This is the fate of almost every indie multiplayer release. I think that Chivalry and Natural Selection II are some of the only successes in recent memory.
Are you running the beta?
I am so hopelessly addicted to chivalry.
That's a good question. I opted out once BPM was released and my constant updates ended. But I sometimes wonder if there are just glitches that cause this. So I'm curious to see whether he's in or not.

In my experience it's the beta that does it. Never had problems with the regular client.
Going further back, Mount and Blade (Is that considered indie? It won an indie game award) Warband has also kept a pretty decent crowd playing.
I agree in general though. Releasing an indie multiplayer game is a scary thing to contemplate. I'm trying to make one myself, but I want to make sure it can at least also be played against AI and whatnot, or co-op against AI.

Ah, yes I am. But assumed it was over, as Big Picture Mode is now all over the front page?

the beta programme is always going, it's just that bpm was the main part of the beta client until recently. you still have to opt out to stop getting the frequent beta updates.
I see no reason why they couldnt port the HD one they released on Xbox and psn..

re4 pc is fucking terrible, that may have something to do with it.
I would buy RE1, 2, 3, 4 on Steam. Do it Capcpom.

I heard some mods improve it quite a bit. Maybe he could play it on Dolphin, asuming he has a Wii.

that's the best option imo. there is an enb mod for re4, as well as a high-res texture pack, but it can't salvage the port. if you have no other choice, sure, but with re4 there are so many better ports you could be playing so there's no reason to suffer through it.

It would have been fine if it was vehicle only, like Interstate 76.
Replaying it in stereo 3D is why I'd want the PC version. Seems like mods have settled most of the major issues with it.

fair enough, though if you have an nvidia card I'm pretty sure you can play the wii version in dolphin with 3d vision. incidentally I dusted off my copy and played it about a year ago by the way, that's where these grumbles are coming from. aside from anything else, the utterly abysmal controller support which ultimately meant that I turned it off and mapped my controller to the m/kb controls using xpadder instead left a seriously bad taste in my mouth.

To be fair, the US release was a perfect port... of the PS2 version. AKA the worst version of the game.

Figure this is as good a place as any to ask:
When i tried to install a new game from my Library to my C: drive, it was full but a bit further down it says "Do you want to create a new Steam library on drive D:"
Now what exactly happens here if i do that? Why new library? Can't i just install MORE games of the same "library" on D:? Meaning i would split my games by having some on my main partition and some on the other or what does this mean exactly?

It just installs games on the other drive. Your Steam game library won't change.
Been discussed a couple times. A number of people really love it, a number really hate it.
Apologies for the late reply, I'm in Canada.

The last 2 levels or so of Tomb Raider Anniversary were so infuriating, I had to stay up until now (3.30AM) to beat them because I knew I wouldn't have returned to the game ever. Way to pull down an otherwise fantastic game down a few notches.
Let me guess: you got stuck ascending the shaft. Near the top where it that suggests you go one way, but the timing is so extremely narrow that it makes you want to break things? Then you go to Youtube for help and find out there's a much, much easier path?

I think it's pretty fun, and am about 2/3 done. The humor is pretty hit and miss and there are some elements that I don't think work that well but the game so far has been pretty good at staying varied and on-point.

I loved all the levels, but the T-Rex and Centaurs can go burn. Thank you Youtube.

Anyone try the closed beta for Don't Starve yet? How raw is it?
It's kind of strange seeing it ahead of BLOPS2...preordering something four months ahead of release is a little much for me, but I guess being able to offer input on the development of the game sounds kind of neat.

I think you're better off trying it on dolphin (it has stereoscopic support).

Having a little giveaway/contest for The Witcher 1 (Steam gift), if anybody is interested. (Amazing game, by the way, better then the sequel in my humble opinion.)
I'm pretty interested in finding out what it's like too, if anybody is up for splitting the double pack let me know :s

I've been playing it a bit. Its a lot of fun. Your goal is basically to survive so far the longest I've lasted is six days, but almost every time I've died its more been because I over extended myself and tried to fight wildlife I wasn't ready for and less because I ran out of resources.

So who wants Titan Quest?
That is pretty cool. They need to make it so it moves in front of other windows. Was able to start it up, but my browser is taking up half of the screen.

The PS3 controller does it as well. Just hit the PS button and up pops Big picture mode.
