Thank you guys
On to something a bit more on topic. Have anyone tried Marvel Heroes? The free to play game. How is it?
I know I hardly post in the Steam threads, but I wanted to add my and my wife's well wishes.
Back on topic, I really liked Marvel Heroes. While I haven't played in awhile, I never felt like it was play to win and the starting characters seemed pretty viable for the end game stuff. The only reason I ever stopped was because I got sucked into Guild Wars 2.

I harbor hatred for every single person in here who hyped Volgarr the Viking up, this game unearthed 'gaming rage' I had not experienced since I was a child. It's so debilitating to the ego and soul I now play in turns with friends or I'll snap. Almost broke a controller.
Dark Souls has also felt like this at times.
But goddamit I will beat Volgarr. I'm just waiting for that Metal Slug moment of zen coordination.
Edit: MRORANGE > us.

Shadownet, I'm really sorry this happened to you. You're a great guy and everyone here loves you. I'm positive you'll pull through this like a champ, and you have my best wishes. Hopefully, I can catch you tonight on Steam.
A little over 6 hours left.

Pretty much.

Maybe they decided to fix that once their site stopped getting hammered. Who knows? I did it like 5+ hours ago. You can look through the pages and see it was a problem.
Great giveaway!
God damn do I love Volgarr, good luck dude. I'm only like the 4th or 5th level, but man is it such a fun challenging game. Reminds me alot of an old game called Rastan!

Do you know if Shovel Knight is as hard? Or Rogue Legacy? I'm wary...
Rogue Legacy can be challenging at times, but I wouldn't call it hard because you can always just grind levels to overcome any difficulty you have. It's a really fun game though.
Those remix bosses can be super tough though, but they are purely optional.

Rogue legacy is difficult at first but gets easier as you go on. Shovel Knight isn't too bad, there's a couple parts that take some practice but nothing major.
Shovel Knight isn't hard at all really if you use the checkpoints that they give you. Rogue Legacy is tough, but it gets easier overtime due to how the game works.
meh

This thread is about STEAM, not wifus, anime or that shit, MR Orange makes this OT's for STEAM, he puts a huge amount of time into it and people should respect why it was created.We should keep on topic as much as possible, it's the reason I stay out of this place alot of the time, it's always off topic about random shit and isn't safe for work at all.

Shovel Knight is my summer jam.
Thank you! I'de love to play the game. Looks awesome!

Thank you all for your replies, two more to the wish list.
Rogue Legacy is more annoying than "hard". Well I guess you could call it hard but not in a way I find enjoyable.
Shovel Knight is just right when it comes to difficulty. Few cheap places where you can die a lot there and there but otherwise it's all good. Interested to see how Volgarr is one of these days.
What's so NSFW about this thread? Beyond that we're really at a point where people whining about the thread is just as annoying as the posts they complain about. Maybe a better way to "improve" this thread would be to contribute in a way that you find fitting rather than coming with these drive-by "oh yeah this is exactly why I don't visit this thread anymore" posts. They're just worthless.
Good.....Good......Let the hate flow!
I never got past the second level.

Since I got Fuzz'd with Payday 2, are any of the DLC packs must-haves? I've got enough on-hand to get either Big Bank Heist or 2 of the older ones/weapon packs.
Cool, I was looking at that one just because Heat is a fuckawesome movie.
When I asked that last time someone said Armored Transport offers the best bang for buck. Can't verify for myself though.

I've been playing without DLC and having a great time. I'd say to hold off until the next sale or if you play some and are just dying for DLC.

Yup, I'm with Mr. Orange on this one. This place is seems more off-topic than on most of the time, I wouldn't have an issue if it was in the Community section and let's face this place is community formed around Steam. I get it. However, it's daunting and a little off putting for people who aren't part of that clique/community to get involved or to find information they're looking for.
We seem to have this discussion at least once a month, for the last 8 months. Nothing ever changes. So it's either working, or people have just gave up hoping for an improvement.
Who are you to suggest that those posts are worthless? It's another user's opinion on the Steam thread and how they don't enjoy visiting as much as they once did due to the direction it's taken. That's not worthless at all. This always seems to happen when someone raises their opinion about the off-topic/content within the Steam thread - the 'regulars' rally around and pick off the 'dissenters'.
Would it be possible to create a 'Steam/Games Only' steam thread?

Volgarr is much harder than Shovel Knight & Rogue Legacy. It requires very precise movements.

I got the site blocked from work because of those fox girl pics. There's no way to contribute when the conversation at hand isn't even about steam or games on steam. Imagine a Halo OT or Uncharted OT being like this.
IMHO, Armored Transport (if you're the one hosting the game) and one of the two (Shotgun or Sniper, depending which one you like more, snipers are more effective against special enemies). Big bank is good, but not worth 7. Better wait when it goes on sale.
Oh boy. Guess I am off to bed.
Wait for a sale, last time it was some 80% off and you don't need the DLC to play the maps as long as someone who DOES have it is hosting.
Seems like a good place to ask, The Swapper is coming to PS4, I know it's already on Steam, how is it?
Do you recommend it?
Are the puzzles too difficult? How would you rate the puzzle's difficulty- more or less than Portal 2?
I don't want to buy the game and use the guide half of the time

It also worked for Quantum Rush Online (304890), which is only available in a few regions at the moment.Seems like a good place to ask, The Swapper is coming to PS4, I know it's already on Steam, how is it?

It's fantastic and there's only a few headscratchers where you'll want to use a guide.
In my case GAF got blocked at work, then unblocked without reason but I don't browse at work any more.
Still, if I got caught looking at some of the pictures on this thread I'd be pinged for it. At least with "normal" gaming stuff I would just about be able to explain it away.
Anyway, Rogue Legacy is an interesting form of hard. Usually games like that annoy the hell out of me, but I liked the sense of progression so stuck with it. I can see why it can be highly frustrating.
NG+, fuck me the difficulty spike
Edit: Got that DLH thingy working before realising I own the games involved m(Well, the standard not gold version of East India Company), oops.

Yeah it's great. I didn't find the puzzles too hard. In fact I think they were just the right difficulty. About the same level as Portal 2 I think. There's plenty of clever puzzles. I had to refer to guide once.
It also has great atmosphere and quite unique game I think. Playing with clones is just fun.
You mean sakura spirit? That's a steam game you know
I'm pretty sure you should have images disabled when you're surfing gaf at work anyway
Oh wow, I was going by current trade prices, but seeing those sale prices yeah I'll wait. That Cobra Commander mask was tempting tho. Thanks everyone for the input.

Dayz is still a mess, can't believe how bad the development for that game is, rather then focus on getting it to the mod's level of polish (which is pretty low) they add in new features that don't work properly.
Does the game get harder? i'm currently near the volcano.
I'm enjoying volgarr it kicks my ass.
This top ten makes me pretty happy.
