I loved AC2 and Brotherhood, but after playing a bit of Revelations and how shit that was, and the fact that AC3 is set in fucking america I don't think I'm buying anymore
The entire premise upsets me.

Learn more about the time period and the situation and your mind mind be opened.
Desmond had to have gotten where he is at right now somehow right? I figured it'd be nice if they had a game set in that general location.

The american revolution? It's not bad... I guess... There sure were more interesting places to go with it in my opinion.
It's why I haven't bothered even when it was $5 elsewhere. Hoping it's a daily deal at 75% off, then I can get everything for $10.
There've been times when it was $10, but it's in dire need of a price drop. Crazy SE will do it for other games but not Last Remnant, likely their first Steam game and one of the only ones that's developed by them, not by Eidos. Maybe that's why really, the Eidos portions of the company recognize the value of price dropping in US/Europe and press for it, while no one's speaking up to lower Last Remnant's price and thus it stays.
I agree, I'm in the Victorian England camp, but it could still happen.
I'm just saying, people who go "America? Must be shit" are not really giving it a chance. Especially since we've seen fuck all of the actual game yet.

I had the feeling that they were going to go with the american revolution when they announced 3, but I was hoping to be pleasantly surprised. I don't mind it so much, but it sure bombed my interest (I was hoping for Victorian England too).

I am actually really excited for the setting of Assassin's Creed 3. I think hiding in the forests and the freerunning in the trees is a nice change of pace for the series.
Why isn't this free to play? The game's community will probably be dead after a month.
Hello GAF, can you guys recommends some point-and-click adventure games on Steam that are compatible with the Mac client?
The gf's bday is coming up and I'd like to get her a game/collection/whatevz.
She's enjoyed Machinarium, Puzzle Agent (kinda), and most recently Hector.
She REALLY REALLY enjoyed Machinarium, here favorite so far.
She's played Tiny Bang Story also.
Also, to give you an idea of what else she likes she cried after Professor Layton's Unbound Future (her favorite DS game)
So storyline is key.

People still upset Assassin's Creed 3 doesn't take place in one of those loser countries?
I'd say unless you're in dire need of an JRPG, no. Wait until it's $10.

I'll second Dog Days being worth 5$ and say that it's not a bad shooter, worth playing through to experience the presentation and you can beat the game in an afternoon.

TLR has an outrageously annoying protagonist and a sort of dopey story to go with him, but it is otherwise an excellent RPG (and one that was drastically improved in its PC release compared to the original 360 version.) It's only been on sale for cheaper a few times; I guess it's conceivable it'll be $10 again sometime in the future, but given that SE actually raised the price from $40 to $50 (lulz) I wouldn't bet my life on it.
Wha...they raised the price? I was wondering how it was priced at $25 and "on sale" at the same time. I bought it for $10 several months ago, still haven't played it of course .

Suddenly when I try to login to Steam I get this error message as it's logging in:
"Could not connect to Steam network.
This could be due to a problem with your Internet connection, or with the Steam network. Please visit www.steampowered.com for more info."
Does anyone have any idea what the deal is? My internet is working fine... I'll start troubleshooting, and already tried some things, but nothing has worked so far.
Edit: I removed my userdata folder and tried logging in and it worked... but now all my games are out of categories. Are all my saves compromised too (the ones that don't use Steamworks on the cloud)? Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

seriously... i got an assassins creed revelations 50% off coupon and Might and Magic Clash of Heroes 66% off out of nowhere... wtf.
... Wait, what? I seriously thought I had misremembered how much it cost, but I guess not. Is Square Enix retarded? I understand they don't want to go for bottom of the barrel pricing as the App Store has shown, but they could at least have made it $30 or something given its age and popularity, if it's something they thought they could charge $50 for then maybe they should've actually gotten a PS3 port put out.
Still, they may go around and put it on sale for $10, or at least $12.50 for Summer/Winter sales, and personally I'm hoping Trails in the Skies pops up given the two Ys games, and if that pops up that'll scratch a JRPG itch just fine too.
Save files are generally not left in the userdata folder so I'm sure you're fine.
The trouble you were having with Steam itself is on Valve's side, I think. That sort of thing happens when TF2+DOTA patches go out.

Any verdict on Alternativa?
I'd love to get it if you still have it
Sure, send a friend invite on steam, I'll trade it to you. You should find me under dockirby.

Mutant Storm Reloaded released today:
http://store.steampowered.com/app/110630/
It's a good twin stick shooter. Website said it has controller support but I haven't tested it yet.

I'd recommend all three seasons of Sam & Max, but the first season is Windows-only so she'd be missing a lot of the setup for the storyline.
I really like the Broken Sword games. The first two are the best of the series and available for Mac on Steam. They're heavy on story and considered classics for a reason.
The Lucas Arts Adventure Pack has four classic games that are Mac compatible. The Dig is probably a little hard to get into these days and the fact that it was ambitious doesn't carry it like it did in the 90s. Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis is solid but I'm not as big a fan of The Last Crusade. Loom is good and different, but very short.
I just checked and couldn't believe that the special editions of the Monkey Island games aren't Mac compatible. What a bummer.
Does it have to be point-and-click adventure games? Don't get me wrong, they're my bread and butter. I grew up playing them. I ask because my girlfriend isn't big into games and after having an NES as a kid I don't think she played any games until I introduced her to Psychonauts. She loved it and made it all the way to the Meat Circus without help despite not having used a controller with analog sticks and so many buttons before.

I second the first two Broken Sword games. I think they have better stories than any of the games in the LucasArts pack, personally.

Interesting Steam bug. It seems like SEGA/CA managed to patch Shogun 2 out from my profile page. I still have it in my library, can play it, earn achievements and it records gametime. But the game is not shown among recently played the games on my profile page, not shown in the complete games list on the profile page, and earned achievements doesn´t show on the blotter.

That's where I got them from but I had no idea the second game hasn't been updated. Odd.
The indie royale ninja pack is launching this week
They had some sort of glitch / prelaunch a day ago
where one of the games that came up was
10 minute space strategy (with Desura key)
But now it disappeared and changed to a preorder, ninja style.

The Desura rep there confirmed that 10-minute Space Strategy is not part of the Ninja Pack.

I thought this was going up today, but it seems Saturday is more likely then.
I believe possible games would be:
Plain Sight
Mini Ninjas
Ninja Reflex
DeathSpank ???
and other indie games.

Shank was in the Humble Bundle 4.
Edit: Also, isn't Greed Corp EA? That was in IndieGala.

The follow up, Gatling Gears, and Shank are EA Partners games.

Looks like Ubisoft is finally thinking straight.

It has controller support. It's the same awesome shooter that was released on the 360 years ago, around the time Geometry Wars was released. They're similar but liked this infinitely better due to the 2 modes and different difficulty levels (Tally mode). This release is waiting on a patch though which according to PomPom Steam already has. It has no in game AA / AF options but these can be forced and once forced this a really good looking shooter. IIRC the "Black Belt Grandmaster Achievement" on the 360 was one of the more rare achievements that was ever completed (less than 1%).

One of the games could possibly be Noitu Love 2. The developer was added to Steam a while ago and I think the main character could be classed as a ninja.
Another, not as likely candidate could be Samurai II. I know samurais != ninjas, but at least you probably get to slice some up during the game. It's on both Mac and Windows, which I think increases its chances slightly.
The Exceed Collection is available on Gamersgate. These bullet hell shooters were supposed to be available on Steam but I don't see them.
