Support NeoGAF

[Grief.exe]

They're using a translation layer. Which they could be using here too, as I don't see any mentions of native support, unless Android uses a different type of OGL which requires that, not familiar with it.

Source running on ARM is bigger news imo. Definitely closer to Valve mobile now.

I got that information from the tweet I initially saw and assumed it was in the article.

We are going to have to do some double checking here

 

[Noogy]

So, Shadow Warrior is badass. Having been enjoying it thoroughly, it also started my craving for these sort of modern "old school" FPS games. Any recommendations?

I already have Hard Reset, Rise of the Triad, and the majority of the Painkiller Series.

I'm just trying to find something else to play because every time I get this craving, I end up beating Doom and Quake for the thousandth time.

Serious Sam sort of scratches that itch, although it's more about hordes of enemies and less about level design.

 

[MRORANGE]

Guys, get to page 400 already.

 

[r3n4ud]

Guys, get to page 400 already.

In other words, complain more about Steam being down.

 

[Last Baron]

I wonder what the percentage is like of Early Access games that have made it to full release.

 

[FiveElementNinja]

Should I be idling for cards while Steam is up and down like this? Will they still drop?

The Serious Sam Series? In my opinion the 2nd game is still great (haven't tried the HD versions though) and Serious Sam 3: BFE was lots of fun in co-op.

 

[Wario64]

Mercenary Kings is out of early access, $14.99 till first of April. Also it has cards now

FYI, this is gonna be free (probably) for PS+ next week on PlayStation 4 http://blog.asia.playstation.com/co...2014/03/25/whats-on-psn-this-week--25th-march

Ah, I think he just wanted to say "the first to run on Android" and used "natively" to emphasize it. Because Valve on Android certainly has big implications.

Once more info comes out we'll probably know more.

You are no friend to morningbus.

 

[StAidan]

Ugh, methinks Steam is running on fumes.

The funny part is I can do everything and have not been affected one bit for some bizarre reason.

 

[AngryChinchilla]

I just got a drop, so I'd say so.

we are 201 pages short for that.

Once Valve finally kills off Steam sometime this year, which service are we all moving to?

 

[thesaucetastic]

steaaaaam, why are you down

I ended up fixing my Swapper problem by the way! I just had to run it under XP compatibility, not Vista. Oh, and disable the Steam overlay.

Bulletstorm, Serious Sam, FEAR 2 come to mind.

Pfft 100pp are for old timers.

50pp for those who want to live in the fast lane.

 

[Phreakuency]

Fuck this is annoying. I can't play the PS4 game I want because it's network is down (EA Sports, big surprise) so turn on Steam and can't run a single game because it tells me the .exe is missing.

Whatever Nintendo is using.

Games for Windows 8? Can's wait until it shuts down again in 2-3 years when they get bored of pretending to like PC gaming.

Strange that we would have news of Valve working on a game running natively on Android, considering the Steam application for Android hasn't been touched in years. You would think that if Valve had staff that knew how to make things for Android, they would have started with their own app.

I had a similar experience trying to use the 3DS eShop yesterday and it was down. Then I got on Steam this morning and the store was broken.

VIDEO GAMES.

I remember the days when playing video games you only had to worry about the connection between your game console and the TV.

That is something Microsoft will never get tired of.

Something Valve-Time, something priorities, something HL3.

If you want an oddball suggestion try "Dreamkiller". It has a 47 on metacritic if that means anything to you but I consider that a severe undervalue on the game. It has its problems, a bit boring at times and maybe a lack of weapons but its like Painkiller meets Psychonauts which (imo) works pretty well. If it ever shows up on sale I'd recommend it if you're looking for a game similar to Painkiller.

I'll be joining you. Guaranteed endless support

Well it's a cyclical interest. They'll probably ruin another batch of games that we'll lose in a few years like poor Bulletstorm now.

 

[JaseC]

Desuplayorigog.

 

[Nabs]

Are they really going to charge $20 for Mercenary Kings in a week, or is that an early April fools joke?

FYI, this is gonna be free (probably) for PS+ next week on PlayStation 4 http://blog.asia.playstation.com/co...2014/03/25/whats-on-psn-this-week--25th-march

I guess I'll wait for that $20 4-pack later this year. Welcome back.

I'd hope that's indicative of an incoming android app update with android games support, something that will probably never happen on iOS because reasons

 

[def sim]

Whatever Nintendo is using.

I would love to have a miiverse like system on PC. One on a service I would trust to work, like Origin!

Desuplayorigog.

I can't afford all that!

Capsule.

I don't love GMG that much.

To MS' next PC initiative after GFWL of course!

In all seriousness, I feel that they're going to attempt this again with project threshold.

 

[natertots]

For those that have played Crusader Kings II, how difficult is it to get into? I like strategy games a lot but I have gotten the impression that this game is rather difficult to get into? Any information or impressions would be appreciate.

Steam is poised in an incredible position of power to make this a reality. The only road block is getting the developers on board with providing Android versions of the games already available on Steam.

Making their own app store is nice and all, but making their own app store where I already own 50 or so games would be a tempting enough proposition to get me to use it over both Google or Amazon.

 

[Anteater]

Just finished the lost and damned, enjoyed it better than the main game, and being in a biker gang is more interesting than bowling with cousin.

Time for Gay Tony, heard good things about it!

 

[HoosTrax]

I'm still wondering why we don't have little cartoon people avatars on Steam, like the Mii people and the XBOX equivalent that you can dress up. Seems like an ripe opportunity for more community-made cosmetic items.

 

[Stumpokapow]

God damnit, I bought that GetGamesGo bundle that had Explodemon in it like 2 years ago, but it was such a poorly run bundle that I used a fake email address so I presumably won't be able to get an Explodemon key.

If Nintendo ever did venture into online PC gaming we would need 3 different friend codes just to play against Linux and Mac users.

I got around halfway through Gay Tony on the X360 before I put it down for some reason. I'd like to play through GTA4 and the episodes on the PC but the woefully inconsistent performance is annoying to no end. Maybe I'll revisit the games again when I move on from my 2600K.

I've played through 1st & 2nd Encounter HD, but forgot I had started Serious Sam 3 and never finished it. Thanks for the suggestions!

I remember seeing that game when it released, but the metacritic scared me away. I agree it couldn't be too bad at the right price.

 

[FiveElementNinja]

I just got a drop, so I'd say so.

Ah, you're right. I finally got a drop. It's just taking longer than usual for some reason, probably because I'm idling two games.

 

[KenOD]

Pfft 100pp are for old timers.

50pp for those who want to live in the fast lane.

Bah to that. 100pp has race cars, lasers, and aeroplanes. Its a duck blur!

 

[JaseC]

Ah, you're right. I finally got a drop. It's just taking longer than usual for some reason, probably because I'm idling two games.

Yeah, drop times increase exponentially when you idle in more than one game at time -- the days of being able to smash out multiple games at once are long gone. For best results you should idle in just the one and restart the game whenever you earn a card.

If Nintendo ever did venture into online PC gaming we would need 3 different friend codes just to play against Linux and Mac users.

Their thing now is a lack of unified account so every license is tied to hardware, no? Imagine a PC where we couldn't upgrade and keep our library without filing a police report.
