Claire now has a Steam Store page. Releasing in 4 days.

Should hit Early Access when it releases, have a release discount. A 2D survival-horror game I've played an hour of the alpha of, and thought it held a lot of promise over half a year ago.

New Steam Launch Trailer for Claire as well.

That looks a lot like Lone Survivor! Very cool.
 
What is Abyss Odyssey?
Abyss Odyssey is a Fighting Game - Roguelike - Platformer Adventure

What does all that means?
Fighting Game: Where your hero characters AND enemies have very varied move sets.

Roguelike: Where the world, enemy encounters and even which power ups you will find are all unpredictable

Platformer Adventure: Where you will help Katrien explore an abyss full of traps, pits and the Warlock´s nightmares.

Source (Will also be on the OT)

Officially on my wish list now.

for 2 players it sucks cause it divides the screen in 4 no matter what

Ohh, that's interesting. I just kinda assumed that it was all on the same screen, not split screen segments. That might actually be a bit small on my TV as well, I'll have to see what I think about that. Thanks for the info.

Ugh the left click of my old laptop fucked up and now I gotta either look for a mouse or click with the touchpad. -_-

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 think the term you're looking for there is "procedurally generated".

Guys, please do not buy this game. I have probably played more of it than any of you, and it's not worth the headache.

Why oh why can't we have a decent tennis game? As far as sports games are concerned, I would've thought that capturing and nailing the mechanics of tennis would be among the (relatively) easier things to do... Given the general popularity of tennis, it feels like an opportunity missed somehow.

Serena Williams Viral Illness Simulator 2015 please.

Im just quoting from their website sir.

It's all good, that's what I figured and I'm not calling you out personally. ;)

It just kind of cements the theory we've had around here lately that even the game devs don't know what the term "roguelike" means anymore.

If the first Virtua Tennis was still a thing and was on Steam with multi and all that, I'd Kafelnikov your asses so hard you all would be paying your games ~60% cheaper.

Why? I say it is worth whatever headaches GFWL might cause.

I'll tell you why. First, it often resets your ranking because it saves it to a file rather than the server. Second, no one's playing it anymore. Third, the people who are playing it use varied shots which is ridiculously OP.

I was ranked inside the top 100. The game can be very fun, but just to blindly recommend it, I'm sorry. I feel qualified to make such a judgment, and you're certainly qualified to disagree with me.

Dragon's Dogma is often requested around here, but I would kill for okami.

Apparently the ps3 HD port is phenomenal.

Too bad I already played it to death. I think I played through the entire thing in less than a week with over 50 hours of total playtime. Still get nauseous when I think about it. :/

Ah, you're talking about online multiplayer, I can't say anything about that. The VTs were always offline or couch mp games for me.

Yeah, I'm not sure I want to do it all again....but I probably would x_x

I feel like it's a major accomplishment that Google now knows what Enhanced Steam is:

I like the style of Ballpoint Universe, but I'm confused about its use of a mouse rather than a controller. I mean I know it's a PC game, but an option would have been nice.

I think part of the issue is that even sites like wikipedia or steam categorize games like that. It confuses everyone and eventually many forget what they actually meant to say. Look at some games that call themselves RPGs simply cause it has some vague elements of RPGs they are not really RPGs but having a small hint of the genre already seems to be accepted as RPG.

Oh damn congrats! And they are right, I won't want to miss these features cause they are too damn great. Thanks again, amazing that Enchanced Steam came from someone right here in SteamGAF.
 
I'm sorry guys but Okami was boring. It went on far too long.

It was. It was 3 damn games mashed into 1. Which made it feel like it was wrapping up and you were going to hit the climax versus a final boss any minute and then... surprise, the game keeps going and you're sorta at a new beginning.

Between that and the friggin' gobbledegook making me play with no sound, I am not a fan of Okami... I want to try it again someday without the gobbledegook, but alas, I currently have no hope for that.

Do any of our genre names mean anything anymore?
