Not Steam, but I've been playing Okami HD on my PS3 and it's such a great game so far. It's too bad it never got a PC port. For a game that's almost 10 years old, it still looks really nice.
I've just watched the new Dying Light dlc teaser showcasing everything they've put into the game so far. Picking up the expansion pack asap as any developer who puts this much effort into their game post release deserves the dosh. also..... VEHICLES WOOOOOHOOOOOOO!
Huh I just noticed Enhanced Steam has added a Performance Survey on game pages. That's a pretty nifty little feature for people that want to figure out how a game might run, provided the feature sees much use.
Soooo I'm not giving GMG any business anymore. The VIP page had a bad redirect which led to me to purchase a GOG key instead of Steam. Their support being tremendous asshats refuse to exchange or give me credit. I tried being nice, but now I'm going to dispute via my credit card. In turn they replied, "well since you want to dispute with your card we'll suspend your account and depending on the outcome of the dispute your account may remain permanently suspended."
Sad they are willing to lose a customer who has spent hundreds of dollars, maybe more.

That sounds awesome. I wish Enhanced Steam was still updated for Firefox.
It's an excellent example of why I hate 99% of Youtubers. You can literally click to any point at random in that video and the person will be talking. Just shut the fuck up for like ten seconds and let me take in the game you are playing.
Well... yeah? It's their job to keep talking? You can't let silence hang on too long in videos, it's just like radio silence. I spend most of my time with these videos running in the background, as I think most people do, so youtubers know they have to keep going to keep things interesting. If you're just looking for raw gameplay, of course you're not going to find it on a personality-based youtuber (ie, someone who is watched for themselves rather than the games they're playing).
Actually kinda surprised at that last one because, deserved or not, that's kinda a big name. I'm expecting a bunch of people to needlessly shit all over it in reviews. :V

That's a shame. GMG was crushing it for a while, but seems to be struggling a bit lately. They've certainly rubbed some customers the wrong way in the last year with delayed pre-order keys.
*reads up on the latest PowerDVD because he's not checked out that software in a long, long time*
...huh. Glad to see that it sounds like they've gotten it to be less bloat-y, but I'm genuinely surprised they were allowed to include some of this stuff? It can boot ISOs of blu rays without a virtual drive, and apparently allows you to physically download youtube video/extract the audio into mp3 files in a very streamlined manner. I thought that was of dubious legality.

GMG annoys me simply because they always have the same prices as other sites but you have to use a coupon code to get it. It's like "GameX only $6.25" but then they throw a 20% coupon code at you to bring it to $4.99 like other sites already had priced it previously. If you want to sell a game for $5, just do that, don't pretend that your VIP or coupons are special.

Really dumb question but if I bought a game that ran poorly and returned it but now I have a better system and bought that game again, would I still have the option to return it even if I had bought it before?

You should but I think it'll definetly be one thing they will sort of look at if they think you are abusing the system someday. Probably a single instance of this would be fine.

Except when they don't. There's a bunch of times I've gotten [sometimes significantly] better prices than other places because of coupon codes they email me. Especially on new release/preorder stuff. (granted, some issues folks have had with preorder keys make me hesitant to do that now, but it has, in fairness, never been an issue for me personally)

Maybe that's the difference - I don't buy a lot of new/preorder stuff since I'm eternally playing catch up

Extracting the audio is trivial anyways though...
For a lot of us. For the average computer user?
Depends on where you want to set the definition of average.
Yeah I've often found GMG's prices to often be a good chunk lower than other places. But they keep having issues. That plus Steam's new returns policy make me less likely to jump on the next 30-40% game from them.

Typically I like GMG, they do occasionally have the best deals but I just can't believe how awful this guy's response has been. I mean I contacted them within minutes, and normally I'd suck it up and just eat my loss, but it seems they are going out of their way to be needlessly rude and pedantic for the sake of.

Not to worry, 48 hours to go!
Gamescom needs to hurry up!
Life is Strange Episode 4 trailer. Coming out on the 28th.
48 hours... to what?
That sounds mildly ominous.
Oh dear, there's an actual countdown?
I think he got confused. Sleep deprivation, y'know? What he really means is that he wants 48 more games.
CorriganX on Steam and just about everywhere else.
Thanks for qbqbqb @Pixelated Pixie but no, I do not want 48 more games! I will, however, take so free time or a better job!
Yesssssss. This is currently my favorite game of the year, and episode 3 ended on the biggest gut punch cliffhanger ever. I can't wait.

All signs point to amazing performance, though locked at 30fps and really, really needs a controller to play.
