Has anyone here played The Assembly in VR?




I bought the Steam VR version to play with my Rift, but it won't start on my Rift. Just get it on my tv screen. I haven't had this issue before. Usually Steam VR games start right up.

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.
I somehow missed that Kingdom Rush Frontiers released on Steam yesterday. I've played this on Android and it's a pretty great though really simple tower defense game. This version looks to have all the micro-transactions that plague the mobile release removed from it, just like the original did when it released for PC.

Also, owners of the original game should receive a 25% off coupon the next time they launch Steam.

Highly recommended.

I don't really like We Happy Few, from what I've played on XB1 and the bit on PC, it just isn't doing it for me unfortunately maybe after it's closer to release I'll give it another try, might get a refund on Steam and get Quadrilateral Cowboy.

Well...



¯\_(ツ)_/¯

So the Opera version last got updated in 2014 (I assume because about two people were using it) but still works, guess they got me back.... or not, right click + scrollwheel = change tabs still doesn't work on every page, same as in Chrome. Can't use a browser without that so no ES until Mozilla unfucks their shit.

From what little I've read, We Happy Few does not seem to be getting a good reception =/

No it does not, thankfully it's in EA so there's still some hope since most of the gripes I hear about are "simple" balancing issues but we'll have to wait and see the end result.

I think even they realized for Happy Few that putting in resources into a story mode with its interesting world would be the better bet as things went along. The
Amountnt of people hyped with the Xbox one demo at E3 and then let down when they heard it was going to just be a survival gane during early access was crazy. Overall this is what early access is for. To see the reception and fix it before a official release.
 
Seeing unclaimed keys in Deques' raffle makes me sad, especially when there are ones I've played in there. Come on, people!

Paranormal State is a good campy game.

Nightmares from the Deep is great.

The Samaritan Paradox is excellent (although one person who I recommended it to really didn't like it at all, so your mileage may vary.)

And they're free! What more do you want?
 
When did Steam refunds get so fast? I placed my refund request like an hour ago and it's already approved and pending.

Getting approved is quick. It's getting your money back that takes time.

The whole process is getting faster, in fact. At least from my experience. Refunding took several days last year, but it only take about a day nowadays. I refunded stuff last week and I got my money the next day, usable.

I got a lot of enjoyment from the first Kingdom Rush. The 25% coupon is nice too, but ehhh...I dunno.

Played a little over an hour of HEADLANDER.
Seems pretty cool so far, really enjoying how it looks and plays.

I'm still using the old FF ES. It's a bit busted in some places but it's better than nothing until Mozilla unfucks their shit.
Anyone an insider on windows 10?
I am, but I'm not on any insider builds.

Okay, I grabbed Paranormal State because I already had the others.
The dude in the banner sort of looks like Jensen Ackles.

Yeah, kind of, but Paranormal State is an actual tv show about ghost hunters, so those are representations of real people. Some are fine and some are creepy, but just roll with it. It's pretty fun.

Does that work with FF48? What version number, where can I still download it? jshackles halp.
FF48 doesn't seem to be in the release channel just yet, so I don't know. Merge from beta to release happens like a week before the thing is out on the normal channels.

Oh, it's based on a real show. Had no idea.

Welp, played an hour of Marvel and thankfully had no issues everyone else is having. Only issue I had was that the resolution wouldn't change. It would make the sound that it would change, but it stayed stuck at the lowest setting. Otherwise, it played great and I had a real good time.
 
This sucks. The power went out just as I was browsing GAF. Been almost an hour now. Now I'm imprisoned with all the other unfortunate souls in mobileGAF. And I forgot to charge my phone. Ugh.

Hope y'all are having a better day than me. Game in my name.

I'm pretty sure Headlander is the best Double Fine thingie in a long time. And i really enjoyed Broken Age.

Great game. Lee Petty should lead more stuff.

From the videos of the Broken Age stuff, it was interesting to see Lee Petty express his ideas and then have to reel them in to fit another vision. He was walking a line of bursting creativity that would lead to some serious feature creep and realizing (perhaps bittersweet) that he could only potentially flavor a direction and not choose the direction.

He was professional about it, but there was a palpable sense of him wanting to take-the-reins on something.

Playing steamgaf favorite Contradiction now... man this is pretty damn good, done the first 2 hours and I'm wrapped up in this. Jenks' facial expressions are gold

I wish it would go on sale, I'll stop being cheap and buy it one day, but for 50% off I'd bite now.
 
Enjoy, friends.

I've been waiting on it too. Sure, it's only $10, but Steam has sort of ruined me, in that I will generally only buy games if they have some sort of discount. Even 10% I'd probably buy it, lol.

Just got back from a trip and was going to add Marvel Ultimate Alliance 1-2 to my wishlist but man those reviews. Looks to be a bad port. Anyone here buy it and not have any issues?

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.
For Enhanced Steam firefox users on v48 and it won't load:

Can you try pasting this into the console (F12 -> Console tab) and then try refreshing the page?

localStorage.setItem("steamID", true);

This should at least resolve issues with the store pages. Let me know if it works.
