Really great video about the development of the original XCOM and the reboot. With lead developers from both games.

What are you trying to do here

Don't ask questions Nabs.

 

[RionaaM]

If he takes a bad screenshot, he has to delete the whole folder.

Or format the drive and reinstall everything.

I'm not very good at XCOM but damn it is a fun game.

 

[DarkFlow]

If you restart your steam client it should pop up, for some reason the games list doesn't properly assign it until you restart so it "checks" your permissions.

Did not work, must not be out yet.

Awesome stuff, thanks for posting it in here because I don't really follow the XCOM thread.

I scratch your back, you scratch mine...with a screenshot of Brutal Legend.

I've never actually been to the XCOM thread, just got finished watching the video and thought you guys would be interested.

Very cool to see those two developers discuss their games, and the first time they had met as well.

The development process for the original XCOM sounds very interesting, just two guys working on a game that they love. Kind of like modern day indie games. Whats really interesting is the publisher feedback actually improved the game tremendously and added a significant amount of depth. Where as now, publishers usually like to streamline and homogenize.

You, sir, are like the devil of OCDs.

Painkiller HD is deal of the day for 5$, lowest it has ever been. I think I'll bite.

 

[DarkFlow]

CoH2 beta is now live btw.

 

[dark_inferno]

http://groupees.com/retro will start in 14 hours and has 2 Steam games.
Anodyne and Dead Pixels

 

[YianGaruga]

Didn't Anodyne just come out? Or was that just the Steam release? Anyway, I'll get it. If Bleed is the game I think it is it's supposed to be pretty good as well.

I'll probably check this out for Bleed and Dead Pixels.

 

[CheesecakeRecipe]

Dead Pixels was a pretty neat little distraction.

 

[Acorn]

Nice speed

Damn it kept screwing up my tags

 

[JaseC]

Just the Steam release -- the game itself is two months old.

 

[SapientWolf]

Just don't buy Skydrift, the 30fps cap in that made it feel like balls. Put your money towards Sonic All Stars Transformed.

It was on sale for like $2.00 one time and I didn't buy it then, for that reason.

 

[Tizoc]

What's the new daily deal btw? Can't access Steam at work >_<.

 

[AlphaProspector]

Indeed it came out on March 22 on Steam but, like it has been said, it's 2 months old.

Now, seems the week-long deals were scrapped for real, right? Or am I missing something here?

Moreover, how many times did they put Orcs Must Die 2 on sale already? Seems 6 times or more since november according to that Steam sales site. And I'm not counting that it has been on sale on other sites too. With a catalog of like 2000 games they keep putting the same pool of games...

edit: which is why I'm glad they put the Supreme Commander games for sale, that was great, heh.

 

[BoosterDuck]

How do I download the Company of Heroes 2 Beta?

And is it possible to remote download cause I'm not at home right now

 

[Joe Molotov]

Painkiller Complete Pack 75%

 

[Deques]

I had no problem with the 30 fps cap. I didn't even know there was a cap. The game is fun, buy it and put it in your endless big backlog

Restart steam, then it will show up on top of your Preorder as beta stress test.

Also it's still under NDA :/ so no talking about it here sadly.

http://community.companyofheroes.co...-Heroes-2-Closed-Beta-Live?page=1#post-220747

As a reminder anyone participating in the Closed Beta is under a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA). Sharing information, images or footage of Company of Heroes 2 is not allowed. Anyone breaking the NDA will be removed from the Beta and may face further legal action.

Painkiller Complete Pack 75%

For anyone thinking about this, just go with Painkiller Black.

 

[Spookie]

You need to pre order CoH2 to get in the beta. Not sure if alpha testers get in. Not sure what to do with my Eurogamer key either. ;/

This man is correct.

The deals went up yesterday; there was just no news post, oddly.

Edit: Added link.

And by "pre-order," that's paid in full and not just $5 down somewhere?

Alpha and other beta keys from eurogamer get in the 21st.

Not sure who is getting a key I pre ordered with GMG and didn't get a code.

Mmm, wouldn't you mind to point me to a post/list/thing? Thanks in advance. (I can't seem to find it.)

edit: Ah, caught! Well, thanks for the link!

I've sold a vintage TF2 hat for more than that lol

It seems beta access is, outside of key giveaways, a Steam pre-purchase incentive.

Haha, no worries. Forgot to add it initially.

With regards to Torchlight 2.

If you get the Syngergies mod, you can import your vanilla characters. Navigate to my documents/runic/ or something of the sort, and then take your savegame from the vanilla and put it in the mod folder savegame location. I'm not at my gaming PC ATM, but if you poke around I'm sure you can find the right directory.

I played a bit of synergies this morning, still haven't found the "new" stuff, but they've added some new classes. It seems this game has infinite replay value given how much they are adding and also they are revamping the end-game to make it even more long lasting.

I hate my steam backlog. My wallet hates me much in the same way.

 

[Stallion Free]

Really? Painkiller HD isn't any good?

It's unnecessary and missing content. Some of the gaps have been filled in by DLC now though. The original plays better, aged fine visually, has 100% of the content and is cheaper.

 

[Lord British]

Painkiller Black is excellent. Every other Painkiller is trash.

Orcs Must Die 2 is one of the midweek deals at 3.74

It's one of the best cooperative experiences I've played. If you don't own it yet, get on it.

I've barely touched the first one, but maybe I should just drop it and move on to 2.

Red Orchestra 2 is great...people go go go!

[Sinatar]

Yea as Stallion said it's just a cut down lesser version of the original. Graphics aren't even that much better.

 

[RionaaM]

Same here, I could do with a co-op partner for OMD2, I haven't started it yet.

Is the Steam website awfully slow for anyone else, as in pages don't even load?

 

[dark_inferno]

* Please note: Purchasers in Germany will be given a Germany-specific Steam key in order to enable the German language option.

Meh. Not even worth 1$

The perfect example of a modern game, release it broken and fix it later.

 

[Joe Molotov]

There's really no reason to play OMD1 instead of 2, especially if you wanna do co-op (since you can't in 1).

 

[Big_Al]

Painkiller HD is by no means awful though, I've still had a lot of fun with it even if it's not really 'necessary' in comparison to the original. It's well made and much much better than the other shitty Painkiller 'releases' which aren't Black. At least if you buy HD you can still have fun *spits in general direction of other Painkiller games* They're also releasing an SDK and doing Steam Workshop support for it to so it's nice to see that as well.

I must admit I am much more interested in The Farm 51s new game Deadfall Adventures though.

 

[DarkFlow]

Well the CoH2 beta is already broke lol.

 

[RionaaM]

$2.92 for Killing Floor + all DLC? I'm in! (I paid $2.95, I'm not a cheap-ass )

Some of the best weapon sounds and handling and hit detection in any game. I should play it more.
