Psh, you're a day late to that one.
Yeah, I just fixed it seconds before you posted.

At worst it would be Skyrim with super awesome graphics.
CITY GUARD: "I used to be a Witcher like you, but then I took an arrow to the knee." (x1000)
These are the categories I made for the nearly 500 games I have.
Action RPG
Action/Platformer
Action/Puzzle
Beat Em' Up/Brawler
Dungeon/Rogue-Lite
Fighting
First Person Action/Adventure
Multiplayer/Arena Shooter
Music/Rhythm
Puzzle
Racing/Driving
Simulation
Sports
Strategy
Third Person Action/Adventure
Traditional Adventure
Traditional Shooter
Turn-Based RPG
Unique
Traditional shooter refers to arcade style shooters either horizontal, vertical, or combined. Multiplayer/Arena shooter is a game like Orcs Must Die or Broforce that I really couldn't find a better name for. Puzzle is a puzzler without action, something like Tetris or Lumines in which you don't control a character. Unique is genre-bending stuff that wouldn't fit other categories at all.

Seeing a thread about how you can beat the Alien Isolation without killing anyone reminds me of one simple fact, every game needs a hug button. Perhaps the xenomorph just wants a hug, Ripley never thought of that now did she?

With superior facial animation and voice acting.
Bought Abyss Odyssey anyway Couldn't resist.
Digging it so far, the movement is kinda clunky, but the fighting is adequately fun.
Though, I'm ashamed to say I'm getting my ass handed to me in the Moderate/Hard levels, I just feel like I'm not controlling my character well, or the enemy just attacks without restraint sometimes. Ouch.

The developers for Max: Curse of Brotherhood really get off on killing the player. It feels like stupid irritating design. And it's kind of twisted because the style of the game is like D-tier Dreamworks kids film and you play as a kid who just fucked up but now he has to pay by dying like 500 times due to bullshit obstacles preventing him from repairing the damage he caused.
Where's "Metroidvania?"

That's a lie. I've owned it since launch, so I couldn't buy it.
$186 BILL CREDIT UNLOCKED.
This means that we are officially past the 2 months of negative bills threshold, people! This is absolutely absurd and I can't thank everyone enough for all their help in getting here. Without further delay, here is the current scoreboard:
I want to highlight the following members of SteamGAF for this round of contributions, in order:
tiny raptor flies like a big eagle, dropping a code from his mighty talons!
Mono has shed the mantle of Stereo, being the first to join the three-code-club!
CorrosiveFrost has used his corrosive magic, melting and yet somehow freezing and shattering the locks into the 2-timers club. I am basically writing fanfic now god help me.
Toki767 becomes the vice-president of the three-code-club with an additional code!
Chocobro is quite the bro by contributing his extra code to the cause!
Jawmuncher munches up M&Ms and spits out codes being the third person to join the three-code-club!
BinaryPork2737 should change his name to TernaryPork2737 after contribution another code!
iosefe might as well call himself Iosefe of Arimathea because he donating, son!
You people are seriously, seriously amazing.
Niiiiiice.
Didn't need anything to drive that point home.
REAL. TRIGGERS.
After using these, I had 0 complaints about the DS3.
I still use mine daily instead of my DS4 for the most part.
Yeah, that part is unfortunate... not sure why Capcom didn't do it for all platforms.
Did you even finish it? (Not asking to be a dick -- your profile only shows 2.1 hours clocked -- did you play offline or something? Most people who beat it on their first run take around the 3 hour mark if they don't look for all upgrades, I think.)
-----
Restarting abyss odyssey with vsync enabled does make it work it seems. One of my knocks on it gone... at least my eyes can stop bleeding now.

What "genre" are games like Edge of Space, Terraria, and Starbound?
I originally put this category in there, but then I realized that there are so many indie games trying to be this that it would just be useless.

I have four:
Completed Games
Simulator Games
Garbage
Games (everything else)
It's an efficient system.
A hug button, and a "hum along to the soundtrack" button.
It supports DirectInput. I have to use BetterDS3 for my DS3 to work properly. Overall, it's a great port compared to the trash that surrounded it at the time.
I loved that Luigi hums along to Luigi's Mansion's soundtrack. More games should include things like that.
You will love Transistor.
Also, nobody replied to my question about the Japanese DLC for Tomb Raider.
How much is it? =p
(No, I just can't get there via the webstore, keeps kicking me out even with cc shenanigans)
I would classify any game in which building is a primary objective as a simulation. Even if it simulates something fictional or a concept. Animal Crossing is a simulation. Cook, Serve, Delicious is a simulation. I don't expect everyone or even most people to agree with my definitions, though.
the cuter she gets, the more evil she looks...
edit: also JaseC, first sharon stone, now jared leto...I thought you only used Saoirse avatars?
You missed the time he used a picture of Draco Malfoy.
Dedicated buttons that cause the MC to hug his best friend are better than humming. I would post a video link but right now I'm on mobile.

So I tried playing agricultural simulator 2011 because this game sounds amazing. However, it just freezes after the logos appear. Has anybody run into this problem, and know how to fix it?

The early Splinter Cell games are actually better on mouse and keyboard due to the fine speed control allowed by the mouse wheel. Much more accurate than a thumbstick.

Ooo, Halfway is releasing on the 22nd.

Someone should really make a thread for this game. It looks terrific.
And dat soundtrack
added to my wishlist. look like something i would love.
A Fish Aficionado
I am going to make it through this year if it kills me
I'd go gay for Jared Leto.
The xenomorph wanted more than just a hug. Alien is a parable about respecting personal space.

already beat you to it.
Some use the term Sandbox RPG or Sandbox Action, others have used Terraria-Lite as a joke on Roguelike/lite. Personally I place titles like those as Crafting, as that is the main focus.
There are real insects and parasites that exhibit the predatory reproduction of xenomorphs.
Sleep softly!
Timewasters.
Also known as "Wait, I spent the last 3 hours digging a stupid tunnel to nowhere? I need to reconsider my priorities."
I loved the humming in Luigis Mansion because it wasn't so serious, the humming in Transistor is a bit too...stylish for my tastes (but it fits the game).
Regular price is $9,99 , but it's currently 75% off ($2.49).
$2.49.
Thanks.
Bit much for an excuse to replay the game.
Guess it's not going to happen just yet, Lara.

I just beat the boss of Abyss Odyssey for the first time. In total, I played about 4 hours and thought it was pretty good. I plan to play as another character tomorrow.
It only took my second run through as the monk to get to a high enough level to just barely beat the boss on my first encounter with him. I expected to have to use campfire things and buy really expensive weapons to eventually beat him, to be honest. I'd say it ended up being a much easier experience overall than Rogue Legacy, even if you have to "beat" it in a single sitting.

$10 regular, but seems to be on sale for $2.50. Edit: lol, I'm such a slow typer.
You're missing out. Creating the perfect tunnel system to access deep underneath to search for rare materials or to create a shortcut through a mountain can be pretty addicting.

Hearthstone is really addicting.. oh my..
Never really been into card games before, but I'm having a pretty good time playing this one! Accessible and easy to learn!

If JaseC thinks you should JaseC, you should probably JaseC.

I want 33%.
I sunk 107 hours in Terraria.
Trust me, I know that of which I speak =p
Did the same thing in minecraft and sooner or later it got boring/too much to make a system of tunnels through infinite generated underground areas. Had some fun time being a dwarf though, tunneling into a mountain and making minecarts and stuff.
