I think, at least on the Android platform, that they'll move into the app sales market as well.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I Finished Limbo finally!
WOW those last like 10-15 puzzles were total bitches! |
Quote:
Played/Finished the game this past weekend. Completely unsatisfied by the ending, but the gameplay was fun. Still, I'd like to slap the developers for trying to be so "artsy" with their approach to the story... Screw them and their whole "we leave it open ended for the player to decide" bullcrap. :) |
Yeah that ending blew chunks :( Very disappointed.
I loved the artiness of the game itself. Once it got 2/3 of the way through it kinda lost the story and the cool atmosphere a little and just became lots of hard puzzles in a row. It added some neat elements at the end but that's when it also got frustrating and grueling. I didn't think it was really openended at the end. I thouyght it was just they didn't actually let us enjoy the ending. |

Exclusive: Valve said to be working on 'Steam Box' gaming console with partners, could announce at GDC | The Verge

not sure i see the point of this unless its less than $400...just seems like a pc to me. But will wait and see.

I can see the point of having a hardware standard that both developers can optimize for, and it could be good for people who aren't big into keeping up with hardware but interested in PC gaming could buy a system they would know could play the latest games. That said, I agree that it will have a tough time taking off if is significantly more expensive that consoles and it doesn't look like something I would be interested in personally. |
What I probably would consider buying is a set top box built around Steam's upcoming Big Picture Mode. Something I could plug into my TV and then connect to my PC through a wifi network plus plug in a game pad. Some way to make it easy to play game from my PC on a TV in a different room.

Thanks to owning 50% of Valve and the pervasiveness of Steam, Gabe Newell is worth an estimated $1.5 billion.

Yeah, it's amazing seeing steam grow like it has. I still remember it as a useless pain in the ass middle man to HL2. Now I won't buy a game if it's not on Steam and I never used to wait for sales.
|
Quote:
Yep same here. The sole reason I never played HL2 until about 12 months ago despite loving HL1 was due to the fact that I refused to download Steam to install the title. Now, it's probably the most used "app" on my PC... |

Anybody download a video card update from Steam? Not doing that again. Still trying to see what all I need to fix since it's been giving me issues ever since and had to two hard reboots.
|
Quote:
ATI card? |
Yep. I did a driver uninstall/reinstall to get it back to sane, but parts of my browser shows an off color when it should be white.
|
Fixed the off color issue.
|
Quote:
ATI drivers commonly have issues, and from what I learned is if things are working it's best not to update the drivers unless you absolutely have to, or you want to increase performance of a game that just had a Catalyst profile updated. ATI drivers can be a pain to deal with, which is why I went with an NVIDIA card, even though ATI cards are typically a better value hardware wise. |
|
Anyone play Heroes of Might and Magic VI?
|
I've played all the others. There is a 6? :D

Yup 50% off right now, I did just buy Trine 2 though. :D |

Steam and the Source Engine are coming to Linux. Great to see, and while it will probably,just be Valve and indie games at first hopefully it will see more companies make Linux versions along the same line as the number of games that have had Mac versions added. |
Took the plunge on the Pole Position 2012 F1 management sim. Still figuring things out right now.
|
Quote:
I was thinking about it a bit last night...decided not to...let me know if I regret it. |
I bought it too and maybe in haste which is not like me. You might want to check out the forum before you decide. I have not been able to get it patched through Steam but it looks like the latest one still has problems.
kalypso media :: forum - Pole Position 2010 / 2012 |
I played it a bit at a friend and judging from what he showed me, this game is plain bad. There´s so many essential things missing (like pit stop strategy. Not being able to set this is like a football game with no manual play calling) and the race engine is beyond bad, nothing realistic about it.
If anybody wants a fun classic (and free) F1 management game as an alternative : Download Grand Prix Manager 2 | Abandonia essential downloads (mods and also stuff to make it work on newer Systems) : Downloads « GPM2World you definitely need : http://www.gpm2world.com/?file_id=26 (newest patch) http://www.gpm2world.com/?file_id=21 (manual) wing32.dll free download - DLL-files.com (dll file needed, has to go in system32 folder (for 32bit Windows) or the SysWOW64 folder (for 64bit Windows) It´s from the same guys that also made the classic GP racing games (which are still a million times better than what has come out in recent years. I would spent hours perfecting my setups to get that precious 1/10 second better and it was so deep and yet intuitive ...) I spent many, many hours with this game. Not flashy, but adicitive and gets the details right (as of 15 years ago, of course). There´s even rule changes included from season to season making certain stuff legal or illegal (thus rendering your work developing either brilliantly spent or useless) and the game is not just fun for a season or 2 but has longterm playability as well. Heck, even injuries from crashes and replacement drivers are in. You can play either 10 years or do 3 years in a scenario mode. Fully customizeable, too (you can change the point system, the power of the engines, the skill of the designers, engineers edit : Here´s the 2011 mod (you only need to download the .dll files above, the mod includes the fully patched game. Just unzip and you are good to go) http://www.gpm2world.com/?file_id=64 |
Thanks whomario; I'll try that. Where were you yesterday when I had my moment of weakness? :)
I'm still hoping that they get PP2012 worked out but I have a feeling that that's never going to happen. What is the Steam policy for returns, anyone know? |
Cave Johnson, we're done here. Hopefullly the level editor include the suction tubes that were cut from the game. |
Just finished all the co-op Portal 2 levels. It was a blast, but it can easily spark some angst among friends.

Gamestop is now selling cards that will let you add funds to your Steam account. Seems like it would be most useful for anyone with kids that wants to give them some money for Steam without giving them credit card info for anyone around here, though you can also get them at trade in value for any old console games. |
I just got or someone just sent me a coupon for 50% off King Arthur 2. Random.

Also, does anyone know how to buy steam cloud? |
Quote:
You don't buy Steam Cloud access directly. There are certain games that have it enabled that will automatically sync your saves. It's not something you can just use with any game. |
Thanks! It's weird that FM2011 is the only one that has it...and I have FM2010 and FM2012. Oh, well.
