All I could think of is some small Japanese publishers like that Recettear game by Carpe Diem and several H-games that are not on Steam.

Don't forget:

Console-war bullshittery that console people claim some folks from the Steam thread are prone to do. ;)
 
Is there any news on Little Devil Inside?
They have been on silence their last update in May.

If ur using a pc and logged onto steam u will see a button that reads add as a friend
Yaysies, I added my first friend! :3
When I got a gaming PC all I was planning to play on it was Phantasy Star Online 2.
In a few years I amassed over 1100 games. There's no point in stressing. Just relax and keep an eye out for anything interesting.

I'm not sure what "born to play on a console" even means.
It means that it is a game so good, that it is truly a console game experience in everything but the platform it is on. Examples could include Freedom Planet prior to console release, or the upcoming Drift Stage. These games play great on a television, scale well, are made with controller in hand in mind, and have a 10 foot interface and require no clunky PC input devices.
 
At least don't go light blue. When I was in high school a girl in another class had dark blue hair and it looked good on her. But I see all those indie devs with light blue and it looks bad.

yea it'll probably be dark blue or like blue highlights so it doesn't compete much with my red streak
 
Yo, a recommendation for those who liked/interested in Vampires: Masquerade Bloodlines.


BloodLust Shadowhunter


The game was made by one person (with a little help) over five years. The person in question is incredibly kind, as multiple people will report they would report an error or glitch, the developer would respond, release a patch to fix it the next day and then message to see if it was fixed for them, among other things. So supporting good devs is good.

But more-so, while the game is a bit rough around the edges, it is actually a pretty good hidden gem, and does in some ways scratch that Vampires: MB itch. It's got heart and some good execution, falters in a few places, but I've been enjoying it. Writing is good, as is atmosphere, combat is a bit clunky, but works. Has some old-school action-RPG aspects some may enjoy. It's not deeply discounted (25% off though was fully released recently), but going to recommend it due to the ambitious mostly successful game that's a bit of a hidden gem made by a good developer.

Here's some screens:

So, you're basically looking for games with native controller support, which means you don't have to use your kb/m at all. Check the game's information on the right for this:

Or you can also search by that category:
Full controller support games on Steam.
 
Because of one Super Bunnyhop's video leading to another Elder Scrolls vid, I found a Morrowind let's play series. Started watching and kinda wanted to play it myself.
Haven't gone far yet, but I already stole that magic sword from one of the guard towers in Balmora and some armor from the wardrobe it laid on, since I was at it.

Let's see now when I get bored of the game and uninstall it. I think last time I did a format during the playthrough and while I had the save files backed up, I installed the game, never got around to launching it or even copying the saves and of course uninstalled it after a few days.
I probably had more fun messing around with the editor than playing the game itself.

holy crap thanks for this, looks rad
 
RTS's with a focus on story and like an actual single player campaign that's more than just MP tutorials seem kind of rare. Is Homeworld the best in that subgenre? Any other recommendations?

Grey Goo?

Starcraft 2, obviously.

That rebranded Shipbreakers game (Homeworld on the ground, from what I understand) is coming up as well.


I can only think of very old games. Straight up traditional RTS mostly seem to follow the formula laid out by Starcraft and Brood War, with an involved campaign that's very similar to the MP.

If you venture outside of the classical base building formula (Ground Control, World in Conflict, RUSE), you'll get other priorities.
 
I bought that Bloodlust game when it came out

It was my one and only refund so far on steam (well at least by choice) >_>
 
Star Wars Empire At War.

Definitely a good one, but old.

I bought that Bloodline game when it came out

It was my one and only refund so far on steam (well at least by choice) >_>

You mean bloodlust? Yeah I turned around and refunded that pretty fast about a month ago. Didn't work with my bluetooth headset, had shitloads of spelling/grammar mistakes right at the beginning, and the dialogue was pretty bad. Vampire: The Masquerade it is not.

Go to the game in your library, on the right hand side find support and you should be able to refund from there.

I have seen some with that opinion, but I've enjoyed what I've played. It is rough in some areas, but in others I think the execution is surprisingly great. It's a flawed gem in my eyes, but it does itch some things for me and reminds me of a few things, and obviously was an ambitious project for the team size. And one that accomplished some things it set out to do, not so in others, but I've enjoyed what I've played this far.

I am curious, for an opposing viewpoint what made you decide to refund it?
 
What the pissing fuck is this horseshit.

iD doesn't own either of those, so they've been lost to history*

* A random "adult" used IndieGoGo to raise $1000, yes, seriously, to buy the rights to Keen Dreams, did so, and then eventually was able to release the game on Steam, but he's not related to iD and the complete pack doesn't include his release. I put adult in air quotation marks because if you read his communications during the process of getting the rights, updating the game, and releasing it, you too would be confused.

Keen 6 is still lost to the abyss.
 
I feel good and only bought black mesa for 10 bucks. The sale just didn't call out to me this year. I usually don't buy less than 5 games for the Christmas sale.

Keen 6 isnt abandoware or the like?
 
What the pissing fuck is this horseshit.

Keen Dreams has been free a couple times in the past few days.
Also, this made me realize I don't own anything id software on steam. It's incredibly sad there's no more cool developer packs like they used to bundle in the past. That's another thing really missing in the sale.
 
It's just that...

Well, I don't know what I want that I don't have. Steam isn't good for game discovery, and just going through a list of 10k games seems overwhelming. I guess the main thing would be non-RPGs and non-shooters and non-rts games that are exclusive to PC that are born to play on a console, with a One controller.

All I want are exclusives for PC that scream console game. Gotta have that delicious 720p with full AA @ 60FPS!
I don't own that many games though....
 
So, I still have enough wallet to pick up Grim Dawn and one of these games. Which ones should I remove?

hbwWd3H.png


Grim Dawn is a lock, and I'm leaning towards Darkest Dungeon. I guess YS is already on its lowest discount so it'll be safe to skip it for now, and I can still wait for a deeper one on TiTS. Darkest Dungeon is a special case, as I predict that the price will go up on release day next month, and I won't be getting this price again until the game hit 75% off next summer or winter, perhaps.

How about it? Will everything be according to Keikaku?

Abandonware isn't a thing. If you're asking whether or not you're going to be criminally prosecuted for pirating it, the answer is no just as it is for a new release game. It does not appear that the owners of Keen 6 care much for doing something with it. But it is not legally available for download or purchase on digital services at this point and won't be in the near future.

I own all but Ys VI and Grim Dawn. Darkest Dungeons is great, but I'd lean toward Trails.

If you want a game with a lot of management and a great combat system, Darkest Dungeon is it, though there's not much story/character there other than window dressing.

On the other hand TiTs has a decent combat system mixed with tons of dialogue and interesting characters. The plot itself is servicable and doesn't follow the usual "save the world" tropes.

Hmmm...... Rebel Galaxy? Arcadey space sim(more like a naval battleship game considering you're locked to a 2d plane, game is 3d though just not the movement plane), you can use a controller, great production values, at the moment exclusive to PC.
 
Trails in the sky first chapter for $10 is well worth it because it offers a lot of stuff for just $10

Yup, XSEED clearly values the game because it's a year and half old and only 50% off, while Ys VI released this year and is already 70% off.
I guess it's possible that it'll go 66% off next sale but it's well worth it at that price. Massive game.

darkest dungeon is definitely a good choice

it is turned based and side scrolling if you don't mind. Its really fun and the atmosphere makes it feel your stressing to get through this dungeon without anyone else dying.
 
Started playing Undertale. I don't know what to think about it yet, it's okay so far, but I don't see where I'm making any choices. I feel like I were
forced to fight my "mother"
to progress, and to switch switches to get through the rooms.

Besides that, I still very much enjoy Rainbow Six: Siege, which will probably be my Game of the Year 2015, especially now that I have other gaffers to play with every day. I also tried playing Pac-Man Championship Edition DX+ with my arcade stick, and it's actually more fun than I remember. I were never a Pac-Man guy, and enjoyed Mega Man games and Sonic cartoons back in the day, but this game is good.

Didn't you can't stand Dark Souls? avoid Darkest Dungeon.. its great game and I love it, but I can't recommend to you with often you commenting about disliking game that made you frustrated, DD can pulling your hair.

On a second thought, I'm actually leaning towards TiTS more, but man why can't they give us 75% or at least 66% off already? It's been a year. >_>

Uh-oh, you're right.
I've just read some of the reviews and discussions, the hard part of the game is actually the harsh RNG system. People are calling it 'fake hard'. And damn, I hate combat RNG so much. Thanks for the warning!
