Street Fighter V release day. Yet another thing to kill my free time--which I shouldn't even have right now
-
I'm replaying Fable: TLC, and I think that Anniversary would be better if only because of controller support. I prefer keyboard/mouse inputs, but console ports don't always translate well, and this one suffers somewhat from that.

Have you tried the Steam Controller? It does a pretty awesome job of dealing with those old keyboard-only games.

That's an interesting use for it. I'm in the market for a controller but I've heard a lot of people complaining about the stream controller. Maybe I'll give it a shot.

Not so interesting as that was its designated purpose
The entire reason for the Steam Controller was to provide a way for keyboard/mouse games to be played with a controller. If it wasn't for that, you'd just use an Xbox 360 or Logitech gamepad for everything. It's only for the keyboard/mouse stuff that the Steam Controller is something special. -

I've been playing Warframe as of late. It's a ton of fun if anyone wants to join me some time let me know.
There is a game that started out bad and evolved over time into something good (from what I hear)
-
Warframe is pretty fun, haven't played it for a bit, I was just playing Medusa's Labyrinth which is creepy as all hell.
-
Played a ton of Highrise Heroes yesterday, and two hours of Millenium and a little bit of Secrets of a Lost Planet last night.
-
@dominica is playing 9 Clues: The Secret of Serpent Creek now.
-
Played a few hours of Elite Dangerous over the weekend. Doing bounty hunting for the most part. Easy way to make a lot of money quickly. The game doesn't have a lot of depth yet but all the systems are in place to add a decent story.

After playing Fable: TLC for awhile I decided to revisit Fable III, so I reinstalled that. I did opt to back an interesting kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1314680699/children-of-zodiarcs-a-new-tactical-jrpg-by-aaa-ve/. Hopefully it is actually released soon.

Street Fighter V -- In the lab super hard

So I picked up Valkyria Chronicles due to the 75% off coupon, and I have to say this is a good melding of story and gameplay. So far it looks like it deserves all the glowing reviews on Steam. It is a story game set in a world based heavily on late 1930's Europe. In it there is extensive dialog interspersed with turn based, third person shooter action. If it sounds odd, you're right. On the other hand, it works well. Basically you get a turn with a limited number of command points. You spend CPs to allow your characters to perform actions. When you select to spend a CP on a character you then switch to a third person view where you can move freely within the bounds of your character's Action Points. At any point within that you can perform an action, e.g. fire a gun, throw a grenade, heal, etc. Where it diverges further from an XCom style game is that while a character is moving, any enemy that has LOS on it will be firing at them, so don't run out in front of a tank or a machine gunner.
There are RPG, character building elements I understand, but I haven't gotten to them yet. The UI is a little clunk because the game was originally released for the PS3, and then ported to PC. It is one of the best ports I've run across though.
Anyhow, this is well worth the $5 in my opinion.

While I was playing it I was thinking you'd like it with your penchant for story oriented games.
-
@Kelly aww, it's not on sale anymore. Or did you have a coupon code or something?
