How's performance in Wolfenstein? Would it run well on a somewhat weaker system? I'm not talking integrated graphics, of course.
It should run okay, but you're going to have a lot of texture pop-in.

I haven't looked but sometimes someone has placed a rather high buy order which you then can take advantage of in cases like this. Gotta be fast, word spreads fast.
This first dlc boss definitely feels made for coop lol. When you hit it you'll see why.
It's really, really good. I picked it up when it was in a bundle awhile back, and put quite a few hours into it. That said, I'd say its more of a daily life sim than a highschool sim, since you also need to budget the social and work aspects while working through the story.
D-Pads are fine, kinda sucks to be on 2P side though. People who use analogue sticks in fighting games need Jesus.
The logical thing to do is to win EVO with a keyboard. Get some of that Fatal1ty money.
It looks like the Steam store is down. =[

God all these bundles recently have been increasing my overall game count by quite a bit. I've bought like 3-4 bundles alone just since the summer sale ended and each has had a shitload of games.
Nuveem is having a sale. Maybe it's not over yet. Am on ipad so it's tough posting link but the dlc was on sale, too.

Cant wait to hear what others think of this!
With Cook, Serve, Delicious! included in that giveaway, I have to point out that Extreme Mode (which is only opened up after you unlock NG+) is hilariously brutal. New orders near-instantly start falling off since customer patience is drastically lower and Super Rush Hour just bombards you with you orders non-stop. If you happen to have something on your menu that takes up more time than it should then tough shit, you're not getting that perfect day. I had to opt for offerings like corndogs or coffee because even beer would take too long in the grand scheme of it all.here you go, guysand sorry it's nothing huge like some of the games that have been given out here lately ... but I really hope someone still finds these games cool

So I won Unrest in a giveaway (thanks again to MakeshiftChef ) and I promised to write an impression about it.
![]()
So I played a little over 30 minutes and the developer mentioned in the Steam forums that this game will last a little longer then 3 hours. It's an point-and-click adventure which focuses completely on the story and the choices you make. The only real gameplay is walking around and talking to other people (I have no problem with that, I love adventure games).
It's in a fictional indian setting with the focus on a city which needs to get through bad times with the help of another race, the "Nagas". You play different characteres and experience their stories.
I love the idea of the game and it's great to see another game with a very unfamiliar setting and new ideas coming to Steam.
So two points are essential for a game like this to make it a good one:
1. Presentation
2. Story
And for me, there lies the problem with the game
1. I'm not a guy who wants to have realistic graphics in every game, but when you are using a graphic style from older generations like the Wadjeteyegames, then you need to make sure, that the style is atmospheric. And with this game it just isn't the case. In the Steam forums a lot of people seemed to be fine with the style, but imho I don't like the style. Might be a personal thing so everyone interested in this game should see for themself if the style is ok.
2. The second point is the story. It is completely told through text boxes. And this might be a personal opinion again, but I didn't like the story so far. It's nothing special and the game does nothing to keep me interested. Also you switch characters really fast and can't feel for them when something happens. A lot of people can be ok with the story, but for me it's not interesting enough to keep going. Especially after hearing that the game just takes 3 to 3 1/2 hours.
So after all I really like the idea and I'm a big adventure fan in general, but this game just isn't for me. But I hope I got your interest and maybe you give the game a chance and may be enjoying it![]()
And i was thankful that all of you posted those impressions as now i know to not set the bar too high for Arkham City. It also made me want to play it sooner just to get back in here and see which impression resonated with me the best.
I get the complaint about posts, but even now this thread is probably the most reactive thread I've been on here in gaf, and by that i mean that almost every time i ask something or post an impression it's almost certain that someone will reply. It really makes this community feel tighter that the other communities, such as the Xbone or PSN threads for example.
I dunno, i see your point but i don't think the thread has devolved as much as you might be making it out to be. Maybe im just having a better experience in here or something, i dunno.

I should try making a .jif at some point to illustrate the difference between the normal and Extreme difficulty. It's intense.
Here's the weird thing thought, the Vita thread, which go merged/changed into the PSN thread started to become a safe haven for the Vita owners on this board (I know because I am among their number!) but for quite a few of them due they only posted the vast majority of the time in that thread, due to the less than stellar view the Vita has with some people on GAF. What ensued then was chattered would centre around games on the Vita but due to next to nothing coming out would soon go OT (and sometimes very, very OT). By and large the Vita thread housed a very insular community that when I would have a look in there I would come out sometimes feeling like I might need therapy.

Gimme a few minutes and ill hook ya up jase.Sadly I only need Ionball 2... but since $3.49 is essentially half off, I'll buy the bundle on pay day.
getting ready for the hl3 stealth release.
Also, how is Batman AO? Is it more like AA or AC?
I just replayed AA and I forgot how disappointing the final boss. AC is still fresh in my memory from when I replayed a few months ago and I preferred AA's more concise story compared to how AC was too big for its own good.
Mokoi got it for my birthday last week, going to give it a shot after work

Steam down for anyone else?
I don't actually have it yet, but I've gotten the impression from people that it's a top-tier hidden object game. It's one of my main reasons for getting the bundle.I love adventure games, anyone know if Clockwork Tales is good?
Steam down for anyone else?
The store is down for me, but the client is still up.
Out of curiosity I sent the my full loot PM to ModBot to get my stats:
Games received: 52
Games/DLC given away: 80
Unclaimed keys: 10 (going to try giving these away today)
Best game received: FTL or Guacamelee
How has everyone else fared?
I missed that how do I do this?
You know if you're worried about impressions getting less visibility you could always post your own or at least engage others about their impressions rather than they slew of random musings, shitposts, off topic and chatroom style rubbish that get's posted. It's not there's anything stopping anyone from posting their own views on a game they have played or engaging with others as long as you're civil about it.

By and large the Vita thread housed a very insular community that when I would have a look in there I would come out sometimes feeling like I might need therapy.
I'm not privy to the exact reason the Staff chose to merge the thread nor am I concerned as that not my business but a lot of the posters in there were not happy but couldn't see that discussion wasn't too focused on the Vita and I don't know how many others like me weren't overly keen on posting in there. I believe Cyan tried to encourage the posters to spread their wings and explore this forum to the fullest. I don;t know how many folks in here have taken a look at the Off Topic side of these forums but there is a topic for anyone to express themselves in (following the TOS of course). I do admit I gravitate to this thread more than any other but it's where my interests align at present.
Though unlike the Vita and it's handful of game Steam has verging on 4,000 so it's not like we're short on games to discuss let alone the service as a whole. There is shit loads we could rabbit on about and have that as the majority of the discussion. And I get that not matter how hard you try to quash off topic chatter it's never going to die down in it's entity but everyone be mindful of what could happen if it goes to far. Mods and even EviLore has come in here and told us to buck our ideas up before so it's not like it's out of the question again either.

Not just you I wonder how long its going to be down...
I missed that how do I do this?
I am curious as well!
He's not angry at the idea of collecting reviews in one thread, he's annoyed by the fact that you even had to come up with the idea because good posts are being lost in a flood of posts about pancakes and Elizabeth Olsen.I'm not sure why you're so angry at the idea, I've raised a (valid IMO) point that the (sometimes amazing, really) reviews/impressions posted here are being lost to time. Because seriously, do you remember the reviews that were posted 3 threads back? Do you want to go through 200 pages just to see what Dusk Golem thought about Home or Lone Survivor or whatever he was playing at the time?
I've just asked if people would be interested/wouldn't mind in having the reviews from previous/next thread compiled somewhere.
And FYI, I did effin post a game impression yesterday.
For people who give away a lot of games, does it really bother you if someone doesn't play it right away?
I'm terrible at playing games I have many games that I bought full price new. I really wanted them. I intended to play them right away. Months later, I still haven't played them. I do that with give away games as well. I don't know what is wrong with me. I honestly don't know what I'm going to play. It doesn't mean I don't appreciate them or I have horrible backlog control. Its just the present me isn't very good at predicting what the future me if going to want to do.
I love adventure games, anyone know if Clockwork Tales is good?
Well, I don't feel like I have been around long enough to offer any kind of valid opinion on what Steam thread should be like and what direction it should take in the future, so here's some game impressions instead.
Finished the first part of Dark Souls 2 DLC. Still love the game. All bosses were fun, had some serious trouble with theStill had a lot of fun. Disappointed thattrio, because of how super aggressive they are. Those two guys are just on you all the time, and then when you think you have a second to breath and take a sip of that sweet sweet estus nectar, you'll probably get a big god damn arrow on your back.Also slightly disappointed at the new gear, at least the stuff I found. Not really rivaling anything I have from base game, so still rocking the same gear after I finished it.cutting the tail from the dragon boss didn't give me a weapon.
The level design is great. The way it's layered reminds me a lot of Undead Burg. But it also has this weird claustrophobic feel to it, lot of tight corridors and such. Love it. Difficulty feels about the same as the base game. I'm still on NG there though, I can imagine that on NG+ and onwards some of the bosses would be pretty hairy.

Do you like hidden objects games? This has a bit more going on like using an item at the right place and other logic puzzles but overall it's mostly that. If yes and you want something to spend maybe three hours in without getting challenged all too much buy it. Artifex Mundi's games also look relatively nice, I'd say they're among the best in that genre.
Gimme a few minutes and ill hook ya up jase.
