What a great, short-lived thread. Nice to see Empress won something, just because I love the art of their game covers though. Still waiting for whoever it was (JastUSA?) to bring over Starless, one of their games.
A dialogue from Shadow Warrior;
"What does the prophesy say? Am I the one?"
This game is going to break my ribs.
I keep telling people it's the best-written game of 2013.

Just ordered a retail copy of Wolfenstein TNO from the UK and after that I checked steamdb.info if there has been any changes on the ROW sub. I was very delighted to see that Austria has been removed from the "PurchaseRestrictedCountries" list so I don't need a VPN connection to activate the game, wohooo! Now I can buy, activate and play Wolfenstein TNO uncut without violating Steam's TOS at all, nice!
But I'm confused though, where did the US sub go? I don't find it anymore on steamdb: http://steamdb.info/app/201810/subs/

Your dorm net has download cap? That sucks!
There was no US sub. ROW = rest of world, i.e. every territory not covered by the Germany, Asia and Japan-specific subs.

It's up now. Owners of the original get a 50% discount.
This is what they said before
They changed their minds though

I wouldn't call $10 a reasonable price.

Yeah, it's so stupid. 30 GB cap, after that my speed will be reduced to 0.5 mbit/s. It's crazy because in Austria internet flatrate deals without cap are the norm, there are virtually no internet providers who specifically offer deals with a data cap.
I really need to move to another dorm soon.
But last week this page listed subs named "Wolfenstein: The New Order" with the suffixes JP, ASIA, RU, ROW and at least one entry was without suffix. The one without suffix has disappeard now. I thought this was the US sub?
Phew, the whole sub thingy with Steam is so confusing, I still don't get it at all. Screw it, at least I know for sure that my UK import of Wolfenstein TNO will be uncut and I can activate and play it without problems in Austria.

Usually dorm internet has some sort of limitations to prevent certain people, or compromised devices to use up all the traffic. But seriously, 30GBs per month is ridiculous. I got 100M/100M with 3GBs upload every 24 hours.

Why not? The only problem of QUBE was its length, if they added let's say about an hour of gameplay it's worth it for newcomers.
The name of the ROW pre-purchase sub was changed after the game unlocked for the sake of clarity:
Edit: In other news, Max: The Curse of Brotherhood should be available in a matter of hours.
For a new game? Sure.
This is not a new game though. Even if you have previous version of QUBE on Steam, you are still expected to pony up $5 (or more if you're from Europe) for changes that I personally think should be offered as a free upgrade (like, say, FTL:AE).

Man Transistor is so pretty, even the menu's are so crisp, worth my 15$ in keys. Only complaint is the story sort of starts without saying anything...aka no story..yet...

Just played a bit of Ascend: Hand of Kul.
Dont know how F2P affects the gameplay later on but its a nice game for a few hours.

Woah! is this new? enhanced steam? That will save me hours!
No, it must be a new vanilla feature. I don't use Enhanced Steam.
It's also saving me so much time posting my cards on the market.

I hope all kickstarters are funded because that means more videogames in my life I may one day play, even if I don't have the system (STEAM only right now)

I think we can agree that FTL did well for itself compared to QUBE.
If I had my way, Steam would still be army green! Get off my lawn dammit!
Valve should have brought back Green Steam for their 10th birthday.
Edit: Just look at it, in all its glory!
The F2P aspect almost doesn't matter at all. I don't know MS allowed such a loose F2P system, because there's really no use in buying anything they offer you. I liked it enough to want to throw some money at it, like $5 or whatever, and the loot I bought was made useless within like an hour of play. You get better stuff in loot chests and ascending your characters means you'll be junking gear constantly anyway.
Oh, that is at least if you use the proper strategy of grinding down loot chest items until they break and replacing them with another item until it breaks etc. That way you're always rich and can afford new gear when you ascend, and buying a +3 axe of whatever with real money or like 250,000 souls is nonsense when you can easily find a +2 axe in chests.

aku:jiki: Great analysis of Risk of Rain. I'm only a few hours in and I'm having nagging suspicions that the game is rigged like that, and I'm glad to see them put into words.

Your description about the f2p elements makes this game sounds interesting, how is the gameplay?

Interesting. The Combat doesnt have much depth. But its interesting to throw humans at trolls.
And the Lore/Story is kinda interesting too.

Ok I had enough. Installed Chrome and going to use it exclusively for ES. It didn't work with Cyberfox for some time now.
Is the Battleblock Theater market and inventory not working properly with it for anyone else? Would be easier to sell all those items.

Just got done with 50 planet romp through Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion. Ended with a level 9 Titan and 14 level 9-10 capital ships which was jolly good fun.
I think it is about time to check out X:Rebirth again. It looks like (as hoped) Egosoft is trying pretty hard to patch the game into something it should have been at launch. New starting campaigns is the thing I am most excited about.
Only question is how I can play it with Van Helsing 2 and Tropico 5 about to drop.
Need to take a sick week...

I actually found it really cutting edge at the time. I was a novice web developer and I totally liked what Valve did with Steam. It was (at least for a non-user like me) so clean, so clear and yet so full of personality. It conveyed plenty of messages even just with the simple choice of color.
IIRC it was military/camo green with yellow (or it was orange?) highlights. It was so weird and yet so perfect.
I remember copying Valve/Steam site over and over, to replicate its cleanliness. Fun times indeed.
Way better than the random ok-to-meh thing we have today.
EDIT: but then again i'm a fucking programmer, so I'm fine with square boxes painted red and blue just because.

Just finished Infamous:SS and I'm going to give Metro 2033 a go.
Um, is there a setting that is wayyyyyyyyy too taxing or is Metro just really, really unoptimized? Trying to run it at max settings with AAA @ 1080p with a gtx 770 and an i7 4770k and I'm getting some pretty hard hits in the framerate at times.

It is a beautiful game, not sure how taxing, I remember it played pretty well when I got it on high on a lesser card

Turn off DX11 DoF, switch the preset from very high to high. If that doesn't help, I guess start lowering the settings until you are comfortable with them.

Hahaha what I find hilarious is the near decade fight to get away from square design and all the little hacks like putting 4 seperate div in your layout all with a rounded corner image and then the css border radius property only for shift back to flat tabular design. All that fighting for progress only to go back to boxes.
As someone who works primarily in print I can't stand the some of the hacks needs to get some great web layout and design going. Text flow is just a nightmare even with css trickery compared to what I can do in a flash in InDesign.
I'm surprised Valve haven't included the legacy theme as a skin. Then again I'm sure someone has made a replica.

Try running it on DX10 instead of 11.
