STEAM | February 2015 - Steam GOTY results still delayed

Status
Not open for further replies.
Unfortunately Steam gives out a game's card drops based on the amount of time you've played the game. Without increasing your play time, you won't get any cards. Sadly, that's not something I or anyone else
(besides the folks at Valve)
can change.

It also kills the recommendation system unless I'm mistaken?

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.
It also kills the recommendation system unless I'm mistaken?

The only thing it should affect in regards to recommendations is that your recommendation for a game will display your total play time. So if you use Idle Master to get the cards for a game, you could in theory write a review without having played the game... Or you could falsely represent your actual play time I suppose.

But it shouldn't break it or anything. Maybe on a fundamental thought or morality level, but not on a technical level.

It's good to hear GZ is doing well on PC. I spent 24 hours on it, still can't get all S, I'm a failure. MGS Legacy Collection on Steam would be dream come true.

I think at this point, the reason some Japanese publishers still hesitate on PC is either they are afraid angering fan boys or them selves are fan boys.

Well, all of the major Japanese publishers are on Steam at this point. I can understand smaller publishers not seeing the point in PC releases since consoles/handhelds are far more popular in Japan, though of course you could point to the success of games like Agarest and whatever as reasons why they ought to entertain the idea.

I mean the other side.

My steam page is full of "we recommend x because you played y".

But I never played y, I just got some cards from it.

why are you kicked in lobby?

I enjoyed it, and I'm obsessed with min-maxing

Ah good point. Yes, Steam will think you're super interested in garbage games after having played them for 4 days solid to extract trading cards. But the gaben dollars are worth it!

probably ping/no mic

that rarely happens to me, and is not the game's fault anyways

never got kicked for no mic. I had one, but I rarely used it

just play with some gaffers. I remember chariot, huggie, lashman, shadownet and frost (rip) were playing pretty regularly back in the day

where is huggie anyway? I haven't seen him in a while

Japanese publishers are simply afraid and a lot of times incapable of dealing with changes, the only thing they learned well from their western counterparts is pumping out DLCs.

You're telling me non of the LEGO games have cards? Who's the genius that decided that? Got the LEGO brand, Batman brand, LOTR brand, Marvel brand in one game and you don't cash in with cards?

It's okay.

Payday 2 will be completely irrelevant once Killing Floor 2 comes out.

And I say this as someone who is deeply in love with Heist fiction and film.

Really an amazing bundle from Nuuvem. I had only LEGO Marvel so it was an incredible deal. I only miss the Disney LEGO games now :D

Yeah they sure slow learner in this part. Except DLC part, I still can't wrap my head on DW8 DLC. $12 for wallpaper pack? I know it's optional, but really? Really?
They make Evolve looks sane in comparison. Fortunately it looks like just KT problem.

Sega and SE are quite mild on DLC. My complain on Sega DLCs is there are not enough DLC for SASRT.

And it looks like Neptunia will be my first 100% game. Thank God there is no own all items achievement.

such a shame
it's just too much, to open up, see i lost all my skillpoints, there's a new class, a ton of new items i apparently unlocked, new maps, i get like "emails" from the devs on every screen

it's stressing, it makes me not want to play

it's probably what someone that doesn't play league of legends often might feel, so i can understand it's on me, not really on the game, but tbh i wasn't expecting payday 2 to be like this since payday 1 was pretty much super straightforward, so i'm kind of just never finding the right mood to play it

It's okay.

Payday 2 will be completely irrelevant once Killing Floor 2 comes out.

And I say this as someone who is deeply in love with Heist fiction and film.
ehh, i just think i'm through with this type of game entirely

I see payday talk. Haven't played since before Christmas. Definitely got my money's worth

Yeah, same. Never got around to doing Diamond Heist or anything that came after that. Hotline Miami was a great high note for my group to go out on, I think. 400 hours flat plus the 40-50 or so I had in the beta is damn good for the money. Can't say I've been super pleased with the way the game is beginning to turn into a DLC garbage dump instead of pouring genuinely good ideas into the mix.

I wonder if Early Access plans have been pushed back/abandoned. It's been 9 months since Tripwire announced the game and said it'd be available "sooner than we may expect".

They keep insisting it will be the case, simply that they wish to have the game be content complete and only need netcode/optimization/balance stuff to iron out, which would benefit greatly by the extended audience. I do have a feeling adding the PS4 version into the mix threw development for a small loop. They'll claim otherwise, but they aren't a massive studio IIRC.

It's okay, ran into a bug where the bricks do not build even though I got the right skilled character picked in a mini side quest. They built before with the wrong characters but never completed. Now that I got the right one, even the wrong ones act like it's not there at all.

Ah, wasn't aware that it'd been addressed here and there.

I'm talking about the Japanese side, didn't FF13s also had quite a lot of cosmetic DLCs? Capcpom also went crazy with SF4. SEGA's Japanese PC games only started to take off recently, so it seemed alright.

eh, i was never one to play multiplayer games, so it's not that great of a difference

like i said before, unless something very unfortunate happens, i can't imagine myself ever playing any other multiplayer game than league

I just double dipped on neptunia. PSN US has it on sale for 14.

I just can't handle it without PS buttons

Hey, PLGAF, I've noticed that the current issue of CDAction has full version of The Movies + Stunts & Effects Expansion.

Might also be worth for GERGAF, especially if you live close to the border.
 
Beaten LEGO movie, tried Hobbits and Batman 2, I found the gameplay dull most of the time, mildly amusing at best, but I still bought quite a few LEGO games.

That's not very encouraging :/

I do have a weird luck with bugs and whatnot, so maybe it'll be all right
of course not, now that I've said it

I just need Lego Batman and Lego The Movie and my collection is complete. Come on RNG!

Edit: nevermind, I'm still missing the Star Wars, Indiana Jones and Batman 3. Forgot the first two were also on Steam.

It's a sign! This can only mean that MS is re-releasing the game.

How is the Lego movie game? I know it looks good but that's all I've heard about it. I've played all but the lotr/hobbit if that helps.

It's the extended version of the movie, with movie clips as cutscenes, has tons of characters to unlock and lots of collectibles.
