I'm guessing that most of that comparison footage there is 2033 vs. 2033 Redux? I haven't heard much about what is new in LL Redux, so I might just grab 2033 Redux for now and see what exactly is up with the redux version of sequel. Last I heard it was just some small minor improvements and maybe the extra non-Ranger gameplay modes versus the huge engine changes for 2033.
I'm not sure either, unless he felt it would cut down on possible complaints in user reviews while he worked on getting it fixed. (Always did think it sucked that reviews citing problems that had long since been fixed could "stick" on a review indefinitely with enough upvotes.) Hopefully he gets things sorted soon, because I was enjoying it with a gamepad, and I'm not a big fan of playing platformers with the keyboard.

Wait, what?
Not so big like those and wasn't really an announcement, but XSEED also said a couple days ago that The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky was their most successful launch on PC, and added the following:
So, more JRPG love on Steam/PC soon too
GOG is a proper noun, but we've been shortening it from what is should be
the REAL term is "GOG.com game"
Merriam-Webster are word terrorists. I tell you hwat. English language is screwed when we start accepting this chicanery.

yes ... Activision will soon announce Sierra coming back ... as another CoD map-making studio
imagine how funny that would be
(and by "funny" I mean "fuck you, Activision!!!")
I will fight against the change to the word "literally" to my last breath.

But you can unlock the DLC for free by pressing Alt + X at the age verification screen.

they will have a plethora of hats for the dog, though
as DLC, naturally
I know it's not really steam-related, but ....
Not sure if there's a specific incident people are referencing, but I know I hate people using "literally" as an intensifier ("That game is literally the worst thing in the world!")
this thread is moving too slow
well thats new

I'm interested in getting 2033 Redux but is it really a huge improvement worth $12.50? I haven't played through the original version yet, but I do own it already.
Most people are just thinking about getting 2033 Redux. Wait and see approach on Last Light Redux.
A lot of people use literally to describe things that are in no way, shape, or form literal, because they don't understand the meaning of words. Dictionaries were updated to reflect the actual usage of the word, however incorrect it is, and somewhat recently this update made the news. Now people use this to justify "see, I told you literally didn't mean literally".
No! I understand that dictionaries cover a variety of slang terms and misused words, because they document the way language is used. And many words we use today are corruptions of their original usage. That doesn't mean we should throw up our hands and say "fuck it, I guess all words now mean the opposite of what they are supposed to mean." You can still use words the right way to preserve their meaning, even if there are people out there who do not do so.
Edit: I'll also fight anyone who says "I could care less." Word Crimes are serious business.
There are mulltiple storylines and endings and shit.

There's a story mode.
I haven't bought any games in a long while. Maybe I own all the worthwhile ones now?
I was wondering the same thing

I am completely with you in this battle.
The part where it starts to become tricky is the friends that seem to use literally wrong even when they know they're wrong, like they're trolling.
An eagerly awaited death brah
It has a limited number of endings, some clearly intended to be successful and some failures.

I just hope this turns out be real. Love FPS, never played Halo.
Games loosing exclusivity and being able to be enjoyed by more people is always welcomed.
It's really a great time to be PC player and Steam adds much to this. I like the community features like Cards, Market, Activity Feed etc.
More and more it doesn't make sense to me to get Consoles besides exclusives.
Being able to put the money that would be spent otherwise in console+software into PC hardware+software while knowing you're not missing much on the console end is liberating.
Only those Japanese games won't come to Steam easily, hah.
Wait, what? Are we living on Bizarro world now? I understand language is a fluid, living thing, but we really need to have some constants. Words not acquiring the opposite of their original meaning because people are too ignorant to use them properly is probably a good place to start. >_<
there are many endings based on your choices and they're all awesome

Yay , managed to beat the boss in One Way Heroics
It wasn't awesome when my neigbors ratted me out to the police after I took a bribe from that group (and then never let any of their members in... suckers) and I got arrested.
y u do disThat happens to me with Eidolon, it's bizarre. :|

well u know the music and funny pictures and just overall unceremoniously cutscenes are just adorable
Improperly configured installscript.vdf file. Just delete it -- it'll be in the game's redist folder.

I've had surprisingly adult interaction in casual. There's an air of meme humor hanging around, but mostly the little kid trash talk gets called out expediently. There's not much recourse for that, either, since it's mostly hollow and dimwitted commentary. "Commentary" used in the loosest sense.
I get a ton of laughs out of casual. There are some quick-witted, snappy people running around there. With a tendency of dropping out of quiet or the above-mentioned servers, which you can mostly pick up on within a single round, it feels pretty good to lock into a relaxing and sometimes dumb group of rounds.
I plan on moving the ole PC back into the office and out of couch-comfort zone here shortly, so feel free to add me up. I can't play that game with a controller and a couch. That goes for anyone else who is down for some casual playing.

OK, but why are people saying GOG is redundant?
it used to stand for Good Old Games before they changed their name to GOG, removing the acronym
Sadly, this does appear to be the darkest timeline. I understand the merit of documenting slang usage, but this is a step too far.

So as not to be completely off topic, I picked up Metro 2033 for cheap during the Steam sale for the expressed purpose of getting 50% off 2033 Redux. I'll probably wait for the next Steam sale to pick up Last Light, and hopefully people will have impressions by then as to whether it's worth paying more for the upgrade. Although, I hope they don't intentionally refuse to put Last Light vanilla on sale in order to force people to buy copies of Last Light Redux.
