Good morning SteamGAFI don't know if this was allready posted but TF2 End of the Line is here

It's a nice vid. The fandom is pretty disappointed with the overall update though. It's community-made, but they feel it got shafted by Valve.
And with this they pissed off all 3 of their service game communities in quick succession.
And let's not talk abut the HL2 anniversary.
Valve better step up their game next year. And no, I don't mean that they should skin their whales more....

Are you talking about in-home streaming or live streaming? In-Home Streaming can be done with Limelight: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.limelight
It's really good.
First thing's first: Valve needs to be reminded that there's an Android app.
you stab my heart.
(on a separate note, I'm really loving Marvel Agents of SHIELD)
First thing's first: Valve needs to be reminded that there's an Android app.
Before that, they should be reminded that they also have a mobile version of their site, that hasn't been updated for a long time
it's limited to those supported by nVidia's solution right?
me too, and I was sure I'm alone at this (><)

Yeah. It uses the Shield tech.
It's usually close to the start of the sale. I think it started a few days late last holiday sale.

Yeah, they had one for this year, but it was later than usual: https://www.reddit.com/r/Steam/comments/292b3b/psa_gamestop_offering_30_extra_credit_when/
It should kick off on the 18th.

9 days until Ground Zeroes, seems like time is going by super quick, can't wait to play it. And what's the deal with GZ coming out on a Thursday, seems kind of odd.

Did you take ambien? I fell down the stairs one time during a sleepwalking episode.

Do you like your sister? Maybe slightly more than is socially acceptable in modern society? Well here is the game for you!

The non-Steam games on your PC heard that Steam was getting its own SSD and decided to give you what for.
Stop putting your leg between the bed pole rungs while your asleep.
It's even more odd that it's almost a week away from release and there's still no price listed. Here's hoping it's $20 or less.

On the Steam forums, the Konami duder said it won't be available to buy until launch, so maybe they'll spring the price on us then, I hope not.
Expect a base price of $20, perhaps with some sort of early bird discount. The RRP of the console versions is $20 these days and there's no paid DLC.
I liked it. It has some problems (especially the combat...), but overall I think it's a good game. It was a bit disappointing to see that they had to cut keep customizations (they were supposed to be in all the areas, but now there are only 3, 1 for traders, 1 for spies and 1 for soldiers) and the timed quests.
Characters are still the strongest part of the game, but this time exploration becomes a pretty important part too. And it's actually quite fun.
Story was ok and there were a few interesting choices to make. Many past choices from DAO and DA2 are acknowledged, but of course not the big ones from Origins.
The parts about the elven lore were my favourites and I liked the implications for future games / DLCs.
The combat was really the most disappointing thing for me. I played on Nightmare with mouse+keyboard, because at least it was faster than a controller. The design problems are there either way. I loved the tactical camera in DAO and I have no idea why they decided to make the tactical camera so useless here.
It's too close to the ground, so you can't see most of the battlefield at once. For some reason you can't move the camera around freely, but it's controlled like another character, so it gets stuck a lot. And you can't even select all party members at once.
I understand that most people will just play without tactical mode most of the time, but the normal mode is way too actiony for me to enjoy. In these games I love pausing every few seconds and give commands and I disabled the tactics and behaviours for this reason.
Ah, the tactics and behaviours are lacking as well. In DAO and DA2 they were useful and you could tell exactly when an ability should be used. In DAI... not so much.
For mouse+keyboard on PC they pretty much just needed to copy DA2 and add the tactical camera from DAO. It would have been perfect.
In that same vein, Valve should bar developers/publishers from raising the base price of their titles a few weeks before and during major annual sales events. The reasoning is to curb the practices of prices being raised then a discount applied for the sale resulting in no net change in profits received by the developer/publisher.

I'm going to go with the theory that I was visited by the Ghost of Christmas Steroids and was put into an ankle lock by the spectre of Kurt Angle.
Did they just take the maps of Snowcat Simulator and did a different aspect of the mountain lodge business?
At this point someone should forge all these things in a big open world multiplayer game where every job is done by a player and his AI employees.
means not all games work with it unlike Steam's own solution right? I'm waiting for Valve and Sony to work together... they need to. Come on, get every single PS1/PS2 classic on PSN. add badges, game count, etc.
you will get JaseC on PSN too. profit!

The expansion pack should just be a noose.
I doubt it. Different publishers.

Haha, I actually have a PSN account (a few, in fact: AU, US and JP), but the last game I bought was Joe Danger in 2010.

I could play it, nothing better than after a day at work coming and playing simulators.

TIL what Seilbahn is called in English and that it's a literal translation.
Also it's a licensed game (licensed gondolas), don't forget to put it on your list. :O
you people are weird
I understand space sims, because what's not to understand? It's space, you are in space, doing things, you'll never do
OTOH will I ever manage Snowcats? I think I just explained myself all of it. (><)

If you want to have a fun time, look for "Simulator" on Amazo.de. I should warn you though, not everything is necessarily SFW

Also don't enter 'Stimulator' by mistake. Or do. And go on a shopping spree. I'm not judging.
nope, not falling for this, won't even google, I'll remain innocent and naive

It uses Big Picture Mode just like regular ol' Steam Streaming. If you can stream a game with in-home streaming, you should be able to with this.

I love it too, first season was a little meh, but towards the end it really improved a lot, and the second season has been great all along.
Don't say that, the germans would die without their simulators dose.

Wait this is new... so with Limelight, I can stream any game to my Android as long as I have an nVidia GPU and run it via Big Picture Mode?
I thought nVidia's GameStream only works with a specific list of games whereas Steam IHS works with pretty much any game.
I really love how the series is fleshing out the Marvel Cinematic Universe.. can't wait for Episode 10

You might have to add your Steam install folder to your GeForce Experience "Games" list (under preferences), but once it's an option you can just select it like any other game.

It took them long enough. The first season felt a bit too cautious, as if they had no idea which comic book properties they could use for fear they'd be in the movies. (Compare to the DC shows which will showcase several classic villains straight out of the gate.) But this season, things are picking up and it actually feels more Marvel. I'm glad I stuck it out.
Wat, when did they piss off people on CSGO and Doto?
õ.õ
Damn shame DC's shows always manage to make even the biggest villains really underwhelming and bloody dull :|
Is SHIELD any different? If so I might just have to give it a shot, but after Arrow, The Flash and Gotham I'm... Wary of superhero shows
