unrelated but: how has been the traffic on people using/downloading enhanced steam? Bigger than the last sales?

Seconded. I play this solo on PS4 and love it.

I don't understand what any of this means, but it has me fairly certain that Half-Life 3 is releasing during this sale.

I'm wondering if i should happy or sad that i got that joke =/
Brb..the new phonebooks are here
All of them are topnotch from what I've heard and played.
SOMA - Thinking of picking this one up to, seems cool but I've heard they did some unnecessary jumpscares but aside from that it's a really atmospheric story driven game. If I'm wrong here I hope someone corrects me.
Firewatch - A great adventure game wwith one of the better stories I've played. About a guy trying to run away from his life by being a firewatch in wyoming.
It's mostly about the relationship he and his boss develops over the course of the game while talking with eachother on walkie-talkie.
Alien: Isolation - do you like the old Alien movies? Do you want a nostalgic throwback horror game with some of the most atmospheric sound and visual design I've seen in gaming? well this game is for you.
I think the game is totally fine to play even without having any prior experience of alien though it feinetly adds to the game if you like Alien movies.
You cray, J

What's the deal with Kentucky Route Zero?
I want to buy it, but posters are complaining that is has taken over 8 months to get to chapter four (if it ever releases) and the developers don't reply on the forums.
I don't want to buy an unfinished game.

It's one of my GOTY contenders for sure, I absolutely loved it. I was a KS backer though.
I... actually can't compare to it either, as I haven't played them, but as a G1 Transformers fan I adored the game. It's very brawlery, kind of like a well-done 3D arcade game.

Some laptop / integrated graphics friendly game ideas would be welcome.
Stardew Valley OK?

Lol, yeah, after a point it is impossible to keep track of what you own. I am still not sure if mistakenly double bought the DLC for Dying Light, or if the naming conventions for the base game are insane (contains the words "the following", but does not include the dlc "the following"? seems to be correct, because my "the following edition" of the base game now is downloading 5gb of dlc after buying "the following")

That would run on a toaster, so yes. It's pretty fun too.

My bet is that it will get finished, but you are correct on the scheduling. It isn't finished at the moment, and I've definitely lost some of the story nuance because I just can't remember where the story left off like 5 months ago.
Do they still not have a global auction house and have town vendors hired by guilds instead? Always disliked that when I played on ps4

There are 3 of 5 chapters out so far and are all somewhat self contained. Chapter 4 is coming soon but it'll be another year until chapter 5, most likely. That game is pure David Lynch surrealist art of the highest order. It's a game that I think kind of benefits from the long gaps between episodes.
Been two years since episode 3, so maybe a bit too long of a gap. But they are close to having episode 4 done and I cannot wait to play it.
I'm literally the opposite of a PC gaming expert but I'd imagine SDV would work, if you like platformers Shovel Knight is fantastic as well.
AFAIK they've been making that game since ~2013. Its been on my radar for years at this point but I'm waiting until the entire thing is done.

I got XCOM 2, Rise of the Tomb Raider, Penumbra, SOMA, Witcher 2, and The Long Dark
Quick question, are most of the bugs fixed in XCOM 2?

It's not as narrative driven as other episodic adventure games so a long ass wait for chap 4 isn't a great reason to skip out on such an incredible game.
Very abstract presentation. Reminds me of David Lynch stuff. So good.
very much OK
SOMA is essential. It's perhaps one of the bleakest stories told in a video game, told mostly through it's wonderful atmosphere and environmental design. Lots of good philosophical ideas to really dig into too.

I guess over 8 months is a nice way of saying 2 years and 2 months.
I should probably add that I still recommend it. Even with the time it's taken what's come out so far is amazing.

Do you like to be empowered when you are playing a game? This game will crush your spirit and take away all your hope.

Was not expecting to see gta5 for almost half off. If my online character from ps4 can be transfered to pc, I just might hope on that. It'll be nice to play that in 60 frames and better graphics.
It's also the prettiest game ever.

Still no auction house. That would be nice though. The game's not perfect but I find it enjoyable for an MMO.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
Way bigger, and much bigger than anticipated. PC Gamer put up an article about the Steam sale and linked to the Chrome store page (thankfully not the main domain) so that's brought in a huge influx of new users as well.
So far there have been almost two times the number of people hitting the API servers than the new years sale, and nearly 3 times as many people as last year's summer sale.
The servers still haven't totally stabilized but I think in a few more hours most of the heavy load will die down and they'll be able to consistently handle the traffic.

Went through the discovery queues and saw dead by daylight. I like survival horror and games like L4D. Seems like a pretty safe bet for me but I heard it was light on content. Any opinions?

True, and this can be experienced independently from the crushed spirit and complete loss of hope in the tutorial-esque first three hours!

Remember that Hover Junkers is VR only (and Vive only as far as I know)
So I tried to buy some games but for some reason Steam's servers momentarily bugged or something and it told me I hadn't been charged for those games and I should contact support.
I have an email from PayPal saying that I ha e sent Steam money, however. But I haven't received the games.
Anyone know what is going on?

I'm getting Vampire Bloodlines or whatever. So many people have talked about it and it's on sale. Now I need to figure out what mods to get.
If I can find it there's some huge reddit thread somewhere of all the best mods for it.

Witcher Vets should I start 3 on hard? I've played it before on normal on ps4. How tough is hard mode?

Elder Scrolls: Online is a fantastic game. It's the only MMO that I've ever been able to get into and it's still got a huge player base. I'd fully recommend getting it. As others have said, it's a very friendly solo experience. I've bought the game on both consoles and just recently bought it on PC but I've never played with anyone or even joined a group before. To me it honestly feels like "Skyrim: Online" more than an MMO.
The game gets better with difficulty, yes.
Posters whine a lot.
it's true there's a long time between episodes, but it doesn't seem in any way in danger of being abandoned or anything.
Man what a softball question.
Fallout 4 is a bad RPG and Witcher 3 is a great RPG.
