Saboteur has pretty solid writing for an action game and its last area is real neat. And aside from one dangling plot thread its pretty conclusive too, so its not totally terrible that EA screwed Pandemic. Still bad though.

I can't find the question in the thread but someone was asking about how to undo 'not interested' vote in queue? Go to the game-in-questions page and you'll see the 'not interested' with a checkmark next to it, click the not interested button and the checkmark goes away.

Lance Streetman posted:Found a copy of The Saboteur at a used bookstore today and decided to give it a spin. Holy poo poo, people weren't kidding about how good this game is. I just started but I'm already loving everything about it. The PC port isn't great, but it's worth dealing with it just to experience this game. The Saboteur is an amazing game, and I spent more time just free running and climbing around WW2 Paris then I did in all the AC games combined. I bought the game off a friend who played nothing else but that game for a few months before he finally got tired of beating up Nazis and belly flopping from the top of the Eiffel Tower.

tithin posted:Hey, for those who say that Resident Evil 6 is trash, you're objectively wrong It had a bunch of problems at release that got patched later, I think. Still, it initially left a bad impression. Also, the way the game's best played isn't explained at all (you can only get the official manual by looking it up online, and it's a bit crap), so lots of people tried to play it how you would RE4 or 5, which is just unfun in RE6.

I played it at release and while I did have an issue with graphics (game would crash due to not releasing ram from the graphics card) this was super easily resolved (was a .ini fix) and I never had any issues with it after that.

No, I meant when the console versions came out. I don't know what these problems were, but I've heard several others mention that there were loads at release. I think they were sorted by the time the PC version came out. Still, it took long enough that people got a bad impression, apparently.

I picked up Long Live the Queen in the Humble Weekly Sale. It's pretty dang cool, $6 was a fine price for it. My character's kind of an idiot, though. Here's her response to someone wanting to build a hospital: My Saturday night: screaming "WHY AREN'T YOU MORE DEPRESSED" at an anime girl e: Trained up all of my military skills and won a civil war (gently caress yeah) then died to a box of poisoned chocolates

Does anyone know how to find a complete list of the early access games on the store? The early access page says that there are 265 of them on Steam but I can't find any way to view them all in the new layout

I'm having some trouble in Steam Troubleshooting: Sniper Elite 3 edition. I can't get past this puzzle and all the answers online are so wildly different.  I've tried disabling anti-virus/firewalls as Admin, deleted specific files which are different for every guide, verified the files, etc. I can't delete it and redownload it because I don't have the data quote left to do it.

I was kinda hoping with the Steam media player that it would allow me to play music from a lot more games than just Payday and a few others (can't even play the new rad Dota 2 music). I imagine that more stuff will be added later.

One of the deals up for the next few days is Command: Modern Air/Naval Operations, and boy is it something. It's a naval war simulator in the vein of Jane's Fleet Command and Naval War: Arctic Circle. It's a fairly complete simulator, and comes pre-loaded with just about every single naval altercation that's occurred between 1950 and today, as well as several fictional scenarios from throughout the Cold War and the near future. It's complicated, but if it's your cup of tea it'll blow you away. It's much more rewarding than Naval War: Arctic Circle and doesn't have the showstopping memory leak. Downsides: You really have to wade into it. You have to start by managing encounters between patrol boats and small ships and subs before graduating to larger, more complex scenarios. You can't dive in and attempt the grand US v. Soviets/Chinese scenarios, you'll be completely overwhelmed. It's also completely abstract - there's no model viewer. Also I haven't figured out how to enable the release of nuclear weapons yet, although in many scenarios your ships will be armed with low-yield nuclear weapons (true to life, believe it or not  )

RBX posted:They added fov options and other quality of life stuff. Nothing major. One of the QTEs was really bugged and almost impossible to complete on console too, which pissed everyone off until they got patched to make them easier. Then it got patched again so you can toggle the ability to auto complete QTEs in the options menu. All of that was in the PC version at launch though. I can't hate RE 6 though, because of the ridiculousness of Jake's last boss fight where he suplexes Ustanak.
