/app/288160/The_Room/) (also the sequels) - Myst x Escape rooms x HP Lovecraft, they're all a couple of hours to finish but they're all fairly logical and you're not doing too much pixel hunting or weird jumps in logic

Sonic Generations (https://store.steampowered.com/app/71340/Sonic_Generations_Collection/) - I'm sure everyone here is familiar with sonic

Quell collection (https://store.steampowered.com/sub/66682) - 3 puzzle games for like, half a quid

Bloons TD 5 (https://store.steampowered.com/app/306020/) - Super solid Tower Defence game, imo better than Bloons TD6 (which is also on sale)

Just Cause 2 (https://store.steampowered.com/app/8190/Just_Cause_2/) - It's Just Cause 2 for less than a quid brehs, even if you bought it on another platform or don't usually like open world sandbox games

Shatter (https://store.steampowered.com/app/20820/) - I mean, yeah, ultimately its arkanoid turned sideways, but still

SanctuaryRPG (https://store.steampowered.com/app/328760/)  - super super super solid RPG thats nowhere near as 'old school' as the graphics imply

Her Story (https://store.steampowered.com/app/368370/Her_Story/) - one of the rarest things in gaming; a not shit FMV game

Critter Crunch (https://store.steampowered.com/app/61730/Critter_Crunch) - 90s arcade style vs puzzle game, about eating a ton of shit then puking with super cute animals

Macdows 95 (https://store.steampowered.com/app/948900/) - One of those 'figure shit out for yourself' type puzzlers based on a fake operating system

Apogee Throwback Pack (https://store.steampowered.com/app/238050/) - Either the names Blake Stone and Rise Of The Triad mean something to you  or they don't

plus loads of Dreamcast ports, old classics like Kohan, civ 3 complete and slightly faded indies all hovering at this pricetag

I played the Barn Finders "pilot" (demo) for an hour plus and I'm totally going to buy this when it hits $10. I recommend "The Pilot" if you're interested in it. There's some mild puzzles to unlock all the areas in the barns and storage units you get. Then you have to clean up and fix some of the items you find before you can sell them. Then you can haggle with customers.

Negative is that I couldn't use the axe to bust some heads of the thieves and bury their bodies in the swamp. Er, I mean, I assume that's why these fellers would do. Also you might have four dudes in the store but only one you can deal with, it might just be a demo thing I assume as they have timers attached that you could run around and try to sell to each in the full game.

Also there's basketballs to shoot, like in Saints Row 2 and Deus Ex: Invisible War and... I'm probably forgetting some others.

It's kind of getting into "why is SFA2 better than SFA3" territory, into nitpicky personal preferences based on extensive play, but broad strokes;

Some last minute super cheap underdogs if you have money burning a hole in your pocket. The following are some serious ass bang for buck.

(https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steam/apps/400170/header.jpg?t=1572448297) (https://store.steampowered.com/app/400170/The_Incredible_Adventures_of_Van_Helsing_Final_Cut/)
Really decent ARPG that's, let's say, is heavily inspired by that Hugh Jackman / Kate Beckinsale film, and plays very nicely with a controller.
The "Final Cut" version is actually a 3 games in one bundle, so think of this as the Diablo Battle Chest Blizzard won't fucking sell.

(https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steam/apps/42890/header.jpg?t=1493285878) (https://store.steampowered.com/app/42890/Sword_of_the_Stars_Complete_Collection/)
Really deep space 4X game with a great mesh between narrative and mechanics; every race has their own method of space travel, which affects every aspect of their civilization. Randomised tech trees, so there's no optimal route to follow every game. Full unit customisations for your fleet. Read some of those reviews; it launched as a buggy mess, and its sequel sucked, but this game with all its expansions and patchess... *mwah*

(https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steam/apps/322190/header.jpg?t=1587121034) (https://store.steampowered.com/app/322190/SteamWorld_Heist/)
Super solid little turn based strategy game; imagine Xcom as a 2D side scroller. Now imagine instead of RNG accuracy for shots fired, you have Scorched Earth / Worms style targetting instead. Now add a metagame where if you shoot someones hat off you can collect and keep it. Now wrap it all up in a robot steampunk aesthetic. IF you're eyeing up the DLC, the extra character one is worth it, the hat ones probably aren't.

(https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steam/apps/214730/header.jpg?t=1594214842) (https://store.steampowered.com/app/214730/Space_Rangers_HD_A_War_Apart/)
It's like Elite, from a top down viewpoint. Also a janky ass 3D RTS. Also a text adventure.
If you're going to make a sandbox game, you might as well kitchen sink it I guess. Just ridiculously packed with content.

(https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steam/apps/251130/header.jpg?t=1572617041) (https://store.steampowered.com/app/251130/Chroma_Squad/)
Decent little TBS title, with a silly plot and a whole lot of obvious nods to Power Rangers.
It's no Fell Seal (https://store.steampowered.com/app/699170/Fell_Seal_Arbiters_Mark/), but its definitely worth the asking price

Quote
An ultimate military survival FPS experience that drops you onto the war-torn eastern Slavic country, Cherniv. After a decade of civil war, Terrorist organization, “Uman Brotherhood,” took control. Countless innocent civilians were slaughtered. Worse for Cherniv’s young women, they were enslaved to suffer more deeply from barbarian acts. Play as Victoria, a former 24-year-old college student who managed to escape from slavery. You will carry the thin line of hope, and survive from hazardous living condition and terrorists’ hunting. As most good male Chernivians fell, you need to unite all women of your country. Eat the sorrow, drink the pain, fight to live another day. Sister of Cherniv will never surrender to terrorist regime. This is her war till her last breath.

Looking a lot better than before. Animation still looks pretty bad which is probably why they're still doing major scenes in comic book cutscenes instead.

I have very little faith that this will be good, but I'm open to being wrong when it comes out.

Quote
The spider - mankind’s most ancient and deadly nemesis. As a licensed Kill It With Fire exterminator, it’s time to fight back! Assemble your arsenal of increasingly excessive weapons, track spiders across suburbia, and burn everything in your path!

To defeat spiders you must exploit their one weakness: FIRE. Or bullets. Or explosions, throwing stars, gettin’ smushed by stuff...pretty much anything, really. But that doesn’t mean it’ll be easy - first you’ve gotta find the spiders. Use state-of-the-art arachnid tracking technology to pinpoint your quarry’s location among hundreds of potential hiding spots - then, torch everything and smash the spider with a frying pan after it runs out. It’s the only way to be sure.

Features
Dozens of weapons.
Creepy crawlies.
“Realistic” fire simulation system.
Gratuitous chaos and destruction.
Finally learn the truth about spiders.

as a bit of a follow up, the Kill It With Fire demo has like one tutorial stage and three whole regular stages and was ~30 min of play for me, others are saying ~45 min as some of the clues/goals can be a bit obscure at first, I did try to open a door for a few minutes before realizing the number on it was how many spiders I needed to kill first then I figured the rest of the mechanics were similar

you get a bunch of the weapons to play with, a variety of spiders, different locations including kitchen, garage, etc. during the demo

I did not manage to kill a single one with a throwing star, I did get one with the pistol though

was a pretty good demo, though maybe I got my fill on it for now, unlike BarnFinders which I just wanted more of after doing the demo

the forums have people bitching about the framerate and such but I didn't see anything at all problem wise on that front, I'm still on a 1060 6GB too so dunno

I have  a feeling sneaking feeling that was fixing the Bethesda game loss glitch that happened yesterday where certain Bethesda published games that are on sale would disappear from your library and you couldn't play them but they'd still show as in library on the store page.

My Wolfenstein II disappeared yesterday.

It's back now.


That was probably one of the biggest steam fuckups in recent memory since millions of users lost access to their games, so it makes sense they'd jump on fixing it ASAP and it probably needed a server reboot/update or something.

I saw the Era thread on this and it looks sooooo up my alley. An actual legit good srpg with good animu story and nice art??
But they're saying the campaign is like 100 hours long which I don't want to get into right now. That is a lot of fucking time. TO/FFT and stuff ain't that long and are like 50 hours. 20-50 hours is a good time to devote for an rpg/srpg. Anything over 60 hours and you better be Persona good to be worth the time investment.

So Steins;Gate 0 keeps going on sale for $14 but it never goes on sale on Switch and it's $30 there. I only really get through VN's portable since they're basically books. I thought about this and realized maybe I could stream the PC version onto an ipad to get around this. So I've been messing around with steam link. Surprised I never tried this before.

It's not great, the resolution doesn't match with my tablet and so it's not full screen and I find it annoying having the little cursor buttons on the outside edges, but otherwise it seems pretty doable for getting cheap PC VNs and playing them portable.

I used to use my laptop for portable VNs but it's old and in the closet now, so hopefully this works as well. Otherwise might have to dust it off to get my $14 worth out of Steins;Gate 0.

Not enough games have cool destruction anymore. I remember that was a big thing devs would go for during the PS2/PS3/X60 era, bigger and more destructive environment.

Red Faction Armageddon felt like the pinnacle of that.

Then devs just kinda gave up on pursuing that direction. Wish more stuff had freeform destructible environments again.

I'll probably give it a round and then delete it again because it's team-based and has (had?) no solo mode like PUBG did to where I could camp on the far side of the map and top-three consistently.

Read the Apex community has been severely disappointed in the new season's grind for XP and whatnot. Supposedly would require something like 3-4x the play time to gain the same amount as the prior season. Steam was bombarded with criticism from long time players. Then the devs announced they were reverting to a less aggressive system (half the time to gain the same, which some were still critical of).

EA pushing them in that direction I suppose?

Pixelart metroidvania? puzzle platformer? somewhere between the two?
One dude made this, and it took him forever, it looks beautiful, and is firmly in 'yeah, that's a fair price' territory now

These are sort of two sides of the same coin with an intertwined... I'm going to say narrative, even though its fairly opaque as to wtf is actually going on.
The Cube Escape games are locked room puzzles
The Rusty Lake games are... still sorta locked room puzzles, but much more story driven, covering various historical events alluded to in the Cube Escape games, and there are some satisfying payoffs and connections playing through them.
Also let's say heavy heavy twin peaks vibes, if that's your bag

It's Celeste, breh. If you didn't pick it up already for some reason, you should probably pick it up if you like platform games.
It's a pretty good platform game breh.

What? Is that a pricing error? No? It's actually priced to fall into that steam dregs bucket along side shit like anime stranding, wet pussy hentai and wanking simulator?
Okay then.
It's a pretty good point and click that has time travel as a mechanic.

Super charming and under-rated metroidvania where you play a dung beetle and most of your traversal is done via pinball flippers.

Quote
A recent beta update for Steam has added new features for gamers using Xbox controllers. One of the more interesting additions is for Xbox Elite controller users, who can now use Valve’s software to bind the accessory’s rear paddles in controller configurations. The feature gives players more flexibility with how to use the extra inputs on the premium controller.

Other updates for Xbox controllers include the ability to bind the Series X gamepad’s share button in controller configurations, and the ability to use more than four Xbox controllers with Steam at a time. Support for trigger rumble has also been added for games using the Windows.Gaming.Input API.

THERE ARE ALSO NEW FEATURES IN STORE FOR PS5 CONTROLLER USERS
The Steam beta client also includes a new drop down menu for PS5 controller users, which lets them customize the controller’s LED. It can now be permanently enabled or disabled, or else enabled only when multiple controllers are connected. The update also adds support for the Wooting Two keyboard, which has features like analog key input.

For now, these new features are only available in Steam’s beta client, which you can opt into by going into the Settings menu, selecting Account, and using the drop-down menu in the Beta participation section. The Xbox controller features will also need to be enabled in the General Controller Setting section of Steam’s settings, and require a driver to be installed.

I'm working with a small team during Covid on a fantasy card game for kids (10+) that is based on learning how to deal with anxiety. It's inspired by Munchkin and the goal is to eventually have a physical deck to purchase, but right now it's fully playable on TTS and we'd love to get input from people on it, even if you don't have kids. If you're interested shoot me a message and I'll give you info on how to access it from the TTS Workshop. Takes about 30 minutes to play. If you're already friends with me on Steam, I made a post with the info about it yesterday on my wall, too.

As game dev becomes more and more available to the masses through free engines and easier to use languages, indie devs will face what authors and artists have faced in their fields where the barrier to entry is only a pen and paper. That being maybe your game idea just isn’t that good / original when it comes down to it. And now everyone and their grandmother is making a game (if they want to).

I just want to chime and say it's really annoying that Total War: Warhammer II has both 1) Never dropped below $20 and 2) Doesn't even have a complete edition with all the DLCs included.

I'm not a Total War fan or a Warhammer fan, but both are franchises I've been interested in exploring and looking for an entry level game to get me into them. But been waiting for them to be cheap or in a bundle. I guess with III out soon, they'll finally start discounting II after III is out.

I do have Total War: Warhammer 1, but by the time I got it in some bundle or for dirt cheap everyone said II was so much better that it's not worth touching. I doubt III will make II irrelevant so I guess I'll try II next year or something.

Quote from: https://freebeacon.com/latest-news/video-game-that-allows-users-to-slaughter-israeli-soldiers-violates-us-anti-terror-laws-legal-group-says/
The online gaming platform Steam is set to release a video game in which players commit acts of terrorism on Israeli soldiers—a virtual experience that a legal advocacy group says violates U.S. anti-terrorism laws.

Steam, the world’s largest gaming distributor with 25 million users, has set a December release date for a new game called "Fursan Al-Aqsa: The Knights of the Al-Aqsa Mosque." Players will experience the game from the view of a Palestinian militant as he fights his way "across Palestine" and murders Israelis standing in the way, according to a game preview listed on Steam’s online portal. The game urges players to "join the resistance now" and includes the tagline, "With bullets and blood we will free Palestine."

The game is already generating fierce pushback in Israel, and a leading legal advocacy organization is petitioning Valve, Steam’s parent company, to remove the game from its store, maintaining that distribution of the title violates U.S. anti-terror laws.

"This game, with its unhinged glorification of violence and incitement to terror, may place Valve in direct violation of United States anti-terror laws and subject to potential civil litigation," the International Legal Forum, a nonprofit advocacy group that combats anti-Semitism and represents more than 3,500 lawyers and civil society activists across the globe, wrote to Valve on Monday, according to a copy of the letter obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.

"In allowing the use of your platform for the glorification and incitement of terror, your company may be in breach of a number of U.S. anti-terrorism laws, including, but not limited to, Section 2339 of the United States Code, which prohibits the providing of ‘material support or resources’ in the ‘preparation for, or in carrying out’ a violation of certain offenses, including terrorism," the group wrote.


Valve has not yet responded to the International Legal Forum’s letter and also did not respond to a Free Beacon request for comment. While video game makers have large artistic leeway in the titles they publish, a game centering around Palestinian terrorism could be seen as a recruitment tool for jihadist militant groups that want to destroy Israel and kill Jewish people.

Arsen Ostrovsky, chairman and CEO of the International Legal Forum, told the Free Beacon that "although for some in the gaming world, this might be mere virtual reality, for Israelis, this is depiction of real life, having sustained decades of Palestinian terror, intifadas, and ongoing sprees of stabbings, vehicular ramming, and shooting attacks."

U.S. citizens, he added, "have also been killed during such attacks. In the event further attacks and loss of life arise out of this display in pure barbarism masquerading as a ‘virtual game,' not only blood, but legal liability, will be on the hands of Valve."

The game's official summary on Steam’s website indicates that the primary character is a Palestinian militant and that countless Israeli soldiers will be slaughtered throughout the campaign. The game also tracks milestone such as "headshot" and "killing streaks," rewarding players for the efficient murder of Israelis.

"This is an action game which addresses the Israel-Palestine conflict from a Palestinian perspective, breaking the cliché of portraying Arabs as terrorists," the game’s publisher, Nidal Nijm Games, states on Steam’s website. "You will play in missions across Palestine with many objectives to accomplish, epic battles, powerful guns, vehicles to drive and more."

The principal character is "Ahmad al-Falastini, a young Palestinian student who was unjustly tortured and jailed by Israeli soldiers for five years, had all his family killed by an Israeli airstrike and now, after getting out from the prison, seeks revenge against those who wronged him, killed his family, and stole his homeland, by joining a new Palestinian resistance movement."

A disclaimer section says: "The player does not shoot Israeli civilians, women, children, elderly, only soldiers. "

The problem is that image of Telaviv City on the Iron Dome Panel Screen. I did not know that image was copyrighted, so the Israeli company who made that image sent this DMCA take down to Valve, and it is a standard to take the game down until things are fixed up. But it is just temporarly, I am already fixing it up. and re-checking all assets to see if there is any other copyrighted material. Be sure it will come back online, very soon, Insha Allah, and with many improvements, like the ability to cancel the Bullet Time effect, an updated Training Mission, and now the Knife Kills work like a charm. So the bad is for good :steamhappy:

UPDATE 10/22/2021: Fursan al-Aqsa is BACK, thanks to help of Allah, thanks to STEAM and thanks to all my suporters!

Don't sweat it, Allah got the game back on Steam.

Resorting to a DMCA because that's the only way to get Valve's attention. :wag

I'm half hoping those morons do try to sue Valve for "material support [to terrorism]" though. It'd be nice to get the law gutted some in a district or circuit by Valve's presumably drunken lawyers.

Yeah I'm never getting through this backlog  :'(
Title: Re: The Bore Steam Thread :monocle

The solution is to just stop beating games. :yeshrug
Next step: don't hoard games that are only mildly interesting (I'm still working on this).

The trick is to redefine 'beat' as 'done with' a game; some games you've pretty much seen everything they have to offer really after a couple of hours, some you can time sink the fuck into.

Check some of the Jacks first jobs in this prologue before playing the full game.
From the creators of Thief Simulator.
Every house, can be robbed, get the right tools and wait for the right time!
Meet interesting characters doing shady jobs.

KEY FEATURES IN THE PROLOGUE:
- check the first small town from the American Theft 80s
- steal from houses, trailers and a gas station
- finish the first heist
- use first tools: hammer and crowbar to break in
- finish shady jobs for shady characters
- disguise yourself as an electrician to fool tenants

If you see a house, shop or a gas station, you can get inside, but learn about the tenants first. You don't want to get caught.

Remember VHS, cassette players and CRT TVs? No? Well now you can get to know them. Tenants will surely share them with you, albeit not knowingly.

Earn cash and reputation in the underground world filled with corruption and crime.

Sometimes the only thing you can do is get in the car and drive as fast as possible. But be careful, the cops are not playing around and will chase after you.
Make sure to bribe the police to avoid being wanted.

Join the wildest party of the year! If crashing parties is your greatest passion, then this game is definitely for you. Step into the shoes of a young man who has no mercy for party people and become famous as the King of Party Crashing!

You’ll be sneaking into parties filled with strangers, where nobody will know or expect you. Don't draw any attention to yourself, blend in with the crowd of guests or sneak without getting noticed. Use your surroundings to hide and don’t make loud noises – the guests will hear you!

Choose one of the 20 available suburbs and pick a house where you'll be able to make the biggest number of pranks. Each residential area offers a different level of difficulty and brings other challenges. On a Friday evening many houses are buzzing with partygoers – explore the area and choose one where you can wreak the most havoc!

On each level you can complete several side tasks, for which you'll be able to train new skills. Choose the additional tasks that interest you from the task log and complete them!

Smear the kitchen knives with blood and leave them in the living room. Put rotten eggs behind the bedroom wardrobe. Pee into the pool. Throw cockroaches into the salad. Turn the partygoers’ life into a living hell!

Use the talent tree. Do you prefer to move noiselessly or run faster? Do you want to learn how to break locks or make smelly traps? The decision is yours!

Isn't the deal with the TW games pretty much the same as the deal with the Dawn Of War games, where they're all basically the same game, but you get different factions accessible the more you own (so buying TW1 gives you humans and elves or whatever, owning TW2 gives you orcs and vampires or whatever, having TW3 gives you chaos and beastmen or whatever)?

I'm pretty sure I've seen it on demo weekend rotation before as well if you're really humming and hahing

Anybody else get the random Disk Write Errors and figure out a way to fix them? I've tried all the solutions you can find (defrag, chkdsk, verify files, etc.) but none of them work except uninstalling the game and reinstalling it which seems to be not what I would consider an actual solution. Steam is the only thing that thinks there's anything wrong with the drive, chkdsk once found a single bad sector and it was in free space too so who knows how many years it was on the drive. It's seems totally random about what games it effects too, the only thing they share is that an update has come along and they suddenly get into this state.

Quote from: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1415890/Hot_Robot/
Hot Robot takes place in a world where a super-intelligent AI unleashes an army of robots to make war on humankind using weapons and projectiles made from sex toys. The story line will therefore be sexually explicit and contain adult themes that some players may find offensive. All gameplay will involve combat with sex toy weapons and projectiles and should only be viewed by adults. Players sensitive to nudity (robotic or otherwise) should avoid this game.

About This Game
Silicone Skirmish!
Take out the enemy team with an assortment of sex toy firing weapons. Pick them off with the Butt-plug Sniper rifle, trip them up with the Anal Bead Bola-wrap Shooter, or slap them silly with a barrage of wiggly airborne dildos! All these weapons and more are in your arse-tickling arsenal. Use them to vibrate your way to victory.

Quote from: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1961060/Pawsecuted/
Pawsecuted exists in an alternate timeline that diverges from ours after the first cloning of sheep in 1984. This breakthrough led to huge advances in gene editing technology, and created a world with zero ethical restrictions on modifying DNA of non-human mammals.
There was massive demand from people who wanted pets with humanlike qualities. Even wild animals were being modified to become suitable as household companions. By the mid-2010's, consumers could conveniently purchase gene mods giving their pets abilities such as speech, upright movement and even higher intelligence. Almost every household had multiple pets, modded for everything from entertaining children to construction work.

In the 2020's, mammals started demanding equal rights to humans. Their demand was simple - nobody 'owns' anybody else, all mammals are free to choose their own destiny. Humanity pushed back, and the Great Mammal War for independence began. War lasted for over a decade and the world was left devastated. By the 2050's, the humans had all but been annihilated and forgotten. The only reminders of their rule are the ruined cities, towns and villages left behind.

Your story begins in the distant aftermath of this war. You are a life-long convict in a work camp run by a zealous Koala. This is all you've ever known and all you expected to ever know. Until one day...

You play as a retired boxer who is looking for his stolen dog. The game follows a classic arcade brawler so prepare to face lots of enemies. Characters and backgrounds are based on old pictures from 1910s, 20s and 30s so this is a true retro game. Play to find:

22 enemies & 3 bosses
16 levels
37 unlockable achievements and backstories
1 car, 1 dog and 1 boxer with 2 fists

It is important to note that a lot of time and research was put into the writing of this game's story and themes, all historical people and events were heavily studied to make sure everything is accurate. This was taken extremely seriously and any naysay will not be tolerated.

Diofield Chronicles doesn't have cloud saves.

Why steam leaves this up to the devs when you have devs like SE ones who can't spend the 5 mins to turn it on is beyond me. Steam should just automatically do it on their side.

【NOTICE】
Traveler, remember one thing: you feel like you are who you are, and you feel like you are real, when in reality you are probably just an NPC in someone else's world. But there is another truth that the person who controls your NPC in another world may also be played as an NPC by people in another world...


Explore this endless world, because you will never find the end, and your journey will have no answers... In other words, when you really touch the boundary, you may have found the true meaning of the world.
【CORE GAMEPLAY】
The game adopts a non-confrontational survival game. Although the player can be reborn infinitely, they will only be reborn to the starting point, and most of the stories are under the mountain (the main world), which is safer on the mountain. The main world has no game boundaries at all, which means that you can't touch the invisible wall even if you break your leg.


Xenro Device is a selector with the game story, you can select the story you want once you complete the story at least one time.

EARLY ACCESS REVIEW
This game gave me the experience of what it must feel like for a slightly senile 80 years old man to try to play an average video game.

It just dropped me in a mission with tutorial voices that talk over each other if you move forward, everything is too shiny and there are random invisible walls. I followed the shiny path on the floor like a good little player and *BANG*, as soon as I entered a tunnel I got one shoot by an enemy I didn't even see. My character is a spooky robot but speaks like a Chinese schoolgirl. I was looking for the options to check the key bindings but apparently, you can only do that from the main menu. Even then, it is missing lots of things like how to throw a grenade. WHAT IS THIS?!

*Takes a deep breath* I need a moment.

It has been a while since a game left me just so confused. I need answers.

Since Gameloft slapped Oregon Trail fans in the face. I decided to buy and refund this game just to slap them right back. This game came out over 50 years ago for educational purposes. For those 50 years, it's been next to impossible to play without pirating. I've always wanted a mobile version of the game. Apple got a mobile version for the original. But Android never got it. Now Gameloft posts their NEW MOBILE GAME on Steam for $30. A MOBILE GAME! They are selling for $30!!!!! They removed the original Oregon Trail from the Apple Store. Yet still no Android version.

**** you Gameloft!!! I'm not even going to give this game a chance.

Anything woke is a huge turn off for me. Rubs me wrong. There were black cowboys and black frontiersmen in the Wild West. I am a big history buff, and someone like Bass Reeves I find an interesting character. In this version of Oregon, in stead of making your family to travel to Oregon with, you are being forced to use a pre-seleted diverse cast of four characters. Part of the game is role playing. That makes it hard to role play. Anything that tends to be Woke.......the story often suffers. Wokeness may be a worse enemy than dysentery for this game. I asked for a refund. I don't care to support something like this.

SE's pretty bad about sales. Can't remember the last time any of their $40-60 games dropped under $20.
I want to get Triangle Strategy, Bravely II, Harvestella, Star Ocean 6 but will wait until they're at least <$25 in another year. Outside TS at $42, the others aren't even on sale.

But yeah, something seems off. Even the stuff they always put on sale like Trials of Mana at 50% for $24.99 is still full priced. Maybe they will drop later.

About the game

An explicit erotic visual novel following the story of a personal trainer becoming a cuckold for his very sexy client and her overbearing boyfriend, who decided to drop by unexpected at the gym.

Visual Novel Description

Amber Brown is not Daniel’s only client at the gym, but is by far the hottest girl he’s ever had the pleasure of training with.
Fiery red hair, killer legs, and a waist to die for. Not to mention the barely-there shorts she always puts on when she’s training with him…or the sweet moans she lets out whenever he makes her do the squats. She’s hot, confident and always flirting with him. No wonder poor Daniel has a hard time focusing on anything other than those sexy glutes of hers and the training always ends with the need of a very cold shower.
The problem is…she has a boyfriend. And a very cocky one. Travis Finn is not the guy to be messed with, especially when it comes to his gorgeous young girlfriend.

It’s Monday evening. Daniel and Amber are in the middle of their training when Travis walks in and catches the trainer ogling his girlfriend’s ass. He has a reputation to maintain, so there’s no way he can let the boy’s indiscretion pass without some kind of punishment.
Luckily for the trainer, he’s in no mood for punching the boy, so he decides to try another tactic and put the boner in his pants to great use.

Will Daniel learn his lesson not to mess with other guy’s girlfriends?
Follow our story and find out…

What's great is these always trend up to the top when they come out and then you never see them again. There's a whole bunch of them the developers pop out and abandon to make the next "scenario" using as many of the same assets as possible.

Local Network Game Transfers
Added new feature that allows Steam users to copy existing Steam game installation and update files from one PC to another over a local area network, without having to download and install from a Steam content server on the internet. This reduces internet traffic and can speed up installs or updates.
This feature is currently only PC -> PC or PC -> Steam Deck, and both sender and receiver must be opted into Steam Beta.
Steam users have control over who files can be sent to: self only, friends only, or everyone. The default setting is self only.

Swimming pools in luxury neighborhoods, municipal swimming pools, hot tubs after a successful party, a mini wading pool for children or a forgotten pool in an abandoned garden - are waiting for you and your equipment. Use the latest technology, but also old proven tools. On this job, you can't do without a shovel, brush or sponge.

Pool Cleaning Simulator is a unique way to become a slayer of pool monsters - figuratively, but also literally! Get rid of uninvited guests from the pool - something has nested in the customer's pool? Grab a net and find them a new home, although in some cases a net may not be enough.

Raise your reputation, and unlock access to better and better equipment.
Plan your job list according to whether you care about more quick tasks like changing the filter in the hot tub or washing the floor, or whether you prefer to devote yourself to thicker problems that need to be spread over several days.

If you're not afraid of a challenge, and it's fun to see mud, slime, and algae disappear before your eyes thanks to the actions taken, then Pool Cleaning is for you!
Sit back, relax, and take pure satisfaction with every piece of the cleaned surface.

Huge Boobs Studio does what EA won't:
Quote from: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2325750/Sex_Prison/
Sex Prison is an adult-only visual novel. The game tells an exciting story about life on a space prison in the distant future. Players will be plunged into this story in which the main character has been wrongly convicted and sent to this prison.

The player will be immersed in life in a space prison, where the main character is struggling to survive. She is unjustly imprisoned in a prison from which there is only one way out... And sex is the only way out. The game will present the player with characters, each of them with their own story and motivation. Immerse yourself in a unique story that will make the player think about how difficult it is to survive in space and fight for their lives in isolation.

The graphics in the game are in the style of science fiction, combining elements of the future and space. The game has atmospheric music, which will help the player to plunge into the atmosphere of the space prison.

You'll take on various jobs and attempt to fix things without making a total mess of it (emphasis on "attempt"). And if you do break something, just remember to act casual, whistle a tune, and maybe no one will notice.

Butterflies is a video game about inline skating and graffiti. Apparently some people did that before, but they don't seem like they'll be doing it anymore.

I have a Steam now. Feel free to send me dank meme games that I will never play, like a true PC gamer

Nintendo disagrees:
Quote from: https://dolphin-emu.org/blog/2023/05/27/dolphin-steam-indefinitely-postponed/
It is with much disappointment that we have to announce that the Dolphin on Steam release has been indefinitely postponed. We were notified by Valve that Nintendo has issued a cease and desist citing the DMCA against Dolphin's Steam page, and have removed Dolphin from Steam until the matter is settled. We are currently investigating our options and will have a more in-depth response in the near future.

We appreciate your patience in the meantime.

Logical since the Dolphin emu includes the Wii common key apparantly.

Yeah it's also had a page on itch.io for years. Hopefully gets finished soon. I dig the Road Rash like combat.
