The Steam equivalent of the drunk friend who keeps offering to pay your tab all night.
Yes and it's canon
He also might not be dead

Seperate ways is concurrent with RE4 correct? basically tou play out the shit she was doing in between showing up to Leon?

If I sent a key to modbot for a giveaway but forgot to type my rules, can I just resend it now with the rules?

yes it updates
 
I'm happy, I hope it's smooth sailing for Larian from now on, free to do their own things, no more publisher bullshit.
Tizoc just shot himself in the foot.

I don't know how much the rest of you know about SteamGaf culture (I'm an expert), but gaming talk and playing video games are huge parts of it. It's not like it is in AnimeGaf where you can become successful by posting about Waifus. If you post a single anime waifu image, you bring shame to yourself and the rest of steamgaf, and the only way to get rid of that shame is repentance.

What this means is steamgaf, after hearing about this, are going to make 3 pages of posts about how terrible off topic talks are, nor will they post about games ever again. This is HUGE. You can laugh all you want, but Tizoc has fucked up the entire thread with his move.

Tizoc, publicly apologize and post a giveaway or you can kiss this thread goodbye.

You'll just receive an error stating that the key is already in an existing giveaway but has been repurposed for the new one as it's unclaimed.

So I beat Risk of Rain the other day... I didn't really like it that much. The initial characters you start off as aren't really fun at all (commando, enforcer)... After I unlocked Acrid, I just stuck to using him exclusively. All the characters are really slow though, it made exploring the maps tedious. That your money didn't carry over to the next level also didn't help matters, since you'd have to backtrack to chests and waste even more time. I really hate random generation, but that at least was okay in this game, since it only really affect the gate and some geography. The actual levels themselves were always the same, with only a few permutations of layouts.

The thing that bugged me the most was enemy spawning. Frequently, so many enemies would appear and cause the frame rate to plummet. For example, after activating the gate, I usually stuck around to one area to make sure all the enemies wouldn't spawn all over the map and make me waste my time to track them down, but then I'd get like 40-50 enemies in one spot and my fps would drop to the 20s. Heaven forbid if you had a ghost ability on, too. It's not even as if combat was fun, either (it was just okay), so I don't understand the point of doing that. On the subject of combat, bosses were alright I guess. Cremator was the worst though.

So yeah, overall I didn't have much fun. Sort of disappointing, but whatever. On to the next game.

interesting you'd put 8 over 7

i like both games but 8 had too much story nonsense in it for me and characters weren't my favorites ('cept laguna!).

both games are great tho

8 has Triple Triad though.

Yes, and it's mostly just levels you've already played, but from different angles with Ada.
 
Really? its that good? i have it, just haven't play it yet.

About to start checking out the Daud DLC for Dishonored, I'm guessing I should be starting with Knife of Dunwall?

Got the humble bundle, this is my only extra. This has been gifted and bought too many times, so lurkers allowed :)

OMG I love you for this! Always wanted to see what the fuss of these "improved" boss fights were about and all the new additions, but 15$ in the bundle was a bit too much considering I had everything else in that top tier. Thanks so much for the chance!
 
If you like JRPGs the game is quite good. The story on the other hand...

I played it on a console, so they may have fixed a lot of the BS game systems that made the game one of the worst I've ever played. Chief among them was the whole "if you grind to level up, you'll actually be making the game more difficult, with no way to revert the difficulty".

Not to mention that the story was a mess, art direction was a bit generic for a jRPG and the only thing it really had going for it was the battle system, which was ruined by the whole "no grinding" thing.

Yeah, Knife then Witches. I prefer the former's rumoured title, "The Other Side of the Coin"; it's more fitting, alluding not only to the fact you play Daud but also the game's thievery element.

Is there a way to check the achievement list of unreleased games? Clicking on the "View all" button naturally redirects me to my profile instead of the corresponding page.

I don't understand all the hate towards Ace Combat Horizon, I've been playing it a few hours and its a decent game, having a ton of fun.

I found the missions to be too long. I was sick of the helicopter and AC-130 segments well before they ended and having a minimum of 50-100 kills per level was exhausting.

No. The only data that Steam publicly broadcasts for unreleased games is what subs they're in.

Edit: Oh, and just to clarify, for games that move beyond hidden into private (e.g. Dead Rising 3), you do get some more data in the form of store info.

Aha, it's just a type of game design.
While were at it. I read a lot about Sega Sammy. What is that Sammy?

Sega Sammy is the holdings company of Sega and Sammy, the latter of which Sega merged with in 2004. High Moon Studios, responsible for the recent Transformers games, is actually Sammy's former development studio.
 
Think I'll finally give FF7 a go, anything I should knew before starting? Like, are the keyboard controls fine or such?

THE KEYBOARD CONTROLS ARE NOT FINE

What I mean is that the minigames, some of which you have to play to advance in the game, don't refer to the keys you map, but things like "action button".

So you better memorize which keys are tied to which functions and what the functions are called, or you'll have a bad time.

Another vote for the game and get it free once greenlight offer. This time Space Warp: http://spacewarp.mindcrew.com/indie-kings/

Also BlackShadows:
http://cybertroc.fr/indie-kings/

If anything, I thought the last batch of Greenlit titles would have showed devs and pubs that this strategy might not be viable anymore. Guess not though.

Regarding HuniePop and Humble widget purchase and steam keys:

At least the dev has the right idea when it comes to giving out keys :p

hey SteamGAF wow so much OT doge.tif I don't mind OT talk hey don't talk about talking about OT talk.. ok? y u r mad tho r u even a mod bro? 100% MRORANGE.. I agree.. well, I don't agree moar liek 100%MRWRONG m i rite?.. well, I DO agree so u are wrong... oh you complained about an off topic post, tell me more about your exciting steam talk-willywonka.png -- I'm sick of pictures of steam games in my steam thread I can't even view it at work? what the fuck am I supposed to do at work? work? oprah-no.gif

wow what a wild ride!

Everyone should play Lovely Planet, the bright colors and the happy music along with the speed of the gameplay really gets you going.. The instant restart mechanic only adds to its addictive nature. The game is pretty lengthy on its own (100 levels) and if you are a perfectionist type you will get plenty of mileage out of it... lovelyplanet.webm

does it still default to the numpad?
