How are the Marvel Ultimate Alliance ports? Still buggy?

 

[uncredited male]

Almost at $50 in card money now. Only thing I really want to buy is Shadowrun Hong Kong but I may wait due to my will-actually-play backlog.

Thought about DS3 and the new Deus Ex but figure there will be some DLC and eventually complete editions.

 

[Vuze]

Is there a way to filter which games I played for longer than an hour within the last year? I know about playtime sorting in the profile but I'm looking for something more elaborate.

(Just working on my GOTY list)

 

[Hands of Stone]

All I've bought was some DLC for Borderlands 2 (got the itch again after beating Tales)

Played some Devil Daggers, I will let my friend Emma Stone review it for me:

I dig that art style. Is it just a wave/horde mode shooter?

 

[Bboy AJ]

If you're debating what to buy, do not buy Owlboy. Hard pass on it until it's like $5.

GTAV is $25 on Gamersgate.

 

[ParityBit]

I have a Witcher 3 question. I have an Ultrawide monitor and I was looking at http://www.wsgf.org/dr/witcher-3-wild-hunt/en

They mention a hacked exe file. Should I use that to replace the old one? I am not sure if that is okay with Steam and if someone else had used it?

Why?

 

[Stuggernaut]

Waiting for 50% off.

Just buy this if you don't have Limbo...

What are some games on sale that have incredible graphics?

I already own DOOM, GTA 5, and Tomb Raider.

And is AC: Syndicate any good?

Damiani (EZA) might be streaming Owlboy in a bit. I've learned that if watching someone else play something doesn't make me want to play it, then it's probably not worth buying.

And you get a small discount if you already own Limbo on Steam due to the type of bundle it's in.

The Witcher 3, my good dude.

 

[xist]

I dig that art style. Is it just a wave/horde mode shooter?

Essentially yes....BUT.....it's possibly one of the most addictive games I've ever played thanks to the sublime learning curve coupled with it's leaderboard. I started playing this a week or two ago and I'm not sure I'm ever going to be able to move on...it's the gaming equivalent of crack. I hate myself for playing but I just need one more go...

 

[illusionary]

2017 will rock.

Yes, yes it will.



I bought Abzu in the last PSN sale and yet I'm still tempted to get a Steam copy too, given that it's only £4. I *know* that I really don't need it...

no, it is THE wave/horde mode shooter

 

[Vibranium]

all of these test of time picks suck

Age of Empires 2 is a very valid pick. Everything is else is bad, I agree. I voted for PC classic Deus Ex, and would have loved to have seen System Shock 2 on that list also.

 

[kAmui-]

How is Seasons after Fall? Haven't really heard anyone talk about that game.

 

[illusionary]

Keep Axiom Verge and Hyper Light Drifter. There you go.

Spot on.

 

[TheLetdown]

Spot on.

Seconded.

 

[LogicStep]

What good options are there for $2.50 - 3?

 

[illusionary]

Just remembered that I was waiting for Half-Life 1: Source to go on sale... fixed.

Somehow it seems that I didn't have HL2: Episode 2 either.

 

[Monooboe]

I'm about where you are in the game and feel the same. Every quest I feel like I barely got out and everyones sanity is shot. Still trying to figure out all the mechanics. Also, the controller setup is bad and I'd recommend using the mouse to anyone interested. I think this and Thumper will be my main purchases. Still thinking about Batman: Telltale and Firewatch.

Ah yeah I've been playing it a mouse and feels like that's the best way. While I do appreciate control support can't see me going for it.

Darkest Dungeon is ruthless and encourages you to be ruthless as well. You'll learn soon enough that the best strategy is to treat your party as expendable. Use them until they break, and then abandon them for fresh fodder.

Haha yeah, at first I actually cared for the guys... but now I've gotten to enjoy see how much I can make them break while keeping them alive. This game is crazy, so damn good!

 

[illusionary]

What good options are there for $2.50 - 3?

A couple of thoughts (I can't see US prices, but they'll be about that range):

 

[Large Professor]

What good options are there for $2.50 - 3?

Downwell, Spelunky & FTL.

 

[Rhaknar]

What good options are there for $2.50 - 3?

Pony Island

 

[hardcastlemccormick]

What good options are there for $2.50 - 3?

Fight The Dragon
Shadowrun Returns
Shadowrun Dragonfall
LISA
Bastion
Dust: An Elysian Tail
Her Story

EDIT:
Half-Minute Hero: The Second Coming (comes with the first game too)
Heavy Bullets
Tron 2.0
Battleblock Theater

 

[zkylon]

Keep Axiom Verge and Hyper Light Drifter. There you go.

idk i feel like i may prefer to go quadrilateral cowboy + axiom verge

why only those over the rest?

 

[uncredited male]

LEGO LOTR is only $5 people.

Make magic happen.

What logic does Steam follow when adding games to your wishlist? They seem to get slotted in at random locations into my list, without any discernible pattern.

Eisenwald: Blood of November -- MB-AF7DF2288F2F3ECA - Taken by Eila

Merry Christmas!

 

[ThirtyFour]

So I completed Pony Island. It reminded me of Undertale (even if the stories are quite different).
Certainly worth the price it's currently on sale for, a good 2-3 hour game.

date added. You can sort them by name, date, price or rank. You can drag and drop games to change their "ranks"

Hyper Light Drifter is a reductive, moody, stylized Link to the Past. You have to feel the story more than you'll read. You're going to love it, Zky.

Axiom is a little more on the nose with its treatment of Metroid. Similar thing with feeling the story, but Metroid was always like that, anyway.

 

[Rhaknar]

a year where a dark souls game, a street fighter game and a xcom game arent in my top 5 is a good year

Spoiler

theyre in my top 10 tho

 

[GAMEPROFF]

Can I buy a Steam gift, forward the mail to my own adress and have there somehow a link from which I can get the key that I can send to someone?

Yes.

Thanks^^

So I'd have guessed, but, for example, I have 97 games in my list right now - why do newly-added games go in at around #30?

I know about reordering and do so, but thanks.

 

[Sinatar]

by the way, the Homeworld games are 66% off (including Kharak which surprises me), but the bundle with both is actually 75% off.

Oh interesting, since I own remastered already I can buy the bundle and just get Deserts for 75% off. Hmm tempting.

 

[SJRB]

...at some point Steam's gonna stop e-mailing me that games on my wishlist are on sale, right?

I've never had as many Steam e-mails as I've had the last two days, it's insane. Surely this is a bug, I don't remember this e-mail bombardment during previous sales.

 

[Kaleinc]

You didn't notice AoE2 there.

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

Lots of people buying gift copies today. We're having a very decent day.

 

[GAMEPROFF]

Yes.

Eh, how?

maybe i should do hyper light drifter + quadrilateral cowboy?

i kind of really want to play quadrilateral cowboy
