Guys; what is your most played game on steam?

For me it's L4D2 with

Spoiler

421

hours

Steam wasn't tracking hours when I used to play CS:S every day. It would have been hundreds and hundreds.

If League of Legends was on steam it'd be in the 500 hour range.

So in the end it's BL2 with 51 hours lol.

 

[woo and indeed hoo]

Usually after a week

They usually go up a week after the bundle does

Thanks.

If I say I am stupidly excited to see what the extra games will be, will you still respect me in the morning?

[It's my first Humble Bundle! Allow me this excitement before I get all world weary and jaded like you HB vets please!]

 

[RionaaM]

Well, even in a greater scale. What sale allowed you to buy 6 AAA games for 1$? It's just ridiculous.

I got 12 EA games on Origin for $0 last October. So that was a better deal, albeit unintentional.

 

[Sportbilly]

if there's anyone left who still needs these...

Thanks for Satazius, JakeD, very good of you

I only snagged The Saboteur. I didn't particularly care about anything else.

 

[More_Badass]

Damn it, only got $10.40 and Shelter's releasing this month. Didnt want to clear out my wallet so soon, who knows what crazy indie releases are coming later this month or next month

Now I'm unclear, is Shelter open world? Linear? Procedurally generated?

Just killed Satan for the first time myself, funnily enough doing it whilst on a challenge run!

Speaking of which, it has some terrible performance problems on my temp rig (G2030+6770), barely breaking 30 fps whenever anything happens in game.

Anyone know of any speed up tips for the game for ATI users?

 

[throwawayname]

Thank you Uiki.

 

[Tenrius]

Is Anna as bad as reviews seem to say it is? worth it for 66% off?

I don't know about the enhanced edition, but the original release was horrible. Avoid.

Tried Burnout Paradise yesterday. I've wanted to play it for a while and was sufficiently satisfied, even though I mostly just drove everywhere crashing my car

I also found a motorcycle but I couldn't see how to use it for missions; are there motorcycle missions later in the game? I tried the "stop at traffic lights" thing but didn't get the prompt to start any mission while on it.

Also, how do I know what missions to play? The starter car seems to be at a huge disadvantage in everything I tried

The game's Greenlight page offers the following overview:

Shelter is a third-person, single-player adventure game for PC and Mac and that is developed in Unity. It tells the story of a badger family facing the dangers of the wild, while the cubs are too young to survive without their mother. The games narrative is linear and guides the player through the badger families’ life, and different scenarios that nature brings: Deep forests, vast fields, dark nights, heavy rain, hungry predators and even raging wildfires.

If you go to a scapyard you can change between cars and motorcycles. And check what class the car is, there are different race categories like stunts or normal races.

Anomaly Warzone Earth and NightSky are both still up for grabs from my previous giveaway here

On another note, was anyone able to confirm if buying Saints Row IV from Nuuvem results in needing a Brazilian VPN or proxy to unlock it if you're elsewhere in the world? I wanna pick it up however from Steam it's 35.99 whereas Nuuvem works out at 20.49 so quite the saving, but if there's a load of aggro/hassle in doing the latter I'll probably just go through Steam.

TF2 with 4,680 hrs on record.

Woah.

Rumours say that the bonuses are following
Red Alert 3 - Uprising
Bulletstorm
Medal of Honor - Airbourne
Dead Space 2

I've seen this list a couple times now. Where is it coming from?

 

[Nillansan]

The game was fun. But they should add more than just a few more weapons and enemies to make it more entertaining.

I agree. Now that they are launching it through Early Access, I do hope they will develop the game around player feedback.

I have faith Vlambeer, they're good people.

Thanks. I was reading through the Q&A discussion on the community page and found that the game is:

Not mission based, but level based in an open setting

Sounds cool. Damn, hate having to make decisions like this. Anyone of any other games that might get released soon? Or should I wait for the next big Sale?

 

[Ingueferroque]

Woah.

Showed up on SteamDB apparently, I'm guessing these bundle games require a new Steam Database entry.

Thank you scokem for Torchlight! Mom recently moved and she is finally starting to use her Steam account I made her, so she'll have something else to play besides Civ V!

 

[JaseC]

Anyone know of any speed up tips for the game for ATI users?

From what I can gather it didn't play nicely with Radeon cards upon release and due to Pandemic's closure there wasn't much post-release support. AMD's done what they can on the driver side, so if you haven't done so already I'd ensure your drivers are up-to-date, but it's still a less-than-ideal experience.

The Autumn Sale is three months away so if you have enough stuff to tie you over until then, it'd be worth waiting for a discount. It'll probably be half off by then.

Oh wow, Soldiers of Fortune! I remember this playing this awesome game with my brother on the genesis.

Looking at wikipedia, I never knew a sequel was released. Looks like it was a good followup too

Thanks for the giveaway, I grabbed Space Empires V.

I don't think that you need a VPN to redeem Saints Row IV. There's no Brazilian-only versions of games that would require that, afaik.

I'm in the same boat, been waiting for Shelter and my funds are dwindling (Divekick in a few days isn't helping). Any news on when Shelter is coming?

Hopefully not too high, heard they were using Amiga codebase directly, and the game was running there at 20 fps (if not lower). :\

Hehe, 178 hours here.

I was around the 80 hour mark when I got the golden god achievement, erased my save file and did it again before the DLC was released.

Though I have all achievements, I still need to find 1 last item, which means I might cross the 200 hours played.
