Interesting. I hope it ends up being an improvement.
(Oh god, I just noticed the new Steam taskbar icon and it's hideous. IT'S TRAPPED IN A BUBBLE WE NEED TO SAVE IT.)

Very nice giveaway!
Seeing Beat Hazard Ultra reminds me how annoyed I am with Spotify not allowing integration with music based games though, since I've moved all my music to them I really have no way to play those games anymore.

It's been a while since I played through, but I believe that represents a very small part of the game. Some are more 'plot devicy' than others, but I fail to see what the problem is.
My main beef with the game is the lack of heists and other than playing the stock market, there was really no way to gain enough money to buy real estate.
Chance Hale
Member
My one real complaint with the game is the real estate elements definitely don't have the same attention to detail as the rest of the game and feel quickly put together. Only a few of the fronts have real missions attached to them. I remember previews saying there wouldn't be a property system so it was definitely something put in towards the end of development.
Can't really speak about being able to earn money because I got lucky on the stock market with heist/lester money and made nearly a billion dollars.(320 Million with each character)

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.
Here are some screenshots I put together with the leaked CSS. You can make your own judgement calls.
That was the last drop that turned the bucket of complaints into a flood =p

I thought it was pretty insulting, disgusting, and frankly degrading that the game had the nerve to include missions at all. What kind of game doesn't respect the player enough that it feels it has to have a structure in order to have real progression.
This would be my ideal scenario as well but I just can't pay $60 for games anymore, no matter what platform they're on.
Maybe I'll get a U at the end of the gen when it's rock-bottom cheap.

And we're done talking, it seems.
If you missed the max payne sale, it's being repeated on GameFly.
Max Payne 3 is actually 80% off instead of 75% off like on the Steam store.

Finished Fez with 32 cubes.
Huh. Don't know if i like it enough to get over being annoyed by it. The map in the game is almost seizure-inducing terrible until you *get* it, and even then by the time it clicks with you you'll have an oh-shit moment where you realized that you missed like 3 doors five screens back and there isn't a quick way to get back there. This is hindered by stages that are predominately vertical in nature and you take fall damage, so if you want to go back those 5 screens i talked about earlier get ready to carefully drop down and take clunky jumps back only to find an eight of a cube or a sweet key that you already have 3 of.
besides that, it hides its depth with some kinda-clever, kinda-bullshit riddle nonsense that makes Silent Hill 2 look like a 4 word crossword puzzle. I get it, and i would probably dig it more if i was 13 with the feeling of infinite time ahead of me to sit there and puzzle it over. Unfortunately, not only don't i have time for that but i also kinda don't care. I liked the puzzle stuff like positioning blocks on a 2d plane but that in reality are being set into 3d coordinates, trying as i could to get the tetris pieces to match up. But when you want me to get paper out and decipher codes and whatnot, eh, i have to say that i'm not feeling it.
As far as the positives go: the game looks great, but it especially looked good on the vita. The 2d-yet-3d visuals look really nice, and there's a charm to it that really takes you back. Also, even though jumping feels kinda mushy, the layout of some of the stages takes me back to SNES and Genesis days where you had to plan out your approach to a stage a couple of steps in advance.
I enjoyed most of my time with Fez, and it's much easier for me to write about the aspects that frustrated me than what i enjoyed. In reality, it felt like a mixed bag where the mix itself was mostly positive. i give it a LRLLLLRRRLRRRRL out of 5.

The "Games that let you play your own music" thread makes me hope that Steamworks games will support this in the future. I bet there's some legal mumbo-jumbo preventing it from happening but still.
Is this as good as Garshasp or only as good as God of War 3?

Black and blue, huh? It's like someone beat Steam up... probably that bully, Origin.
I guess you could say Origin taught Steam a thing or two.
So, because "Metal Gear Rising Revengeance" wasn't Region Locked even if the Nuuvem Size said otherwise, what's the deal with the "Metro: Last Light Complete Edition"? Is "REGION LOCKED: Esse conteúdo só poderá ser jogado no Brasil" also false information or the real deal?

Idling CS:GO is taking forever. I've been running idlemaster for over 3 hours without getting another card. The first card dropped after 20 minutes or so.

...it may be 35 cents more but it's $1.24 well spent.
So far liking the flatter design

Think the servers are taking a hammering due to it being a major tournament on CS:GO. I know it's the steam item servers that dictate drops but I can imagine them having a lot of load.

Sweet, im at 75% completion (22 cubes) started collecting blue cubes (currently just have 2 with 1 artifact) on PS4. i kinda agree with map part, its confusing and very hard to remember wrap doors.

Damn, that's a pretty good deal(for the complete edition, that is). Thanks for posting it. Bought it
About the Region locked thing, i believe in this case it's probably true, seeing Deep Silver does that a lot. So if you're not from brazil, i wouldn't risk it, Unless SteamDB says otherwise.

A bit late but on consoles.
It's clear all three of them have compelling games and features. Yes, one has the most power and one is the weakest. But I urge you to remember when this was not the case. Wouldn't it be wicked crazy if two consoles had the same "power"?
There are games on all three which I'd love to play. Never had a Nintendo Console, so with a WiiU I'd be able to play Wii games as well. Don't know any titles besides galaxy and xenosaga but I reckon there are plenty games which I'll like. Also never played any Zelda game. On the newer one ZombiU, X look awesome.
Xbox is the weakest one for me. No, not because of the weaker HW. The games. So far I am only interested in Quantum Break. Halo is coming I hope, so I'll leave that out. Sunset or Gears doesn't appeal to me.
Sony has stellar first/second party offerings. Spent some time with PS3 and great games like Uncharted, Killzone, Demon's Souls etc. and I have to say, it's likely I'll get a PS4 first before a WiiU once the price drops.
It's a matter of taste, where your friends are mostly etc. imo. All consoles are great in my eyes. There's not much mistakes to be made, all of them are plenty able to deliver enjoyable times.
Of course all this is from the point of a PC gamer. Those opinions I have are with a PC for all multiplats in mind Console only would not be good enough for me.

Also I'm really liking the new steam design, though I do hope the color scheme can be changed like a few other people suggested. A deeper blue/purple would be a lot more soothing to my eyes than the shade of blue they chose.

Yep looks familiar.
I actually got a few of their large-format artwork prints from DOTA 2 the last time I was there. I had them framed up and they're currently in my man cave.
Valve is a really cool place, the video doesn't even really do it justice.

Would be cooler with you working there though. It's surprises and saddens me when i read they still didnt hire you :/Yep looks familiar.

Yeah I'm pretty much on the same boat. I don't mind the one time cost of the console but the game pricing is what keeps me away from a Wii U. I don't mind waiting for price drops, but Nintendo games rarely drop significantly. And I can't even get Wii games like Xenoblade or The Last Story for cheap. If Nintendo had a digital store where I could get good deals on older games (see
SN) I'd definitely buy one.On the other hand, I'm considering a PS3 this holiday, mainly for all the remake goodness.
I was wondering why the client looked different when I looked at it quickly earlier today at home after it restarted. I liked what I saw but didn't have time to mess with it. Cool to know more changes are coming, even if the design will probably need to be tweaked here and there.

I wish. Azure Striker: Gunvolt looks so much better than Mighty Number 9. I'm honestly considering picking it up when it releases on the 3DS.
Its really impressive how much the community has grown
I played a lot of CS with some buddys in school more ten years ago, but stopped and never looked back. Today is the first day I actually think of starting to play again - Status
