You know the feeling when you look at your library in image mode and scroll and scroll and you know there are tons of great games when you look at the pics but you can't decide and you scroll and scroll and you get exhausted and close Steam and don't know what to do but then you get the urge to play a game that makes you excited like you were when you played games as a kid and you open up the client but you feel lost and I don't know.

lol what

What are you all playing currently folks?

ESO, but alone because I don't have any friends.

[MMBosstones86]

yea, which is why i always carry 2 freezes with me. northern deck is the one i use as well(thats the seige oriented one, right? cause thats the one i use), only have 2 leader variations i have no idea how to get more, but i'll most likely stay with the one i have (clear weather effects, that way i don't have to have a sunny day in my deck), maybe i'd try the variation that doubles the points in seige but like i said, got no idea how to get more

I run with the Clear Weather Leader as well and rarely use weather cards unless playing against monster team because fuck them.

Dandilion + some commander horns + that skill that 2x strength of like units = rekt. If you get lucky with your pulls you can do some serious damage especially when you get the hero cards.

Northern Realms OP.

What are you all playing currently folks?

Pro Cycling Manager 2014. Played by exactly 0 of my friends and only owned by JaseC only. Woot.

GOTY contender Clicker Heroes... because my tries to play something else proved fruitless.

Yes. Yesssss. The play times for Clicker Heroes amongst my friends is fantastic. I'm so proud of you guys.

I've played Clicker Heroes more than any other game since installing. I think I'm at 76 hours now.

I know that feeling well.

I just scroll through the library to see what games I want to play the most. Inevitably, I can list 10-15 that I want to play right now, and I realize I barely have the time to play one.

Should be able to wrap up Ori and Condemned quickly, then move on to other games.

What are you all playing currently folks?

Condemned
Ori
Xenoblade 3D
Counter-Strike

Rocket League owners: 509,812 ± 16,709

Looking at the graphs too, the growth is so incredibly steady too. It's just going to keep growing isn't it.

Awesome news.

I have it sitting on my PS4. I asked a while back but folks seemed to be somewhat split on it

 

[zkylon]

what often happens to me is that i have trouble finding the right game for the mood i'm at, specially cos i mostly have tons of srs indie games that are like mental/emotional draining so i often don't end up feeling like playing something demanding like that and it's not like i have many things to pick up and play for like half an hour and move on

been trying to make spelunky that game for me but not always easy

This reminds me of a book by Barry Schwartz called The Paradox of Choice. He argues that a multitude of decisions leads to overall unhappiness. One of the things I learned from this book is that the more you can narrow things down, the better. For example, you could use something like Depressurizer to organize all of your games into categories by genre. Now instead of having hundreds of games to choose from, you can instead choose what type of game you want to play.

Here's a TED talk he did on the subject, for anyone interested.

Yes, I do know that feeling. I've been doing that for the past couple of weeks actually. It sucks.

Pillars of Eternity. Loving the game so much, it's gorgeous and really fun. It's also making me want to play Baldur's Gate, Icewind Dale and Planescape Torment. Thank you very much zkylon for the giveaway!

 

[Hero Prinny]

OMG, this is still coming out (next year, apparently):



It has been in development since 2010, and it looks awesome. It's a Metroidvania mixed with Monster World, according to dev:



That was from the PS Blog article.

The game is now on Greenlight, so vote NOW!!

Edit. Damn, forgot to link the gameplay trailer:

what does depressurizer use to organize your games?

for organization i've created a category for games i should play and another category for replayable gams like spelunky

that's pretty alright for me

Steam still having issues? I'm trying to add all of my downloaded games back to the steam folder, usually it just starts discovering the existing files but at the moment it's just hanging on "Creating local game cache files"

Edit: Fixed this, had to make Chrome my default browser again instead of Edge.

Depressurizer can categorize your games in Steam based on genre, features (for example, games with Steam Cloud), tags, release year, and user score.

poor veggie just trying to get some friendly compassion and ppl are telling him he's mentally ill

 

[derExperte]

'I'm not in the mood' is just an excuse. Sit your ass down and start a game, any game, even if you think you don't want to play it right now. If it's good you'll have fun. That's how I got through almost 30 games in the last three weeks. Some were obviously already partially done and sure it's also a time thing but whining doesn't finish games. Playing them does. Btw closing in on the end of Marvelous Miss-Take.

 

[someguyinahat]

What are you all playing currently folks?

Looked into Coin Crypt since I won it. I might post impressions once I've gone through it a few more times, but just as a teaser:

The game's not early access, but I've played it for an hour and the game has crashed twice on me thus far.

Agreed, a lot of times i'll not be in the mood. But once I start it's all good.

haha. I believe everyone is affected by this. I had a huge DVD collection and trying to find a movie to watch amongst friends was impossible when you had that much choice.

 

[Parsnip]

What are you all playing currently folks?

After playing a bunch of non-steam games in form of handheld Castlevania games, I think I'm going to start Legend of Kay. 4 "metroidvania" games in a row was a bit too much.

Awesome news.

Indeed.

That sounds like a reasonable plan. Will try, thanks!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analysis_paralysis

Surprisingly fitting. Maybe Expert is right and I should just do it. Start a game and see what happens.

 

[MUnited83]

I've been playing Towns of Salem non-stop lately. Its so addicive!

 

[Hektor]

With all the issues, its not recommended to upgrade to WinX immediately?

Danganronpa.

I hope you do it right and play a stag-druid.

how is it?

I have it sitting on my PS4. I asked a while back but folks seemed to be somewhat split on it

I'm playing on PS4 as well because it was on sale. I've just started. It feels kinda clunky because you can only hold one item at a time and you have to run constantly since walking is very slow. And you have to up the sensitivity on everything. But I'll stick with it, it's looking like a slow and atmospheric puzzler. I'll give more impressions as I progress.

But after that I'm done with puzzlers for a while and I'm moving on to Woolly World

 

[Annubis]

Personally, I'd love to be able to make sub categories inside categories.
That way I could split each game type between finished or not yet.

 

[Couchaddict]

What are you all playing currently folks?

Splatoon.

I finished Attack of the Mutant Blob.
I really want to finish Dungeon Siege 3
I'm trying not buy Secrets of Grindea & Victor Vran.

I think I'll play WIMP Who stole my pants.

 

[WinterDemons]

What are you all playing currently folks?

Dark Souls, Clickers, started a bit of Ori, Duck Game

 

[fantomena]

What are you all playing currently folks?

Persona 4 Golden. Amazing game.

I need to finish Batman and LiS Ep4 soon though.

 

[Miguel81]

What are you all playing currently folks?

Batman Arkham Origins. Finished the main campaign, suffered through a day of 'WBID busy', and now back onto New Game plus and challenge rooms.

It does suck being indecisive when going through a list of games to play. Happens often in my case.

what i've been playing since the beginning of the summer, witcher 3 with some rocket league on the p4 every now and then.

 

[Jawmuncher]

That cross platform patch needs to happen for parties. I would love to play some rocket league with SteamGAF. Had a 9-0 game last night.

OK so

Yup, I know the feeling; it's why I don't play any god damn videogames, I just buy the damn things.

Good Lord. Good Lord. This TED talk is so painfully on point.

Now it makes sense why I had so much fun back as a kid playing at best "mediocre" games and having such a blast.
How are you people with several thousand games having still the same fun?

Such a good talk which I totally recommend. Gonna set up Depressurizer.
