This is my list of games in my KING OF THE COUCH group on steam. Mind you, most of these are competitive, and i'll note when its co-op specifically:

Castle Crashers (Co-op Beat 'em up, 4 players)
Crawl (4-player, Competitive, very awesome!)
Dungeons: Eyes of Draconus (3-Player Co-Op Beat 'em up, its only ok, wait for sale, but its mindless)
Lethal League (4-Player, Competitive, Pong+Jet Set Aesthetic+Some Fighting Game Mentality. Comes out tomorrow, gonna be great)
Mega Coin Squad (4-Player, Comeptitive, 2D Arena-esque game, really good party game)
Mercenary Kings (4-Player Co-op, like Borderlands, lots of style, the substance not so much. Very grind-y. Again, wait for sale, but its not bad, just not great)
Metal Slug 3 (2-Player Co-op. Absolutely get this when it goes on sale again)
Monaco (4-Player Co-op, work as a team to do heists, very unique art-style, pretty fun, can be had for cheap during sales!)
Mount Your Friends (4-player Competitive. Just check the Steam Page. You'll know if you want it from that. Very fun game though, also solid for hang-outs/parties)
Niddhogg (Already talked about!)
Speedrunners (Mentioned already, but really fun racing game. Easy to learn, hard to master, sure to ruin friendships)
Spelunky(4-Player Co-op. Dungeon Crawler, really fun, but can be pretty difficult at times, so if you want something easy-going, maybe turn elsewhere. Very fun though).
The Yhawg (4-player Co-op/Competitive. Its hard to explain the Yhawg, but nab it for 5 bucks or lower. You'll probably only get a couple hours out of it, but its pretty neat for those couple of hours).

I left off all my fighting games, but there are plenty of those.

to those games i would add :
- Broforce
- Super Puzzle Platformer Deluxe
- Crimzon Clover WORLD IGNITION
- Jamestown
- Sonic and All Stars Racing Transformed
- Ikaruga

I have both STFU and KRZ. I also have DS2 + DLCs.

I was thinking Shovel Knight, but then also Valdis Story looks nice. Also Invisible Inc. looks like something I'd like. Damn these decisions...





(all those games will end up in my library at some point lol

Glad I looked at the raid mode DLC for Resident Evil before buying.

Both characters on offer are garbage.
Rachel Ooze has increased melee damage which you only get once in awhile.
Hunkette has increased Magnum Damage, Shooting, and Reloading. Which is better but the cost of Magnum is a pain. Plus depending on what you have you can do more damage with your regular weapons.

What's up with 2033 Redux being a "private app"? None of my screenshots show up in the community section or can be shared, and my stats like time played and achievements earned don't show up in my profile. Hell, if I go to my profile and click "games", and then search for it in the list it doesn't show up. Is this happening to everyone or just me?

Just you, I think. :3

Freedom Planet, Strider (don't waste your time on this corrosive ol' pal <3), and that Shovel Knight game. Killer is Dead is $19.99 but totally worth it.
Click to expand...

Even if I didn't think Strider was the biggest dumpster fire put out by a major publisher in 2014 or maybe even across the span of multiple years, there are, without a doubt, at least 10 games that are better than it for the money.

Furthermore, I bet I could come up with a list of at least 50, maybe more.

And to answer the original question, STFU is a pretty good time so far and it's not even $15.

I think this is actually how these free licenses work.
If you add one, remove it and add back later it will appear in it's original position.
I suppose it isn't too common use case to warrant development.
Click to expand...

Well, the trouble there is that there's no way to re-add a Free on Demand game to your account page if it's been pulled from the store unless you click an install link. Sure, such links are easy to come by (just search for the games on SteamDB), but that system, as is, wouldn't work with paid games because following the removal of a licence Steam would want you to buy the game again to get it back -- this isn't an issue with free games for the obvious reason that they're free.

Non-Steam stuff doesn't exist as far as my collector's thumb is concerned. ;)

Well I hate to say the dream is dead, but it kind of is for a while. I'm moving into a new house next week (with a 1 year lease) and my kids are starting back to school soon too. At my current job I finally got my hours extended, though no health insurance worth talking about.
I've paid out over $9,000 so far this year in medical bills, fuck.

So with everything that is going on right now for me, I'm not sure if I'd take a job at Valve if one were offered. It'd have to come with a pretty sweet paycheck and a fairly substantial sign-on bonus. In other words, not going to happen.

I dunno -- JaseC said something about this being Ubi's strategy to get people to use uPlay... that no games going forward would have Steam keys and could only be bought on Steam. :(
Click to expand...

I don't think it's a strategy to push people to Uplay itself, but evidently Ubi doesn't feel that there's a large enough market for Steam keys for Uplay games to offer them in general as opposed to just to retailers that request them. Amazon's gaming focus has shifted from PC DD to its FireTV/Android endeavour and Mac Game Store... well, who knows.

I personally prefer Lilac, Carol...is OK but her attacks just LOOK like they do less damage but I'm sure they deal a good chunk against bosses at least.

Go back in and let us know what you feel about the final boss ;P

So I bought the Jumbo Bundle 2 and I already own Orcs Must Die 2. So what happens if I redeem Orcs Must Die 2 Complete Pack but already own Orcs Must Die 2? Should I just give the complete pack to my friend?

Steam activates the DLC but ignores the game itself. Gift copies of games you already own are only granted in particular cases.

Well, I messed around a bit too much with Skyrim mods and just broke my 21 hr savegame. The good thing is, I'll get to experience everything all over again with the unofficial patches installed. I'll be able to see exactly what was fixed too, since it's all fresh in my memory!

Well atleast you've never experienced playing that on a PS3. The game feels like Groundhog day simulator to me.

Thanks! Do you know if the DLC is worth it? I still haven't played this game so gifting it to my friend might motivate me to play it.
Click to expand...

I'd say gift it to your friend. My friend and I had a blast playing it together. Pretty solid tower defense/tps game. Having the DLC is not as important as having fun with a friend, imo.

Hi guys!

I am looking for a game with pretty visuals and great music that I can play calmly on my Macbook Pro without a controller. I was eyeing The Banner Saga. I am mostly playing on console so I am looking for a PC/Mac exclusive. I am looking the right way? Thanks!

Sure he can decide for himself. But if we're offering up input, I can at least let him know that I thought it was absolutely abysmal. ;)

Wait for the next sale on Valdis. Some loved it, some hate it. Seems very polarizing and you can get it for <$10 for certain if you wait. Maybe $5 or less even.
Screw Invisible, Inc. for now, it's Klei and it's EA.
So out of the 3, go with Shovel Knight, perhaps. It's a fantastic blend of modern gaming sensibilities with classic NES platformers.

Well, what do you mean you "search" for it? Like in your library?

When you go to your profile (with your avatar, your steam level, your info and all that) and click games and it shows your whole game list, you can search games. If I search "Metro" only vanilla 2033 and LL show up, not Redux. It's in my library, and I can play it, just nothing displays in the community sections about it, no screens, no achievements, no nothin'.

I signed out on the browser Steam site and went to my friend who has its profile, and it doesn't show on his either. I think it may just be an error in the steam database or something.

Edit: yeah, I went into the community hub and found stuff too. What I said in the paragraph above made me think it was happening to everyone, but seeing stuff in the community hub made me think it might just be me. I dunno, hopefully by the morning it will have sorted itself out. If not, I'll try reinstalling it or something. It's not like I can't play it or anything, it's just annoying that nothing shows up.

The games have only released in certain countries. Their general status is still preloadonly; once this switches to released, they'll show up on Steam Community profiles.

On a related note, OH MY GOD, 2033 IS THE GREATEST THING EVER. I love this game so much. Played a bit on 360 a while back aND just didn't feel it, but now I can't stop playing.
