Yeah, they updated it when In-Home streaming came out. So you can basically log into all your computers at the same time.
...Now if there was only a way to get the categories to sync as well...
Ahhh that explains it.
I guess I should probably actually try the beta that I signed up for at some point.

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 has been updated for Opera 12 users to version 1.3. This new version incorporates a few new features from the Chrome version, as well as fixes a bug that caused highlighting to previously stop working.
You can download Enhanced Steam for Opera 12 directly from Opera, or it should update automatically if you had a previous version installed.
As always, let me know if you encounter any bugs with this release.

They didn't for Okami HD IIRC, so...
It starts very slow, but that's not Okami's problem, I want to love this game, I really do, it seems like almost an ideal game, I just can't finish it, or it's too long, or too repetitive (I mean combat mostly), don't know for sure what's wrong with, but something is off. I've played original, dropped near the middle, played HD on PSN, dropped in second half and couldn't force myself to finish it.
It looks adorable, and it has so much things to do, lots of collectibles, some minigames, bunch of sidequests, painting skills are to die for. If it were to come to steam, I probably would try to play it again. It just not possible to hate it really. (><)
edited: may be too much of backtracking makes it not as fun as it has right to be.

You can skip it in the Wii version, IIRC
Can I just say that I fucking love that the PC is a giant catch all of every non-exclusive game to ever exist?
You want to go back and play games from whenever? GOG has you covered.
Want to play everything else with better performance? Steam
oh and by the way even the games that you would have thought would have stayed on console and mobile platforms those are on Steam too.
basically there isn't a reason to play games on anything other than a pc.
my stupid ps3 is collecting dust. I really want to play the last of us and demon souls but damn son the pc gaming experience is just too good.

That past year has been really flipping great for Steam releases. I've been meaning to play LoU as well, but can't even be bothered to turn on the PS3 since GTA5.
same story here, I only bought the ps3 to play gta5.
I grabbed ps+ back when it was 30 dollars and I've played brothers for free. I also have ICO and shadow of the colossus hd to play but I can't seem to drum up the interest.
lol @ that grenade comparison
I looked up the how long to beat for Okami and I could not believe how long that game is.
Exactly! We can run games from any era, after the cobsoles have been long dead. It actually pains me when a multiplatform game isn't on PC.
And they, usually, scale forward with technology. Higher resolutions, frame rates, etc.
Not to mention we have more exclusives than the consoles, and with indie gaming exploding, we have more than ever before.
Dat grenade.
Damn, what a tease to include those Okami ones... I'd shit myself with a Steam release, it's probably my favorite PS2 game.

At the rate things are going I:
-won't ever buy a vita
-will buy a WiiU later this year since GF will use it too
-buy a PS4 in like 3 years when it has like 10 exclusives I want (if it can even reach that number by then)
Literally 90% of my 360 is Halo + Gears of War due to the ridiculous slew of late ports replacing 360 versions.

When I saw the estimated 40-60 hours to platinum I just started laughing. Still, if I can plow through Kingdoms of Generic Amalur to eventually 100%, I can handle Okami.
I've been meaning to sell mine. I haven't touched it since Gears 3 released.

Gears Judgement was a better campaign than 2/3 in my book. Worth checking out the next time it hits 15$ for sure. Gears 1 has one of the best TPS campaigns ever though. Beat that shit like 4-5 times which is one of the highest completion rates for me ever.
It's good zone out/listen to music material. I did the same for Fable 3.

If these previews don't sell you on Cloudbuilt, nothing will

It's at least shorter than Ni No Kuni, the other infamous 'please make it stop'-RPG.
I played through Judgement with a mate a few months ago or so and didn't care much for it, really. I haven't actually finished 3 as I found it be a rather dull experience solo, but there's no need for me to hang on to my X360 when I can just co-op the game at a mate's place if I ever develop the desire.
I was pimping cloudbuilt yesterday. It looks really great but it has the poor timing of dropping in march.
my life belongs to dark souls 2 that month.
My first gen 360 is now so worthless I'm not even going to bother trying to sell it, even though I only used it to play like, 5 games. I'll just move it to my museum of consoles I almost never played.
Gears Judgement was made by the People Can Fly fellas, who also made Bulletstorm, so if you haven't played that, go do so.
I'm still partway through Gears 2. Playing on an SDTV just makes everything less enjoyable, so I haven't got around to finishing.

It's probably dead anyway, 95% of all launch 360s are. And goddamn were these things loud, I bought one, played GTA4 and The Darkness 1 (so good) and sold it right away.

I have and I love it. I think PCF has shown tremendous growth since making the best Serious Sam game you can make (Painkiller).
Judging from a cursory glance on eBay I should be able to flog the lot off for $150~$200 (I have around 20 games I can include with the console itself). I'll probably just list it locally first, though, to avoid having to juggle postage costs.
Oh mine's still alive (it hasn't even been used what, 50 hours I think, after all), but yeah, the fact that it's a jet engine even when doing pretty much nothing didn't really make me want to play games on it.
Wow, yeah, no.
I can get maybe half that, making it really not worth it.

I still don't understand the appeal of OlliOlli to begin with, let alone the desire to play it on PC. It seems more suited to a handheld than the big screen to me.
I still regret purchasing it. I'm not sure why I thought I could handle the gibberish. I will never buy Okami again unless it has the option Tearaway has for turning off the voices only without killing the rest of the sound effects.
That's great, but it doesn't remove the gibberish from the game.
It's 3 games stitched together.
My 360 collects dust. My gold sub has lapsed. The only reason I would boot it previously was for Netflix, but now that I have no gold, it's basically sitting there in case I ever want to play Rockband or one of the few XBLA games that haven't made it to PC yet... which is never, considering I'm always playing Vita/PC.
Vita is great in terms of portability and content. Having mobile Spelunky makes it worth the purchase price on it's own, not to mention stuff like TxK, Hotline Miami, etc. It's really an amazing little system.
As far as PS4 goes, I'm with you... I'll let my PS+ accumulate a ton of PS4 content and wait for a price drop & redesign while the exclusives pile up.
Yeah, I always found that annoying... Especially when it "ends" the 2nd time...

You should get a Vita.

I could never drop console or portable gaming. Just because japan still hasn't gotten their act together about releasing PC versions. Though we are closer than ever before at this point.
I was thinking about it since I have ps+ and it would be nice to play something waiting for class to start.
but honestly I think I'm better off buying a decent-good laptop and gaming on that between work and school.

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.
I have both a Vita and a 3DS XL. Both systems are great, and both have a good library of great games (though I would argue that the 3DS library is quite a bit better since it also plays DS games).
But then again, I also have an Xbox 360, PS3, and Wii U. While not exactly "collecting dust", my kids usually play on them far more than I do. I'm usually on the PC.

Any reason why? Barring Uncharted there are pretty much zero exclusives that interest me on the platform and a lot that did are moving to PC (Ass Creed, Batman, Olli Olli). Sony doesn't seem to be putting many studios on it either.
I get far more mileage out of my iPad and it actually probably has more exclusives that interest me too.
Vita has pretty much the entire PS1 and PSP library (or at least, it does for us Euros), making it >>>>>>>>>>>>> a 3DS

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
With each day I become more and more convinced that the Vita is just a pyramid scheme and everyone who recommends one is doing so because they've been told it's their only way out of this hole.

I'd agree with you, if I could take my PS1 discs and put them into my Vita and play them.
I wish they would too. I'm honestly about to be unemployed.

Vita changed my life, man. Let it change yours too.

That was quite easy to do with PSP, guess they plugged that hole in Vita?
