Still seems weird to me that Steam, GOG Galaxy, Epic Store Launcher, and Battle.Net works fine for me, but the Origin client keeps fucking up itself.
I would also like to vent about the useless Trove sword packs that are impossible to unpack or sell on the market. :|
Glad I picked em up.
Was tethering on that lazy edge of not caring but glad I did. Good on them for doing that.
But I don't want to click 'install' on anything I don't want to install... what if it's forever associated with my account? What am I gonna tell people?
"Hey, did you play Trove? I saw it in your library..."
"lol, no."
"But I saw it..."
"...ok, look I just had to install it momentarily to unpack a swo-"
"Ew no, I'm leaving."
"No wait you don't understand, Madjoki told me I had to... look come back, please. Please don't take my kids, NO PLE-."
Happy New Year Everyone!
Been playing The Free Ones in the last hour. It's neat. Little bit unrefined mechanically and visually but overall pretty enjoyable so far. The VO for one character sounds pretty mechanic. Some of the passages could be more open about where they want you to go and some were lacking a cool soundtrack to underscore what you were doing. Going by the Steam Reviews it doesn't seem to long so it takes an afternoon or two. Will probably finish it tomorrow.

And all is well again. I finish the sale with a level 6 Steam Awards badge, and managed to level my profile up to 15. Think I was level 9 or something before, so a very productive sale indeed.
EDIT: Ok, I just got a 502 bad gateway error page. Didn't even know such a thing was possible in the desktop client lol.

I played Yonder a bit on console. It was definitely really chill and laid back. I bought it again on PC but haven't gotten back to it.
Portia I just bought and haven't tried yet.
Yonder felt more about adventuring, then farming. You do get to do Some of that on the side. I think I left off after I had established a stable of animals.
lol I'm positive I never made it out the first area despite all the warnings.
Having the most simple, dumb problem but cannot figure a solution.
Besides a controller I have a arcade stick connected to my PC, however for selected titles this can cause an issue where neither controllers respond in-game. How can I temporarily turn off the stick in Windows or Steam other than always yanking the USB? There's a 'remove device' in device manager of course but that completely wipes the installation, I'd just need to click a box to hide the controller.
edit. Right so under device managers HID-devices I have to single out the arcade controller and there Windows provides a simple turn off option.

Really? Having bought and finished Obra Dinn, and if anything I feel it's underpriced for how great a game it is. I don't want to guilt you into buying, games' already a success for Lucas Pope (of Paper's Please fame), but I just don't like this attitude toward an entire sector of gaming (far more than any one genre, after all), and will always call it out
Oh yeah, I agree it's not a great attitude and I'm sure the game is worth it, but I don't know if I've paid full price for a game on Steam in general in years
Wash that Piranha taste with some sweet tangy Reality pump " two worlds 2" flavor .
lol this is me but it's the alternate history card instead.Steam is messing with me again.
TBH I was giving Two Worlds a look the other day. I've always heard that series is crazy. But I didn't want to start up another RPG just yet.
wholeheartly agreed, so many AAA games treat your time like garbage and for some reason we think they're worth money just because of that. i appreciate games that don't waste my time
Yeah, I know, I had even gotten Gothic 2 running but I think I will hold off on that for a while. InquisitorAles says I shouldn't play Two Worlds, but his review is in a language I don't understand, so I'll just ignore that ;)
I'd like to finish Fallout and Risen 2 and then decide what to play. I'm considering picking up Pillars of Eternity again, maybe Satellite Reign, maybe something completely different.
I swear steam does this on purpose to get people to buy cards on the store to give them money.Steam is messing with me again.
Yeah, I've beaten Gothic 1 - it's just that after Elex and Risen 1 and 2 I should take a break from that kind of game, especially with the ancient controls in Gothic 2.
Oh yes, I had to patch it up quite a bit just to get it to run.
Neither are remotely close to Dragon's Dogma.
You can't go wrong with Dark Souls, 3 being a lot faster paced than the older ones, even if it doesn't have the interconnected level design of DS1. Still decent, plays well, more accessible.
Ni Oh I would say definitely no, it's a Diablo-like first and foremost, where you will vomit gear with each instanced mission, making exploration of the super small and bland levels 100% pointless, you'll never get anything of value in any loot cache, just rush the boss and kill some player ghosts if you need gear (and you will, cause it's grindy as fuck).
Biggest problem of the game being that you see pretty much all the enemy types in the tutorial and then fight the same stuff again and again (outside of youkai which are ok but super boring when you know the best way to break them).
What're your specs? I tried this a few weeks ago, and the performance was awful. Too bad, because I love platforming with a grappling hook.
yeah, this is very undeservedly overlooked. Gorgeous and a lot of fun
edit: and it's only $3 during the sale!
For a moment I wanted to say someday F76 will have a bug that causes the game to delete itself, but I remembered that's old news thanks to Bethesda's amazing client.
Do you have any recommendation for games similar to DD? I found DD to be a little easier than it should but the overall combat made up for it.

hard to say, there kind of isn't anything quite like it, tho monster hunter world is kind of the closest i've seen
Dark Souls III is easily the best game of 2016 and still has a healthy population (nearly 12K players right now).
Nioh is primarily a loot grind. The gameplay is all right, but I didn't like much else about it.
It doesn't say permanent for me.
The former was earned, but Ban Puncher gets banned all the time. Hopefully never permanently, as the forum needs some personality, even if the trolling is technically against the rules.
