Never mind Valve releasing a game - we don't even know what they're working on other than Dota 2! All we really know about is the Steam box and the VR guys working on adding Oculus RIft support to games like TF2 and HL2, but they must be working on another game, right?

So, latest rumors (well, some hours old, but still quite fresh) indicate that there might be some kind of game borrowing feature coming to Steam. People have found in Steam's files some strings that would heavily hint towards such system.
It's still little more than random rumors, but I'm interested of seeing if something comes out of this. And how it would work in practice.
I thought Half Life was a really great game. HL2, on the other hand, felt bloated and sluggish, and I've never understood why people said it had a good story. I'd rather a new title with new characters and new worlds to attempting to squeeze more out of Half Life.
I find it extremely surprising that game devs can be so out of touch with the whole ecosystem. How can you make a turn based strategy game and then say "...we didn’t really care if nobody bought it on the PC."?

I'm finding that most companies are completely clueless about their customers in all industries. The exceptions are the greats.

That doesn't really make them out of touch considering it's a quasi-casual turn based game designed primarily for tablets, the standard PC market is secondary literally by design. The thing that does make them out of touch, however, is that they actually believed Windows mobile + surface would garner millions of users who would actually buy their game. Also they thought XBLA was the best place for indie games ahahha.
I dunno, it could go either way. I would figure it'll probably play more like a rhythm puzzle game than anything, but it still looks fairly freaking cool!
Yeahhhh still on the fence about that one. On paper it seemed like a game I would love, but I played the demo and, while I liked it, it didn't particularly grab me. Maybe I need to play more.
That game looks like a not very good platforming game, and not a rogue-like at all?? Tales of Maj'Eyal and Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup are both insanely good + very free so everyone just play those forever.
Oh man, I loved the demo. The idea of choosing the next person and them having all these weird traits was really interesting. Plus I enjoy a solid castlevania style platformer.

Dude you can play the demo haha. You don't need to guess what its like. It's definitely roguelike in the sense that it's really hard.
It's weird that it's called "Rogue Legacy" tho IMO, cause with a name like that I would figure it's more like a straight forward Rogue style, yet modernized game.
Brogue > all current RLs. Get the Oryx tile version for maximum awesome.
I played this a little and a fucking monkey stole a potion from me and I couldn't catch the motherfucker.

Alas, I got fooled.
