Steam Treasure Hunt

[DarkeSword]

No it isn't, it just seems that way because the trajectories aren't straight-lines. As time progresses, gravitational pull increases, so you have to adjust for curving approaches.

[Bahamut]

I've had many times where my bat was right where the ball is supposed to land, and the ball would pass through it - one time it passed through right through the center. If that's not spotty hit detection, I don't know what is.

[kitty]

Sooo Shatter worth the $2.50?

[DarkeSword]

Yes, it is. It's a really fun take on Breakout-style paddle games with an awesome soundtrack.

One of its songs also

that has nothing to do with the game.

[kitty]

I'm a little disappointed that I can't get my Dualshock 3 to get recognized by Shatter especially since Recettear hooked up with it seamlessly. Doubly disappointed since there was a PS3 version before the PC version too.

[Dhsu]

Surely you have several 360 controllers lying around.

Yeah fortunately I do have some 360 controllers with the wireless adapter for PC.

At least some of you can have the "pleasure" of dealing withe the bonus mode.

I suck so bad I can't even get past the boss of the granule extractor.

(Little advice plz?)

Use your gun whenever you get it, and don't ever hold left click for long on a boss. Only use the vacuum to quickly eat shards, or position the ball. Don't multi-ball on bosses.

Edit: If you use the gun at the start of a life, the ball won't come out until it's over -- this allows you to concentrate fully on firing.

Also, I've gotten the chest for Shatter! Woot. Also, $2.50 for a decent netbook game is a pretty sweet deal.

[kitty]

The chest for Shatter was annoying as hell on a controller. Had to use the mouse for the higher sensitivity.

[Unstable Hamster]

I totally agree with the Shatter game, well worth the price. And yes, that bonus mode was a HUGE pain to get, I got really close a couple of times but I finally made it. Can't wait to see what's coming up in a few seconds!

[Imagist]

Watch... trailers? Seriously?

[Hyperion5182]

Yep. And i'll tell you what. That got me JACKED to buy homefront. I've been looking for a modern setting FPS that was actually GOOD. This is looking like it.

I wanted Deus Ex already because i love that series and its been too goddamned long.

I just saw the 40k trailer for space marine...and god was i worried about that game. Being a 40k player and knowing the lore knowing the game as i do i was scared as hell that after the warhammer MMO this could go to shit. No longer. If anything that game showed me EXACTLY what i wanted to see.

And the portal 2 co-op trailer!? THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN SHOWN DURING THE VGA'S!

May they live up to the trailers.

[Dhsu]

Loved the Homefront backstory trailer when I first saw it so I didn't feel like I was wasting my time watching it again.

I LOL'd at the Portal 2 logo because all I could think of was Pedobear.

Anyone play Metro 2033 yet? How long does the Nosalis Hunter achievement take?

[Imagist]

who else was kind of pissed they asked you to sit through that red faction and brink shit I mean those were pretty terrible

[Gollgagh]

OH MAN SITTING THROUGH THESE TRAILERS FOR A TREASURE HUNT SURE IS HARD WORK

SHIT l'M WORKIN UP A HELL OF A SWEAT HERE

god DAMN here that BROTHA HOLLA

[Dhsu]

I thought the second Brink trailer was pretty sweet with the parkour and stuff.

[Cinderwild]

I can't even get through one song on Beat Hazard

[HoopyFrood]

Don't worry Cinderwild. I was pretty bad at it when I started too. (still am but that's neither here nor there:wink:)

My advice is to use a game pad if you've got one and just keep at it, the unlocks you get as you progress do help a lot, and if a song is giving you too much trouble try another.

To be honest I only just did it today by using the album that comes with the game.

[Bahamut]

I did it to the Angra album Rebirth - I've found that higher intensity tracks tend to be easier, or at least ones that are loud for the most part. I was able to complete the whole album and get back to the start if I remember right.

[DarkeSword]

Do you actually have to download the trailers or can you just stream them on the game pages?

[Bahamut]

You have to download them - there should be a button for it just to the right and bottom of where you can select what trailers/artwork to see.

[kitty]

Eh at least I can download them directly in the Steam window. I've watched the DX:HR movie like 20 times streamed before today so I guess watching these other ones isn't a big deal.

[Powerlord]

Within the last 10 minutes, Valve decided that the watch demos objective was stupid and everyone now has it:

"Turns out this one is kind of hard to track. All eligible Steam accounts are now entered for this objective. Nice work!"
