While the numbers themselves are just a small fraction of actual usage (as I guess most people using it don’t do it thru steam), it doubled in about a week.

What would be an “educated” guess of steam/non-steam users ratio? 1:50? 1:100?

Donjuanme , in Which upcomming indie game you have high hopes for ?

I’ve been waiting for defenders quest 2 for the better part of 7 years now! Very excited it’s getting closer.

Monaco 2 is looking much more large scale of a game than the first one, but the first one was such stupid fun multiple, I feel like it’ll be gta2 to gta2 upgrade in gameplay and graphics.

Streets of rogue 2 is coming, that was a fun one.

I’m also excited for book of aliens, book of demons was in no way original but a great parody game with original styling and good humor. I’m curious to see how the developers do an rts/StarCraft style genre, their diablo was on point.

Split signal is hopefully anothe very simple to play puzzle games from one of my favorite 2 minute play time window games lyne.

But far and away the one I’m most looking forward to is defenders quest 2.

Ostrichgrif , in Which upcomming indie game you have high hopes for ?

Not upcoming but dark and darker just released and has been the best gaming experience I’ve had in years. Would highly recommend to almost anyone

reddig33 , in Tomb Raider I-III Remastered

Really tired of games being called “remastered” when it just looks like the original blocky-ass game running in an emulator.

Liome ,
@Liome@pawb.social avatar

That’s pretty much what remaster is.
It comes from music industry where remastering is just mixing audio channels with different settings.
Besides, Lara’s boobs are round now, that’s probably the main thing they wanted to update, lol.

I’m kind of partial to the pointy boobs myself, so I guess I’ll stick with the original.

I'm sad that valve has so far shelved plans for Halflife 3.

They might revive it, but I think they even stopped working on the new Source Engine.

BlackEco ,
@BlackEco@lemmy.blackeco.com avatar

By new Source Engine, are talking about Source 2? It already powers Dota 2, Half-Life Alyx and the upcoming Counter Strike 2.

chaogomu ,

I believe it was actually Source 3. I remember news from a few years back that Valve had stopped work on it.

I believe it was early in development at the time.

cobysev ,

I thought they officially announced Half-Life 3 was dead a few years ago. They released the game’s script online so fans could get some sort of conclusion.

SkyeStarfall ,

Valve didn’t release it, just en ex-employee though, right?

And it wasn’t the script, just what that employee planned it to be.

Canadian_Cabinet ,

Yeah, Marc Laidlaw, one of the creators of the series

BlackEco ,
@BlackEco@lemmy.blackeco.com avatar

Yep, it was Marc Laidlaw on his personal blog after he left Valve.

drekly ,

After completing alyx, I wouldn’t count it out.

Everyone should play alyx.

CaptKoala ,

I’m not even finished Alyx, I started again when I got my new build done and I went from an 8/10-10/10 and I haven’t even finished it yet. I played HL2VR mod immediately prior and it has completely changed the way I view the whole series.

drekly ,

Yeah it took me literally years to complete it and then suddenly got on a roll and finished it in one week. On completion I don’t know why I didn’t do it sooner. It was a fantastic journey.

CaptKoala ,

It’s given me a huge perspective shift on why the 7-hour war was only 7-hours.

The combine in their prime before Dr Freeman’s crowbar entered the scene, is a terrifying machination.

My appreciation for Alyx Vance has also skyrocketed, badass woman, through and through.

thantik , in Happy Birthday to Steam as it turned 20 today

As of 11:55am EST today, my account still hasn’t turned 20, so I’m guessing they actually store the exact hour/minute/second that you signed up for your account too. I think I used to get home from school around 2:45pm, so I gotta keep checking.

ShadowRam ,

Your profile literally says the hour/min you signed up.

Just click on you 19year badge.

thantik ,

Thx, Apparently I signed up way later in the day than I thought! I gotta wait until 11pm, lol - damn it, I wanted to show off my 20yr badge in a screenshot today. :D

Kyoyeou ,

Would be curious to see it!

When Gaben dies and Steam inevitably sells out to corporate shills I’m going to shake my fist at the sky in anger.

XTornado ,

Yeah… as years go I keep thinking about this. Not sure if he has any real thought plan or something for somebody he trusts… I mean he has kids but not sure about them wanting anything to do with it, or him wanting to give it to them, no idea.

I hope they keep him alive forever like a US congressperson

MAKE PORTAL 3 COWARDS. YOU WONT.

MJBrune ,

Honestly portal 2 was less interesting then portal 1. It was very meme heavy. It also became focused on running for your life instead of a puzzle game with a mystery. I’d rather see a new IP that isn’t a card game.

trslim ,

I like portal 1 quite a bit more than portal 2. Portal 1 felt like this dark mystery with occasional bits of humor. It felt very connected to Half Life, not necessarily in story, but definitely in atmosphere. Portal 2 was missing a lot of that. It oddly felt less lonely than Portal 1, and was missing a lot of that Half Life atmosphere.

Additionally I love the implications that Portal 1 has if you play Half Life. Outside is absolute hell, and you don’t know if you’d rather be outside the facility or inside it.

HidingCat ,

What about Half-Life 3? XD

ours ,

Make anything non-CS/TF-related.

HL Alyx was 3 years ago.

Cool! Now if only it would scrap the shitty DRM

Psythik ,

You mean the Steam DRM that is cracked within seconds of a game releasing?

SpookyGenderCommunist ,
@SpookyGenderCommunist@hexbear.net avatar

Doesn’t matter, tbh. It shouldn’t be there in the first place

Psythik ,

Never said I don’t agree with you. Quite the opposite, instead. (Hence the joke about how the DRM is so shitty that it’s cracked within seconds.)

Galli ,

It’s token DRM for publisher box checking. It shouldn’t need to there but I appreciate that they almost make a point of doing the bare minimum.

My account turns 20 on the 14th, and I can't help but think about the fact that games like Half-Life and Counter-Strike that I bought once 20 years ago are still so easy to play and enjoy today. Steam really set the model for how digital media sales should be done.

epyon22 ,

Contrast to that was trying to play StarCraft again and even though I own I don’t have a CD drive anymore. I’d have to buy another copy to even play again.

doubletwist ,

Actually if you have/create a battle net account, you can register your CD key to your account, and then they have a downloadable installer for starcraft and Diablo. 2, and other old games.

ChronosWing ,

Pretty sure 20 years ago Counter Strike was still a free mod for half life.

Just amazing this one, loved reading the history page!
