Yeah, I assumed new betas would be pushed out quite quickly to fix the broken SLI bits in Far Cry 4's profile that introduce a severe case of crushed blacks, but nope.

Valiant Hearts is making my menu fat.
i asked riot how much money i had spent and it was only $136
was kinda disappointing lol
I am also incredibly disapointed. I had hoped your frivulous spendings would be up there with mine, but alas, you pale in comparison. Its just me and Inky in our sad little corner, all alone
I hate it when pubs put a game's region-specific title in the actual app name. Capcom is particularly guilty of that. Just make a region-specific app!

It's not completely free. You still have to spend $20 on their store.
The site is up and still sucks.

Distance Early Access is now up and is $19.99 ($16.99 first week promo).

It is. That's why it's not in the top section of the list and it's in the "here are some other franchises".
It's beyond flaming garbage. I gave $10 to the MH franchise once. No matter how much gameplay looks alright sometimes, I will always remember my time with MHFU and not becomes the next Dubya.
Let me quote myself and edit it for clarity. I'll edit it in.
Better?
Seemed obvious to me that because there was a separation of lists and the second one said "wait, here's some other things" that the "other things" were "other things I wouldn't necessarily throw all my monies at". Then again, I wrote it.
But now it should be perfectly clear.
Now, being in that bottom list doesn't mean everything is flaming hot garbage the likes of MH, but it's stuff I've never played and don't have a lot of interest in or things that would have to be heavily discounted or have new features (Okami, for example, would not be bought unless it was ridiculously cheap unless the PC port had the option to turn off the fucking gibberish... the game is too long as it is. Having to listen to gobbledegook for 40+ hours? No fucking thank you.)
Valve should update the mandatory Early Access FAQ template with a question that indicates, at the very least, whether or not a game will be discounted during Steam's notable sale periods. Many devs answer "Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?" in no uncertain terms but only a small percentage bother to mention whether or not it'll go on sale during the Early Access period.
Grabbed this. Thank you! I'm also interested in Dokuro if you don't mind me entering?
Does anyone use the PS3 navigation controller or some equivalent that they use for PC? I've been playing Alan Wake and I've curious how well it works in combination with a mouse for aiming. I have enough points on Sony's reward site that I can to pick one up for "free" but I'm not sure if it's worth it.
What was your exact problem with the game? Obviously it isn't one that everybody can enjoy but just curious what makes you think so badly of it lol

Lack of variety in combat is the easiest way to put it, not even pulling in the other grinding stuff that factors into the game in order to do well (collecting ingredients or whatever).
I saw it was on sale on PSN and knew I'd buy a Vita someday, so that would alleviate the claw... I looked up some YT gameplay and watched a few fights against harder monsters, I'd wager and came away thinking maybe, just maybe, it would be like dark/demon souls. But what little exploration there was in the amount of the game I could stomach wasn't very dark souls like which meant in order for it to redeem itself for me as something I would play and enjoy that I would have to really dig the combat. I did a few of the early missions and just became overly frustrated and found the combat clunky and boring. I know a lot of people say it's "more fun with other people", but I don't tend to be much of a multiplayer gamer and trying to play MHFU on Vita with others is a bit of a chore (if it's even possible in NA)...
I gave the "hunting" genre another shot with Soul Sacrifice and I loved it. Funny thing is, most people who like MH and play SS dislike SS because it's not MH enough while those that like it seem to do so BECAUSE it's not MH like. Soul Sacrifice had a lot of spell types, a lot of build types, and had a solid core of being able to play like demon's/dark souls in a way (very heavy dodge based combat, learning attack patterns, fast paced combat, though it lacked the "physical weapon" aspect until Delta, which has a ridiculous amount of added content... I still need to finish a bunch of the new story in that, now that I think of it).
I think the extra hate for MH not only comes from getting the wrong impressions and being immensely disappointed with my purchase... this happens a lot. It's why I have real problems with Strider 2014, Uncharted 2, and several other games which either didn't live up to my hype or didn't live up to the general internet hype that surrounds them. Combine this with having the crazy rabbid fans of the genre going around spouting why it's the greatest thing since <whatever> and argue with you over why it's better than <everything> just makes it all the more infuriating.
I don't know why I just can't finish steam games, I had this problem before, but never so bad like with steam, I have about 100 unfinished games, some near the end even and all I can think of about new ones I bought recently, good that I can't download them before uninstalling some of unfinished, or I wouldn't even be having this speech!
Seriously, I need to finish some games, Wolf surely can wait a little.

I don't like hunting games either, but Soul Sacrifice was quite good on Vita, I played it a few hours.
I do the same thing. Often I'll get almost to the very end of the game and then get distracted by something else. I've really been trying to stop doing that, I end up missing out on a lot of cool stuff.

Im about halfway through F:NV Dead Money and Im really liking it so far. The characters are really cool, especially the dynamic between Dog/God. The only thing Im not really liking is the poison gas which hinders a lot of exploration. Im pretty high level wise (27) but taking somewhat constant damage and fighting the Ghosts is a bit of a drag. I can't wait to see what the other DLC has to offer. I thought I'd get through them, or at least one or two, before I return to exploring the mojave wasteland
Considering Im playing with J. Sawyer mod, It also just hit me Im going to hit the level cap in eight more levels. I couldn't imagine being level 50. Sure it would take a lot of grinding but it would make the courier OP.

I think I have too many games that are the kind I pick up and play a little bit here and there with no real investment in finishing no matter how much I like them.
If you finish those 100 games you may beat the "52 games in a year challenge"
hey! you just made me look real bad! (><)
I actually finished about 30 games this year, and let's not forget that 5 of them are ass long games!
Have you finished your 52, btw?
this too, I like pick drop pick and play games, that's part of the problem
i got to 34 out of the 52, tho most of those are super short free games
i don't know how people do it
yeah, I find it amazing too, Knurek is in his 100 finished games by now I think, insanity! (><)
I see. I haven't played MHFU much in MP either due to the non-native online multiplayer. Luckily they have finally resolved that issue for handheld titles with MH4. About the boldened aspects, not sure why you have the impression that these are non-existant in MH. Learning attack patterns is basically the key to successfully and efficiently hunt down your targets, dodging and combat pacing is up to you and the weapon you use
If you happen to have a 3DS you should eventually give 4 Ultimate a shot, the new verticality opens up the gameplay a lot and there are three new weapon classes in comparison to MHFU, eventually you will find one that suits your combat preferences more if you couldn't get along with the 12 or something that were in FU. Plus the older ones have received a major moveset overhaul, making greatsword my second most used class while I've never liked it in previous titles.
Anyway, yeah, MH on Steam... one can only dream. Thinking about it, are there any good games of the genre on Steam? I can't recall I've come across any yet.

I woke up this morning with a twisted ankle. Dunno how I managed that.
When my Steam Only 1TB SSD arrives, what is the procedure in moving everything from my c:\ drive to this new destination and having everything install there in the future?

I think I have, maybe even 53 games. But some of them are quite short games and some even don't have goals >.<
Yeah, but now you're finding it hard to play games, which is the other half of the equation.
Just cut and paste your Steam folder. If Steam complains about something, delete everything except for the steamapps and userdata folders and Steam.exe, then run said exe -- this essentially acts as a reinstallation.

Jump in~ If ModBot deems you worthy enjoy the game~
From a strictly combat mechanic standpoint, they are similar. After that, not really. And I would definitely say that souls has more polished and varied combat, but the same could be said about the vast majority of games. Souls combat is better than just about anything out there right now.
They both have one.
Good morning SteamGAF I don't know if this was allready posted but TF2 End of the Line is here

I think that Early Access is becoming a norm, we are getting close to half of all released games being EA games. Do we have statistics somewhere how many of them leave EA and in what time? I think stump once posted something like this.
congratulations! It's still quite a feat short games or no!
congratulations! It's still quite a feat short games or no!
it's another equation entirely, one where you jump from game to game to another game to yet another game and can't stop! until you run out of space to dl (><)Yeah, but now you're finding it hard to play games, which is the other half of the equation.
I basically agree with all your post, but regarding the bolded part: it wasn't luck. Valve was one of the first company, if not the first, (i think, i don't remember much about pc gaming in the 90s
) to actually acquire mod and modders. That was an extremely forward thinking thing to do, like it was Steam itself.And I miss that kind of glorious Valve, doing crazy shit I would read on gaming mags and say "holy shit that's glorious".
Distance Early Access is now up and is $19.99 ($16.99 first week promo).
Is this the F-Zero like one or am I confusing with another one?
It's the spiritual successor to Nitronic Rush, so maybe? It's looking pretty good, though. I'm gonna wait until it's out of early access, personally.
30 more games were greenlit. short list of what I know of

I don't know what that is but it looks amazing nonetheless!
106, going on strong to have 110 by the end of year (and would have 150 if I counted each Telltale episode as a separate game, as some people do)
It's actually quite easy to do if you try to limit collectathons/RPGs/4X games to a sensible minimum and don't care about achievement hunting all that much.
It also helps that I generally enjoy adventure games, which are usually 5-10 hour affairs, and I'm not above using walkthrough/guides when stuck.
Definitely signing up for 2015 thread if it gets made, having a goal helps - I've almost doubled my finished game count this year.

Wowee!
I love F-Zero (GX and AX forever) and I'm a sucker for cel-shaded graphics, so yeah, I guess they got my vote and my excitement.
