Sorry mcfishstick, I'm not trying to be rude. I don't even like entering raffles, because I have enough money in my Steam account to get most of the cheap games I want. I just think that the type of people who give away lots of games aren't the type of people who would enter raffles like these.

It's steam sale and you can find lots of great games for cheap, you don't need to spend big. I spent less than 3€ for Rogue Legacy.

Stable framerate, first and foremost.
The ability to push that framerate to 60ffps (I think it's buggy though, because the game wasn't designed for it).
Also, if you never spent $15 on the DLC for consoles, there's that too.

You can't jump as far in 60 FPS and I think some of the ladders are broken. The addition of the DLC is a great point though.

Again, thanks everyone. My questions in this thread are going to seem very novice-level because these aren't the sorts of games I play, but they are the sorts of games my girlfriend plays. I just gave her a PC, and as a long time 3DS gamer, she's experiencing PC gaming for the first time.

She loves story-driven games a la Mass Effect and adventure games like Zelda.
Click to expand...
Not really similar to either, but has she played the original Deus Ex? If she can put up with the 14 years old graphics, there's an incredible game behind it, and one that still holds up perfectly well today.

Darksiders is also kinda similar to the 3D Zelda games, I'd describe it as a mix between that and God of War-like combat. I didn't like it very much myself, and I stopped at the boss of the first dungeon, but she may enjoy it more.

If she wants to experience a deconstruction of the illusion of choice in games, The Stanley Parable is a magnificent title. It can also be described as a "non-game" or "walking simulator" (though I disagree with the former), but I loved it anyway.

I'm going to jump on the party pooper train and say 90% of the humor in To The Moon was absolutely terrible, and that the characters were all basically written the exact same way. There's no differentiation in speaking style between a five year old kid and a sixty year old woman.

OK, OK, I admit it, my tastes suck! Take my recommendations with a grain of salt, lol

I see it as more of a "thank you" sort of raffle for giving to the community.

So, uh, total noob question here.

I just bought the two DLC packs for Lego Marvel. When they downloaded, Steam put up a screen asking if I wanted to install them. I hadn't installed the core game yet, though, so I clicked over into my library and installed it... but now I can't find any sign of the DLC or how to install it?

I've never bought DLC for a game before, please forgive my complete stupidity here D:

I am a "mega-giver" and I have certainly not given away much. Just the odd spare here and there, bundles are plenty and many games occur in those more than once or twice.

If you right click on the game in your library click properties, you can see a DLC tab there. You'll see a list of DLC you own for the game and checkmarks next to what you have installed.

DLC should install automatically when you install the core game.

I thought I'd be able to hold out for a Saints Row IV complete package, but $10 has me rethinking it.

Is any of the DLC substantial? It all looks cosmetic/dumb to me.

The Steam equivalent of the drunk friend who keeps offering to pay your tab all night.
If all those times you saw that $1 bundle and thought "only need 2 games out of 6 so pass!" instead of thinking "oh its $1? lol ill keep my 2 games and give the rest to SteamGaf" you would be a megagiver easily. Megagiver isnt even about money, as Frosty The Snowman said the other day, you could be a megagiver by spending like 3 bucks easily.

The megagiver tag is, at least in my opinion, for those games that are a little more expensive than the usual bundle fodder and that should go for people that actually care and participate in the community.

And if you aint down with that, well... I guess I got 2 words for ya

I only really put the megagiver rule on this one since its on a lot of steamgaf wishlists who giveaway a lot of games. RTS games are also some of my favourite so I might have gone overboard on rules due to excitement.

I didn't mean to offend anyone, but just wanted to give back something I really liked to generous people.

Journal, Day 5........

The natives begin to get restless. There's over a week to go, and I shudder at the thought of what things will be like come Day 10. I'm gathering what weapons I can find and preparing to dig in......................

I knew to expect to be blown away, but I didn't expect that... Metal Gear Rising's opening makes Bayonetta's opening look like a normal game.

THIS was the FIRST boss?

Entered for Puzzle Bots. Thanks for the chance!

edit: and won it as well. Thank you so much. :D

I thought that game was pretty funny and charming, with puzzles that will make you think for a bit, but that aren't very hard (which is great for someone who sucks at point & click adventure/puzzle games, like me). Hope you enjoy it!

Would it be worth popping a thread up asking for recommendations? Won't it get swamped in here? I just popped in and about 50 pages have gone past, so I'm sure people will miss your posts that could otherwise help with suggestions.
