have you, the idiot who doesn't do research, heard of

TAHIRA
TENTH LINE
VOIDSPIRE TACTICS
CODEX OF VICTORY
LINK
WUPPO

because those are games that are good but sold like poo poo because they are buried under garbage
At the very least Wuppo and Tenth Line made the front page, not sure about the others. It's still not clear how Valve determines what new releases show up on the front page and which don't but the front page is only a sliver of the actual new releases in a given week

it is both a monkey and a boombox
Steam is a pretty well designed program to manage my games and it's a standard which is nice but it's been both of those things for about a decade. I have nothing nice to say about Valve anymore. They're like bioware in that they haven't been doing anything interesting in like a decade but for some reason people still expect them to deliver.

It's a sort of low-key game where you play as a college drop out who returns home to a dying small town. It's mostly just social interaction with some good writing and simple puzzles.

Is that a Maine Coon or something like it?

Nope she's just your average tabby, she just gets fluffy in the wintertime. I mean it's not impossible she has some Maine Coon dna but she's a little cat.

Valve has wisely realized that the worst thing a game developer can do in the eyes of the public is to actually release a game.

Portal 2 is my favourite written video game.
I sent an email to Jay and Eric telling them how much I adored it too. It's such an engaging story, it's acted perfectly and it's the ultimate culmination of the 'valve style of video game' story telling. The music is wonderful, the mystery interesting and the jokes funny.

I love it. I place it alongside SMB3 as my favourite videogame.

Ys is a fun action adventure game that happens to have embarrassingly bad plots, characters, and art direction

like, deviantart levels of poo poo

it's weird I like the games a lot too but at the same time I'm very lukewarm about everything Ys that doesn't involve the music or the gameplay

Ys has cool, simple plots with simple characters that accomplish what they need to do and I like it for that.


I also like how ys 6 tried to tie stuff together and that, since then, falcom seemed to be trying to build up the greater lore of the series with hints here and there tying the various games together. Not in any major way, but in more of an "oh, this is a reference to _____" or "oh, ______ is from ______" kind of way. Playing through several of the games and picking up on these small connections between all of Adol's adventures is a fun experience, especially since (at least in the 4 or so games I played), it isn't spelled out for you, it's stuff you'd have to work out on your own.

I commute by bike!
half-life 3 carries more weight than duke nukem forever because half-life is a series with a story that literally anybody cares about that still doesn't really have an ending

it doesn't matter anymore cause anyone who had any idea what that ending would be either no longer cares or no longer works at valve, but it's still a bummer, moreso than not getting a new fps game in a series with a pretty mixed history that only really has one solid game to its name and is mostly a barrage of poop and sex jokes. that also means that if half-life 3 comes out, and it sucks, it'll have a way bigger impact than the giant explosive fart dnf released to

I never do anything


My fiancee might do something and she likes bringing me along with her when she goes to do stuff, but me, nah, I've got nothing to do so I'll probably just be sitting around playing games and sleeping and thinking about things I could be doing but never actually doing them.

My fiancee has a job interview coming up for a position that pays $14 an hour and I am **really** hoping she gets it because that'd be fuckin rad to have income again, then we could save up for a car, and other things!!


Then when I get on disability in however many months that's going to take for the court hearing to arrive, I can pay bills with that money and let KCB spend her money on fun stuff she wants to buy and I can put most of my stuff into savings & bills except maybe a little bit on some video games, board games, and books. Maybe going to goodwill so I can own more than 2 shirts and 1 pair of pants :D

It's always worth reiterating that I feel. Like Valve's greatest achievement ever is buying the publishing rights to a student project that they summarily ruined by producing an unnecessary sequel.
What. The student project was not Portal, it just had some of the mechanics (the connected portals and things moving between them.)

The rest of the game was made at Valve.

But you know this and you're being weirdly reductive because...?

And the sequel iterated on the first game really nicely. You're in the minority on this one bub.

Yes because before Greenlight those games would have gotten into Steam via, uh

I understand what you're saying, and you're not wrong, but that doesn't invalidate criticism of the greenlight system. I submit to you that it is possible to have designed a system that would allow indie developers a place on Steam without also allowing any ill-mannered idiot to cobble together a broken mess of Unity store assets and Google image search results and get it on Steam.

I enjoyed the Half-Life games but for whatever reason I've never really been upset at the thought of the idea of not having the sequel to finish it all up. Maybe because I got into that series relatively late? I played HL1 only the first time back when HL2 first came out and haven't really played either game since then, other than Black Mesa and the HL2 Episodes.

your best bet if you really want to play a new Half-Life badly is to hope Arkane makes a doppelganger of it, they'd be my pick to come closest to that kind of thing.

The Surge, Injustice 2. After that it's like, Tekken 7 in June and then a long stretch of nothing, though Ruiner might come out in that timeframe.

I don't think they have much of a reason to, though, since they make enough money just doing what they're doing now lol


though it's weird to me that they'll let indie devs use their name for their games, like, you'd think Gabe N wouldn't want to be associated with something like this http://store.steampowered.com/app/407420/
