Dark Souls NG+ completed.
Missing 2 boss soul weapons and 2 weapon drops from Anor Londo, and that should be it. So couple more hours, give or take.

 

[freshVeggie]

I was about a half-second away from beating that boss when I died. That's worse than getting demolished imo.

A couple days ago I watched a friend play Nuclear Throne. The game is very fast and you die very fast as well.
I don't know whether unlocked buffs and stages have to be unlocked every playthrough again though?

The reason I don't only game on PC.

Wow, this looks awesome. The more I play Dark Souls, the more I get interested in Bloodborne, hah.
Is there a new video for BB?

Daily
Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic (-50%)

I hear a lot of good stuff about this. Is the action like Mass Effect direct or more strategic?

new stuff from "coming soon"

:O Already? Nice!
Remember seeing a trailer for the first time of this just a couple weeks ago. Looks really, really fascinating.

VOTING OVER.
Estimated results: Saturday 17th January 9PM GMT

Probably was the last guy to send in votes, hah. Shy of two minutes.

No it wasn't.
It was solid enough to fill my ARPG void after I finished Dark Souls Steamworks beta.
Solid enough I was willing to do 3 playthroughs and get 100%.

It's definitely not a competitor to the souls game, but it's got a solid core (as much as I hate Harkyn) and was a good time; enough that it was my first 100% of 2015.

You played through it three times? And I was wondering why it looked the same lol

Most definitely.
Here's the text that will help you try, but I just tried to add the souls games to my wishlist and it didn't work out.

Very nice. I always wanted to add janked games on my wishlist.
Bookmarked.

Congrats!
I finally managed to kill Havel today woot! That ring is truly useful. Probably gonna try my luck in Blighttown before going deeper in the Forrest.
Also finally managed to level up Miracle from 8>14 and now I can use Astora Sword. First Magical Sword Weapon. Thrusting feels very good.

All right, I'm at 599 games owned. What should my 600th game be?

My exact face when I got to the first CG in Sakura Spirit and read the banter there.

This VN is just so silly I can't hate it.

You seem to own no resident evil games.
You should fix that.

GTAV!

soooo. theres an anime sale right now and im looking at the titles so i have to ask: is Killer is Dead worth the 6.76 bucks? i mean its a Suda51 game which is cool but it was panned by some.

Shadowgate needs more love.

 

[Parsnip]

Double Fine is teaming up with Nordic for a boxed copy of Broken Age.
That's weirdly intriguing. Would be neat if they made it a real oldtimey game box rather a lameass dvd case.

Thrusting feels very good.

I just checked your profile and it says you already have 600 games?

Lunar Pack from the new indie gala bundle still left here.

Might be a stray F2P. I have 73 but it says 74 because of Dota 2.

If you liked NMH you'll like Killer is Dead.
After playing it the panning on the game was pretty odd since on PC the performance issues aren't there. Also the gigolo missions are basically optional. Which got more talk than the game itself.

 

[Annubis]

So the first real boss fight in The Witcher is just dumb.

Spoiler

...until I find out you can OHKO the beast after stunning it with Aard, sheesh.

Protip: Put the creature specific oil/poison on your sword for most bosses. Raises damage by a whole lot.

 

[Maniac]

My, that is certainly a pretty looking survival sim there. Mmm, loving me some great looking survival games, whether The Forest & Stranded esque fidelity or pleasing aesthetics with a nice art-direction like The Long Dark... Mmm, sexy.

I'm not sure I had that at the time.

I thought F2P games didn't add to the game count?

 

[ANuclearError]

Which game count is more accurate, the one in your Steam community profile or your client's one?

LPs and Quick Impressions GO
My Let's Play of Cubot:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQXT8lEZGAo

Quick Impressions: Initially starts off as a standard cube-based transport puzzle, but quickly starts to seperate itself from the pack by implementing multiple cubes that have different properties (Double roll, reverse roll, reverse double roll) and color-based mechanisms that impede flow. The first four stages are easy enough and can be treated a lite tutorials even though it's definitely a part of the game. I'm a fan of transport/sokoban type puzzle games and Cubot exceeding my expectations. Nice chill game.​

My Let's Play of GoScurry:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=THjcrRuT4yg

Quick Impressions: Skill-based endless runner type. Turning takes a bit of practice to get right. There is this motion your ship makes when you turn that kind of works like a wave of sorts. The result is that if you turn just too early, even just a little bit, you'll fall off the edge of the track. But, if you turn late, like you're going-to-go-off-the-tracks late, you'll survive. It's not totally unfair, but it takes a bit to calibrate and when it starts getting hectic with the turns, it's very easy to lose. Outside of that you can control your boost (which I prefer to toggle on) and you need to jump and dodge out of obstacles that procedurally come in your way.
Music is good. Here's a gif of one of my runs.
http://i.imgur.com/jaLXm5q.gifv​

Cubot reminds me of a similar game I once played on my ipod. Stuff gets super complicated very fast -_-
Damn, GoScurry looks super frantic and got me on the edge even watching it. I can't play stuff like that anymore. I got old.

https://i.imgur.com/ovrwx.gif
Oh God I feel old :/

Happy date of birth man!

I believe MSI Afterburner would be recommended, though I tend to use Radeonpro instead for some games.

Thank you! I am using the framelimiter in DSfix but with unlocked framerate. Does give a little performance boost.

But for other games Afterburner looks good.

(1) Please don't encourage that stupid fucking question by answering.
(2) Related to (1); my list is expanding at exponential rates lately. Perhaps someone should make a community "IS THIS GAME WORTH IT?" thread to funnel all these wastes of time somewhere other than the Steam, PSN, and any other thread plagued by this inane bullshit. :lol
(3) Fair points. The game is definitely quality if you're into the sort of gameplay it has. I think I have one of my webms still kicking around, let me see if I can upload it.

I have no idea, I've always just used credits on them.

 

[BasilZero]

Have a question.

If you go to another country - would you be able to play your games that you bought from your original country in the other region?


I know purchasable games are region locked (?) but what about playing games too ;o?

Dang. Oh well thanks I'll check it out later when I can.

Depends on the games, unless you are from Russia (or other surrounding countries), then most games purchased from steam don't have runtime level region lock. And for the retail copies(steamwork), you'd be fine if those are bought from NA/EU, nearly all Asian copies are locked in some way.

 

[ANuclearError]

Huh, this is a neat wee fact. According to SteamDB, I''ve played an hours worth of time on Steam every day since joining. I'll assume that's a healthy ratio.

 

[maty]

Alright, finally done with Shovel Knight. Awesome game!!!



The Boss Rush with no upgrades and only 4 hearts was fucking hard. Especially Plague Knight and Polar Knight.

Thank you once again corrosivefrost <3


Now I'm wishing Capcom would release a NES-SNES Megaman collection.

I'm from US.

I'm assuming all my games are from NA lol - considering I've purchased all while being here in the US xD - through Steam or Humble Bundle.

Edit: There's runtime region lock? wat.....

I hope not...this isnt gonna be some short vacation either....XD

First off -- Impressive, sir.
Secondly -- You're more than welcome. <3
Third -- there's a lot of "classic" type games I wish would make appearances on Steam so I wouldn't have to bother to track down ROMs and stuff... after watching that NES Ninja Gaiden 1-3 Relay Race for #AGDQ, I want that more than ever; there's so many other games I'd want too...

Totally, there are so many classic games I never played. When I was a kid could only buy 1-2 games a year since they were all imported. I remember having only 5 games on NES and just a few more on SNES. Never owned a Sega console. Unfortunately I couldn't keep the systems.

If publishers threw their back catalogue (mostly japanese console games) on Steam, I'm sure they would sell very well.

Well, lucky for you , you can get that Sega Genesis Collection on Steam.
A lot of these companies have made collections for Gamecube and PS2 and PSP and so on... they really should just port them to PC.

Ah, well... a boy can dream...

That is a ridiculous feat. Well done!

Yeah, Killer is Dead is a special kind of crazy. I like it. Looks good and runs smooth too, which is always a plus, especially when there's basically no graphics options.

Someone gifted me one.

Does anyone own Rollercoaster Tycoon 3 Platinum via STEAM and are having crashing issues with it after approx. 5 minutes of playing?

Never had that issue. Used it on XP, Vista, 7 and Windows 8.
