So, what you have been playing when you left us for so long? just curious

Actually not much. Black Ops 3 and Fallout 4 mostly.

This year is gonna be real different to me, in terms of Steam and to some extent gaming in general. I plan on actually play through my games in my 992 games library and do my best to complete a few titles, if not throw them to the wayside and accept it.

I'm already 6 hours into Final Fantasy VII and is totally
sucked up into it. That haven't happened for a few years. I really hope it'll become the first Final Fantasy I complete. After that, I plan on finishing Undertale, or actually do it during my playthrough of FF VII. And then I want to finish off Life Is Strange.

My long-term goal will be to complete as many Final Fantasy games as possible this year. But I won't rush through it and I won't do it if I burn out. I would at least like to complete the story of Final Fantasy XI before it's too late.

Happy new year and here's to a great year with my fellow steamers.

Maybe I am ;_;.

First, you'll find yourself talking about dinos more than usual.

Then, you'll start thinking about how cool it'd be to have Snake in the next Smash.

Finally, before long, you'll find yourself buying games and then never finishing them unless they have dinosaurs or Snake.

The transformation will then be complete :p

2016 SteamGAF thread off to an interesting start I see. I'm looking forward to hearing about more games from Dusk Golem. Speaking of games Dusk Golem probably likes I managed to spend an hour playing SOMA this morning before it got too light out for me to continue playing. I'm really liking the way it starts off, super creepy and all that jazz. But it's definitely a game that needs to be played in a dark room.

Steam GAF I need ur help! How do you permanently remove a game from your account. Long story short my sister's stalker gifted her a game and she played it out of sympathy and now wants it gone realizing it is one of the underaged anime hentai/bondage games.

Let her embrace it.


Also, gift her this game.

I'll say this on SOMA, it has a lot of interesting twists and turns. If you want to post your thoughts as you go through, I'll be interested in reading. SOMA has a few rougher areas, but a game I think is completely worth finishing due to a very interesting narrative that begins to take hold, and some memorable scenes that may stick with you. Without saying too much, the last few hours of the game will likely stick with you the most.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.

I've been going back to Kerbal Space Program recently, and man, it's still so great. I just love the tinkering with a rocket until you think it's just perfect...only to then have it spin out of control seconds after launch. Once you finally nail it though, so satisfying.
This is the first time somebody have actually made me curious about this game. I'll pick it up in the next Winter sale.

I also just read the OP (nice one Mr Orange!) and I didn't know I wanted Oxenfree. Thanks for the description, that one goes on the wishlist.

When it comes to the winter sale, I ended up buying 55+ DLC/packs/passes and 160+ games eek.

For these of you who want to know who the murderer might be in the winter comic, there is this Reddit post which explains (with proofs) a nice theory. I cannot be the only one who felt that the ending was a bit dry.

I'm an uncle! My niece loves to help out with Europa Universalis 4, she picks the next colour on the map for me to conquer.

awwww :>

My niece is only 2 years old. I hope that Minecraft is still a thing in 4 Years or so, so that i could play a game together with her, that I understand and "get".

Pretty sure half of them are just uncles and grandpas that have this as the homepage and are afraid to close it.

Yeah, it's really trending. No wonder Microsoft got pressured to replace Microsoft Edge with the Steam client in the upcoming W10 update.

What. That doesn't fit remotely the description. Don't delete Nep-Nep, wtf! It's a fun game!
I think for many people it could be the best rpg out there, but that's thrown out the window when it looks like its just a bunch of big boobed anime fix. Definitely wouldn't want my sister playing it...

So did cool cats come over?

I am pleased to let you guys know I'll be posting even more about horror games and underlooked niche games maybe no one but me cares about to a further degree in 2016 than 2015.

I will make you all embrace the horror.
Yes. Please do this. Appreciate it.

This reminds me, that while I'm doing a playthrough of Final Fantasy VII, I'm also doing my first playthrough of Resident Evil: HD Remaster and it feels so damn good. Can't believe I'm so enthralled by a horror game. I used to be a wussy. Not anymore, cause now I have started eating carrots.

On Neptunia, I know where she got mistaken.

In the first Neptunia game, this scene happens fairly early in the game.

I can see how one might get that impression it was a bondage hentai game from that, but it's just a sort of lewd parody JRPG game. That said, if not for her, she certainly can get it off her account.

Has 1C pulled any of their games from Steam recently? I was wondering why Faces of War was no longer available for individual purchase. IndieGala still had it on sale, but it was annoying to see it suddenly removed from the Steam store and no longer available for purchase during the Steam sale with my Steam monies.

Back when I was young, I thought horror wasn't for me, I was a scaredy-cat, through and through, and the possibility I could even like horror didn't process for me. I saw a scary movie once on TV, and I had nightmares that plagued me from it.

But there were a lot of signs I secretly deep down did like it, I was just scared by it. I always liked Halloween, I always liked cool monsters in movies, when I was younger I liked Scooby-Doo, Courage the Cowardly Dog, Goosebumps, etc., among other things. I just mentally had blockaded the possibility that I like it out of fear.

Ironically, Resident Evil 4 was my first game that I played of horror that I loved, and I followed up with REmake, which settled it for me. REmake can be scary and challenging, but pursue and you may find a side of yourself you were unaware of before.

Wish you luck, and also look forward to hearing impressions.

Curious, It's in the steam bundle but is the only game with "N/A" next to the price. Is there some licensing deal they're renegotiating perhaps?

Closing the redundant Steam Community thread and making a mega thread on gaming seemed like a great success. It was an excellent experience meeting new people, discussing niche game choices, and having a generally good time.

Looking forward to doing it again for the Summer Sale.

Hmm, I'm actually thinking of getting No One Lives Forever 2 on disc tomorrow. Found it used. And I already got the first game, I just need to make it run with a mod without visual glitches.

Yep I think it worked out especially when it slowed down for the members who couldn't handle the speed.
