I could put on my tinfoil hat and say that they plan to remaster San Andreas, making you pay for a new 1080p experience. But they wouldn't be that Machiavellian...would they?

What a bunch of turds, great way to build up fan loyalty and respect before their next big release...
What a mess

It might have been a mistake. Just checked the registry and no signs of securom drm.
Pretty sure that's always been there.

Interesting, they should remove it since it doesn't have securom. They will hurt their sales if someone sees that and thinks its there.

Hello nice people of Steam-Gaf. Caught a cold and didn't come by this thread for some days.
I planned on catching up with the thread but 100 pages is bit daunting
Anything nice or interesting happen? Price mistakes, new stuff coming to Steam, etc.?
Btw, thank you Shadow for Shadow Warrior again
Hope you doing fine and thought about my proposal.

Pretty sure even TF2 doesn't actually resemble TF2 anymore. It's a pretty lazy comparison either way. Role wise it looks closer to something like MNC, it's just that that's not as sexy a target to paint.

Latest Steam Beta:
Not surprising.
Rock star objectively made the game worse without adding anything of value.

I forgot to backup GTA SA . Least I still got my PS2 version and can always install my friend's SA disc.

At this point TF2's the team shooter equivalent of WoW against a sea of lesser clones at this point, so of course the featureset isn't going to match. The inspiration for all of these utterly wacky team shooters with personality remains clear.
Like the game or not, TF2's potential for fun endures throughout the changes. (The halloween stuff is bonkers.)
Exactly. Every time I type Overwatch there's a thought in the back of my mind going, "Hey~ ARE YOU SURE THAT'S THE RIGHT TERM?"
In the end, Overwatch will always be XCOM's little innovation. Though I think Valkyria Chronicles has something similar... and it predates XCOM by quite a margin.
I know the removal of the songs was happening but did they removed 1080p as well? If so that's really shitty. There is no reason for doing that. (I ask because I haven't play San Andreas on PC yet, so idk if you can play it in 1080p or not prior to the patch.)

Does san andreas now have steam achievements?

So the crux of the comparison is purely tonal and grasping at aesthetics? Why make such a fuss if they're mechanically disparate? Was Blizzard supposed to stop injecting humor into their franchises at some point? Would you even try to make the argument that these two games have less than a delta between them than what War3 brought to Dota and what Dota 2 became?

From what I've read the original release had broken resolution options (or it was missing, not sure). A patch was then supplied that fixed the problem. This latest patch seemingly removes/breaks the previous patch, so the resolution is borked again.
Has to be talking about a race condition.
Nope.
overwatch looks kinda cool
i like the doctor robot girl with the wings
much better than crazy german dude
and the other one that turns back time
i'm gonna play as those two a lot i bet
i hope it's f2p
that makes sense
that's what i get for being self taught in programming
all those things are called thingies to me

The bottom line is, aesthetics sell games. Copying or mimicking another game's visual style or "feel" is an obvious attempt to leech their popularity via osmosis.
It's sad that Blizzard has fallen this low. It's like a leader becoming a follower... In other words, a demotion.
I'm impressed.
It's morningbus. We just nod at his quips.

I don't really need a tag, but I figured I'd get one to make people jealous. Is it working?
The medic and engie classes they showed are a little on the nose, mechanically. *Shrug*
I was pretty excited by the story and gameplay trailers, but a tad less so after all the reminders of Blizzard's history of...Let's call it "appropriation."
Anyhoo, about GTA: SA; at the risk of sounding dismissive due to ignorance, isn't it super easy to mod the radio stations in that game by this point? Couldn't you put literally anything back in there, licenses be damned?

What's that about free games in your library? Will I finally be able to see free games in my library even if they aren't installed?
It reminds me more of Fortnite. Disclaimer: It has been a long time since I've looked at Fortnite.
might i say tho, developers, if you please, doing the whole introducing a character by showing their abilities, then slowmo on them on a cool pose as you show their name on screen with some filter on and they mumble a terrible line like "one shot, one kill" is no longer cool
it just isn't
it was at a time when it wasn't done in every single game
and now you've ruined it for everybody
think about what you done
i really don't see much of a problem since it's happening like a million years after tf2 was released and it's prolly gonna have its little spin and everything
it's kinda weird seeing blizzard like trying to have a stake in like every multiplayer genre tho
makes me think what a super smash type game with blizz characters might look like
i think lana del rey is perfectly suited for drive bys
you know what the characters of overwatch remind me of
saints row 3
they totally have that delicious candy plastic look to them
it just isn't

that's germanist
that's racist
yea i added "visually" in my edit just in case that wasn't clear (which i guess wasn't)

I still don't get why this FBI agent hates me so much in Alan Wake.
He is just frustrated that he can't accurately express his true feelings for Alan.
Oh that is really stupid. Man they're making a lot of people mad. I'm most likely not going to buy GTA V if they don't fix this.

Beat Red Faction: Guerrilla tonight, took me around 10-12 hours, had a really good time with it, blowing stuff up and knocking things down with the hammer never gets old, kinda bummed though that in the transition from GFWL to Steamworks they removed the cheats option, so during the campaign I unlocked cheats for doing certain task, but I have no way of activating them because the option is removed, also the enter code option doesn't work which allowed you to enter DLC codes to unlock stuff like a dope ass golden hammer.
Overall though, I had a really good time, I'll probably leave it installed for a while and just mess around in the open world when I'm bored and maybe mess around with the multiplayer some more.

I'm still so psyched about Valkyria Chronicles being on Steam. I just want so many more JRPGs on there, damn it. ;_;

Me to, me too. Also let's hope they be awesome and release VC2 and 3 on Steam. I think I'd die of happiness.
The Ivalice pack(Final Fantasy Tactics, Vagrant Story, and Final Fantasy XII International) needs to happen. Some of the Tales, Persona, and the Kingdom Hearts games as well. That will satisfy most, I'd wager.
Edit: Oh, and let's not forget some of the Dragon Quest titles(VIII please) and Ni No Kuni.

I'm sure that they're at the very least considering it, since I can't see VC not being a success, especially since it had such momentum going for it when it was stealth announced. It'd be simple to capitalize on the popularity, and might even revitalize the brand if everything goes well.
I don't think that expecting FFXV and Kingdom Hearts 3 to come to Steam is that big of a stretch, since they're being developed on Unreal 4. They'd definitely be easier to port than custom engine games. I'd rather have some real SMT games (might not be a stretch either, since Atlus is under Sega's wings now), but I'd expect Persona games more, since they have cult hit vibes going for them.
Also, if you guys are shopping around for a controller,
the fact that the newest alone in the dark is a budget coop shooter is like the most depressing thing ever
finding out it's 30 bucks is like why would you send this game to die like this
oh man that owuld melt my faces off
just thinking about it akjflkajsdlkasjdd

I'd hope PC gamers would be receptive to Nocturne. Rather enjoyed that title and it's creepy vibes. It got way too tough from what I remember, and I never ended up finishing it. That was circa 2006.

Haven't played Nocturne yet (it's still in its plastic wrap, time pls ;_
, but I'd love to see Digital Devil Saga 1&2 on there. They seem unloved and it's a shame because they're great (...well, I like 1 better than 2, but 2's good too). It'd never happen though.Crimsonclaw111

I can't wait for securom and or Denuvo in GTAV.

Knowing Squeenix, you'd get a direct phone port - synth music, no voice acting, landscape mode only,

Didn't someone from Denuvo already confirm they weren't involved with GTAV?
