STEAM | January 2015 - Steam GOTY results: Delayed

I feel that I robbed Letter Quest by not including it on GOTY list, but it needs way better soundtrack for that and better way of score-achievements handling, other than that, it should be there...
totally agree on this with you Copons, I can't believe that people already forgot how much they enjoyed it!
Banished is rather grim, slow and not exactly easy, but it will be on list of those dedicated to genre, I'm sure of it.
Your third position is also my third position, and it seems to me it's criminally under represented in other SteamGOTY lists.
Y'all ought to play it and edit your lists, like, right now.

Just booted Ubuntu since quite some times, latest Nvidia driver for Linux is pretty good. I'm really surprised. Gaming on Linux really have come a long way. Dolphin for linux also run exceptionaly good. If we see SteamBoy in one or two years, I'm quite sure we will see near perfect Wii emulation on handheld size.

I have a feeling OFDP will be my GOTY 2015.

I'll be a year older tomorrow. I welcome the old age. Once step closer to yelling at kids and clouds.

1982 is the best year.
Yeah, looking back at my g4wl run it's almost a little embarrassing how much pointless grinding I ended up doing. Hindsight 20/20 and all that.

Also, come on, Squeenix, time for a Steam release:
The game still looks better than 90% of curgen games...

I delayed my descent in the battlefield for the very same belief, but when I did I actually found a much better environment compared to my previous FPS experiences on CoD (both PC and X360).
My suggestion is: warm up for some time in deathmatch (or arms race, or demolition) with the voice chat DISABLED (those modes aren't teamwork-based, so no communication is needed) and when you start to feel comfortable with all the various weapons quickly switch to competitive, now with voice enabled.
Competitive is just a bad name for "ranked matchmaking", and while it has the downside of temp-banning some behaviours (like, if you log out in the middle of a match you get 30 minutes of ban - but it's a fair penalty, considering you'll leave your team with a bot for the rest of the match), it also mostly put you in and against teams of roughly your skill level.
This means that at the beginning, your teammates will play bad, often worse than you, therefore you'll rarely receive all the customary insults.
And, when you rank up, you'll both see that people play with a more serious attitude with even less insults, and you'll just give zero fuck about the rare but unavoidable idiot.

Anyway I finished two games today.
The Fall: Play it, it's brilliant. Combo of The Swapper, a twin-stick shooter, some platforming and a point and click wrapped up in a brilliant story
Sherlock Holmes and the Hound of the Baskervilles: It's a hidden object game, play it if you like Holmes. Story goes completely supernatural, time travel etc... unlike the implied nature of the original story.

I have played 150 hours of competitive so there's that, but it's an constant annoyance, especially on upper levels ^^
I mostly don't want it right now because I feel sort of hung over hehe
Yes, yes it is.
Is there a website where someone can keep track of smaller indie titles? I hate to miss out on games that look like something I would play.
I went to Irkalla's devs twitter and saw another awesome looking game, Children of Morta. I want to keep track of these somehow.

Stuart Scott.....damn. RIP
I didn't think it was that difficult.....and then people started dying. I'm on year 15 currently and my OG settlers are now dying out and I can't replace them fast enough.

I'm 26 yo.
I feel so young. 19 here.
I'm 27. I'm getting better at games, but falling apart at the seams.
Striking balance in that game is finicky, if you overpopulate even a little your people start dying of starvation, or cold or diseases or go naked and without tools and if you keep population low they start dying of old age and any shifts in balance take time, if you overdo one side other side goes kaboom, any progression is never final, things change and usually not for the better, it's almost too realistic game
woo and indeed hoo

wow everyone is so much older than me
...and I'm so much older than 'everyone'
.Now that's more like it!
Hello fellow old'un! 49 year old here
.Well that's something for me to not look forward to then!
I just quit after driving my car into a fuel tank, losing 8 allies :/. Time to re-start from the very beginning AGAIN!
It was going so well too! :'(Bah! I WILL finish this game!
If I can complete XCOM EU on Classic Ironman I can do this too! I'll just have to cut down on the really stupid self inflicted deaths. Multiple really stupid self inflicted deaths.No you are NOT allowed to point at me and laugh!
If you don't behave I'll put you across my knee! You're not too old .29 here!

Damn. I didn't know that game was that hardcore.
Not sure if less or more interested now.

I just sent my Steam GOTY picks to MRORANGE
Man, I've only played six Steam games released in 2014, even though I've beaten more than 40 games this year :/

You know if I could get a steam key somehow ? I won a key back when he gave some away on reddit. It was posted in the wild and I downloaded it after using a legit key. I have no idea where I would find a proof of ownership now. There isn't a way to redownload it too. I'm lost, lol.
33, 34 in a few days.
Done! I'm 25.
I too have included it on my list. Still haven't submitted it in yet because damm there were just too many good games released last year. It's hard to chose mane.

Finally finished Assassin's Creed: Unity yesterday and saw the credits for Sam & Max: Ice Station Santa a couple of hours ago. I'm on a roll!
Unity is such a weird title. Truly astonishing how often that game switches between impressive and awfull.
When everything works, and i'm not only talking about glitches, it's (can be) better then ever before. Such a shame it doesn't work very often.
Sequence 7-11 where a drag. The story was uninteresting and felt stitched together, a problem I have with more open-world titles but Ubisoft's games in particular. The final sequence was suprisingly fun, though. Looks like they saved the best for last, so to speak.
A real anti-climactic ending, though. Not that I care. The character's where just there during the entire adventure, and some of them still where when everything ended.
But i'm not uninstalling the game. Paris is beautiful and can be a lot of fun to climb through. And I like collect-a-thons, so there's that. The whole initiates and app thing get's a bit in the way of truly enjoying the bar-filling, though.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
You know what would be neat? Take the number of steam games you have and divide it by your age.
