Oh lord, god and Buddha indeed. Titanfal, Dark Souls II, The_Monk's birthday, Grief's birthday. We need to throw a party.

Don't forget my barfday is in march as well. The 31st to be precise.

 

[Storm360]

Can anybody confirm what the controller support in Deus Ex Directors Cut is like? It's not out here, but the storepage says both Partial and Full controller support, would it be a game where I can dump my laptop on another seat while traveling and sit with a 360 pad and comfortably play?

 

[derFeef]

Don't forget my barfday is in march as well. The 31st to be precise.

May I join the march party? 20th

 

[Romir]

On another matter, how do you guys organize you steam library ? I was going naked for years and then begun using categories like 'favorites', 'abandoned', 'playing', 'finished' and 'to play soon' coupled with steam mini mode. Wonder if I won't make a 'classics' one to gather some series I plan to replay in the near (?) future (like Deus Ex, Max Payne etc...)

In general I aim to keep stuff I might play near the top in one of the first four categories.

 

[neoism]

Need to be in the US



Titanfall then Dark Souls 2 a week or so later

Oh lord

its going to be on Origin though right?

 

[NIN90]

May I join the march party? 20th

The 13th over here!

 

[FloatOn]

The party wouldn't be the same without you. Everyone should drink moonshine and get weird in this thread.

I've never had moonshine

 

[Storm360]

So... anyone in the April party?

Spoiler

i feel left out

 

[toddhunter]

Titanfall? Yeah you can already preorder.

 

[derFeef]

The 13th over here!

Now I get those fish heads...

 

[The_Monk]

Don't forget my barfday is in march as well. The 31st to be precise.

Then you can keep that order and add yours after Grief's good sir so it will match the order of dates. Party options still being discussed.

May I join the march party? 20th

You get your place after mine and before Grief's.

The 13th over here!

You get your place after Titanfal but before Dark Souls II

Also, for those that played Path of Exile, since it will be on Steam tomorrow, is it a pay to win situation or is it something that two friends can have some casual fun in Co-op?

 

[neoism]

Titanfall? Yeah you can already preorder.

It's definitely not pay-to-win and the devs are actually really against that mentality. Could easily be a casual co-op experience - every "dungeon" level is a separate instance that only you and others in your party have access to. One of the best action RPGs since Diablo II, I would say!

The items you purchase directly from Grinding Gear Games are almost all cosmetic in nature. You can also buy extra stash tabs, but I found on my two playthroughs that the default they give you (six) is plenty.

 

[NaM]

Yeaaah! Thanks a lot for Broken Sword! Now I can play both Broken Sword games

 

[kennah]

Thanks for Ticket to Ride. It was the only thing I wanted from the whole bundle.

I played the beta and it seemed like it was pretty fair in its economy. In other words the store is not constantly in your face. That said, it did seem like leveling up your gems was a bit of a long grind so more impatient people may want to pay to win

 

[derFeef]

Hah!
I remember giving away lot's of Alan Wake copies on the 20th this year, wonder what it's going to be next year.

I'm assuming you are saying not pay-to-win right?

Thanks for the impressions, both of you, I played the start of Diablo III since a friend gave me his code form the physical box who let someone else trying the game. Going to check this one later on, for sure.

PS: In case you remember, drop me a PM when you start doing your Streaming Marathon for Charity, I would love to watch and even give a little contribution since right now I simply can't afford to do such kindness.

The game is a bit "grindy" feeling, but there aren't any "pay to win" options it's just made to reward people for grinding.

I'm assuming you are saying not pay-to-win right?

Yeah sorry that's a pretty terrible typo, huh?

[Copons]

Lol I've entered bazillions of Organ Trail giveaways and just now I noticed that they're all nowinnersdaily. Fuck me for entering that damned eXceed giveaway this morning! :'(


Speaking of which, I'm trying to play it (the first one, Gun Bullet Children), and I'm getting severe lag and general slowness, like from 60fps to 30fps, averaging to 40fps.
On Steam there is a workaround involving Microsoft Compatibility Toolkit, but I was wondering if there is a simpler solution. Anyone knows something about it?

 

[rtcn63]

Loot in PoE isn't instanced though (think Borderlands 2), so you'll have to come to an agreement with regards to the better item drops.

 

[Razorskin]

Titanfall then Dark Souls 2 a week or so later

Oh lord

But Titanfall has ironsights, why do you care?

Nice thread though its my first one of these ... (shames)

 

[Grief.exe]

But Titanfall has ironsights, why do you care?

It does dampen my expectations for the game, but it still looks to be enjoyable.

And the mechs don't have iron sights. "Our entire game is built around a super fast movement system, our mechs can't use iron sights due to how fast they can move around the map." Go figure how that design decision was made.

Nice giveaway. A very fun and under-appreciated game.

The MS compatibility toolkit takes less than 5 minutes to do and you only need to set it up once, it's no big deal. It's the only way I know of to fix the framerate. Or you could play windowed I guess.

I would if I could, but it seems this game cannot run windowed.

Oh well, guess I'm gonna try the toolkit.

So... anyone in the April party?

April bros all the way!

I can't say Taurus Bros because April Taurus is only from 20-30, but my 30th fits right in there!

 

[jaundicejuice]

Is Sir, You Are Being Hunted a must buy?

It's an interesting idea for a game with a lot of potential but it's not finished yet. They're still working on adding content (indoor environments and more biomes) and refining existing mechanics (the combat and stealth mechanics are kind of rough, or were as of my last play session).

 

[Turfster]

Better luck this time, Copons.

To everyone playing Organ Trail for the first time, remember:

In general I aim to keep stuff I might play near the top in one of the first four categories.

Is there anyway to add multiple games to a category at once? I like the idea of organizing the library, but really can't be arsed doing it one at a time for all my games.

I was busy fixing eXceed, that's now my archenemy or something like that.

Maybe with Steam Library Sorter? I haven't tried it. If Steam loses my categories AGAIN, I would though.
