STEAM | February 2017 - Giveaways are back

tried bayonetta 2 on cemu, sadly it seems to be emulating the ps3 version for me cos i can't get it past 20 fps lol

i guess my videocard is just not up to snuff, which is understandable

Its not the GPU. Its a combination of GPU and CPU. Usually emulators need a powerful CPU to run well.

Cemu has very little to do with GPU. It's all about the CPU MHZeseses.

well in any case, my computer can't run it

anyways, with persona 4 out of the way, i'm trying to decide what to play next

i feel like i want something shorter and less story heavy but not sure what

i was thinking of playing steamworld heist, i heard good things about it

or maybe just play that new deus ex, see if that runs any better than dishonored

my ideas right now are:
- the age of decadence, tho i'm not much in the mood for reading
- day of the tentacle remastered, i can't remember a single thing of day of the tentacle
- deus ex mankind divided is apparently pretty disappointing, which means i'll probably like it
- doing ng+ on dragon's dogma
- i hear pony island is really interesting and weird and whatever???
- i hated re4 when it released but maybe i should give it another shot after like 15 years lol
- shadow complex looks kind of lame but i like metroidvanias so maybe it's not lame?
- i don't know much about steamworld heist but it sounds like a game with shooting in it and i'm kind of in the mood for shooting stuff
- trying vagrant story yet AGAIN, and this time for realsies

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

maybe i should just replay front mission 1 yet again lol

Worth giving Steamworld Heist a go because you'll know in 10 minutes if you're going to enjoy it or not. I've put a few hours in to it so far and I really dig it.

If you liked DXHR you will like DXMK. Same core gameplay.

Steamworld Heist is good. There is shooting, but it is turn based, not an action game.

So, uh, when did Valve put out $10-500 limit custom cards? You can pick one up, go to a register and put down up to $500 on a wallet code to use on Steam for your Steam Wallet.

If they did away with the plastic scratch cards and just had the (original) paper that you take to the cashier and had that custom amount, it'd be perfect IMO.

FWIW the plagas you see later in the game could be phobia triggering, they're not spiders, but they're creepy crawlies with arachnid-like legs. If you're willing to take a gander and be the judge, here's what it looks like.

But Mankind Divided is alright. Kind of forgettable but it's more of the same Nu Ex. Part of it takes place during the day which is aesthetic blasphemy, but I found criticisms of it being an "incomplete" game to be completely unfounded.

You can't go wrong with more Front Mission though.

Didn't see it posted, but Monster Monpiece store page is up (for real this time), will be released on March 14.
Took WAY too long for this to come out.
I guess late is better than never though. Wonder why there was so much delay. Its just a card game with a rubbing mini-game, right?

On the plus side, the art looks nice. Definitely better than if they had just stretched Vita art like previous ports did. The first few Neptunia games' art didn't look native 1080p at all, but this does.

Why did over a half dozen unrelated items I have on Steam all have identical 16.1MB updates?

EDIT: updated VC++ 2015 redist it seems.

thanks for the comments (keep em coming!)

i'm download mankind divided (that's gonna be a few days lol), and booted up steamworld heist and the game seems pretty great. really enjoy everything about it right now, will have to update as i progress

the spider stuff n re4 is interesting, since i remember pretty much nothing about that, but seems like the kind of stuff that's not gonna trigger my phobias. would have to see, actually that makes me kind of curious of why i don't remember them

i wonder if steam will ever open up to porn stuff, probably not, but seems weird that publishers are ok with sharing "shelf space" with TOTALLY NOT SOFTCORE PORN games like these

there's probably a ton of regulations that valve understandably doesn't want to get involved with too, but i wonder if it'll ever happen

I dont actually understand that. I mean Valve always say they cant offer adult content because of regulations in different countries, but as it seems they dont really care when its about violent stuff or other legal stuff.

In Germany e.g. games have to be rated by the USK (similar to ESRB) before they are allowed to be released. Valve doesnt really care what other publishers/indie devs are doing. No game besides big publisher games are even rated by them.

In the end its still strange, because you have games like Witcher, where you can have sex with the girls doggystyle and in other different positions, moaning, breasts etc. You have some other Visual Novels with "explicit" content, but no genitals, so I actually wonder if its only about genitals where they draw the line.
 
I just don't get it, if you pre-ordered BERSERK and the Band of the Hawk, they will give you the exclusive costume for FREE, for a limited time, but I thought that just for those who pre-ordered, but it seems that everyone can get the exclusive costume, so why pre-order?

As an early purchase bonus, the Exclusive Costumes DLC will be available for free for limited time.
You will be able to download Exclusive Costumes DLC from February 21st. Don't miss it!

Exclusive Costumes include;
- Schierke Costume: Pirate
- Guts Costume: White Swordsman
- Griffith Costume: Golden Hawk
- Shierke Costume: Blue stripe
- Griffith Costume: Black Hawk
- Guts Costume: Golden Swordsman

So, for those who bought the game, remember to download the exclusive costumes!

I just wanted to make a note about this -- in the next maybe 3-6 months we'll be making some templating tweaks (don't get your hopes up, mostly behind the scenes tech stuff and nothing interesting) that will probably momentarily break all of these scripts, maybe in a spectacular way. I'm going to try to figure out a way to give enough notice to the developers to update them but I suspect there's going to be a period in the middle where stuff is messed up.

After the Copoka incident, I went through my Humble keys and noticed I had not activated a bunch of them, for some unknown reasons. Either it was my own weird decision or some of these keys were added later on. Mistake fixed.



Also, I have installed Greasemonkey and as many NeoGAF scripts as I could find. Some of them are really neat. 😜

Is that quick edit script adding all those smiley stuff to the edit window?
 

Lain

Member
It does, but most importantly, it does not break the emojis which were in a message prior to a quick edit. 😎

Ok, next question, how do I get the smileys to look like that? Mine look weird as fuck after installing that script (actually went with extension on chrome but it's all the same right?)

Oh, another bundle that HB completely fucked up. 2K is doing their usual region lock fuckery again, giving inferior product to non-ROW buyers for same price. I bought first tier and choose that my dollar will goes to charity, those greedy smugs will get 0$ from me. Funny thing, i got two Civ4 keys for some reason, and they had different region locks according to Humble. What a shitshow.

In the meantime, i continued my RE4 playthrough. Del Lago fight was legit, so i was expecting that next boss battle will be really intense. After waterfall cave i bought rocket launcher and soon after this i meet this guy:
My first thought was "Wow, that thing is huge, it will be hard to kill it!". So, i grab rocket launcher, one shot, and... He died. Well, that was one of the weirdest boss fights I've ever played. But i guess fun is only begging, i just discovered this creature:
I think i need more rocket launchers.
 
Is there any option to not set german as a default language for guides?

Everytime I try to open guides, it directly selects German (and wont show any guides, because no one really writes guides in German) and I have to manually remove that tag.

I don't really know. Someone else asked as well. This was my answer:

https://addons.mozilla.org/fr/firefox/addon/emojikeyboard/

Edit: I think it is Firefox actually, because the emojis appear differently on the website and in Firefox.


For instance, this is the same emoji in Firefox search bar and in Notepad++:

I fucked up the steam name entry once some time ago (or was the Steam api key?) and never managed to fix it, as uninstalling and reinstalling the script doesn't prompt me to insert that stuff in. Is there something I need to clean out to have the script prompt me for that info again?

Yeah I give up, I'm not putting any more time into Ethan Must Die on RE7.

Have spent hours on this (a successful run is supposedly ~20-30 mins) and can only manage bout the half way point.
Brutally unfair mode.

Add English.

I don't really know. Someone else asked as well. This was my answer:

Color emoji requires Windows 8.1+ and program support. Earlier Windows versions don't ship with color emoji font.

So if you're still on Windows 7, that could be the reason.
