Well it's a good thing that AMD doesn't have a reputation for overheating or anything.

The Steam Controller is the best controller. You game playing people are missing out.

Older games like Hitman 2 and Deus Ex all play wonderfully with it. The improved Touch Menu adds a lot to the experience.


I can't wait to see this thing in a few months, after a few million updates.

Game awards (Steam/Xbox/Playstation) deals confirmed for Thursday by Keighley himself. Probably most games that are nominated? And since it's so close to other sales, likely identical prices to current/winter sale. Just guessing but maybe a chance for Undertale deal at least.

Do the upcoming trade holds apply to transactions in the marketplace as well or is it strictly for trades only? I don't really want to use the authenticator :/
 
2 hours, usually.
And yes, as you stated in the example. You need to type !ticket x

where x= number of tickets you can afford
Stopped following AW Streams several weeks ago when it got so big it became a pain to read the chat. The stream is not that entertaining either sadly despite their efforts. Good luck to you though seven.

Wish me good luck, Seven robbed all the prizes during extralife!
He is my nemesis.

thats the main reason I wanted one over a regular controller. Have you found that most older games (like Hitman or Tomb Raider) have a good custom config or do you have to set one up yourself.

Also can you do macros, like making a quicksave button for a game that needs a menu - save - accept?

Just finished Blops 3's regular campaign.

WTF was that ending all about???

I'm loathe to the idea of replaying it again in Nightmares but people do sem to say it is better that way.

If it were more entertaining it'd have over 300 viewers and I'd never win anything :p

no one here likes the stream, do they? They just want things :V

it's their own fault, you do not make a startup stream giving away hundreds a week, no shit no one will care, you could stream paint drying with a giveaway every 5 hours and you'd have 80% viewership of what you do now.

I like the stream (though I don't usually watch streams) I think that Lenard and Rxy are fun to watch because they don't do the kind of stuff that "normal" streamers do.

I'd join metagamescore but I think I would hurt the group. I'm at 9% complete rate. Also, I tried to guess the passphrase but it isn't

Not like I watch any streamers. If a new game comes out and I'm on the fence I'll watch some random streamer for an hour, but aside from that, I'd never watch twitch. So, I guess alienware is ahead of the game for me.

Most games are good to go, but some features are brand new and need to be added. A lot of the popular configs are from the early release of the controller, so they aren't necessarily as good as they could be. It'll probably be a tiny bit before most classic titles have amazing configs, but it won't take long. A couple of us in the controller thread have put up a few good ones.

No macros just yet, but older games usually have quick save/load buttons.

They used to do these on Friday, when I could actually participate. Now I have like 8 million !atp and I'm never able to enter for anything.

What did Ozium say?

The truth.

I'd rather watch paint dry than them playing awful MOBAs awfully or listen to Lenard talking about becoming a DJ.

Even if you had 1% completion rate the score is what counts. Every little helps. Oh and quote this message for the passphrase (in a email tag obvs).

Got mine a few days ago and so far it's worked surprisingly well in every single game I've tried, even in precision platformers like Dustforce and Super Meat Boy. Controlling the camera with a trackpad was a little weird at first but it didn't take long to get used to it.

The only thing that still hasn't clicked for me is aiming with the right trackpad. I only tried in MGSV, though, and for most shooters I'm likely to stick with mouse and keyboard anyway. MGSV is just a weird one where I prefer to use a controller.
 
Has anyone played Revolution Under Siege? (it is a AGEOD game) I like the era/concept of a Russian Civil War strategy game, but I'd like to know how well it plays before getting it, it's $15 right now

Try a game with good mouse support, then enable gyro with a low sensitivity. I'm almost done with Return to Castle Wolfenstein and gyro has been amazing.

Has anyone here played Grey Goo? I'm thinking of picking it up as a Christmas present for my brother, who is a big RTS fan, but I don't know much about it. I heard a few positive things prior to release, but I haven't seen any discussion of it after it came out in January, and the Steam reviews are mixed.

Is the game interesting and well balanced? Is the multiplayer community dead? Is it worth picking up for someone who likes RTSs, or should I find something else?

Metagamerscore update. We're back in 4th!!!

http://metagamerscore.com/most_score_crew
Steamgifts in 3rd might be too far ahead to catch up anytime soon but we seem to be moving at a quicker pace recently so who knows.

Why the hell don't they support Mushihimesama achievements? I could add a lot of value to the group with my almost 100%.

Obviously, Enhanced Steam server traffic doesn't necessarily correlate into sales, but I'm happy to help provide any insight I can.

Thanks for that. Looking forward to SteamSpy article about the sale, hopefully Galonkin wants do write one...

I won in the only raffle I've entered.

What I'm saying is maybe you should try harder.

Is that the RTS alarm I hear? I've played it a bit and enjoyed it, you can see my thoughts here.

Can't speak on how the multiplayer is though.
 
Talos Principle is a really fantastic game with a surprisingly good narrative. But if you arent in the mood to puzzle there is nothing you can do, the latter puzzles of the game can get pretty insane, especially if you're searching for the stars.

Certainly not a game you can play if you're in the mood for Netflix and Chill.
Strange game for me. Initially the narrative felt like a chore but it soon grew on me. I had this ebb and flow of gaining and losing interest in the story or puzzles but together they kept me going. Played 15 hours of it this weekend and have 11 sigils left and 20 stars. I am not usually a fan of games using an open world structure but requiring near 100% completion to see the ending.
Request one from Coupon Dumpster group -- I was just looking through their database and they definitely have coupons for Talos.
Thanks for the tip didn't know about this group.
I find that the reason behind that falls within the themes of the game's narrative.
A good puzzle game is one that also allows you to break its rules IMO.
Agreed however I feel like I was able to exploit hit boxes and line of sights to solve a couple puzzles in cheesy ways. Knowing how tedious some were I have to imagine they were exploits.
talos principle is really good but it's really giving me motion sickness even if i lower all the motion sickness options

speaking of

i don't think i've ever seen a game with a better settings menu

like wow
I had motion sickness with the defaults too. Most games are usually fine but I had to change a bunch of stuff and get the frame rate up to 60 to mitigate it.

They definitely appear to be Idle Thumbs listeners. They addressed a couple of things I'm sure those guys have talked about before. And then you have the weird
Jeff Goldblum
jokes. I'd say there's a handful of puzzles that probably should have been axed but I guess they found most testers were okay.
