I feel like someone else is playing(read: messing with) that person's account, otherwise I stand no chance against that.

Sell me on it.
What is the hook for the game that elevates it above running around and shooting things?

Second invader, 340000 souls, I need a high five over the internet.

Starbreeze really excelled at creating interesting hub worlds and character interactions(ie, watching a film with your girlfriend Jenny in the Darkness) between the action and Wolfenstein seems to work towards creating similar moments although there is no hub system.

For example, in one of the first videos released for the game they have this rather tense moment where you're asked to take a little quiz and at any point you can attempt to just grab the gun instead. Similar results from what I've seen but these little moments seem to be interspersed throughout and I'm really looking forward to what they do with them.
And hell, running around and shooting things can be great fun and the game seems to have some of the best and most visually satisfying gunplay I've seen in a game. Destructible cover, full body gibs(including blood which sprays on you), the ability to dual wield nearly every gun in the game and so on really make it seem like it'll be a blast.
Dude it's not like gear buffs you like this is wow, just saying

has anyone played Blackguards? I spent some time with it this afternoon and I was surprised by how much I liked it. Nice mix of grid-based and environmental combat, with a ton of skill and stat manipulation.

I've been Belling it up to grind it out for the spell. It's been a blast, but when the opportunity to be a bastard comes up I take it every time. Don't even feel the least bit guilty, I'm here for one reason only; you shall not pass!

I was at level 54, and my +4 bastard sword is dealing very little damage, I relied entirely on back stabs, that guy got some weird lightning storm stuff.

Nice. I would like to think he is now making an angry thread about people not playing online in the right way.

I was laughing my ass off, he rolled off the cliff while he was dodging my final blow, how can an invader be so unprepared?

I really like it, huge choice in builds, unique environments and interesting characters. Though due to poor save game management on my part and a couple of really annoying gameplay choices on the part of the devs, I'm completely stuck at a point in chapter 2.

How? You're not forced to use it to level up. The amount of souls you have doesn't affect "jolly co-op" ... and even so, you can still get summoned via white soapstone easily enough -- I just have trouble getting summoned as a bell bro because I'm so high... but I don't need that anyway.
I'd be happy to take that 1 and 2 off you if it's not episode 4 as the bonus.
I hope so. I hate it when these guys show up and just scum it up in any way possible to get their kill... and I've been plagued by the damned blue arbiters lately. I'm not even sure what makes me "guilty".
Ah, balls.
But a lot of that makes sense... I didn't quite catch some of those things during my playthrough. Thanks for the clarity.
I haven't been invaded ever
This isn't Dark Souls... humanity only affects your ability to use blue/red invading orbs or your ability to see summon signs for help.
I started it for the playfire rewards... and I was surprised by how much I liked it even though it uses some grid based combat. It's on the backburner at the moment, but I have it in my #FINISH category.

At the very least, remember that you have to eat at some point during the day.
I have no interest in co-op but Soul Memory goes off of souls that you've received, not spent. So yes, getting a ton of souls from killing an invading hacker would make it effectively make it impossible for you to co-op even if you don't use them at all.
Thanks for the raffle. Have some new Android games for play on my Note now.
Wow I won, thanks!
Restarted my Half-Life 2 playthrough, wrapped up Highway 17 during the weekend. Went smoother than I expected, maybe I'm slowly beginning to 'get' the cinematic FPS genre?
Also, despite people's claims, playing from SSD does make for an improvement (even without having the OS installed on SSD).
Loading time between zones are ~5 times shorter, no stuttering while quicksaving, quickloading being pretty much instantaneous...
10/10 would buy again (prolly 128GB version, but buy nevertheless).

I don't really need a tag, but I figured I'd get one to make people jealous. Is it working?
I say this any time anyone even looks like they're mentioning HL2, but think about giving the game a try with no reticule, no hud, and max difficulty.
Very very good
yeah I think I'll pick it up along with the Bioshock triple pack
Isn't it weird how companies and engineers spend years to create games, put the PC version full of different settings and then drop the ball on something as simple as vsync making the game experience horrible for a lot of people. There's always that one thing that has to be fixed with 3rd party stuff. Typically either vsync or FXAA related (FXAA, because so many games have terrible implementation of FXAA destroying the image quality completely).

Damn those

Bleh, the Borderlands 2 DLC has fixed level requirements. Sir Hammerlock's, which is one of the DLC's I haven't played, is set at level 30. I was having fun re-playing through the game with Krieg but I can't just plow through all of the DLC and am basically forced to do the entire campaign once. if I stick to using Krieg anyways. You finish the campaign at level 34 if you do pretty much everything. I enjoyed Borderlands 2 but I've got a character in every class, with 2 up to the old level 50 cap. I've already played through the main campaign enough times. I'm at Thousand Cuts, so I should just suck it up and hammer through the rest of it. I just need to be a high enough level to play through Tiny's Tina and Sir Hammerlock's DLC.
In the midst of Steam madness - if you guys haven't checked out indie hit Anomaly: Warzone Earth yet, it is up for grabs (for free) at www.gamesrepublic.com. All you need to do is register with the service (which is 11 bit studios' digi platform).

Get used to this. Quite a few boss fights in the game have a gauntlet before them. This particular boss fight is one of the better ones in the game IMO.
You can
run past them and climb the stair in the bottom floor
without fighting
Also,
mace wrecks those sentinels

That room is actually really easy to get through, if you shoot an arrow at the first dude you see through the door 2 of them will walk out.
After they're dead walk into the door and walk back out, 4 more guys will come outside, just take them out on the little narrow path in front of the door like the first 2 guys.

Damn, something is wrong with my steam client. Yesterday I thought the problem was fixed by deleting the httpcache folder, but as soon as I restart the client some icons disappear again....
Any ideas what could be the problem here?

you're using grid view
yes I know
try restarting your pc
I had to stop playing this early because some friends came over, but I actually quite enjoyed it. Will definitely try finishing it off next chance I get. Looks like I made some slow progress, ha.

You can slap on a custom grid view image for those icons, do it once and it'll never disappear again and load much faster.
Basically, rugby is the Aussie rules footy for pussies.
Also, why haven't the gaming press picked up the recent changes to Steam store page? I'd say not featuring new releases, focusing instead on bestsellers would generate some outrage, especially from indie devs.

Guess I'll have to do that. But strange, if I delete the httpcache folder the icons reappear but just untill I scroll down or minimize the window.

Yeah, happened to me a few times, have you tried using the beta client?
With Final Fantasy III coming to Steam, how would you rate the chance for other JRPG classics to be ported?
I'd love to play a Dragon Quest game on a bigger Screen than my 3DS LL again (even tough I really enjoy them on there), but would also like to see titles like Chrono Trigger, Valkyrie Profile, Xenogears, Suikoden, other Final Fanatsy titles, etc.
On another note: Is there any way to play FF VII / VIII in japanese on steam?

Since there is no voice acting in those games, why would you want to play them in Japanese?
Card farmed only, sorry.
