STEAM | August II 2014 - Kept you waiting, huh?

Not open for further replies.
As far as I can tell, it's an average of the completion percentage of all games you have at least one achievement in. So yes, 100% in a game with only one achievement will bump you up. And getting one random achievement in a game with a hundred achievements will drop you down. Games you haven't played don't count though, nor do games without achievements.

I've been permanantly stuck on 22% for more than a year. Even idling games with achievements that I'll likely never play doesn't seem to change it.

I actually bought and played that. We were all bored as hell at my bday and I just saw that game for a dollar and thought it would be good for a laugh. I don't even remember a thing about it. So it failed even in that regard.

I feel sorry for CDi owners. Half the catalog was this wish washy type of game.

2. It's very annoying if you're the kind of person who buys a lot of cool emotes and kickin-rad BGs that you can't put either of those things on a wishlist. If it's something selling for a couple bucks you can place a buy order for 3 cents, and that's no problem, but I just wish there was a wishlist where I could watch the average price of some of this stuff to be a little more strategic about it.

Well mine are (slowly) selling now so I guess there's a bigger market for them than I would have thought. I'm surprised no one has tried to make a market wishlist to keep an eye on or setup alerts to when a certain item drops to a price you're after. Though from your posting in here about the data values Value uses it seems like a massive pain in the arse to lookup.

1. God damnit. I bought Amerzone on disc like 9 months ago because I wanted another Benoit Sokal game and it'd never come to Steam. I believe I also ended up buying it on GOG through a Groupees bundle shortly thereafter. ... wait a minute, maybe Groupees will give me a Steam key.

what you do with those emotes if you don't mind me asking? I don't see any use of them, except selected few.

Decided to quit and uninstall Van Helsing.

Game is great for the first couple hours.
But then it just turns into a slog. Huge maps, tons of enemy groups to shoot through, some rares, repeat.

I think I was near the end. Not sure what the level cap is but my partner already reached it and my reputation is also maxed out.
Yeah the mobs are absolutely ridiculous. Co-op has helped me a lot. I doubt I'd beat the game without it.

Like he said, games in which you haven't unlocked an achievement and those that do not support achievements aren't factored into the equation.

maybe you can add me on steam? I'm kinda curious now, not that I talk much, but still... would like to get some glimpse at that emotional reservoir myself. (><)
or you can post pics, if your fl is full

edited: lol, you edited it, to illustrate those depths, thanks

My dad saw me demo one in the electronic store in the mall. He knew shit when he saw it. I remember the laugh he gave when I asked for a neogeo and he saw the price.
 
there is pretty much anything on steam... except Tetris, I mean real one.
here you go
http://store.steampowered.com/app/262830/?snr=1_237_151__103_1

We can have a better Tetris game though!

It is not my game, but Tetropolis with its current Kickstarter is CRIMINALLY overlooked. It is an extremely unique and ambitious tetris themed metroidvania with freaking map manipulation!

Have some gifs here:

I think this post fits the creativity of this thread, this idea just an not be overlooked. We need more threads like this where we can support this kind of outside the box thinking.

The entirety of the main campaign is tailing people and/or eavesdropping on them. It's bizarre how they couldn't come up with better mission design.

If the new game does away with these tailing missions all together, THAT would be "Next Gen." But I can't lie. AC Unity looks like its going to be hours of fun, especially with co-op. I just hope it's not a restrictive co-op.

It might be a good idea to do a survey with games that are not on steam, including the amount of money needed. Of course, you should first make the task of obtaining that information using all necessary contacts. For example, the first batch that come to my mind:

Super Puzzle Fighter HD and Super Street Fighter HD Remix from Capcom.
Shadow Complex from Epic/MS.
Hard Corps Uprising from Konami/ASW.
....

Once listed all their budgets (to pay the developer to do the port or update a possible existing version, pay rights if the IP belongs to another company, whether is viable or not, etc) for every viable game (dev is ok doing it if they receive the requested amount of money), the survey is done. The resulting winner with the most votes, will generate a kickstarter to get the money. If successful, the money is delivered to the developer and will begin with the second one. And so on.

I have made a post on Fleaflicker message board. Please go check it out. Thank you! It's too bad NeoGAF doesn't let me message you all at once so this was the quicker alternative.

Because there was some recent talk about account security and password managers I'd like to mention that today you can get a 1-year premium subscription to LastPass for free. Premium isn't necessary unless you really want some more authentication options and mobile access. The free version is plenty for desktop/laptop use. But mobile access is useful and this might be enough to push some people over who still need it to beef up their account security.

This works for new and existing users. link

edit: now only for new users

edit: and another 6 months here canceled

Thanks for the heads-up. I use LastPass myself but let my Premium sub lapse as there was a period where I didn't have mobile internet data.

There goes my build.[/QUOTE]

I respecced for NG+ as a magic build and I'm strongly considered going back to my STR build. I think I've died more times in NG+ (up to NMWharf) than in half my run of NG.

[quote="Hugstable, post: 126965702"]Man that boss fight in Dark Souls 2 last night was so tense, took me 3 full attempts of dying to them but I finally took down the boss of Lost Bastille with only around 50% of my health left and no spare Estus Flasks. I wish I had figured out how to save Twitch streams before that, I literally had to take pause after that long as fight just because I couldn't believe I had actually won for a bit. Still gotta figure out why my stream gets all funky and pauses at times though :([/QUOTE]

You talking about Ruin Sentinels? Yeah, they can get fucked.

So, uh, is there anyone around who can give ModBot a kick in the pants? I've tried to register a giveaway in a couple different ways, but my first attempt might have inadvertently broken him (special characters and all that). And now ModBot isn't responding to any of my advances.

I will take a look in a second

Yeah, believe me, I tried a barebones giveaway PM as well, still no response. I've given away quite a bit of stuff in the past, I just forgot to take out the idiotic "smart apostrophes" in the game names this time, and I think that kind of mistake has broken ModBot in the past.

EDIT: Thanks Stump.

Finally beat the first Dark Souls 2 dlc. Including the trio of jerks in the cave of the dead.

Perfect timing for the new hotness come tomorrow.

I've also all but given up on Ancient Dragon but I do want to take down Vendrick for some ridiculous reason. I've got a working strategy going it's just a matter of mastering the timing of the rolls.

My fault, not yours; I broke something this morning when I made a tweak. Fixed now. You may get spammed as ModBot catches up.
