    Turn-Based Pinball. Turn-Based Rhythm Game. Turn-Based Real Time Strategy. Make it happen, people.

    Sounds like the start of Mojam 2: Electric Macarena.

    Speaking of L4D2, I started playing it again this week for some reason for the first time in probably...a year? Two? I don't think any of the L4D1 campaigns were ported when I last played, put it that way. Would any of you classy gents be interested in being abandoned on the presumption decease with me sometime soon? Note that my personal tastes (perhaps an oddity) run entirely towards co-op campaign play and I couldn't be less interested in versus...

    I'd be up for some of that.

    Count me in as well. I've not played in a good long time and wouldn't mind some Reloadin!

    It's good, but such a crappy PC port.

    Disagree. It looks fantastic and runs perfectly smooth. GFWL/console UI aside, it's a perfectly fine port.
    The UI is precisely why it's a crappy port. Just because the game doesn't look like shit or run like shit doesn't mean it's a good port.

    That is not enough to make a port crappy to me. A lazy port, maybe, but not a bad one. A port that runs like shit or is poorly optimized are what I consider bad ports. Bulletstorm is perfectly playable with the UI it has and shouldn't be a deterrent to people buying it, especially when it's $5 like it was a couple days ago.

    Personally I had 0 issues with the UI. What were some of your problems with it? Dead Island to me was a crappy port. Skyrim to me is a good port with a shitty UI. So there you have a few of my opinions on stuff, just curious as to why others think it's bad.

    Am I the only one thinking this Grimrock game would be better if it was turn based?

    I do but I think "This should be turn based" about almost everything.

    I'd like to see more turn based games show up in genres that are traditionally realtime.

    There are already a lot more turn-based dungeon crawlers than real-time, though, especially if consoles, handhelds and phones are included. Real-time dungeon crawlers have been pretty moribund since DOS went out of style.

    Turn-Based Rhythm Game.

    i think that would be those games in mario party where you have to remember the pattern then add another button press at the end

    Holy crap, Confrontation is based on a pretty obscure miniature war game. I never imagined it would have the fanbase for a game of any kind.

    The last one of those firmly describes Fallout: Tactics, which despite being the weakest of the PC Fallouts, is actually still pretty fun. And I think has a Lets Play rattling around here somewhere. Probably a few pages back.

    Ok so I'm confused. You don't like Bulletstorm's UI because of issues Borderlands had?

    Oh, wow, I'm amazed that Payday is my most played game.

    You have nearly 300 games in your list, but less than 50 games with any time played. Either you're doing Steam very wrong or very right.

    My most played is TF2 with 402 hours right now, but at the current rate Dota 2 will have beaten in a month. Maybe two.

    It's not Warhammer, but it's far from obscure. It's fairly big in Europe. It has some great minis.

    Confrontation has my interest just because it looks like it plays a lot like Dawn of War 2, which I absolutely loved. I can still pick that game's single player up and play it anytime.

    However, it was made by Cyanide Studios and they don't have a very good track record.

    Are you the magic man?

Also, if someone really wants it, I got a key for Dino D-Day as well, but that's kinda like asking if anyone wants some herpes for free.

    Could you have too many groups? On your page it's way down the bottom, so maybe it can only display 15 or something? Maybe try setting it as your primary group for a minute.

    I tried myself and could set it for a group giveaway, so it's probably specific to you.

    You can't trust Steam's playtime indicators at all. For example, Steam says that I have zero hours played in Borderlands.

    And it doesn't help that there's literally no video options, multiple actions linked to 1 key, oh and the fact that they encrypted the files so you need to download an application just to access the files to change settings that should have been available in the menu in the first place. It's a fun game, but face it. It's a mess on PC. The fact that it's GFWL is just icing on the cake. It might be worth more on consoles, but I'm glad I only paid 5 bucks for it on PC because that's all it's worth here. If you're going to be lazy and just quickly port over a game to make a few bucks, then you deserve to fail.
