STEAM | January 2015 - Steam GOTY results: Delayed

People joke about EVE Online being spreadsheets, but EVE has nothing compared to Football Manager. I should point out I started playing 2015 today. FM was my gateway drug for PC gaming.

For you.
i just can't find myself enjoying it with the mess of weird weapons

i'm guessing it's fun for someone else, but the simplicity of tf2 and it's lack of unlocking shit were some of the things i liked most about it and now that both of those are gone (to some degree), it just turns me off



what do you mean scummy horror?

You can play TF2 damn well with the vanilla weapons alone.
 
This is pretty much the only one you need. It stays relatively close to the vanilla experience while ironing out some of the stuff that just wasn't very user friendly.
k cool thanks

not that i know of

complete mod is as its name says, it has like a billion modules with everything you'll want, from textures to sound to lighting to ai to drivable vehicles

wait wait wait, DRIVABLE VEHICLES!? LEZGOOOOOO

i just really dislike seeing a lot of stuff that i don't know what it does

i bet tf2 is a great game for tf2 fans that keep up to date with every update

but for people that don't if it didn't abide by the rule "getting shot is bad" then it would have moba levels of burden of knowledge lol

wait wait wait, DRIVABLE VEHICLES!? LEZGOOOOOO
yea and they're clunky old russian cars that drive like shit

it's awesome :>

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
The sports of American Football and ROW Football are derived from the same sport that, incidentally, was a lot more like American football than what soccer is today.

This and other fighting words are available in my new book, "The Pageantry of Pedantry."

This is true. TF2 was more fun before it fully embraced being a free-to-play game.

Of course, my favourite server was populated back then, and is not anymore, which might be influencing me a bit...

I've read a lot of dissatisfaction about how Hi-Rez handles their free-to-play games, especially after they release a new one. It's a cycle of abuse, where they make a decent game and then slowly run it into the ground while trying to eke more money out of the playerbase - culminating with the devs all but abandoning it when they release a new game.

Note that I haven't actually played any of their stuff, but I'm certain longtime players would share this view.

FM has always been a super popular series, and one I'm completely addicted to. It's a very deep and brilliant game.

Indeed, Dimitri. FM is the most addictive gaming experience I've had/suffered, and this is from someone who has poured thousands of hours into the Civ series over many years.

I've deliberately had to go completely cold turkey with FM, for the sake of Real Life, and in order to see and experience what other games have to offer. I tend to live and breathe it otherwise - I worked on the data research for the Australian leagues for a few years, which was time consuming in its own right.

No matter how low the price ever plummets, no matter how good the deal, I must resist FM15. I must!

The people who make OOTP Baseball are making (or have already made, can't remember) a version for American Football.

In other news, I'm seriously considering pre-ordering Groupees BM17 just on the rumor that Cinders is in it, even though the last time I made a pre-order based on rumor the bundle was worthless to me.

i started making a league of legends pro team sim a while ago and left it there after getting tired of so much interface-work

no fun!

This is true. TF2 was more fun before it fully embraced being a free-to-play game.
not really gonna say it was more fun but i think simple is elegant and new tf2 is definitely not elegant :p

like you could say the same about league of legends but since league was always like this is much less jarring than when i remember playing tf2 compared to what it is now

So I've been playing some Inversion... It's really quite lovely, in my opinion. It's pretty, has a few nice mechanics and I'd never heard of it!

... And now I wish I hadn't. It crashes during every single loading screen bar the one when I resume the campaign.

Better yet, I've not been able to find any solutions on google thus far. Maybe I'll try and re-install it... :|

I don't think there is a solution. I haven't been able to find one for the constant crashes anyways when I played it.
It constantly crashed for me and it was infuriating and aggravating. At least I managed to finish it, though the end was just as annoying as the crashes.

Holy shit, I just noticed Enhanced Steam lets you pick any background of any game O.O

yeah but what if someone without enhanced steam sees your profile then. it'll look all ugly and bad! and it's only 10c tops for most backgrounds

speaking of profile backgrounds i'm quite happy with the one i got from always sometimes monsters

did i mention always sometimes monsters is a great game you should play? specially you cheese?

Guess what I'm gonna do? :p
I've got to be honest, I don't generally like that type of game but after the alleyway scene (which made me quit the first time) the game does get more interesting, I just wish it had better pixelart.

That is pretty nice. Want.

the blue line thing at the bottom is weird though

i tried different backgrounds and it seems to be present on all of them

sounds like a job for enhanced steam to fix!

pixelart is kind of crappy but really who cares :I

Looks nice. Simple. Peaceful. Hmm, actually I own that same background, but I don't use it because I'll stick with Shaundi.

As for the game it was...not fun. BUT it was not fun in a good way, kinda like Papers, Please. If you don't like to have fun when you play games, ASM is a solid choice.

It's their newest game, yes. There has yet to be a replacement.

Which is kind of a scary thought, since Smite has absolutely monstrous potential. Any word on whether they are going to bring it to Steam? Or is it big enough (or they are treating it as such) that they can forgo Steam to get that sweet 30%?

Yeah, that bar kills a bunch of backgrounds i really like =/

You should had posted something worse then, how's your sense of self and unique doing? =P

I knoooooooooow, I'm so far behind with it! I got it a few months back thanks to Asgaro, but I just... haven't been in a very big game playing mood. Work was ravaging my will to do extracurricular activities through most of 2014, and now I'm just in a mode where I won't load anything up unless someone invites me to a co-op multi game.

I'll put it on the short list, but I can't promise anything~

Wait, wasn't it on Steam before? I honestly thought it was already... Weird.

But, as you say, Valve's cut is probably a big reason why they're absent. Even games like Elite: Dangerous avoid the Valve cut, and it isn't even free-to-play/microtransaction-based.
