I just figured out that, being a local co-op game, you can assign the other player slots to keyboard controls and an extra controller if you have one. It makes getting the most valuable achievement absolutely trivial.

I was thinking to do that. I was just lazy to find extra controllers

May be a bit off topic but has anybody played Warhammer 40K Fire Warrior on a 64-bit machine? I cannot get my copy to work, currently the second 'classic' game I've encountered that refuses to run (the first being Requiem Avenging Angel). I'm half tempted to build a cheap 32-bit XP machine to get them running.
 
Is there a list somewhere of games on Steam that do not bind to your account when installed? I opened Steam on my laptop yesterday, and saw that in my library I have 507 games under "all games", but on my desktop I had 510 games under "all games".

I remembered that I had Free to Play (the documentary) and Alien Swarm installed on my desktop, so that's 2 of the 3 extra games. But I can't figure out what the third would be. Is there any way of doing this without having to tediously go through the list one-by-one to see where the difference is? I'm nearly certain that I don't have some other free game installed...

Pretty much Steam's entire free-to-play library behaves like that; only a select handful of games use the free licence system. There's no easy way to narrow down the candidate short of cross-checking what you have installed.

It's weird though, cos I'm certain that there's no other free-to-play game on there. TF2 and Dota 2 are bound to my account (as I got them before TF2 went f2p and before Dota 2 officially launched), and I scanned the games and can't see anything else. Maybe I will have to go through the list to figure this out. It'd have to be something installed, I'm guessing. As otherwise the game count shouldn't be affected.

Edit: unless a game was removed from libraries recently? Something like what happened with Order of War: Challenge (though it's not that game). I wonder if a game I bought that I had installed ages ago could still be sitting on the desktop but no longer in my "account", so to speak... (I'd bloody well hope not, as I wasn't too pleased to have a game I bought taken away from me last year).

If somebody tried to pinch one of my games, I'd know about it. ;) I did finally manage to get Order of War: Challenge back, though.

I don't really need a tag, but I figured I'd get one to make people jealous. Is it working?

As a side note, I think this is the first game I've seen where I think Playfire/SAM has really messed with global achievements stats. Right now there are more people who have the achievement to get 20 kills without dying than those who have the achievement to get 10 kills without dying.

Al Emmo and the Lost Dutchman's Mine is another one. The .50 cheezmo for that was beating the game with a 500/500 score. According to the tracking stats, more people have that achievement than the one for just beating the game.

Oh and for Chompy Chomp Chomp, I found the Stayin' Alive map to be the easiest to get the kill streak on. Turning off power ups helps as well.

The real question is to go to watch a new Godzilla movie or not to go. Reception so far is not good, nobody who watched liked it. (._.)
And again why there is no Godzilla game on steam, that's simply wrong!
I could wait till Japanese unhappy with US handling of Godzilla again, will make their own movie too.

Well, they release stuff on AppStore. Steam is turning (if it hasn't already) into an AppStore, so there's hope (TM).

FF0,5-6 and TWEWY iOS ports, please

I briefly considered pushing back The Grand Budapest Hotel a day and watching Godzilla instead, but I checked the listings again and Friday was the last day for GBH. The same thing happened with The Host (saw it on its last day), but this time I didn't come out of the theatre with a faint pang of regret. ;)

skipping on Godzi probably would feel so wrong to me as for you missing Ronan movie, inspite how bad
both are

I had a really great time with Godzilla.
I understand all the negative reception it's getting, and I even agree with them to a certain extent. But I guess people expected some kind of Pacific Rim movie, while Godzilla draws more from Jurassic Park or Jaws (mainly in terms of pacing). It's more a movie about powerless and helpless humans facing big scary monsters, than big scary monsters throwing aircraft carriers against each others.
But all in all, the important thing is that when Godzilla is on screen, he's glorious to the point of shouting and cheering in childlike wonder and joy.

Funny that you mention it, everybody I talked about this movie were impressed with Godzi, but disappointed with everything else. I hope to be impressed too. :)

You know you don't have to farm cards with SAM after the initial drop batch?

no farming necessary in this case :p I also will refrain to say how many cards Ive gotten in Marvel ^_^

But I want to transform so baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad

From this list it seems the only good transformers we ever had were Beast Wars and Cybetron ones. How come there is no OT for Tranformer games?

It's just impossible not being impressed by Godzilla, he's perfect!
He could have gotten more screentime, yes, but then imho the wonder of seeing him would have been way less.

The "everything else" everybody is so disappointed, namely the "human" plot... they're right.
It's kind of badly written (even though the scenes where humans directly "interact" with the kaijus are thrilling as hell!) and most characters are shallow.
But for me it was an excuse to lower the identification barrier between viewers and characters, that mostly work like "vessels" for the viewer. Something akin to games featuring first person views and a mute main character.

Same here, unless it's way overpriced.
30% off on release would be nice as well.
And not being featured in a bundle a week later. :\

My bet would be around 10&#8364; like Ikaruga (so hopefully around 5&#8364; in Russia), time to idle some more card money...

Did the old version of CC have a tate mode? I can't remember...

I liked how they demand to choose your side right of the bat lol
nice site too.
Not many Transformers fans here, and so far only two people that gets it (me and another steamgaf regular, I can't believe I forgot who! (._.)
you know, that Transformers don't have to be good (games or movies), that's not the point (><)

Haha, well, after ~7 hours (Steam says 8, but I spent a fair chunk of time fiddling with settings) I'm still on the first chapter since I'm abusing the checkpoint system to unlock the perks as soon as possible, so I'm certainly playing it like an Ubi game. ;)

That means you don't know real Jasec. He plays Ubi games, Counter strike and Wolf, also Amalur and does deforesting runs in AoE inbetween.
In fact, I'm not sure why we believe he doesn't play games, he plays a lot. (><)

I play more than AssCreed, but I really don't play many games. I don't think I've actually finished a game thus far this year, unless you count Freedom Cry (but I played through it before it was released as a standalone game).

I always feel instant regret whenever I pay full price on a preorder.

WatchDoggs

I just noticed you bought that. Are you in some suicidal mood or something.
Haven't you played two AssCreed games in a row already? (><)


still looks like braging, but you have right to brag. holly smoke, that's impressive list!
and I'm still stuck in FFX and X-2 neverending cycle. It was really bad idea to play them one after another, it's just too much, I mean of very intensive and long games, especially FFX.

At least with my Murdered Soul Suspect pre-order I feel like I helped keep a developer in this world a bit longer. (Or away from mobile at least.)

Well there are quite a lot of collectables to find in each chapter. Not UbiSoft levels mind but stuff to find none the less.

Death by checklist!
