As someone who pumped probably 150ish hours into the series so far....I agree. More or the same.

Yes, I was actually buying exclusively from them before their changed their pricing policy. Had spent over 200 euro on the GMG store before the whole DoW II mess happened

What is this?:
This is a time when SteamGAF can get together to play CS:GO. We will be playing casual matches, players from all skill levels are welcome!
When we are playing: Estimate Time
What we are playing:
We are playing public matches through the casual matchmaking system. Due to the limitations of the party system there are only 10 spots available in the party. After the party is full, we will be placed in a public server where anyone can join the game.
How to join us:
At the designated time I will make another post here announcing that we are starting. Add me as a friend on steam and through the main menu join the same game that I am in at that time.
In the future:
If we have enough consistent players, we may consider setting up or renting a server for drop in drop out gaf matches.
Come join us and have fun!
These type of things are always best before the general public catches on.

Hmmm, I guess that makes us hipsters.
LTTP on trade offers, what an improvement. Also Creeper World 3 is absolutely bitchin'.

Man, those old Pong consoles were the best. Video games have been downhill ever since :/
I spent about $180-$200 when I was working, vs $30-ish of stuff bought with playfire credit and they still banned my store account. I just think it's standard MO to ban everyone from the store too, now (which is fair).

Puzzle Agent 1+2
You play as FBI puzzle agent Nelson Tethers, who has been sent to a small snowy town called Scoggins to investigate a factory closure and a missing persons report.
The gameplay was clearly inspired by the Professor Layton games: While you progress through the story, you have to solve a myriad of different puzzles. The puzzles are all their own little mini-game, so there is no need to go pixel hunting in this point and click adventure.
Sadly, some of the puzzles are fairly simple and dull: rotate some tiles till they fit together, arrange shapes so they make sense, etc. The more logic-based puzzles can be quite fun and a couple really engage your brain, I wish they implemented more of those instead.
The game has a very distinct art and animation style that you may love or hate. Personally, I thought it was charming and fitted the typical Telltale humour very well. The voice acting is spot on and I really liked the sound effects as well.
Where the games really shine is in their atmosphere and story though. Scoggins is painted as a nice little town at first, but you soon realise the sinister truth behind its facade.
What's going on with those "hidden people" only crazy people seem to be able to see?
What's the brotherhood of Scoggins up to?
And how do astronauts fit into this story?
If you'd like to know the answers to any of these questions and aren't too put off by a bit of dull puzzling, I highly recommend playing the games
Both games are quite short, you can complete them in about 2 to 3 hours each.
I was a really big fan of the first Puzzle Agent, so much so even knowing the solutions I played it 3 times (twice on iOS and once on Steam). Did feel the ending was a little rushed and didn't have a patch on Layton for some of the polish shown in that series but was really charming, especially finding out why all the residents of Scoggins have literally gone mad. I kind of gave up on the second after about an hour. I'm not sure why but some of the puzzles just weren't clicking for me. Must get back round to it some day. I don't know what the likelihood of any more entries in this series but it has a fair few fans.
Infact, I did not think about it, but yes, there is "obfuscate". It is just that you have to be careful not to upload the image without scribbling over the bits.
Nice. I'll have to try this out. Cheers.

yeah.. allegedly you get 46403 if you preorder which seems to be the ROW package
bit iffy tho
People are just too big of chicken shits to stand up for the things that they like and enjoy and can only jump on bandwagons when things get popular. I remember importing Guitar Freaks and other Beatmania games on the original playstation and people calling me a nerd, then 4 years later DDR and Guitar Hero flare up and all those same people acting like it's the greatest thing ever.
As Grief said, pretty much everything I ever like gets turned to shit by the mainstream populace and I've come to accept that, I just hate being called a hipster when I liked it 4 years before they knew it existed because I actually enjoyed it and wasn't just trying to be a contrarian so I could get likes on instagram
It'll be ROW until it's not, just like witcher, mordor, sacred 3, etc. Any preorders which are ROW are in certain danger of getting locked.

Fair point. I've kinda come to terms with that too. Although with things like kickstarter, the stuff that got worn out from being mainstream always has a chance to come home.

You really should try it again, it's not that long and there are some really nice twists and explanations ahead
not really tho cause the witcher 3 doesnt have a specific Russian sub with restrictions
this game does, altho so far you get a different one, but the fact that it's there puts it in a bit more iffy situation than something like the witcher 3 IMO
but what do I know

Sent a friend invite. Not sure if I'll be on at that time, but I wouldn't mind some games. I'm terrible, btw.
I finished up Murdered: Soul Suspect this morning. A friend recently picked up a new AMD GPU and chose it as a reward so I played it via sharing.
It had good ideas, okay execution, and was a fairly contained experience. It took about 7 hours to finish and I wouldn't have wanted it to be longer. If you want to collect everything add on another hour or two I'd guess.
There some very light combat that's more of an annoyance than anything. It's a big budget adventure game and it feels like someone on the money end realized that and forced in some combat because no one dares make adventure games on this scale. There isn't very much of it. The game sort of feels like LA Noire without the gunfights, driving, interrogation, or scale.
I recommend it when it gets cheaper if the idea of an open(ish) world adventure game appeals to you. It feels like it should retail for $30 to $40, not $50.

It's the worst when I have a ton of games I want to play but popular discussion makes me want to add a game to the ton. Shovel Knight looks so good. But damn it, I have a bunch of Summer Sale games to get through.
Liking things before other people do does not a hipster make, otherwise I'd have to wear douchey clothes and whine about how much better LLTQ was before anyone else played it.
Hipsters are defined by their (insufferable, twattish) attitude and being utterly full of shit.

Sorry to bring up the metro skin spacing thing again in grid view, but im having a slight issue;
I've changed the "interiorspacing" value to both 00 and -1, and it works if I move the grid slider slightly, but any time I close steam and reopen it, it resets and I have the big gaps between the grid icons. Any ideas?

My approach is only buying during the Summer/Winter sale. It's a great method but difficult to adhere to.

Yeah definitely plan to at some point, even as just a change of pace to other game I've been engrossed in recently. That and I think I need to make my 0.1 hours played on Steam a little more substantial, plus the lure of achievement in 2. Which is a bit odd the first never got any as they're on the iOS version, I think (unless I'm going crazy?).
I thought you were talking about sorting out a SteamGAF L4D server at some point. Granted that would probably go horribly wrong after a day.

I'm in the same boat about Shovel Knight. But I figure I have a ton of games to play right now and by the time I get around to it the game might be on sale. No reason to buy it before you are ready to play it if the game is full price.

That's just how it works. So long as it adjusts properly when you move the slider then you're golden.

I'd be okay with switching the games up every once in a while. I'd have to look up the logistics of how to set it up in each game though.

Oh neat. Too bad it doesn't have any other games I'm interested in.
Yessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss.
The idea was to get a dedicated gaming server up and running and we could put whatever games on it, not sure if people were willing to fund it - plus timezones.
