If you ask me Mass Effect never even should have bothered being a RPG. What it was in ME2 (shooter with RPG lite mechanics) is what the series should have stayed with. We'll see if andromeda changes my mind, but after DAI I doubt it. Were going to be stuck with the shitty mako again and instead of barren planets, we'll have ones with a bunch of side quests not worth a damn. If it's indeed following the same formula/engine.
Oh well thank you. I figured out what was wrong though with why it wasn't showing up as 360 Prompts. Good info to know anyway, can't wait for Windows 10.

If it really becomes DA:I with guns, I won't even bother picking it up when it's 75% off.
Because it's a shitshow that tries to push all kinds of crap on you.

I already miss the old design. The new one is hideous.
The separate games don't come with the bonus content (commentary) The Complete Journey has. I guess they decided to not add that bonus content as DLC to the existent subs.
Yeah I recently finished Mass Effect and I agree with you.
That game is kind of a pain to play at times, what with the poor inventory management and boring, repeated warehouses scattered on lifeless planets. Sometimes you do get a pretty vista, I'll give it that.
Bioware does seem to be aware of the criticism aimed at DAI's quests though, so maybe they'll change those.
So I shouldn't have to buy Deponia and Chaos on Deponia separately right? Since The Complete Collection has them all.

The Complete Collection is its own sub and only counts as a +1

If you get the complete collection you wont have the deponia and chaos subs tied to you account

I'm not going to name names but someone on my friend's list is posting Witcher 3 screenshots that have the sharpening set to max(?) and it's the most disgusting thing I've ever seen. Jar guy has nothing on this.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I just finished helping a friend get to 100m. Any gaffer stuck in a room that need help? I see some of you guys on my friends list that is about 70m or 90m that probably won't need me.
Do you want +2?
Max sharpening plus steam compression :/
Although to be fair, the game looks better in motion than in screenshots. Many times I've taken screenshots in W3 that looks great at the time but when looking at it later turns out just plain bad.
My room is around 35m
What's the room #? I'll join once mine has hit 100m, as well. At 92.5m now, so I don't see it taking too long.
I do want that +2... damn why must you be tempting me.
I'll be right here. Helping another gaffer who is around 90m. Shouldn't take long.

Sure it wasn't SweetFX? I think max is the default for PC. Tuned it down to low personally but don't remember it being that bad.

One of these is HATOFUL BOYFRIEND the other is BAD RATS
Are we friends in steam? You can join my by joining a friend's room
Thanks
Nah, don't think so. I'll add now and get to it.
It's probably going to make it a little trickier for sales aggregators like isthereanydeal to get data with the site filtering out results that aren't purchasable by the viewer's region
Thanks for the heads up man. Got my PC edition. <3
Seriously guys, buy Hatoful Boyfriend. If you like pigeons, which I hope you do, you'll definitely enjoy it. (frost need not apply ) It is an otome game, which means the main character is a girl and your romantic options are boys (well, male pigeons in this case, however our main girl is still a human), so yes it is primarily targeted towards a female audience, and possible those attracted to our fine feathered friends. However, even if you aren't a member of that gender, it's definitely worth playing, and without spoiling anything, there's more to it than what it appears to be on the surface. I won't tell you how though--that's for you to find out by playing it. I should point out I've not yet played it, but generally impressions of it are high. Coo!
Also, if you haven't bought Freedom Planet, first, WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU, and second, you only have 10 hours left before the discount ends, so if you want it, and trust me you want it, you better act fast. Seriously, it's a really fun game, SO BUY IT!

listen to the mad man
jshackles and/or other developers:
Anyone having trouble with Steam's search right now? Go to Steam and search CastleStorm. Don't press enter. The auto-population search box is not working. I use this particular search box to scrape a lot of game data for ModBot and some other non-ModBot scripts I have written for Steam. I can get the results if I press enter and search but not from the auto-populated search.
Is this just a thing for the sale or is it broken broken? If it's broken broken for good, what's my best way to pull game metadata (dev, pub, metacritic, release date) very quickly for a large number of games given a list of titles?
A few of the titles not working for me:
Restaurant Empire 2
One Late Night: Deadline
bit Dungeon II
Startopia
Monument
Grey Cubes
The Grave Digger
Dark Matter
PIX the CAT
Xeodrifter
Marvin's Mittens

Search hasn't been working properly for me for the past few days. It's just like what you wrote. Proper results come up only after pressing enter and search.

Hey Steam GAF. So I finished building my first PC this week (perfect timing with the Steam sale, eh?) and I've started work on my PC games collection. As the sale is about to come to a close, based on what I already own/don't own, can anyone make any recommendations for must-have games I should pick up?
Here's what I have so far:

That's a virgin's account, so little games you have
Must have games:
Bastion
Cave Story
Binding of Isaac Rebirth
and more which I can't think of now

Here's what I have so far:
Not based on your list, but I recommend Freedom Planet--the current discount only has 10 hours left. Also, buy Hatoful Boyfriend. No, seriously, buy it. I know it seems kind of strange but it's definitely a fantastic game. I see you have To The Moon, and if you enjoyed that, I think you'll enjoy HB.
I see you have two Mass Effect games, so you might want to look at Dragon Age Origins, and also the KOTOR series, and Jade Empire, for more Bioware games. In a similar vein, there are a few other WRPGs you should definitely get: Baldur's Gate EE, Baldur's Gate 2 EE, Icewind Dale EE, the rest of the Fallout series, Wasteland 2, the Divinity series, and Pillars of Eternity. Also, get the Witcher games too. If you like Diablo-like games, I also recommend the Torchlight games.
Someone below me suggested Trails in the Sky, and I second that recommendation, as well as the Ys series from the same developers. If you are a JRPG fan you'll enjoy these. Other good JRPGs: Final Fantasy games, Neptunia series, Breath of Death VII, Cthulhu Saves the World, Lisa, Pier Solar, Agarest games, Half-Minute Heroes games, One-Way Heroics, Fairy Bloom Freesia, Recettear, Chantelise, Fortune Summoners, Penny Arcade's On.the Rainslick Precipice games, Septerra Core, Anachronox, Sudeki, 99 Spirits, Elminage Gothic, Valkyria Chronicles, and The Last Remnant. While, not a JRPG, if you like JRPGs, you'll probably enjoy Bastion, and you should also get the dev's other game, Transistor.

If you like JRPGs, Trails in the Sky is still half off until 1pm EST.
Goat Simulator is fun for the discounted price. Since you have a few FPS games, might I suggest Gunslinger + Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon bundle? Good price since it's a Daily. Finally, when the sale ends, if you like shmups, pick up Ikaruga. It's half off and it hardly ever gets a discount.
Oh wow.
Spec Ops: The Line
XCOM: Enemy Unknown
Dishonored
Vanishing of Ethan Carter
are some that come to mind.

Here's what I have so far:
Crusader Kings II and Civilization V are two must haves in a PC gaming library.

Yeah, search is kinda broken in the past few days.
I thought it's my connection problem.
Welcome aboard!
I'd recommend these:
The Witcher series
Dragon Age Origins
Pillars of Eternity
Divinity Original Sin
Shadowrun Dragonfall
Valkyria Chronicles
Deus Ex series
YS series
In short, just get all of those RPGs.
