Dungeon Rats is surprisingly cheap compared to Age of Decadence

Another third person RPG with a good story and a good cast is KotoR 2.
There aren't really many of those.
(Though you probably can't fully count that as "action" -- it's more in the middle)

I thought alpha protocol was pretty bad outside the dialog system. Was not very fun to play.
Well, I thought it was extremely fun to play. It's probably amongst my top 10 of that entire era.

thanks for the suggestions, guys!

been looking into them - i kind of want to play Dragon's Dogma (assuming that's what you guys meant by fashionistas dogma), especially after seeing Dr Strange. despite the strong story, i am really in the mood to cast some spells.

i'll see how i'm feeling this weekend. how is controller support / pc performance for D Dogma?

Jade Empire was good too.
at least the few hours I played

I had this problem with Jade Empire twice - once on the OG Xbox, and then later again on Steam. There was no reason for it other than my attention was taken by something else and by the time I returned I could barely remember what I was doing so wanted to start again when I had more time.

Dragon's Dogma does really well on the "Action" part of the equation, and has some of the best offensive spells in any ARPG ever, but its story and cast are utterly forgettable.

yeah, i think i can be OK with that. i'll just play for the "A" portion of ARPG

can you create your own party of companions? or do you pick from a set of pre-created characters? both aesthetically & class-wise

You have one permanent follower and like two mercs you can hire and change out at any time

You create 2 characters, your player character and 1 permanent follower. You can then hire up to 2 other followers (either NPCs or from other players).

I wouldn't say the story is forgettable, though it certainly takes way too long to get interesting, mostly in the last quarter.

Has some great atmosphere too.
 
Loving the refund policy of Valve...

Bought SOMA recently and everytime i quit the game, i end up with a black screen.
ALT F4, ctrl alt del, alt tab, nothing works, i have to shutdown/reboot my PC.

"sorry lol can't refund you played more than two hours"
Yo scumbag, game is not working as intended, period.

Any ways i can get my money back?

"Complete Collection" option is finally a thing?

I've been out of the loop for so long that I only randomly found this today, just in time to get Day of the Tentacle Remastered for 104 yens.

Do another request and stress the issue more, pretty much. If you've played over 2 hours explain why and so on.
 
Dragon's Dogma has such a great feel to it that I never found myself itching for a story. The world, the look of the game, the controls and mechanics, etc.

I'm not Mr. Critical though and I'll gladly enjoy Skyrim, Mass Effect and other peasant titles. ME2 is one of my favorite games of all time.
 

Spirited

Mine is pretty and pink
Dishonored still looks absolutely incredible in 4k dsr. Only thing giving it away as being an i̶d̶ ̶t̶e̶c̶h̶ ̶e̶n̶g̶i̶n̶e̶ unreal engine game for last gen is the horrible texture quality.

edit: nvm, it finally went through.

Hey, has anyone had trouble with buying the humble monthy bundle? I have no trouble buying normal bundles, but when I went to subscribe to the monthly it just got hung up on payment processing. It isn't showing up on my paypal summary yet either, so I'm not sure if I should try again or wait. I don't want it charging me twice.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
I really liked Alpha Protocol but the game was somewhat a disaster.

While it took me less than two hours (113 minutes, to be exact), I've still got to say that I really enjoyed Expand. I got it from one of the recent Humble Bundles, and while it's not super long or overly difficult, the presentation saves it.

The entire game revolves around you moving a square through a circle-based series of levels. Each set of levels has a slightly different gimmick (certain parts of the level move only when you do, for example), and the way each level flows into the next can be downright hypnotic.

Basically, it's one of those "arty" games, but it doesn't overstay its welcome by just having level after level of the same old stuff. Each set of levels introduces a new wrinkle, makes you get used to it, throws in a final test, and you move on. While I wasn't bored with what was there, it probably would have gotten a bit dull if it went on for much longer.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
I wanted to give everyone here a reminder that Extra Life starts in about 24 hours!

Whether you're supporting me, or anyone else I'm excited that people who love our shared hobby can come together and do a lot of good for people in need.

I'm mentally preparing myself for tomorrow by prepping a new release of Enhanced Steam. Lots of fun and exciting stuff hopefully rolling out later today.

REmake spoilers

so if you take the
serum with you to the snake fight and use it afterwards I assume you dont get this little cutscene of someone rescuing you and waking up in the safe room
?

just want to know if its worth reloading or not, if it changes anything

I've donated and I think I commented with my steam profile under donations, but I only see my name. Is that because I've made it private. But you can still see it right?
Seems like your first goal has been reached?
I thought it was $1000 before and now it's 1.500.
Congrats to you and the kids :)

PM me with your details - everyone I can see their Steam profile on the donation should have the Enhanced Steam badge and has been entered into the raffle.

The last dungeon in FFX is tearing me apart. I'm so close to beating it, yet I keep losing my party to random mobs bc I get ambushed during inopportune moments. This is almost playing like a SMT game at this point, where I get whipped out before I even have a chance to react.

Unfortunately it'll be happening during the weekend I'll be taking my college admission tests, but I'll try to at least tune in for a bit during Saturday night :D
