Thanks, one thing I'm confused about. Had to resintall as I guess I removed it at some point but how do I get the settings to be "simpler"
For example, this is an image I found
Whereas mine has all the settings in all caps and 10/20 characters long. Did I download the wrong version?
Edit: Nevermind. Somehow didn't extract the name settings.

I got to play a couple of hours of Guacamelee and this game is really excellent. The game is a perfectly fine metroidvania, but on top of that the combat is very fun thanks to the fact it plays like a beat them up. You can also juggle your opponents very easily and create your own kick ass 9000 hit combo.
This might be a dumb question, but did you download and install Nvidia Inspector? It's a separate tool, not part of the Nvidia driver suite.
Edit: Ah, you got it. I couldn't check for myself as Remote Desktop doesn't support GPU acceleration so I was in a rather poor position to help.
Oh good, that is the only DLC I bought. Yay!

Is there any active GMG coupon that works on Payday 2?
I have a hard time picking a favorite between the Bios, but I love Infinite too. Story, setting and presentation are all excellent and the gameplay is fun too. Harder difficulties really make you take singular approaches, play around with the vigors and have the weapons take a supporting role in the backseat. Having a blast replaying it on hard atm and going after the collectibles, I'll try 1999 later too and, although BaS is obvously the main course, I'm actually looking forward to tackling CitC when I buy the Season Pass (waiting for a sale).
And check this thread if you haven't yet!
GMG20-4B9NY-L4FEN is valid until the 16th. Knocks it down to $24.

Ain't that the truth.
Seriously this will stick with me for years after playing the game: http://youtu.be/xqb7aixNTMo
It was just one of those moments in gaming that you'll always remember.

Guacamelee is amazing so far. Too many games this month...
Trying to get it going on my Shield, but can't get past the title menu
. It says press Start but she ain't working.Ah well, back to spelunky for now...
cause everyones playing one of the best games ever made bro
Speaking of that, I missed this moment during my first run. Saw it today when I went through that area and was pleasantly surprised.

In Dishonored, you could pick up bodies right? I'm almost sure i remember moving them about and throwing them into rivers to be eaten. Can't for the life of me figure out how to do it now in Knife of Dunwall :/
Uh, same way you could before, iirc. Just "use" the body (don't forget to hold until you've got it)
Chance Hale

Nope :/ and when I tried to pick up the guard I got his weapon so the use button definitely works.
I agree, Papers Please is pretty damn good.
At this rate Gray Matter will never be greenlite, oh well I guess I'll keep my boxed copy.

get 3 more dollars and you can get 2 games
Be strong and hold out for the sales, you can do it.

The thing that's great about Spelunky is that it's enjoyable on a systemic level. I mean it has an "end" to get to, but you're not playing it to punch through the content. To that end, it's great to just pop in for ten minute bursts; or two hours bursts, but there's no sense of commitment to playing it. Play it a little now, play it a little a month from now, play it between other games you're playing, it works for everything and isn't something you can feel guilty about.

Stop whatever you're doing, install and play the Cave Story+ sitting in your backlog which is a blasphemy. Problem solved (at least for 4-5 hours).

Had no idea Spelunky and Guacamelee were hitting steam. Let alone in the same day of all things. Dammit I didn't expect to spend money today. But I am glad I did.
Let's be strong together.

Can someone load up Dishonored Knife of Dunwall on the PC and make sure you can still pick up bodies? It just won't work for me, reset the controls and everything.
Tell me about it. Gone Home is coming pretty soon too. And Saints Row 4 and Rome 2 shortly after.
Be strong. It'll be worth it when you get all those games for 50% off or more.

I was going to wait, but I found a spare Dota 2 item to sell, so I was able to pick up both Spelunky and Guacamelee. My backlog cries out once more lol.

Guacamelee is a big surprise for me. I was not expecting such a high design quality for the graphics and the music. The game feels a lot like Fly'N in that sense, but the game is maybe a bit harder.
Spelunky is way too hard for today, it is a game I could play a bit everyday but not two hours in a row. It is as frustrating as BoI, and more than FTL.
My thoughts too.
I actually agree with this. I'm not really interested in any of these new games, so I'll definitely wait for 50%-75% off.

You can pick up all three at once on sale and put them in your backlog, or buy one of them now while they're hot and enjoy the hell out of it. The game doesn't get worse the later you buy it, but your chance of actually playing it goes down a lot in my experience.
Gonna pick up Spelunky when I'm done with exams on tuesday and it'll be awesome.

Thanks a million, I wasn't holding it long enough. Feel really stupid!
Great to see The 7th Guest greenlit. I tried to play that game when I was a kid but it was too advanced for me. I'm looking forward to trying it again.
It's... not really a game. Well, I guess there's games, but they're really, really simple puzzles. It's rather shit, to be honest.
I've only played the original freeware version of Spelunky, but I'm guessing the difficulty is comparable. If you really want to enjoy the game, it's best to approach it like a roguelike - expect to die often, and go into each new game with an attitude of, "How far can I get this time?" (Which is pretty much the same advice I give people about FTL, come to think of it.)
