thumbs down
Pretty sure that's been in for a while.
Does the Store also need that bullshit account linking for Steam keys?
Their support never got back to me, and I still can't get it working, so...

Yeah, there's some major store page bloat at this point. The amount of space the screenshots/description section takes up is practically less than reviews now.
It's been there since Steam first got screenshot functionality.

Am I seeing things or do some profile pages now have that blue color gradient from the download overview? I don't know, I wish the UI would get more simple instead of adding useless stuff.
Yup. Now I'm wondering if we should start linking our review pages so people can check 'em out.

Hopefully Valve is planning a client/storefront revamp in the near future.

After a couple failed attempts at writing reviews I think I just can't do it anymore.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
Purchase date is from Enhanced Steam.
I agree that the review box is currently much too big, I might add an option to collapse/expand it.You are correct. Everything in the "games" section of your profile now has a blue color burst gradient at the top of the page. This includes "Recent Games", "All Games", "Wishlist" and now "Reviews"

Yea well... my reviews bring all the boys to the yard.
Is this the last area after you exit the cave? If so I saw that one too when I looked up from below, I thought that was the final area I was suppose to get to at first, got there and no one was there, I didn't take a picture though
Here's the place fellow GAFfer:

I'm a huge fan of micro reviews, especially the clever one-line or haiku reviews. Try that.
I want to be friends with you so that I can eat popcorn while I read these reviews.
edit: I'm bored at work so I think I'm going to downvote every positive alpha protocol review now. brb.
Steam's evolution to a user-driven platform continues. Sure, the upcoming score system will be an addition to the existing Metacritic score at first, but anything that cuts out the influence of the compromised gaming press via the Metacritic score is welcome. I wonder how they're going to handle review/score bombing by users though.

No new humble store stuff?
Excellent news. I've been holding off playing it until they patched in multiplayer.
I dunno if anyone in this thread other than morningbus could pull that off, but I agree with the general sentiment. A paragraph or two would be perfectly appropriate. Frankly, since I'm not sure you can do much in the way of formatting, long-form reviews would probably be cumbersome to read.
I think the sale is over.
The Newest category has some new entries, but they're mostly games that had been on humble widgets already.

It feels kinda silly for me to have my jaw drop at a DLC list after having whored myself out for almost every single Crusader Kings II DLC but
what in the actual fuck, Agarest: Generations of War

Yeahhh that's the spot!
This is a good question.
Oh man, just wrote a long post about the greatness of Metro: Last Light and the things I enojyed in Bioshock Infinite and Call of Juarez: Gunslinger in best FPS of 2013 thread and it got locked before I posted it.
Well, in short, they're all great games with their strengths and weakness, go buy and play them

It's part of their marketing strategy, supposedly. Basically they plan on releasing small pieces of DLC a few a week to flood the "new releases" section on the homepage thus generating more revenue for their game. Look for more to come (slowly) in the weeks ahead.

Actually all of the DLC should be done now. Quite why it was released as it was isn't something I believe Ghostlight have discussed, but they've been looking for feedback on DLC so hopefully things'll be handled differently in future.

Jumping back into Sleeping Dogs, I forgot how difficult it is to drive 2 minutes without crashing. It's not even me, it's the asshole AI changing lanes and shit. I think i got to 1:48 and someone crashed into me.
This could take a while.

Agarest DLC isn't even that bad since you don't need any of it unless you like collecting DLC. Which I don't think anyone has gotten to that point on Steam yet.
Aside from that I have 25+ hours in it I think and have been enjoying myself mainly for the story and characters. As for the gameplay I couldn't tell you much since i'm currently cheating my ass off since I didn't want to bother with grinding xp or farming items to get better items. If there's one thing I don't like about Agarest is that you can't actually buy better weapons just base weapons which you have to upgrade and combine to get better stuff. Which is more a pain in the ass if you're aren't into that.
It's going to come down to how much you like TRPGs and grinding. Because that's a good chunk of the game as I stated earlier.
But with that said I bought it Day 1 and even not liking that stuff I have been enjoying and don't feel like I overpayed. Sure I am cheating at this point but i've never been a big TRPG guy. Well not when they're more advanced than Fire Emblem anyway.

From what I understand most of the DLC is basically cheats anyway.
Death, that hath suck'd the honey of thy breath,
Hath had no power yet upon thy beauty;
Thou art not conquer'd; beauty's ensign yet
Is crimson in thy lips, and in thy cheeks,
And death's pale flag is not advanced there.
Motherfucker.
