Yuuki

@Wipqozn It seems it might be a PS4 problem.

@Chippies Now I'm tempted.

I have an electric that's been sitting around, gathering dust for a few years now.

I know few tunes, but I wouldn't consider myself proficient at all.

Origami Robot

@Yuuki I can play Pop Goes the Weasel

Chippies

@Yuuki the difficulty goes up and down dynamically, although I believe I read in 2014 you can set to stay in one difficulty, which, if true, I would recommend

Origami Robot

19:06

Chippies

since it's basically like guitar hero, but with a real guitar, the spikes in difficulty can catch you off guard and it will just throw you back in the easier difficulty, which you may have already perfected

@OrigamiRobot strings on a bass are really expensive, last I've checked (long ago, in a different country)

where guitar strings were the equivalent of 10$, bass strings were 30$ and above

Chippies

@OrigamiRobot I can't speak for Rocksmith 2014, but in the original one, you start out playing few notes and then as the game notices you're hitting most of them, it increases the amount of notes and perhaps adds or switches to chords

it usually starts with a bass line, cut down to a note every few beats (probably not the word I'm looking for)

every few measures?

does that sound more correct?

I'm not very good with my musical lingo

StrixVaria

Beats are more frequent than measures. Most pop and rock music has 4 beats per measure.

Origami Robot

They have so many songs I want :(

Chippies

19:22

@StrixVaria oh okay, I guess I did mean beats then

Sterno

Now it's just spinning on a white checkout page

Chippies

although it possibly starts with like, 1 note per measure

then gradually increases

Sterno

You have all the money, Steam. You can afford better servers.

Chippies

I would have loved Rocksmith, if only it didn't require their proprietary audio interface

I had the game pirated with a crack that allowed me to use my own audio interface, but the drm would kick in after few minutes of playing the game and it was the worst

if it didn't require that proprietary interface, I probably would have bought the game last year when it was on sale

Jason Berkan

Now it's time to play the Steam "cull the wishlist" game. Any game on my wishlist > 70% off that I'm not buying right now is not a game that should be on my wishlist.

@StrixVaria ~~Half Life 2~~ Ravenholm is great

HL2 was one of the first games with physics puzzles, because shooters before it didn't really have complicated physics, and they definitely spent time showing that off.

RPi_Awesomeness

@OrigamiRobot I will gladly take it :D

StrixVaria

If you look at HL2 compared to today's games, it doesn't hold up, I agree.

If you look at HL2 compared to what was available at the time, it was revolutionary (as was HL1).

Origami Robot

@RPi_Awesomeness You are Paradigm something on steam, yes?

RPi_Awesomeness

@OrigamiRobot Oui

Chippies

@StrixVaria it was revolutionary for all the reasons that don't age well in videogames

it had mechanics no other game had at the time

it brought us the great source engine

which still manages to hold up with newer engines

but as a game, it's just not that fun

especially when the mechanics of HL2 are available in plenty of other games nowadays

Origami Robot

@StrixVaria All my complaints about HL2 can be summed up by "desert and ant lions"

And in all fairness, maybe my hatred for those parts is warping my memory of how much time they took.

StrixVaria

@OrigamiRobot No that game has some long-ass sections.

Chippies

I have tried playing through HL2 twice and both times I got bored

the story I've seen was "hey, you're the famous guy from that other game, those guys are after you. Go!"

and that was at least 3 hours into the game

Rapitor

the one time I played it the only thing that went through my mind constantly is "why do so many people want a third installment of this?"

Chippies

@Rapitor or "why is this considered the best game in history of video games and saying otherwise is considered blasphemy"

I acknowledge and appreciate the things it brought to us, but that's mostly credit to Source engine, not so much HL2

Batophobia

20:26

Anyone played this thing?

Rapitor

I'm not even certain I would've considered it enjoyable back when it came out either. I was too busy with Unreal and Quake :P

@Chippies the same could be said about the unreal series and the Unreal engine, but you don't see droves of people going ballistic over it.

Chippies

@Rapitor I guess HL1 was the really good game that raised the bar for storytelling and game mechanics and game engines

and that's where HL2 got the hype from

MadMAxJr

HL2 was a novel thing when it came out. It was a long, playable shooter, and it was the launch title for Steam, which was promising big things.

Chippies

@MadMAxJr steam was forced down people throats and they hated it

Rapitor

@Chippies and look at it now...

MadMAxJr

20:29

I have been assured Steam is just a fad many, many times by a friend who is hyper-critical of digital rights management, and hugs his physical copies closely.

Chippies

we probably wouldn't have steam if valve gave us a different franchise on steam launch

Rapitor

origin and uplay is going down the same path. people are slowly tolerating it more.

maybe not so much uplay...

but i don't hear as much crying over origin

Chippies

@Rapitor people tolerate uplay because they spent 60$ on their games and they have no choice

MadMAxJr

I'm glad we never ended up with a game that required steam, uplay, and GFWL at the same time.

Chippies

I can't complain about Origin as much, but that's probably because there are no games on Origin that I care about

MadMAxJr

20:31

Dawn of War 2 was teeth-grindingly unbearable due to TWO levels of meta-DRM systems at once. Steam + GFWL was the worst.

Chippies

whereas there are quite a few games I'd like to play, but they require uplay

StrixVaria

@Chippies There are by definition no games on Origin that I care about.

Rapitor

@MadMAxJr Microsoft actually understoon GFWL was a terrible thing. it was a neat idea to have your gamertag work for xbox and PC, but ultimately it didnt work

Frank

@MadMAxJr I'd've said fuck it to any game that used either uPlay OR GFWL after that.

MadMAxJr

@Rapitor I partook in the grand experiment that was Shadowrun and the crossover play between Xbox and PC. That was hideous thing

Chippies

20:31

@MadMAxJr idk about dawn of war, but how about Steam + GFWL + securom? Batman: Arkham Asylum/City had those before they got rid of it all

MadMAxJr

Turns out when you pit dedicated mouse and keyboard players against controller players, things get skewed.

I don't think they did any more cross-platform titles in GFWL after that.

Rapitor

like i said. neat idea, bad execution.

Unionhawk

Theoretically you can have a mix of kbm and controller players in literally any multiplayer PC game...

Technically

Rapitor

it looks like they are trying it again though. as your gamertag works with windows mobile and windows 8 and the like.

Batophobia

@Frank I still say that for any game that uses uPlay

Chippies

20:33

@Unionhawk there are ways to use kbm on console as well

@OrigamiRobot That's because they're essentially professional athletes. To consider some of them as "students" is laughable.

They play sports to get money. The only difference between them and actual professional athletes is that aforementioned money goes to the college, not the "student".

Students often go to college on a sports scholarship for having done well prior to university. Promising college sports stars are groomed and shaped for professional team scouts to find them.

Its not my computer or anything, and everybody else does fine, and this happens in most games I play. The game I'm talking about know though, is Garry's Mod, although ...

@OrigamiRobot Why would you only give him Portal and not Portal 2?

Matt Giltaji

@Powerlord because #lifehacks

Powerlord

Anyway, I'm disappointed that they didn't offer AP Comp Sci. Only AP class they offered where I went was AP Calculus.

and I hated the instructor for that class.

Chippies

@Powerlord because a while ago it was given out to everyone for free and if you owned Portal, you got one in your inventory

Powerlord

So, did the Steam Winter/ɹǝɯɯnS sale start yet?

murgatroid99

I kind of want to buy stuff because it's on sale, and I kind of don't because I already have enough games I don't play

Powerlord

murgatroid99

@Powerlord I'll just end up playing Rebirth anyway

Powerlord

My personal time I'm completely whimsical and do it whenever.

Chippies

@Powerlord well that's no fun then

Powerlord

@murgatroid99 Well, I meant scheduling it by both when you're going to play it and which game you're going to be playing.

I may also work on personal projects in my spare time at work. Maybe.

Also, going home time.

@Powerlord are there other known causes of TF2 crashes?

@RPi_Awesomeness I have no idea what it's causing TF2 to crash Steam (and hang itself in the process) but it's really annoying.

Sterno

I just almost bought Defense Grid 2, thought long and hard about it, and then realized I had an unredeemed Kickstarter code for it

YAY FOR NOT BUYING IT TWICE BY ACCIDENT

Matt Giltaji

Steam isn't being very downloady now

But I guess I don't really need to download my games to get started not playing them

I can't help but wonder what other unredeemed games I have now.
