I'm trying to go through my Steam backlog so I started up Lost Planet.

Eh, I can't say I'm disappointed since I got the game for two bucks during the holiday sale but I can say that I'm not liking it. The game is just really boring so far. Your character moves so slow which would be fine if your grappling hook was useful, but unfortunately it has a tiny range and can only hook onto a very small number of objects so navigating levels is really dull. The game is also really generous with the ammo and thermal energy so there's almost no challenge (granted I'm only at the beginning of the game). Maybe I should have set the difficulty to hard instead of normal, but I don't think there's a way to change it now that I've set it. The only enjoyable parts of the game are when you're fighting the larger enemies like the mechs or Akrids.

I've only played through the first two missions so maybe it gets better. If not, I'll just throw this onto the pile of games I don't plan on beating.
 
Anyone knows this site? http://www.vg247.com/2015/01/17/steam-library-pc-linux-mac/

It tells you how long it would take to finish the games in your Steam Library and and in this time (instead of spending it playing your games) you could do other things the site suggests. I found it very funny for Jasec (more than 3 consecutive years of playing his games) since it told him to either die or recover from Ebola 24 times or learn La Campanella or learn 18 languages. LOOOOOOOOOOL !

You can try it for yourself it is very funny !
 
Started Shadowrun: Dragonfall yesterday. Didn't realize I got the standalone version as well. Really enjoying the setting and whatnot so far (didn't play Returns). I went with a samurai to start off with. Wishing I went as a Decker or at least something with an ability that interacts with the world. All I've managed so far is to bust down a wall with my super strength.

Currently on a mission where I have to set up
surveillance with an asshole human mage, a mute elf and a dwarf electrician. The human is such an asshole holy shit. Drove the elf bananas and he turned on us
The music in this area in particular is awesome.

I'm doing pretty good on the 52 games in 2015 challenge, this is #5.

Congrats! Beginning of a year is always a great time for that challenge, since you obviously have some 2014 leftover to finish.
8 games here. Stuck on some 20+ hours affairs for now, so this won't change quickly

k finally sat down and wrote some stuff on the whole "hotline miami 2 skippable rape scene" thing

hope this bit of self-advertising is ok, just trying something new with this blogging thing (not really blogging, more like just random articles about stuff that i bet are not interesting to anyone but myself) and since we've talked about it a bit, might as well post it here

lemme know if doing this is annoying

well since you have a persistent crew in this one your main character doesn't matter as much so it's not that bad if your main dude is just a fighter.

i wish i could've gotten more into dragonfall, but the interface is too annoying for me. i'm too much of a hotkey person

On a related note, god damn, DSfix is nice.

Seeing that that game got an AO rating I'll interested in watching if Steam still allows it on it's platform. If so, there is no reason anymore to refuse uncensored Visual Novels.

Historically, yes, but the ESRB's AO logo is present on Valve's CDN and users can report games with "adult content" that are not properly age-gated, so I've long suspected that Valve's stance either has or will be relaxed. Also, another one of the reporting options concerns porn, so Valve allowing AO-rated games wouldn't open the floodgates for interactive hentai or anything of the sort.

Nudity would presumably be fine for the most part. Explicit sex scenes not so much.

Then again, Hatred would be a first when it comes to AO. So one may as well press uncensored games. This is not an big issue so far, since NekoPara works wonderfully without sex scenes (I almost would say it's better without) and IMHHW is censored by moenovel anyways, but I fear for future games, since there are quite a lot of VN's where the sex is essential part of the experience, that is generally a lot bigger than just a wank simulator.

I for one wish games about sex were more "ok" than almost anything we get in terms of games today.

Edit: Oh happy birthday Bayonetta! In your honor I think I will play Bayonetta for the first time today.:D

Like how the new iterations of F/SN gloss over the prana gathering aspect of the original VN's?

EDIT: It's Nito's birthday? Happy Birthday!

It would take you...
3034 continuous hours
126 days,10 hours,42 minutes
of gameplay to complete your Steam library

IN THIS TIME YOU COULD...
Beat Nier, with all the endings, 75 time(s) (you really should!)

well i already beat nier with all the endings once, so i could just beat it 74 times and procrastinate for the remaining playthrough

imo steam should just add a +18 section

censorship is dumb

It'd be doable if Valve had an account setting for age. If Valve wanted to be strict, it could allow new and current users to set their age without any strings attached, with changes requiring a valid form of id, and have any games flagged as "has_adult_content" be off-limits to those who don't have a payment method tied to their account (credit/debit card, PayPal, and so on).

The one that got into effect last year. The bigger mosaic dick and whiteout vagina one.
Eh, at this point it really doesn't matter for me. It looks weird with more or less pixels and white.

It's honestly time anyways that they implement a working system for mature titles.

i'm guessing sites that sell adult games already do something for age verification or whatever

i mean it would be kind of pathetic that valve has stricter controls for porn than the virtually no controls it has for violent games but that's the kind of world we live in

Are the season passes for Saints Row 3 & 4 region locked? Thinking about picking up them from Amazon.

Edit: Ah sweet, thanks Jase!

I liked this. You bring up a great point in the whole "if it can be skipped, then is it really necessary?"
