Ahhh I love the smell of a new thread in the morning
None. GFWL's sunset date is still ~7 months away so I wouldn't expect the less proactive publishers to formally announce plans until the day is closer.
not exactly survival horror but you mentioned you like TPS and XCOM.
grab The Bureau when it hits $15-20. The story is kind of lame but the combat is
oh also! how the fuck did I not remember to pimp out Alan Wake on pc? It's the definitive version.
A wise man with good taste indeed. But I have yet to try and play Alpha Protocol on PC.

Capcom's supposed plans haven't been verified by anyone here (I tried e-mailing myself but was ignored), so take that particular source with some salt.

Get Fallout New Vegas, mod it to hell and back. You won't need another game for 80+ hours, it will look and perform wonderfully, and it will be the most rewarding RPG you've played in terms of quests and world building lore.
Darwinia/Multiwinia
Skulls of the Shogun
Path of Exile (free Diablo 3 that should have been)
Amnesia: The Dark Descent
Civilization V Gold Edition
Alpha Protocol because it's fucking GREAT.
Don't get Hotline Miami, do get FTL. Hotline Miami evokes and emulates infantile disposable trash, FTL evokes and emulates beautiful dangerous COSMOS.

For strategy check out Total War series. Not sure if Rome 2 issues have been fixed yet but Shogun 2 or the older ones hold very well and are awesome, must for every pc gamer.
For indies grab Super Hexagon, it should be on sale for a dollar next week. Simple yet challenging game, good bang for your buck.

I'm middle ground for Alpha Protocol.
It had good ideas going for it but I found the execution to be highly lacking.
TO be fair I did play the PS3 version so im not sure if the PC version is better patch wise.
I'm leaning towards Juri. I already have an avatar that I'm using on another forum. Carey Mulligan is the one true waifu, though.
I use Splashtop on my home network, and it's great. I played Rayman Origins the other night. Ran fine. I haven't used it away from home, though. That feature costs $16.99 for a year.
Not that you'll see her much mind as I'm a compulsive lurker.
My £5.75 wallet funds eagerly await DAO:U @ 70% off, had the funds for 75% like the previous sales but the bastards cut it down by 5 and and I was pennies short. Months later I'm now ready, I hope.

Was worried when I woke up this morning and didn't see this on the front page. Needed a safe haven from all that scary next gen stuff brewing around outside.

What's the point of a debate? We know you are wrong. You are proof of factually wrong opinions.
Unless I'm misremembering, I think the ITSP was confirmed to be moving to Steamworks in a tweet from the dev. But I have no idea how to search such things on twitter, so maybe I dreamt it.
My good people, be honest, for someone who never heavily modded a game, how hard can it be?
I'm saving a game and all it's DLC in my Library for maybe the cold Winter (to play all warm and comfy) and I'm wondering how difficult can it be considering I'm really bad at tweaking little things and I just want to improve the game without adding more things.
I mean, if it helps the game to look better, having less bugs, less crashes, faster loading and more details to the environment then I'm all up for it, but I wanted to keep story and the integrity of the game "natural" if you understand. My fears are justified because the lack of my own knowledge and I really fear losing saves or having constant game freezes/crashes.

It's really janky. Buggy as hell on PC as well. Character and difficulty progression is gimped unless you specialize in stealth+pistols (and if you do, some of the boss fights are way, way hard).
Still, made me swear much less than Witcher 2 did, FWIW.

Most games are fine, it really just depends on that game itself. Google it and see what ype of mods are about, but if it has Workshop support, even better.
What's the game?

you are the Call of Duty apologist right?
if that's true then you should reexamine your definition of wrong opinion.

Coming in here seems weird since PS4 has consumed my free time the last 6 days.
Silly me forgot to add in the end.
It's Fallout New Vegas with all the DLC included!

I don't apologize for guilty pleasures. I struggle to take blindly shitting on a series one has never played seriously.
Oh, that won't be difficult. There's a thread about it. I would link it, but I'm on mobile.

I know this is not steam related, but since this is the best PC thread on this corner of the Internet, let me rejoice about the games i've purchased recently on an antiques fair:
Marathon 2
Witchaven
Rise of the Triad
Nostalgia to the max, I never imagined I would find those games over here in Portugal, on a street fair nonetheless. 1 for each too!

It depends on the game, what you're trying to do, and whether the mod is done by someone else. If you're just tweaking variables in the .ini config files, then it's not too hard, as long as the .ini files aren't baked into the .exe, which makes it harder to get mods working. If you're installing mods made by someone else, it's pretty easy to install those.
Most mods don't mess up save files unless you accidentally delete something important in the process.
You'll be fine, it's natively moddable so you can just tick and untick things you want to load. This is a good starting point: http://www.pcgamer.com/2010/11/02/25-best-fallout-new-vegas-mods/
Just remember that it's buggy even in a vanilla state, so you'll see things like this, mods or not:
Interesting...! Amazing price too, I'm amazed.

Went looking for answers over at the Steam community hub to see if anyone knows whassup and was greeted with this:
Also, no-one knows "whassup"
Nice. One of my favourites...Racing with a Tank is too cool!
Is this about what I said about asscreed or dead rising? what constitutes playing seriously?
if playing seriously means playing every game in a series or playing a game to completion, then I suppose I don't because I don't really have time for that. Does that invalidate my view? I wouldn't think so.

I had this thread bookmarked for later use for myself, should be helpful.

While it's a Steam thread and it might be a surprise these days, there are people here that still like physical copies.

I'd love to finish The Witcher 2, but it's one of those games that I enjoy while I'm playing, but forget while I'm not. Unlike, say, the Souls games that had me turning corners with my arms up in real life.
I'm waiting on another Alpha Protocol sale. I'm digging spy things, lately.
