Arkham Knight was the best I could come up with, but even that is "only" mixed.
The other thing I would name is Clive Barkers Jericho, but I cant check the store page for user reviews due to it being blocked in germany.
Wow, somebody takes their achievements seriously.

Not Steam related directly - there will be PC multiplats surely though - but Sony's Paris Week Live Show is about to start in a couple minutes.
Stoked since I missed most shows of MS/Sony and first time in a while I'll be on time.

I always watch Sony conferences. The majority of the games shown end up being multiplatform.

Cool. Will watch.
Will watch for the 0.0000001% chance Kojima walks on stage to announce expansion for MGSV.

Most excited about No Man's Sky for now. Just minutes ago I saw a News Video on a German Youtube page and apparently there are rumors about the game coming soon?! Sadly though, we'll get details about PC release not during but after the show as usual.

If it's PC stuff being shown all is good here, no?
I remember that being posted in the Steam thread a long time ago. But I think it was a bug in Enhanced Steam that was incorrectly calculating percentage of popular reviews. I happened to find this after a quick google search:
https://steamcommunity.com/app/232430/discussions/0/540744936440016201/
I assume if this was a bug, it has since been fixed though, as that was over a year ago.
This is a Steam thread so we only talk about anime. Steam is for outsiders.

Deus Ex The Fall.
I'm serious. I liked it.
It's basically a bite size Deus Ex 3, although clearly designed for tablets.
There will definitely be PC stuff there.
Personally even if they will feature titles that might come my way I just can't stomach Sony conferences these days. Way too many suits, way too much smug self congratulatory talk, Boyes is alright and has some good energy but the rest of them just bore me to tears. If I was suffering from insomnia I'd pop on a Sony presser. 30 seconds of Michael Denny and I'm out like a light and Shaun Ladden probably could do it sooner. Only way to watch any presser and retain some sanity for me is with the Giant Bomb guys yaking all over them.

Those OTs are filled with so many people, I'd rather sit here and keep you all updated on the conference.

That was a really good one and most importantly somehow felt different than other games, something rare and special.Alone in the Dark (2008). I quite enjoyed it
Huh Deus Ex The Fall is negative. I too think it's alright if you come into it with the expectation that it's a mobile port.

I'm really excited for the new Quantic Dream game steam friends
Hopefully if that No Man's Sky sudden release rumor is true we get it the same day instead of them pushing it out for a few months.
I really am

If you add together the first letter of all his posts for the last few months it says "please send help trapped at valve hq" 0__0 oh god poor lashman, we had no idea
we've been misunderstanding lashman all along

I'd rather listen to suits that are capable of public speaking than devs awkwardly bumbling and stuttering through their speech though. A good suit mind, not someone like Don Mattrick.

Holy fuck, February is surely saturated. And it now joins Street Fighter V (Feb 16):
And, 3 major games on the 23th alone, damn :/
It's the best month of the year after all

Far Cry Primal so early already? Man, it must be treated like an experiment by the suits at Ubi.Holy fuck, February is surely saturated. And it now joins Street Fighter V (Feb 16):

Cool that it got greenlit even though it has business cardinal sin of lacking modern weapons.
I'd rather have neither and just see some footage of their game thanks. If you want a good example how to show off your titles to the public go look at Nintendo's output the last couple of years. Sure there's some awkward moments but it's way more informative and digestible than anything Sony, Microsoft, EA, Ubi et al have ever done.
I enjoyed Dungeon of Elements for the time I played it, it's a puzzle rpg hybrid. People who are into that genre would enjoy it I think.
Edit: Also STAR WARS™ The Clone Wars™ - Republic Heroes™ is a solid game, it's only rated that low because of GFWL. And maybe because of all the trademark symbols.
Double Edit: I used to love Deadlock, but that was a long time ago and apparently the Steam version is broken.
Final Edit: I played, beat, and got 100% of the achievements for Kick-Ass 2 in one day. It was mindless enough to play that it fell into the "so bad it's good" category for me.
So yeah, maybe four recommendations out of twenty pages of games. I guess in that respect the scoring does work.
I'm really looking forward to see whatever they got in store for us. Quantic Dream, despite the subpar writing of the games, are great devs. What they accomplished with the PS3 was insane.
Nintendo's isn't a press conference.

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.
That's likely what people are referring to here, but it wasn't so much a bug as it was Enhanced Steam having limited access to review data after reviews were implemented but before the "blue" (v6) store update.
Before the store update, Enhanced Steam had to retrieve the review data manually, 10 reviews at a time via an undocumented and unsupported API. As such, it was impractical to retrieve ALL of a game's reviews, especially if there were hundreds or thousands of reviews. So the compromise is that ES would pull the data 5 times on the reviews voted as "most helpful". In most cases, the 50 "most helpful" reviews were entirely indicative of the reviews overall. In some isolated cases, such as this one, that wasn't the case.
Thankfully, Valve updated the store interface to show data from a range of all the available reviews which rendered the argument presented here mute.

Now you're being facetious. What's the end goal of Sony having an event at Paris Game show? To show off their upcoming titles. Nintendo used to do press conferences but in the age of streaming and instant communication via the internet these events reaching a much larger audience than just the press they changed things up and gave their titles a much more personal touch whilst showing them off. I'm sorry but I just can't get excited about a bunch of executives spewing a load of buzzwords on stage. As I said it bores me to tears. Good for you if that's your sort of thing.

I've seen complaints online that the Steam version wasn't updated to work with some new change they made in the Social Club DRM and it resulted in a lot of users just getting a CTD. I guess I assume they removed it from Steam and are going Social Club exclusive on it for PC now.
Hopefully I'm wrong.
EDIT: And apparently I am!
