Man, Shadow Warrior takes a significant step down in quality between acts one and two, what with the change from rad Japanese castles and towns to late 90s FPS warehouses, docks, and sewers, and the introduction of cliff racers and enemies that do nothing but poo poo out speed bump landmines to slow down the gameplay. Pretty bizarre design choices.

I've been using it for a very long time because I like Origin and think it's fine and unobtrusive, but I also think that Steam games that just launch Origin are pointless and dumb. All it really does is patch the .par files that Origin installs along with the game so that Origin does not need to be open for them to run. Any list of what games it works with?

RadicalR posted:Any list of what games it works with? From the blog: quote:So, if you’re like me, you hate having to wait for Origin to do its weird cloud syncing every time I want to play Battlefield, or maybe you’re tired of it not launching your game due to some weird error. So basically, any Origin game will work as long as it's not an always-online one. The site started as a simple thing where you dragged and dropped your .par file and it removed the Origin DRM from it, but over time Origin updated to block it out so the guy had to go with a different method. The main cause of upset is that it asks you for your login details (which is a red flag for a lot of people), but the program doesn't communicate them or store them anywhere, it needs to have them to be able to un-hook the .par files from your Origin account. Also, this does remove the DRM from the game so it is against their terms of service but there's not really any way for them to hit you for it so

How is the online community for Natural Selection 2? Also which Unreal Tournament has the best online community? 1, 2, 2k4 or 3? And does Tribes Ascend have a good community? NeoSeeker fucked around with this message at 23:02 on Dec 25, 2014 |

I'm probably a bit to used to playing Fire Emblem on emulators with a save always handy, but playing through 20 minutes of Valkyria Chronicles only for my tank to get one shotted by the boss is getting a bit vexing. I wonder if there's a "save in mid-combat" mod out there.

Pretty bizarre design choices. Also just spend Ki to grab every perk in the katana tree and a few in the stamina tree and just  the gently caress out of all the greater demons. I'm playing on Hard and pretty much just using the sword 95% of the time for most enemies and just wrecking those huge enemies or almost all large groups with no effort with awesome combos and getting health back. I don't think the extra health perks or healing perks are really needed.The last third of the game goes back to the awesome Japanese castle aesthetic though.

Is there some strange thing going on with the way steam tracks time played? The last few sessions I've played of Civ: BE has reset the hours played to the length of that session instead of keeping a running total. Then yesterday I launched TF2 for the first time in years to gather promotional items to sell (thanks Gabe), it marked as having 4 hours played. I opened it for like literally a minute. Weird.

I've had a TF2 hat on at what I thought was a speculative price (about 20% above the long-term average) and it's just gone off. I take it that they're doing another event which is making people lose their minds about buying hats again.

Just know that going in. Octodad and SS13 are way better, but if you're a diehard fan of the genre, go nuts, it's more of the same.

poo poo. Episode 2 of the Walking Dead Season 2 down, and I'm...impressed.  While I don't care about the characters as much, and I don't think Clementine is as good a protagonist as Lee (a hell of a lot feels contrived in terms of how she gets through fights, etc), the tension running through a lot of the scenes is absolutely fantastic. I'm under no illusions about my choices effecting the narrative (in Episode 1 I have no doubt that saving Pete instead of Nick would have just resulted in Pete dying anyway and the plot going on as if I'd saved Nick in the first place) thanks to Season 1, but still. Gonna try and pace the rest of the episodes out across the week.

I actually laughed out loud when the little girl volunteered to shut off the complicated machine that everyone else was unwilling to mess with, and NOBODY had any issue with her doing it. I'm enjoying it enough to play through the season, but The Wolf Among Us is leagues better.

Maybe they should have made Clem like 2 years older. A 13-or-14-year-old Clem would make all the difference. In other "Should I buy this eventually" news: thoughts on Divinity: Original Sin?

Speedball posted:In other "Should I buy this eventually" news: thoughts on Divinity: Original Sin? Great game, very much in the style of Ultima 7, in that hit's not too strong on the core story front, but the exploring, combat, puzzles, etc are all super flexible and can be solved a whole mess of ways - either intentionally, or Deus Ex style with copious abuse of NPC line of sight, crate stacking and sneaky use of crates of boom. It feels a lot like playing a tabletop RPG with a really forgiving DM. You can also play it co-op, but if you go solo you don't lose out on anything. In fact, you have the choice to roleplay both lead characters simultaneously in dialogue, or have whichever you're not directly controlling act according to an NPC personality template.

Alright - a little help with idlemaster if anyone can please? I'm logged into Steam. I've edited the settings.txt file to fill in my sessionID and steamLogin - I've left the other two optional ones blank. To my knowledge this was all that had to be changed. When I run the exe - it opens a little window and seems to work. It find the right number of games that have cards to drop, picks one and says it's starting it, but then also says it's sleeping for 15 minutes. If I check steam - it doesn't appear that I'm in game, and cards don't drop even after hours of not playing anything else simultaneously. Here's what I'm seeing:  Any ideas? Happy to SAM them instead, but do like the idea of turning this on and forgetting about it instead.

I want to play depth with people but I am bad at TSB (Third-Shark Biters) so I'd rather play with strangers who post on the same forum as me so I get a little leeway when I screw up.
