Guys I have a problem, I have a wired Xbox controller, and when I plug it, steam freezes, I can't browse on my games library after a few seconds. It happens every time I plug in the controller, has anyone run into the same problem?

Thx

The Resident Evil Revelations demo is supposed to hit Steam later today. I am looking forward to trying it out.

Hopefully sooner rather than later. I'm quite excited to try it.

 

[baconcow]

Happy birthday, JaseC. You're a quarter of 16 years younger than me.

It will presumably hit Steam around 19 CEST which when the Store Front is usually "refreshed".

 

[cicero]

Happy Birthday, JaseC. May all your Steam collecting dreams come true, and then when you are finally finished, excepting new releases, may you move swiftly into GOG collecting as well.

 

[IblisGinjo]

Happy Birthday JaseC, as a fellow May 14th baby also and if there's any validity to the Zodiac keep you temper in check and go easy on the ladies.

 

[Nillansan]

WayForward is doing a new Adventure Time game, which will be released on PC as well.

Hope it is better than the 3DS game they did.

 

[dave is ok]

I'd buy Jasec a game on Steam for his birthday, but he already has it.

 

[FloatOn]

So I have hitman absolution and dishonored installed now. What to play first?

I guess I could do both at once.

Thanks, gents!

I can't help but to read this in the voice of a Skyrim NPC.

Get Absolution out of the way first. It's much more rigid in it's design.

Any chance you were previously using MotionInJoy?

 

[Leon Belmont]

Nope, I don't use it, I uninstalled steam, xbox controller drivers, reinstalled and I still have the problem!

Have you played every other game in your Steam backlog? Have you played every other game in your GOG/indie bundles backlog? Have you played every other game in your retail backlog? Have you played every other game in your console backlog? Have you travelled to other countries, visited the Moon, won a war? Have you become president? Have you discovered the cure for cancer?

If the answer to any of those questions is no, then you should do that first. If you have already done all of that, then I suggest you skip Absolution.

 

[MagicWithEarvin]

Absolution is a bad game.

 

[Stallion Free]

Absolution is broken if you play on anything over normal difficulty. On normal the disguise system is significantly more functional and the level design can be appreciated a bit better.

 

[Rufus]

I wish I had know before I played it. I wouldn't have resorted to clearing rooms out of frustration.

 

[kurahador]

Has this been posted? BF3 vanilla & Premium $9.90 each.

Well dang. I uninstalled BF3 not long ago because I never played it much, partly because I never had all the map packs.... getting Premium for 10 bucks would certainly solve that issue. Tempting.

that's the price I've been holding out for on premium. will buy later. Thanks for the heads up.

I'm playing it on Expert right now and I definitely agree with this.

haha, that bad eh? I got it for 5 bucks and I've never played a hitman game before. I have blood money but I kind of want to go backwards in the hitman game chronology to appreciate with fresh eyes how stupid the series has become (apparently).

wait....you aren't supposed to play like this?

edit : for $5 you could do a lot worse...

 

[Chronoja]

Incoming sale on the "X Superbox" and related games by the looks of it. Don't know what else yet.

edit: off by miles lol

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Terraria is the midweek madness deal and should be bought by anyone who hasn't done so yet.

66% off

Odd that the price isn't showing 66% yet.

Seems to be updated now.

Edit 3 - Not yet actually ><

 

[DagsJT]

Magicka on sale one day, Terraria on sale the next. Of all the games on Steam, they love to rehash the same old "deals" over and over.

 

[JaseC]

Midweek Madness #1 is 66% off Terraria ($3.39 or $10.20 for a four-pack [$2.55 per head])
Midweek Madness #2 is 50% off Ace Combat Assault Horizon ($14.99)

Edit: Daily is 50% off Proteus ($4.99).

 

[FloatOn]

How's Ace Combat? Anyone play it?

 

[Baha]

Proteus is the daily deal @ 50% off/ $4.99

 

[Salsa]

Proteus is the daily deal @ 50% off/ $4.99

this is tempting

One of these days, it'll be TimeShift.

 

[nexen]

I have. It is terrible.
They tried to make it look like an action movie all the time and instead made it almost unplayable.
I got it for $5 and regret it.

That sucks. I'd so be down for a good arcade dog fighting game on steam.

 

[MMBosstones86]

Oh sweet... a 75% off coupon for Shogun 2.

...I already own this.

Anyone want?

 

[DagsJT]

Yep, the RPS review has me interested.

 

[MMBosstones86]

Proteus is the daily deal @ 50% off/ $4.99

this looks like it was created in mspaint

 

[SniperHunter]

That sucks. I'd so be down for a good arcade dog fighting game on steam.

Ace Combat was never about dog fighting...the new game just sucks. Ace Combat IV was sooo fucking good! Damn I loved that game

 

[Sober]

The fact that TimeShift is still on Steam when tons of other games disappeared - and TS is also an Acti-published game - is baffling to me.

 

[Chronoja]

From what I can discern so far about this is that it has no gameplay what so ever...you basically just walk around in a relatively "odd" looking place. Pretty difficult to justify £3.49 with that kind of synopsis...

Am I wrong in this understanding?

 

[derExperte]

Is Steam unusually slow today for anyone else? Also when I click through my screenshots I mostly get only black squares for a long time. Eventually some shots appears but not all.

Am I wrong in this understanding?

No. I'm interested in playing it one day but I'll wait until it's included in a indie bundle.

Saber is independent and Acti owns the IP, so there's no spanner to throw into the works.

Well, it's not THAT bad. I mean, there's always stuff such as... ehm... Big Rigs and Bad Rats, I guess.

But it's not a good Hitman game, not with that awful lot of cutscenes (and this is coming from someone who loved Max Payne 3) and broken disguise mechanics. It basically shat on everything the Hitman franchise was famous for, and turned it into an action/infiltration type of game. I guess it can be worth a playthrough because of the nice graphics, if that's your thing, but I seriously recommend that you play something better.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

When is the RE Rev demo going up?

 

[STAB-Gatekeeper]

For anyone interested in the new character for borderlands 2, its now up on the steam store for $10 USD, or you can get it for $8 from GMG using the voucher: GMG20-GGN5D-FC3NA.

 

[Chronoja]

I hope you are right because Timeshift is near the top of my "games to purchase" during the Summer sale, just in case it disappears like the rest of Acti's library. The reason I've held off so long being that I've played it before and the discount is never really substantial amongst the myriad of other games.

It's really disappointing that at this point in time, if a game has been on steam and then been removed that it's basically gone for good. Very few games I can think of that got pulled and then managed to return.

 

[Fusilli Craig]

Anybody interested in splitting a Anamoly 2 2-pack prior to it's release tomorrow?

 

[nexen]

Hm, I have a coupon for 75% off shogun 2 as well.
Anyone want it?

 

[Kifimbo]

It's valid until ?

Oooo do those activate on Steam? That would make them awful tempting.
