Man this is such a cool thing to see when you open Steam in the browser and didn't expect anything

Happy 7th Steamday to me!

Probably my favourite ES thing

Congrats, young'un!

Between Paranautical Activity, Tower of Guns, and Fancy Skulls, it seems like the roguelike first person shooter is in vogue right now.

None of the roguelike first person shooters I've seen so far look all that fun to play. I'd really like something that's like a cross between Quake and Spelunky.

I kind of wrote off CS:GO as DOA when it launched due to its reception by fans of CS:S and CS 1.6.

CS fans are loud, fickle, and ultimately short sighted.

It's best to largely ignore them.

I couldn't agree more with Steve. There seems to be a consensus among the louder, more vitriolic elements of the community (aka certain forums I won't name but aren't GAF or Facepunch, so no worries there) that if Valve makes something, it sucks, and BTW 1.6 is perfect, amen.

The CS:GO beta taught me why Valve is extremely selective when it responds to CS community questions, concerns, and demands.

Hey jshackles, couple of issues with Enhanced Steam (Chrome extension) on Opera 22.

First is I keep being logged out every time I go to check my Wishlist. Doesn't occur when I disabled Enhanced Steam. Been happening since 6.2 came out, I just keep forgetting to mention it to you.

Second thing is a minor issue of overlapping on a few games. Just Cause 2 for example

I had a similar issue but it's because I was using a 1366x768 laptop. Other screens were fine. This seems to be a more general issue with steam even without ES. For example the tags dialogue box appears obscured most of the time in a wonky part of the screen, often with the close box being covered so you can't do anything at all. #oldlappytroubles

Lumines really has to go on sale already, it's insane to pay 15€ for a 10yo game most of us already played!

Someone talk me out of buying Secret Files Franchise Pack, for example maybe not all games are redeemable on steam or maybe I don't wanna play it, or something like that.

Spoiler

please?

What about Wrack?

I've never played Quake, but Tower of Guns is quadruple jumping, insanely hectic, thousands-of-bullets-per-minute chaos. The game can get very frenetic, you need to constantly stay on the move and evading and shooting to survive.

Not sure on the issue of being logged out, but the overlapping tags has been an issue since they were originally introduced. It gets it's starting width from the first element on the list. So if the first item isn't discounted, and the rest of the items are, this sort of thing happens.

Guess I'll probably finally dig into the code and fix it if I can.

Man I hope CDPR hasn't been asked by one of the console players to make sure to have decent parity on The Witcher 3. I'm pretty sure they wouldn't do something like this, but people sell out all the time.

 

[Sammichu]

According to modbot these are some unclaimed games from older giveaways and some new too, as most games were unclaimed, no rules this time for real, not simply forgotten.

Got Cognition episode 2
Thanks Arthea!

They'll get asked, but CDPR have constantly said that the game will be best on PC.

80% off on Gamersgate for the pack is pretty tempting.

This can be groundbreaking if the unscripted conversation isn't cheap. Wishlisted

Spoiler alert, if it's made by some no name studio and is being sold as part of an indie game and not as part of a larger suite of computer communications tech, chances are it's probably pretty cheap and breakable. But within the limits of a directed narrative I'm sure it's serviceable.

You have no idea how much you just blew my mind. I had no clue we already had Lumines on Steam; since 2008, actually.

Wishlisted and keeping my fingers crossed to see it go on sale!

I know. My reaction remains unchanged.

[Miker]

Isn't the Lumines on Steam pretty outdated? I think it only supports really low resolutions, too.

 

[jaundicejuice]

Well I beat Thief '14, now to uninstall and never play the game again.

What I did like:
- The side client missions. You were hired to go and steal something, what narrative there was you largely got through lore you could pick up and read or through conversations you could overhear.
- The fifth chapter. The only section of the game with anything bordering on atmosphere.

What I didn't like:
- The context sensitive controls. They needed to be more liberally with what they tagged as being interactive.
- The cinematics and story. For a master thief Garret sure fucks up a lot and almost gets caught at the end of so many missions in the game.
- The sound design. Absolutely terrible because of how unpolished it is, there are so many audio glitches in this game.
- Button mashing and keyboards. The parametric button press sections were there to mask load times, so I'm not certain why there were so many loading screens directly following those sections or why there were so many loading screens when the actual areas of The City were so small and vacant.

slim chance of that happening, though. I even removed it from my wishlist out of annoyance of it never going on sale, according to Jasec last time it was on sale back in 2010 (><)

That looks better

Los Hermanos Pollos Heist?

Of course there's also a slight chance it'll get a higher discount (33%-40%?). What discount would be enough for you to wait?

About 40%.. I already bought it though. Lol.

Well, as long as it's playable and not too ugly I can get over the lack of hi-res.

The meltdowns whenever someone plays that game are always hilarious to read. Sounds like a reverse Goat Simulator.

im going to like Thief, come at me bros

I liked Hitman and Tomb Raider, fuck you guys

for those thinking to buy Secret files on gamersgate, it's one key for all, not 4.

Imagine robbing a chicken store in the game.

I seriously got so mad while playing through Thief. I have not experienced that much nerdrage in I don't know how long.

What about Wrack?

Tower of Guns doesn't look bad, but it's not quite the same. Maybe it's the aesthetic, or that all the enemies are turrets and drones and robots and stuff?

Wrack actually looks like a reskin of Quake. I don't really like its art direction, but it seems to play like a classic FPS from what I've seen in the trailer. If they added randomized levels, daily challenges, etc, then yeah, that could be it.

Also you should really play Quake. The guy who did the music for it went on to be famous for something.

You mean Costa Rica and Uruguay are going to field Pirlo?

exactly what i did. skipped almost every cut scene and did as much as i could while finishing the main story. as soon as i did that though uninstalled it went

Because pirlo was the only reason Italy won...

Funny how everyone talks about pirlo now, where as back in the mid 2000's he wasn't that noticed at all to the masses.


Dont rate that English defence at all.
