To the person asking for Dungeon of the Endless tips, I posted a small novel in the prior thread; too long to repost here.
Wow. Many interesting games I've never heard of, topped by After Reset. Thank you!
Which one?
Am I wrong for wanting to vote for Wasteland 2 for my GOTY even though I've yet to get to it? It's very existence is worth my GOTY vote, imo. It's the sequel I've wanted since 1988 (well, one of them).
Give me a proper Bard's Tale sequel with the production values of M&MXL and an Autoduel sequel, and I'll be brought to tears of joy.

Endless Legend.

The Steam mobile app is awful. I'm not even sure what the point of it is.-
Yes, so it counts! Dang, though I'm sure most others will remember to vote for it.
Did my duty as a SteamGAF member and voted. Huzzah. Here are my thoughts, which you can read or ignore at your leisure.
Honourable Mentions: Divinity: Original Sin, Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, Endless Legend, The Banner Saga
5: Wargame: Red Dragon - The RTS Genre hasn't had the best few years recently, but the Wargame series has stood out to me as an excellent example of the genre. Once you get your head round the complexities of the game, you've got a great RTT/RTS game with cold war era forces battling it out on land, sea and air.
4: Valkyria Chronicles - A shining example of how to port a game to PC, this was an unexpected but very welcome addition to my PC library this year, and excelled in many ways. Stunningly beautiful thanks to it's unique artstyle, I really enjoyed the turn-based/realtime combat.
3: Dark Souls II - Another excellent example of a PC port. There's real greatness in the Dark Souls gameplay, and that feeling of learning from your mistakes against an enemy to triumph over them is really something special. The DLC though really pushed this game into my top five, with fantastic level design and boss fights.
2: Shadowrun: Dragonfall: Director's Cut - Durante has rightly spoken about how this year saw a CRPG renaissance, and I feel that Dragonfall is the shining example of that renaissance. Sure, Divinity's got the best combat out there, but Dragonfall has a fantastic story and wonderful characters that you really want to get to know. I could just spend ages walking around the Kreuzbasar talking to everyone, before heading off on another run.
1: Transistor - Transistor is divine. It's an amazing mix of a near perfect soundtrack, jaw droppingly gorgeous visuals and challenging, flexible and rewarding gameplay that comes together to create something truly magical. It's one of video gaming's few tragedies, full of moments that'll stick with me for a long time, from the first scene right up until the bittersweet ending. Transistor is easily my game of the year.

I did, barely. Changed one of my votes to include it just before submitting.
I did forget a certain other port though.
I feel like I've forgotten many games I've played in 2014. Oh well, at least I remembered Wolfenstein is number one.
Same here! Nothing really grabbed me like it did. I do however have some shameful list of games I didn't play.^^;
I think we can unequivocally say that having two threads during the Winter Sale was an absolute success. Looking forward to the SteamGaf GotY controversy!
Regarding Half Life 3 comments from the other thread, the point I was trying to make was:
People say Valve only makes f2p "hat" games now.
The belief is, Valve's employees can work on what they want.
Therefore, for both of those things to be true, that means there is not a significant number of employees left at Valve who want to work on things other than f2p hat games.

We as a community will have irreversibly fucked up somewhere if Wolfenstein: The New Order doesn't win Steam GOTY.

Obligatory mobile app
I guarantee you Valve employees don't get to work on whatever the fuck they want. They would never actually finish anything if that was the case.

I'd make a list but I only got back into my PC gaming mindset two months ago. Got stuff to catch up on...

Can't wait to hear some impressions on Life is Strange. Definitely the 2015 game I will be interested in getting first.
First year voting me for - just got seriously into PC gaming last spring. My list -
And there is definitely one that's not like the others...it's just so much fun in local co-op
Game 5 (1 point) : Valkyria Chronicles
Game 4 (2 points) : Divinity: Original Sin
Game 3 (3 points) : Shadowrun: Dragonfall
Game 2 (4 points) : BattleBlock Theater
Game 1 (5 points) : Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor

Uh. No.
I really loved the second mission.
Outside of that? It seemed like a well made shooter, but didn't do anything I'd consider amazing. Especially when I factor in some of the more bullshit moments that did stick with me. LOL
And the real kicker? I generally like these games that use alternate realities/histories as settings... so I was kind of let down in the end. It was a good game... but it probably wouldn't even make a Top 10 list from me for 2014 unless I just ran out of *cough*Steam*cough* in the 8-9-10 area (which are currently blank because I didn't go back and fill them in yet).
Transistor falls in the same boat for me.
A game that's appearing on a lot of lists as GOTY and it wouldn't even make my top 10 unless I ran out of choices in the 8-9-10.
Strangely, for how disappointed I was with Transistor, it didn't end up being another Strider. Probably because I just had high hopes for a new franchise and they didn't pan out, rather than seeing an iconic franchise brought back into some shell of it's former glory.
You are a good and wise man.
Gold star.

I want to thank GAF for convincing me that Dragon Age 2 was going to be terrible - I ended up enjoying it more than Origins (although it's hands down a way worse game in pretty much every area). Lowered expectations FTW!
EDIT: Being a "Wait for a indie bundle/price mistake/sub 3€ price" person makes it soo hard to make a GOTY list, since most of the games I played this year were released in 2013 or earlier :/

Ehh. Not my #1. I played it on bone, so that might be the problem.
It's on my list, though, if that makes it any better.
I felt exactly the same way. I wouldn't call it a great game, but would give it a 7/10 or so. Glad I didn't pay full price when I bought it, but was happy at around the $20 I paid for it a few years ago.
idk, it's in the OP. Didn't know if it was true or not.

Um... Knurek did it, I followed suit, and so on and so forth?
But it's facilitating interesting discussions!
I don't think that's the problem. Ningen was running the game (until the final boss) on his toaster and having a grand old time.
This is always awesome... I think it's why I found some enjoyment out of Aliens:CM. I mean, I went in expecting a totally unplayable shit show based on the GAF/internet feedback and the GIFs and such. Instead I had a good enough time, especially in some co-op play with mr. lever, that I went and grabbed the Stasis Interrupted DLC.
There's a few more games like that, where if you listen to the general hype, or go in expecting something specific it can ruin a game for you. Hype ruined the new Strider for me, as I mentioned... It's not an overall terrible game... but I make it out to be generally worse than it is because I had a HUGE amount of hype for it... especially after seeing some of the stuff in the week leading up to launch; it looked like my fears were unfounded and it could be everything I'd hoped and dreamed for in a Strider resurrection, even if it was Metroidvania. I ran out and pre-purchased and in 3 hours or so found that my hopes and dreams were destroyed by this game.
I think there's a large list of things (for me, at least) where, expecting them to be worthless or... bad... they were surprisingly enjoyable instead.
Now the question is: how many are buying Steam + Steamy.
If I get a permanent spot on my job I might join the team tbh.

Reading the Greenlight synopsis it sounds like a simplified version of Always Sometimes Monsters.

Anyone have the games in the Carpe Fulgur Collection? Been thinking about grabbing it all day and I usually leave the final say to GAF. Yall haven't failed me yet. Unless you count Bad Rats. Still can't believe I paid to have that stain permanently in my library.
Reccetear is great.
I'm sorry you can't recognize the true beauty of Bad Rats.
PhoenixFyre

Is that a hint that the others aren't? The one I'm really interested in myself is The Two Sisters. But they all look interesting.
I try to find beauty in all things. In Bad Rats I found nothing but sadness. Tiny, whiskery sadness.
No hint, I just spoke for the only one I have played.

So with the latest beta update, is there anything that Fraps does that Steam doesn't do? Video recording?
