So... Cities XL 2012.
After hearing of all the problems of the previous two iterations, I guess it's pretty safe to say this one will probably suck too?
Says you can upgrade from 2011 and 2011 keys are now registerable in steam. Anyone have any info how much the upgrade costs?

Heh, Dead Rising 2 still won't start for me because of a GFWL problem. And yes I know it's fixable but I have other things to play so fuck 'em, I got it on sale anyway.

its not great but using the gentlemen of the row mod and tweaks its not that bad compared to console. Only thing I recommend is turning off HDR lighting so it gets rid of the ugly glowMRORANGE said:

Steam Android storefront....../shrug I got nothing...I just want to see more publishers adopt steamworks with full integration or not even bother with DRM at all..
Gameplay video streaming. I want to have my own Twitch.tv in the comfort of my Steam client.
Edit: Valve already has a system of sorts like that in HLTV, but you have to be in a specific game to watch footage. I want to watch a Dota 2 or CS:GO tournament by clicking something in the Steam client and having it take me to a stream page.

I'd like it if they could somehow detect that I have Chrome as my main browser and use the Chrome renderer for my Steam views. It's annoying that I have to install the standalone Flash application just to watch videos on Steam within the client when my primary web-browser has Flash built-in.

CUSTOM ICONS IN GRID MODE.
Also: I'd like to see them improve organization of games. It's kind of a pain to create and organize folders as of now, and when I log into Steam with my laptop, it gets reset on my PC. I want to see an easier and faster method of organizing and sorting games.
Video recording would be great as well. It would be more efficient than using fraps and uploading to youtube, and it would be cool to have the videos listed in my Steam profile.

Actually integrated video streaming would be awesome, sign me up for that too. Also, give us the option to set an uncompressed file-format for our screenshots and convert them to lossy formats when uploading to the community CDN.
How this is actually done remains a mystery to me.

My usual pet peeves:MNC said:
In the library:
- let me use/define custom artwork for non-Steam games, for the grid and list views. Not just old Sucky McSuck windows icons
- let me add more info about non-Steam games, such as publishers, etc
- in the list view, let me have more display options (i.e. new columns): SP/MP/achievements, etc. Considering these are infos Steam tracks, they're already available, just not displayed.
- let me define a sorting order (through custom sorting names a la itunes for example). If only to have quake 4 after the other 3.
In the overlay:
- let me define for each game new shortcuts to sites pertaining to the game I'm playing. Typically, I'd like to be able to open a wiki for the game I'm playing in just one click from the overlay.
- in the same fashion, let me define a link to a PDF file, directly from the main overlay view. Typically, if a game comes with a digital guide or art book, it would be nice to open it in the overlay with only one click
- mostly covered by the first point but let me handle bookmarks in the browser. No opinion whether these should be shared across all games or managed on a per-game basis. Probably both, let me handle bookmark categories
These are absolutely superfluous, first world problems but that's mostly what I feel I'm missing in my Steam experience right now.
edit: Thanks Snuggler!
Someday, I'll have a nice KOTOR 2 grid icon.
(added the sorting option)

This 100 times over. There are people who do not have Credit Cards/Debit Cards still in this world. If Sony and Microsoft can do it so can you Valve!Derrick01 said:

- Implement back-button/bookmark friendly anchored links for the next/previous buttons on the chart lists. It's annoying to click through to the third page of the top-sellers, click a game then hit back and get taken to the first page of results.
- Create a popup version of the game-details view so that it doesn't turn off grid mode when you look at a game.
- Add arrow-key navigation to grid-view (this would be a temporary solution to make using Steam with a controller work better via JoyToKey/XPadder)
- Offline private-messaging, speaks for itself really.
- Video recording with direct publishing to YouTube. It's nice that we can link our accounts, now let's see them do something useful with it.

I'll tell you what I'd really like to see: The ability to enter my age into my Steam profile one time and never have to see a fucking "enter your birthday" age gate again. I get so tired of that shit.

Snuggles, before I forget; you said earlier you wanted your vids on your profile, you know you can link your YouTube account and they show up in Steam?

Also, this might not be to everyone's tastes but some form of tabs in the Store view.
I tend to browser by opening tabs when stuff interests me and if I see several games I'm interested in (during a sale for example), I'd like to open the store page for each game without having to navigate back to the front page between games.
I had this happen to me while browsing to DLC for a game I already owned. The age gate annoyed me, I clicked too quickly and ended up locked out of the page for the game (I think I wanted to buy FO:NV DLC).

This. The worst part is you somehow fuck up and select 2000 or something.Dr. Zoidberg said:

Almost all of my uploaded videos are from PS3 games, so I only have a cool Witcher video on my page for now.

Steam in general could almost fully support tabbed browsing considering it's mostly just loading web pages. I always get annoyed when I middle-click and it does nothing, which is why I generally use Steam in a web-browser when I'm digital window-shopping.
Snuggler said:
I had no idea either, I was just flipping through Steam looking for inspiration for suggestions and I clicked the "video" link on my profile. My mind got blown.

It's 66% off ($13.49) if you own Cities XL 2011.
The shitty part isn't that it's an upgrade, it's that it isn't an engine upgrade. Unfortunately it uses the same engine so it's torturous as hell to play this game with a single core. I don't mind if SimCity 4 has to do it since it released before multicore processors were the norm or that it's mostly sprites.plc268 said:
This however, I would really only care if they could get the time to write a new engine so it can use current hardware better than it does now.
That being said, the upgrade model is something I like for yearly iterations; it's just not worth it for this game IMO.
I think the UI in general could use an update (from a visual standpoint), though I am not really sure how.
Maybe also the client could be a little more stable, sometimes it randomly crashes, but freezing while installing a game, starting a game and purchasing a game seems to happen almost every time.
It pains me to have deus ex human revolution in the middle.

Yeah but some of us have family members that want to give us something more than money, and would never ever put any of their personal information near a computer. They buy us Best buy and gamestop gift cards. The physical cards. I need steam cards for them to buy me for chirstmas. Wallet to wallet stuff just doesn't cut it for me.SalsaShark said:

I thought RFA was fantastic. It was easily the best singleplayer in all of the series.nexen said:
Homefront was solid, but it ended way to quickly. I dug the cheesiness of it.
Looks like DR2 OTR is coming to steam after all.

Guys I can say with confidence no part of the silence has anything to do with Microsoft or GFWL or any sort of conspiracy. We'll share more details soon. Please be patient.
Update: and it looks like we've got everything on track. You'll see.
And right after I just bought a copy on D2D... *sigh*

Sandman, i think his card only supports dx10.1. My advice play on dx9, still pretty enough.Mr Sandman said:
If you had a dx11 card but a crappy one, the effects on the dx11 path are faster than dx10 but you'll need to turn of advance dof specially, tesselation hits but not that hard.
The first thing Steam needs is to have reliable offline mode, not the fucking BS we have now. The other suggestions are trivial in comparison.
I liked RFG much better but thought RFA was a decent game.Stallion Free said:
Homefront though... certain moments in that game were so damn gut wrenching if you were bought into the setting and plot.
Was too short though, yeah. I was really hoping for Homefront 2 but Kaos is gone now :\
