Charlie Murder's playerbase is non-existent, seems odd to just launch it and Dishwasher with zero fanfare.

 

[Knurek]

If you haven't played any vn this is an ok-ish, albeit intimidating place to start providing you can commit to a 25-35 hour experience depending on your reading speed.

While I agree with you more people should read Fata Morgana, there are better games in the genre to start with:



On the account of both being 100% free.
(After you played them and you know you will enjoy the genre, Fata Morgana

Spoiler

and Umineko

should be next though).

 

[ThirtyFour]

That Alan Wake price is too good for me to pass up (especially since it's being removed soon).
Will give it a try once I finish my current run of DS2.

 

[Nzyme32]

The world must be ending, Groupees has a decent bundle.

Bah, I'm off to the Pub. Will look it up on my phone.

Is impossible to buy a gift of a game and put it in your inventory now?

Yeah pretty much. Look up the new gifting policy on Steam. Seems set on curbing resellers / hoarders of low priced stuff / key madness. Still it could change as with everything

 

[paperspace]

Missed the new gifting policy? Yeah they killed that part

That's messed up. What purpose does that serve?

Ah, I see. A real bummer. I was going to put some Alan Wakes in my inventory in case my friends haven't played them yet, but I guess that's out of the question.

 

[Parsnip]

How do I fix this?

This seems to be a problem with pixelvision2 as well, time to update.

In theory, could you not simply do the same with keys via somewhere like Humble and save the keys for later? You can still add keys as normal, whenever you want on Steam. A while back I was giving away OG Prey keys I accumulated - not for sale on Steam but always available to be claimed if you have key

 

[someguyinahat]

Apparently something to do with making sure people don't abuse price differentials.

As much as i like Katawa Shoujo it's still one of those visual novels where you go through different routes and get a different waifu at the end. Some people seem to think that all visual novels are like that. CUPID looks neat, i'll have to try that

Spoiler

and Umineko

some time.
But yes, absolutley try one of the many free ones out there to see if you can get over the mental hurdle of playing a novel first.

Air for Steam also updated to fix this.

 

[Rickenslacker]

Alan Wake is one of those games that took me a while to get the fun of, but it turned into one of my favourite third person shooters. The game does a disservice locking out the Nightmare difficulty from the start (but you can unlock it from the start using the -developermenu launch option) because that's when I truly feel the flashlight combat mechanics start making sense. On the lower difficulties it just feels like an unnecessary buffer to when you can actually start damaging enemies.

 

[Chance Hale]

Performance of games like Prey/Deus Ex etc is heartbreaking, they were really coming back to life and people still didn't want them ;-;

 

[jediyoshi]

Subaru, Mountain Dew, and HTC are all running their own separate CSGO tournaments simultaneously right now. You'd think at least one of them would have thought to reschedule so as to not dig into the exact same preoccupied audience.

A world filled with Deus Ex and Prey games is a world we, as a species, don't deserve.

 

[Volimar]

I found Alan Wake to be boring as hell, but if you guys enjoy it, more power to you.

RIP Ban Puncher

This drink's for you.

what did he do this time

 

[Nabs]

It was clearly anime.

 

[CheesecakeRecipe]

what did he do this time

oral hygiene lessons in OT

 

[uncredited male]

Maybe they will get a new handle.

 

[Hektor]

oral hygiene lessons in OT

Is that an euphemism

 

[Volimar]

Is that an euphemism

That anime scene with the brother brushing his sister's teeth. It was odd...and he posted like 5 or 6 gifs of it. But is that what got him banned?


Edit: Eh, this post may have put him over the top...

[Large Professor]

Brushing your teeth is apparently a very erotic affair in the anime world.

 

[uncredited male]

Beat Prey last night. Toying with doing a murder all run.

Bethesda is firing out these solid SP experiences.

I mean, isn't that normal behavior for him?

 

[Spring-Loaded]

I thought this was an Arkane game.

 

[uncredited male]

I thought this was an Arkane game.

Arkane is part of Zenimax which publishes their games under Bethesda Softworks. Bethesda Game Studios is also under this.

id and MachineGames are also part of "Bethesda."

So is Eye Licking, unless that went out of style already.

OK so, main quest-wise, I seem to be in the last 20-25% of Hollow Knight. The backtracking really takes up a chunk of a playthrough in this game...

 

[Kiru]

I think there was also some lewd ice cream anime gif. Someone got banned for posting that in the past too, if I remember correctly. Might actually be him too, lol.

 

[dot]

what did he do this time

well he had to live up to his name somehow...

glad Dot's favorite game is finally getting the attention it deserved

i'm glad it's finally gone too

 

[zkylon]

actually enjoying this playthrough of dark souls 3 quite a bit now, just felled the abyss watchers

playing in human mode all the time so i can get the npcs invasions, but humans are annoying

wish there was a way to get the messages but not the invasions

 

[Uzzy]

Ban Puncher just showed up on Eurovision. Looks grim down under tbh.

 

[Endruen]

When I close Steam it doesn't show in the notification area, but it's still open because it doesn't load everytime. Any solution?

EDIT: Solved, I just had to finish the task with the task manager and open it again.

 

[Nick_C]

Alan Wake is on sale. Apparently, it's similar to other games I've played: Sunless Sea.

Wait, what?

I mean, combat consists of shining a light on an enemy and shooting them, so... I guess that may be the connection?

 

[kevin1025]

I did my part! It's the children who are wrong.

If it were, would you want to know? Really?

 

[Hero Prinny]

hah just scrolling through the thread and once i saw the img i knew it was you

 

[ArjanN]

I mean, combat consists of shining a light on an enemy and shooting them, so... I guess that may be the connection?

They both feature very clearly Lovecraftian inspired horror, but that's pretty broad and the gameplay is nothing alike.

 

[City 17]

How many games you have installed on Steam and what are some of them?

On my PC I've got around 100 installed, but on my laptop (most used system ATM) I've got 13, including Stephen's Sausage Roll (loved what I've played, on 2nd island currently).

 

[Auraela]

Anyone else buying skylar and plux on 19th ? Looks closet we will get to ratchet on pc

 

[PLASTICA-MAN]

Last chance for Valve to finally unveil Half-Life 3 this E3. If they gonna miss it this time, they will never show it.

I bought a RGB mouse pad... I have transcended to another plain of money wasting.

 

[yuraya]

Well even if they don't have any Half-Life 3 news it would still be nice of them to show up at E3. Seeing how Gabe confirmed they are working on 3 VR games.

 

[Chairmanchuck]

Finished Senran Kagura "1" with all achievements.
Finished Firewatch with all achievements a few days ago and Inside before that and before that Turing Test.

I think I will continue Abzu tomorrow and then maybe start Aragami.

 

[JaseC]

It's not happening. Left 4 Dead 2 is the only game Valve has ever announced at E3.

Please don't say this.

 

[FeedMeAStrayCat]

I want to really like Octodad. I do. I do actually enjoy it somewhat, as it's pretty amusing. But these controls. Fuck.

Doesn't help that a large portion of the puzzles/scenarios so far revolve around not smacking into objects, when you're an octopus with these wonky ass controls (that do fit the game, it's just... UGH). Or climbing shit. Or playing little games.

 

[City 17]

Last chance for Valve to finally unveil Half-Life 3 this E3. If they gonna miss it this time, they will never show it.

The whole team of writers have left during the last year or so.

They might show L4D3 or something this year (not talking about E3) but HL3 is not happening.
