Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
This site has come a long way, but I don't like that so many games are still based on an estimate which is based on an average. I've bookmarked it to review in the future though.
Sometimes I beg, but I actually get games automatic from EA, Sony, Activision and kalypso. Some other publishers I most send a mail to about 2 weeks before the game releases if I want that exact game to review. Square, Namco Bandai and Deep Silver are really hard to contact.
Sparing money is cool, but Im doing it most because I love to write reviews.

Why get into semantics when you can just expand the definition to match the reality? When you get into "roguelike-like" it's just stupid. Let it have a broader meaning, just like "RPG" has now.

whats the common problem?
I understand asking the big ass devs. But c'mon, indie games? They need sales man, not giving away their games for free lol
I agree brah
I just asked on the Volition stream if Saints Row IV will have Steam Workshop support and they said they're looking into it and it probably will in the future
that'd be insane
I generally don't care for FPS or real-time strategy. I tend to just stay away from the genres rather than subject myself then complain about every game in them, though.
Have you tried Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup? What did you think about Dungeons of Dredmor?
IMO, Spelunky is clearly meant to evoke Indiana Jones imagery, from the outfit to the boulder and gold idols, etc.
It's meant to be fast paced and on the run. Sure there was a moment before he picked up the idol that was quiet, but from there it was dangerous, etc.
Anyways there was a demo, right? At least the old version on their website. Lots of existing footage from Xbox 360, etc.
I buy most of the indie games I want. But the reason Im not buying Gone Home before a sale if I don't get a review copy is because 17,09€ is too high price for me. Would buy it if it costed like 13,99€.
Still up.

Was considering Dungeons of Dredmor, yay or nay?

Just going to try my luck, one last time:
Anyone have a copy of QUBE they're willing to trade?
Games I have to trade can be seen here, if interested. I'll trade any game, or any number of games.
(Sorry, if trading requests aren't allowed here)

prior to e3 there were a bunch of rumors of Halo trilogy coming to Steam, what happened to that?

It has been my experience that all of them rely on keeping the player in ignorance by killing them, but after enough time/deaths, you learn how things work. Once you know how they work, you succeed, but it is static, mindless, unengaging gameplay. I don't get angry from dying, but I also don't get a boner from dying like fans of roguelikes seem to. I also see right through the death mechanic to see the stale gameplay from the start, and I don't look at my hour count and think it was a good experience based on that. I also feel no great sense of accomplishment from doing something I could have done the first time if I simply knew the static mechanics they purposefully leave you ignorant of for an illusion of development.
Learning doesn't feel like "getting better" to me, it's simply a matter of time. What I am doing in the meantime has to be fun, but with these games it seems that the death and finding out is intended to be the enjoyable aspect in itself, because the rest of the gameplay leaves you with little real options or dynamics to have your own style and way of playing with it. Even something with limited options can be expressive, but not so with these. Now this is where fans of the genre try to pop in and describe all the "different" ways people play their game of choice, but I disagree that they are fundamentally different and we get in an amazingly obnoxious argument.

Maybe I'm missing something and not to be snarky but where are all those reviews? The blog you link to in your profile is pretty empty. Is that really already enough to get pubs/devs to send you games?
Dungeons of Dredmor is totally rad if you like the roguelikes. Fully great game. Viking wizardry.
www.fantomena.wordpress.com is my new blog I made a few weeks ago. I had www.fantomena.bloggr.no where over 200 of my reviews were published, but Bloggr.no died due to DDOS attacks and spammers, so I needed to go over to worpress and start new.
Announcement for Halo 2 pushed back to early 2014. Halo 3 could come with it.

Ah, yeah, that makes sense. Did you lose all reviews? That sucks, no backups anywhere?

dang
I think I have a couple of backups. I for example wrote an insanely long review of The Last of Us. I think it came on 5 pages with letter size 12 in Word.
So yeah, I don't just write reviews just because I like free games, but I love to write reviews.
I posted a link to the review on N4G: http://n4g.com/news/1272343/the-last-of-us-review-fantomena-bloggr
is the port royal controller support good, and is the weed emot hard to get
Don't do it man. Winners don't do drugs.
(Also the market is going to tank soon)

is there any benefit to playing mirrors edge on normal (unlocks or areas only seen on higher difficulties) or am i ok to just play on easy?
It's been... quite a few years, but I think the difficulty slider only influenced the enemies, really, and you want those as easy as you want because they fuck up the whole flow of the game. Fuck whoever thought the game had to have combat.
FFFFFFFF I think dishonored fucked up my Brigmore saves. The last one is a quicksave mistake on a death, so when I go back to either of the 2 autosaves before it, it crashes to desktop with a memory error...

Try playing without Runner Vision or whatever they call that red stuff. Just turn it back on if you find it too difficult.

All these indie games, I give up, game over man.

any particular reason or just to make that stuff less obvious? i'll do that, just in the tutorial now. am i the only one who thinks LT should be jump and LB should be duck, instead of having the bumper jump? seems goofy but maybe i just played too much BLEED
I love Indie Gaming, but they are making it difficult.
So many high quality games just getting dumped on us. How can we experience them all?

I found the game more fun with a slight touch of exploration, but I know it's not for everyone.
Oculust Rift game where you have 5 monitors playing 5 indie games at the same time
I just caught up on 6 pages of steamGAF. This is the weirdest I think I've seen this thread. Well done.
in other news I got payday 2 issues resolved and it's crazy how much better it is over the first.
edit: in the off chance you guys get a black border around your payday 2 game. make the game run in windowed. exit. then make it go full screen and you are golden.

Slow down this stuff is gonna kill you
im still lookin for a way to force AA. Downsampling gives me mouse lag.
PC games with no AA options in 2013, gg
You can't force it through drivers?
Yeah, I really like Payday 2 but the jaggies everywhere are killer. Looks like shit. I can downsample it and still get a solid 60, but it feels like I'm playing underwater.
I cant find a profile that works
