Hahaha hey say what you want about Fish but Renaud Bédard did work on the game too. In fact reading about his torrid time whilst it was in development I feel the poor guy needs to get more recognition for the great work he did with the Trixle Engine.

I've only played Fez for about 3 hours so far, but I'm really enjoying it. It feels really cohesive and seems very polished. So far, I've only managed to get around 18 cubes, an artifact, and a handful of anticubes, but it sounds like it's going to get harder. There have been a few rooms that I couldn't figure out, but most of the time, it feels like I'm missing an item or ability that would let me interact with certain things.
That trailer is rough, but I thought this was funny: http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197997799539/recommended/265670/
Apparently, they intend to make user created stores a thing and to pay uses a share of the profits if a store gets used. Seems like crowd sourced curration. And an ideal time for a new client

This was my experience with the game as well. It was impossible to put the game down.
I never really hated Fish. Actually, I really really love some good trolling here and there. Also, his part in Indie Game The Movie was kinda moving. I started disliking him after playing Fez.
For the others: I love Notch but indeed I can't stand Blow (at least, according to what I saw in the movie) - and Braid too. He creeps me out I don't even know why. :'(
You're right and I'm perfectly fine with Bedard, and in fact I love everything "technical" regarding Fez.
But the very soul of the game pour out so much of Fish obnoxiousness, that to me feels more a one-man work with some (a lot) external tech support.

agreed. the map was pretty terribad
Oh dammit, I hope that bolded part isn't true. I can just tell then that I'm gonna be trying to solve puzzles that aren't solvable for hours before FINALLY getting through to one or two of them that allow me to unlock NG+... or something. Iunno, I just can't tell in Fez what I'm able to solve and what I'm unable to solve.
A friend gifted me Fez awhile back and I really tried to like it, I put a solid 6 hours into it and just dropped it cause I got fed up.
Then they added it to playfire many months later so I figured I'd go through again with a guide to see if I wasn't giving it enough of a chance but no, even with a guide I couldn't help but shake my head at the stuff this game expects of you as a player.
I decided to write an in-depth review last night for my steam pals.
Hard to levy criticism at something solely due to the difficulty or not understanding. They can be valid criticisms, but only if they make the product worse as a whole.
I don't really think that is the case here, especially as the base game isn't all that difficult. I have 28 cubes so far and haven't used a guide.
I'm speculating here, but it seems the difficulty would come in solving some of the more convoluted puzzles in NG+. Which may hang people up if they don't skip those sections during their first play.
I had a game called Stargate for the SNES as a kid, neigh on impossible levels of difficulty. I went back in middle school and beat the entire thing using save states. Now that is a game you can criticize for the difficulty, I highly doubt it would be possible to beat the game without using an emulator.
Not even worth the little bit of money for me, I think I will finish it and just be done.
Once you get used to the map it actually makes a lot of sense. Took me about 10 minutes to click, and now it is very simple for me to access the information I need.
My only complaint is finding areas again can be tricky.

I wanted to ask if he's at Ubisoft now, but went and checked and he's at Capy working on Below!
I see Knurek managed to get through Ravenholm
No more toxic headcrabs ever, right?
RIGHT?!
Fuck toxic headcrabs.
I didn't find Fez fun enough to play past the first half-hour so. To be fair, I played Super Paper Mario for a few hours at most. The dimension-change mechanic does nothing for me other than feed unwanted OCD. I could really only see collect-a-thon lovers truly loving the game.

Wouldn't you normally have to pre-order via Steam to get TF2 items?

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
Pretentious is kind of a funny insult because its use is kinda pretentious.

Below! is looking great so far from the stuff that came out of PAX. Granted I was sold at the top down Dark Souls vibe people having been going on about but it looks a lot more like an exploration kind of affair which is even better for me.
Managed to get a copy early on.. reminded me of when Don't Starve was 92% off or something ridiculous
Gotta love SteamGAF!

That's 10 minutes too much. If it doesn't click immediately it's bad.
I'm trying to play a game, not Google Maps.
sertopico has been posting some No One Lives Forever screens in the Screenshot Thread.
I thought some of you guys would like to see them as I know there are quite a few NOLF fans in the Steam GAF community.

Reply to this post with something hilarious. Funniest one after an hour or so gets Velocity Ultra.

I don't dislike FEZ, but I didn't like it much either. So many things are hidden from the player with very (or none) little clues.
La-Mulana is another puzzle game with some really weird puzzles, but I loved it. I really can't place my finger on what I didn't like much about FEZ.

Nice!
NOLF is my favorite shooter of all time. By a pretty wide margin.
Shame it's caught up in License Hell as I'd insta-buy a Steam copy.

Something like five weeks and counting for me. It's actually kind of a relief as now I have time to play all the games I was buying.

Building up a Garden Warfare tab atm, that was a nice boost.
Well, I don't care what environment something is made in, I'm saying that it looks and plays like something that would be rejected from Kongregate for being too rudimentary and crap.
This game is like the first thing you cobble together while learning Flash, GameMaker, an actual language or whatever it is you're doing. You don't go hard with getting it on Steam, getting it in bundles and apparently even renting a booth at PAX with your very first little project. These guys are not going to be around to make a sequel...

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.
Thanks everyone that entered my giveaway, and congrats to those that won!
There are still a few games up for grabs.
Keep being awesome, SteamGAF!

I'm uh... talking to people about NOLF. Trying to figure out how to resolve this situation. Not that I can do anything about it, but I am still trying to figure out just what's up and what needs to be done about it.
I've been posting screens of NOLF on Steam, using the terrible upload function. My game doesn't look that good. Clearly I need some mods.
My game doesn't look like that, though. The UI is different, for one thing. Nowhere near as crisp, either. Are there good UI/Texture mods for the first game?
no u
...yes u? I have no idea how this works. D:

Hat in Time alpha is out for backers? That is coming to Steam, but only just realized as a friend is streaming it. Any recent news on the product? This alpha could be old for all I know.
EDIT: Yup, alpha released late February apparently. Somehow this went completely by me. But there is a recent news thing of a new area shown off a week ago, so that's cool too. Anticipating this title.

Anyone can lip-read? Curious what the woman is saying there.
Awesome post, man. I especially agree with the bolded.
I've only played Saints Row 2 and 3 so far. I had a good time playing SR 3, don't get me wrong. But SR 2... SR 2 was magic. The story struck the perfect balance between the serious and the absurd, and I felt there were far more memorable moments in 2 than in 3. I know over-the-top outrageousness seems to have become the series' trademark as time's gone on, but I still hope
(probably in vain)
