The people working at Valve are smart (some of the best) but I think they have a problem interacting with and getting to know their customers.

Yeah, both this and the greenlight thing seem to show that they aren't really prepared for their customers to abuse their systems.

I'm actually not even sure it is a bad thing that they actually have faith in us to behave better than we end up doing (certainly, it is better than most other companies that assume we are thieves and villains first).

I'm calling it quits with Bridge Constructor, but what an experience. For a cheap port of an ios game, I've gotten more out of it then I could have ever dreamed.

If it's ever a dollar, buy it.

Duly noted for future sales.

Isn't Rome II a total mess and Company of Heroes II laden with free-to-play-esque IAP? I had a friend warn me off of CoH II during the winter sale and this was someone who spent a lot of time with the original, mostly in multiplayer.

 

[KenOD]

Rome II has received several patches and is quite solid now as a title.

A question for those who know Steam coding and tricks better than I. Is there a way to add something to a wishlist other than directly clicking on the "Add to your wishlist" on the client or website? I ask specifically because no matter what I do, I can't actually add "The Dream Machine: Chapter 4" to my wishlist that way. Always just "oops, sorry".

This is fucking amazing. You may have sold me on the game, you know. For $5 I'd love to have Space Jam: The Game.

There's a distinct lack of Bill Murray in that mod.

Without getting into the code itself, usually "oops, sorry" means either

a) Valve has blocked people from adding this to their wishlist (unlikely) or
b) The form on that page is using the wrong App ID (most likely) or
c) It's listed in the database as a "package" containing more than one app, which results in a).

This one looks like it's actually a) for some reason.

I am not sure what to make of this. The thing was posted on the Steam Discussion: http://pastebin.com/jq1FB2CW

Adfly links? I don't think so.

 

[jaundicejuice]

That's good to hear.

The thing I don't like about the CoH II DLC is that not all of it is listed on the main store page. It's possible to find these multiple DLC packs (commander packs and skins) but you have to search for "COH 2" to find it all, it doesn't show up under a "Company of Heroes 2" search.

http://store.steampowered.com/search/?snr=1_5_9__12&term=COH+2

It's disingenuous. It's roughly 50$ of DLC on the first page of the search results alone and there are four pages, none of which is listed on the main store page.

Yeah that just sounds like some bullshit to me.

Resident Evil 4 and South Park are both paid off.

Now that Castlevania is off my list, that just leaves Thief. I hope I can get it for under £20.

Looking over it I'm betting it's an incorrect App ID. I believe it's failing because has it links toward http://steamdb.info/app/93304/ as opposed to http://steamdb.info/app/94304/

I'll just have to write it down somewhere to remind myself to buy it later.

One thing you can try - if you're logged in to Steam in your browser - is clicking this link:

EDIT: Nope, that doesn't work either

 

[The_Monk]

Quite the nice write-up my friend, you've convinced me to buy it... someday. I got the original off PS+ some time ago, but I couldn't play very long because I just wasn't a fan of the controls of (designed for PSP, played on PS3), but you've convinced me to give it another try since mouse and keyboard exists as an option.

Thanks KenOD I'm hoping you can find the controller better this time around.

Thanks for the review. Its great to see new people trying it who never previously played the Playstation versions.

Indeed, I have never tried to Vita version so it was fun trying it for the first time.

Thanks. Really glad you liked it so much

Also thanks to everyone on here (lurkers included) who helped on the beta. I think we doubled the number of beta testers after I posted in here so it did make a big difference and we really appreciated it.

Thank you! You let me know if there's anything else or I can help you with. I'll be more than happy to provide any help.

Always get a bit paranoid with hack news, even If they are bullshit :/

He is in the mod! I did a stream earlier with the mod if anyone wants to check it out

Any further info on that hack rumour? I know people are saying bullshit but I'd rather be safe than sorry.

While reviewing my Steam screenshot, I discovered this. It's actually really funny if you look at it closely.

YESSS! Thank you thank you thank you! Classic. Fantastic.

I have more origin games than I thought.

Thank you KarmaCow for Sideway New York.

One?

Are most of them Sims 3 expansions?

how's dead state? surely one of you bought it.

 

[Momentary]

Should I give up hope on Castlevania being good? Man with what's been said so far it looks like Yaiba might turn out to have a better score.

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

Buggy. Currently, undead party members go invisible and you can't click on them to attack.

 

[Rhaknar]

You mean the second or the first one?

 

[DukeBobby]

I've given up hope. The demo wasn't great, and it looks to be even more of a bloated mess than the original.

Did you play the demo?

 

[def sim]

How many is that exactly?

I'm at nine games. Nearly doubly digits!

Are most of them Sims 3 expansions?

No, I'm not much of a Sims fans past building houses.

 

[Momentary]

Did you play the demo?

Yeah. It seems pretty decent. That's why I'm so taken aback by the reviews. I'm just wondering what the hell is in the full game to leave them with such a bad taste in their mouths. I'm still going to pick the game up, but these recent reviews have shifted my hype from this game to Yaiba now which already looks like the superior character action game in my opinion.

 

[Rhaknar]

So are all reviews shitting on the game? I only saw the game informer one

Out of...5?

Spoiler

I know it's out of 10

Is The Witcher series a weekend deal? It's 80% off here.

 

[jaundicejuice]

The Castlevania: Lord of Shadows 2 demo featured a section from the game that the reviews I've seen have no problem with, the parts of the game that are like the first. The issue seems to be with the sections of the game set in the present day.
