Five Nights at Freddy's just looks horrifying. It's not enough that every web celeb on YouTube's gonna make a dog and pony show of it, the concept itself feeds on bad memories of Chuck E Cheese from the turn of the millennium. I'm not sure how much more complex it'll be compared to, say, a Slender game, but trying to avoid malcontent animatronic robots from the false safety of a security console sounds interesting. Here's hoping they port the app to Mac and Linux should it take off.

I remember Jim Sterling's commentary about the trailer, and honestly I sort of agree with the implied point that the enemies look creepier with the costumes. The costumes are actually sort of unsettling and creepy.

I wish DOA was brought to steam, I would've bought the game for the plot.....................

Age 99 plot

 

[aku:jiki]

Ok, so let me understand this: these visual novels are only about romance?

Or is there something more?

Many of them are about random depressing things too, but there's generally no reason to read them over a good old-fashioned book. Essentially, it's all just "because animu."

(I actually have read a number of them despite my trolling of the genre. I even own a physical copy of Kenji Eno's Real Sound!)

I would've bought DOA xtreme volleyball 2 as well, played the first game and never got the chance to play the second.

Paint.NET > Photoshop. I don't have to do gymnastics to get a transparent background when I remove stuff from an image like you do in Photoshop.

I own DOAX 1, but I've never played it. I picked it up when I was going nuts picking up Xbox games, but never got around to it.

[BinaryPork2737]

I'd honestly buy it if it somehow made it to Steam because I need to have something similar to Wave Race in my life now.

Wave Race, it's been too long

I think me, dot & Seaklng are kickstarting an Alpaca Ariana game... It's going to be.... strange.

They'll have to make the sudden loss of costume more threatening, I think. If the robots are actually powerful and can kill you in one pass, then the costumes are just icing on the cake. This would make the most sense if, unlike in most Slender games, instant contact didn't mean instant death. I'd like to be able to at least block a first strike and get away.

 

[Tellaerin]

This is why I rarely post in here. Too much random. I get that you guys know each other really well now, but this place is pretty much just a Community thread most of the time with a few Steam moments here and there.

Please don't take this the wrong way, but what Steam-related news has dropped recently that people should be talking about now, but aren't? There's ongoing discussion of Steam-related subjects here - even this alpaca craze started because of news of a VN coming to Steam. What would your ideal Steam thread look like, exactly?

I think that's one of the reasons why I prefer the monsters in something Amnesia to Slender. Enemies are way more menacing if it takes multiple hits to kill you instead of an instant death. There's a more sudden sense of having to defend yourself in Amnesia than in Slender, to me at least, although the only real defense you have in either game is running away/hiding.

 

[YianGaruga]

Seems like a lot of people liked the speed and randomness of the sale thread and decided to continue with it in the regular thread.

The main thread was always a bit on the OT side, but we mostly got back on topic relatively quickly and it was definitely possible to follow topical discussions. Now, the thread is more about the people of "SteamGAF" and gifting/recieving gifts and circle-jerking and random shit. Pretty much a community thread/chat. And there's nothing wrong with a community thread, as long as there is another one which can be used for the purpose of talking about other things. Right now, everything is drowned in noise.

 

[AngerdX]

Tetris!

Well i can´t wait for the new one to come out tho, so if i had that yeah i would play the crap out of it.

Damn i feel old now, even tho i´m not atleast i keep telling myself that.

Any amount of agency is preferable to that part of GTA III where the cops bust you even though you're armed to the teeth with an M-16 and ammo (not sure if it's any different in V, only just beat III).

We're not even supposed to be going this fast, usually. It's just that 'Murica's holding a bloc party and it has alpacas.

this thread has been like this sicne ive known it for almost a year

the running joke that nobody plays games didnt come up because of the sale you know

It's going to be great.

 

[zkylon]

It's still surreal whenever I go to find an old post I've made in this thread through the "who posted" option and not seeing Jase at the top of the list. We've still got a lot of regulars posting, like Rhaknar-sama, Arthea, zkylon, Salsa, etc. though.

Good luck on that exam.

awww you thought about me <3

posting this again...
any tips for Rogue Legacy?

I was reading that I should focus on one specific branch?

I didn't see this answered, but yeah. Each class plays pretty differently, but the first handful of classes you get (Paladin, Assassin, Barbarian King/Queen, Archmage) are relatively basic compared to some of the others and a good way to learn to play the game, get used to the physics, etc. Each life gives you three random classes-- if you only have four classes to choose from, you're more likely to get a class you know and are familiar with. Plus, you'll get more out of gold spent on stats everyone uses (health, attack, equipment weight, etc) instead of, well, some of the outlying unlocks.

The non-core classes are all great in their own way, don't get me wrong, but hold off unlocking them until you master the basics.

no fun.


You have to let some kinds of personality in or else it would just be reduced to media releases.

posting this again because i'm a lazy bastard :

second area is the forest (right), then the tower (up) and the darkness (down)

to get more money either be lucky or go farther than the last run really, learning the enemies patterns and how to position yourself is 80% of the job, by the time i finished the game i got hit once every 3 rooms and i had life leech (+ health drops every once in a while) so i pretty much was full health most of the time
if you're beggining try unlocking the hokage first, it's the class that will get you the farthest since it has good base damage right out of the bat (left area in your skill tree)
also get a vampire rune, helps with the survivability a bit

 

[GodVegeta]

Well played.

 

[Rhaknar]

on Rogue LEgacy. make sure you do a few (a lot? I did a lot) money runs.

As in do a run with the solo purpose of getting the max money possible, choose money gear and perks, and just go to every room in the first area (the easiest) and clear it all.

then buy upgrades and if needed do more money runs.

Barbarian and assassin seem to be the most highly-regarded classes around the internets. I prefer barbarian, the massive HP makes a much bigger difference than any other class trait IMO.

I don't know the exact path through the tree, but the upper-right quadrant of the castle holds an unlock that lets you reroll your characters. That one's a good one to go for ASAP, as are the gold-boosting upgrades. More money now means more upgrades faster!

and what are reasons of playing games? just curious

What, my personal reason for playing games?

Another random FFXIV screenshot!

 

[zkylon]

i always felt like the otness was a big part of the charm of the steam threads, specially since we're always like buying more games that we can play anyways

maybe it's a bit unbalanced right now after the sales craze but it'll go back to normal eventually and whining about it every two posts isn't really helping

i guess posting something like this doesn't help either so imma just say FIST OF AWESOME is a great name for a videogame

Another random FFXIV screenshot!

man why do they keep making subscription based mmos damnit

i just wanna play with the character creators

i wish they just sold those separately or something

 

[Arthea]

what is playinjector? I'm talking about this bundle
http://www.playinjector.com/

anybody knows anything about them? Is it legit?

 

[Rhaknar]

not entering but nice of you pizza dog. clearly you are the best dog

also, loldevs being lol:

"The keys are only for the Groupees bundle as that is the ONLY bundle where keys were ever offered. At the time that IndieRoyale offered AoSX in their bundle, there was no Steam version in existence, and it had not even been added to greenlight. Desura copies also do not come with keys, as they were never offered either. Retail puchases also do not apply

Please refrain from posting any more topics about keys, the issue is closed for discussion."

well thanks!

not that hes wrong, but many devs have included keys in bundles that pre-existed greenlight. so fuck you Suguri devs o7

I like the screenshot but don't use imgur for game images, really bad compression. Try flickr or minus. Abload is my favorite but its in German and not worth messing around for most people.

[phoenix296]

How often does humble do their bigger bundles? I didn't buy Rogue Legacy because as a fool I thought it would be in a bundle. Now I'm regretting my decision.

 

[Rhaknar]

sware to god every day I remove 1 item from my wishlist and add 10, I cant help it

Stained looks pretty
