I just don't get Killing Floor 2 (and 1)

I loved the Horde mode in Gears 3 and thought this would be a whole game around that mode but there are only like 5 different enemies. Every wave feels the same. Whenever there is a boss fight (wave 11) it's always the same crazy german doctor. This game is so repetitive what is even the goal in the game? Just to repeat the same waves over and over again?

The full version comes out in a few weeks will there be more to it?

You may find that you actually have 3 and 4, just not the corresponding DLC apps, which are effectively blank and don't have any data themselves. Click steam://open/console and then type in licenses_for_app 242780. What's the package id?

nfs most wanted is a really fun game, I'm actually enjoying it so far, it's like a mix of nfs and burnout paradise (which I didn't actually like), I didn't think I'd like it because of the open world but I think the city is well designed and I liked most of the races and routes, what I don't like is that some races are sorta repeats with a different car but the game makes it easy for you to access those races from the UI if you've already done them.

game looks really cool in motion too, just like nfs hot pursuit, but too bad it doesn't have a photo mode

Nope. Its survival. Though the devs always have new content and enemies during special holidays.

Ah, yeah, that's just the first two episodes. There was a discount on the whole season to account for your situation, but Phoenix attached an expiration date because reasons, so the best you can do is disable your current licences and wait for a sale.

So how many here are jumping on the NMS refund bandwagon? I'm kind of on the fence now. Worried that if enough people are doing it Hello Games may just throw up their hands and abandon development and fixes. Kind of feel like going for it and then just buying it again later down the road if they get it in a much better state.

I'd refund it but I got it as a gift purchase and it'd be annoying. Hello Games won this battle, but it's unlikely I'll ever get another one of their releases.

If it's Unity, try starting the controller after it launches. Unity games + One controllers are fucked in general, and it got worse with the Win 10 AU, but starting the controller after launch solves it in all the problem games I've tried.

A proper fix for this is probably coming in next cumulative patch tuesday, possibly even on the 30th.

The waves aren't the same, it's about the random mix of enemies (there are more than 5 and they get new abilities in higher difficulties) which can fuck you up fast when playing too carelessly, movement through the levels, the economy (when do I buy weapons and armor, do I preserve ammo but risk getting mauled), mastering classes (lots of small tricks and tactics to learn), perks (you can change them during waves) and team composition (classes and skill level). I assume you haven't played much and only on normal, there it might look like a simple game but that's deceiving, even on hard one or two dudes not knowing what they're doing can be the end. Also I find the core gameplay to be fun enough to cover for any repetition. Plus the banter never gets old.

Two bosses btw, they added Patriarch from KF1 a while ago. Another one or two couldn't hurt though.

Yes I played 4 hours so far and only on normal. I don't know how to unlock perks though. When do you get them? Will give the game another go tonight.

I logged into my Indiegamestand account and saw this, I don't know if the key is used (I got the game from Gleam, so I never used this key anyway, but dunno, better safe than sorry), but I never bought the game that's for sure, so I don't know why it's here:

When leveling up a class to 5/10/15/20/25, check what has to be done on the select screen but it's basically using the main weapons of that class. I concede that there's grind but you can level up about once per long game (10 waves) on normal and it's extremely helpful to learn the levels and the basics of the class (stick to one, Firebug and Support are good for starters, SWAT is easy too). You can try jumping into hard games but don't go higher or you'll get kicked.

My "slight" gaming OCD is really killing me....I can only really play one game at a time with any concentration, and I have to get some of the achievements/challenges. I'm not great at Door Kickers and it's kicking me in the balls getting 3 stars for every level. I'm going nowhere near the Iron Man challenge or I'll never finish playing!

After countless of recommendations by friends I splurged and bought DOOM, here's hoping it's worth all the high praise.

Welp I'm in Mission 13 of Mankind Divided. Once I beat it I'll wait for S-E to fix the glitches and then I'll beat it.
Got God Eater and Castlevania LoS to tide the time til then.

This Tuesday is the 30th though.

I know.
But not every tuesday is a patch tuesday.
Next one could be on the 6th, or even later.

Normally they come around once a month, but after AU they have been every week.
But I can't predict the future, so the next one might possibly be on the 30th.

Ah, Digital Homicide LLC seem to have changed publishers again to R. Romine.

Also, this only came out like two days ago (although it is practically identical to a similarly titled game). Still, my Digital Homicide collection remains incomplete (I'm missing Dungeons Of Kragmor)
Don't worry; no money spent, no cards bought or sold...some people say the ethical thing to do is turn the cards into gems

That's the only one I'm missing as well. They must be holding that one back due to it's quality. /s

Is there a way to allow for the same possible features while playing a game in Big Picture mode? I.e. when I boot up a game I have to quit the game in order to access the normal features, like the store, library, community hub, even the settings for Steam.

Are you talking about the mission 14 glitch? Does it actually happen to everyone?

I'm still halfway there but I'm starting to feel concerned.

Yeah, the DR game drop in price so often they pribwbly just didn't want bother. Hell I think during the capcom sale you could have gotten all 3 for under 40.
I mean on launch: Triple Pack is 50€ on console, it would be nice if people can get DR1 for 10€ on PC.

Meh, I missed that Idlemaster glitch. Explains why a certain GAFfer on my friend list was spamming my overlay notifications with different games every second.

Doubt it. Since as was said the games have gone cheaper on PC already. Yes even if they did, I doubt they would give it back to people who already own the others. Since it would screw everyone that has preordered it right now.

My PC is ready for the Vive, but not my wallet. It costs so goddamn much. I mean, it costs like about 1024 euros/1147 usd. So much more cheaper in the US. :( I really hope there will be a sale soon or a price drop here. Ive just read/heard about a few people who have bought it.

Yeah derExperte was the guy spamming my notifications lol. So do I just set idling behavior to idle each game individually, then change the games 1 by 1?

yes and then you click through them fast by hitting the next button

I think it helps if they've all been idled for 2 hours though
 
how did you miss it when it still works?

I can't get it to work anymore, though it seems to work for at least 2 regulars, they are constantly changing games every 5 seconds or so. Really need to turn that notification off!

Edit: Working again, getting cards every 5 seconds now!

It wasn't working for me last night and it's weirdly working for me again this morning.

Remember to go offline on your friends list if you don't want people to hate you while doing it.
