Not very. Just read a summary and you are right to go. W2 isn't exactly short, but the best of it is in Act 1 so you can bail out if you are not enjoying it.

Ack that sounds rough, I dropped the game about 4-5 hours in as I really wasn't enjoying it much. It did some cool things, but I hated the crowded inventory, felt like I was spending too much time running back and forth around places, and the combat really didn't do much for me (spent too much time rolling around, retreating or in spell / inventory menus). In general at this point in my gaming life I feel like I usually have a pretty good idea (from reviews, forums, my own tastes) of what games I'm going to like, but this one really disappointed me.

I felt Witcher 2 didn't pick up until act 3.

Act 1 is cool, but Flotsom is a chore.

I thought The Witcher 2 fell apart in act 3.

 

[Dolor]

Shani was way hotter in the first game, Trish was annoying and manipulative.

I found Triss in The Witcher 2 to be one of the best developed female characters I have seen. She was powerful, smart, had intelligent things to say, helpful, attractive and I genuinely looked forward to talking to her about what was going on in the story.

Spoiler

She does get damselled in the game a bit I suppose, but I don't really find that to be too subversive to her development as Letho was a beast of a man and could have damselled a freakin' grizzly bear.

 

[Knurek]

This is canon.
And she doesn't hold a candle compared to Yennefer re: being annoying and manipulative.

 

[koolaroo]

Ughhh I want Xcom Enemy Unknown but I can't buy any steam keys because of the stupid new credit card week long market lockout.

 

[Giran]

Yeah, same here. Act 3 was a mess.

 

[kennah]

Missed another X-COM Collection Gonna have to just grab the original on GOG one of these days. Never played any of them back in the day.

 

[toddhunter]

Me too. But maybe

Spoiler

that depends on how you played...

AVGN Adventures sounds awesome:

I assume this means that controller support is more than 1.

Means you can use controller and mouse at the same time.

Age of Empires Online and Microsoft Flight just removed from the Steam Store?

Seemingly that is what they just did on the registry, but I am on my phone

I was describing the first game there, not the second.

Yep both now re-directing to the homepage. I still have Microsoft Flight installed at home, I guess I'll see what happened to it now that it's been removed. I wonder if I can still play it.

They are showing up in the search bar, but when I try to click the link, I'm redirected to the home page.

 

[RionaaM]

I should really go back to The Witcher. I was enjoying it a lot, but one day I stopped playing it and never came back, for no reason at all.

Game is unstable as fuck though, crashes to desktop every 40 minutes or so.

 

[Dolor]

I wasn't disagreeing with you either. Just adding that I thought they did a good job of developing her in the second. It's been too long since I played Witcher 1 for me to have a strong opinion on her in particular although I know I really enjoyed the game overall.

Update on adding Indie Bundles to Enhanced Steam:

Bundles will either be marked PWYW or not. Obviously still work to be done but it's looking good!

I just so happen to have an extra copy and all of my friends already have it. Add me on steam and I'll hook you up.

Plot twist. Steam was using GFWL for its backend.

My heart literally skipped a beat. You are wonderful.

 

[Lonestar]

Was looking around to see if Steam was down...

....suicide sounding kind of like a good idea, to avoid the end of the world.

Stupid quasi update of Saints Row 4 fucked me for offline mode ;(

 

[doctorcdcs]

I asked this in the AOE/MS Flight thread, but I figure this would be a better place:

I have a steam key for Dark Souls as well as for a number of other games for which I have yet to add to my steam library. If DS or any of the other games were to be removed from the steam store before I redeem the key, does that mean the Steam key is useless, or can I still add it to my library after the fact?

Since you can still add retail keys for a number of games that are no longer sold through steam, it should in theory still be possible to add them.

 

[Syphon Filter]

steam is not down for me, only the store being laggy.

It's fine. The only thing you'd have to worry about is content that's only tied to gfwl that would have fed into the game (like dlc, and even then content should be fine if it was already purchased).

 

[More_Badass]

So I just realized that Dear Esther was made by the same devs as Amnesia. And now I'm interested in Dear Esther

 

[derExperte]

Nuuvem just sent out the European SR4 keys!

 

[Cheddahz]

I feel you.

I'm also seeing a lot of lvls 30-50 acting like they have no idea what the hell they're supposed to do in heists like Watchdogs or Rats. I even got a lvl 30 that blew up the lab as soon as we could put the ingredients in (and he wasn't griefing). It's almost like they only farmed UK job and this is their first real heist.
I wouldn't bother if they did this in normal difficulty but most of the time since they have a high level they join a pro overkill heist and ruin it.

The dude that ruined the heist for us left right after he did it too. I actually found a group of nice people last night and we played a bunch of missions together (I leveled up 14 times last night as well)

 

[maneil99]

Just unboxed this In CSGO, keep it or sell it?

 

[Turfster]

Dear Esther is completely different.
I haven't actually 'played' the remake yet, but the original mod was more of a story told to you as you very very slowly trudged around an island... and that was it really.

Nuuvem just sent out the European SR4 keys!

So the whole GMG NA-ROW malarkey had kept me waiting and wondering just long enough to miss out on preordering on nuuvem before they switched to selling BR only keys. Ah well, hope you have fun.

Just A Machine for Pigs, not the original. Don't think there's too much cross over appeal between the two games

Big thanks to the both of you for answering my question!

sell. But then again I just don't care much about CSGO.

 

[paperspace]

Gift it to someone who needs it.

Like, me.

Since it's an AK, I'd hold onto it. Otherwise, unless it's factory new, I'm tending to sell my skins.

 

[Exile550]

A few keys from the bundle. All steam.

Valve has not done a significant update to the steam client in a while. I am hoping they have something nice cooking.

No, Penumbra and Amnesia 1 = Frictional Games
Dear Esther and Amnesia 2 = The Chinese Room

 

[Nabs]

Could Mark of the Ninja be coming to Mac/Linux? They have a couple of Mac/Linux depots in the registry.

I see. Well from what I've seen of Esther, TCR certainly knows how to make some very atmospheric environments. So that's a good sign, kind of.

Sell it

I'm sure when the workshop skins come out someone will re-create it.

[PixyJunket]

So has anybody actually played Ittle Dew yet to shed some opinions?

I know it's only $5 but I have to pay rent at our old place AND mortgage on our new place this month (and I just got a ticket on the way home from work today) so I'm looking to be just a little bit smarter with money this month. I'm not particularly interested in the rest of the bundle games so I can wait for it to hit a daily deal later if need be.
