I'm not sure.

Yeah, me too, in fact I think that one is a sideswipe to Schafer.

I actually brought this up before, I felt that it was a swipe at Tim as well.

Edit: Speaking of gut feelings: I have a gut feeling like we might actually get 360 emulation on Win10.

Good to see Paradox making space great again.

Or rather, keeping space great.

I'm a big blizz fan, have played every single released of theirs since 2004, and have enjoyed every game, except for two: HotS and now this. Toxic ppl aside (it's an online game, you expect them), Overwatch just hasn't clicked with me. They've tried to emulate TF2 with a twist, and though I was enjoying it in the betas, I lost interest very fast.

And no, I don't hate online fps games, I still love playing css even though the graphics suck, and it's one of the most basic games around.

i wouldn't say they tried to "emulate tf2", the game definitely feels like its own thing even if it takes tf2 as a starting point

it reminds me a lot of league which is why i like it so much

So I want to launch Overwatch through Steam. Done. Easy. But whenever I launch it via Steam, I have to provide my Battle.net account and password. Is there a way around it? If I use the Bnet launcher, I don't have to put my credentials every single time.

weird, i don't have to put my credentials, i just launch it from steam and it opens the bnet launcher and then i just play it

tahts so weird, I found no toxicity...I mean, im not using voice chat so is that why? nobody types anything except GG or jokes about pressing Q for play of the game in the chat (and this was on US too lol)

I played 39 matches (lol >_<) and won 26, most of it with a small group of gaffers (MarvelHeroesGaf is too strong lol) so im pretty happy with winning 2/3rds

i wouldn't say it was like every game but it was definitely noticeable compared to the beta. like on my second or third game i had a widow go "gg noobs" or something like that and just stand still until we lost

it doesn't help that there's no "trolling" report option, it's really weird. i went with "harassment" but yeah, that's pretty dumb, and i'm used to dumb report options coming from league

Found out that my GTS250 isn't compatible with DirectX 10.1 so I won't be able to play Overwatch till Thursday

I literally have everything on the bundle except Bionic Commando which I'm tempted to get because it's not on sale on Steam in my region but I don't think it's worth $10.

Anyone played Lumo? Looks like a great little throwback and was even reviewed by Eurogamer but not much chatter on here about it. It's an isometric puzzler/platformer that harks back to similar games on British computers in the 80s.

The only game I wanted was DMC4:SE. But I did not wanted to buy the entire bundle just for one game. Luckily I did find one guy that sold the game, so I bought it from him

 

[Dice]

I also want DMC4:SE but I don't want to pay more then $2.50 for it because I think it's bullshit they didn't have an upgrade option for DMC4 owners.

Yea, I read that article last night. It's insightful but not more than people already know about shady indie publishers.

The only indie game publishers that are worthwhile IMO:

TinyBuild
Devolver
Raw Fury
Adult Swim
Chucklefish
Paradox
Versus Evil
Playism

This is the small list of indie pubs that when they announce a new game, I'll take notice. More importantly they are a far better indicator of "Steam Curators" than Steam Curators.

The case is meant to be on a desk, so USB ports on the bottom would be more sensible.

I have a more minimalistic taste, so orange would be a no go.

Playism def falls in the list of legit "Steam Curators" as an indie publisher.

You are correct. I'll make an edit.

Anyone else have any worthwhile mentions, because I only put what I could think off the top of my head.


Edit: This isn't Steam, but Comixology just launched a subscription service at $6/month with offline reading. I already started the free trial to see what you get in the sub. https://www.comixology.com/unlimited

Thanks for the heads up on this. I love Comixology and I have a "comics budget" every month (more than $6) that usually gets spent there anyways, so I'll have to check that out.

On another note, the Enhanced Steam primary origin server experienced some catastrophic hardware failure this morning and my hosting company is working on rebuilding it for me. Once they bring it back online the data should reseed from one of the downstream servers, but until that happens you will most likely experience issues with the Enhanced Steam API servers.

all dlc are for multi, so no.

Most games multiplayer DLC is worthless. Even more so if you're not playing the MP.

Anyone know what the deal is between Ron Gilbert and Tim Schafer? There is def some bad blood between those two.

Edit: for reference: https://twitter.com/grumpygamer/status/734851191218135040

When someone mentioned Tim and Fig in the same sentence, Ron replied with alacrity.

Theory: Sony and Double Fine already have an established relationship with Disney and they are already working on, or planning a Monkey Island 3. Not bad blood so much as business inconvenience.
