STEAM announcements & updates 2013 - Year of the SteamBox

Baldur's Gate EE is a newish game by Beamdog (I mentioned that yesterday btw), to modernize and also "enhance" BG1.
I don't think they have anything to do with the old D&D back catalog, and the effort to get those, in an as-is state, onto steam. Those old games would have presumably been added to Steam completely unchanged.
Also, BG-EE was added to Steam registry just yesterday, whereas the back catalog games have been sitting in the registry for quite some time.

I hope the Steam version of BG-EE doesn't have weird DRM on it...does it use Steam for patches, or Beamdog's thing?
That's where I'm at. Took way too long on chapter 2. Love the game still though.

This is about when you start to figure out that if you are going to fail, you might as well fail at top speed. Get to the restarts faster that way. Then you start to get much better at the game when you are playing it at that speed.
How do the Grotesque Tactics games compare to the Kings Bounty and HOMM games?
It's nothing like the Kings Bounty/HoMM games

The store page doesn't mention any DRM or the use of a third party platform, so hopefully that means it is just using Steam for updates.

Gigaton. Will buy immediately.
Always thought this looked fun in videos, I'll hold off until a good sale and some more time for patching, but will definitely grab this at one point
.already anticipating the old school rpg steam summer sale pack
I've never actually played any of these games, do they run well on Windows 7?
It is currently the top seller in my region. lol.

Yeah they all or almost all have community fixes to ensure proper compatibility with modern OSs.
Really easy to make this decision. How much are you willing to spend for an hour of fun?
I mean after an hour you come to the conclusion that your actually partaking in the day to day live of a truck driver.

As opposed to any other Simulation game ever?
Some people find pretending to do other jobs fun.
Saying that, I don't think this type of game is the type I would personally enjoy.
It's actually a really good sim.
Of course the subject matter is pretty niche (driving trucks across europe) but it's really well made.

I would buy that if I got to argue over who took my stapler.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
Shhh quiet you. That suggests that the community is actively selecting games it wants to buy and not that Valve is secretly rigging each month's results. That simply doesn't jell with the fact that my terrible 1-bit dating sim/tower defense/metroidvania game still hasn't been greenlit.
This basically confirms that Greenlight does exacty what it was conceived to do. Well played Garry, well played...
I'd buy it too haha.
"50% of your employees fall asleep on the job! Upgrade Coffee Maker for $300 to make employees more productive."
"Garry broke your new printer! Remember to train your employees."
"It's raining today. Anne, Jodie, Bob, Jim, Garry, Joe, Craig, and 20 other of your employees called in sick."
The problem is, people on GAF realized that's not what they actually want, since the games they like won't actually sell well, which means they have little to no chance to get through the sieve.
Therefore, Greenlight has been branded as shit and Valve needs to scrap it and hire employees to pick games that won't sell.
Why? I don't understand.

It is the most realistic simulator of this kind.

My problem is really with the awkward controls. I'm playing with mouse+kb, but I don't think the controls will get better using a joypad.
The atmosphere of the game is pretty good, tho.

Because it's a good game.
Watch the giant bomb quick look on it. I was sold on it before that but it looks fun as hell in spurts. It's not something I'd play for 4 hours straight but there's lots of customization and RPG elements in it. It's not all just driving.
Yeah, I'm obviously missing some reference here.

For the same reason that people say Sleepy Dawgz: To stoke the flames of my ire; to make my vengeance just a skosh more just.

Did you like my Borederlands in the other thread?
It's the management elements that make me interested in these simulation games, it's what I liked more than anything about Farming Simulator 2013 as well, which was one of my honourable mentions for GOTY.

It's a shitty sim game where you drive a truck.
Could you elaborate more on your extensive experience with the game? What were some of its main failings?
I can't. It's an opinion based on previous simulator games such as euro truck 1 or farming simulator and the like.
Here, I'll reword my previous statement:
It's a game I find shitty because it is a 18 wheeler simulator which isn't something I ever will be remotely interested in. I don't know if it's fun to play though, so I may be wrong!

It's very clearly made for the kinds of situations where you pull up a tablet (or phone I guess) for three minutes to play something. It works, but hey.
I thought it was OK. I played it exclusively in the pooper tho, so it was more of a distraction while other stuff happened than a game I wanted to sit down and play on my own accord.

I loved it, but it has no place on PCs. It's a sub-par experience to what it's supposed to be. You can still get a lot of fun out of it, but...it shouldn't be on a PC like this.
I'm sorry I have an opinion? I'll keep in mind to shut up instead in the future.

Opinions can be wrong. You're absolutely entitled to your wrong opinion and you're under no obligation to change or even rethink it, but know: it's not a defense for an unfounded or otherwise poorly reasoned belief.
