Saved me about 6+ gigs, nice

 

[PixyJunket]

2.2 GBs cleaned up, which would have been awesome a few weeks ago before I got my 2TB.

Oh, it's still awesome.

 

[Madrugador]

Heads up, one of the guys of Wadjet Eye was working on the achievement system of Gemini Rue today and apparently it's working now.

I won't be able to play it until tomorrow so i can't confirm it.

 

[Jomjom]

It deletes some things necessary for first time boot, afterwards which just sit around.

So if you just select all, make sure you have launched said games at least once, otherwise you won't be able to play said game until after another validation (which itself creates these files).

The files themselves are in that posted config above a couple of posts.

Awesome, thanks for the info.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

3GB saved!

 

[Stop It]

I found a program the other night that cleans the crap from your steam game installtions (redist, temp files, etc.). I'm pretty sure I got the link from GAF, it was hosted on google code, but I can't find it anywhere on the internet!

I think it was something like, SteamCleaner, or SteamCondenser (or SteamKondensor).

Edit: Found it! TikiOne-Steam-Cleaner http://steamcleaner.tikione.fr/en/

Holy crap, I just deleted 10GB thanks to this app. Thanks for that.

There is a survey about the HIB bundles and store by Frozenbyte, with a lottery for Trine 2. It is really easy and fast to fill out.

Cheers filled it out.

Also just saved myself 6GB with that cleaner program, thanks!

Ended up watching the WTF is Warp video last night on youtube and convinced myself that the EA indie bundle was worth the $20, who knows when I'll actually play the games...

 

[DownWithTheShip]

Does anyone have opinions about Port Royale 3? It looks pretty cool and I don't see any third-party DRM mentioned.

Also wondering about Port Royale 3

 

[crimsonheadGCN]

The registry for Ms. Splosion Man was updated today, so it looks like it is still coming to PC.

It's out in Germany now I think... There must be a couple reviews you could Google Translate.

Good idea.

Found a few german reviews. The translation is always so wonky from german.

It seems to be reviewing in the low to mid 80's, so pretty average I guess. Probably wait for some english critic reviews, and user reviews before taking the plunge.

Metascore question is a bit rubbish.

8. Do you check Metascores before you purchase video games?
yes
no

9. Do Metascores affect whether or not you buy a game?
yes
no

I cannot give a correct answer.
I rarely check metascore but it happens.


also this is sloppy and will make the data for question 10 useless

6. Answer these questions about your willingness to buy the example bundle of games: 1 = Strongly disagree, 7 = Strongly agree

10. Answer these questions about this Humble storefront: 1 = Totally agree, 7 = Totally Disagree

I'm one of those rebels who keeps all their redist files since they have a 2tb drive for Steam and on top of that I let Steam download every Dungeon Defenders patch- no bitching.

 

[Sinatar]

A little over 11 GB freed up for me, good stuff.

YO why is Witcher 1 downloading a 15GB update?

It's becoming self aware. It needs that 15GB data to achieve its destruction of mankind.

 

[Dice]

Wait, after downloading a little bit it froze, so I paused it and resumed and it said it was done. WTF Steam.

Anyway, Halo: Monster Hunter Edition is out and 4 pack makes it $6.75. I wouldn't be able to host till monday but I could join if someone else will host.

I bought and played through the first three chapters of The Dream Machine just the other day.
The game is magical.
Amazing art, fantastic writing, smart & fun puzzles that are story driven.
Hoping the Steam release might mean the release of the next chapter(s)....

 

[DrPirate]

This.

What the fuck Valve? Some of us have bandwidth caps.

They should let us cap what gets automatically downloaded. Over 5 gigs for an update, and we should have the option to not have it be automatic.

 

[Adnor]

Ugh, I think I did something stupid, I bought Batman Arkham City and decided to connect my GFWL account (I always used it offline), now I can't use my saved game, because it created a new profile, and my old profile disapeared. :/
And for some reason, now it doesn't load beyond the first logo, so I'm validating the game's cache.
Well, at least it was just 4 hours...

 

[Narag]

YO why is Witcher 1 downloading a 15GB update?

Restart Steam and it should stop it.

I remember reading about this on RPS. I'm glad it's coming to Steam, it should get a lot more visibility that way. The art style is amazing.

I bought it last year...I don't know why it was fun. I think I got up to the 3rd level maybe. I'm thinking if it goes on Steam ill double dip.

$60

Available: 13 November 2012
This game will unlock in approximately 6 months, 3 weeks, 3 days and 17 hours (as of posting this)

Why doesn't it say Steamworks on that page. It best be Steamworks.

 

[DTKT]

We'll never know till they announce something but I can't see a good reason for them to ditch Steamworks. Of course, they might announce that COD is now integrated into Battle.net.

But they can: $$

 

[MRORANGE]

It depends on the "DOTA" court case; if valve win's it might sour the relationship between Valve and Acti-Blizz.

Although Steam did the same for MW3 and put steamwork features when the game was nearing launch.

Nobody wants Orion? Okay, I guess I'll pick it up by myself later. Casual mode just unlocked in CS:GO so I guess I'll be playing that more anyway.

Highly tempted with the co op there. It looks awesome and has co op.

 

[Dice]

I just realized that since you can use paypal to pay for Steam games, anyone can host so long as others paypal them first.

Overall the game has Halo vibe in style but with a touch of Tribes due to the jetpacks and classes. And while the dinosaurs make you think Monster Hunter, the way you fight seems more like Killing Floor.

 

[Card Boy]

I need a TotalBiscuit video if i am going to blindly buy a game i've never heard of.

No surprises, considering what we have seen from the likes of Nicalis, Rovio and Fortresscraft people, indie folk can be as dickish as big publishers.

It appears David says its all a smear campaign. It's a he said she said thing now.
