Yeah, will do. Just wanted to save some time, and stick to the most preferred setup. I didn't like the demo controls either, the mouse had a horrible acceleration, which made it behave like an analog stick. With any luck they may have patched it already.
I asked because it's a shooter, something that's better played with a mouse, but it felt so bad in the demo I'm actually thinking of playing it with a controller. Oh well, gotta try it tomorrow, this was another night of browsing GAF and not playing anything at all.

Just bought the GTA4 games that were on sale. What's the best way to play them control wise? I loved using KB&M for the past ones, both on foot and in vehicle.
I say the 360 pad. This is one of the few cases I could not stand the m/kb controls in a game, even after messing with the settings.
You just answered your own question?
I played it and the episodes with kbm. As long as you're used to driving with wasd it works fine.
It was, actually. Still preferred the 360 pad though.
Use controller for vehicles (chopper controls with kb&m were unplayable for me, much better with controller)
For shooting, kb&m is obviously superior but theres cover system and lock on so its not too bad.
EDIT: I have played GTA4 and TLOD with vanilla car handling. Is there a mod out that makes handling like in GTA:SA (more arcady) for TBOGT?
I just finished playing through it with kb/m and didn't have too many issues, though a game pad would be better for sure.

This is how I look at it:
If
A) It's a third-person shooter
B) It's not online
Then I'll play with a controller.

what is the point of skins if they are all buggy?
PixelVision and Win 8 aren't buggy at all, and afaik neither is SteamCompact.

Pixelvision is awesome and not buggy.
Btw thanks to Crayons for Dota2, i was never interested in dota but i might as well try it
Valve needs to add an option to craft all these DOTA 2 invites into coal or something.
Fixed.
And then you can craft the coal into a useless coupon!Looks like I really got BL2 removed from my directory. The steam alert finally loaded and it was about the removal of BL2
Anyway, a support ticket i sent. Telling about the situation and that I want the games I traded with back.
How did this happen?

You're the second person I've read saying that BL2 was removed from their account.
I traded with a guy a while back. He probably did a chargeback or something. So I got BL2 removed from my account.
I am probably the first one too

No, but there's an Autumn sale that usually starts before Thanksgiving and runs through Black Friday.

I asked yesterday as well: Is he on GAF? Tell us so people can avoid trading with him and being ripped off.
It's a trade done outside GAF. It was somone from Steam forums

Yeah, that's straight-up fraud. I hope you get your games back.

Still have a copy of the Ship, Torchlight 1 and Dota 2 if anyone wants any of them. Just PM me.
Does it include the premier club content? The Swedish retail stores have it. I wonder if it's same in GB too

Fallout 3 GOTY and Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion GOTY are $9.99 each at Newegg.
Sleeping Dogs and some of its DLC (including Nightmare in North Point) is half off over at GamersGate.

How much is the DLC? It doesn't even show the prices for me in Germany.

Yeah, it's one of the better games in the genre that's on Steam.
Nightmare? $2.50.
But in some games you need precise aiming, such as Max Payne 3 or... Well, can't think of anything else right now, but I couldn't imagine playing it with a controller.

Step up your game, Valve. I've been wanting this feature for years.

I assumed you were kidding, but wow. That is actually forward-thinking and ahead of the times.
I have to give Origin credit there, it looks like a great feature. Since they also added the ability to have non-Origin games now, you can broadcast any game. Very nice.
I wish Origin didn't REMOVE features though. I want my list view back. Current view options tell me exactly one thing: they don't want us to use Origin with kb+mouse.
Also asking this again: anyone willing to smuggle me a $4.99 copy of Episodes from Liberty City? I can Paypal right away.

And this is exactly why I wanted the competition. Go Origin!
Go faster Steam, I'm still on your side with Linux Beta
If I'm reading it right, you don't need xsplit anymore and can just use Origin as the program too stream? That's pretty cool then. Xsplit is a horrible program.. but then again so is Origin..
Not gonna suddenly start using Origin now, but I hope Steam adds something like this too.

Even within Steam's prison I have to say that Origin is a decent effort and probably the only actual competition to Steam. Gifting and client customization can push that platform further and I hope they'll do those next.

Can I use that for my (RU) version? I bought Steam key without knowing it.

I have no idea. The other day I got gifted the russian version of Borderlands 2 season pass because the Gaffer who bought it couldn't use it with his european B2 so could very well not work with this too.

all my loli wolf companions are so moe
Honestly just make it so that you don't need to run Steam on non-online, non-Steamworks game and I'd be happy. Origin did it to lots of their games.
