Is there a way to know if a game got into the store via Steam Direct? Because I'd love to know if this dumpster fire is one of it's first success stories.

Looks like I spent a little over 4 hours with it. If you're planning on playing Revolution then I guess it's worth it to get to know any characters and story links that might crop up in the sequel.
As a rule of thumb, look up the game on SteamDB and see if the store/key package was "published in the database" on or after June 13th (the date Direct replaced Greenlight). In this case, app 676740 was reserved just three weeks ago.
Yea, that theme Locus, it's the theme for the mount you get from beating Burden of the Father Savage and I use it all the time haha.

There's so many good looking horror game releases this month, my wallet is crying.

I literally just watched Jim Sterling's video on this game and it's fucking dreadful.

Let's not act like Steam Direct was meant to judge quality in any way.

I mean it's in the name, just like "Direct to DVD" "Direct to Video" they skip the whole in theaters thing for a reason with some movies so quality control isn't exactly in the budget

Steam Direct like Greenlight will bring in a lot of good and bad.
But Direct itself was never the solution, Valve's workings are basically to help good games rise through discovery programs, make more bad games get flooded out, and respond quicker to devs who demonstrate shitty behavoir.
Direct will have both benefits and disadvantages, but the full picture is more important in how it comes into play once all systems are implemented rather than the classical, "How did this silly shit game get onto Steam?," sort of talk. I think the idea is as long as the game meets the bare minimum requirement, IE it launches, doesn't give you viruses, has what is advertised, decent store page to show what the game is and not lack detail, etc., then it can be released. But how it fairs depends on several factors, and cracking down on developers who are shitty people taking it out on others or games that are scams. I don't think Valve is trying to 'solve' bad games coming to the market, though may drown them out of their algorithms.

I'm guessing each mission is about 30 minutes long-ish. I just got done with the first mission earlier today. I'll play a little bit more tonight.
lol that's maybe it
yeah i guess ur right
definitely not since i haven't played goken but i really appreciate the suggestion cos it hasn't escaped my mind and i can't fucking remember ;_;
Yeah, I'm not really down with the velocichicken or fuzzasaurus rex.
And while we're at it, they need to bring Pluto back as a planet, dammit.

Well, the problem was if they continued to classify Pluto as a planet, the solar system would end up with dozens of planets, and possibly thousands. They kept finding more and more Kuiper belt objects with similar properties to Pluto. They had to let them all in, or none of them.

On a related note, any news when Deus Ex GO hits Steam?

I wonder how the people behind Dark and Light came up with 17% for an early access discount.

I imagine they just wanted to take $5 off and 17% is the closest to 16.666......%

Oh, I see. I didn't catch that because it's in Canadian dollars for me. $33, discounted to $27.38.

Didn't realize that two fantasy open world survival games launched almost at the same time.
Yeah, I posted them last week.
From the impressions, it seems that Citadel is more polished but more janky and has less content/things to do. While Dark and Light is more fleshed-out, but still buggy and unoptimized. In the long run, I'm more leaning towards DaL.
I remember being interested in the Kickstarter for this years ago, glad to see it's coming

Hot Take:
The Old Blood's music is better than Doom's

It's only on GOG and Steam as far as I can tell so probably not.

Whoa, had no idea The Coma was getting a new version. Looks like I get it for free by owning the original, wonder what's new.
Also, I backed Fear Effect cause I want more from the series but damn that demo was not fun.

The Partisan cover is godlike.
But I'll go even further, the latest Wolfenstein games are better than Doom.

Finished Prey 2017 and holy shit, that ending
Game remembers everything i did, even
. Also, game got me few time when i thought "well, this is the end" and then suddenly shit hits the fan. Yeah, game is not perfect, several times in story-heavy moments characters started to talk at the same time and it was impossible to understand what are they saying, and also backtracking in last hours of the game was kinda pointless. But it still was very close to perfect game for me, it's like System Shock 2 but with more social element and huge open locations. And to be fair, SS2 last hours went downhill too after moving to Rickenbacker, but it still one of my all-time favorite games. Prey 2017 is even better than SS2, so i guess it's my GOTY so far.

First 110 minutes of Trails of Cold Steel PC, 1080p/60 FPS with a lot of features/options maxed
Biggest advantages you can see are no pop-in, stupidly fast loading for battles (and within them), and much improved FPS/IQ. I can't wait to enjoy Heimdallr in this glory.

Tits (o)(o) are never over .... but if you mean Liberl Arc it is.
Crosbell Arc (Ao + Zero)still needs english translation.
Erebonia Arc (Cold Steel) i bet will go full steam ahead now with 1st releasing and 2nd planned for 2017 ... wouldnt be surprised if 3rd one happens Day 1 of western release
my friend that has never bought a videogame in his life and only plays pro evo and just spent 3 months in vietnam came back with a copy of saints row 3 and saints row 4
i'm not sure how to interpret that
why those
would be nice if they did like a 2+3 package thing

I don't understand the rush on the side of micro transaction for Battlegrounds. The game is selling like hotcakes, why this huge push towards the crate with 3-4 new crates available each update?
I mean, I understand that the reason is money...but damn, the revenue on the copies sold is already huge. They are taking so much risk because of the backlash that is beyond me
