You can also group select games and assign a catagory to multiple games at once! Thank god.

When will Valve finally create an in-built game idling function? Those lazy fucks, how many years will I have to wait for this?

This and the fact that games can be assigned to more than one category at once are together literally the 2nd best thing that has ever happened to Steam next to Steam Sales.

Isn't The Phantom Pain like the Deus Ex: The Fall version to Ground Zeroes' DX:HR? Or is it the other way around?

The other way around... maybe? Ground Zeroes is like a prologue game. It's the only one that's out yet on consoles.

Neither. Ground Zeroes is an incredibly short prologue to The Phantom Pain, which is the real version of MGSV.

Wow, really excited that this is coming to PC, since I didn't think I had it in me to buy another PlayStation (again) in the name of MGS. I just hope it's good, after reading some of the opinions above.

...Although what I'm not so keen on is that they replaced Snake's voice actor with Kiefer Sutherland/Jack Bauer. I mean, I know he's supposed to basically be one of the staple "action hero actors", but ehh I dunno, it just seems really jarring to me.

It's a mix of TF2, Monday Night Combat, Mass Effect 3, and PvZ itself in gameplay.

Haven't they set it up so that SFIV shows up as USF IV while not putting in any of the improvements?

You guys should use the Steam beta client. We got the UI update a while ago. I think it's awful and used the metro for Steam skin, but the games categorising and stuff like that we got earlier too.

Let's get a little crazy. Let's have some fun.
After the talk about Dishonored a few days back I finally knocked it over. Got the high chaos ending because after the first mission I killed one guard and I. Just. Couldn't. Stop.

So I'll have to play it over as stealth guy. If only so Samuel doesn't give me poo poo at the end. I ended up tranquillising him rather than knocking him out of the boat.

And then I can load up on the DLC at the next sale AND KILL SOME MORE.

Was also kind of gobsmacked by some of the voice actors in the credits. Granny was the one that made my jaw drop.

About an hour into CONSORTIUM. The premise is goofy as hell. Uh, the game is a portal into the future and you're shoved into control of some sort of high tech operative on board a flying fortress. The first section of the game is me trying to get someone to believe that I'm stuck in this guy. Its... well. Yeah hokey as hell.

Is there a way to make the controls of Ring Runner not be red hot garbage with KB&M? It seems like there's a lot of neat ideas there but it's a huge chore to play like this.

I'm giving it a(nother) try later today with a controller because I gave up my first try after 30 minutes for the same reason as you.

Ring Runner plays a lot like a 2D version of Armored Core, which means that you ideally want to play it with a gamepad, and that you will be using absolutely every single button on it. It's pretty demanding on the player, but I can't say I had any real trouble with it.

Hey all, quick question about Divinity: Original Sin: I'm (probably) starting to approach the end of the first region and I'm thinking about getting the DLC, seeing as I'm enjoying the game a fair bit. So, if I do this will I magically get the extra items, etc? Or will you be locatable ingame? Or (heaven forbid) will I only get it by starting a new game? (I'd check the DLC storepage, but oddly it doesn't have its own; instead leeching off the main D:OS page)

Thanks

YOu want to buy the DLC? AHaha. The talking pants have literally 3 spoken lines repeated over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again, and you'll never use the dye kits.

Go right ahead.

I think you have to start a new game.

also, of course it has a store page.

The DLC is best thought of as a cute extra included in the double-pack version (the collectors edition pack during the sale was the best value for money by far), or as a couple of little Kickstarter backer perks. Absolutely non-essential at anything more than $1 otherwise, though.

Or you can just play along as though nothing is wrong. For me half the fun was from trying to avoid getting called out as a weirdo.

Also the game comes with a PDF with like 150 pages of lore about the universe if that's your sort of thing. All kinds of parallel universe and alternate timeline malarkey.

Can anyone confirm if Ultra Street Fighter II is playable online yet, been reading that it hasn't took the jump to steamworks particularly well?

Any opinions appreciated. TIA.
