What does VCR stand for?
 
Not sure I'm done with the sale but here's my haul.

Pillars of Eternity
Kingdom
Shadow of mordor
Hotline Miami 2
Sunless sea
Besiege
Undertale

Thinking of picking up a few more under $10 games.

Could I also get an inv to the gaf group on steam?

Username: smo0th.J

Thanks!

Sunless Sea is still on my list, not sure if I should get it now or with the next sale.

I just got:

- Life is Strange
- Ori and the Blind Forest
- Her Story

Looking forward playing all of those!
 
Yeah, I give up on Deadly Premonition. The framerate is like 15fps locked (if I'm being generous) and for some reason the game constantly has you looking upwards as default so I cant play the game even if I somehow fix the framerate. Possibly worst port of all time.

What is the point of the trading cards for this sale? Are they just gem fodder? I don't see a new badge...

It's at the very top of your badge tab, not sure how is it possible not to see it.


i feel like maybe developers should just not talk about those things?

like it's ok if you think that and i don't even think it's particularly bad if you lock your game at 30 fps, just don't comment on it

I don't see how not talking solves the problem, it's better to know what to expect, even that doesn't save you from backslash (like FF0, for example), but at least some people will make informed decision and won't hold you accountable for not telling.

or do you mean don't talk about it in general or in "cinematographic" terms, if latter, I totally agree.
 
- launch Tales from the Borderlands on my 1080p TV
- launches at 1024x768
- no immediate option to change it
- asks me to sign onto Telltale account, so I gotta take out wireless keyboard app
- write password but game recognizes it as all caps so it doesnt work
- go to actual keyboard, still goes all caps
- alt-tab, both my TV and my monitor go entirely black. nothing to do
- restart PC

yeah i'll try again some other time, my will to play it is gone. jesus christ fuck Telltale with their PC stuff already

Yep, it's a disaster.

Deadly Premonition was one of my favorite games of 2010. It deserves a waaaaaay better port.
 
I should start a steam curator for "Games that start at a random-ass non-native resolution"

and it should start affecting people's buying criteria

if you're gonna be that lazy to me with a port from the top then idk if I wanna play your game man

throw in a cutscene or start bit before you get an option to change it for good measure too, plz
 
dirt rally discount is paltry as fuck

is it just me or are the discounts pretty much the same as the fall sale
I've been on the edge about Dirt Rally. I didn't play much Dirt 3 so I felt like I could be making a similar mistake. But damn am I glad I went back to it! Dirt 3 takes a while to get going. But once you're over the hump of the shitty gymkhana events you get into some amazing races. The first Trailblazer event was enthralling, the night races on Monte Carlo in the original Mini Cooper. Initially my problem with the game was GFWL, the annoying chummy voice overs and the overall structure of the career. But you can actually get by just doing the events you care about really.

I suggest anyone who has this game lingering in their library to revisit the Steam edition. Codies are very smart doing that port because it's the best advert for Dirt Rally for me. Definitely going to be picking that up in 2016 when it gets a larger discount.

Are you using DPfix?
http://blog.metaclassofnil.com/?tag=dpfix
Now, I haven't actually ever booted up the game, but it's supposed to fix the game. Or at a least make it look and run pretty.
Also, the looking upwards thing might be a joystick deadzone. Did you play with a gamepad or had one hooked up?

The framerate still dives no matter the fixes. It's due to PC uptime and they never fixed it.

Terrible PC port.

It's funny when you read that, and it doesn't sound odd, you just think "yep, sounds like Telltale" :).

I had a similiar experience with The Wolf Among Us, that included it saying "can't connect to server", when I entered my username instead of my email.
 
also im restarting Undertale

fuck it man, my choices mess with my head charless

I also know the game takes resetting into account so it should be fun to go through it still. Im barely in Snowdin

only thing im dreading is the fuckin pokemon ice puzzle

Fine additions to your back log.

I picked up Men of War: Assault Squad 2 (excellent thus far), 12 is Better Than 6 (meh), Sunless Sea (writing is neat but the actual game isn't that fun) and AssCreed: Rogue (yet to launch).

I was close on Call to Arms, but they've only got MP working right now, and I just don't have the time figure out how not to lose horribly every time.

You can early access Call to Arms single play if you pay for Deluxe Edition.

And if you dont know: Call to Arms have nice Emoticon.
 
Just gonna add my own shoutout to Door Kickers

Ridicolous price for a ridicolously good game, thank you whoever suggested it in the last pages, picked it up earlier, havent stopped playing it yet!

A tl;dr explanation would be... top down real time tactical game with pause with plenty of content, progression and steam workshop.

Give it a look if you are interested in the genre.
 
Man going through my discovery queue for the cards has now led me to believe that steam is 100% visual novels and local multiplayer games.

It seems to be themed or something, first day I was getting only survival multi games that I think are least fun possible game to make.
And yesterday (or was it before yesterday?) I was getting platformers for the most part.
 
everyone and their mother should buy Not A Hero btw. Havent seen it talked about here much and $5.19 is the cheapest it's been outside of some bundle.

Never heard of it, but it looks good!
 
Is IdleMaster just stuck on reading badge page for anyone else?

I had it all last summer sale, it was because my inventory and badge pages weren't loading all that time. So first thing is to check if community servers are working, second - can you access your badge page, third, because valve changed how cookies work, you might need logout and login again into the idlemaster.
Idlesmaster is working here for me just fine.

Thanks for reminding me that I still haven't played it...

old key. pretty sure it still works. PM me if it doesn't.
 
I'm sure most in here already have Fallout 3 but for anybody looking to get the GOTY edition you can get it at Game.co.uk for £3.33 and they send you a Steam code.

Best Rainbow Six game since Raven Shield.

Have you tried restarting Windows? For some reason it runs really poorly after you've first installed it.
