So I've been trying to play hitman Absolution, but I can't seem to stop the game from crashing.

I'm getting the "has stopped working" message after a couple of minutes of play.

Any help would be appreciated.

What's with the odd tag changes that started happening recently on steamdb app history? Like for example Bayonetta.

y'all have been watching that Castlevania netflix show right :eek:

it's pretty okay
Nope.
Fucking hell, Tomb Raider Anniversary can be frustrating sometimes, but that tower section in Great Pyramid level is one of the most impossible and unfair bullshit ever. Seriously, i can't remember last time i was so pissed off by a game, who the fuck designed this shit? It highlights all bad things in this game, camera and controls are clunky and unresponsive, Lara constantly not grabbing right ledges and falling from cliffs, idiotic checkpoint save system, and those fucking time limits are way too strict! People may don't like TR 2013 and RotTR, but at least controls in them were fluid and never bothered me that much.
Git gud.
Seriously though, I did all the time trial achievements on xbox way back when, didn't really have an issue with how the game controls or anything. 🤷

So new client can display tags in library? (IDs so it can be translated for display)

It's just that SteamDB doesn't handle those particularly well. (Since tags seems to switch order all the time, it causes many changes).

Is steam client acting really laggy and slow for anyone else?

Yup, I think it started acting weird after the latest Windows 10 update, and a lot of the times I have to restart steam as games fail to detect it. I even formatted my PC from how annoying it became, and even that didn't help.
I don't think it's Windows 10.

I'm on Windows 8.1 and have been having the same problems for a few weeks. Restarting Steam usually fixes it for me.

EDIT: seems to be a common problem https://steamcommunity.com/discussions/forum/1/1291817837622177579/
 
I played a little Mad Max too, because you know why. That game runs such incredibly high framerates. It has performance that just makes me feel good to play. That and MGSV are such standouts in that regard.
I have such a fondness for really blocky and simpler 3D models. Especially with today's hardware you can have low poly look without all the negatives that first came with it.

I've been playing Middle-earth™: Shadow of Mordor™ and the game is very polished and the landscapes are beautiful, and the way the Uruk-hais chiefs keep fighting between is cool and add some dynamic to the game. One thing that I'm not a fan is the combat and I know I may be in the minority but it's the same problem I have with Batman: Arkham Asylum, I like the place and the exploration but when it's time to fight against enemies it's kind of boring like: *left-click* some times, another enemy comes to attack *right click* goes back to *left-click* then execute.

Overall Middle-earth™: Shadow of Mordor™ is a competent game, and I may end buying it but I feel I could get bored because of the combat.

Edit: I'm not even paying attention to the lore.

MDickie's Wrestling Revolution 3D coming to Steam

July 20, likely $9.99
Mh. I played a ton of Wrestling Mpire and Encore back in the day but it doesn't quite look like Revolution is less clumsy than those. Would've expected more of a gameplay evolution by now.
Might be worth a look though. You can do pretty insane stuff in these games. Playing career mode with a real-life mod and having wrestlers lose limbs from explosive items or be literally killed was really something else.

Game looks horrible as well. Is it a mobile port or something?
Nah, it's just dated. It's probably the same engine MDickie has been using for like what, 14 years?
edit: Oh wait, it was actually released on mobile. Still, it looks just like the older MDickie games.

XSEED is weird
Cold Steel got a store page with no date
Extella got a date but no page
And then Zwei has just the community hub
 
Long loading times at start up, some weird online login for my single player game, hard crashes, shitty performance no matter what settings I choose.

Oh, Just Cause 3, you're really want me to refund you, don't you?

Misread.
Did it get anounced by Gematsu, then?
Not sure what you're asking
I think I saw it first on Gematsu but XSEED also announced it on their Twitter

Tbf probably has to do that XSEED are handling the Cold Steel port while Marvelous themselves are doing the Extella one most likely

I think I downloaded a save file from the next checkpoint just to skip that section.

If the recipient declines the game, or already has that game, the game will be returned to Steam and the buyer will automatically get a refund.
According to this.
Don't know if that would have an effect on card drops.
As Yakkue has already said, declined gifts are automagically refunded. I don't know if the card drop time penalty is still a thing.

Thank you both. Hopefully I won't have any sort of penalty on the card drop rate.

Git gud.
It's actually pretty fun.

The core concept is okay, but it's very poorly implemented.

- Why is the UI so terrible for everything
- Why can't you save preferred controls
- Why can't you save preferred lineups
- Why can't you see speed stats in game
- Why is the UI for techcopy so bad
- Why is the UI for seeing what techs do so bad
- Why is the UI for setting techs so bad
- Why can't you save from the Blitzball menu
- Why is the Blitzball menu tiny and in the middle of the screen
- Why are leagues 10 games long
- Why can't you forfeit a game
- Why is there no prompt in the world to show that someone is recruitable
- Why does it not explain how leagues work
- Why does it not explain how free agency works
- Why does the game not count shots made before the buzzer but that arrive after the buzzer
- Why is enemy AI so bad and doing things that, for example, can't possibly work
- Why is it so slow and not affected by the speed-up function
- Why do you have to cheese the league/tourney prize randomization
- Why are there sometimes not available tournaments
 
I want a spinoff Blitzball game. Like a Dissidia universe thing where some super god shows up and challenges all the dimensions to a Blitzball tournament. Tidus' head will be in a jar and he will be the coach for Yuna's team.

I wish I was joking, and I promise I'm not. Canonically after FFX-2, Tidus comes back. He's hanging out with Yuna and they have a fight. Tidus gets mad and kicks a blitzball. But it turns out the blitzball is a bomb and it explodes. Tidus dies. Yuna goes to the farplane and revives him using special farplane magic. But then she dumps him because she doesn't want to be with him anymore. The end. Again, this might seem like a sarcastic shit post because Final Fantasy is dumb, but this is actually what the creators of the game wrote and intended.

Why kidding? This sounds like something from the people that wrote X. I find it remarkable for how much technical progress has happened in the last two decades, it seems as far as writing is concerned, video games peaked in the 90s.
