Just wanted to remind people that aren't sure, Puddle is worth $1, it really is.
Talking about Steam GOTY. I blame Valve and cards... I finished like 2 games from summer sales till now and I started hundreds
I play games with cards to get the cards and see how games are, then I buy more games with cards and play those. IDK... can't see myself finishing any game ever, because of those damn cards.
Help!
What I wanted to say, I finished too little games to vote, and I'm not even sure I finished any game released in 2013.
But if you absolutely have to know my opinion, Sonic transformed and 99 spirits would be in my GOTY list (yet to finish both though (><)

Feel free to do it
Judging from his thread history, he prefers the loli moe type instead of what normal people liked.
The achievement might have been what initially bothered him, but I wouldn't descibre OCD as a mere "didn't like" or "upset".
If he's anything like me, it would be more like a feeling that his account was "infected" which would lead to a state that goes anywhere from being uneasy to constant distress.
Those states can be occasional (in this case it could be whenever he boots steam, when he sees the game, when he thinks of steam) with any kind of duration depending on how much it bothered him or even constant(basically all the time until he solves the issue).
At worst OCD can leave someone completely incapacitated for long periods of time.
While his solution might seen extreme, it makes "sense" from where he stood, as an easy solution to something that was afflicting him greatly.
Anyway, I apologize for going somewhat off topic.
Glad to finally know what it was
JaseC, if that's any comfort, a friend of mine lost his AC4 save too - around 7 hours at least, according to him... and he works on the game. So even people from Ubi are ultra frustrated with this right now, hopefully it'll get fixed soon.
Regarding Joel mcHale... I honestly don't think he's a complete douchebag - just that the broom up Keighley's arse is so strict and unforgiving that he can never allow himself the tiniest laugh, and he apparently feels like professionalism = being a robot. If Joel had been with someone "cooler", it'd all have gone way smoother. I also think he really does play and enjoy games - he had to be aware of the kickstarter fiasco to throw those jokes at Tim Schafer, and even though he might have been briefed before the show he had to have been at least slightly familiar with the whole concept. But if I had to co-host a show with Keighley, I too would do whatever I could to distance myself from the uptightness and immense nerdiness of it all...
Anyways, is the voting for the Steam GOTY over? I didn't get the chance to submit my points

I sure hope not, I won't have time to go through the games I played on steam in 2013 until some point next week at earliest.Anyways, is the voting for the Steam GOTY over? I didn't get the chance to submit my points
kickstarters are common knowledge these days, they are often done for Tv Shows and Movies. That is why Joel knows about the kickstarter concept

Voting ends when this thread closes, so you still have time.
The problem I'm running into is that this year has had few standout games. Right now I'm stuck with only four that qualify for placement.

Not to 95% of the people I tell about them.
Yeah, but that doesn't mean Joe Puplic is hip to the lingo.

Yeah but I was talking about Joel McHale. A TV star would definitely know about the veronica mars kickstarter.
Can you tell your friend to get Tintin and King Kong on Steam? Oh, and can be bring back Anno 1404/1701, too?
Also:
- 75% off Naval War: Arctic Circle ($4.99), and
- 50% off Torchlight Complete* ($8.75)
* Only Torchlight 2 is Steamworks; the original is DRM-free.

I don't really need a tag, but I figured I'd get one to make people jealous. Is it working?
I cannot stop seeing this as Dr.Light looking at me disapprovingly with a tiny, tiny mouth.
What did Mega Man do to disappoint him so.

A bit of Aussie bias here, but I think Particulars is worth checking out if you have a key. It has a bit of class as an action puzzle game.
I don't know what I expected.

If I knew anyone who had the power to do that, it'd have been done ages ago
Without any Aussie bias, the best Aussie game is Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords, it's so ridiculously good, that no matter how many new games Infinite Interactive makes, they'll unlikely make the game that good as original PQ is. (><)
edited: I wouldn't mind another proper Warlords game too. They unlikely to try that, no?
toddhunter

Probably not too far wrong. I actually remember sitting down to play PQ2 on the iphone and wondering, "why not just play the original?". Kind of ruined the matching genre for me.
It looked interesting back then when it wasn't greenlit, but not "$7.50 interesting".
I'll pass for now.
Well, you see, that was a serious matter. But don't worry, I can always go back to calling her Dobby! Or Ronald McDonald.I think this is the first time you've used her actual name and not Jar-Jar.

You can try it online at http://www.kongregate.com/games/flippfly/race-the-sun
To me it is a "huh ok" kind of game.
Man, it's hard coming up with my GOTY choices on Steam as I tended to buy games on console up until recently when I got a new laptop, and I've mostly been buying games in bundles or the sales since then, can't remember what was actually released in this year! My most played games this year were all released before 2013, pretty much. Got a few choices lined up though so will have a look around in my library and see if I can jog my memory.

Anyone knows if there really will be a second "mission"-pack for Saints Row 4? I bought the Season Pass for 2 keys and was kinda disappointed by the 45 minutes Enter the Dominatrix.
So I wonder if they forgot about the second "story"-DLC...
Edit: Okay. Just saw. The DLC was released today. I still think the seasonpass is too expensive. I am sure the second DLC also wont offer more than 1 hour of gameplay.

And thus one of GAF's greatest mysteries is solved. I would have never guessed it.
If there's something SR3 is sorely lacking is in the tentacles department. Let's hope SR5 fixes that.

Wasn't there a purple tentacle sword for SR4?
Chairmanchuck

Thats an appropiate price for that. For 9,99 normally its far too expensive.
I mean. The cutscenes in Enter the Dominatrix are just Artworks from the cancelled Stand-Alone Addon...
It kinda tells the story of what we would have gotten, but it was just not long enough. I finished it in like 45 minutes and if I would just count the gameplay-time, without cutscenes, it would be like maybe 20 minutes.
Thanks. Will try this tonight while downloading the 3DS update and listening to my brand new Alan Parsons Project CDs and idling for cards.
No idea, was it? That sounds like a step in the right

I missed out on Blood Dragon+Gunslinger offer during the Autumn Sale, but mainly because the Winter Seal will be the big one, so hopefully it'll go for under $7.49 otherwise I'm getting it either way.

Slow day for Steam today
See also: "At x% off on Steam itself, the game will be cheaper in Russia, so I'll just wait."
I'm in same boat, held on some deals to leave something for winter sale - I was not buying anything until - *laughs*
holy smoke! (><)

Savor it, mate, once the Winter Seal comes, that's when the flashies may be our worst challenges.

It's actually quite useful when you put points into melee.
After insomnia sale and autumn sale, we should have been used to sleep deprivation already, no?
Oh wow, I never thought I'd see this mystery explained. Had no idea that was the same guy, I didn't remember the username but for some reason I thought he was perma'd after the meltdown.

I guess that makes sense. Still don't know how the franchise got as big as it did with the original Saint's Row being as terrible as it was in nearly every aspect, and Volition flaunting their ineptitude with technical matters (performance, art style, overall graphics, etc.) for the longest time.

In a way I guess I'm grateful that ME3 isn't in Steam.
Maybe word of mouth? I heard people like Yahtzee can sway a bunch of sheep.

My personal theory is "the only (noteworthy?) one of its kind back when the console generation started," as Grand Theft Auto IV was still a long ways off and Saint's Row 1 was heavily advertised if I recall correctly unlike the Xbox 360-versions of Just Cause, Scarface and so forth.
Still can't fathom how so many were so willing to ignore the glaring faults (which were plentiful to put it lightly) it had though, and it even got good critical reception.

By the time GTA4 had come and the disappointment settled in for those that did not like its paring down of the crazier things like jetpacks and tanks, SR2 came by just a few months later and pretty much double downed on being the GTA that those who saw 4 as a step back would like.
Good luck!
seriously, aside of a game crashing, there is nothing worse than losing saves.
