So I need some help finding some good beatemup's for P.C. I've played the crap out of Castle Crashers, so that's off the list. Was looking at the Double Dragon trilogy, but it's got some real negative reviews on steam. And yes I've played and beaten Double Dragon Neon so that's a no go as well.
Capcom's dungeon and dragons duology is on steam
Get it
 
for the new page:

how do you unhide your games in steam?

In your library (using "Detail view"), select "Hidden" from the "Games" dropdown under the "LIBRARY" button, and then locate the game in the list of hidden games. Right-click and select "Set Category", then un-tick "Hide this game in my library".

Click the "Games" button opposite the search field and you'll see a "Hidden" category. For obvious reasons, the category doesn't show when you hover over the Library tab.

Edit: Beaten just like my account functionality.

Can you actually do that? Remove only the license for one of them? Would be cleaner than having to hide it.

they added license removing not long ago did they not?

i just wanted to delete it from my harddrive tho, not remove it from my library

i don't particularly care for collecting games but i'm just as uninterested in tidying up my library :p

I'm thinking of letting You Must Build A Boat go, even as infuriating as it is, I would play it, but those random events with tiny icons are a deal killer, it's just too much and I'm not having fun in general. Still, I will sleep on it, but I think two such games is overkill, 10000000 was enough for me, or so it would seem.
Isn't it weird? when in theory you should like a game, and you want to like it, but just can't.



how exactly your account was restricted?
That message you've got is so valveish, there is no useful information in it at all, as well they could have not sent it.

good luck with steam support!

If you have separate licences for Wasteland 2 and Wasteland 2: DC, then yes, but otherwise no. If you own the DC by way of already having purchased Wasteland 2, then the two games are covered under the one licence and it's not technically possible for Valve to alter the contents without also affecting everyone else.

I'm waiting on Valve to respond to my ticket. Hopefully I'll hear something tonight.

Elite Dangerous has sold over 1.4m copies, developer Frontier has revealed.

That's as of the end of December 2015. Frontier said the space game, which came out on PC in December 2014, "continues to perform well".

Frontier is in the middle of transitioning to a self-publishing model having done work-fir-hire projects for publishers in the past. It has Elite Dangerous, which released recently on Xbox One (a PlayStation 4 version is due out at some point), and the upcoming Planet Coaster both in active development. The "second season" of Elite Dangerous: Horizons launched on Steam as an Early Access product on 15th December 2015.

Frontier made the sales announcement as part of the publication of financial results for the six months ending 30th November 2015.

Vsync cause diagonal tear on my screen. The game's FPS stutters like crazy and fluctuates between 40 and 60 no matter what the setting (980m here) It crashes for no reason, the game's sound is completely off during cut scenes and some of the graphical options don't even work. Also you can't run the game in full screen, you've gotta use borderless windows which is what is causing that diagonal tear across my screen.

Such a horrible port and it's abandoned just like ONe piece and Samurai Warriors 4-II.

Not even the KOEI TECMO brigade can bring this game over an 80% approval rating this time.

I will not mourn the day this company stops making PC games. They are one of the worst. What they need to do is hand EVERYTHING to QLOC.

Woah woah easy there mon, let's not say things we regret later :V
KOEI Tecmo has been releasing PC games long before Steam, but what they need to get through their thick skulls is that their ports or releases need to be of a higher standard.
One Piece, Arslan and Dragon Quest are titles that deserve better presentation than their disappointing ports are.
I do agree though that more PC gaming sites need to call KOEI Tecmo out on this.

Thread is too fast for me to play games and keep up lol

I am sure it was discussed but how is the new indiegala sale? is it good?

Yeah it's like a train, I can never keep up either

The Take-Off bundle on Indiegala is pretty good. Had Darksiders on my wishlist so to get it and a few other games for £2.xx is awesome

you guys don't know what fast is, comparing with how it used to be, I can keep up with it just fine. Then again, I'm a fast reader.



Talking about sales, wingamestore has Evoland II on sale, -50%, probably lowest it has been so far?

Shit ports from Japan are one thing but combined with KT's outrageous pricing... how out of touch can you actually be

Apparently they are very out of touch, as I said we still need to talk to them, seeing as they have no real presence on steam boards, we need to find some other way.

I still dont understand why they dont even try to fix anything.

One Piece has a render distance of 5m that you can change with a mod. This should be really easy to fix, but they havent fixed it yet...

Just look at this:

You should actually see a tower in the background and also enemies...
 
On this Evening, we sustained multiple losses

The invader, changed their tactics, engaging in a full on terror attack in Suez, Egypt. Our XCOM Unit was sent in to deal with the invaders, a squad led by Aleksandr "Mighty" Bosstones.

the Mission was simple enough. Protect the civilians and usher them to safety. We first encountered some floaters. tricky ones to hit, but our soldier did their best, but not without issue. a fresh recruit, Kate Cooper, fumbled at the trigger and was subsequently killed by a Floater. This poor girl had so much hope in her eye.

Soon after we rought vengeance upon the Floaters, something new arrived. it was like nothing we had seen before, like a giant insect. a group of 4 of these creatures skittered in, and tore apart two civilians in front of our eyes. we dispatched them, as quickly as we could, but soon after the bodies of those they gored stood up and went on the offensive. They were quickly dealt with.

It seems we were in the clear after that, but there were still so many people to go and save. The Squad push foreward, going to civilian after civlian.

Fresco Vegetablés
had a very keen eye, and beyond the civilian he was heading to, there he saw it floating in the sky. One last floater. he rush towards the defenless woman to make sure she could escape, but such hopes and dreams were not in his future. He made sure to cover the woman's exit as best he could, and caught a Plasma blast in the back. His loss is a great one to the squad, as he was a great asset to us, and a fine man.


Fresco's actions and deeds until the very end would have made Pamela proud, but at least now they can be together again in Heaven.

Goddammit.

I'll just get it more than likely. Check out videos of all the games later :) Then I can also give a better suggestion for fence sitters as well

Darksiders I played a good while ago , the only thing that made me feel a bit negative about the bundle were the random games like snipe 2 and not other games in the series of games.

mmmmhh..!! At new year told myself I wouldn't buy anything until I made inroads to my backlog. But I'm simply not going to be able to resist the lure of arrows and knives in Dragon's Dogma. Strider skills look so sick.

I'd say the perfect controller lets me have a decent chance at playing any PC game without the need of extra software

I'm with nabs, the steam controller is so damn versatile that now that I'm used to it I have a hard time going back

Amen brother, amen. I initially hated my Steam Controller (or atleast, felt it was a waste of money) until I tried playing Grey Goo with it... And lately I've been playing tons of Mad Max with it, which works incredibly well as Avalanche patched in simultanious KB&M & controller-inputs, so you can have your analog movement with the analog triggers plus proper mouse-aim and it's easily configurable so you have different stuff in-vehicle and out-of-vehicle on the same button. It's great.
Guess who's back :3

Me? Cause I've been back for like, a day.

Although I'm not sure I'm staying, but we'll see where life takes me and all that jazz!

I fucking love these, dude. Like, really. You should make a dedicated blog fo' this shizz!
What I'd kill for US style budgeting and scheduling for TV over here (well for the most part). While I'd do agree too much of a good thing eventually turns to shit and then you end up with Henry Winkler jet skiing but 2 episodes of Luther is taking the definition series to its finest point.

On the other hand, when a show from the UK is good, it's more often than not genuinely brilliant, whereas US shows tend to have god-awful episodes no matter how good the show is. (And overall their shows just tend to be lower quality due to the amount of filler necessary to fill 10, 16, 20 episodes per-season)
