My opinions on the new additions I have played:
TIMEframe I found an enjoyable hour or so that it took.
Rituals is similar concept except I didn't enjoy it much at all.
Chromasquad is a cute little tactical-rpg-show-sim-ish game to play in small doses, I haven't finished it yet though.
Beat Hazard is fun if you have your own music to play super asteroids to, especially with a co-op buddy.
 
Finished Song of the Deep, 9 hours so decent lenght for the genre (how long to beat had it at 6 for the story but I did a fair bit of exploring for items as usual in these games, those 6 hours must be really rushing). Great game, except for one particular enemy that shows up late in the game, and the physic-y nature of the game sometimes is a little cumbersome, but overall very worthwhile metroidvania (yes Ill continue to call them that).

I got interested in the game by reading your impressions so I went to check the game and put it on my wishlist when I saw the ridiculous price in my country R$99,99. I thought it was some kind of error but one of the developers said it's this way to match the retail price (wut). Funny thing is the price was raised two weeks after the game releasing.

Even if the game looks interesting I'm not going to support these developers.

GWENT is going to be a killer-app on Steam. It is already amazing in terms of (French!) voices, art, and the reduced randomness for a card game. The flavour text on all the cards is great and perfectly translated. Same for the voices of each card.

 
More Freedom.

So it won't be a GOG exclusive?

JaseC posted that it would come to Steam. Thankfully since the game deserves exposure.

Imagine: a card game with less randomness than the usual contenders, no mana-screw, apparently a bit of strategy depth, and great art and voices (maybe several lines per card, I'm not sure).

I'm in the closed beta since it started sometime last year. Don't think I ever started it.

I recently finished Chroma Squad the other day.

It's really cute and funny! It's even better if you're a power rangers/sentai fan.

one thing i didnt like about it is that you can't undo your moves like in Disgaea...

With all the people switching between trading card games on Steam, without finding a good F2P one, I think GWENT will find its audience.

The trailer is funny.

The artwork is pretty good!

with pillars of eternity is it required to pause gameplay etc ?

Yes? It is a real-time-with-pause combat system. By its nature you will have to pause regularly to manage your actions / strategy / tactics to suit the situation and fights. You can slow down / speed up time when ever you want also should you need to.

Is it bad whenever I get a random friend request, I go to check to see if one of their most recently played games is CS:GO, and if it is I will always decline the invitation?

In my opinion, those that play tons of CS:GO are trash Steam Friends

Isn't this because you enter for those giveaways that often require you joining steam groups?

I get a lot of random invites, sometimes it's GAF'ers, sometimes it's people who like my videos on YouTube, sometimes it's people who like my games I release on Steam, sometimes it's people who add me because I have a high Steam level and a shit ton of Steam games, sometimes people ask me because of posts I make places, sometimes it is groups (though I try leaving most after joining these days, I hate the notifications), etc.

So as I get so many I've come up with some strategies to deciding if I should accept or not. One is if CS:GO is in their most recent played games.

You could also use the Steam level as a threshold. Anything below level 10 would be dismiss.

So... apparently a celebrity here in the Netherlands got into some freaky pee sex and the video got leaked. Yeah, that's about it. How's life in other countries?

Some people have plundered a sportswear shop and a supermarket as a protest against the police after a policeman accidentally raped a young man.
A candidate for the presidential elections who is married to his former French teacher had to dismiss rumors that he was having an affair with a young man who owns some media.
Every week for the past month, there has been a revelation of a scandal regarding the guy who was the most likely future president and who was presenting himself as the most honest and law-abiding candidate.
All of this is helping the far-right party, and there are allegations that Russia might be behind some of these revelations.
To be continued...

I hope when Greenlight dies, all anime games die with it.

kidding

Unfortunately you will likely get the opposite for everything - influx of everything whether good or bad.

What I am curious about is how this thread will handle it. Greenlight still provided an interesting point of reference for possible upcoming games. With Direct, they just all be on the new releases list and a lot of them - I assume many of which are awful (in greater proportion to now, assuming you are not looking at "Popular" New Releases.

What I am thinking - and hoping - is that the new Steam Client is way ahead of where we think it is, and that releases at the same time as Steam Direct, with a whole load of tools and controls for users to mess with it all

That Freedom bundle is so good. Looks like everyone involved is making out well.
yeah some really nice stuff ven though i already had 70% of games there ... still kinda sad that i missed Subnautica by a minute or so (was still stocked before i was entering the payment details and checking out):-(

Ok additions to the Freedom bundle, I didnt have 5 of them and some stuff was actually in my wishlist for a awhile now (Team Indie, Timeframe and Shutshimi) and Grav was one of the survival games I had my eye on in EA (but recent user reviews make it sound like its been abandoned so who knows). Dangerous girls and Ballistick are the others I didnt have, but these additions were basically cherry on top really as I (and I assume most people) got it for the heavy hitters like Witness, Subnautica, Invisible Inc (and Stardew Valley but I had that one) so I didnt expect much to be added.

I'm actually surprised to see how many people here were waiting to see what was added to buy it, after the Witness really, it was clear whatever added would be cheap stuff.

Bad ending IIRC.
That's the normal ending. You can now either continue until the credits roll or try to unlock the "true" ending.

The true ending is only more gameplay tho, from a story perspective it's irrelevant

Didn't they do a similar sort of thing in P3 or am I remembering wrong

Still, it's complete bullshit.
