Well I did get something from the giveaway. . .
Thanks Modbot! >_> It's free stuff so I can't complain, but it is weird.ModBot said:
I'm not sure if there is a proper thread to post this question in, but I felt like this one is the closest. And I didn't want to make a new thread.
I have for YEARS been waiting for ANY game that is similar to The Last Remnant. I spent 120h on that game and if you didn't like it I don't ace, I loved it.
but ever since, or even before that, I haven't found a game that played and felt the same, both in terms of story and genre and gameplay etc.
IS there a game like that that exists and that isn't ages old? If so, please share with me. :/
(I guess Fire Emblem is the closest I've found, but that's a 3DS game and not exactly the same. I own it, though.)

Look up the SaGa series - SaGa Frontier, Romancing saga, etc and iirc made by the same dev team.

Interesting how they use "SteamOS" and "Linux" interchangeably in that announcement.
I wonder how long it'll be before people start referring to any flavor of Linux as "SteamOS", the way that people used to call any game console a "Nintendo".
been meaning to get Hard Reset. bought.

I haven't played the game for very long and can only go off my memories and a video of the combat I just saw, but hopefully it will give an idea.
Romancing Saga 3 like Terra_Ex just mentioned, Grandia series (combat wise at least), Dragon Force on Saturn (ages old I know, but transcends time), Suikoden 3 of a sorts.
Hopefully you find something that works out for you.
In a perfect world developers will be able to say "Coming to Steam" and it will automatically mean it's coming to every platform steam is available on

So right now, we have officially (and explicitly) announced for Steam OS:
1 FPS (Metro Last Light)
1 racing (Project Cars)
1 RTS (Total War Rome II)
...still better than next gen consoles lineups!
Man, if you actually posted that as a thread shit would be hilarious.

toddhunter thanks for Lucius! Cheers!
In other news, I'm a little concerned about my purchase of Battle Worlds: Kronos. There are a couple of minor issues like placeholder names for objects and windows popping up over each other rendering them un-navigable, etc, but overall it's a pretty solid game. The biggest concern is that there is absolutely no one playing online. I've started a few games that other people have joined, but no one ever takes a turn. I was hesitant to spend $30 for just this reason, but I figured with such a successful kickstarter campaign there had to be people out there who were excited to play. So far no bueno.
No worries. Lucius is flawed and clunky, but it is still an interesting little game and worth a play.
As for Battle Worlds: Kronos, I'm probably part of the problem. It looks amazing, I'm a huge battle isle fan and I'm very keen to buy it...
But it just seems too expensive until I hear a lot more impressions or know there is an active community. Might be a bit of a chicken or the egg problem going on.

To be fair, those are all multi-platform with PC and M:LL with last gen consoles.

Anyone notice a bug in their Steam game count? My community profile suddenly lists 600 games (it's actually 294) and gave me the boost in exp and an upgraded badge for it. My actual game library hasn't changed though.
I think it is a little on the high side too. I wish it was $20ish. I think that would get more people in there.
It is a good game though so far.
I'd totally do, trolling is like my full time job, but I don't know how much would be appreciated by GAF moderation team.
Stumpo! Please? Pretty please? Would be my first thread ever! Would you imagine a better way for my baptism of fire?
SteamOS, will probably support all Linux games supported so far, so it's count is 100+, that's more than the PS4/XBO combined.
Someone please make this thread.

listen to the mad man
You can make any thread you want for your first thread.
The question is whether or not you ever get to make a second one... or post at all again

You guys just wanna see GAF burn.
I'm experiencing something like this, with slight differences between Community, my actual Library on Win and my actual Library on OSX.
Honestly I don't know how many games I have (I'm between 230 and 245
), and that's a shame cause I'm so close to 250 but I don't know how close (aka, how many trash bundles I need to get for the badge upgrade).If you have a separate Steam Machine, it'll run every game, right? Just streaming the non-natively supported games from your desktop?
No, it's the original PC release.

Guys PS4 is gonna support like 400 PS3 games with Gaikai. Thread backfire.
Yes.

Yeah got the same bug. Mine actually dropped I think? I did notice I got my 9 years badge though

Well then...
Also, I need to keep my thread opening privilege at least until I finally open the thread I asked you in private (I feel like I may come out an idiot, asking you and still not opening it, but there were several delays not depending by me), so NOPE.
At least for now.
But maaaaan, it would be [lots of banderas gifs]
I wonder how weighty the games will feel on Gaikai
Speaking of new threads, I wish drinky crow would return.
Gaikai was way better than I expected it to be. Only played it on a super fat pipe though.

Quick question, does anyone had this issue with Steam?
First time ever:
All my games are on the list, but Steam also shows 58 more items as: SteamApp###
Started today :/

It means you've been selected for the beta, you lucky duck. When you get your HW those games will be launchable.

It prevents your videocard from rendering and sending up more frames than your monitor can display in a second. Not having vsync on can lead to tearing (particularly when the FPS drops below the refresh rate), but vsync on can lead to very noticeable input lag. Controllers hide input lag from vsync quite well so if you are playing a game with one, there is no reason not to turn it on.

Welp first of all thanks Jshackles for Greed Corp! Secondly, I've committed a grave sin, as it appears that I already own Greed Corp.
So, reposting this one up as a raffle for anyone who wants it:

vsync means that the card will wait for the vertical retrace (basically when the monitor is done drawing) before modifying the render target. The upshot means that you wont see "tearing", which is where you see two frames at once - one partially drawn overlaying the last frame.
On the negative side it can increase input latency and locks your framerate to a multiple of the refresh rate.
Sorry, I couldn't resist
Oh shit I was sure it was from B-tier rpg Enchanted Arms. That's... not really nice looking.

A monitor refreshes the image it shows every x number of times per second (60hz, 120hz, etc, depending on your monitor). Your graphics card can sometimes produce more frames than what the screen is capable of showing, and thus the two get misaligned. You'll start experiencing what's called "tearing", where you see one half of one frame and one half of another frame of animation at the same time, making it look like there's a tear in your image.
Vsync is a way to bypass this by forcing your graphics card to only render at your screen's 'framerate limit', so to speak. This can produce input lag which can cause a delay between what you push on your input device and what you see happening on the screen. A lot of people find this undesirable though. If your graphics card is unable to produce the same framerate (60 frames a second on a 60hz monitor), it will cut the framerate in half automatically (30 frames a second for a 60hz monitor).
Some games have built in support for Triple Buffering Vsync, which prevents the framerate problem but can also introduce further input lag. It's a bit of a tradeoff either way - so deciding if you want Vsync on or off depends on if you can tolerate screen tearing over input lag.
To be fair that's a really zoomed in picture of an offscreen video I think. (might even be on ps3).
The actual game looks pretty good.
