Black Ops 2 was just there due to the free weekend.

freedom force was neat back when it was released. kind of like fallout, a bit of action rpg if you're into that.
Knights of the Old Republic if you want to see where Mass Effect came from. Might be a bit dated as well.
STALKER - I never got into that. Requires a deeper investment than most single person shooters IMO
nothing really jumps out at me so i guess they're at 0 hours for a reason
Missed Blood Money until someone mentioned it I would do that one first if it were me.
lol the love for shadow of chernobyl brings a tear to my eye but I've beaten it like 3 times already on my boxed copy
kotor, machinarium, bio, thief 3 and gta 4 too.
stupid boxed copies
black ops 2.... lol
we gotta dig deeper (I prolly need to buy some new games)
Rayman Origins is vibrant and fun.
I really really liked freedom force vs. the third reich but I haven't played the first one
tbh I should probably play them again, I really like that kind of games
blood money I've beaten it on ps2 and should probably play it again too
am I a bad person for not liking rayman origins?
dupy generously gifted it to me and I just didn't enjoy how it felt, I'm not big into platformers but something about it just didn't click with me
...
I think I'll just do another playthrough of new vegas
also I think imma change avatars, this one scares me
It may mean that you're a grinch.
(I realise the OP is actually referring to Legends, but "close enough" and all that.

Simply amazing.
Anyways, I think I may be incompatible with GAF Hivemind.
I enjoyed Mass Effect 3, and now I'm playing Borderlands (solo!) and love every second of it so far.
Tempted to try Hitman Absolution or Tomb Raider next.

I bought this one too, but I would not expect a Steam key to be added on the key page since it is a pretty bland page. Are you sure about this?
Edit:
The key does not redeem anything on Steam.

Hahah. Thank you for letting this be the first thing I see after just getting up.

dunno about gaf but you won't get any sympathies from me

That is pretty damn good Todd
Did some searching and apparently you need to get the Steam key from your actual game account

Bought the DDE version. Used today's good deed
I considered using some of my Blue Coins, but I still hope to one day amass enough of them to buy something significant... like a new release.

Thanks! I have one more game in my backlog!

Does Saints Row IV make SR3 redundant? Or is it worth it to play SR3 first and then 4 a few months later? I mean just the games, disregarding price and hype since one game is relatively new.
I'd say no, both are funny on their own and sr4 does its own thing what with running at super speeds and whatnot.
I recommend you start with 3 and then go to 4, because you won't be feeling like driving after running through the whole city in like 20 seconds.

Yeah it's still worth playing SR3. I think SR3 has a stronger lasting appeal than SR4.

Any mods you guys recommend that I should stick on system shock 2 before I give it a whirl? Figured I should drag myself away from Hard Reset and actually give it a shot haha.

Thank you!
And thank you too!.
Welcome aboard!
You're a Keith Laumer fan? Always nice to run into someone who appreciates the classics.
Thank you as well, and yes, a Laumer fan. Thanks for noticing.
Bonus points if you can name the book from which my Retief avatar is sourced.
Far be it for me to moan, but I will...
been playing Legend of Dungeons and it is as predicted a fun filled romp through death filled dungeons...
Whats the problem then?
Well, there is no save feature, make a roguelike if you must, their prerogative, but with no "quit save" function, you essentially have to play for 5+ hours straight if you want to complete the game...
it has 26 levels, then you have to get back.....
Daft decision!
So I have a spare hour now, and I would like to play it, but I know there is no point, as I will have to stop at Lunch

I am alive is kind of exactly what I thought it'd be, a whole bunch of great ideas held back by weak minute-to-minute mechanics.
it has great moments of running through the city scavenging for supplies and taking out a whole room of dudes without wasting a bullet but it's too simplistic and underdeveloped, unfortunately, and climbing is just not fun at all and the combat is clunky and unresponsive.
the retry system is nice in theory but unlike the souls games replaying through parts doesn't feel rewarding and I don't enjoy the tension nearly as much. looting is really good tho, I'm on normal now and I'm using items constantly and concerning if going in one direction will yield enough loot to make it a worthwhile expense, etc. I really like that.
I'm enjoying it and its just refreshing to play a non-zombie apocalypse game
just wish it was better
in the end I just recommend it for anyone looking for something unusual and with stomach for jankyness

Registry leaks are now somewhat less likely to occur going forward as subs marked as DevComp no longer publicly broadcast their actual names.
You played 2 already I hope?
Yup, I always suck terribly at those kinds of games. Super Meat Boy (though I managed to get to the 3rd or 4th world), They Bleed Pixels, Dark Souls (different genre, equally hard), bullet hell shooters... And still I keep trying them, because there has to be one game I can be good at, right? But no, hard game I try, hard game that kicks my ass and leaves me weeping in the corner.
I'm sure I'll get to that death count and still won't have beaten the first boss
One thing to keep in mind is that no-one is magically instantly good at these games. You get good at hem by putting lots of time into them. Practice makes perfect, and these games are eventually much more satisfying when you do get good at them.
Some of the skill does transfer over between games though, someone who's mastered several bullet hell games will probably progress much more quickly in a new bullet hell game. If you've beaten Demon Souls, Dark Souls will be a lot easier, etc.
Rogue Legacy is a bit different as the upgrading means everyone can beat the game eventually if you keep levelling up. Someone who's better at the game will just beat it sooner, but eventually you reach the point where you can simply tank the final boss by standing next to him and hitting him.

Finally got my first foil...
It's from Rogue Legacy and the foil prices have dropped around 80% in last 24 hours ;_____________; '._.

It's pretty hard on the early races too and just gets harder :/. It looks lovely but its predecessor on the N64 has a far more measured difficulty curve. GX is stunning visually but X is the better overall game from that point of view.

Hey guys I'm curious, did the X-Men Legends and Marvel Ultimate Alliance games were available in Steam back in the day? Who has the rights of the games?
Might be tricky
But leave it with me. I got this.

Welcome, kulapik - fine way to make an entrance, too. Had you been waiting long for your account approval?
Not really, two-three months, would say I'm lucky :lol:

Its odd that account approval was done on a Saturday, I guess somebody come home drunk and flipped the switch.
so at my first steam summer sale a bought about 75% of games that couldn't even run on my current pc, to make the decision easier to finally buy a faster one.
i finally did buy one, but now i am afraid that when i will login into my account with completely different hardware that i will get a time penalty (don't know a better expression) for the community market/trading card thing.
does anybody know if this will happen please ?

Yeah that's what I hesitated to say to RionaaM yesterday when he mentioned the fact that he skipped 2.
Yup, it is indeed a meh port, I experienced several crashs, the game is not beautiful and I even had to tone down the settings a bit for the frame rate seemed, not bad, just strange, floaty (?).
Buttt, in my experience it was nowhere near a catastrophic port. In fact I just played through it for the first time some days ago in preparation for SR3 then SR4.
And for the record RionaaM, I think I could have wrote 90% of what you replied to me concerning you desire to play series in order, that's partly why your post resonated so much for me.
So it buggered me to no end that I hadn't finished SR1 and was jumping on 2. But all that my time with the first one evokes to me is 'shitty, very shitty GTA clone'. So 2 it was. And while there is quite some references to the first one, I could enjoy SR2. It still has an awful lot of secondary mission padding. Bad secondary missions too. But the main quest is full of fun moments and quirky characters you grow fond of.
Still of the mind that Volition didn't know where it wanted to go with the series, what's with the huge tonal change practically at each iteration, but after SR2 I will gladly play SR3 and onward.
You'll be fine. Valve did implement tighter temporary account restrictions for those who'd only recently enabled Steam Guard, including a trading restriction if a user signed into his/her account on a new device, but these changes were pulled as they were affecting many, many users who didn't fit the criteria.
