Probably 0. While I really liked Oni back then, I'm not sure if it holds up that well these days. It was also an early PS2 port and with that not that great to look at.
Once I finish Alice: Madness Returns (such a beautiful game), I'll see if I can get back to Remember Me, because it gave me some of that Oni vibe.

Is there anyone else using beta that is getting weird computer freezes then a dialogue box popping up relating to Steam's account authorization? It's doing my nut in. It completely locks me out of my PC. I leave it for about 5 minutes then that Steam thing pops up so I'm guessing it's some sort of bug with beta that's causing some sort of CPU loophole thingymagigeriebob.
I need to hard reset my PC when it does it. Doesn't happen often though, maybe once per day or once every couple of days.

what if Remember Me 2 is an Oni crossover
What other Steam games have that same GitS vibe?
To me the game was a mediocre shooter with a bunch of extremely annoying moments, such as the
Greyson Academy
And yes, the ending plainly sucked. I don't know how much Leviathan changed things, but my experience with the vanilla game (plus From Ashes) is that it was awful. Came out of nowhere (not even a plot twist, but a sudden magical apparition), and it even contradicted some events from that same game.
It's not a terrible game, but I was left with a bad taste in my mouth. And I already knew the ending was terrible, because I played it a month after its release. Besides, I don't see why "going all Derricky" on a game is bad, provided you state your reasons for doing so (which he usually did).
The Art of Alice: Madness Returns is the one and only video game-related book I own, though having said that I wish Valve would occasionally have Raising the Bar republished for sale on its store.
Edit: I've just reminded myself that Valve pulled the plug on The Art of Portal 2.

Well, there's your problem.
Why not? This could be my chance of finishing the first level for the first time.
50% off ($3.49) for the next week.
Presumably this is the beginning of Interplay following in the footsteps of Squeenix, TopWare, and, to a lesser extent, Night Dive.

Thanks for the impressions on Jets 'N' Guns toddhunter, looks like a very nice shoot em up.
http://store.steampowered.com/app/262260
Some reviews are difficult to write and some are refreshingly easy. Often this is because the game is so terrible that it is easy to make a case about not buying it. For Jets'N'Guns Gold this task is even easier. You fly a jet, you have guns and the game is gold, so from step one you know pretty much everything you need to know.
Can't believe you didn't mention the awesome music ;___;
That is actually true, the only redeemable quality about ME is my femsheppard.
Also thanks for writeup about jets'nguns.
edited: btw, is issue with Oniken steam keys resolved?

To be honest, I very rarely notice the music in any game. Just not something that I pay much attention to.

I love how i'm in the 1% who didn't care at all about how the ending was handled.
Actually sort of liked how it was so vague and really didn't "pay off" at the end of it.

I played it on PS3 and it was fine. Even put a hundred hours into the multiplayer.
you probably just got used to 20fps on your laptop

The problem with ME3's ending is not the "vague" nature of it but how many plot holes it manages to stuff into 10 minutes. Not to mention how half the endings require you to play online to get points, as doing every single sidequest doesn't get you enough. Almost nothing about the game lines up with previous entries, and certain elements even manage to conflict with the ME2 dlc that had been released not too long before. Plus the game as a whole feels very rushed, with the sidequests in particular being poorly handled. When you're walking around the citadel you come across people talking and without even saying a word to them go and complete a fetch quest for them. It's absurd.
Despite all of that the game is still fun to go through, and has some really great moments. Just can't help but imagine how it might have turned out with an extra year in development and writers who didn't have memory loss.

When I say it is "gold" I mean of a very high quality provided you value a brand of pure and crazy fun. When I say crazy? Well I pretty much mean this:
Which isn't to say that getting blown up is all there is to it, because there is a surprising amount of depth and content here. Not only do you get a couple of hundred enemy types, but you also get a mini-store at the start of each level and plenty of upgrades and customisation options to sink your teeth into.
You will need all the help you can get too, because Jets'N'Guns Gold is hard...very hard. In fact there might be just too much going on at any one time to cope with. Inevitably, your first few flights will end in sudden and spectacular failure. But as you push forward you begin to learn the waves and rules of where to position yourself and progress is possible and hence very rewarding.
Taking a leaf out of games like Silkworm or UN Squadron, you will also get to take on ground targets with bombs and angled weapons. I always appreciate this in shooters to mix up the action and it gives you something to avoid flying into. When you couple this with the ability to gun down ejected pilots? You know you are in for a good time.
Will it be for everybody? Probably not, because there are some high demands on skill being asked for. But if you have played similar shooters on steam and want something just a little bit more insane with a bit more depth? Send a couple of bucks in this game's direction.
Thanks I've won this, gonna redeem soon.
They all had issues: popups, bad framerate, loading times, nobody cared.
Although that surprises me less, than most not caring about how bad gameplay is. Well maybe bad is a wrong word, bland is better.
And I also didn't care about ending, but I played with the ending patch, must be said.
nope, works now, but I had some minor problems with it earlier today.

Did you try the extended cut?
I think that's mostly because they've improved on controls and gunplay of the game, I didn't think it was spectacular, but it was serviceable, the standard usually isn't too high with shooters that are story driven.
I don't hate mass effect 3 though, I just stopped caring after 2, they were fun with great characters but I'm not really that emotionally invested into the series, I stopped playing because my ps3 phat died midway through the stupid game
The store seems to be loading just fine but I'm getting an error when trying to purchase:
"There seems to have been an error initializing or updating your transaction. Please wait a minute and try again or contact support for assistance."

Amazon.com has NBA 2K14 for 14,99 and the 5$ voucher for Editor's Choice still works, it shows me I can get it for 9,99. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00D93B5VI/
It isn't, like you said, provided you state your reasons.
It's just that I've seen too much of griping for griping's sake here.

I was getting that a couple of nights ago for a few hours, but it started working eventually (yesterday when I tried again).
I now own The Witcher, having completed TW2... my god TW1 reaaaaaallly makes you appreciate the quality of TW2's graphics
What, so if people make fun of you you get stuff for free? C'mon guys, I wanna be ridiculized too
I knew someone was gonna say this! I haven't finished my second playthrough of ME1, where I was rolling a full renegade FemShep, because I wanted to take her to lvl 60, and that would require 2 or 3 whole playthroughs. I started rushing through it, choosing every neutral dialogue option and skipping whatever I could skip, but that wasn't what I wanted to do. Maybe I should forget about the lvl 60 stuff, get this one over with and start my real renegade save.

Gotta do something ridiculous first. No repeats, so you can't show off your sexy desktop
I think we need a different acronym for Early Access. My brain automatically reads Electronic Arts and sends a shiver down my spine.
I fear for Mirror's Edge 2. I don't have too much faith in it.
Can I show my unsexy body?
You never said anything about phone wallpapers. Would that work?
what's the difference

Early access games get better.
ouch!
We can use NF (not Finnish for early access game, but then nobody would understand us either)
how about EAss
sorry, I just had to (><)
I'm not a fan of SteamDB's recent design update that shifted the history tab on app listings to the opposite side of the main content div regardless of how much space there is.
It's not functional. It's annoying.
PM'd.

I never read a review that made me buy something I had no interest in. This is the first one.
