I downloaded the 48h trial but haven't started it yet, will dedicate a weekend to it soon. I do keep hearing good things about it from people who do play it.

Well, I think I can sum it up best with three words from the trailer.
"Undies only mode."
You think 3 games is bad, try balancing out 10+ games that you randomly switch back and forth between >_>
I just noticed that there is 25% coupon (ALIENI-SOLATI-ON25PC) that works for Ultra Street Fighter IV Upgrade (credit can't be used with it), but as it's 25% ... it was too tempting for me to pass.
oh, don't worry about that I play something like 100 games at the same time, just DOS and Banished were top priority (><)

Wanting to get back into street fighter (my last one was 2 on the SNES lol), with the IV Arcade steam version.
How fucked am I without an arcade stick? Is it viable to play with a regular controller (have ds3/360 and Wii U pro available for my pc)

I'll be making a more formal request for admins/facilitators tomorrow morning to help with games night. This games night idea has become really popular and it's getting harder for me to do on my own. If we want to host multiple/different games, I'll need help from others. It would be especially helpful if I could get some admins from the EU/ASIA timezones to help me with games night. PM me here, or on steam if you're interested in helping me set up game times for the group.
I tried to give it a shot, I really did. The art is nice, I especially thought the art for the little meadow you can visit early on was astounding, but the writing is just terrible. Like all poor writing that thinks it's good, it uses more and bigger words than it should to attempt to sound smarter than it really is, and it all sounds like a teenagers desperate attempt to sound intellectual and articulate. It's unnatural, stilted and robotic and carries an impenetrable air of shallow pretentiousness.
It bears repeating, though, that most of the art is really nice.
I can't play most fighting games with controller, and Odin is my witness, I tried. For some reason I have no issue playing DoA with controller, but any PC fighting game is no go and as I don't have arcade stick too, I stick to keyboard controls, especially if I can customize them, and usually I can.
Then again, I'm not good enough for competitive fighting gaming, so you can disregard of what I said (><)
I'm usually in BST, but am in EST at the moment!
But I'd love to help if you need someone!I reside in Taiwan, but I am a native English speaker. Does this require for you to actually play with them or just help set up?
oh man, you are so deeply maximalist, so "the world is black and white" person, that it makes me almost sure you are teenager yourself, no offence intended
edited: again just curious, can you give example of good writing (in games), in your opinion?
Gayest game ever made? They're gonna have to work pretty hard to prove that!
...Holy hell.
Not too sure about SFIV specifically, but I know people play competitive fighting games with Dualshocks!

It would depend on the game you want to host. The way I've been doing CS:GO currently, I've created a lobby where everyone joins me and then we find a server using public matchmaking. Once we have servers of our own you would only need to facilitate a time and moderate the server.
For games like DOTA2 or Starcraft II you would need to create a private lobby and allow gaffers to join you.
I don't play MP Valve games except L4D2 but I'm always up for any other game.
I'm mostly interested in Payday 2 but I'm also looking to play Rust, Chivalry, Garry's Mod/TTT etc
It would also be a good idea to set up some MP matches for cheap bundlegames that most people have, like Blade Symphony

Dota2 matches with Spectators would be interesting.
Why? It's free, it's popular, it's free, it has survival, and did I mention it's free?
I volunteer to cast
We should pvp and everything. When the big map and 64 player limit comes out. Yeeehaw.
Been playing Deponia Complete and really enjoying it. Game is beautiful, voice acting is great and Rufus is my favourite type of character - the fuckup who causes the problems he eventually tries to solve whilst fucking things up for everyone else. I'm 1/3 of the way through the first game so there's a hell of a lot to go but it's got off to a great start. Scroll wheel inventory works really well too. Well worth the ridiculously low price it's available for from the ruskis.
IDK, I'm most likely missing something vital here, but as I said earlier, I don't see appeal at all, I mean like zero, nada, zilch, almost as much aku sees in VNs. (><)

Far from it! Beneath this forum exterior of troll posts or faux-rage posts about bad games, I'm one of the most easygoing and compromising guys you'd ever meet. It's just that I've been gaming for 25 years, have played tens of thousands of games and spent 5 years working full time as a reviewer. I've come to demand a certain level of quality in a game, and "good enough" isn't good enough for me anymore. I can be flexible, of course, and who cares that the story in Gears of War doesn't make any sense? That game is about chainsawing aliens in the fucking face. VNs, though, are all about the text. If that's not good, what's the point?oh man, you are so deeply maximalist, so "the world is black and white" person, that it makes me almost sure you are teenager yourself, no offence intended

My go-to example for good writing, of games I've played this year, is Thomas Was Alone. It's humane and touching, and manages speak volumes without saying too much. The script constantly and consistently makes me smile.
As one of my favorite non-gaming examples, this is the entirety of the best story in the world:
"For sale: baby shoes, never worn."
Then what other multiplayer game that is easily accessible to everyone, in bandwidth, monetary and library, is there on Steam?

You dont like Unturned? Sometimes a bad game could end up being fun as hell with the right people.
Is that for us Euro folk, a US code or Voucher Code sans Frontiers?
DOTO?
just kidding!
I don't believe it's about standards, it's about attitude and perspective. Also it's genuinely funny, that you perceive yourself as easygoing (><)
Well, you pick a good example, but you do understand that Thomas Was Alone is other type of story entirely, not really comparable. VN wouldn't work with such a story, you know that.
Gears is terrible, btw (><)
it worked for me, so Euro folk is definitely welcome to this code
Asia here +5 gmt, i could help tho don't have the best internet right nao.
That's why we should play obscure multiplayer games with little skill required. Like Viscera Cleanup Detail for example.
I laughed too much of this. This is how crouching looks in tps in Crysis 2.
WTF
Good thing it's morning here and I have all the time to forget this gif before going to sleep.

I agree. Valve games require too much time or skill for someone to be slightly decent in them. There are many cheap or obscure games that you can just mess around and chill
Ahaha, the hi-res screenshots thread won't ever be the same again.

Or Magicka. Ultimate Chaos in MP games are just hilarious.
You dont have to be an expert in the game. Basic skill/knowledge should be enough. I mean you learn and get better with frequently playing.
How do you get to play this? Is it accessible from the menu, or do you have to do something random on the table?
And yes, Trilogy Arcade is amazing. Controlling the lightsaber with the joystick is great, and I loved the space stages.

Extreme parkour.
Two games stand out in my recollection, YMMV of course.
Vagrant Story and Mass Effect 2 (Thomas Was Alone is good too). Of course each is about on par with something from a pulp novel, leagues below writers like Vonnegut, Stephenson or Lem. But then, no one should expect great prose from a game.
Incidentally, that Cinders screenshot you posted has a grammatical error (excessive 'A' at start of the third sentence), so as much as it pains me, I should agree with aku:jiki - Cinders (and most other VNs out there) need an additional editing pass.
hold on a sec...
there is 30% voucher that should work with that
0J6TL4-KDGHYO-O7AW3K
I haven't tried, but it should, as DS2 is one of the games this voucher is for. Full list:
Dark Souls 2
GRID Autosport
Pro Cycling Manager 2014
Sniper Elite 3
Spintires
Valiant Hearts - The Great War
it's madly tempting, but as I not gonna play any of those any time soon, I can wait.
only these are about to expire, so if you gonna take advantage, do it soon.
unlike most of you, I don't give a damn about errors if text is comprehensible. People make mistakes, I make them too, a lot, in fact, so I'm understanding and forgiving.
also... even if I haven't played ME2, I played other two games, and I just can't believe that ME2 is so much better. Not talking about quality of writing techniques, but about content, because that what matters for me.
I'm in Asia too right now - is a 512 kb/s connection good enough to play dota?
Though I guess times will be a bitch.
