Don't forget the guide!
I hope the guide has DLC too. "Buy the Act 2 Walkthrough DLC to finish the fight! Buy the Boss Strategy DLC to find out how to take down those mega-baddies!"

They're given to you regardless of where you've purchased as long as you register your Steam code. Think I got a press code or something.

The December Pid patch must have done a lot to balance it. There were tough parts, but nothing as bad as reviewers made it seem. I was expecting some "They Bleed Pixels" saw blade bullshit, but it never happened. It took me around 7.5 hrs to complete (in game counter) on normal, and other than some stuff at the end, I enjoyed myself.

Is there a guide for deleting unnecessary Steam files that eat up HDD space?
Like the bazillion C++ runtime files that come with every installation.

Am I alone in not being able to justify buying a 6-12 month old game unless it's like $7.50 or less now?
Many of those racing games I'd like but I no longer will spend the $10+ I use to on games being on sale. It has to hit that > $7.50 for me.

Not sure this is the right place to ask but since it's the most active on pc gaming I might as well.
I just read some stuff about HDMI-CEC and its ability to turn on or control devices connected to others with hdmi cables. My Panasonic plasma TV (ST30) is connected to my PC (vga: 560 Ti) via HDMI. All I'm interested in is turning my tv on automagically when I switch from my monitor to tv video output on my pc. Is this possible or am I dreaming?
That would make Big Picture Mode so much better, among other things :/
I don't know what's possible, but HDMI-CEC on Panasonic is called Vierra link. So if it's possible, that's how it'd be done.

Holy crap, I just bought a 47" Smart TV. Now I just need a long HDMI cable (like 10 meters) and I'm ready to try Steam in my living room.
Edit: I just realized I'm going to need a wireless controller :/

Amazing game! It's super addictive.
It's one of those games where it's easy to lose track of time and end up playing it for hours. Obviously, it's still in beta, but there's a ton of content already and it's a very polished beta (no technical issues).
I bought it a while back, decided to finally try it to see how progress on the game was going, and ended up putting 40 hours into it in short order.
Complete 360 controller support. You'll need to patch in the correct prompts, though, iirc.
Yes, it supports the 360 right out of the box.
None that I can think of. It runs at 1080p 60fps.

I wish Schafer would've updated Psychonauts with 360 support.
Congrats on the acquisition. Same size of the one I got some time ago. I have my desktop close to it, but it's totally worth the effort. Good luck with the setup!
Going from a Reddit comment, I think it's not.

It was, if you played it before the 2 latest big patches it was far more fun. I had 235 hours or so and then found the patch made it unplayable. They slowed horizontal movement after swinging among other things. Some may like slower more deliberate gameplay now but personally it just feels laggy to me. Only saying this because it really let me down, I lovvvvvveedd the game

I think most people just play Chivalry to goof around. It probably starts to fall apart at really high level play. Especially dueling.It was, if you played it before the 2 latest big patches it was far more fun. I had 235 hours or so and then found the patch made it unplayable.

Survivability took a huge dive from where it was, which was pretty low already. I used to be able to survive fights with 4-5 people against me at once kiting around the battlefield through skill. Dueling is still pretty fair, although horizontal swinging is even more effective due to people not being able to swing around their backs to block as fast.
Anyways yes, it just felt like they added a fresh layer of molasses to the combat and I'm not a fan.
Still a good game though...
For the emotes.

I liked Chivalry until they added the alternate swing binds in the January patch. Now I can't map them comfortably in my setup so ¯\_(ツ_/¯
_/¯Mmm... I tried the game on a free weekend promo, and didn't like what little I played.
Doesn't hold a candle to Jedi Outcast. Now that's a game that made sword fighting fun.

Anyone doing a 4-pack on Torchlight II missing one person, per chance?
Odd I could have sworn it worked.

Grrrr... I hate having to link accounts with one service to another.
I'm having trouble with my Rockstar Social Club linking to my Steam account to play Max Payne 3.
I sign into Social Club within MP3, then it states that I must link accounts, so I click OK but am just given an error. "There was an error linking your social club account to Steam."
I can't seem to get past this.
HELP!
EDIT: Quit the game, restarted, now no issues with them syncing.

The game has controller support, but no 360 button prompts. Those are modded in though.

If you install Jedi outcast you will still find a pretty decent amount of players, I still play it and have no issues finding some people to fight.
The entire point of Chivalry is first person medieval combat, for me at least, so I wouldn't compare them.
Jedi outcast still has the crown for my favorite mp ever though.

There is a button you can hold as a modifier when you use a swing/overhead to use the alt version, so you can free up some keybinds that way by only needing one key and the ones you use already.I liked Chivalry until they added the alternate swing binds in the January patch.

I hope I remember to get them next time they go on sale. Is Republic Commando on Steam? A friend told me that one' good too, I never played it.
I miss the Jedi Knight games so much.......
JK2's multiplayer is still alive? Now I have no excuses not to get the Steam version.
Yep, Republic Commando is on Steam. I enjoyed it a lot back in the day, and it's still one of the more memorable FPSs for me, if only because squad FPSs are a bit rare (can only think of GRAW and Binary Domain right now), and the soundtrack is really excellent. You have your standard Star Wars remixes, but also some originals like the Mandalorian chant, and it's all used well and in appropriately fitting situations.
"Squad FPS" sounds like Swat 3 or Rainbow Six. If so, that's awesome. I may pick it up along with the Dark Forces saga then.
Just an fyi, the orders aren't very complex, so it's more like Binary Domain than a Tom Clancy FPS.
Tell me it doesn't have the same awful cheesy dialogue, please. And stupid, pointless walking scenes that totally kill the pace and defecate over its body.

I'm with you. I bought it for $12.50 during the Winter Sale and have spent about 30 minutes getting my ass kicked before setting it aside.
Haha, no, it has neither of those thankfully. Yeah, those were a couple of my main complaints about Binary Domain as well. I also found some of the voice acting of inconsistent quality. Faye didn't sound even remotely Chinese, and Shindo (who curiously had brown hair that didn't appear to be dyed, despite supposedly being Japanese) was just plain awful. And the repetitive "you're amazing, you impressed me" voice clips.
