ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!Xadhoom said:
Yeah, I forgot to mention that there are ZERO upgrades or improvements to you main combat abilities through the entirety of the game ON TOP OF the fact that everything in the game takes a dozen or two or three hits before being defeated. It really is some maddening design.Xadhoom said:
Another thing I didn't really touch on, but I really did like the recipe gimmick. Although obviously the few recipes that gave your temporarily stronger fire do not make up for the lack of otherwise natural combat progression (though they were extremely useful for bosses and the occasional tough crowd of baddies). I do have something of a soft spot for games with elaborate food systems (like the Tales series).

Is there a rogue-like game like Dungeons on Steam but with lower system requirements?

They just pushed out a big update for the game, figures that you would only notice the new Steam card.SalsaShark said:

Huge thanks for the games!Stallion Free said:
I will admit that these have been a strange contention point for me between my absolute love of old school JRPGs and my disinterest in the apparent meme and reference heavy humor the games are known for. So hopefully you'll have made a new fan out of me.

Going free to play maybe?
I had a wtf! moment earlier when Steam said the Altitude Demo had finished updating. I had to double check to make sure I still owned the full game.
SalsaShark said:
Lookis the same to me. They changed the logo with the girl on the airplane a while back, if that's what you're referring to.
But yea, if Altitude goes free to play... then play it people!
I haven't played it in a while, but damn do I love me some ball mode.
Edit: Nevermind, I just saw the new logo. I dunno, it looks nice.

Frozen Synapse is kicking my butt. I'm only on the third fight and I'm already getting chewed up. The first time I thought I had one of my guys in position to shoot, but apparently he wasn't because he didn't and no one else was there to do anything.. The second time, reenforcements spawned right behind one of my guys and smoked him, and I couldn't get my other two guys over there in time to stop him from taking out the VIP.

Heh, I haven't even gotten past the tutorial part. Basically the tutorial asked me to figure out how to get past a situation, and when I said I didn't know how, it just did it on its own without explaining.
So I haven't touched the game since, but I figure I'm going to give it a more concentrated effort soon.
I got past the tutorial, then promptly got my arse handed to me by the first mission. It was 5am so I wasn't really concentrating, but I think I must have been doing something wrong because I don't think the very first level should be that difficult if I was playing the game right.

Licorice-flavoured booze?
I'm sure I remember a while back something about a larger 'TV friendly' version of the steam app, is there any news on this?

I got GRID. Couldn't pass up for that price.

None yet. I'm really looking forward to it though.
Has anyone played CreaVures?
It's certainly pleasing to the eye...but it's so....relaxing. It's certainly not hard, neither does it require any timing or skill on your part at all. I'll stick to it for now, but it's the kind of game that you can fall asleep to, can't say that's really a plus in my book.

The platforming felt really ghetto so I moved down my list.gdt5016 said:

I think I'll put Frozen Synapse on hold. It's hurting my brain. I played a little Bullet Candy, but I'm not really feeling it either. I need something I can chill out with. I think it's time to fire up some JOHN DEERE: DRIVE GREEN(E)!

No, the first mission is just ridiculous as an opener. I beat the 2nd mission on the first try. Almost beat the 3rd one but lost near the end and it takes a bit longer so I haven't given it another shot.PaulLFC said:
But I really feel your pain on that first mission.
Joe Molotov said:
Nice.
Looking up John Deere led me to Prison Tycoon 3, a game I've been eyeing for awhile. Supposedly it's terrible, but goddamn if that's not the best premise ever for a sim game. It's only $10 so I think I'm gonna buy it even though I have a ton of non-shitty games to play.

I have one slot open in a Dead Island 4-pack if anyone is interested. Just send me a PM.
I think I lost my account, have tried steam support twice now (once today once last Friday no responses so far).
Had this error https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=3093-MKUJ-5773
Fixed my issue (happened before).
When I rebooted steam it said I was on an unfamiliar cpu, but I've only used this pc for my steam games. So it asks me for email verification. Problem is during the psn fiasco I lost the old ass yahoo email account connected to this, and despite two different tickets to steam they wouldn't help me switch email accounts. Yahoo wouldn't let me get access to the account due to the fact the "security emergency email" was from my old college I only attended for 1 year, which had shut down my account.
Do I have any chance of getting my account back? I love steam but my experience with their customer service has always been silent responses back to my issues.

Suddenly got a message stating account was logged in. Tried to have me log in, couldn't get my password right....so I attempt to reset password and it emails me some code along with asking for a secret passphrase which I don't have anywhere on record.
F* me. Now I wait for steam support I guess.

This game is about three things: mom, apple pie, and freedom.
Well, I played John Deere: Drive Green for about an hour, which is more than one should. Not a good game. The game does support the X360 pad though, so that's a plus. I turned mine on, and we're off to the races. The first thing I noticed about it is that the walking animation is hilariously bad. Your little man just pumps his arm back and forth and slides his feet along the ground like he's walking on ice. The running animation is even better; it's the walking animation at about 1.5x speed. The game is all about the tractors, so clearly they weren't going to spend more than a buck-fifty on the walking animation.
You have your own farm, but you have no cash to buy implements and stuff at the beginning, so you have to get jobs from the sign board (that's conveniently posted 10 feet in front of your house) and do odd tractoring jobs around the neighborhood. I took the first one, and it was tilling up some dude's field. You drive up one row and then down the next until it's down. It was a small field, took about 5 minutes, no problem. Then I took the next job, it was planting corn for some guy. Well, it turns out planting corn is exactly the same as tilling, you drive up one row down the next etc. Except this guy's field was about 4x as big, so it took 4x as long, or about 20 minutes. My trigger finger was numb by the time I got done from holding down the gas.
Okay, that was last job was soul wrenching, but I decided to bend over for one more round of punishment before I sold this game back to Steam. The third job was to spray a field with fertilizer or something because the crops were all brown and wilty. Actually, I think you were just spraying green paint, because the crops magically turned green and vibrant as soon as your spraying passed over them. You're like the Jesus of radishes! This job only took about 3 minutes, so it wasn't that bad, but I was already past the point of no return. Before I quit though, I went to spend my money and purchase The Gator, aka the only vehicle in the game capable of going faster than 2mph.
I hoped on the ol' gator and started tear-assing around the farm. And well, you make your own fun because there's really nothing to do except look for buried fossils. Which as far as I can tell do nothing. The game claims to be putting them in storage for you, but I never found this "storage". With no people to run over, no cars to crash into, and only chickens to harrass, I decided to do a little amphibious driving.
Nothing runs like a deere, bitch! A JOHN MOTHERFUCKING DEERE! That's right, I'm driving on the water. Farm Jesus strikes again. And although it might seem like in this screenshot that the water's just really shallow, if you turn the camera angle just right, you can see that the ground is actually several feet below you.
Anyway, at that point, I think I'd rung pretty much any possible fun out of the game. Oh wait there was also this. Why? Why not, I say.
