Steam community is the worst. Nearly every game forum would lead you to believe each game is the worst thing on the planet. The reviews and tags try way too hard to be funny. Haha guys I tagged serious game 78 with kawaii! Reviews started out okay but now it's a bunch of gimmicks like the guy with 2000 hours of Bad Rats or stupid joke reviews where people say random shit and end with 10/10.
Steam community is good about one thing mainly, and that's game fixes. Since so many players of most games are there, the community hotfixes these days tend to start around there, or you can at least have a pretty large sample size to search through to see if anyone else has the same issue.

I'm certain this is just click bait. They cite kddramastars a notorious blogspam site, and they simply say that they guy says "in an interview" its on PC and PC is the lead platform. No citation makes it a pretty straight forward spam of bullshit notice; also how no one else reports this stuff that they constantly come out with.
It probably will come to PC but this is the furthest thing from confirmation
I'm still waiting for UbiSoft to patch Watch Dogs so I can knock out the rest of the collectables and give a full over view of the game. So that will be in a month of Sundays then at this rate.
From what I've played of RE6, which is mainly Leon's campaign I haven't seen the criticisms that others have brought up. Though I understand Jake's campaign is the one most take issue with. The melee system though is sooo good it's hard to hate it at all. Plus dual wielding and the slightly tweaked Revelations style controls work surprisingly well.
And one more extras give away for tonight. Should be unused. Enjoy!

Yeah, a lot of them are very pointless. The jokes are dumb when people should highlight what works and what doesn't work (i.e. pointing out uPlay issues on Ubisoft games in hopes the company somehow listens and gives us the option to not run two clients).

And PS4 is back to "maybe if Bloodborne is good".
But otherwise... yeah... thanks Namco!
No it's not. There's Dual Shock placement. Which is superior, in my book.
Yeah, i'm not believing anything unless it comes from Harada's mouth/twitter.

Gods will be Watching is a really interesting game. Definitely suffering through it, at times in a good way and at times in a bad way. It seems pretentious and artsy at times, with this idea of "Hey, survival and torture and pain and decisions and pressure are SUPPOSED to stress you out and make you want to scream", which I admire greatly. These guys had a vision of making this game this way, and they stuck to it. On the other side, certain random % checks and elements of the gameplay are also in service of this "hey, in real life even if you take the safe route, you could die horribly anyways! Balance!" but drag it down by making it a chore to play.
At times, I wanted to drop it not because of the gameplay, but because the situations were actually so nerve-wracking that I just wanted to close the game and forget about it. This sensation that if I click this, even though I think it's the right decision, something terrible could happen, and I'm an hour into this scenario and if this character dies now, or if this turns rotten now, I can't deal with it.
Sure, having more forgiving or depending on your point of view, better designed gameplay could circumvent this problem and make it enjoyable to play and experience the story and scenarios, but I think that isn't the point of the game. I think you're supposed to want to turn it off and crawl into a hole and cry, and damn if isn't really good at that despite the gameplay "flaws".
It feels extremely deliberate in every way, down to the way they tell you not to play on Easy, but it's a game that will probably hated by many, confuse some, be admired by few, and enjoyed by none. Although that last part is the game actually being good, in my opinion.
You guys can decide if that sounds appealing to you or not. Those are my impressions so far (very close to the end), and I'll probably upload a video review tomorrow if anyone would enjoy that, I'll post it.

Which is why the rise of "it has x% positive / negative steam reviews" is baffling to me

IGN Prime giving away Skullgirls http://uk.ign.com/prime/promo/skullgirls limited time offer.
By the looks of it you can subscribe for a month for $6.95, get the code then unsubscribe at a later date. Seeing as it's £11.95 on Steam (guessing $15) this may work out to be a cheaper way for you to get it.
*edit* Ignore this, it's available widely for 2 keys on TFoutpost.

Was mini-ninjas ever any good? I sorta remember that as a Legos game before Legos games were a thing.

Provoking the torturers is useful because it spends a turn with only one of the two being attacked, instead of both.
I remember the buzz being that it was a decent and fun game but not worth full retail.

Spot on that's basically what it is.
That's probably a good description. It's pleasant, and solid. It doesn't do a whole let really well, but doesn't do anything poorly either.

Third chapter of GWBW is perhaps the most enjoyable yet. Instead of fucking you with an RNG, the management portion makes a lot of sense. I still feel quite under the gun with different pressures mounting but what the game wants you to do is far more understandable and there's tangible elements to everything that isn't hunting for context that might take you two or three fuckups to notice.
I will probably take a break here for a bit before digging back into it.

Has anyone played The Cursed Crusade? Impressions are welcome. I just saw it's on sale with 85% off, I don't know how I missed it monday. A very interesting price if the game is any good.

Hah, so my memory isn't that terrible. Think I rented it back in the day for the Xbox 1 and played it but it didn't leave much of an impression. I guess I'll pass on biting on that SE bundle then. Thanks!
Avoid it like the plague.
You are confusing it with I-Ninja which IMO is better game.

Eh, when money is on the line can you blame people for listening to a (terrible) community that says it may not be worth the money? Honestly, more demos should be released and Steam should hold said demos for more than a year. :/ Get people to try the game(s) out before going "oh well the community says it's bad so it must not be worth the download time/purchase..."
What is so specially bad about it? And what other game would you compare it to, quality notwithstanding?
I see people describe it as a hack and slash, but that can mean so many things.
I remember some people were trading it for one tour of duty ticket (around 1 dollar) a few weeks ago, so search on steamtrades and tf2outpost if you are interested.
Haven't played it but the game does not go on sale very often so may want to keep that in mind. It has some weird regional issues as well so i think that prevents it from being bundled. Bought it for cheap on Amazon a couple months ago just for the backlog.

How is everyone this fine evening? I'm pretty down. Gonna have to pay for a service tech to come out from the cable company and fix the set top box that isn't working... Really need a new bed, but life keeps getting in the way of being able to afford it. Oh well...

I don't know if it can, but I know it won't let you add a library on a network share unless that share is mapped with a drive letter. So, it's going to be a while before I even try it.
I'm older and melting.
Also, not mentioned yet, but the Shadowgrounds pack is 90% off on Steam, apparently.
Dude I can listen to ace of base on any game
Now i have "I saw the sign" stuck in my head.
-Combat is Shallow
-Story is boring
-Controllers dont feel responsive as they could be.
-The game is like 60% cutscenes maybe even more and the story is weak (It has some interesting moments sure but the writing messes up what they wanted to do)
If I had to compare it to something just for comparison I think The First Templar. It suffers mostly the same issues the game has and if I had to use a decent game Viking Battle for Asgard.
The game has some interesting concepts with the gameplay and the story but the execution of the game simply isnt there.

Not sure if it's been mentioned here, but I stumbled on this in the Trails in the Sky thread and thought that people that don't generally leave the Steam thread should see it:
Getting rid of the Uplay tag was a terrible thing for Ubi to do. It's like they want to keep it a secret, despite all of the warnings on the page saying "this requires Uplay."
I still think that the tags for Always Sometimes Monsters are the worst tags I've seen yet for a game.
I don't completely disregard the reviews themselves, though the percentage of positive to negative reviews should largely be ignored. There are usually a few Steam reviews that are good, but a lot of them are trash. Generally, the more in depth a review on Steam is, the better the chance is that it's worth paying attention to.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
So I just beat Final Fantasy III on Steam, though you can save at the end and go back and do all the side quests and unlock the rest of the achievements which I'll probably do because I'm crazy.
The last boss / last dungeon was insane. There are about 7 boss fights, with no inns or save points anywhere in between. I finally ended up with a Ninja, Sage, Devout, and Black Belt, all characters at level 59. My clear time was just a hair over 23 hours.
I can say that the remake is pretty damn awesome. I had never played this version before, only the Famicom original. This version was quite a bit easier, especially with it's "quicksave" function, but it preserved the spirit of the original version really well.
I wish Square Enix would hurry up and release the 3D remake of Final Fantasy IV on Steam soon.

Oh Ubi was responsible for that? Geez. I wish I could talk to these guys face to face and politely explain why people feel the need to tag their games. A Uplay issues post was on the very top page of Reddit when Watch_Dogs released haha.
The in-depth reviews are wonderful, I learn a lot from them usually.

Investigated:
So it looks like ModBot's cache doesn't have Xcom Enforcer, and when it tried to guess that "Enforcer" was a subtitle and just searched for Xcom, it got Enemy Unknown. Not sure why enforcer wasn't in the cache.
