I dunno why you'd want a steam music player since you can get like i dont know foobar or aimp3 and edit in global hotkeys for pretty much everything. Though I do hope they can do something like integrate music player functionality to big picture so you can use stuff with controller button combos like say, home/xbox/guide button+right dpad to skip track, home+left stick to trigger shuffle, etc. i used a weird setup for trackmania and xpadder for this and it was cool

I'm surprised by how far-reaching Pewdiepie is. I've never watched a single one of his videos, yet I see him mentioned all the time. I recently tried out that Double Action: Boogaloo mod and ran in to a group of people chatting and talking in the weirdest way. There was an air of weird nerd smugness, I can't quite explain it. Then they eventually started talking about how they were playing the game because they saw Pewdiepie playing it in one of his videos. It was an odd experience.

Kibayasu posted:Not really, why does no actual company support FLAC. Yeah, that seems a little silly. Like, my hearing isn't good enough to be able to tell the difference between FLAC and MP3s so it doesn't really affect me, but other folks seem to love the format. Steam (unlike Apple's proprietary lossless codec) has no vested interest in not being able to run them. Maybe it's a gigantic pain in the rear end to program support for FLAC?

bonds0097 posted:Perhaps this is a dumb question, but you do have the toggle switch on the back of the controller set to 'xInput' and not 'DirectInput', right? If the set to the former, you shouldn't need x360ce; there shouldn't be any games that 'specifically' check for the 360 controller, that's not even part of the API so they'd have to go out of their way to do something like this, which is unlikely. Well loving gently caress, this simple trick solved the problem. The Logitech site, the Steam pages, a massive Google search, and even a customer rep posting on Steam didn't think to offer this simple solution. Why doesn't poo poo come with an instruction manual these days? Thanks so much for bothering to post this, bonds. Yeah I'm an idiot, go ahead and mock me. Now I can actually try the drat game and see what i think of it.

Anybody can read your reviews, and your review may have been randomly placed on their store page for FC3, depending on how many people "found it helpful". No idea why they'd bother commenting on it of they disagree, though. But its the internet so who knows.

Do not ask me how many people add me and, when I ask how they found me, generally go "it was because of X review". I tend to dump a lot of them later because why would I want nearly-silent randos on my friendlist, but yeah, curiousity almost always makes me ask in the first place, and that's the reason given 99% of the time.

I can't imagine it's worth the price their asking so definitely waiting for a sale, just wondering how it is and how improved it is over DG1 I'm really enjoying it, but I also really liked DG1. They've added some new towers, such as the boost, which you build other towers on top of. There's also multiple AIs which each has a different super/laser weapon and they also have some pretty amusing conversations. I haven't done anything other than single-player, but it looks like there's multiplayer stuff, too. I'd recommend it right now, even more so when it goes on sale.

Also new in this update: game browser doesn't allow you to list games by metacritic anymore but only by Steam review scores AND you can't sort from lowest to highest. EDIT: also you can't switch to only positive or negative reviews, you can only sort by popularity in different time frames. Palpek fucked around with this message at 08:40 on Sep 25, 2014 |

Are MetaCritic scores that much of a loss? MetaCritic managed to take the already laughable state of professional game reviewing and mangle what little sense it made with a godawful conversion of everything to a 100 point scale.

"Here are my recommendations for video games you should play, random person on the internet. I too am a random person on the internet and I am credible because I have an opinion about something!" I think the complaint is pretty short sighted. Having game recommendations by the community is what Amazon and the AppStore does and it works pretty well. I'd much rather have people who've actually purchased the game give recommendations than some vague Metacritic score, which is a contextless number.

It's problem was it advertised itself as a WOW killer when it wasn't, it's a completely different type of MMO and people were justifiably disappointed by that. It's done well for itself though and currently sits at the 2nd more popular mmo at the moment. It's amazing how WOW has remanded at the top for so good drat long, especially since its still got the traditional subscription model.

GW2 is basically the "Do anything you want" online RPG. Everything gets you experience (from killing monster, crafting, exploring, doing events, jump puzzles, story missions, etc) and the end game is basically dressing up your character. Hell, try it for free now if any one in the Steam Thread has ever been interested: https://register.guildwars2.com/trial One thing through: They just completely redid how leveling and skill unlock works so it kind of caters to people that have never played a online game before but it only annoying for around 30 or so mins of game time.

gently caress MMOs, Formula Fusion was just announced for PC: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MPnkFTXsG6c It's made by people from Studio Liverpool/Psygnosis so it should be at least good. Stoked to see it on PC but at the same time it's really sad to see Sony didn't care about the franchise that helped them sell PSX back in the day. Wipeout HD/Fury was really really good but they peppered it with unskippable ads (patched them out in an update but it was too late).

Downs Duck posted:Really struggling with getting the 20 hit critical strike achievement in Batman: Origins, any tips? Didn't have this much problem with critical hits in game 1 and 2. Important question: Do you actually have critical strikes unlocked yet? The game doesn't pony them up until about half way through, after you fight a boss in what is technically an optional side mission. Because Origins has some really, really loving stupid design decisions. If you're otherwise seeing critical hits pop up before that, you're probably getting critical counters, which you get well before critical strikes for some reason. Edit: I think you're actually on my friends list and according to the cheevos right on my activity feed you must have them unlocked already, so nevermind, I got nothin'.

The problem with GW2 is how it's been staggered. It's pretty much killed the game for most people. Like the 1-max level experience is actually pretty fun. The dungeons aren't amazing, but they've gotten better. And the PvP is ( or was ) pretty well handled last I checked as well. The thing is, they've been constantly adding new content every month/two months or so, usually a new questline//area/boss/story bits/whatever. And combined this is probably double the length of the base game, and added in a ton of new areas/zones/cool stuff. Only problem is they are all timed for whatever godawful reason, so as soon as the timer is up, it's removed and replaced by something new. So for returning players, all they've "added" is a single quest hub with maybe 10 quests/a boss fight, which they'll burn through in a few hours before burning out again. You actually have to pay attention to their site, learn when things are coming, and then set aside time to go play them if you want to keep up to date with GW2. Oh, and since it's all story content, and largely tied to the story content that came before, you'll find yourself talking to people that assume you know them/are good friends with them from previous missions you never did! It's the dumbest thing in the world. I'd go back in a second to go play through what amounts to an expansionpack plus worth of content they added, especially to see where the story has gone. Instead if I go back I'll have no idea what's happened since launch since I didn't do any of the content packs since then, and only get a quick few hours worth of new content that's several months/a year plus removed storywise from the actual end of the game.

Guild Wars 2 is the best MMO if you want to play with friends of differing levels. All the zones are level-scaled, so if you are level 30 and go into a level 15 zone, it will de-level you to 15 while you are in that zone. Almost every MMO is almost impossible to play with friends if your levels are different.
