I don't understand this. Whenever I look at a free to play game, it shows that the number of friends who "own" it is one less than the number of people on my friends list.

Does this mean that there's someone with a non-premium account on there? If so, I can't figure out who it is.

 

[MMBosstones86]

Are you using a calculator?

If so, use the Enhanced Steam chrome addon, it's much more accurate because it tallies the totals from your account.

just includes purchases made through steam though. if you bought through a different retailer (amazon, gmg, gog, etc.), its omitted from the total.

 

[Sarcasm]

Steam enhanced doesn't work work for me even after giving it permission to work.

What to do?

 

[n8]

I know that some people mentioned it, so I'll play the same tune: Serious Sam Double D is pretty good. An hour in myself, so nearly half way through if how long to beat is any indication. It's got some jank, but nothing really enough to elude the gameplay.

Play it if you got it.

 

[JohnDonut]

Well yeah. Do you expect it to mind read?

A calculator just shows the current value of the games.

 

[Stallion Free]

I finished it, didn't really like it. Probably because I didn't get into the story at all and hence was just going through the motions and fighting the controls and collision detection the whole time.

I can see the appeal, heck I enjoy trial and error games like Boshy, but I wouldn't call it flawless at all.

I will be interested to see if they expand on the game with a more interesting and polished sequel.

Sounds like you weren't very good at the game. I don't fight controls. They seem to do exactly as I say.

teleport and destroy the guns, once they are down its a pretty easy fight

That is

until you fight it again and the same tactic no longer works because you face a new threat of drone attacks.

This is not what I wanted.

 

[esai]

Definitely. I'm playing through the first one right now and really like it. Combat is maybe a little basic but the world is really interesting. I would imagine you would get a lot more out of the second having played through the first.

thanks. ill wait till the first one goes on sale.

was trying to give a reason why there would be a difference between using a calculator and enhanced steam

Steam's getting annoying lately. Half the time I try to load the store or a community section it takes forever and when I bought Euro Truck 2 just now it didn't even show up in my library until I restarted my whole PC. Fix this shit Gaben!

Seriously.

The people that voted it through greenlight and the people responding to their friends' positive feedback?

Look, I get where some of you are coming from: I ask myself the same questions every time someone buys a Serious Sam game.

The only difference is that I have played the Serious Sam games and know they are shit. You are basing your opinion of Euro Truck from nothing or opinions so weak they might as well be nothing.

 

[JaseC]

The Anno 2070 Pack not including the DDE strikes me as rather stupid.

I also thought it was funny (well scammy actually) that the "Anno 2070 DLC Complete Pack" does not in fact include the Deep Oceans DLC.

 

[Glass Rebel]

morningbus, did you work on Comfy Sim 2?

 

[JaseC]

I also thought it was funny (well scammy actually) that the "Anno 2070 DLC Complete Pack" does not in fact include the Deep Oceans DLC.

Yeah, and it's not the only example of a so-called "complete" collection missing content. How hard is it to remove the "complete" from the title if you're going to delay or forgo entirely the inclusion of some content?

 

[SteveWinwood]

20 bucks is still too much to put up with the shit drm. Go fuck yourself Ubisoft.

 

[morningbus]

morningbus, did you work on Comfy Sim 2?

No, just a clairvoyant that can see through the obvious miasma that is Valve's heavy handed control over Greenlight.

I can see all possibilities and know that there is simply no way someone could have voted for Euro Truck and not my copyright infringing One-Piece tower defense game.

It is simply impossible.

Therefore, Gabe himself must be tampering with the results of Greenlight, then further tampering with the top seller's list in a single-minded focus to drive me mad and cloud my ethereal vision of what is yet to be.

Once they are done, once my mind has been rendered and razed, they will announce Half-Life 3. Even now, I peer into the future and it is like walking through spider webs, my temporal self flailing, trying to swat away at something I can not see, small glimpses of a future I should but won't be truly present for.

This is your bastard god. This is your Steam Greenlight.

 

[Glass Rebel]

damn, did it have some metroidvania gameplay as well? plz link, I'll hit up RPS

I'm close to creaming my pants, now you just need to confirm that it has retro pixel-graphics with a lot of heart.

I did a couple hours ago.

And it's fucking awesome. It has a surprising amount of polish. You can tell it was a labor of love.

Let us throw our experience of Serious Sam into the ring and have a go.

I'm not being serious, I'm just havin a go. Serious Sam is seriously awesome in my opinion tho.

 

[Derrick01]

I just did about an hour ago. Haven't been able to play it yet but I am really looking forward to it. I don't know why people think this is some shovelware game, it's not. I urge people to check out at least a little of the 2 hour giant bomb quick look.

 

[Chanser]

The quick look made it look decent.

Interestingly enough, I don't think there is a single complaint you can make against the core gameplay of Euro Truck that couldn't also be applied to Serious Sam.

Spoiler

mainly because you haven't played Eurotruck. BOOM.

I find it odd that people are fine with putting up with some jank in Euro RPGs and the like, but in a goofy truck sim? Ewww, get that shit outta here!

I'll get ETS2 when it's $10 or less. I just wish that I still had my 360 racing wheel to enjoy it all the more .

I'm unfamiliar with them, what's the story? Is this a shady organization?

 

[toddhunter]

Sounds like you weren't very good at the game. I don't fight controls. They seem to do exactly as I say.

Hmm, not sure exactly where you are going with that. I'm sure people who enjoy it will learn to be able to play Hotline Miami extremely well. I don't think not reaching that ideal state fundamentally changes somebodies personal experience with it when they have completed it.

What he's saying is that Hotline Miami controls really well, and I agree with him.

Plently of games have clunky controls, Hotline Miami isn't one of them.

That is fine and I'm sure lots of people, probably a large majority would also agree.

But I found the combination of moving and aiming using the mouse frustrating when coupled with the collision detection and close in view. I'd be surprised if everybody found that flawless beyond a very high level of mastery. Even then I suggest that is working around technical limitations rather then reaching some level where suddenly enjoyment was possible. There just isn't a hidden depth that is only exposed to top level players.

In other words, I'm suggesting it is possible for somebody to not like the game. This is just as I don't like driving games but I can get around the track just fine. It has nothing to do with my "skill" or lack thereof.

Anyone else having issues installing games right after you activated a product key? It doesn't show up in my library either unless I restart Steam. So not that big of a deal, but it's a bit annoying. Imagine it might be restricted to people using the beta client though.

Anyway, have some keys, if you could be cool enough to see if you have the same problem.

I clicked on Omerta - City of Gangsters, figuring it would be some MMO, but it actually looks pretty cool. Sim, turn-based tactical stuff, campaign plus multiplayer plus co-op? It's apparently made by the Tropico team, and I guess I completely overlooked it.

It's coming out on January 31.
