If you have never played Trine do yourself a favor and pick up the Package Deal of 1 & 2 for less than $4. Before you play Trine 1 you will want to upgrade it to the Trine 2 engine with theTrine Enchanted Beta.

Trine 1 is great, but it is much better on the Trine 2 engine. The character controls feel much more natural on #2, the engine is just a big improvement overall.

Anyone else who bought the Bestbuy Razor mouse daily deal + 50$ card have trouble registering it? Ordered/shipped by online so I don't know if they forgot to active it or something but it won't let me register.

2nd this. Trine 1 & 2 were such enjoyable games. They are both pretty damn short though but for $4 it really doesn't matter. Pretty sure you can co-op Trine 2 as well (?) although I played solo both games. Hell, it was enjoyable just to make boxes/bridges with the wizard and try to glitch through things while you just enjoy the scenery.

I really dug Trine1 but couldn't get into Trine2 personally. But I also didn't like Portal and tons of Trine2 puzzles have portals.

how does local coop work for some of these PC games? makes sense for a console game on a big screen, or I guess if you have your computer on your TV?

Does it let you split screen it or something?

i bought it in store and no problem, make sure you use Games / Redeem a Steam Wallet code inside steam. If it doesn't activate then yeah BB didn't activate it and you will have to explore the 9 hells of best buy customer service

Anyone else have problems playing games not on Steam? Honestly are tons of games I would love to pirate and play but to hell with that if I can't have Steams achievements and game time tracking. Lol

Quite the amazing Eco-system they have created.

0 plats on playstation and proud of it, there are tons of people out there who play games just to get platinum/achieves/etc, literally playing games they hate but want to plat it. what the fuck is wrong with you, no one is gonna suck your dick cuz you got a platinum or are level 35 in steam. only platinum bitches care about is the platinum card in your wallet

only reason i like steam is because it keeps all my saves so i can come back months or years later on a new PC and continue where i left off

tropica 4 complete is $6 btw worth it dont buy tropica 5 until next year its the same game basically

Yeah, I wonder just how much money they pull in during these events from the card trading though. 2-5c per transaction adds up when there's 10,000,000 (totally made up #) cards traded over the course of these events.

Depends entirely on the game - but for most games I don't force myself, I generally play anything I'm not SURE I'll enjoy on my alt account first and then play stuff I intend to platinum on my primary account. And I feel Platinuming is a really nice thing because with the exception of a few irritating trophies (i.e. drinking trophy in Watch Dogs) trophies are a nice way of seeing that you've explored every nook and cranny of what a game has to offer.

I can count the number of games I beat up until getting into trophying on a fingers and toes probably in around 30 years of gaming (Ultima II on Atari 800 was my first game ever) - and probably on a single hand or maybe two for a count of how many I actually experienced every single bit that the game had to offer.

There's right and wrong ways to do trophying - I'd like to think my way of using it as a gauge of me eeking every ounce of enjoyment to be had in the game is the correct one. (Similarly you'll note a bunch of my "non-plats" are multiplayer trophies for a MP mode that I do not enjoy - if I enjoy the mode I'll play it into the ground to plat (i.e. TLoU, ME3) but if I don't I'll barely touch it)

[PS - Wife has actually given me a congratulatory BJ on a platinum that was getting frustrating at least once to add to the elation of getting over that last bump in the road OTW to it ^_^ - course she's had a history of tying sex and gaming achievements in our lives for quite a while, so many raid nights with a loot + a later bonus]

I am fairly interested in GOG galaxy honestly, yeah.

Single downloader, auto updates, etc.
Keeping track of random games is a pita.

I'll admit I have no interest in the achievements or trophies. I should have just said I love steams time tracking. TLoU on ps3 had it as part of the saves games and statistics and I was so thankful.

Love knowing how long I've played a game. Love it so much I don't pirate games much anymore. Lol

So far I've picked up CS:GO, Planetary Annihilation, and Magicka.

Anyone have any recommendations on things I shouldn't miss? Multiplayer only please. Thanks!
