The Steam equivalent of the drunk friend who keeps offering to pay your tab all night.
It's k bb I made sure to block you. Although knowing you I bet you own it already.

I do own it so you fail. As usual since you went back to stupid anime avatars. I liked your NFL phase
 
I'm number 7 baby.

Played a bit more Mass Effect tonight. Digging it! Why did no one tell me it was a decent game? Besides these god awful visuals that only go to 720p for some reason and no controller support :/
I did!

If you want to change resolution, there's a configuration exe in the game folder, look around.
 
Ok guys.

Playing through Dark Souls for the first time in over 3 years... Done with Anor Londo's beginning and trying to figure out what I should tackle next. Take Four Kings off the list... they're being saved for next to last, my SL is only about 48. The plan is to take out everything else > Four Kings > Artorias of the Abyss, I think.

Which leaves me sitting with these choices:
1. Painted World [leaning toward this]
2. Library and handle Seath
3. Ceaseless Discharge and all the fun through Lost Izalith and Bed of Chaos
4. Continue through the Tomb of Giants and fuck up Nito (sorta waiting on this as I still need to farm about 3 eyes of death from the Basilisks).

Oh, and at some point in there, I need to fuck up Gwyndolin... that should probably wait til after 1. though, In case I farm souvenirs of reprisal to level up the dark moon covenant.

people still getting sad and angry for being on the list?

that list was not manually made. it was copied by looking up the list of all users that posted in this and the last steam thread. copy-paste.

then he just deleted folks he knew by name out of it. that was cleared already.
it's not a good method and chariot said that as well.

being on the list sucks but it is not because chariot choose you especially to be on it.

I found it incredibly amusing that I was number one on the list. Guess that means i post the most while leaving the least impression. Success!

Also, Merry Christmas all.
 
Oh, im on chariot block list :(
Well on a 5 day travel with the family, so I couldn't really read the thread. Hope all of you are having a nice Christmas :)
Edit: oh, so its a giveaway list? Thought it was a forum ignore list.

That's okay, mate.
You're not on mine. Merry Christmas.

It's k bb I made sure to block you. Although knowing you I bet you own it already.

Have I ever told you how much I like you? 7 Gold stars.

Real talk time:
Before I joined Gaf I had to battle with my ISP and with Microsoft for a year to have my old email reactivated, it was a hassle but I really wanted to be a part of NeoGaf.
Sometime after I got accepted as a junior I started dabbling in the community area as well but only lurking and to be honest my first participations on a Steam thread was due to a no a lurker giveaway. I didn't just spam but I made sure to try an be active, that actually helped me stop being a lurker and start being a regular attendee and engaging with others.

Some of you might have noticed (in all honesty I doubt anyone has xD) that I stick around for long periods at a time or that in Tue other hand I can be gone for long periods as well. I have several chronic diseases that tbh are kinda screwing up my life but you guys help me bear through the day.

Sometime ago I promised a small guide for Rogue Legacy and to this day I feel guilty because I haven't delivered, there's reasons: I tend to be perfectionist, I realised I was being biased regarding characters and builds so I wanted to redo that, I realised I was being too specific in my advice and I want the reader (you) to be able to play their own way and not just as I tell him so I scraped the whole thing and probably the most important my diseases were keeping me in bed so I didn't and don't have access to the computer.
I decided to buy a keyboard for my tablet so that I can finish it asap so please look forward to it! (queue Square Enid image xD)

That helped me realise that over the short time I've been with you I've really grown attached to this community (some more than others as it is to be expected).
I just want to say thank you, thank you for being there and thank you for allowing me to be a part of it. I can only hope to be a positive element of the community and that someday I can give back what you've given to me =)

It's definitely very pretty... some of the "puzzle" design is a bit wonky though. I liked the overall story too. The ending was great, I thought. That "thing" they added in the achievement patch wasn't cool though. They put up a "klei-like" rant against achievements but say they just need to be done right and then when they patch them in, they put in this easter egg that basically exemplifies everything they ranted about. LOL

I feel special, I made the list twice. Merry Christmas guys, it's my 1 year old daughter's first Christmas and she's passed out from all the excitement of ripping up wrapping paper ( and has not shown any interest in any of her gifts).

Wait until she realizes how awesome boxes are!


Merry Christmas from Indonesia, SteamGAF!
Have a good holiday!

Merry Christmas!

Among all things sometimes it's easy to forget how this place can be a positive influence for the members around here. So I'm glad to hear that this place helped you!

You're not the only one awake at 4am =p

I honestly didn't even know you could manually block individuals when using ModBot, so I learned something in this weird turn of events (which I missed while hanging out with the family). I giggled when I saw myself on the list (#128).

Anyway, Merry Christmas. Stay happy today.

Merry Christmas and happy holidays to you SteamGAF :)

Ok guys.

Playing through Dark Souls for the first time in over 3 years... Done with Anor Londo's beginning and trying to figure out what I should tackle next. Take Four Kings off the list... they're being saved for next to last, my SL is only about 48. The plan is to take out everything else > Four Kings > Artorias of the Abyss, I think.

Which leaves me sitting with these choices:
1. Painted World [leaning toward this]
2. Library and handle Seath
3. Ceaseless Discharge and all the fun through Lost Izalith and Bed of Chaos
4. Continue through the Tomb of Giants and fuck up Nito (sorta waiting on this as I still need to farm about 3 eyes of death from the Basilisks).

Oh, and at some point in there, I need to fuck up Gwyndolin... that should probably wait til after 1. though, In case I farm souvenirs of reprisal to level up the dark moon covenant.

Take on the Painted world first. As its very easy + it has nice winter snowy theme to it.

Leave Izalith and that whole demon ruins section for last because it has several boss fights thrown at you which add great pacing right before the ending of the game.

I'm relatively new myself, but I'm sure you posting, and writing a guide for Rogue Legacy, is more than enough to give back to this community. It's certainly more than what I've contributed. So thank you for being part of this community, and I hope you get better. Happy holidays!

Aww, I blocked so many good people. Ok, but this can be a good thing. Here's the list. I already sorted some out. Help me to clean the list of everyone cool. Then we can get a list out of it that can help to reject people who are not part of the community if anyone has the need for it for whatever reason.

--I actually do this sometimes. But sometimes I just feel like using different methods.Very nice given that there is no deal for the game this sale.

It's cool I don't need giveaway stuff!

ℳerry ℭhristmas to all you guys!

I'm hung over but I still got to work. Did I miss any price mistakes? I downed like half a bottle of Jack Daniel's Tennessee Honey last night. I also got hilariously terrible Chinese gifts like terrible LEGO chinese knock offs and some portable chinese powerbank that doubles as a stand and speaker.

Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the house, not a gaffer was stirring, no hand on a mouse.

The headphones were hung by their towers with care, in hopes that St. Chariot would soon be there.

The neckbeards were nestled all snug in their beds, while visions of giveaways danced in their heads.

When out on the forum there arose such a clatter, xanathus and JaseC sprang from their beds to see what was the matter.

Away to Windows they flew like a flash, opened up their browsers and threw up the sash.

When, what to our wondering eyes should appear, But a gigantic ass blacklist and 5 shiny games.

With a little old driver, so lively and quick, I knew in a moment it must be Chariot with a scare away stick.

More rapid than eagles his coursers they came, And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name;

NOW ASTEBREED, NOW SHAN GUI, NOW 100% ORANGE JUICE, NOW WAR OF THE HUMAN TANKS, NOW BLAZBLUE!!

To the top of the page! To the top of the wall! Now give away, give away, give away all!
 
You have my attention, I love Guacamelee (especially for the atmosphere and artstyle), but all the problems you highlighted are definitely real; I tried the Outland demo on PS3, but it didn't blow my mind, I may have to reconsider after what you said.

Does Outland use the same metroidvania scheme or is it more straightforward?
It follows a similar Metroidvania-lite formula including handholding with clues leading you to the right direction, so if you're in the genre strictly for exploration it honestly may not be one of the better examples to hop into. As far as I know no way to disable them either, but I haven't taken a good look at the Options menus to tell you with absolutely certainty. There are some collectibles to find if you deviate from the obvious path (namely gallery goodies and bundles of gold for upgrade purchases that are also tucked away) but it's not that pressing of a motivation admittedly.

However, the platforming having a nice, smooth flow to it on top of a decent difficulty curve and the enemy obstacles (be it mass bullets or the bosses) generally being fun to figure out or deal with kept Outland very enjoyable for me, and it doesn't outstay its welcome with its relative short length. Fairly focused game with very little distractions - such as Guacamelee's cutscenes or its dialogues when finding a new ability - where pacing ends up being the victim, even if it does take approximately an hour until you've been gradually eased into utilizing both polarities. That's where Outland becomes more interesting, but by no means did it feel like a slog to me. There's also an Arcade Mode after beating the game where you can aim for highscores under a time restriction if you haven't had enough yet and while it isn't a meaty game in terms of content, Housemarque at least made sure that what's there isn't actually an absolute walk in the park, includes sufficient variety and has its own distinct style that'll (hopefully) be expanded upon in the future.

Thanks for the thoughts on both. Guacamelee didn't really click with me either.

Will do for sure!
