Anyone have experience with this game? I was really impressed after watching some of the videos. Looks like a good time but I'm still on the fence for the price though I suppose it did just come out so..
It's amazing and has a nice sizable demo so you can try it yourself.

Site down at the moment, but thanks, will check it later.
Nice, I knew I was remembering that right. I forgot the source came about due to a Valve slip up :3

Pity the cards don't have a similar art style, they'd be worth enough to justify buying the game.
It's too bad they decided to hide a good looking game behind that ugly ass banner.

Fuck, don't say that. I had to stop playing last night because I got to the end of Chapter 2 and felt shitty.

2 questions on rocket league
Is the community strong on steam?
And does it play well with mouse and keyboard?

Speaking of cards, I'm finding the lack of Steam Cards in the Wolfenstein disappointing.
Absolutely for community. Even with all the different modes they've added over the year, matches fill up quickly in my experience and you can always send out a call to people on their own forums, here in SteamGAF, or one of the various Twitch channels that plays it.
It's serviceable with mouse and keyboard, but you'll want a controller still.

The community is really bad. Lots of people who'll insult you and tell you to kill yourself. It plays okay when you just use your keyboard and bind jump and boost to J K

Fast to join matches, though. I just muted voice and text chat immediately.
Lol be ready to keep feel shitty for more chapters. Also wasnt Chapter 1 fucked up too even if expected?

It has very large community on Steam and it has an even larger community if you decide to enable cross-platform play between Steam, PSN, and XBL.
I haven't played Rocket League, but based on my time with its spiritual predecessor on the PS3, I'm gonna say not very well.

It totally was. This is totally in the running for my top games of the year given what I've played so far.
The ports have their issues, but at least you can downsample stuff to make them look really pretty (XIII and XIII-2 at least, LR is fun but difficult to make it look all that pretty imo).
They're worth 10$ each and even more as far as I'm concerned, but you'll also get people telling you they're not worth getting paid to play them, so ask yourself, is fun gameplay, cool characters, nice graphics more important to you than a deep story? If the answer is yes, go ahead, they're worth your money and time.
Like other games in the genre, while multiplayer makes things more fun/interesting, playing solo is still a good experience.

Thanks for your feedback on the FFXIII games.
You know, I kind of wish God Eater would be a little more difficult. I'm at the end of Difficulty 7 in Rage Burst and most of the time it's still really easy. Tho that also might be because of how easy it is to 'break' the game. The 'Burst Health Regen' control unit makes getting hit completely trivial and it's barely necessary to use helaing items unless you completely fuck up. I always think I should try it without it again, but then I always think 'but why should I make it deliberately harder on me'.
And I'm not even using any particulary special bullets, just the default sniper bullets modified with a point-blank shot on impact for more bang-for-my-buck.
It's kind of a shame, because Resurrection had some fucking amazing missions at the very end and showed that the game can very well be difficult and challenging when it wants to (even when you have health regen and other stuff), and be fucking awesome that way. (Though some of those missions were a huge pain in the ass.)
Overall I'm still having a very good time with it though.

On another note, I've tried Tales of Symphonia some days ago and that one didn't really click. Haven't made it past the very beginning, but I'm not sure if I really want to continue.

Either enable vsync or run it in borderless window mode.

How are you guys making money from Steam Cards? When I check to sell mine, they got for around 30 cents or less.

It's like those "I made 200000 working from home scam/spam posts" you have to know the secret*
*The secret is: large library, plus idle-master and lots of time, and selling the cards for cents at a time = eventual game purchases = more games to idle = a never ending stream of card cash
I just loved the journey of it. You never knew where you were heading.

I'm really on the fence about Project CARS. Anyone that played it can talk about it?

Mystery Game --
key might not work
For me it's that moment when the lights go out and then you
meet your first Skaarj
I only played that game once when it was new but I remember it like I played it last week.
Stardew Valley and Undertale are easy recommends for me
Oh yeah, that part got my blood pumping!
It's Telltale as you would expect, and the mystery aura of "choices matter" don't really work as well here, but it's a solid story and experience. As someone who likes Batman, I appreciated that they went their own route with quite a few characters and origin events, and even a brand new villain that feels like it fits well as opposed to another "Sin Tzu" situation.
I say it's worth playing if you like Batman.

I know this isn't related to Steam, but I dunno where else to ask this. Gamestop has The Last Remnant going for $2.49. Anyone know what digital service they use?
Gamestop has it's own download client for some games (mostly pre-2014), but games like The Last Remnant there will be a Steam key.
For system requirements on the game page, just look for where it says "Connectivity", it'll list which service.
I'll probably pick up a few things before the sale is over, but I finished Quantum Break (sadly, one of my pet peeves are convoluted time travel stories, ugh) today and I think it's time to put a close on 2016 in gaming. Time to prep for 2017. I played a couple of hours of NieR today.
