Well I'm in two minds. I've played it to a reasonable level on PS3 and seen about 33-50% of the content so wouldn't be tempted to double dip unless the price was to my liking (£20ish) but then again it looked fucking hideous to what I'm used to so being able to throw some horsepower at it and get a feel to how TPP could perform later on might just make me buy it again regardless. That and Here's To You was awesome to pop on the Walkman whilst sneaking around doing the side content.

I enjoyed LoS 2 more once I got into the combat challenges on the harder mode, but playing through the actual game is a boring slog.
I still think that people should give the first one a try, even if it has uneven pacing and bundles kind of a hodge podge of ideas.
What a week.
Peace all

Should they not follow the "FIFA policy" (which they religiously apply to PES), I expect them to price the games as aggressively as Revengeance, which means sales + Nuuvem = a rather massive horde of purchases. If Kojima is indeed at the PC version's helm things might turn out mighty good, considering also how he purposefully developed Fox Engine for PC first and foremost.
Freedom = $1.05

It's a testament to that game that just watching someone play it leaves me occasionally checking my pants. I think it's legit scary and that most people aren't playing up the reactions.
Now, this is an L shaped hallway that must've been really interesting to design for. Surely the real game will be a completely different beast.

I really hope they price it right. I think MGR was $30 at the PC launch, but I don't know how late PC version was after the Console version.
$20 would be really nice given it's basically a 'prologue'

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
Anyone tried this site?

Apparently this guys is trying to increase the relevancy of the Steam recommendations page. You can read about how it works here.Looks like it might be a pretty good replacement for Steam Roulette or others that are just totally random.

I don't know about that. Steam Roulette "recommends" games from your library. The tool you linked recommends games you don't own for you to buy.

Interesting stuff. Gave some good recommendations for the few games I popped in (and yes i did enter Bad Rats and it returned a list of puzzlers and platformers that were arguable a lot better). One thing I did notice during the methodology page was about the low number of API calls per day. Sure 100,000 is quite a lot for a small application but with something with the install base of Enhanced Steam you'd have to be real smart about that. Off the top of my head I think Ebay's is in the millions and separated per function calls.

Is Sacred Citadel any good?

It wants me to buy so much stuff that I don't want.
You can only do so much I guess with that sort of engine.
MGR was $30 base price, but they aggressively cut it down to $20 for a pre-order.
I can easily see them doing the same for GZ with the release time frames being roughly the same.

Yeah, and on top of the daily limit there is also now a "10 requests every 10 seconds" cap on user-initiated API requests. Makes things somewhat painful at times.
True, same here. But it's an interesting premise that gives just a tiny glimpse into what would actually be capable if Valve really put effort into this sort of thing.

I'm looking forward to finding out what the game is, but I'll probably be disappointed.
I'd buy a port of the Vita version since I already own the Wii version.
Happy birthday!
Ah good point, didn't realize that. Oh well, seems like a pretty cool project though.
This is the right use for SteamRoulette

I personally would love to have a more visual way of recommending games.
You could have some sort of graph with the reference game in the middle and vertices that lead to other nodes. Those vertices could be weighted according to community votes (+ or -).
You could also display data using multiple criteria. For example if you wanted to use both metacritic score and the average story mode duration (assuming you can get such information) you could plot each of these on an axis (X and Y). You could even add a third criteria by representing the game (a circle) in different sizes... like the price, for example.
I thought about throwing something together but I don't really have the time nor the skills (I'm really rusty).
So yeah... Valve could do a lot of cool things... but we should be thankful we got a brand spanking new blue icon.
I wouldn't be surprised if GZ launched this year and TPP next year alongside the console versions.
It's alright, IMO. I like to play it in short bursts, and plan on completing the story mode eventually. Pretty standard brawler with simple loot and leveling. Enemies can take a long time to kill if your gear isn't optimal. Online is dead.

Could be possible, depending on how far they are on the development/porting cycle of GZ. I do hope it's something easy. Cant wait to double dip.

Did I miss something? Even Steam does a better job with recommendations. This site just recommended me a bunch of old but popular games that's been on sales a million times already. There's a reason I don't own them.
It should take sales, release dates, number of games I have (to determine how aware I am) etc in consideration before something like that could prove itself useful. And I still think that high profile games everybody already know about should not show up at all. Same with wishlist items. Tags could potentially work great with finding red threads within your library though.
I'd say chances are you might not have heard about it before.

I know the feeling, it's awesome especially if it's a title you loved/used to own or have always wanted to play.

No, but my point is that you shouldn't need more than 200 XP to go from level 15 to 16.
Steam fixed free games that gave XP. But they didn't update levels, so if you gained one, you got to keep it.
Is it? I don't like the new icon. It's ugly
Ah sorry, forgot to clarify...i meant from the steam app. I checked the iphone app and i could view the inventory but wasn't sure if you could gift someone from there.
I guess i could just do it from the browser then.
Oh, that explains it. Thanks.
