I can't believe I missed the Games Recomendation for October - Farming Simulator 15.

It's like my most anticipated title of the year. :(

Sounds like you've got firewall issues. Test with Windows Firewall disabled see if you have any better luck.

I tried that and didn't have any luck. I've also tried connecting my PC directly into my modem and disabling my antivirus and neither of those had an effect either.

kinda sure?

what i find more surprising is that you don't use classic shell. it was the first thing I installed on my computer when I got windows 8. I'm guessing it must be really improved now. I mean I got 8.1 as well but I don't turn off classic shell, works great.

I need to start a new online co-op game with a friend. What are some of the best on Steam? I have 2,000+ games. I maybe have played 5% of them. Here's my profile if anyone wants to see some of the games I have played already:

Most recent ones we went through are Divinity Original Sin and Dead Island Riptide. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Resident Evil 6.
Game is great with a friend so long as you both know the mechanics.

I wish it looked like this:

I wish the whole game looked like this but I know it's not feasible. :( I'm ok with how it's shaping up though.

Yeah I wished the the whole gamed looked like that as well.
Would have actually backed it if it did.
 
Such a long time away from this thread (travels, conferences, work...), it probably deserves a small giveaway. All keys should be unused, if not, I'm really sorry.

Good luck!

Edit: Civ III is Civilization III, not Gal Civ, sorry guys :p

couldn't resist double dipping for toy soldiers for 99p. didn't play more than an hour 2 of that game the first time round on 360 but from what I remember it was enjoyable.
 
sorry for the crappy write up on Dead Rising 3 guys. Completely forgot about it and blasted through it this morning.

Can't wait for the pre-load...Hopefully we can get some GAF co-ops going.
 
Anyone in on some TF2 action? Yes? No?

Normally I would, but the last few times I've played TF2 - on servers I'd played months previously - my ping is always pretty high and I can't figure out what changed. Sometimes I can get away with it when my ping is around 120, but other times it's 450 or higher and it just becomes impossible.
 
Been trying to play some of my steam collection other than Marvel Herioes. Finished Octodad yesterday. I played it a bit when it first came out, got frustrated and quit. I picked it back up from the beginning and took only 4 hours to beat it. I only got 5 achievements so I guess I didn't explore it enough but it was really short especially once I got the hand of the controls. I had fun. It was enjoyable but I've noticed it seems to be more fun for those watching than those playing. my 6 year old daughter was laughing her head off as I struggled through the levels.

did you use a controller or keyb/mouse? I've been wanting to play Octodad (picked it up during summer seal) but unsure of what's the best controller method... the dual analog sticks sounds good but unsure..
 
I sent you a FR.
Says you're offline.

Cool, thanks. :) I had to log out and log back in for it to show up.

what i find more surprising is that you don't use classic shell. it was the first thing I installed on my computer when I got windows 8. I'm guessing it must be really improved now. I mean I got 8.1 as well but I don't turn off classic shell, works great.


My computer is little more than I game box these days. My power user days are behind me.

I used a 360 controller. I tried the mouse and it is far better for precision but with Octodad, precision works against yeah. The only place where its important / useful is a small dancing segment.

Wow, that in some high ping. I don't think it ever got as bad for me.

So Injustice's story mode is so good. I was expecting it to be a little longer than it was though.

Raiden's VO being Joker is a little weird though.

Really is. I'm hoping that Capcom take some notes for the inevitable Street Fighter V, and give us a decent story mode finally.

I got nothing then it's definitely network related though.

It's weird because I can still connect to the DS2 servers and can see messages, ghosts, bloodstains, etc all over the world, but I have not seen a single summon sign or have gotten invaded. I'm playing through the DLC so I know people are in the area. I even tried using the name engraved ring and having my buddy have it active as well and my sign still didn't show up.
