im tired of all the grossgaters in this thread, leave your ethics out of my league of prettiness

What's a good, like, 5 hour game? I'm tag teaming Oblivion and Pillars of Eternity and I want to throw something in there that I will get to finish in the next month XD.
hmm, that's kind of difficult

i feel like all the non insanely huge games i've been playing lately are like in the 10 hour mark

SUPERHOT is the most innovative shooter i've played in years

I feel like I've heard that somewhere.

The Fall?

Already played, great game. Maybe I should finally bite the bullet and go back to Undertale since I saved right after what people say is the boring part. But I was kind of thinking something more actiony.

Gunpoint only takes like 3 or 4 hours.

Actually just look up some games from your library on http://howlongtobeat.com/

Ah, that's another one I half finished. I have been wanting someone to come up with a cross-reference between your library and howlongtobeat - that would be so good. I mean, the work must basically be done because there are those sites that will tell you how long it will take to finish your library.

Talking about short games, I'm too tired today to play anything, anybody knows any relaxing game that is not bad and I haven't played it yet?

Hoped there would be a Dark Souls II sale since III is coming out today... oh well, I'll continue with my DS1 playthrough until summer sale.

At least it's not gross.
who said it wasn't

It is ok game zky :p
it's terrible in almost every conceivable way

collectathon that is actually the game's main gameplay - check!
super predictable story with terrible plot twists - check!
poorly written fetch quests for unlikeable npcs - check!
offensive portrayals of gender violence and mental institutions - check!
insta-death stealth sections - check!
pointless poorly written audilogs - check!
backtracking in a linear game - check!

there's a good idea behind dapper ghost cop dude, but the execution is nothing like it

that game is a total nightmare
 
Is there a known issue where achievements don't register with some fix?

Two of the recent games I've played haven't popped achievements as I've earned them, one of them having its own in-game tally for achievements showing I earned them, but they don't show on Steam. In between those two games I did have a game pop an achievement properly. So it could just be luck of the draw that I'm playing games that have achievement issues. Specifically it's Tetrobot & Co. and Brushwood Buddies.

Not that achievements are a huge deal but it's still annoying since I do enjoy checking them out and now they're not coming along.

Also, today I hit 600 Steam games. Woo.

I dont know why I keep preloading when its faster for me to download games than it is for steam to decrypt them >_>

oh i know a short game

squarecells!

Eh, no puzzle games.

Murdered Soul Suspect is not bad game and it was in Humble Bundle.

i don't claim to know much in life but one thing i do know is that murdered soul suspect is a bad, bad, BAD game

BAD

I'm getting conflicting messages here.

You can beat a few Way of the Samurai 3 story paths in that time or less :)

I feel like this is a trap.

It's not a trap!

If you buy Way of the Samurai 3 then you won't need any other short game, because whenever you feel like beating one you can just fire up WotS 3 and beat another story path :)

Steamworld Dig, because I only played that and Tiny, and its the better game. Tiny is cute too, and very short, you can finish it in like 2 hours.

Not sure what's worse, people with free early copies already selling DS3 cards for like 1,50€ or people actually buying them at that price point heh

No way DS3 hits 200k. That is like Bethesda territory.

DS2 peak was 79k. As long as it does higher than that it will be good news.

Probably have to wait until the weekend to see the peak anyways. That is how it was with The Division which got 113k.

no one should buy WOTS 3 or 4

no one should buy anything until the summer sale, unless it is a new release you've been anticipating.
