Ok, this is kind of making me crazy.

I've installed Steam on plenty of different OS and PC over the years, some with system language in Italian, some other in English.
Occasionally, in the Steam client chat (but IIRC even in some other place I can't remember right now), when I focus on the input field, a little "IT" tooltip appears in the top right corner:

You probably have two (or more) typing languages/types of keyboard installed on Windows. I, for instance, have Brazilian Portuguese and Japanese on my computer, so that's there.

It shoudl also be on windows bar, by your docked applications, by the clock.

Left Shift+Left Alt will cycle through them on any focused application.

I'd say you'll have to remove the different languages/keyboard inputs that you don't use in Windows.

I've been playing a bunch Demon's Souls lately, and boy I really dislike DualShock3. Especially those LR2 buttons, they are so shitty.

Can't wait for DkS2 on PC and playing it on 360 pad again.

 

[topyy]

well...shit. Heres some stuff from it anyway:

thanks for Skyward Collapse.

Any word on one way heroics key from indieroyale, will they be ready for launch?

I hate the thumbsticks almost as much as the R2L2.

I would be impressed if they somehow made it feel worse.

 

[corrosivefrost]

Guacamelee is going to make me destroy my keyboard because of all the rage the Inferno challenges give me. That fucking challenge number 9...

Which one is 9 again?
Also -- keyboard -- yup, that'd do it. :lol

Probably one of the reasons the Souls series doesn't review to their potential.

Now that the series has become a phenomenon, reviewers will probably go into Dark Souls II from a different perspective.

I dunno about that. I don't think most reviewers are serious gamers who like things that might be challenging. So unless Dark Souls II has a baby mode and a bunch of tutorial sections, I think most professional reviewers will give it the "it's challenging but rewarding, if you like that sort of thing."

I hate the thumbsticks almost as much as the R2L2.

The analog sticks on the 360 pad aren't much better... at least not on a *NEW* 360 pad. I traded my old ones in to GS a few months back and I hate using the one I kept because everything is so hard/rough.

And when the only good thing the 360 controller has going for it is the RT/LT and analog sticks (once worn in a bit), that's not a good place to start for me. Add in a pair of $5 real triggers for a DS3 and it's leaps and bounds over a 360 controller for me.

You should check out a DS4 and see if you like it; but only if you're using the 360 controller because "it's better than the alternative".

Oh come on they could have kept it like the DS3 like the DS2. I enjoy the thumb sticks and the triggers, they feel comfortable.

 

[The Red Wizard]

I finished Guacamelee this evening and it is absolutely superb. The combat system is wonderful and it makes trying to string together huge combos a lot of fun. The platforming is tricky enough to present a big challenge at times but the retry system maintains the fast flow of the game, despite numerous failed attempts at jumping. The visuals and music deliver the game in an incredible way and make the whole adventure one of the best I've ever played.

[Almighty]

The triggers on the DS3 were terrible I have no idea what Sony was thinking with them. Everything else was fine though. Still the DS4 is better then the DS3 in every way.

It's not false though

Guys, does any of you have an extra DLC for Electronic Super Joy? I'm willing to make a trade or gift you another game in exchange.

I completely missed the previous sale (Jan 20, -80% off) and right now the DLC alone stands at $6.99, which is just outrageous.

Please let me know via PM. Thank you SteamGAF!

Saw some one else in thread do this and since I know nobody else who wants this I will give it here:

Yeah the Old Gods start can be brutal. Especially if you live on the coast. Though if you play as Norse it is fun looting, pillaging, and conquering, but man do I hate gavelkind.



Finally someone else who knows the greatness that is CKII Here's my play time

So close to breaking 500.

I still have no idea how to play CK2.

I'm loving this sudden Guacamelee spree and having great fun watching all those screenshots that show up at my Friends Activity stream. Memes everywhere!

And yes, it totally deserves the praise.

 

[Parsnip]

Have you guys felt the Dual Shock 4? It feels so much better than the Dual Shock 3.

I haven't.
It looks better, less hard edges every where.
So if nothing else, it's probably more comfortable to hold at least.

Places like GameStop and BestBuy have demo units, next time you're around one you should feel it. It also works with the PS3 as long as you have it plugged in.

Pretty sure Guerrilla is getting GFWL removed soon.

I believe it's been confirmed Gorilla's getting GFWL removed in the future.

thanks for the extra key!

"Gorilla" -_-

Red Faction: Gorilla "Starring Clayton from the Tarzan series!"

Fighting for banana freedom on Mars.

 

[Spring-Loaded]

I believe it's been confirmed Gorilla's getting GFWL removed in the future.

oh okay

so if I buy this right now, it won't lose multiplayer functionality when gfwl goes away, or something?

"Gorilla" -_-

 

[More_Badass]

Red Faction Guerrilla. Still the most satisfying destruction in any game

 

[Levyne]

I have Armageddon sitting unplayed in my library but I hear it's not nearly as good :/

 

[Lunaniem]

oh okay

so if I buy this right now, it won't lose multiplayer functionality when gfwl goes away, or something?

Multiplayer isn't certain, if they are smart, they would do it like Bioshock 2 and use Steamworks for MP.

 

[FiveElementNinja]

Well that just made my day. Thanks.

Cloudbuilt has a page and what a reminder on how beautiful this game is:

It's better because it doesn't waste your time with the most pointless/poorly used open world ever.

I still have no idea how to play CK2.

Every time I think I have mastered it the game kicks me in the face. Still when there is a lull in new releases back to CKII I go.
