loving Rogue Legacy on the Vita
the game gets better and better
the controls are PERFECT
I really wish that Steam hardware push had been for a SteamBoy instead of SteamBoxes. The boxes don't really do much for me, I can build a PC and use big picture mode just fine. But a handheld device where games on steam could have a set hardware point to aim for (as long as they fit the bill, just give them a SteamBoy certified tag) and I could play some of my library on the go would have been incredible. Although I guess that is pretty much what a Vita is turning into, I'll have to pick one up a some point.
I wonder if it will become a paid expansion at that time, or completely disappear.

They should have made it a limited time free DLC for the main game. :/

Yeah, that's what I was hoping when I found out about it, I guess there are licensing issues. Hopefully they can integrate them eventually.

you should be fine if you move your steamapps library to another drive
remember to use GameSave Manager or something like that for your saves though

I haven't been captivated by what I've seen so far but I hope it's great because the concept is sound and it seems like it'd be a whole lot of fun with friends. Have to wait and see, though.

I'm all giddy about the REmake HD port. Can't wait to find what's the high praise all about. Never played RE1 or REmake before.

I played it down and PAX, and i actually pre-ordered it right after playing. It totally is a multi-player game, and well i'm not quite sure its going to be as good as L4D, it played super well for an early build, and the concept is brilliant. It plays a lot better then it looks, basically.
You can't remove the new device cooldown by adding and verifying a new payment method; the two are distinct. Are you sure you're barred from the market, though? I moved my Steam installation to another drive when my Steam drive died and didn't have any issues.
Go have a play around and see for yourself. I got 3200x1800 working and that's above the point of what the sprites are drawn at but at 2560x1440 there was a marketed increase in definition on the whole image that you wouldn't get by stretching it. Also bear in mind my monitor displays 2560x1440 native so if that was stretching the image the results at 1920x1080 would look close to the same as inputting a higher resolution value. The difference is bloody night and day and no way looks like an image that has been distorted by stretching it.
Rayman Origins for example has backdrops drawn exactly at 1920x1080 and no matter what resolution you input you gain no more detail. Battleblock Theatre is exactly the same and at a crazy 4800x2700 looked no better than a 1920x1080 image. Transistor is not like those examples at all, exactly the same as Bastion they offer better clarity at higher resolutions than what they offer.
Thanks! I wish all games used CloudSave so this wouldn't be a problem. :X

It was high on my list, even if it was multi only, because of the unbelievably cool pixelart animation... until rhaknar informed me that it's "local mp" only. If that's the case, the game went from "will buy sometime, maybe" to "nope, not worth my $".
Awesome.
Yup.
I *still* hate clowns... pretty sure it's mostly because of this.
Thanks!
I have a subscription for it in my account page like most of the other F2P games... it's listed as Complimentary, but I'm given the option to remove it if I want. Seems like any other F2P that counts as a +1 lately.
meh

It's all about parity with the console experience.
Unless I've missed something, platforms for Rogue haven't been confirmed yet. The Facebook page that "leaked" screenshots of the trailer is run by fans, so I wouldn't place much stock in it mentioning the PC.

Shit, I've got a 660. You think it's gonna run that bad? I'm counting on it lasting me at least another year.
Thanks! Crazy cheap compared to EU price.
Depots / languages in the same package is good, right? Master Frost, can you confirm?
My brother would then have his birthday present I guess ;D

Hmm..Think I'm going to have to get Broforce now.
Expendabros is a pretty damn nice demo.
Expendabros is a pretty damn nice demo.
Some impressions for Detective Case and Clown Bot in Murder in the Hotel Lisbon:
The music: Is great. It's got some cool tunes, some dramatic, but most whimsical to indicate comedy relief. And you know what kind of impressions you're in for when I start by telling you how good the music is. But I wanted to start on a positive note.
The graphics: Loads of style. Characters range from short and dumpy to a tall-and-thin reminiscent of an exaggerated Jessica Rabbit. If any game is going to exaggerate facial and bodily features, it should be a point-and-click, but part of me says it went a bit too far. Objects of note are very easy to spot, as they get illuminated by a thick white border when you mouseover them.
The dialogue: I give the dialogue three "ugh"s. I seriously can't tell whether the jokes were intended to be funny, or intended to be unfunny. A lot of Clown Bot's jokes are the kind you heard in junior high or earlier, and some seem out of place in 2014. Yes, I was probably in grade 6 or 7 when I heard "What do you call a gay guy on a plane? A fruit fly!" But again, is this appropriate? Furthermore, was this supposed to be funny, or was it supposed to be terrible? My opinion is that they tried to sit on the fence. Found it funny? Great, it was supposed to be! Found it unfunny? Great, it was supposed to be!
Oh, and don't forget the spelling errors. "Why was six afrain of seven?" I get that the developers didn't have English as their first language, but that means it's extra important to make sure you're doing it right, gentlemen.
The gameplay: Don't expect to use objects in the conventional way. Items aren't used: they're collected for evidence. When you have the right objects, you can enter an interview minigame with a character. It was an interesting concept. It could have been executed better with choices that don't make it obvious which one is correct. But points for trying something new.
Walking is quite slow indeed. But wait! There are taxis that allow you instant transportation, so it's not so bad! But wait again! If you never use that convenient item, you get an achievement! Developers, why do you do this? If you don't want us to use it, don't put it in. There's also an achievement for fucking up every interview minigame. Why are you rewarding failure?
Edit: Forgot to mention there are a few sidequests. I tried to finish one halfway through the game but they railroaded me into finishing the main quest and forbade me from finishing the sidequest. I hate that! However, they do allow you to finish sidequests after the main quest is done for some post-game content. So that was good.
Finally, there's a separate minigame where you choose the correct punchlines to jokes within a time limit, and collect roses for correct punchlines or dodge tomatoes for incorrect ones. For more achievments you can get a high score (not too tough to achieve) or get 32 correct punchlines in a row (pretty bad.) It gets pretty tedious, but thankfully it's not required at any point during the game.
The verdict: I really wanted to like this game. It does a few things right, and of course there's a shoutout to GAF in it. But when it comes to the so-called "humour" and the general gameplay, it gets so many things wrong. If you're not a fan of point-and-clicks, don't get it. If you're a fan of point-and-clicks, consider carefully whether you really want to try this one...but I still wouldn't recommend it. I'm sorry.
Interesting points.
It's worth noting that opinions on our game are either "love it" or "hate it". I had people hating the music and loving the jokes, the opposite of what you felt. Some people felt we should punish more on the interviews, others loved the easy going nature of them. It was hard to fine tune when testing the interview system. Almost all reviews on Steam are positive.
Some answers:
- This is a satire of my country in the 80's (Portugal). Some things are lost in translation.
- The robot is incapable of understanding if a joke is good or bad, he just tells them.
- Achievements are suppose to be just that, you achieved something and we reward it. In the case of a stupid game, they tend to be stupid as well.
It's a universal sub, yes.
Edit: 8 keys may not suffice given keys are currently selling for USD$2.41. 8.5 or even 9 is more likely unless people still have stock left over from the Summer Sale. $16 via PayPal certainly wouldn't cover the cost of a new copy given 599 Russiabucks is about $16.60.
It's just laziness. No real excuse.
It's sad when it's up to customers to fix a developers shitty port.
You can play against bots and the developers are claiming that they put a lot of effort into the AI to make it challenging. I felt robbed after buying Nidhogg and Samurai Gunn but this game looks to be fun even if you play SP.
Ubisoft is notorious for terribly unoptimized PC ports. I thought that Watch_Dogs would be different due to the new console architecture being closer to PCs but nope, they hit an all time low with that port. Unity will most likely be a mess as well.
It will come to PC. The question is if it will release along with the last gen versions or come out together with the inevitable current gen ports.
Great, thanks.
I'm enjoying Lili quite a bit, not sure where the negative hype earlier in the thread came from. It's a simplistic late 90's era fetch quest adventure game with very cute graphics, what's not to like? It's a little rough around the edges and sloppy, like I don't know how high their level designer was when he planted so many flowers and pots inside walls and shit but I do know I want to know his dealer because that's some good shit, but it's highly playable and charming.
Looks to be about 3-4 hours long if you're somewhat thorough, though I do find it annoying that it has hysterical achievements that there's no way you're going to reach without 10 hours of grinding (like "break 1000 pots" when the natural gameplay only has you breaking about 200 of them at the very most). Would've liked to add this to my 'perfect game' pile, but that shit ain't happening.

Whoever on the Expendables team is in charge of games this time around sure knows what they're doing compared to the dude who got the EX2 game made. Last guy hired some junk studio to rush out a junk game with a stupidly high price, new guy picked the absolutely most perfect game and made sure to make it free to pump up the hype levels.

Gonna try to grind out the last playfire reward in Dead Island 1 (reach level 50)
Only 30 levels to go. =/

the game is already up on amazon... however only the xb360 and ps3 versions are. so its possible that the PC release would not be together with previous gen versions

Oo, work day can't be over soon enough.
Aww, I bought some keys for dispenser.tf because I have no willpower and can't wait for The Banner Saga to go on sale, but the website doesn't work for me.
Are you signed in with your Steam account? What's wrong?
Yeah, the game can be pretty weird. Just go with the flow and enjoy the craziness. But you can ignore most of it if you don't like it, though.

it is currently 4.5 keys to 5 keys on tf2 outpost. the lowest the game have gotten on steam is $12.49 so technically it is already at the discounted price

edit: even drops to 4 keys.
I'm a doofus -- my Steam inventory wasn't set to public so it was going mad!
I just picked it up for 4 keys, what a steal! \o/

Make sure you didn't use the same password anywhere else and if you did, change those too.
