nah it used to be just a numeric value but I remember an update broke it

It still works. Default:

-1:

You have to change the interiorspacing and GridView.DropShadowLeading values in resource\layout\gamespage_grid.layout, not the skin's own version of the file. The latter hasn't worked in yonks. Also keep in mind that the file size can't change, so when replacing the values you need to use two characters.

You should give it a spin. I never finished it because it kind of goes on for a bit, but I really liked what I played.

cool, but odd, since I thought I was changing the core value and not the skin's one already years ago

I dont much care for fantasy stuff which is what kept me away from it but everyone says it's a fantastic adventure game

I remember this not really being that great, but nostalgia is calling to me.

Does the pink muppet character make a return in the new game? I don't remember much specifically about the first game and it's spinoff, but the muppet was pretty adorable and funny.

dex looks really cool, it's too bad it's not actually on sale despite what steam wants to make you believe

For those who dont have Costume Quest, there's a code hidden in this post, just quote to see it.

Some Steam reviews are saying the devs are not updating the project anymore, is that true?

After who knows how many attempts, Deus Ex is finally out of my backlog. What a great game.

They were at Rezzed last week, at the moment they are transitioning to full release in April which is why there has been no updates for a while.

The game is a cross between Castlevania and Deus Ex and is pretty good, the build I played had a few bugs but otherwise its a really good cyberpunk game. The only problem with the game is that you can level up too quickly, after 20 mins I had maxed out both health and meele skills they need to reduce the amount of points you get when you level up.

So are there any impressions on Oceanhorn? I kinda want to try out Wind Faker HD now that it's on a platform i can use buttons with.

how does this compare to Sid Meier's Railroads?

Speaking of which why was that game removed from Steam?

It might be unsupported on modern versions of Windows. The last time I played the game, I think it was on either XP or Win2k, and I distinctly remember it crashing to desktop constantly. I still managed to enjoy the hell out of the game, but it was just not very stable.

 

[Sendou]

Well on their Facebook page they announced the full voice acting cast just yesterday so there's definitely activity. I think it's just the usual case where updates haven't been as frequent as early adopters would have hoped.

Binary Domain worth the coin?

A bit late on the reply here, but at that price? Sure. It's a thoroughly competent 3rd-person cover shooter with some fun party interactions and some neat characters. Some of the robot enemies have a bit too much HP so you feel like you are chipping away at them forever, but it's an enjoyable game while it lasts and doesn't overstay it's welcome.

 

[JaseC]

I was curious myself so I looked up a couple of things. It has an 85 on Metacritic after 19 reviews, but unfortunately there's almost zero data on HLTB: the standard playthrough average is slightly north of nine hours, but this is based on just two submissions.

 

[JaseC]

Bio2 just got its music patch and will presumably be available again soon. Current owners are not affected as, like Vice City, the modified music is being handled by way of a new data depot.

And it's back.

Edit: D'oh.

The WTFast Gamers Private Network (GPN) is a client/server solution that makes online games faster. Our proprietary software client hooks latency sensitive game data, sending that data through our global network of over 100 servers, optimizing the game connection from end to end.

Seems legit

+1 for the bullet-spongy-ness of the enemies

I didn't like the main character and I found Bo overrated. But on the other hand, the environmental design is nice to look at, it has some very distinctly Japanese-feeling boss fights, and notably well-done and detailed texture work. Seriously, the texturing is what actually stood out to me the most. Games where there's sloppy, blurry, stretched texturing really bug me.

The gameplay is merely adequate and unremarkable, so it's kind of like Spec Ops: The Line in that regard.

 

[jshackles]

Seems legit

I find it strange that programs like this are expressly against the SSA - but its okay somehow because it's being done by a product sold on Steam itself.

I need that Greenlight submission for Idle Master...

It is legit, it's a game tunneling service. Lowers your ping a bit if your ISP gives you a shit route to the the specific game server. WTFast itself isn't as good as some of the other tunneling services out there though.

Posting here in hopes that anyone can help;
Can anyone get me a copy of Oceanhorn from Nuuvem please? I'll paypal you the money for it
Hit me a PM or let me know through Steam if you can help =3

wtfast is a pretty well known thing

what's the point of getting the free version? sounds like it won't do anything

Depending on where you are and where the servers are, it could make your ping worst though.
Using FFXIV as an example, one of the NA server is physically like 30 minutes away from my home.
If I have to go to one of their server that's further then back here, I'd actually worsen my latency.

Yeah, true. It's usually targetted towards people in Asia/Australia connecting to US/EU servers like me

Leviathan: The Last Day of the Decade got cards.

What it needs is the English translation of episode 4 like they announced six weeks ago. And also for that translation to be better than the first three episodes. But you know, I guess cards while we wait is okay.

 

[Shadownet]

I'm disappointed in this bundle.. Only because there isn't anything I wanted..

 

[TheMadMan007]

I'm trying to buy the Dragon bundle on indie gala and it seems like it's not going through, with paypal it comes up with an error page, and when I did credit card I put my card number in, and clicked pay then spat me out the the same page. No email or anything. Anyone have any ideas?

So Titan X is 1000$. I would never be able to buy one of those and to be honest i would rather buy PS4 and 980 than Titan X if i had that much money

 

[Salsa]

has The Long Dark gotten better since the last update? I heard it was huge, need to come back

At least The Inner world has a separate key for the soundtrack.

Oceanhorn is really quite good actually, another win for Finnish developers (well that win came couple of years ago when the iOS version sold tons of copies but who would play Zelda clone with touch controls). It's not a mindblowing experience but it will very likely be one of those games we all recommend buying a humble bundle six months from now. It does stutter a bit (or a lot if you put vsync off) but other than that, works great on my computer. I haven't tried this but supposedly kb+mouse controls aren't good. Gamepad works great though.

 

[Uzzy]

Of course there's a Cyberpunk sale on this week, today's William Gibson's birthday! Only just realised that.

 

[derExperte]

So Titan X is 1000$. I would never be able to buy one of those and to be honest i would rather buy PS4 and 980 than Titan X if i had that much money

Reading a German review right now and the card seems to get rather loud but still too hot to consistently reach the highest possible clock rates. Kills it right there even if I was willing to spend the money. Watercooling is of course an option but then things become even more expensive/complicated.

 

[Snakethesniper]

Would I be fine buying Pillars of Eternity from Nuuvem? it doesnt say anything about region locks but I dont know if Valve changed their policy lately

I'm interested too
