Thanks! I saw the completion rates and thought they might still undergoing tests.
Unless it's an overwhelming success, I expect it to eventually come to PC in some fashion.

Thanks! I saw the completion rates and thought they might still undergoing tests.

The Alan Wake games are some of my favorite memories from last gen.
I kind of wonder if Quantum Break will eventually end up on steam like AW did.
MS owns Quantum Break outright, so I'm not as optimistic about that as I am regarding, say, Sunset Overdrive making the jump.

Given how quickly they made money off of bringing Alan Wake to PC, I don't think they can resist exclusivity for too long.

I don't really need a tag, but I figured I'd get one to make people jealous. Is it working?
But JaseC, Microsoft has a rock solid history of supporting PC gaming. And just look at their recent words about supporting PC gaming.
So many words, JaseC.

Their history of support is about as rock solid as an Ubisoft's games framerate.

I've been waiting for that game to release... for forever. I am not even sure how interested I am anymore though cause I haven't followed the development at all.
I remember when the kickstarter was up. There weren't a ton of turn based games like that anymore. So fallout 2 style gameplay combined with zombie apocalypse got me excited!
But... since then... divinity OS, wasteland 2, valkyria chronicles, shadowrun, shadowrun dragon fall... and while I love all those games, I have literally not completed a single one.

I have a feeling they'll have one of those pricey tiers for something like Valkyria Chronicles or Alien: Isolation to jack up the average... I'd stake a copy of Bad Rats on it.
And that would also be a pretty rad way to announce another port or two. I wants me some Vanquish and Bayonetta... But I'll just keep dreaming.
It's already November the 16th.
Going up today (16th)? That's weird. Have they ever launched a bundle during the weekend?
I don't know. I have informed Andrew Reiner on Twitter, he asked me where i am from and that was end of conversation. Also gamestop.com is region locked too. They simply don't care

They did remove the tab for the Flash Bundles, maybe the Sega Bundle will take the FB's place on Monday (not as a flash bundle of course).
Okay so it's been nearly 2 days since we launched Steam News Thread, a thanks to everyone who has taken part.
We need to now discuss on any changes or matters that need clearing up on what the thread should be about.
Most common issues right now:
- is games updates worthy of a post or not?
- what place do reviews have in the Steam News Thread?
- should the rules for the Steam community thread be kept or relaxed.
We've taken a massive dive since we hIt community with off-topic post but with no one to moderate the rules are jon-existent.

We've taken a massive dive since we hIt community with off-topic post but with no one to moderate the rules are jon-existent.
My opinions:
- it depends on both the game and the update. A GFWL removed or cards added is worthy, a bug fix no;
- community;
- kept, and I must say we're doing a pretty good job at keeping them. :3
- is games updates worthy of a post or not?
Depends, right? I'd say only real major updates, like the FTL one.
- what place do reviews have in the Steam News Thread?
I think they are better in the Community thread. You won't find anyway what your searching for and maybe reviews about not recent games, alas not news. Plus, in the Community thread people may comment on them.
- should the rules for the Steam community thread be kept or relaxed.
The rules are in my opinion fine as they are. We can surely be lenient when people are overstepping them a bit, but I think we should keep them as direction.

You can do it either way. I...would recommend doing some of them as you open up the abilities to do them, just to break up the pace of just doing the main stuff.
You can basically leave the Riddler trophies for the end of the game, but there are other smaller side quests that are easy enough to knock out as you fly around. And other ones that are sort of funnily hard enough to do without a guide.
I will leave them unnamed as a fun surprise for you to find out!
- New feature major updates, yes. Small bug fix updates, no.
- I think they're better off in Community, since well, they aren't news.
- Imo they are fine as is.

-I think game updates are worthy of a post if they're significant, the only problem with saying that is what is "significant" so instead how about only if they're paired with a sale of the game? (say Rise of the Triad gets a balance patch and new maps, that alone wouldn't be a post, but that in addition to something like 25%+ off would be fine)
-I don't think reviews should be in the steam news thread, I wouldn't classify someones review as being newsworthy, but that's just me.
-the rules here seem fine, but I'd be down with them being relaxed a bit as well.
Do the sidequests while playing, but ignore Riddler trophies until you're finished the game since some require specific gadgets to unlock and it's annoying to spend 10 minutes trying to get a riddler trophy only to then figure out it was because you didn't have X gadget.
Thanks! It's basically the same approach I had in AA and it was worthy, but this time I'm still trying to figure out this new totally open world.
guys the Portabella Mushrooms are back at wendys
man are they good

Wendys was closed, so I had to settle for two Double cheeseburgers from BK :/
Does Gamersgate really only sell Tages AssCreed II or is it a Uplay key?
I don't think game updates should be posted in the news thread unless they relate significantly to Steam itself, which is to say that unless the games are ditching third-party DRM/networking for Steamworks then they should be posted in the OTs/the game's most recent active thread and/or this community thread. Game updates that just expand upon existing content, like adding a new campaign or whatever, aren't really Steam news per se; they're Steam Community news more than anything.
- Only for major content updates, or other important updates (GFWL being replaced by Steamworks, for instance)
- Reviews != news. In a case where a game's on sale and someone's posted a review of it in the discussion thread, it might make sense to post a link to the review in the news thread ("Such-and-such is 75% off this week - so-and-so posted a review here.")
- I think everyone's been pretty well behaved here. Let's keep the rules as they are and maintain this level of enforcement.
Edit: Never mind, misread the line.

There's no rule against pre-ordering? It's hyping pre-order bundles with no knowledge as to what they actually contain that's against the rules.
Seems to me that:
"New Groupees Valve bundle up for pre-order, just FYI." = Fine (like information and discussion)
"DOODS, pre-order the Groupees Valve bundles, it's totes gonna have Half-Life 3 in it!!1!one!" = Bad (blind, uninformed hype)
Derp, I misread the line. Do people even hype pre-purchasable bundles, though? The closest I've seen to it is posting guesses as to what they contain based on teases. That's not hyping.

I think any real hyping happened like once, the first time, and then everybody got burned. Then a little hype the second time around, but most people were a little more cautious.
Seems most people learned their lesson, and there probably won't be much hyping from now on. But still, it's a decent rule to have anyway.
The only one I remember in recent memory was the posibility of Double Neon Dragons being part of a Grouppes bundle because one of the drawings look a lot like a dragon head. Thats hardly hyping it up.
Yeah, I wasn't implying it's without merit, just thinking out loud.
Edit: Moving on, the first (post-Sequence 3 spoiler)
time rift thing
Given the event that spurred the rule, I personally think it's kind of ridiculous, myself. The problem wasn't that the bundle in question was bad (quite the opposite, IMO), it was that certain people here wanted something from it that it failed to deliver on (because apparently "doujin" = "visual novel" and if the doujin bundle didn't have World End Economica in it, it was shit
I exaggerate here, but not by much). That led to the "anti-hype" backlash.
