Yeah, but it isn't actually showing anything? Nothing on hover, nothing on click.

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.
It's an Enhanced Steam feature, it should be showing this when hovering over:
There is a new update in the works (hopefully this week) that fixes a lot of bugs with this feature, this could be one of them.
The new update also lets users sort their wishlists by review scores, which I've been getting a lot of questions about.
I finished Xanadu Next, and can't say I "get it" really. It's OK but the first like 70% of the game is just stat checks for gameplay mostly, or the exact same tactics on every enemy / room. Later on there's a little more variance but I was pretty bored of the game at that point and just wanted to finish the story, which IMO was the best part.
Whole game just felt.... shallow. I probably wouldn't have even bothered finishing it if I hadn't cheated my way through the last hour or so. Almost every enemy is the same thing if you're playing melee, walk up -> sidestep attack -> swing twice -> sidestep -> swing twice, repeat until dead. The abilities were a little more interesting but required more micromanagement too because of elemental types, especially in the last dungeon. Maybe it's a game I would have enjoyed more when I had nothing to do BUT play games, but as it is I just don't really see the appeal

By the way, it has been quite a long time since the price comparison last worked adequately. Typically:
Me: "Wow, a good price for Ukulélé"

Nice! Dragon's Dogma has possibly the best character creator of any RPG I've played. Some guy on Reddit made a bunch of hilarious cosplays:

Masterworks all, you can't go wrong.
I solo for the most part.
The performance isn't great, but most 3D Early Access games are unoptimized as that occurs near the end of development.
It's fun fore, but ultimately it's a much product. The movement is based on millsim games so it can come off as clunky until you get the hang of it, and 99% of the players are designed to lose in any one game.
I don't know if footage will be conducive to showing off the game's merits, but it's huge on Twitch right now.
You can always just root and install your own OS, no need to be on the line with Customer Service indefinitely.
It was The Deer again lol

I read that Blackwoord Crossing, to be released on April 5th, might be less than 6 hours long for 2 playthroughs. Maybe 4 hours for the 1st playthrough, I don't have this info, just an assumption.
Thanks! 😘
Thanks! 😘
Wait, why is Hollow Knight no longer in contention for your GOTY?well thats Hollow Knight knocked off my GOTY spot. Oh well, he resisted 2 bombs but not 3
Btw the beta for Playerunknowns Battlegrounds really soured me and I liked H1Z1 more back in the day, but having followed it on Twitch the last couple of days my interest is coming back again. Especially now that I understand some of the mechanics more and how to really play it. Might bite on it soon.
Everyone in this thread probably has it in their libraries, but still to be mentioned: Payday 2 is free to play until April 12th (when community event ends).

Gal Gun is pretty fun tbh
Worth the $20 cost during sale. Animations during cutscenes are surprisingly good for something that appears so low budget
because I just finished Zelda and liked it more. The two "bombs" it survived before were Horizon and Nier.
THE FALL PART 2 TRAILER MEGATON HOLY SHIT

Definitely giving this a try, even if I wanted to play D1 first.
You definitely should play through D1+DLC. It's awesome.

Yeah. It's the principle of the thing for me. It's a lot cheaper else where.
yeah wasnt expecting that. Still hyped.
but the truth is that i'm only one girl.
the nier soundtrack is so good
yeah i love the character creator, best thing is that your weight/height actually affect gameplay, if you jump on a griffin with an overweight character it could barely fly lol

Obscure games 66% off is a all time low I think? Anyway time to finally grab 2 just for completion sake because I have the first nd its unlikely to be bundled.
Also Leap of Faith is 75% off and cools pretty cool.Although this one IS likely to be bundled.

Oh, just bought this on iPad the other day. Wishlist it on Steam though.
I think I'm also gonna go get the two Obscure games. I've always wanted them ever since they released on PS2.
Some noteworthy points from TB's steam talks at Valve, courtesy of @SteamSpy and @Totalbiscuit.
- So, according to @Totalbiscuit, Valve is going for crowdsourcing and algorithms to solve the discovery problem. As usual
- Players will opt-in to become Steam Explorers so they can buy and check out unsuccessful games. They'll have one free refund per week for it
- They'll get refunded even if they played for more than two hours, yes.
- Developers will be able to customize their Steam pages a bit more than they can now.
- Valve admits the existence of the problem of asset-flips and will address it with a combination of an algorithm, curators and user reviews
- Curators will be able to create collections of games to feature on their pages.
- Players will know why a game was recommended to them ("you play this genre", "your friends play it", "curators you follow like it")
- Curators will be able to see how many people discovered a game thanks to their recommendations.
- Curators will level-up and unlock various perks, including being included in a kind of @dodistribute key distribution list for developers
- The idea is that it will be easier for developers to send their review copies to influencers through a system built into Steam.
- It means no keys to resell on G2A, no hunting for email lists and every influencer now has to be a Steam Curator to receive review copies.
- To avoid being spammed, Steam Curators will be able to set tags for games they care about and for games they don't
- Players will be able to customize their Steam front page and block certain algorithms. Theoretically, you can have TB-recommended games only
- Valve doesn't want to curate the store, they want the community and curators to decide if a game is good and worthy being on Steam
- As for asset-flips, Valve will try to remove financial incentives for such games by moving them down in recommendation algorithm
- But Valve will NOT identify asset-flips, will NOT let users report them AND will NOT remove them from the store unless they break the law
- Valve doesn't want anyone to dictate what you can and cannot buy on Steam.
- TB also saw the support department in Valve's office. So they DO EXIST. Valve thinks gamers can refund if they have a bad experience

Hence why I hadn't gotten it yet :V
One could always buy it before the discount ends, and if it don't get bundled, redeem it or refund it before th 2 week limit.
Leap of Faith you mean?

YES
THANK YOU VALVE
Thank goodness they decided to just try and improve how and what's shown to users rather than curate out bad games ala Sterling's wishes.
Its a good game. Steam's version is just ugly. Make sure to mod it to make it a bit better if you get the Steam version.

I expect it is one of these four. To me, they all look like Humble Monthly games.
Why would they say anything that constrains them and does not bring them anything in return?

As much as I doubt Valve is doing what I'm thinking about here, I feel it's necessary to mention the naivety of this particular point. They could have temporarily assembled such a department for the sole purpose of showing it off.
Really good price, 5,09 for both is a steal. They even added achievements and xbox 360 gamepad support, it's not your typical "old game on steam" cash grab.

Unless my store page can be customized to very specific criteria - all new full games and expansions only, sorted newest to oldest by release, and nothing but this, Valve won't have gone far enough.
