Yeah, it's not possible for every game on GMG

They even admit the offer is not as compelling for people with the DLC, and said they understand people voting with their wallet.
Also I would point out it's not just animations/difficulty modes, the engine has been improved and they've added tessellation along with global illumination. So while it might not be enough to justify the $12.50 price for some people it's not just a couple quick tweaks.

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.
Some of my "go to" games right now for quick sessions are
- Prime World: Defenders (tower defense where a match takes between 5-10 minutes)
- The Treasures of Montezuma 4 (Bejeweled-like puzzle game)
- Magic 2014 (CCG. I don't recommend 2015 but 2014 is pretty awesome)
- One Finger Death Punch (hard to explain but you can get in some good gaming in 5-10 minutes or less)

2033 wasn't very well-optimized at release, but I played around with the settings for a while and was able to find a mix of good visuals with consistent performance (I think I had a 460 1gb/i5 when it came out, but I could be wrong). Last Light on the other hand ran fantastically at near max settings on my upper mid-end rig.
I am fine with the upgrade price they are charging. I paid 15$ and got both.

I appreciate them being up front but that doesn't make it less shitty of a business practice. Okay, maybe slightly less shitty. But still shitty. I mean Square Enix was more generous with their Deus Ex discounts and that had some actual changes to the game.

No challenges for any of the new characters in SFU4 is pretty weak. Was it just too much work or something to tell me some combos to do .

Yeah, I was hoping the trials would be ready in time for the physical and PC release, guess not.
At this stage, since the game has edition select they should throw in the Vanilla, Super, and Ultra trials.
Wow. People defending Metro 2033's poor performance problems. It's kind of infamous for them. This isn't a case of "lol get better specs" it's a case of the devs making a game that was poorly optimized.
Grats if you never had problems with it, but you shouldn't dismiss other peoples' issues just because you didn't have any.
Basically my opinion as well. But people shouldn't sweep the optimization problems under the rug.
Great atmosphere though.

I wouldn't be surprised if Capcom barely has a Fighting Game team. Also, challenges usually come with pretty shitty combos anyway. It's better to check youtube for combos.

Something else to note is that Capcom still couldn't be arsed to add cutscenes for the AE or Ultra character's rival battles in arcade mode. :/

Hmm that is true.
Yeah was playing poison and got to my rival rolento. Was wondering if i had missed something since it just went straight to the fight.

2033 has issues but LL runs fine for the vast majority, haven't heard of any widespread complaints. And seeing that 2033 seems to be almost a complete remake I think it's reasonable to ask for a few bucks. A lot of people got it in bundles or very cheap over the years anyway.
Also if your PC overheats something is wrong with its cooling as that should never happen, no matter what you throw at it. Maybe the CPU/GPU clock rates get throttled more often than you think and in other games too.

There is unique voice acting during the fights like the Vanilla and Super characters have, so it's not like they didn't put any thought into the newbies. It's weird.
Yeah, we were just lamenting that.or trials
GPU overheat.
Haha, what I wouldn't do for a second chance. "Buy The Golden Compass and three spares threreof -- trust me."

Then the airflow in the case isn't good enough or the GPU cooler is undersized. Overheating is never the software's fault, a solidly built PC has to be able to deal with everything. Exceptions are notebooks or people living in the desert.

Gigabyte GTX 670 Windforce. The game suddenly ran hot. Hotter than any other game I've ever played on this rig, then. I'm tired. I'll just assume blame for everything in my life.

Starcraft II: Wings of Liberty.
You dont know what you are talking about. Gonna quote someone else:
Smoke was also downgraded a ton from 2033 to last light.

Played a bit of Rise of Incarnates.
Think i'll just stick with Anarchy Regins. The system in RoI is just really weird and feels off to me. The combat is far too floaty for my tastes.

Just trying to help. If you had issues there maybe other games aren't always running as good as they could too. Fact is that while Metro has high demands it should run reasonably well on solid PC.
Googled it and sure, some bugs/oversights can cause unnecessary heat, meaning a loud PC as a result. But I wouldn't trust one that totally breaks down, no matter what.
Can't remember any throtteling when I used it years ago but of course the fans ramped up a lot, just like when I use tools to test the stability of my CPU after overclocking. Or like some games make my PS3/4 become a lot louder. Still I expect gaming hardware to be able to deal with it. Not 24/7 but from time to time.

That's not true at all, software can cause overheating, remember furmark? That software that made nvidia and amd throttle GPUs whenever it was detected. Not all load is equal.
There's probably a more technical way to describe it but I'm tired and out of my depth.

I played a little bit too. Is there anything else similar on steam?

I'm not alone! I wonder how much of the 18.9% played less than 1 hour and 27.6% played 1-10 hours is just idling.

Not that I know of off the top of my head.

The blue hue on the new client looks really bad.
That's actually an interesing question given the relative recency of trading cards -- the system is not much more than a year old. I can say with confidence that if it weren't for trading cards, at least 95% if my library would be untouched, but I'm also acutelt aware that I'm an outlier.
One Way Heroics is also simply a well made game. It looks good and it plays well. For such a game, similar to Binding of Isaac or Spelunky, that's critical.
And it's an RPG. So if you like watching numbers, there's that.
The trading cards are nice though in that it lets me try out the games I wouldn't normally try out. Most of the time before Idol Master I give most of the games I idled for a little bit of a try just to see what the game is about. Main reason I used to like the achievement metagame during the big sales long ago, lets you test out games you normally wouldn't have played.
Better than CA2? Okay so I might need to watch it then. Captain America 2 has some really well done fight scenes
I bet that definitely has something to do with it!

Been on a roll the last few days. 100%ed Goat Sim, Whispering Willows, Wolf Among Us, The Room and Time Mysteries, got all I'll ever get out of Killer is Dead, Octodad and Lili. Next is Stacking. Or Remember Me. Something not too difficult.

I still have the old client. Is the blue-hued one something you have to download separately, or is it just coming piecemeal to people?
