lol nice. Has anyone actually played this game just to see how shitty shit can get?
nope. its a Warner problem, the Batman games were the same, it defaults to your local language, but those you could change it in the .ini, Gauntlet aparently you cant

I assume you are already aware of this but adding a custom amount to my wallet with enhanced steam didn't work earlier today. Tried to add 9 and saw 5 being effectively billed. Then again it could be an error on my part.

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 have, and I found it surprisingly not-shitty in a B-movie kind of way.
Yep, I've got that fixed in the dev build and it'll be fixed in the next release.
Nope.

What are we complaining about today?
Yeah, that coupled with ES' continuous scrolling is going to be super handy come the Autumn/Winter Sales.
Pixar's new logo sequence, even though it's great.

jshackles, what are your overall thoughts on this update so far?
"dem motherfuckers be stealing mah ideas man!"
Maybe something like "You can do almost anything in this RPG, and the combat is superlative." 82 characters left over. The curation page only shows the game name/icon and the curation text, so if someone doesn't know what the game is and the text doesn't tell them, it's just an in-joke.
The one for Critter Crunch is kinda the same. ""KAWAII AF! Also really fun, and cheap!""? "Kawaii?" thinks the uninformed user, "must be some anime platformer or something."
Warner games handling of language selection. Games that revert back to my system language at windows startup are already breaking my balls pretty big, this is on another level.

damn man I FINALLY have some free time from work and I don't even know what I want to play... hmmm... I guess I'll keep playing state of decay, if not I'll get back on xenoblade chronicles on dolphin.
While you decide, why not play a few turns of Civ V?

If they can't be arsed to click on the games recommended because of their own ignorant assumptions then they don't deserve the experiences to be found. You must believe the Neogaf. Believe.

totally awesome.
Aw damn
I don't know how I'd feel about this.

It's not like the games would be suddenly on your account.
Considering the stuff GTAV is getting away with as well. It's still pretty odd.
Showing 1-5 of "trust me, it's great."

I think it's pretty good but I wish that the content curators portion of the update was less "in your face", especially in regards to content curators that you don't follow or that don't even write reviews in your language. In my opinion, they should have made this sort of thing optional, and only show recommendations from content curators on app pages from curators that you actually follow.
I'm very happy that Valve saw value in adding quite a few of Enhanced Steam's features, because this means that more people have access to them (only about 1 out of every 60ish Steam users use Enhanced Steam).
One thing I'm excited about is it seems that each section of the store that I've looked at so far has (more or less) been properly classed and IDed by Valve. This means it'll be much easier to let users decide (using a yet-to-be-developed feature) which content they'd like to see and/or what order they'd like to see it in. This will apply to the home page as well as app pages and possibly others.
And then there's the fact that it broke a lot of Enhanced Steam's functionality... But that sort of stuff can be fixed fairly easily.
Overall I think it's good but I imagine Valve isn't done tweaking the new store rollout's features just yet.

Hello.
Hi.
Have you READ this thread?
Game goes on sale.
People wander in.
Is game worth $x.xx?
Random replies: yes, no, maybe, whatever
Repeat ad nauseum.
You clearly don't belong here, ser.
Progress is being made!
I've got a list of about 15 things like this that still need fixed up today before I can release a new update.

Someone buy this man a beer. A beer made of high-fives and bro-fists.
I laughed.
Dammit. I need the OLD Rocksmith to go on sale.
bold makes you sound like a 4k gaming snob.
Outland is a solid metroidvania type platformer with an Ikaruga type light/dark polarity mechanic. I had fun with it for the most part (though I think the last boss had me raging a little) and would recommend it to anyone looking for that type of game. And, as y'all probably already know, it's better than Strider.
NAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLEEEEEEEEEEDDDDDDDD ITTTTT!

That's what all recommendations are. No matter what is said, investigation is how you find out if it is for you as well as it was for them.

As long as it is censored properly on feeds and stuff like that, so far that can be iffy. I check my steam in public sometimes.

Too bad that the front page version doesn't look nearly as good as the old ES version's
I don't know who thought it would be a good idea to put "IN LIBRARY" and "ON WISHLIST" over the logos for the games themselves, but I don't like it. It's another gripe that I'll get over, but it's poorly handled in my opinion.

I could definitely see images being censored if even allowed.
I know they did it for Rust.

Lol at the Shan Gui description, oh you neogaf curator...
TBH I just think Valve had to do something else because they were too ashamed to rip off ES design completely in the end.

So, yeah the tutorial for Gauntlet is kind of annoying, but past that it's pretty fun. Mindless, sure. But it's Gauntlet, so...
Will report back after playing with buddies like god intended.

replaying vampire the masquerade again
that fucking hotel level, my brain forgot that part of the game on purpose
So scripted but so good. One of the better scary levels in gaming IMO. It worked really well.

Why does Downfall need to be Greenlit when the wonderful Cat Lady is already on steam? Bought it on GMG originally as it came out long before the steam version, should gave the latter at some point.
The recommendation for Crimson Clover ("The labor of love manifested into one of the best games of the shmup genre.") tells me it's a shmup. That tells me that if I like shmups, I might like Crimson Clover. Instead, the recommendation should be "Fuck you, it's a good game and if you need me to tell you about it you don't deserve to play it."

Off The Record has the updates to it making it more accommodating to newer players.
DR2 however is the actual canon entry in the series.
So take with that how you will.

Really? I just was going to post how much fun I have been having with it. Are you playing co-op?
Freedom = $1.05

I really liked DR2 back in the day. It's not perfect, but it was really a fun time had wheeling around an electrified wheelchair an destroying mobs of zombies.
DR2OTR is basically an expansion/reimagining of DR2 with DR1's Frank West as the lead. I haven't played it (saving it for Oct) but from what i've gathered it's better to play it after DR2.

so basically you aren't interested in Early Access for F2P games?

I've been having fun as well, just by myself for now. It's not as much like Legends as I would have liked, but it's still damn fun.
that's a bit confrontational dotchathink lol
about to take it for another spin. like I said earlier it was nothing but first impression based on the tutorial and little else, and on the fact I bought it at launch which I never would before russian prices

That's actually kind of how I felt at first playing tutorial. It's pretty fun co-op though. There is this whole help each other out vibe but as soon as there is a slight shimmer of gold it's every man for them self thing going on.
It's Gauntlet. If you have ever played Gauntlet you kind of know what you are getting here.
"Kawaii"? Seriously? Whoever wrote that couldn't have just used "cute"?

Stop being so tsundere.
My gosh, that TotalBiscuit fellow is one popular biscuit.
Anyway, I finished Remember Me last night. The last remix was pretty crazy, but then the ending from there was kind of lame, in a Mass Effect 2-ish ending kinda way. I'd still recommend the game at $6, and I'd say it's a solid 7.5/10. If the combat had been just a tiny little bit less of a pain in the ass, I'd say 8/10.
