Just had a pretty fantastic Injustice session with friends. The game is still a lot of fun even if you lean on the side of button mashing.

The net ode feels pretty tight in our private lobbies too.

Speaking of Wolf 2009 and Blur; is it possible to find a retail copy that also has a Steam code with it?
 
Enjoy

Acti didn't start using Steamworks until MW2 in November 2009. Wolf09 predates this and while Blur does not, it missed the bandwagon nonetheless.

Tried categorizing my monstrous library so I can get through my backlog. Now I've got 5 games narrowed down and I still don't know what to play.

GAF, which should I play out of: FEZ, Might and Magic: Clash of Heroes, Serious Sam 3: Jewel of the Nile, Volgarr the Viking, or Waking Mars?

Volgarr and then Waking Mars to lower your blood pressure.

Jewel of the Nile is only a couple of hours long, so you could run through it while waiting for proper answers. ;)

Might and Magic CoH took me 40 hours to beat on my very first playthrough. All later playthroughs take me an average of 30 hours. I LOVE this game, it's a close contender for my Game of the past Gen. All those games seem short so if you want to save longer games for last, start with those then jump into CoH. Else I recommend CoH, it's that fun and looks great.

This isn't the first time I've seen that in this thread. But I just couldn't get into the game at all. :( (And I do like the genre.) What am I missing? Does it take time to get good or something?

It starts slow but I liked it.

I will say that I normally don't like that genre much. Maybe it's made for people like me and not people like you who do.

It depends -- score junkie bullet hell veterans seem to dislike it because the power ups are randomized making it inconsistent for score runs.

I just happen to think it's a great throwback to games like Gradius/R-Type/Life Force/etc with the side scrolling shmups. I like the different special mechanics you can select (time rewind, reflect, etc.) as well as how the ships have different specials. It looks really nice, it's responsive, and it runs at a silky smooth 60fps.

The only thing I had some issues with was that in places the blue bullet color can sorta blend into the background, but I have that problem more on Vita than I do on PC. I actually own it on all 4 consoles... and I'm not sure I can say that for any other game.

Haven't bought anything in months I think, outside of humble bundle, and I've got that steam itch to start buying again D:
MK or Injustice are looking tempting though. I don't feel like they're going to go substantially cheaper.

This is exactly what I was hoping for. I'm not a score junkie or bullet hell guy, but namedropping Gradius and Life Force will definitely make my ears perk up. I need to give it another try.

Maybe that's the problem. It doesn't run all that well on the highest settings for me, and there's no way my computer shouldn't be able to handle this game. I guess I need to play around with the options more.

Jewel of the Nile is pretty decent DLC if you enjoyed SS3. The enemy placement in these levels are very good compared to a lot of the base game. Play this if you are in an FPS mood. If not, Volgarr the Viking is one of the best things released in 2013. The game will own you until you obtain perfection.

Y'know, I'm going to make a video just for you, right now I think. :)

is there some hidden option to make the Friends window launch when Steam opens?
so Store + Friends Windows

The "Automatically sign into Friends when I start Steam" (under Friends) option doesn't? That and "Favorite Window" (under Interface) should do what you're looking for, I think?

Edit: nope.

Interesting, my friend couldn't play metal gear rising from my library, tells him it's not available in his region.

The game isn't available in MY region.

There are 2 of us with metal gear rising and the sharing default to my copy so he can't play it and he can't choose to play his other friend's unless de-authorizing himself :lol

Nearing the half way point in DmC 2013, played up til I got to the
Succubus boss fight.
Gotta say the characters and dialog up til that point were bearable for the most part and didn't annoy me. Although Kat's got a sweet tight ass, but she'd prob. give me AIDs...

Haven't had to use Items so far, but need to time my dodges and I'll be fine.

EDIT: Which bundle atm has 8-bit Commando?

Getting the hang of the gameplay but I keep forgetting that Shoulder Button+X/Square is the grab move lol.



The fuck?
I've got NVidia Inspector so I just find the game thru it and set VSync to Forced On?

Is this DmC or DMC4?

The level design tells med DmC but Dante have his normal hair? How come?
 
I tried, but shadowplay was being a bitch. I'll try tomorrow. At least I know what stage to checkout for what I wanted to show (I'm good at the stages, but get hammered by the bosses. ;) )

For some reason, shadowplay isn't working for me with Sine Mora at the moment... I don't know why.

Instead, I went and found a YT video of some high level play on hard mode:

Keys were retroactively added to Groupees' first Retro bundle a couple of days ago.

This still makes no sense. :\

Also, the reason you might think 8-Bit Commander is currently in a bundle, other than the normal key added for past bundles and some showing up in modbot raffles, is because the similarly named 8BitBoy is in the current Indie Gala Monday Bundle.
