How's Offspring Fling? Thinking of getting it.

I really like it. It's got a lot of charm in the graphics and the puzzle mechanic, while maybe not particularly new, works well. If feels like the kind of game you'd play on a handheld(like Popils, Pushmo, Carrier or those types of games) and it's nice to see that kind of game on Steam. If there's one thing that bothers me, it's the halfhearted joypad support, something that seems typical for PC games. Sure, you can control the game with the 360 controller, but it defaults to the analog stick and trying to navigate the menues, will have you reaching for the mouse.

That aside, it comes recommended.

I bought Portal 2 - The Final Hours the other day and I just realized the game says it's "Temporarily Offline" and I can't "play" it.

Did Valve sold me an app I can't use? WTF.

The entire store page is down, so no clue. I was just about to go and buy it.

The entire store page is down, I just realized it would be on sale and went to buy it. It likely has something to due with them updating it to have a new chapter.

Well, I found this on the Steam Forum. It's from today.

We've temporarily shut down access through Steam while we investigate. The site owner has been notified that there's a problem. Thanks for bringing this to our attention!

According to some people on the Steam Forums, the site has a malware.

So if I booted it up a couple days ago, but didn't get to the animate wheatley part, is it reasonable to assume I'm okay? I have Microsoft security essentials running and didn't get any alerts.

Stomp alot.

Play with a 5.1, if not that headphones.

I think there was some issue with the PC version unlocking suits too early.

Oh u :3

Besides, the RPG that truly satisfies me there is Wizardry 8... now if only it could run in Windows 7.

not really an option sadly

i mean i was thinking of playing it with a 360 pad from bed with the pc hooked up to the tv, but if i do that i'll be away from my good heapdhones

i have the pc hooked up to my pretty old stereo so i guess i'll use that, hopefully it'll get the job done.

I only have second hand experience, but it seemed to be pretty good. Very Nancy Drewish, but obviously a lot more mature.

If you're playing with a controller because of bad experience with mouse aim in DS1, give mouse aim a chance in DS2, it's much improved.

I'm not too fond of the game itself, though...

Yes, it's bad.

This is literally one of the worst games i have seen in my life. I can't belive this costs money. They should be paying people to play it instead of the other way around. I have seen Atari games that look better than this.

I love some of the Youtube comments.

TB does make a good point though, Valve should be cracking down on games like this and not give them a auto-approve just because they use the Source engine. Its sad when games like this get approved and so many other better games don't.

 

[MNC]

I guess I decided to bite on the Skyrim price. Downloading now. First Elder Scrolls game.

You're in for quite a treat. Don't judge the game from the starting town as (IMO) it has a bit of elder scrolls jank, but as soon as you get out of it and experience the open world, you can't let go for another 20 hours.

Holy crap that Revelations 2012 game has fanboys ragging on TotalBiscuit for that video on the Steam forums, I have now seen everything. I cant wait for the Damnation fanboys to come out of the woodworks.

chances are you have all the DLC because somehow the devs/publisher thought it was a good idea to give it all right from the start of the game with the base game, so all stores sell the superduper DLC suits/weapons. Just don't buy anything that's 0 credits from the store if you want a proper, non-overpowered playthrough.

Too bad I don't have the game, so that I cannot check what all the fuss is about.

He does seem to have set out to be very negative towards the game. He spends more time nitpicking about silly things than talking about the broken gameplay. He does elucidate a little why he thinks the gameplay is bad throughout the video but it would've been better had he not had such a harshly negative tone from the get-go.

Alright, I should do a gif or something of the Revelations 2012 main menu.

What the fuck.

I was looking at World of Battles: Morningstar, any good?

 

[Hanzou]

What is the one version to play online in the Company of Heroes series? I bought the original on disc when it came out and my freind bought the whole pack just now. Is the original non expansion version the best online? Is it better with opposing fronts or is the stand alone expansion Tales of Valor add a lot to the game?

Really mostly interested in playing online with my freind. How are the new MP modes in Tales of Valor?

Also Does the Steam version of Opposing Fronts work with the disc based vanilla CoH?

Just wanted to post this again. Any opinions?

 

[MNC]

Just wanted to post this again. Any opinions?

I think it merges them all in one. It mostly adds extra teams and units, and if you don't have the expansion, you simply can't use them. When I didn't have the expansions, I played with someone who did, and they could choose the extra factions.

I don't know if the retail + Steam are compatible.

 

[HoosTrax]

Just wanted to post this again. Any opinions?

All three CoH games are unified under one launcher and the Steam and retail versions are cross-compatible because they rely on internal Relic CD keys that you input to unlock campaigns/factions once you're in-game.

The only disadvantage to not buying the Steam versions is that the retail version CD keys do not work externally (i.e. they're not accepted by Steam, only by CoH itself), so they will not add them to your Steam library, only your Relic account.

So for example, I originally bought CoH: Gold retail and CoH:ToV on Steam. I was able to either pull the ToV CD key off Steam and input it into the retail version once I had launched the game, or do it the opposite way (launch ToV from Steam and input the CD keys for CoH and OF from the postcard from the retail game).
