I forget who but someone gave a recommendation for Hunted: The Demon's Forge in the Steam sales thread as it was just a little over a dollar. Describing it something as Gears of War but playing as a scantily clad elf with a bow. So, okay, I got it, and I played through it.
It does have a cover system, one that I almost entirely ignored, but otherwise it was as advertised. Very scantily, very elf, very bow. It's a game I wouldn't recommend without a heavy caveat because it is so, so rough, but it was charming as it felt like I was playing something out of the late '90s that somehow got made in Unreal Engine 3. The animations and combat almost had me feeling like I was playing Rune. I had fun with it, and I got my bottle of Coke's worth out of that purch.

Oh, looks like Driver San Francisco was the -1 for me.

Ah, finally a real Steam Community thread (as opposed to that other thing that gets created during the sales that I barely post in or follow)

I bought HackNet during the sale and I have no clue what the fuck is going on
I have zero cs experience

Counter-Strike may be notorious for hacking but I don't know how much that experience would transfer into playing HackNet. :3
The way I did it was by removing all the stickers on the background that's currently in use and saving it that way.
This worked, thanks.

where?
An error.
The games are not removed from this library. As these people said:
You are still able to download the games, it's just that they're not available in the community.
Looks like I already have it on my whistlist.
The length seems perfect for me. I guess I'm sold.
I would strongly recommend playing the Trails in the Sky trilogy first, as the Cold Steel games (especially CS2) spoil a few major twists from the Sky games. (plus Sky is even better anyway)

Finishing up Watch Dogs. Jordi is my favorite.
Don't judge me.
Don't judge me.
uh, is Trigger Happy Havoc similarly gross, or does it deserve to stay on my wishlist?

After being tantalized by the talk of Titanfall 2 during the pre-sale thread, I managed to snag it last week. The game is something else. There is just an incredible sense of freedom in the mobility the game gives you, I just love being able to get around the levels in a myriad of intended and perhaps unintended ways because it just plays so mechanically sound. I'm only 4 or so hours into it so far, but I've been very very impressed by it -- and entirely unimpressed by the Origin client. But at least it's not as bad as Bethesda's launcher.
I also can't believe this game is on anything resembling the Source engine. With just how gorgeous and silky smooth it is it must be as modified as the Source engine is to Quake's.
Between this, Doom, and Prey, it's been a a real renaissance period of the genre for me since things were looking pretty dire for a good few years. But oops I guess Prey and TF2 are going to end up martyrs.

It released mid summer sale, not surprising.

Why's that?
It has 2 teenage boys forming a bond of broship while shirtless and in the sauna iirc
Such things are minor scenes tho; the main plot elements are rather whack

Opensub was removed yesterday, it's impossible to buy it now.
First game has one weirdly blatant moment (involving a character that's wallowing in grief no less) but for the most part it doesn't get nearly as grody as the other two, though as far as anime games go, the series is usually surprisingly tame about that sort of stuff, though it does slip through.
Ultra Despair Girls on its surface seems to want to lampoon the creepy lolibait and fetishization of children of the genre, anime, etc but also comes off largely hypocritical about it given it gets pretty leery about its 15 year old heroine (and the previously mentioned moment in DR2).

After 40min and two hard crashes in Just Cause 3, I managed to actually play a couple of missions.
And this really is worse then JC2, isn't it?
Not feeling any of the vehicles, or the combat, and it it feels like it looks worse then JC2?

You wouldn't happen to be using an Xbox One wireless controller adapter would you? I had blue screen crashes with JC3 that I eventually traced to the wireless adapter, I plugged my controller in with USB and it worked fine after that, don't know if they or MS ever fixed it.

I thought it was pretty good. Some of the levels have a ton of detail and looking through them is entertaining because there are all these cute details and funny animations going on. Sometimes you have to interact with objects to make your targets visible. I think it took me about 6 hours to get through the base game and they just added a few more levels at the end.
If you have an iPad with a larger, high res screen I'd get it there otherwise go with the Steam version.

Nah, I'm using a XBOX360 joypad with wireless adapter.
The trick is to not do that. There's areas with better loot (cities and some bigger buildings) which means you don't need to loot for long. These are also high traffic areas, it's likely you'll see combat right after landing.
That said, there's obviously slower rounds, and sometimes you will be popped off from far away without being able to do much about it.
Moving over an empty field being so dangerous is part of the tension that makes the game great, especially when you survive/get away with it, but the slower pace won't be for everyone.

Any info about a change to Steam restoration of deleted games?
Why would anyone delete games from their library only to restore them sometime later?
I mean, that's just another redundant work for the customer service. They could just disable the deleting games feature entirely and nothing of value will lost for both party.
