There's specific points where Pillars' difficulty spikes like crazy but overall it's pretty moderate (I played on easy but the only difference between easy and normal is encounter sizes IIRC). It's definitely doable as long as you play smart and learn the nuances of the combat system.

You're joking but Tearaway would be the least shocking to come to PC seeing its "success".
Haha, more like "that is an awful broad question no one knows how to tackle"
I'm kb/m 4 lyfe... until I'm not for a few games
Heh yeah, but I'm not sure if it's such a broad question though. There are very few (esp. multiplatform) games with great kb+m implementation, if you ask me. I mean sure, exclusive PC-games often do, but even then I feel it's pretty standard and probably designed with a controller in mind anyway.
DC2 was basically that.
Heck, I wouldn't mind a small, downloadable DC game in the vein of DC2, that game still holds up really well.
your biggest and only milestone is now mine

What does "great kb/m implementation" actually mean?

Can we please not.
Not beta but just Ranked Matches.
DC was actually pretty actiony wasn't it, it was the first RE-like game with move and shoot at the same time
I don't really remember the difference between 1 and 2

You can't move in and shoot in DC1, but you can have your gun drawn. DC2 has move and shoot and is straight action. DC1 really doesn't compare even on easy to it in that regard.

listen to the mad man
I hope this helps:
- The point of the thread is Steam. You can tell that because the title of the thread starts with Steam.
- Things related to Steam are related to Steam. Examples of this are things related to Steam. You can tell because they typically involve the word Steam.
- Things less related to Steam are less related to Steam. Examples of this are PC-gaming or console gaming related things that have some connection to Steam or might be of interest to the thread's audience.
- Things not related to Steam are not related to Steam. Examples of this are posters reviews of the newest Star Wars film.
- It's probably reasonable for people to occasionally mention non-Steam games they've played, or games not on Steam that could be. It probably shouldn't be the focus of the thread for multiple pages at a time.
- If you want an IRC channel, you can create an IRC channel. Then you'll have an IRC channel.
- If you want to talk about something that's plainly not Steam related, there's probably somewhere else on the site to talk about it.
- If you don't like the rest of the site, no one asked you to be here.
- The worry is not individual posts or individual remarks in individual posts. There's no harm in mentioning something not Steam related. The worry is when the thread is off the rails completely. A good way to prevent this is that if you see someone going off the rails, don't indulge them. A good way to deal with persistent zero-content posters is to add them to your ignore list.
- Mostly people aren't trying to be jerks, so polite reminders that the thread is a bit off the rails are OK. Impolite reminders are probably not useful. Insults are against the rules like they've always been for the last 12 years of NeoGAF.
hmm I see
I remember holding my gun out and back stepping in DC1, it's been so long since the psx days!

Thanks very much
I'll suggest to my friend about keeping the save on his PC and letting his host, might put him off regardless but thanks for letting me know.freshVeggie

I'm not feeling Elliot Quest. Gave it a fair try for several hours. No indication where to go next, or at least which places I can't continue with my current skills. Progression is slow. Music is catchy and nice though, also liking the minimalistic pixel art. Might play it for 30-60mins a day.

The 360 analog was fine for fighting games.

It was okay at best for me. Can't play fighting games on analog stick anymore at least not 2D ones.

So when Nintendo drops hardware I wonder if they will put games on Steam or just make their own service like Origin.
Steam.
Steam.
Almost certain they'll have their own service if and when it comes to that. They love their exclusivity too much.
Finally got back into The Witness.
Something like 300 puzzles completed.
Seems like the third prize uses the same redeem list as the second prize, since when I tried it, I got a 'hey, you already did that you doofus'.
The Dawn of War II dlc is a separate redeem list.

Just finished Binary Domain, overall it was really good. I felt like some of the bosses dragged on a little bit and the camera was really sensitive and I could not find a way to change it (I may have just missed it though so that point might be moot).
It's definitely worth a play if you got it free in the recent bundle. Shame it seems like a sequel is never going to happen.

If their client would be anything like their onlineaccount system on their consoles, i hope they'll never come to pc.
Steam.
i'm surprised it lasted this long
goes to show ppl on steam thread are a bunch of shitters

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.
I played a few hours of Cities: Skylines earlier today because it's been on my wishlist for a long while and it's currently free so I thought I'd check it out for myself.
The game is a pretty legitimate city-builder, and it took a while to learn exactly what all the different things did. I've played a lot of SimCity over the years so I started out with a pretty solid understanding, so it didn't take as long to get up to speed as someone starting fresh into the genre.
I liked the game, and I thought the graphics were pretty and the buildings detailed. I like how the buildings "level up" due to a variety of factors, and there is a ton of variety in what can be built. The city simulation stuff gets pretty detailed...
which leads me to my biggest "con". The city simulation stuff gets pretty detailed... in a hurry. Before too long I had thousands of citizens that all seemed to have wanted a bunch of different stuff - I always felt like there was a constant push to expand (which is good) without bringing in the kind of revenue I needed to support those extra services. Before too long I was taking out loans to build a hospital only to have it sink me in operational costs, having to shut it down to generate enough revenue to pay off the loan.
I think it boils down to the fact that I'm just not that good of a city manager. I know a lot of people love playing and tweaking all the little settings though so I know this game probably has a pretty big audience, I just don't know if it's the right game for me.

On the bright side, now we get to talk smack about Disgaea when it launches on Steam in a few days, and there's nothing he can do about it ;p
Hopefully he'll be back shortly .. I'll probably be needing help with that game.
most people including me only played that game for a few hours when it came out lol
i go back and fart around with it when I don't feel like playing anything
Both are inactive for me, I mean clicking redeem does nothing.
I hope they'll fix it
it should last for one more day, no?

I don't know what people are talking about but I like this thread the most when it's on topic and I get impressions/news about and around PC games/Steam games.
👍
I've played Wyv & Keep with a friend and while being a generally pretty standard coop box puzzler with some platforming, it had surprisingly charming writing when everyone voiced their part. Good times.
After Snakebird and The Witness provided some unsurmountable obstacles, it was nice to relax with a simpler title.

LATIN, MATRIPEDICABUS, DO YOU SPEAK IT
Heh, everyone runs into that at first. Then you start a new city and try to apply what you learn, you get past one problem and then get introduced to something new. Then you start over again and the cycle repeats until you get a nicely sized city that's not always at the brink of collapse.

Well, it was a launch 360 game
Damn, I was going to say it looks a lot like F.E.A.R. and wiki is telling me it's on the same engine by the same dev.
Did you try with a different browser?

Where is Cities Skylines free? Or is it just a free weekend atm?

I started Borderlands TPS again. Public games have been a little dead so far. Running Aurelia this time. After a second look through I really like her skill trees.
So do SteamGAFers carry swords? I am trying to get a handle on the community here.

Seems it wants you to make love, not war.
Maybe the round ended early? I don't think there is going to be a next one.

Thanks, I might give it another shot then to see if I can reach a good balance.
Just a free weekend on Steam. Looks like about 23 hours left to download/play.
