Tony Phillips posted:Thanks. Yeah - I'm logged in through the client. Minimized, but logged in. Will give it another go. I had an issue where my antivirus was deleting steam-idle.exe, which is the program that makes it look like you are in-game. So make sure that is is present and running.

Cialis Railman posted:Thanks! As far as what I like, that's why I'm asking. I like pretty much everything, so I'm looking for stuff that other people have enjoyed. Alan Wake is a cool third person shooter with an interesting gimmick, but play it on the easiest difficulty (they bumped each difficulty up one notch on the PC version compared to consoles). It's got a neat story that's simultaneously cheesy as hell but also genuinely sad. American Nightmare has more refined mechanics and focuses more on its own gameplay. That being said, it and its sequel go on sale ALL the time and were even subjects of a name-your-own-price bundle at one point, so look places other than just Steam for it.

Turtlicious posted:Can someone make an argument for Nazi Sniper Zombies 2? If you have friends that will play it with you, go for it, especially if you'll have a full squad (4 people). If you're planning on playing it solo, I would say to skip it. I think there's a good chance it will go on a further discount so I'd recommend waiting to see if and when that happens.

Chef De Cuisinart posted:Metal Gear Solid v Ground Zeroes refuses to work with my 360 wireless controller, and with no response from devs in a few days, what are my chances of getting a refund? I beat it with a 360 Wireless Controller. Did you check the controller options and have the controller running and plugged in when you started the game? GZ is not going to detect it automatically and you have to tell it to use it, and even then the start menu is still not going to have button prompt.

Turtlicious posted:What has been your favorite game put on sale so far? Dark Souls, though I didn't buy it during the sale. For games I've played since the sale started, Talos Principle has been amazing. Now about 3 hours in and it continues to be a fantastic puzzle game with a really interesting world. Also it's beautiful and runs very smoothly. I've really only kicked at other games from the sale so far. Aritana and the Harpy's feather was my favorite pre-sale auction purchase and I'd recommend it to anyone who enjoys platformers.

oh my god you guys Ziggurat is amazing. If you are over 30 and played the poo poo out of Heretic/Hexen/Blood, you need to play Ziggurat. I would pay $20 tomorrow for Ziggurat 2 and the only change is that they add online MP. I want to shoot banshees and flaming skulls with my magic wand with you guys.

I remember being younger and bugging my cousin to play "Rot" every time I was over at his house. He was a few years older than me and one day he got really butthurt about it and yelled 'It's NOT ROT! it's RISE OF THE TRIAD! GODDDDDDDDDD" he had blood and hexen too and thats my contribution

Hexen (or was it Heretic) was like the first non-Id FPS based on the Doom engine, made by Raven Software. Not sure what happened to those guys, seeing as there's a lot of water under the bridge.

finally, the dream of downloading more RAM has been made a reality (but seriously, what the gently caress, Valve?) e: actually, looking at this a bit more closely, I guess it lets you load full games into RAM with the idea that they'd load faster. why would you not just get an SSD

The Deadly Hume posted:Hexen (or was it Heretic) was like the first non-Id FPS based on the Doom engine, made by Raven Software. Not sure what happened to those guys, seeing as there's a lot of water under the bridge. From the wiki: Raven Software (or Raven Entertainment Software, Inc.) is an American video game developing company based in Wisconsin and founded in 1990. In 1997, Raven made an exclusive publishing deal with Activision and was subsequently acquired by them. After the acquisition, much of the studio's original developers, largely responsible for creating the Heretic and Hexen: Beyond Heretic games, left to form Human Head Studios. Human Head made Prey and the cancelled Prey 2, using Source and Portal tech.

Last I checked Activision had Raven chained up and relegated to making CoD map packs. Rest in peace. E:f,b.

They had a few prolific sales failures in a short stretch of time (Wolfenstein 2009 and Singularity) that nearly killed them off, they're still around but they pretty much only do Call of Duty map packs nowadays.

In the first loving level you jump onto a helicopter, impale the pilot, then hold him up in the blades. Later on you jump into a turbine to break it, knowing your adamantium skeleton will protect you. It also has the best fight in a supermarket since Stone Cold fought Booker T in a HEB.

Been a few months since I played, but I never had problems finding a server or two that was full or close to it. Pretty drat fun, and I've read that they've since put in gas attacks. I should really try it again. (This is all my way of saying to try it at this sale price.)

I think software RAMdisks are just coming back into vogue because RAM has dropped so significantly in price that you can stack it well out of proportion to how much programs/games will actually use. The downside of a software-based RAMdisk is that if you lose power everything on that "disk" is going to die, which is why you'd still want to be running your OS from an SSD. e: I'd be very surprised if there isn't an open source free program that would do everything that one says it does.

And if you don't keep your computer running 24/7 with perfect uptime, it's mostly pointless since you'll have to reload the games onto the ramdisk every time your computer restarts. The time spent doing that cancels out load time benefits, doesn't it?
