Mirror isnt like "Hentai Puzzle".
Its essentially Huniepop with good art.

Yeah, obviously most of those are lazy cash grabs

Would anyone that got the Bethesda emoticon from the cottage be interested in trading it for a different sale emoticon or background or a sale card?
I double checked, and the base game and the Perseus Mandate have it. FEAR originally shipped without widescreen support which is why I thought disc version.
But Era keeps telling me that Ubisoft will abandon Steam soon
And yet everyone lists Ubisoft always as "soon" leaving Steam. It's pretty clear that Ubisoft doesn't have any plans to do so and their recent games even support more Steam features. (Of course they do have some gog and uplay exclusives)
Yeah, primarily on xbox one controller and my older logitech mouse. They last pretty good, but I couldn't say how long exactly, never really paid that close attention that I could even estimate. But yeah, it's definitely nuts to get regular AA's these days, either go with quality rechargeables or a play & charge kit. Long term, I have loops from 2013 that are still going strong.
This one is from a publisher that had a promo where you'd get random free steam keys if you bought their games.
Oh man, Inside is a fascinating game.
Such a great change of pace from the stuff I've been playing, there are no tutorials, no cutscenes, no dialogue, you just play, everything is intuitive and self-explanatory, the game flows seamlessly from the very moment you press start with no interruptions and you're imediately captivated by the misterious atmosphere and intrigued by the boy's circumstances.

I played it day 1, so I think there wasn't a fix at the time, that's pretty much it :)
I hit a point in Risen where I hit a couple of story bugs. I'm going to try to apply the unofficial patch (wish I had looked it up before I started the game). Wish me luck, I may already be dead.
Thanks for checking, it was definitely my mistake then!
Agreed.
TinTin was pretty good unless I'm remembering wrong. Can't wait to hear your thoughts on Rage 2. I don't know what to really make of it after seeing trailers.
Ubi is really making some bank on Steam, damn.
Though the kingdom of the dead is a bit long, it has this track so all is forgiven.
Maybe 3rd of the way through. The second realm is a bit longer (or maybe it just feels longer cuz it's kind of a slog), and 3rd and 4th realms are pretty short.

yeah i liked it a lot, everything's so harrowing about that game and the ending is really something fucking else
Sounds fun. I play everything with a controller though. Even after splashin' cash on fancy-pants M+KB.
Even shooters. After a while you get used to no aim assist on PC.
As did I and it was fine. People here act like unpatched Nier is an atrocity that melts computers.
Well it is not positive, more games are sold on Steam, more money Valve gets and does nothing with them.
Why is the base price for Far Cry Primal still 50€ after almost 3 years? Makes the discount not worth much even with the Far Cry bundle discount.
Waited so long for it to reach a decent sale price already but now I'm almost considering to just skip it and get the much more recent Far Cry 5 instead as it's only 8€ more.

DS2's soundtrack is wonderful. I feel like the realm of the dead would've been better off being half frozen ice and half arid grey wasteland.
I know of their titles and anytime I wanna pick it up, I am held back by backlog and the pricing of them XO.
Money bags aren't compatible with Linux or Mac yet. Those kickstarter keys will be worth a ton, though.
i mean, i feel like lacking any real numbers none of that info is very interesting? like established AAA franchises doing the best is nothing too exciting, specially when very few of the "best new releases" show up on the top sellers list
like the top sellers for new releases gives you no indication how much money any of those made, not relative to other months or other games so it's hard to say what any of that means
like maybe i'm missing something but seems kinda useless??
i think some bits aren't super fun but it's a mostly flawless game and thoroughly impressive
(and i still think the craziest plot twist of them all is when you see the made with unity logo at the end... how the fuck)
yeah idk what this patch is about, i played it on release
Done! I hope I enjoy it more than The Witness. A game I can't say I dislike, the world is incredibly memorable, but I could never really connect to it, and when it ended I felt deflated and bemused, rather than satisfied. Talos Principle does look less obscure and more accessible than The Witness. We shall see... (well, I'll see.)
It shows that good games still sell. People find and buy good games even with all the issues Steam has. Also it shows that you still can earn ton's of money if you give customers choice where to buy games.
Well, applying the Risen patch didn't help, but it didn't hurt either.
Basically, there was supposed to be an NPC that would help me fight a monster I couldn't fight on my own and also tell me where to go. With the help of a guide and a skeleton conjuring scroll, I was able to work around it.
Also, there is a door that you are supposed to open by triggering two winches. I got one down, then quit the game. When I started the game back up, the door was open. I can't finish the quest, but it seems like it doesn't matter.

So, just finished Unavowed
What an amazing game, could certainly be called the best modern adventure game I have ever played. It's note quite perfect, I'd love for there to be a bit more content, though with 11 hours, it's certainly not a short adventure game. It's just that the game doesn't go into a lot of depth with the dialogues. I feel hiring a second writer, and doubling the amount of dialogue would have helped this game a ton. The prologue is also a bit to short, it's little more than a tutorial, and I feel they could have expanded that a lot.
I really like how Wadjet Eye has taken the BioWare model of having a hub area, and choosing a few characters for each mission, and made it work excellently in a PnC game. It's simple, but creates a lot of replayability, while still making each mission feel more meaningful. You can see multiple choices for each of your two characters, and often also things that you might have been able to do, if you had chosen a different party.
On top of that, I really love the setting in this. It's taking the Blackwell setting, supernatural ghost-filled New York, and bringing it to the next level. Essentially, all myths and legends are true, and a secret organisation - the eponymous Unvowed - must keep the muggles, sorry, mundanes safe. Maybe it's because I was already a fan of the Blackwell games, but it made the world feel almost effortlessly interesting.
I really hope Wadjet Eye keeps making these big adventure games forever. Technobabylon, and now this, they really manage to top themselves with each project. Ups, thanks Knurek , guess I messed up there.
The increased resolution in this is noteworthy, but feels secondary to all the interesting design ideas they introduce to the genre, honestly.

Wait, is it really mostly negative just because they made the main character orange instead of black? That it?
Fucking dumb.
Fucking dumb.
i heard good stuff about unavowed, i want to play it
the latter is straight up bollocks since there's no real sales data here, we can't tell if these games made "tons of money". the best info i can get from this is that new F2P games don't seem to do too well on steam. you can also sort of deduce that these stats aren't super encouraging as they have pillars of eternity 2 in the top sellers of its month and afaik that game kinda flopped?
the former is also kinda weird since while it is a list of (mostly) good games, just like the top sellers list, it relies a ton on branding and name recognition (as in, "from the makers of FTL comes into the breach")
like i haven't been keeping up with 2018 as much as i wish i was so can't really argue that important games are missing from that list but for me lacking any real sales data this ranking is about as pointless as it can be
what's hilarious is these people are complaining about snowflakes overreacting over nothing
both are questionable

Previous years Platinum Tier was reserved for games that sold 1M or more copies, Gold was 500-1M i think and so on. So we know rough data. And it does show that games like GTA V, Ubisoft games and TES Online that are all sold outside of Steam on separate launches still sell well on Steam despite they being available for cheaper on other platforms.
Civ V and Civ VI in the >50,000 simultaneous players. Only games that have the same or more simultaneous players and are older than Civ V are TF2 (2007) and Gary's Mod (2006).
EDIT: Gonna go out on a limb and say Counter Strike 1.6 is the oldest game on the "Most Simultaneous players" list by a long shot. They date it coming out in 2000 which predates steam and that might be when 1.6 came out.
