I just finished my third. I love this game.
Yeah, Kotaku has been pretty fair when it comes to Steam. Unlike some outlet that call themselves 'PC Gamer' who shit on Steam all the time. The irony.
They've made one just last year.I'm not going to shit on Steam but until they start making games again that interest me I will not fall into the Steam fanboy club.

Even outside of games Valve did far more to the PC ecosystem than any of it's competitors. A game that can be finished in 10 hours is not worth as much as Proton so Linux gamers can play almost all Windows games or even Steam Link so people can stream everything to their android device or just how many controllers Steam natively supports...
Just skipped every cutscene since I saw all of it before the game was out.How did you manage three playthroughs in 20 hours?
Did you not do the second playthrough with live action cutscenes?
And hopefully they will pick that up again and make more games in the futureWhat game is that, Artifact, a game that had a 90% drop off rate within the first month?
I don't use Linux, so of course your views will drastically differ from mine. Did I suggest my opinion is to be end all of discussion? Valve made some awesome games in the past, that's what I care about most.
And? That's still a game, no? They also update their older games like CS:GO pretty constantly and TF2/L4D still have working official servers.What game is that, Artifact, a game that had a 90% drop off rate within the first month?
Don't you want them to make a single player game? Because literally every single single player game in existence has a 90% drop off rate within the first month, so that seems a weird metric to use.What game is that, Artifact, a game that had a 90% drop off rate within the first month?

You used the player drop off as your criteria, one dumb criteria considering the games you want them to make fail it.I hope so too, I just don't understand how they can go into silence when it comes to game development with all the money they get from Steam and not also make games in the meantime? I know they bought the makers of Firewatch.
Maybe you misread my original comment, games that interest me.
Are you honestlly implying Artifact is equivalent to something like God of War or Spiderman? That's hilarious given many Steam fans like yourself were also very quick to defend Valve and their decision to only release that game on Steam, in relation to how they have to constantly update the game.

There's Steam and there's Valve. We're talking about totally different entities here.I'm not going to shit on Steam but until they start making games again that interest me I will not fall into the Steam fanboy club.
iirc Flips is the KC daddyGetting back to Kingdom Come now that I've done a full refresh as the game hated my old i5 3570k and the performance issues got to be too much during some of the bigger set pieces. Is any of the dlc necessary or worth picking up to round out the experience? Might have been more than halfway through the game
Scrolling through my library reminded me that Syberia 3 came out and was a disaster ;-; Anyone know if the technical issues were worked on or was it just abandoned into the ether?

It would fail the dumb criteria you set about user drop-off. Maybe don't use that as the criteria for the games you want? It's non-sensical.You're the one that brought single player games into discussion as relation to Artifact. Half Life 3 would not fail in my eyes and again that would be a game that would interest me. Are you just trying to be obtuse for no real reason other than your determintion to defend Valve/Steam at all costs?

I for one never care for Valve games. The only game I've played from them was Dota 2, and a bit of L4D2.
Why lie? That's all you've been doing in every Valve thread I've seen you in.

And you are the one who suddenly started this shit with weird "Anyone who doesn't shit on Steam all the time = part of Steam fanboy club". Or whatever you meant, because quote you've responded had zero mentions of Valve games, yet you suddenly brought games argument and some fanboy club bullshit.You're the one that brought single player games into discussion as relation to Artifact.

Ah, that makes more sense. Still, I don't really see what's the problem here. Steam is easily the most consumer friendly and feature rich client out there. That and the fact that Valve pretty much single-handedly saved PC gaming are the reasons why are they so popular among PC gamers, not HL.Maybe you misread my original comment, games that interest me.
For what expense? Barely working store? What if there are people who prefer a storefront comfort and usability over games?That's like saying Microsoft store and Xbox are two different entities. I use Microsoft store because of the Xbox titles and that is the relevance I see with Valve and Steam because we hear so many times how everyone wants all games come to Steam. EA and Microsoft make their own games, which is why I use their stores. I would hope Valve could do the same and also create 1st party games that interest me too.

We simply have different priorities and expectations, maybe think for a second before throwing insults to people?
sure you can, but then you have to admit that the games you want would have the exact same drop-offThat's like saying Microsoft store and Xbox are two different entities.

Is that why I have currently 144 games in my Steam library because I can't help myself to shit on Valve every day? My goodness you guys sure like coming out of the woodwork to defend Steam if anyone has any negative comments thrown their way.
I can use any drop-off I want, thank you very much, to show how Artifact was not only a game that didn't interest me but also to many others.
👀
From the Ashes might be fun since you haven't finished the main game yet. So you can just go back to your village to build new stuff between story missions/other side quests. But there are always trade-offs which kinda sucks. You have to decide between a bakery and a butchery for example; why can't I have both? I didn't have a good time with it because by the time it released I had already finished the main game and had more than enough money to just build everything at once.Getting back to Kingdom Come now that I've done a full refresh as the game hated my old i5 3570k and the performance issues got to be too much during some of the bigger set pieces.

hence why it's a dumb criteria.

And who's saying that? I don't mind Steam criticisms if they're fair, but have you seen some of the recent PC Gamer articles? They published factually wrong articles and that's the problem I'm having with them.I'm only casting doubt on those who think Valve/Steam can do no wrong. Why is it totally acceptable to shit on Microsoft/Epic/EA and Bethesda but not Valve? They all host their own storefronts and they all do game development. And yes some peoples priorities are different, I care more about playing a game like Forza Horizon than Linux and wish some other good game from Valve would come out again. That's not too much to ask is it, same thing you guys are asking about better stores.
144 games, a number one can easily be achieved by adding free games and buying some bundles so really not impressive anyway, doesn't excuse you hostile and highly antagonistic posting style in every Valve-related thread since forever. And we didn't come out of the woodwork, you randomly stumbled into this thread in which you never regularly particpate in and started to do your usual thing.
You're the one using user drop-offs as a metric, not me.Counter Strike didn't and again I laugh at your comparison to single player games like Spiderman and God of War to a game like Artifact. Now mind telling me again why Artifact is only on Steam?
Did PUBG fall to below 1,000 concurrent players in the first month? Did Spiderman and God of War fall out of the top 100 games played so quickly?
It's his one note. Never gonna stop pressing it, apparently.This idea that no one in here throws any critism Valve's way is absurd. Anybody would know that If they spent more than 5 minutes in this thread.
It's the same as being labeled "no Steam no buy" in Epic threads. The dumbest argument that has no thought behind it.
The only thing I'd like is being able to stream my games to my iphone and ipad using their app instead of relying on splashtop, since I suppose the former would be better.

Yup. It's embarassing.This idea that no one in here throws any critism Valve's way is absurd. Anybody would know that If they spent more than 5 minutes in this thread.

And yes, Spiderman and God of War fell out of the top 100 concurrent games very quickly. Welcome to how literally every single player game ever made.
If you knew jackshit about Artifact, you'd know that it's only on Steam to prevent the manipulation of the game's economy.

You're accusing me of being hostile yet that's the second time now you are generalizing all my commenst at hate towards Steam. That's a pretty blatant lie if I ever seen one. Welcome to my ignore list and just to add to your bullshit conspiracy I just bought Dirt Rally 2 and bought Hitman 2 on Steam, so tell me again what Humble Bundle that was in?
Anyways, for me the main complaint I have with Valve is their customer service and when you send in a helpdesk ticket - the time of response for me at the least for two different occasions were 1 month which is absurd while EA's Origin customer service responded back to me in the same day.
You used that drop-off criteria as if it meant anything regarding you being interested. Why would you bring something that irrelevant up is beyond me. The drop off has jackshit to do with you being interested or not.I never implied everyone does this, that's ridiculous, but as you can see some are very quick to attack anyone who does.
So in other words it's not a traditional single player game? Thank's for finally admitting that. If you just read my comment about it not being a game that intrerest me we wouldn't have this back and forth but it seems like you just like to argue about semantics all day long.

lol, I'm guessing its someone who doesnt even do much of PC gaming.

I also find hilarious that you think you saying that you're not interested in a game is "criticising" lmao
Soo you come here quote a article where steam is good with controllers and the first thing you come to your mind is. "i will not fall into the steam fanboy club, because they dont do the games i want".
