Is Blade Symphony worth the $3.74?
It looks interesting.

I think Multiplayer is nearly dead, sadly. And this game is Multiplayer only from what I heard.

The problem with The Evil Within is it wasn't tracking on the Steam Community for a couple of days. So we will never know how well it did on launch.
Mordor actually performed very well on PC with a 50k peak concurrent.
I believe the peak player count for BL2 came during launch week.

The ending got me a laugh. I'm sure I'll eventually pick this game up, enjoy messing around with it for 5 minutes, then get annoyed and frustrated and quit forever when I eventually try to complete the objectives (like I did with Surgeon Simulator).

Demo isn't the best word for me to use. I don't think it was an alpha, either. Basically, there was one of those game jams where the idea was to smash out a game with a certain theme... in this case, minimalism.

I forgot to add to the list of games that I want to check out but don't want to pull the trigger on: Always Sometimes Monsters.
I purposefully left out: Hatoful. I just can't. Sorry, SteamGAF. I'm drawing my line in the sand. I'm talking about unchecked aggression, here, Dude.

Everyone should buy OlliOlli. It's a fantastic game!
Just the usual unmoderated off topic junk.
Since they farmed out development, one would assume Gearbox's expectations for Borderands Pre-Sequel are more reasonable/restrained, but by most standards a drop in day one players by almost 60% from the previous title would be a pretty shocking development. But you can put me in the group that pre-ordered BL2 but is waiting for a sale to get TPS, as much because I still have some BL2 DLC to play as any other reason, and TPS never went on sale for as low as BL2 did (I paid $36 for BL2 on GMG).

Cool, thanks. It's hard to tell if 9+ new pages were "Oh my god [X] thing really happened and I [love/hate] it!" or "Hey guys, check out this new waifu picture I found!".

Oh well his is ridiculous: I Moved Mordor to my 2 TB Ex. HDD, but now Steam is downloading the update to the folder it was originally in :/
I'll back up the save data, delete files/uninstall it, then have it re-install in the ex. HDD. Since the Ex. HDD already has majority of the files originally, will it recognize them and just download any missing files/updates?

why are early access games allowed to go on sale?

Well that's certainly interesting. Was that a mistake?Free Wasteland 1
You have to move the .asf file associated with the appid as well.
It's in the Steamapps folder.

Always assume waifu pictures.
Why are there games on Steam that are not completed and not in early access? Broken Age and Spacebase DF9
Just got one too. I feel so special, since it's a rarity to get vouchers from that place. You could get the Uplay version, and then get the Steam version whenever it's cheap. Save some dough.

Depending on timezones, discussion topics included Costume Quest 2, keyboards, video game prices, the Neo-Geo and the potential of ports on Steam, Zeliard and Bayo 2, Grimrock 2, a new mediocre Shiny Loot bundle, and a game called Dinosaur: Resurrection not actually having any dinosaurs in it.
So fucking off topic that it's a disgrace to Neogaf and Steam. May Gaben have mercy on our worthless souls in Volvogeddon.
Even if Valve disallowed discounts on EA games, devs would just leave EA ahead of schedule to get around it.
Are you suggesting there should be no games released in parts or episodes on Steam? No Telltale, no Dream Machine, no Kentucky Route Zero?

A better question would be, why aren't all early access games on sale until they fully release?
Isn't the entire point of Early Access and Kickstarter to fund development? Putting games on sale encourages more people to purchase the game and increase development resources.
DF9 is technically finished as far as Double Fine is concerned. Broken Age part two will likely be released as a separate app, but I am not too familiar with either.

According to the most recent documentary episode they are going to add it onto the end of the first chapter so it's one continuous game
GAF be slippin'
I really enjoyed going through Borderlands 1 with a friend, and I assume I'd enjoy both 2 and this new one as long as I was doing it with friends. Still though, the experience felt meaningless once I'd reached the end of the first since it just kind of stops and does nothing interesting other than let you start over. Not that there was some amazing story going on to offer any closure anyway, but I felt it needed something. That is my main reason for not having bothered with BL2 or the new one.
why shouldn't they be allowed to go on sale?

Hmm so I should copy that file to my Ex. HDD, then delete the original files, then have Steam 'sync' with the ex. hdd when I re-download it?
i dunno why people is always so upset about early access games, you don't like em you don't have to buy them. and they always have a big ass disclaimer on the front saying "don't buy this if you're smart"
would be awesome if there was some accountability for them tho, so many shady projects

it came back to haunt me D:
also for those who hate the blue layout on the steam store, there are themes that bring the old colour scheme back.
eg: https://userstyles.org/styles/105705/raydell-s-dark-steam-ui-theme-only
requires stylish extension on firefox or chrome though

Edit: Thanks for letting me know Shadownet
When you say you moved Mordor to your external, what exactly did you do? Simply cutting and pasting the folder won't work. If you're going to move games to a different drive, either use symbolic links so Steam thinks the game is still installed in its original location or make the second location a secondary library folder, move your game there, uninstall it via Steam, then reinstall it via Steam (selecting said secondary location).

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.
Needs more Steven Weber
Yeah, I often feel that is why Valve isn't doing anything to prevent devs or protect users from what happens with Early Access. Originally people didn't fear it, but then the horror stories come out, people got more cautious - which they should be when concerning something which is so variable and open to developer interpretation.
Early Access should be for experimentation and should be viewed with absolute caution, but for those devs that really make something out of it, the users that buy into that often end up with something brilliant.
I'd argure "Early Access" really is the wrong name for the idea though, because the idea is to also encourage freedom during development which can go in all kinds of directions including starting from scratch. Meanwhile there are still people out there that just associate "Early Access", with something along the lines of "early access to a functional product that will continue to have features added to it and progress through development in a linear fashion - oh and by the way it is cheaper than a normal game" - which is the obvious problem
If they are meant to be episodic i don't have anything against it. Also many of those episodic games have rough release dates for each episode. Broken Age is now 3 years in development with multiple missed release dates and it seems that part two will miss this year release date too. So yes i have issue with Broken Age because i am waiting for ages to finish game.
The didn't fulfil their promises and road maps from early access so game is not finished
I beat you to it yesterday mate
Edit: Don't worry, if you're here a lot. You're going to feel beaten by either Turf, JaseC or one of the other lightning speed gaffers sooner or later. (I'm not one of them)

Super late reply (gotta sleep sometime), but why on earth does Falcom not have Dinosaur Resurrection on their store? ;~; Why won't you let me give you my money, Falcom?

That's why he said "as far as Double Fine is concerned".
Alien Isolation
I've been playing this one since release and have just reached Chapter 7. This is mostly due to leaving it to night-only play. It's the real dead in terms of horror and provides plentiful of scares. The anxiety and fear from being around a Xenormorph is really on a whole other level. There's no running away until you find a hiding spot Outlast-like, if you face the creature -- You're Dead. Hiding in a locker or under a medical table and not knowing if it decides to do a thorough check is a cause for deep breaths. There are a variety of items that you collect, and I'm trying to get as many ID tags as I can and I always read through logs. The environment also has some info sprayed here and there. There are items to collect which you use to build bombs and medkits. I haven't had too much use for the bombs, but I love to flashbang synthetics and hear/see their reactions. This game is a rec....and I can't wait to get back to it tonight.
The visual and audio quality are top notch. There is aliasing due to the shaders, but if you can look to the lighting and visual design instead you'll be impressed. The audio is uncompressed(?) or at least it sounds like it. There is an option for "Full Dynamic Range" which you should tick if you're using a decent set of speakers and/or headphones. It fill the whole room and the positioning is fantastic. Keyboard/Mouse control is pretty good, and setup was breeze because the game doesn't require that many functions.

Sooo does this contain the original game as well?
Where does it show the OARIC flag? I only noticed ARCTAG being set to off recently, before that it was on. And it looks like theres a new non-locked russian sub...i'm confused.
It was genuinely surprising to see Tim Daly as the husband in Madame Secretary. But it fits considering Tea Leoni was in The Naked Truth. I remember watching both their shows in USA's midday syndication block.
It's my fault.
Early last year I was attacked in discussion about how PC Gamers are the master race when I said that Forza and Gran Turismo have no equal on PC because I left out Project Cars. I responded that a game that was two years away doesn't exactly count. I should have said 18 months. Sorry.
