Strangely enough, I can't participate in the 2014 GOTY nominations because I'm pretty sure I didn't play a single game this year that came out during 2014 (let alone bought one).

Yeah, this is probably the only game I never played the single player at all. The Multiplayer is the game IMO, the campaign is just a really long tutorial

What a load of fucking bullshit.
So a reminder that the 2nd SteamGAF GOTY awards will be hitting earlyJanuary, it's a good idea to finish off any games that you feel have potential that were released this year.
Last year's nail-biting results.
A few changes/notes to this year:
- APS (Average Point Score) determines who wins if a game is tied in points
- Option to reflect or write a summary on your 1# game - will be used in inaugural award ceremony
- Time given in January so people can post who they felt was the best game of 2014
- 5 games max limit,1# will get 5 points and 2# will get 4 and so on...
- Episodic content can only be allowed into the contest if it starts in 2014
- New thread for awards might be a good idea
If you have any pointers then please give a shout, more info in the future will come on how to vote.
Looking forward to this, and they're the only GAF awards that count. Will we only be able to write a summary for our 1# game though?
I don't know if this has been posted or not but...

Just wait till square enix file one to have GeDoSaTo taken down for ruining their chance at re-releasing FFXIII 'HD' mode with 'enhanced resolution' options.
votes are sent by PM, but feel free to write one for your #1 game as some of them will be used for games in the top 10.
Think I'll finally grab The Walking Dead S2, -75% and all episodes released, which is similar to how I bought the first one.
Going against something that not only doesn't infringe on anything but actually helped their game sell more. Pathetic, really.

It was probably just automated or some lawyer. I wouldn't read too much into it -- protecting your copyrights/etc is serious business, and overzealous mistakes get made sometimes because failing to protect them can cause serious issues down the road.
Haha haha haha haha haha....one step forward, two steps back.

Oh no.
I was going to get a new laptop for Christmas and the first game I was going to play was Dark Souls. Please, does anyone know where I can get a copy of the latest DSfix?

Just go through the thread, there's a few links floating around in there.
If you had voted for Bioshock Infinite and caused the scales to tip, SteamGAF would go down in history as having terrible taste.
We came that close.
What a load of horseshit.
I seriously can't remember half the games I finished this year.
Ok I need this in my life.

Thats good to know, cheers.
EDIT: Seems I can't choose Alien Isolation, which I was thought was in the list.

Same, and the thing is I think I've done over 52 =/
Wow, that's pretty stupid. Hopefully this doesn't stop Durante from releasing fixes for shitty ports.

Good day folks of steam-gaf!
Hope there are some good deals for today.
Kinda bummed I somehow miss half of flash deals every day though.
But first let's see what happened in the last day here.

You know that they're running for 24hrs?
Scroll all the way down beneath your wishlist items, there's the last set of flash deals. They run for 24h.

Wait until 6.5 in Infinite.
Blimey O'Reilly that first server bridge segment in Unity came right out of the leftfield. Guess that's what those Time Anomalies were all about then huh.
Also having 5 games on the go at once really isn't doing me any favours for getting stuff finished.
You know how it is. He who Meh's first Meh's the loudest. Pretty much any game that comes out has an angry mod attached to it, especially when it's a PC version that doesn't magically work on someone's antiquated system. Sure it had some teething issues and had a few patches before I got my hands on it (which boys and girls is why you don't dive into buying games unless you're willing to take a chance) but it's far, far from the horror show some were describing it.
Just when you thought you've seen it all...

Huh. Well, if you keep talking about how you like TEW, maybe that ponzi scheme information will no longer be required.

I randomly voted for IL-2 Sturmovik: Battle of Stalingrad, as long as it wasn't Orion.
But oh well, Orion is probably going to win anyways.
Those shots are amazing. Such a clean DoF implementation.

Those are some fantastic shots, Doc.

I've played waaaaaaay too much DS, EU IV, MK8 and Smash to be able to make a full steam top ten.
I'm going to be a fight between DS2 and Shovel Knight though, what do you think about that delight.exe?
I can also confirm that Killer is Dead will make it to the top 7

and i wanted to write how good it would have been for the flash deals to overlap...
I had a look at the options before but I couldn't find the option that hides game I already own. I could only find the option that highlights games I already own.
Can you tell me what the configuration is?
Bandai Namco should be protecting DSFix at all costs, it sells their game better than their damn crappy excuse for a PC version ever did.
So in corporate world this translates into: take it down!
Well I'm only using 1 780 at the moment. Granted I've got it clocked to 1176mhz and at times I'm running on fumes (only game that has hit the 106% power limit that 265 watts!). At 1920x1080 I bounce between 40-60fps and at 2560x1440 it's pretty much and average of 30fps dipping and rising over that target slightly depending what's on screen. Disabling ambient occlusion and lowering shadows to low can get me a fairly consistent 60fps at 1920x1080 but it looks horrible without some AO. For the real extreme cuts back, leaving all the effects turned up but resolution dropped back to 1280x720 doesn't ever miss a beat at 60fps but I'm not playing at that resolution. Shame there's not much to scale the game back like Black Flag had but Unity is definitely something I'm going to revisit in a couple of years when I've upgraded GPU(s).
Definitely the best implementation I've seen in real time rendering. Surprisingly it's not massively expensive either, 15-20% GPU load. Compared to The Witcher 2 and the bokeh you added to Dark Souls II which hit me a lot harder.
I honestly don't think I'll finish nity this year as every street corner is a photo op waiting to happen.

Crazy good screenshots Doc!
There are so much details in Unity I wonder how much manhours went into the whole game? Also wonder if it's worth it when most people run throughout these crazy detailed environments.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
If you go to the search page you can uncheck "Items you own" in the "Hide" menu on the right hand side. Currently there is a bug that isn't limiting this to search results. Hopefully I'll have that patched up in the next version.

If not for DSFix I wouldn't even have bought their damn game.
I got it to run ok when I removed AA completely and lowered couple of things, this at 2560x1440. Playing it though at those setting just doesn't feel right. Going to try running it at 1080 in my living room someday soon and see how much better I can get it to run. Far Cry 4 also runs so much better just by going down on resolution.
Guess it's time to back up Dark Souls Steamy Edition incase this isn't a very, very silly oversight. I'm surprised there hasn't been a 'Scamco just shot themselves in the foot' post but I guess everyone is still in shock.
I'm pretty sure Ubisoft draft's in half the population of Canada when cranking out an Ass Creed. That or at least half of them have an Ass Creed game on their CV/Resume.

So I love strategy games, and am contemplating Endless Legend. I've never tried a 4x specifically before, but the game looks amazing. Any one here play and have any comments if it is worth it? I just need a shove one way or other as I'm on the fence.

Chapter 7 in Valkyria Chronicles... -_- This is the second time I've failed this mission. *sigh*
I played around with it for a bit. Some computer troubles have pushed it to the wayside but I like what I experienced.
Sorry I can't be more helpful.
