General Game Discussion for March 2026

[Zed Clampet]

Most followed games releasing on each day in March​

This was mostly provided by SteamDB, although I had to work on it a bit. I have no idea why SteamDB only uses "followed" instead of "wishlisted". I never "follow" games.

Had to change my avatar; given the forum changeover made avatars much bigger, I couldn't stand to look at my ugly mug.

Finished Half-Life 2 last night. Still a really great game, but with a more modern perspective I feel like it falls apart a bit at the end. There were several instances toward the end, when City 17 is in ruins, where I had no idea where to go and several spots ended-up devolving into endless fights against respawning enemies.

It also must have been much longer than I thought since I last played it, because I didn't remember a vast majority of stuff in the second half of the game. Numerous areas and platforming sections that were just complete blanks in my mind.

Anyway, time to move on to the Episodes, I think and hopefully get the motivation to play Alyx afterwards.

Servers well known for picking weekends to die. Best time when no one there to fix it.

Appears problem related to themes since its gone onto a different one. This is better than what used to be the default Xenforo theme

Forum was very pretty earlier, I wasn't sure it was me even after checking 3 different browsers. When others saw same thing I knew it wasn't me. As I couldn't do anything about it, I just waited. Someone would notice eventually.

What?? But it isn't March ye... it IS March! Sheesh, time flies. That means Daylight Savings is kicking in next weekend.

I do like having the 'bread crumb' links at the very bottom of the page in this format!

I just downloaded it mostly because it was free. Now I have 4000 more achievements on the "did not achieve" list kept by Steam.
