I think the Steam Controller would be better than the stick part of a stick for fighting games, but I'd still rather have actual buttons on the right side.

Real pic January.

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.
Real Pic January, and yes this is actually me. Sadly I don't have Jason Momoa's figure.

So what's the consensus on The Banner Saga?

The removal of the touchscreen seems like a step back as a kb&m replacement. The ability to add more buttons with the screen really appealed to me.
Some of the Steam Machine 300 groups feedback has been quite encouraging but the press reviews have been a bit disappointing from what I've read. I'm sure it will be quite versatile but like any new input method it will take a bit of an adjustment period. As soon as I get my hands on one I'm going to be trying every thing as I don't exactly want 2,3 or more controllers kicking around.

Just wondering, why would you think that? I'm not anti the Steam Controller, but a fighting game seems like a really bad fit for it. With a fighting game stick you need precise access (often hitting moves with 1-3 frame timing) to eight cardinal directions as quick and accurate as possible. It's pretty much the most demanding genre when it comes to needing super fast and accurate digital (not analog) inputs.

So I beat Orcs Must Die 2 (with the Sorceress).
Great game. Now I've been playing the Endless Mode, which is very fun and challenging. I died on wave 38 on my first try. :'(

Check the OT. And if someone doesn't like the game he or she hasn't posted about it. I haven't read one negative opinion so far.

That doesn't seem right, lol.
Yeah happened to me too and I got 7 and 10. Hopefully it happens a few more times randomly and I can complete the badge!
That doesn't seem right, lol.
Can you sell them? PUT THEM AT A HIGH PRICE

I'm with you on this.
I saw some negative stuff in here about enemy variety lacking/being repetitive... but other than that, not much that I've come across.
Wait, why?

Glitch in the matrix.
Did you get just the notification or the cards as well? My last couple of purchases has said I had new inventory items but nothing showed up in my inventory.
They don't actually appear in my inventory. For a moment there I thought I was going to be rich

This happened to me and 2 of them were foils.
Based on what I've heard, the controller is insanely comfortable and has more usage than the console counterparts. Cant wait until I get my hands on one.
The day I finally install Chrome as a secondary browser draws near.

That must be what happened to me. I got a notification after buying a game that I had something new in my inventory. Went to the screen but it didn't load, refreshed and the notification was gone, nothing new in my inventory. It was probably another snow globe.
sorry, I only talk people INTO things. So buy it, do it, you know you want to.
Do it

Only two cars, afaik two tracks and a sandbox. I'll wait.
Nah, I've already given up any hopes of this thread going back to how it was before.
Too bad good things never last long, but oh well

Not really. Modern games tend to use the d-pad as (weapon select) buttons anyway - maybe 8 buttons instead?
I still think they should simultaneously support this and xinput compatible controller. Maybe make the Logitech F710 the official one.

If gaben really reads gaf then i hope he reads this.
I would like to have bigger icons in the steam game library list view [with icons enabled] Currently the icons are only 16px. There should be an option for bigger icons like 32px.
This is the current list view[with icons enabled]

This is a 32px icon that i think they should have an option for:

Valve please add this option.

Steam has a lot of games that don't fall into this "modern" category and could benefit from a solid dpad.

Yup like 2d sidescrollers,also the fighting genre.
He should be installing Sexy Beach 4.

Agreed. Which is why I think they should also support a (3rd party) 360 controller officially. Yes I know it works by default in most linux builds, but having a doc that says "We officially support the Logitech F310 and F710, and here's how to use it in Linux" would be beneficial.

They said other companies can make steam controllers so there may be variants with dpad or analogs, we shall see.
I hated uncharted 1 because:
- every ten feet it was more fucking shooting. it would have been better if i could have used the controller for everything, then just pop on my keyboard/mouse for actual aiming like i do in games like tomb raider, saints row, batman, just cause, etc. bad enough the shooting elements felt like they half assed them.
- not enough actual exploring and seeing of cool vistas. it was just LOOK AT THESE TREE ROOTS AND SHIT. OH and btw there's like ten items here that are really fucking hard to find because you either have to backtrack or they're hidden behind something that doesn't look like you could go there because everything looks like a fucking mush of everything else. Mind your eyes on the jaggies, they're ruthless
- story was retarded garbage, characters were retarded garbage
- not enough actual platforming elements
Tomb raider, after playing UC1, was like a breath of fresh air. It was what the older tomb raiders should have been like (more story driven, less finicky platforming trial and error, good weapons, and good graphics) with mechanics that were appealing from uncharted.

But you have the power of neogaf behind you. Surely that's gotta count for something. Believe.
