yeah some levels have you starting at different locations (i think there's only 3 chapters that work that way)
the forced coop is indeed a pain in the ass especially with no drop in but they really made the game with coop in mind, the train level with the cannon just blew my mind when i played it and there's a ton of other stuff like that, not to mention the multi seat vs and the spider tank/vs merging
and you're right, the plot makes absolutely no fucking sense because it's just stories of different crews that meet in the last chapter, there's an overarching thing but it's very light and doesn't help a lot
i didn't mind since i mostly played lost planet for its gameplay but i can see how it might have bugged some people

Well there is only one solution, and that is to stop using antivirus software. Take some risks in life
The lack of focus on the story was a huge negative for me. I didn't have access to the interwebs or people to play with, so co-op was a no go for me. The different Akrids were great, but single player experience was just really off putting mainly because the story was barely coherent. Perhaps I'll also pick this game up again just to see how it plays. Its been awhile, and those webms really make me want to play it again.
listen to this man, until I played them Artifex Mundi games, I thought I didn't like hidden object games, but AM games are great, in fact they are adventure games with lots of puzzles and hidden object part isn't obnoxious and even more! you are given choice to do it or not at all. Also I like how their games look.
I'm not buying it until it leaves EA, but I was eying it for some time, it seems nobody on steamgaf played it, though.

Gee, of course Humble stop screwing around and starts giving out good tiers after all the summer sales end. Glad to own OOTP and CSD now.
I need to coordinate my finances right now...no Bethesda deals today!

I'm pretty hyped for CSD, just because you all are so insane for it!
No we all hate the game with a passion, we just like giving our money to Grubs.

only 25% in the quakecon sale ?
why not 75% ?
will it go cheaper this weekend ?

It does work well in what it does and they guys I played with we all played Left 4 Dead together as well as Rainbow 6 Vegas so were used to gameplay driven co-op games but it something didn't feel right and I'm not sure if it was the dumped-in-the-midst-of-things (I'm not using in medias res
) that was a bit jarring. Like RE5 and Dead Rising 2 it's at a time when Capcom had a good focus on co-op (which a lot of games are now starting to focus on again) but the other 2 you could at least play on your own and the story was at least somewhat cohesive. If it wasn't for the P2P nature of the online, folks in here being spread out across the globe and asides from me and you about 4 other people own it Lost Planet 2 would be a good choice for a SteamGAF co-op session.Hahaha I was thinking Spring-Loaded meant the =3 variety of pomf! but we've had enough anime game shit-storms here the last week anyway.
I played about 2 stages on my own and it's soul destroying how lifeless the game felt without human players. Maybe it's because my mates are of jovial nature and can't go 2 minutes without taking the piss or having a laugh that can make even dull games seem fun (certainly livened up Borderlands). But that should be part of your design 'It's better with friends!' A game should be able to stand on it own two legs as an experience in any of it's modes. If not then criticism is fair game.

If you care about stuff that's been delisted from steam, the Saints Row IV child's play dlc (along with all the other dlc) is on sale at amazon www.amazon.com/Saints-Row-IV-Child´s-Online/dp/B00H8Z22OC/
Although it's included with the game of the century edition.

Sounds like a Razer ad.
Been playing this game frequently lately and been enjoying it. I can see myself coming back to this one for a while longer.
ESO is considered to be extremely mediocre. Likely the game isn't going to see a return in investment even if it did launch on Steam.

A pitch with nothing tangible to show for it yet can be a riskier proposition for the backer, certainly (which is where some element of due diligence comes in), but the actual end result isn't inherently inferior or "unsuccessful" in comparison to a Kickstarter project that sought extra money to improve a game already under development.
The biggest gaming Kickstarters are generally born with Kickstarter, and as such naturally take longer to develop and release, particularly when their ultimate funding amount greatly overtakes their original funding goal and leads to a more ambitious game.
Broken Age, Project Eternity, Wasteland 2, Torment 2 - these were all conceived in tandem with their Kickstarter pitches. Broken Age already released its first half to a good reception and its lengthy and still on-going documentary is widely acclaimed; Wasteland 2 has been in Early Access for a notable amount of time and used that to adjust and iterate extensively, is clearly a full game, and is seeing a full release this August; Torment 2 is being developed by that same company, and is in the process of transitioning from pre-production to post-production and moving most of the WL2 devs over; and Project Eternity has consistently released highly detailed updates, is tentatively scheduled for a late 2014 release, and is releasing a backer beta next month.
It's puzzling why you choose to focus on some perceived lack of merit with the many KS gaming successes - which the vast majority have been so far if we're gauging success by completion and release - and not focusing on the minimal amount of outright failures within the parameters stump posted. That's the real story. Almost every game pitched on Kickstarter in the past year or more with a notable funding goal that met it has a) been fully released, b) is in on-going development but in a playable state through Early Access or other means, or c) puts out steady updates and delineates its development schedule. The complete failures get a notable amount of press and tend to overshadow the significant amount of Kickstarter titles which have calmly seen completion and release.
Yes, wait for the 75% daily

I thought that too....and then I tried to come back to it after a break.
It was bad.
Happy Birthday dude!
How is the Dishonored DLC anyway? Still haven't played much into the game but it always interested me, and at 5$ each for the both DLC, I thinking I might end up just buying the game again just to get both DLC if they are worth it. Really gotta give this game some quality playtime someday.
Yeah like today is Dishonored day, tomorrow will probably be Elder Scrolls or Fallout day.

The big franchises will have better dailies.
The others... probably not.
Still, wait for the last day to buy things that aren't a daily.

Yeah, if you want Hidden Object games, go with Artifex Mundi. I'd reccomend either of the Nightmares from the Deep games if you dig ghost pirates (1st one) or HP Lovecraft (second one), or Abyss: The Wraiths of Eden if you want a hidden object / point-n-click causal adventure game set in a shameless knockoff of Rapture from Bioshock.
Oniken is great. Anyone looking for Strider-like goodness should check it out instead of that remake dreck!

It's easily worth more than that. It's a challenging, addicting game that I can't recommend enough.

But with the cuts from steam aren't you essentially only gaining $0.02 after resale? A more interesting way to mess with the system would be to buy cards in bulk from an American server, gift them to a British friend and sell them that way due to the exchange rate being much better.
As an experiment check how much http://steamcommunity.com/market/listings/753/282800-Marc (Foil) is in USD it's £1.03 here at lowest price, which is $1.76.
If you buy it, you have to get all of the achievements in Universe Sandbox. Those are the rules.

Guys, in the mood for games that focus around european folklore. I know of Year Walk, any ideas beyond that? I know it's vague but I've been reading some Mignola and I'm in the mood.
Wow, CSD is really really good.
Chubby, I know you can't actually use this pictures due to IP laws, but make/order something like this and use, use, use it to promote the game.
It's the best ad for the game I've seen used ever since that Recettear one.
Oknytt is swedish folklore.

Damn, trailer for that looks perfect man, thanks.
I wish more of SteamGAF would check out Year Walk.
great port but uses GFWL
You'll have a field day in this thread then. Razer, Razer peripherals everywhere.
Truth be told I've ditched the soundcard from my latest setup and have gone back to DAC, amp, cans and it's sooooooo much cleaner. Get that audio signal out of the interference box that is the PC. I wonder how many folks still use front panel audio?

It's one of Capcom's great PC ports. If you care about local co-op, the game doesn't have it natively but there's a fan made tool that enables it, and it works perfectly.
