I think it's the leap-frogging type of puzzle solving that annoys people. Like, place this here, then place that there, then place that thing over there so it frees up that first thing, you can now take that thing and place it there so it frees up the second thing etc. It's a lot of busywork and running back and forth.I.. I don't enjoy The Talos Principle. Portal was one of the all time greats, Portal 2 was the best game of 2011. Antichamber is excellent. And I get nothing out of The Talos Principle. I put 3 hours into it and have no plans to return to it, although I probably will eventually because just about everyone thinks it's a great game.
Just goes to show how hard it really is to recommend games and actually succeed at it. Almost every The Talos Principle review/opinion mentions that if you enjoy Portal type games, this one is a winner.
yeah i hate collecting gamesThat's fair. I was thinking purely in terms of number of hours. Because I "wasted" a lot of hours playing League. Whether they were actually a waste is a matter of perspective I suppose.
But yeah, if you're talking about pick up and play, minimal investment, turn off your brain, time wasters, League is not that. If you want to play it, you pretty much have to commit to it.
I've found open world games are good for when I need something to play with minimal investment, because its usually easy to just do a bunch of side missions or roam around collecting junk when I don't have a lot of time or desire to really get into something.
i thought that was more for like farmville or something?"background gaming" is another term for it.
Just did it. Ran out of stones half way through and just waited going from snow flake to snow flake.
Then homeward boned the fuck out of there. One more achievement down.
Nice background screenshot from AC Unity :lolIt's bizarre how the info tabs aren't expanded in cases where the client window size sees the DLC header image removed. As it stands half of the box is just empty space:

It does have similar eureka moments when you figure out a puzzle, but I think the actual execution of solving the puzzle takes much longer than in the games it's compared to.
edit: those are just my impressions from watching a couple videos (Day[9]) and playing the public test, I haven't played through the full game.

Rome II looks super cool. Shame I won't be able to play the game over the weekend for free. Even if it is strategy from the screens and videos I saw I doubt my laptop will be able to handle it :/NBA 2k15, Total War: Rome II and Company of Heroes 2 free weekends coming up.
How are people feeling about Castle In The Darkness? Worth picking up?
I'm a fan of it. Lots of NES nods and references with regard to NPCs and platform design. The demon from Ghosts N' Goblins makes a cameo
Go for it, it's great! ^___^
At first I thought it could be a game where bitmap gfx was over substance since it was sponsored as "the game of isaac rebirth graphician", but it's not. It's a legit action/platformer, very charming and - for what I've seen - with a very good level/enemy design. I found the checkpoint/save system very "friendly", at least at beginning of the game.
Problem is I can't stop playing Neptunia when I got free time
Amazon gave me 20 bucks for a fuck up. What steam game to get?
wooooordvalkyria if you haven't

Valkyria will provide more entertainment for now and leaves room for even one more game. Perhaps - with some extra money - Life is Strange.Darkest Dungeon is that new hotness.

steam is showing me 500+ FPS
In the menu? I hate unlimited framerates in menus. My GPU has coil whine at around 500fps. I manually limit the framerate for such games using Nvidia Inspector or apply Vsync.

I keep forgetting to remove Kentucky Route Zero from my wish list. Game looks great, though.
I bet you will be able to get the First Sin edition of DS2 on sale at some point this year for cheaper than what the season pass would cost you now.
VC was JUST on sale. A true SteamGAFer would thus never buy it now.
Yes it is. The demo had so much promise. There's an IndieGoGo campaign happening soon as wellCould you vote for CrossCode on Greenlight? That game is made by friends of mine and honestly amazing.
@Steam_Support said:Certain email providers are currently blocking mail sent from Steam. We have reached out to rectify the situation.
Good choice. Last I played it I got to slab safely but fell down almost immediately on the way back.

Does ShadowPlay work with borderless fullscreen?Going to be LTTP, but there is an option for borderless fullscreen so you can ignore vsync entirely.

Someone else on Steam lamented that there haven't been a lot of spiders in games lately and asked how they looked in the REmaster.
i would appreciate being able to replace them with zombies that move like zombies and act like zombies and sound like zombies.You, especially, would appreciate the invisible enemy mode.
Never underestimate the power of boredom and or work shirking.It amazes me the amount of people who go through the activity feed. I'd figure most people wouldn't give a shit.
