I can't emphasize its weirdness enough. Seriously its cutscenes are a trainwreck. There's been two live action ones so far that drag far too long, and they are awfully directed and acted, and the jokes all fell flat.
Like I said, the character action style gameplay is the only part I really like, the rest is dull, which is weird because it was in development for so long.
if its shitty why do you want it?

Wow.
Origin numbers are fudged. Although, your Steam numbers are really low. How do they compare to your advertised speeds?
It really is going significantly faster than anything I've downloaded from Steam, though. I struggle to hit 1 mb/s with Steam, despite having a better connection than that. My download speeds are still rough, but not <1 mb/s rough.
Titanfall is up to 4 gbs after about 25 minutes of downloading. With Steam or Uplay, that would've taken a couple hours.
Fudged numbers or no, I have to say that downloading through Origin is typically faster than Steam for me, too. (Not that either is terribly slow.) That is something I have to give them credit for.

Ever tried changing your main download server to something closer?

Or further away, just try different ones.
And I'm hitting my max speed (3 Megabytes/s) with all three most of the time.
Speaking of shitty games, you still need to play all of those Nancy Drew games I bought you a few years ago

Origin always surpasses my advertised speeds. 50Mb advertised, but in Origin I get 120Mb.

I think it's also measuring your disk copy rate or something. I always keep track with a bandwidth meter, and Steam is just way more consistent than Origin.
Played LTTQ for a while today. Had two playthroughs, and I met my demise in both. In terms of learning skills, it seems to be about learning the right things at the right time. If you don't have a high enough skill when you need it, it can result in your death. So it is quite tricky to get right. I quite enjoy taking part in this trial of error in decision making, as the choice you make really do make a difference, but I can see why it may not be for everyone. Definitely worth the sale price for me.

I totally missed that DUST is now out for Mac and Linux as well, that's pretty cool!
First time I got to the temple it was a dark level and I had only 1 heart left. I really don't know how I got to the second level (where I got killed by the same thing that killed you, but horizzontally instead :'( ).

They've got a point there, why write that and then try to take down the video? Let's see where this goes but I actually don't trust TB any more than any random game company I've never heard of before.
fake or not, I smell a shitstorm of epic proportions brewing...

And here I thought I was going to have a boring weekend. This should prove fun to watch as it plays out.

Couldn't someone pretend being FUN Creators on YT, make them remove the video and then send a fake email to TB?
https://twitter.com/Totalbiscuit/status/434471932147556352 is it, basically.
This broke not an hour ago and is still developing into internet drama.

Mind if I make a thread about this?
Be my guest, if nobody else has done one already.
Have you tried the 3rd person camera? I found it to be much easier that way.
I guess it could be possible, especially considering that Google could be kinda sloppy when it comes to check if the request is true.
But then again, if random people get to file patents faking being some huge well-known company, why not this?
That email does look fake. Who in their right mind writes this way? And then there's the matter of a font change halfway through and that Steam discussion thread. I'm on the developer's side here.
Try not to be too sensationalistic if you do. Someone might get a wrong idea.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
Enhanced Steam for Google Chrome has been updated to version 5.9. The change log for this version includes:
- Added a link on user profiles to their wishlist
- Added back the achievement section to app pages that Valve mysteriously removed
- Added sorting options to achievement pages, and the ability to sort by date unlocked
- Added option to hide all Early Access games on the homepage and search results
- Added badge completion and value of card drops to badges page based on avg card price
- Added badge page sorting option to sort by highest estimated drop value
- Added Enhanced Steam features to Steam Tag pages
- Fixed a bug that caused hiding DLC for unowned games not to work under certain circumstances
- Fixed homepage "Featured" section being incorrectly sized due to layout changes
Amazing, as always.
Did you fix the recommendations thing (on the for you page, recommendations don't have the yes/no icons) in Enhanced Steam?
If not, consider it a feature suggestion

Thanks! It wasn't fixed in this version, but I did notice this yesterday.
I'll look into it.
