Dare i ask if Psychonauts supports 1920x1080 with the latest Steam update?
Click to expand...

It supported it before I believe. I maybe misremembering but I recall playing the game a year or two ago on my native resolution of 1920x1200. I don't recall having to edit or alter anything.

Graphically, there is nothing really special about the Psychonauts update. All it added was an anti-aliasing option and you could force AA prior to the patch (higher quality AA at that) very easily.

Psychonauts looks great in-game thanks in no small part of its brilliant design, those cutscenes though...

I'm terrrrrrrrrible at multi-player strategy games if Starcraft 2 was any indication, that's why I've played Civ V for nearly 200 hours purely in the single player. We can give it a shot but I expect it to be tears for all parties involved.

Your shots are 480p? Did the Steam update allow for Wii hardware support?

HDTVs are cheap in Uruguay? Lucky you. They're freaking expensive down here in Argieland...

Deity, one city, science victory. I only had a chance to win because of several deadlocked votes in the United Nations. I didn't even have enough money to pull one city state away from the leading contender to try and stall the game.

I don't know what I'm going to play now. Maybe Shogun 2.

Wow, you have won the game. I feel sad that now you don't have anything to play. :p Do you not have a huge Steam backlog like the rest of us?

Silly question, of course I own a ridiculous number of games, it's just that nothing tickles my fancy quite like Civ 5 did (still does, I don't know) or Team Fortress 2 before it. I've got a buddy who has been pushing Shogun 2 on me for a bit, but I've had trouble getting into the game, don't like the combat.

Beating a game on Steam is a lot like finishing a TV series on Netflix, you want to keep up the awesome but despite the amount of stuff to watch nothing seems as interesting as what you were just watching.

The reason I probably own as many games as I do is because I'm looking for that next experience. It's elusive and you never know what that next game could be. And honestly it's hard to feel much guilt if you buy some game for 5-10$ and barely play it. Also don't like to use the word backlog, it has such a negative connotation. Like you're digging yourself out of some hole rather than enjoying whatever game you want to play.

I dont know if Stallion hates me or experiences weird and new sexual feelings towards me. He's very cynical but jokingly so, except for that one comment about me being a dirty salesman wich he hasnt apologized for yet..

Love and hate are merely the two faces of passion, Salsa. Someday you'll understand that.

Dirty salesman? That's a new slur I'll use from now on.

'fuckun team! You're all a bunch of dirty salesmen'

Well, Iron Grip: Marauders is certainly a game that's free to play. Also, it's browser based using Unity if anyone was wondering.

Last mission of the tutorial quests takes six hours in real time to complete. And you don't actually do anything.

Was hoping for something bit more from the heroes that produced Warlord.

Anyone has Off-Road Drive? I can't start it... it shows me the lengthy unskippable video, but then it's a black screen. Even the Steam overlay freezes.

Anyone else having trouble preloading Rage? The download just won't start for me... keeps telling me that the Steam servers are overloaded and that I should try after a few hours. Changed servers a few times as well, but it didn't help. I have a slow connection so I need as much time as possible to preload it.

Does the psychonauts update improve gamepad support? last I checked, it still didn't support a 360 pad properly.
Click to expand...
Yes. It still doesn't display controller button prompts, but it now recognises all the inputs on a 360 controller properly. Before the update it wouldn't recognise the D-Pad or the LT/RT triggers at all, now it works perfectly.

Hmm...I 'might' give this game another try. I heard some horror stories about the control and I had installed it before, but couldn't get past the first few minutes.

Don't disappoint me GAF!

I played through most of Psychonauts last year. Stopped at the godforsaken Meat Circus. It was one of those games where you forget your powers because you rarely use some of them. Contemplating throwing it into my "will play" pile that currently consists of 52 games on Steam.

May the backlogs never die.

So I caved and got the three Dungeon Siege games.

And holy crap, the first Dungeon Siege is fantastic (even though I'm still not 100% sure on how the leveling system works). This is some of the best music I've heard in years. <3
