~500 hours down the drain, yeah I'd definitely never play it again.
Also, I really should stop bullshitting & go pre-order Bayonetta 2.

It was inevitable.
Was it? Was it really inevitable?

Yeah, sales is more appropriate to say for this Steam latecomer. I am super anxious from a rough day at work and was grumbling at not gaining Modbot's favor this time around. =p
I think I'm going to pull the trigger on The Evil Within. I've got some Paypal dosh.
For the record, I got my key for Thief on February 18th. The game launched seven days later. So yes, probably.

Because Unity won't even have accents, that's why.
Hey, welcome.
I know, hence my reply.

I was in an MRI for two hours and when I got out, I didn't know what directions were for the rest of the day.
Hm.
Yeah, Civ: BE is sure to have a Civ: BE Complete by the next Summer Sale. Same reason I'm holding off on BL2.5; I'm honestly shocked the first Destiny ExPack is coming out four months (three, really) after it launched.
Unity may also be a contender, since I know someone who actually worked on it and I need to pay for his shelter.

I really should play Fable Anniversary to get the Playfire rewards but I haven't been in the mood to play anything in the last few days. Gamers block.

I've been having that lately. Oddly enough, Borderlands is helping to clear it.
For me, it's more Destiny. And also Fancy Skulls.

I reinstalled Max Payne 3 hoping that would help because I've been wanting to replay it but it's not helping, hopefully I get over it before Shadow of Mordor comes out.

I'm so close to get back on steam games. Just 2 bosses left with only a path of grinding holding me back.
Considering it's such a horrible game, that's no real surprise.

Consider me a dual denizen of NintendoGAF and SteamGAF as well. Bayo2 looks amazing.
My friend was talking about Shadows of Mordor earlier, but I don't really get the appeal.

Max Payne 3 on easy and with Auto lock on aim was a fun game for me.
Reminded me of Man on Fire basically which we all know it was. I'm just a sucker for my cinematic games.

stump had a Wii U long before me, and also bamboozled his way into getting it for $90 by maliciously abusing some store's rewards policy:
[12:38] [stump] zellie-chan: two months before wii u release i spent $90 on $200 worth of chocolate bars, which due to a mishandled store promotion got me $200 worth of store credit; the store later had a promotion making the $200 equal to $250 in store credit for one day only.
[12:39] [stump] no dishonesty at all
[12:39] [stump] just stacking promotions
[12:39] [stump] they had $4 chocolate bars on for $2 and had 100x the store loyalty points the same day
[12:39] [stump] that's not my fault.
[12:40] [stump] they then had a promotion that redemption levels for store loyalty points were boosted
[12:40] [stump] that's not my fault
[12:40] [stump] and they put wii u on sale
[12:40] [stump] that's not my fault
[12:40] [stump] i did have to buy all of the chocolate bars they had, though.
[12:40] [stump] so it was a weird experience
STEAM | September 2014 II - that's not my fault
Also did stump livestream or something where did I miss this

I SO approve of that title.
Well, there's a really simple way to put a stop to the jokes.
I wonder.

Dude... just no, the game is great, the combat is arguably the best third person combat around.

In New Jersey? Occasionally. Outside of that, nah, dawg. Max Payne 2 did it better. Max Payne 3's awful revive system, sluggish approach to aiming, poor implementation of cover systems, and the like really held it back.
Plus, I mean, it's Rockstar writing, so it's horrible and soulless.
We're talking about a game with a level that flows like this:
~10 minute cutscene.
~Walk down alley--run is disabled, but a child screams at you to run.
~cutscene
~walk out of cess pit and up some stairs
~cutscene
~walk halfway down an alley, meet vacationing cop
~cutscene
~walk the rest of the way down the alley
~cutscene
~2 minute long fight
~walk out
~cutscene
~next level
Call of Duty features more gameplay than this.

I can agree with some of those points but calling it a bad game is a little much it does way more right than it does wrong.

The Steam client isn't loading backgrounds for any games, any game I click on just has one of those different colored backgrounds like it shows when you click on a game that's been removed from the store. Is this happening to anyone else?
It really doesn't. It does very little right. What it does right is almost exclusively what it borrowed from Remedy.
Aside from that, it's a poorly-written, poorly-designed game with bad pacing issues, bad levels (there are at least five, count 'em, FIVE sequences in the game in which you sit still and point at dudes in a shooting gallery)... really, just about bad everything.
Good presentation and cues from Remedy doesn't make a great game when Rockstar went out of its way to ruin just about everything else.

I have beat Max Payne 3 eight times and very rarely used cover. It's all about throwing yourself behind something, then throwing yourself right into the fray. The aiming is as far from sluggish as you can get, playing with a mouse makes the shooting feel like perfection. And if anything the revival system keeps the pacing frenzied and allows you to keep in the action. If you dislike it there's always classic mode!
And Max Payne 1 and 2 had horrible encounter design. Most of the time you would walk towards a door and BOOM out come 3 enemies. Monster closets everywhere, those games were built around the quick save system. Variety is certainly there but running on ghost lines and warping hallways gets boring after the first playthrough. At least in Max Payne 3 I can just read a book or something during the cutscenes.

I was worried joining this thread would make me buy more Steam games than I need to (especially given my backlog). Instead, I just want chocolate bars.
Playing Binary Domain with a gamepad feels so good. I generally prefer a mouse for aiming, but for a TPS, a gamepad just feels more natural to me for some reason.
