No, it's not worth it
Yeah, seems so. Is there something on PC similar to Real Racing 3 on Android or GT6?
I don't know really, but what about Project Cars and Assetto Corsa (also Italian indie gaming bitches)?
CV game sounds like something I'd rather avoid doing. Would make a nice sequel to Papers, Please though.
Thanks to Uplay ruining my night, I'm working my way through the subs and taking notes. Thus far it seems every new app is tied to three subs: one for the Steam store and two for keys. I wouldn't read much into the latter, though, as these days each new app by default gets, surprise surprise, three subs: a retail key sub, a beta testing sub, and a "Steam Store and Retail Key" sub (see KnightShift, for example). Because the sub ids all progress upwards by one, the app ids by 20, and they all hit the registry at about the same time, I'd say all they're all but certainly tied to the one publisher.

I'm prepared for a lot ofdisappointed people tonight.

It's actually my favorite JRPG of all time
I paid $10 for it, whatevs.
Yes. It's accessible from the main menu, under "Downloadable Content", IIRC.
It's not.
Edit: Somebody adding 300 subs to the registry over the course of an hour, seemingly all tied to ~60 new/previously-unknown apps, has piqued my curiosity. Maybe EA has had a change of heart.
I'm not going to hype myself up but maybe it has to do with the fact that Steam is also hosting a stream of VGX?
It's probably nothing.
I bet it's nothing.
Sure. It's pretty standalone. I'd still play Bioshock 2 first though. I'd actually say it's good to play Bioshock 1 before playing either.

Same studio, different team I think.
At the very least one publisher is planning on releasing a ton of games. It could be a swarm of back catalogue releases or perhaps the company in question is just securing a bunch of apps/subs for future use... or both. Maybe we're getting 100 region-specific apps for Wheelman!
Who knows who's working on it now. They started with a different team, but after its... turbulent history...

I'd certainly be fine with giving ME3 and Syndicate a go if they finally put them on PC.It's not.

I'm surprised there's a market for the PS1 FFs on Steam, especially since you could probably find better ways to experience them on PC, but FF2 is still WOAT.
from the looks of it, it's gonna be a thief: absolution affair
Until you find out it's got multi-player forcefully integrated with the single-player and micro transactions up the wazoo. How would micro transactions work in a stealth game? Quieter shoes? Darker shadows? I better shut up before I start giving Squenix ideas.

One card left, and no more card money to buy it with. :lol
I don't suppose anyone has a Skyrim Wispmother card they're willing to donate to a good cause? If you consider me to be a good cause, that is. Which you shouldn't.

Thanks!
Already played 1 and 2 on PS3, I'll play through them again on PC soon, but I only have a few spare hours at the the moment, so the DLC will be perfect

just wait for couple more levels and do the right thing and start playing without giving shits about kills and stealth. I really enjoyed, just like you, the first few levels but the game gets random, repetitive and just plain boring very quick if you go for the ocd stealth route. I didn't have the patience to try it with killing everyone so i might be wrong though.

I think in general it's more of a principal thing of people just wanting more JRPG's and/or Japanese fare in general on Steam. Since as you said you could in a sense just load up ePSXe and have just about the same version in terms of looks. Though obviously no mod support .
Looking forward to Not The Robots appearing on Steam later this month.
Okay, so, the new games that appeared in the registry encompass the id range 268650 to 270630, and the subs they're tied to encompass the id range of 35619 to 35918. Both the apps and subs -- 100 of each, and the ids increase by the usual increments when a range is claimed (1 for subs and 20 for apps) -- appeared 9~10 hours ago. Who put them there and what games do they pertain to? Who knows!

DDE? Is that something like the Thief: Master Thief Edition?
Digital deluxe edition?
Maybe Nintendo was reading this thread yesterday and is now bringing their classic games emulated to Steam?
NOLF and Heretic 2 in particular would be great.
That's a bingo. I just use DDE as a blanket term to refer to all digital special editions.
Haha, Nintendo to go third party confirmed!

Whenever I pass by Terror from the Deep on my game list I can't help but see Jar Jar in the icon, screaming in horror or howling at the moon or something to that effect.
That's... a lot of (potential) games.
How is the 360 controller for the PC? ust got the wireless adapter receiver.

Haha, I could get behind 50 region-specific apps for each.
I just keep dreaming my friend
Most console ports are built with the 360 controller in mind and have built-in support for it (sometimes even to the detriment of other controllers, like in Darksiders)

I am really hoping that it turns out great, the first two Thief games are in my top five favorite games of all time. I would take solace in the fact that I did get Thi4f along with two others games for only a $6.66 average, I would rather pay $60 for a new Thief that was as good as first two though.
The wide and uninterrupted range as well as the simultaneous timing points to the games belonging to the one publisher and considering this EA does make the most sense, but I don't want to raise hopes.
I'd be okay with something that's enjoyable in its own right even if it eschews tradition. Tomb Raider 2013 was, overall, not a bad way to kill ~30 hours.
It's the best pc add on for me considering I have 4 360 controllers lying around. Great support for it.
TR2013 didn't strip down the game's core systems and trumpet about it in the press, though. Yes, we didn't have real tombs any more, but the game still consisted mostly of traversing environments by climbing and jumping, killing hostiles along the way.
I mean, I really, really hope thiaf will be good, but looking at what they've shown us and told us, I'm not holding out too much hope.

"they should have paid me 35$ to play it" - Derrick after buying the game for 35$ on GMG despite reviews confirming all his worst fears and everyone telling him not to buy it because it's obvious he is wasting his money
To be honest, I haven't been following Thi4f much. All I know is that jumping and special-function arrows are now context-based, the XP system initially present in the game has been ditched, and players will have a lot of control over which HUD elements are used.
I got a play and charge kit; will that work as well If I need to charge it
