I am sure this was covered in the official thread somewhere but can anyone tell me how to take screenshots with a 360 controller in the BPM?

Thanks

If you buy Critter Crunch you will get a copy of Critter Crunch. Beyond that I cannot promise anything. I appreciate the effort though :)

Also: Hi Steam thread! If you have any questions about Critter Crunch on Steam let me know.

Do you guys get paid for it or does it go into some licensing blackhole?

Hold down RT and hit the guide button, I think.

How is this going to work in games where RT is an action (meaning most games..)? Meaning in a fps you want a shot of a nice vista, but nope, RT shoots off a rocket and ruins your nice screenshot.

edit: unless holding down the guide button voids all buttons and therefore makes RT just take screens.

I have no clue - I just saw that screen in the settings and haven't actually tried it out myself. You do bring up a point, though - has anybody else tried taking screenshots in BPM?

Already asked this on the other thread, but this one's much more active and I guess someone else might answer: local multiplayer (1 PC, 2 controllers), is it in?

I saw the settings as well, but it just seemed a little odd. Never tried it out either myself, so yes, any feedback would be nice!

Intrusion 2 sounds amazing. 16 bit 2D side scrolling shooter ala Metal slug or Contra? Yes, please. Lots of good reviews, too.

Why in blazes does Gray Matter have to go through Greenlight. Steam lets other lesser known adventure games on their service. It's Jane Jensen for Christ's sake.

I remember reading something about Valve not thinking the game would have sold enough copies. It's weird actually since any kind of lesser known games get released on Steam.

Your hypothesis is correct. You have to hold HOME and then RT to take the screenshot, the game will not "shoot" (or whatever RT does in that game). The best part of it is that you get a new pop-up for screenshots, one that won't be included in close shots like before.
Or at least, that's what happened for me in Max Payne 3, but it's safe to assume that it will work in the same way for other games.

Downloading the first one right now. Still got a considerable amount of games on my backlog, so I won't get to them any time soon. And to be honest, I had my eye on the franchise for a long time.

Look up Pure Faction, you'll need it to be even able to run Red Faction on a modern machine.

Mainly interested in what you think of Armageddon in relation to FEAR. Though I guess it may be very far off, haha.

And prepare for enemies with hitscan weapons in the final moments of the first game. Maybe knowing what's to come will piss you off less than it did me...

OK, so it seems I'll struggle to get the old games running on my machine. Should have read about it before buying. I'm gonna try that Pure Faction mod, and check whether RF2 runs at all. As for the similarities between Armageddon and F.E.A.R., It'll take a long time for me to complete the previous games, and I want to play them in order. If the world hasn't ended yet, I'll post my impressions then :p

I remember my mom loved Critter Crunch and then got mad because she couldn't beat some of the later levels.
Click to expand...

I thought they introduced too many new critter types towards the later levels, it got a bit hectic and I missed the simplicity of the earlier puzzles, but overall it's a pretty fuckin' awesome and charming puzzle game. I have it on PS3 so I'll wait for a sale but it's worth double dipping.

I wish that were the case for the mobile version. :(

Revelations 2012 is kind of the "if it doesn't fit you must acquit" for all of the speculation about the reasoning behind game rejection on Steam. If total bullshit nonsense like that can get a store page on Steam while anything else at all is turned away based on quality or sales potental, the whole process was never reasonable to begin with. I'm glad they're finally doing something about making things more transparent.

Not too sure where the best place to post this in is but anyone looking to do a 4-pack of Borderlands 2 and Torchlight 2?

I'm curious about trying that game, since I got it from an indie bundle that a fellow GAFfer gifted me. But I don't feel like downloading 6 GB of a game I already know will be horrible :/

Does anyone still play the first Borderlands?

Been sitting in my backlog like forever.
Click to expand...
Yes, when the mood strikes. I'd like to play it more, but I have like 15 games started on Steam, and I keep adding more to that, so I can never give the proper attention to each one. Just add me to Steam (ID's the same as my GAF username) if you wanna play sometime.

I'd love to play the first Borderlands if anyone wants to. Been really meaning to dive into it. Steam ID is Geflat0 (that's a zero).

Has anybody else bought Intrusion 2 yet? I'm only two bosses in and they're some of the best bosses I've fought in years.
