people that say i hate every game could not be any wronger
i was expecting tacoma to be much longer so i was holding off hollow knight but i think i'm gonna go back to it
this superbrothers thing also sounds like a good idea
Give Day of the Tentacle another try. It's wonderful.

Played through Tacoma last night. I didn't like very much. It has a paper thin story and the game just ends abruptly when the story actually starts going somewhere. You spend the rest of the game exploring the empty space station and watching these holographic replays of the people who worked there and the events that happened.
In a way it's similar to Gone Home where there was one main story driving the actual game forward and you had to glean other stories from notes and environmental clues. Except this time around the other characters are not interesting. They have fairly mundane lives and problems and it is just not entertaining to learn about them. The game does have a couple of interesting mechanics where you can rewind those replays and see events from different perspectives and there's some very light puzzle solving to figure out safe codes and stuff but otherwise it's kind of just a boring walk through a space station with very little payoff at the end.
Pretty disappointed with the game. Was really looking forward to it for a long time but I didn't like it anywhere as much as Gone Home.

i saw someone mention no emails are being sent on hotmail so you may need to try a different one

I saw a poster a few pages back show they were using Gameplay Time Tracker. I was wondering if anybody else uses it and has run into the issue of games just showing up as "Steam" when they track instead of the name of the game.
It's a pretty cool application but I haven't been able to find any support information on it.

horror adventure Downfall (from the devs of The Cat Lady/) may be included in Groupees Shifty's Summer Bundle. $3 preorder
still no idea how their guesses work but they are mostly (if not always) spot on

Yeah, I definitely want to stick to Firefox, but if the essential add-ons won't be supported I don't see a reason to. I'm currently looking into stuff like Waterfox or similar.
Tab Mix Plus, FireGestures, Classic Theme Restorer and Lazarus are must haves. Browsing without them is too damn slow/clunky.
i didn't score it which means i'm not saying it's bad. not everyone is always in the mood for the "second best adventure game" at the time they play it
'm also entitled to have different opinions from u. remember, my opinion doesn't invalidate urs!
i might watch a let's play of it at some point or something
the impression i got from playing a few hours of it was that adventure game logic was in full force in that game and not in a way i can attune my brain to like i did with monkey island 2, so i played for a bit and got both stuck and overwhelmed and figured out it'd better to play something else
also the humor didn't really work with me
but all of that was real early so it's not really a full opinion, just more of a first impressions thing and i tend to move on from games really quickly if they don't grab me right away
it's really weird
i almost feel like they overshot it with like a bigger map and a bigger cast and a sci fi setting and whatnot so they had to downscale on the story and secrets and such
or something
idk, it didn't feel nearly as interesting or rewarding as gone home

I like it (that kind of response isn't under NDA as far as I know)
It's very "Saints Row-esque" and the whole agents thing actually makes sense and adds a lot of depth to the gameplay as you get more squaddies. Sadly the radios don't have any licensed tracks as far as I can tell (I loved that in the SR games).

Shouldn't the ratings column be sorting from best to worst according to the indicator in this image?
I like what I'm reading, thanks for the input
The trailers I saw didn't really sold me on it despite the fact I did enjoy the other SR games quite a bit, so at least this puts it back into my radar.
Also sorry for putting you on the spot, should've figured out it'd be NDA'd

I'm pretty sure that would be illegal.
indicator just means u can sort it by score but i disabled it cos i'm sorting by "date"
I'm not sure where youre going with this except to a very creepy place.
It's a show with a bunch of 10 year olds. Like, where's the joke?

I don't know how this game manages to defy aging, but it needs to hook a gal up with its secrets.
Yes the last screenshot is cheating, shuddup

There's a dating sim for fucking anything, it seems like. I'm just.... uh, morbidly fascinated is the word I guess.... at the things that exist on Steam.
The joke is that there's a dating sim where you can date sushi. So why not a retro sci-fi horror adventure? Obviously not with ten year olds. Perhaps I should have been way less creepy in explaining what I meant.

Its the best version imo. I played the PS2 version years ago but got this on PC as soon as I could.
Has all the content from the PSP version along with some PC exclusive features like for the graphics settings, etc.
New interface UI is great! The only downside to it when you check equipment, the color is a bit too light but other than that its a great port.
I've clocked 108 hours into it so far. Finished the main storyline and doing the sidequests/levels now.
You can switch between the UI/Interface from the original PS2 ver to the current PC ver

Its highly worth it, wait for it to go on sale - I bought my copy when it was $8 on Bundle Stars.
There is one bug in one of the maps where if you use certain attacks, it crashes the game, not sure if it was fixed since I didnt try the map again.
Performance wise, it runs perfectly with all options max. This is on my 2010 desktop PC with a HD Radeon 7850 2GB and on my laptop PC from 2012 that has a Nvidia GeForce 745m.
pretty done

I think the joke is that most dating sims feature 10 year olds anyway? Anime is disgusting.

Can anyone recommend a legit site to buy some steam wallet codes? Amazon only sells the psychical card for some reason, I tried pcgamesupply, but my order never goes through.

Paypal-gifts.
I'm confused, why not just buy credit directly from Steam?
Hero of Time
Member
Thanks!
I currently don't have a Credit Card that matches my Steam region, and unfortunately Steam is really picky about that.
If you're in the US, then, as Chuck said, PayPal sells $20/$50/$100 codes: https://www.paypal-gifts.com/us/brands/steam-digital-wallet-code.html.
Edit: 2slow.
Edit edit: Their regional equivalents are also available in the UK, Germany and Austria (there's also a Canadian store but it doesn't have Steam Wallet codes).

Not in the US, but I have a US PayPal so I figure I'll be able to buy the code, but now I'm wondering if the actual code is region restricted. Anyone know if they're region free?
Ah. Yeah, the codes are region-free and will auto-convert to whichever currency your account uses.
Ah, that makes sense. Good luck!

That's great, thanks for the info!
'Metal Gear Rising: hated god of war gameplay'
That might be the most.. interesting opinion on that list, and it's certainly full of.. interesting opinions.

Observer, a cyberpunk horror game
any word on this?
Oh shit, remember seeing this 2 years ago at E3 and got super hyped since I loved Layers of Fear. Didn't know it was coming so soon!
Iirc you were a detective which had to investigate some kind of crime using a technology that allowed you to enter the mind/dreams of suspects and such. Want to see how it turns out.
not saying there's no fuss to be had, i haven't played enough to say for certain if i think it's good or not, it just never quite clicked with me in a way that made me want to go back to it
i do think a lot about giving it another shot but there's always something i'm more excited about
i forget why i wrote that, it's like two words, probably as a joke, written in 2014
give me a break!
i haven't changed my opinion that mgr r sucks tho, i still think the enemy types are super irritating and unfun and i hate parrying and also it was for some reason hidden and i got super stuck in one boss fight because of it or something like that
also that game is so fucking ugly, it's like all brown and the first area after the first level (which is the only level i like) is like a fucking sewer
fuck off game lol i fucking hate sewers

Jurassic. Heart.
Thanks. How long is it?
Haven't completed it yet so not sure.
The story is told over 3 books and I completed the first one in 1 hours and a half so I'd guess at least 4-5 hours long, more if replayed to see what the different choices bring to the story.
