Pre-orders for a game that's already out on other distribution platforms? :/

Hail, peons, for I have come as ambassador from the great and bountiful Blueberry Butt Explosion
It's just how Steam does things.
This seems like a cool game, not announced for Greenlight yet.
looks like an 18th century city-builder game with an emphasis on gathering resources and survival.

Arkham Asylum and Arkham City have a lot of PhysX extras.
Trine is rather pretty. Runs on everything, but rather pretty.
Spec Ops: The Line is technically a shooter, but everyone just plays it on easy for the story and environments.
Hotline Miami looks like an acid trip on even the strongest of video cards.
Portal is also technically a shooter, but you only have one gun and it creates portals.
Dark Souls, DSFixed and upscaled, can be pretty impressive from what I've seen in the screenshot thread.
dont confuse graphically intensive with terrible physx/dx11 implementation
perhaps they fixed it but that shit was broken on release
Witcher 2 and Mirror's Edge look nice (Mirror's Edge can have guns, but it's primarily a running game).
Just Cause 2 is a shooter but not a first-person shooter, if that distinction helps.
Skyrim can look nice and probably eat video cards with mods, but that's going to take some research and effort since it's not out of the box.
Morrowind/Skyrim/Oblivion (modded)
Witcher 2
Dark Souls (actually has some amazing texture work in places. And the atmosphere is excellent)
Arkham Games
Mirror's Edge (has some shooting elements)
Sleeping Dogs (Has some shooting elements)
Don't have any screenshots because SLI causes all of the shots to be black.
"Ooooh Arkham City has Physx as well. Well lets test this out."
*runs benchmark with Physx on high, gets 5fps average*
"Hey? That shouldn't happen"
*turn Physx down to medium and switches to DX9, gets 50fps average*
Considering Asylym was quite a polished port City was marketed to be an nVidia ace with DX11 and all the latest Physx features that crippled pretty much any system at launch. Sort of fixed now but I'm long since done with it.
Mirrors edge is still one of the most graphical stunning games that uses Physx. If you want to see how pretty this game can be go check out Corky's pics in the downsampling thread.

I laughed. And I don't even know why everyone's talking about JaseC. What did he do this time?

Between Xelios and Jase I have no room for other people on my recently bought list lol.
I had about six months of not having access to my save thanks to GFWL, but yeah they mostly seem to have fixed it during that time.
But does Jase do recommendations? I'll guess no, since he's admitted to having no intention of playing most (?) of the games he owns.

Half-Life 3
never
Cut the Rope is pretty baller. I'll double dip when it's super cheap but the phone version is good enough for now.

some keys are region locked but the majority aren't. I'm pretty sure the keys you have aren't (also would gladly test that xcom key for you
Thanks, that worked.
After playing Super Hexagon, I'm fine with this.

What if it's a really good game?
It's been a thing for awhile but it's definitely picked up lately with games like Angry Birds, CTR, Organ Trail, etc etc.

Yea, I'll play Witcher 2. I bought it last year during the summer sale but never played it since my PC sucked. I'm building a new one, and it should be ready to go by tomorrow, and it's going to be pretty much ultimate extreme specs. So I'm going to give it a try now.
Dark Souls would be amazing, if I hadn't already played and beaten it on Console

gotta be fair here: 7extonly beats Jase. By far.
dude is also like a scholar. He buys every single game there is, even full $60 releases, plays them, and writes a recommendation
having him on your friend list is like improving steam's core features
he's also from Australia so yeah everyone there has steam fever
Yeah 7ext's almost to 4,000 profile count, far more than Jase or I (I'm currently at 2,930). Been friends with him since last summer and help him out with his collecting habits when he needs stuff at US prices. He does buy pretty much everything and I reckon he has enough money to not give a shit about waiting for sales, unlike Jase and I and the other hoarders on my list. To the extent of buying a copy of the same exact game from every region it's available. Yeah.
He's a great guy and pretty informed with everything pertaining to Steam. Sometimes too nice and I've seen people transparently try to take advantage of him to get free games and shit, which I'm no stranger to myself, so I actually talked with him about this at one point in time. So no one get any big ideas of adding him for that purpose because I've already warned him.
Last I asked, which was a long time ago, his GAF account wasn't approved or something, not sure of the status at this point. I'd like to see him around these parts though. Edit: Seems he's still not in and will have to apply again.
I do write them, but a bit different in that I usually don't until I'm completely finished with a game, so they come along much slower (especially since I've barely been playing lately).
Reminds me of that starting camp in Suikoden III.
This week just makes it seem like everything is coming to Steam.

Would be cool if that iOS game was Final Fantasy Tactics.

Hopefully, I despise Apple. Android is also getting a nice amount of love in the past year.

Cores, shaders and BIOS oh my!
Indie games going on every platform they can, Steam and iOS included, has been a thing, yes.
Well in my quest to start actually playing some of the stuff I've bought just fired up They Bleed Pixels. Totally mental action platformer with a weird Lovecraftian story underpinning it. Either my skills are a little blunt or this game doesn't fuck around but it's all awesome. Should be on sale so if your a glutton for punishment or want something Meat Boy-ish but get to beat the crap out of your foes look no further.

How is it like DLC quest, a side scrolling game? It looks like a Zelda style game that starts with 8bit style visuals and progresses through various stages until modern 3D. Kind of like Genetos did for shmups, showing the genre evolution.
If Infinity Blade: Dungeons came to Steam I'd buy the fuck out of it
It has to come to iOS first though lol
I played 3 or 4 levels of it. It's really good, but WAY too hard for me.

I just finished Thomas Was Alone and really enjoyed it. A fun 2 hours. Don't understand how only 9 of my friends on steam have played it.
Kinda like the Android app?

I like your thinking, ht.
Jase, I've sent you a friend request - may need to refer to your Steam habits during relationship counselling.
Is Community down for anyone else?
Edit: of course, just had to ask the question here for it to come good. Never mind!
Both games deliberately restrict you from performing certain actions (such as the ability to move left) or withhold audiovisual improvements until you achieve certain objectives (paying up in DLC Quest, and...presumably finding treasure chests? in Evo) Though they obviously use wildly different justifications for this (the former satirizing the overuse of DLC, the latter at least partly as homage to hardware restrictions found in older games) in both, unlocking all the features of the game is...a very important objective of the game.
Your example is probably a better one, though.
