Chalks posted:Actually I notice that their "upcoming" tab is now "popular upcoming" which has probably improved things since I last noticed. It's been like that for months. The majority of games in the current popular upcoming list are from new devs too. Some of you guys are giving yourselves brain damage trying to poo poo on Steam. Same with all the people that claim Valve attacked LGBT games or something. That literally never happened.

The problem with Valve putting a porn filter on Steam is that it would be based on what tags the publisher puts on the games. I've seen hardcore porn without any kind of adult content tags on it before in my queue. Or Valve could actually hire people to curate Steam but

I've seen sex dolls in Amazon's safety razor catalog, this isn't a problem unique to Steam.

I don't think it was an intended attack but their crackdown of porn games definitely hit quite a few lgbt games while leaving many obvious porn games because Valve is kind of poo poo at doing anything the current situation where they are mostly hands off is probably an improvement since they suck at actually doing anything else

I wonder what affect it would have on games like that if they couldn't advertise that they contained porn though. Det_no posted:It's been like that for months.

Yeah, I have to admit not constantly going back and checking the "upcoming" list after repeatedly finding it filled with garbage. I'm only assuming the problem is fixed because it's not a problem literally right now when I check the lists.

I am with the storefront being fine, looking at it is generally worth the single click and five seconds of eyeball movement it costs me, maybe I'm an outlier idk

Nah, there was the one that claimed they were being targeted unfairly only to turn out to be flagrantly porny, but there were a handful of VNs or whatever that literally just had stuff like "and then the high school girls smooched" that were suddenly verboten.

Is there a mod or something to remove the running zombies from Dying Light? They're obnoxious and basically make anything efficient irritating to use since it all makes noise.

Was Telltale's Guardians of the Galaxy game of particular note? From what a friend has said I'll really enjoy the Batman games so I'm gonna pick them up before they go poof and Guardians is the only other one I'm both missing and have any kind of interest in. (Well outside of TWD final season but that got scooped up by Epic, so, y'know.)

It didn't. Back when the waifuapocalypse or whatever happened it also affected games from devs like the Sakura series and Huniepop, it's just that some people chose to believe it was about LGBT games. Later on, we discovered it was all part of that new process in which devs HAVE to write a little warning blurb describing the nature of a game's adult content and that brought a second pass of scrutiny on games with sexual stuff. You COULD say that Valve hosed up the process and alarmed visual novel markers with their loving lovely communication skills but some sort of LGBT witchhunt? Pure fantasy.

(Well outside of TWD final season but that got scooped up by Epic, so, y'know.) The CEO of Telltale at the time thought the Guardians franchise was suppose to be dark, brooding and edgy. That translated into the game. It has a scant few funny moments but a decently strong story that borrows more from the comics while having something closer to the MCU aesthetic. It's pretty mediocre overall sadly.

Playing steamworld heist. Stuck on the cargo barge mission. I got the heavy guy and bought him a grenade launcher which helps, but the really large melee guys + the turrets are wrecking my poo poo. I'm playing on medium difficulty. I've got some bombs I end up not using, some thorn armour, and I went back a couple of missions and ground like, one level out of my guys which helped a bit but not a lot. Are you supposed to be replaying missions a bunch? because I played the first 5 or so with no problem, but 'cargo barge' with 'crusher class scrappers' is wrecking my poo poo. I'm sure I can do it if I grind out another level or so and stuff, but wow, it's a brick wall. Am I supposed to be retreating a full run for a turn, to get into a better position? This seems to be counter to the 'rush because turrets will appear' timer. Will turrets keep on appearing or do they appear once and that's it?

Ambaire posted:So I realized I'd bought Lego Star Wars The Complete Saga like 4 years ago but never actually played it. Booted it up an hour ago to try it out.. how the gently caress do you play this game? There's a timer and a % thing I'm guessing is level completion status, but the only stuff I can do is laser sword the scenery and aliens and shake stuff out of mugs, for what purpose I don't know. from memory it sounds like you might be wandering around the cantina hub area. if you head into the back you find entrances to the actual levels.

sebmojo posted:I thought there was like one single game that complained about it and it turned out to be bdsm furry porn? Nope, that game you mentioned is one of them but quite a few others with lgbt themes got banned, including several that had no sexual content whatsoever, while a bunch of actual porn games got left up. Probably the result of chuds figuring out and abusing the ~algorithm~... which, considering Valve, probably means just spamming the 'report' button or whatever.

I think I was just underlevelled because I ground wuthering heights 'til the strongman had level 3 and then wrecked that level. It helped that everyone had a grenade, and this time there were 2 crushers instead of 3, for some reason.

Will turrets keep on appearing or do they appear once and that's it? Turrets are finite and you can tell where they will appear. Reinforcements seem infinite and you never know from which door they'll spawn. Pistols with a laser sight are weaker than regular pistols, but the ability to SEE how your bullets bounce can lead to insane (head)shots.
