[wilflare]

I wonder which one I need to choose.

I don't get the Dino Crisis 3 joke.. or is that Lost Planet 3?

is there a page where we can check all our received gift messages?
I realized I should have screencapped some

Sorry. <3 Wilflare and the Vita love.

Check your email. The gift message should show up in the "You received a gift!" messages that you received @ your email associated with your Steam account.

I'm on my 2nd playthrough trying to platinum it must have put 100 hours on it already

FFX, FFX-2 are in my backlog too, now that I see them mentioned. Ys Celceta, another Muramasa DLC, the Atelier games, and more.

I'll have to try that one out if I ever convince myself to try Skyrim again. Although, it doesn't appear to fix anything for mages.

Thy this one if you're playing a mage!

http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/16225/?

It doesn't really fix anything, but it adds a bunch of fun new spells.

 

[Vazra]

Headache again smh. It shall be a fun night.

 

[BinaryPork2737]

I played it a ton before I got my PC, like... a LOT. I just don't really have the time to play what I want on both. I dunno.

I'm sort of in the same boat. Except I still buy a ton of games for it and never play them :|

I think it's a 23/33 split between games I've beaten and games I haven't finished on the 3DS. Though I think most of my problem is that I'm trying to slug my way through the bad Harvest Moon 3DS game and Animal Crossing, so I've sort of lost the will to play it right now.

My dad gave me his DS Lite once he moved on to the 3DS. You can probably guess how many games I've played on it.

Two.

Asscreed: Altair's Chronicles and Asscreed II: Discovery

can we end this 3ds vs vita debate with one piece of factual evidence as to which system is superior?

SMT IV is on 3ds, and not on Vita.

case closed

smt iv is garbage

Agree

I like your reworking of that even more.

 

[Shadownet]

Headache again smh.

you can't have a headache if you're only a skeleton with no brain Nito

 

[Jawmuncher]

I don't get the Dino Crisis 3 joke.. or is that Lost Planet 3?

This is what i'm talking about people. This is how bad DC3 is.
The joke is Cheddahz thinks it's the best game ever, despite knowing my hate for it.

Nito has a brain.

This one's pretty good!

Goddamnit, I just got all my Skyrim mods working together and now I have to add this one!

Can anyone give me a summary of the current restrictions for new, just-made Steam accounts? Like, any functions you can't access if you haven't bought a paid game, or any functions you need to be a certain community level to access at all? Also, in cases where your account needs at least one paid game, is an external key sufficient, or do you need to buy the game through Steam? Any restrictions about markets, trading, messaging, chatting, etc. I don't want to create a test account to try to figure it out if the information is listed anywhere.

Here's a complete summary.

 

[Syphon Filter]

The game is ok but not as good as 1 and 2. capcom was on something making that game.

 

[JaseC]

Then what DR3 collectibles are you talking about?

The in-game ones, of course. The game can tie me over until Unity hits.

+Jetpack!!!!
- Dinosaurs on Space and Robot Dinosaurs
- The camera changes at the worst times
- The Tank controls compared to the original is crap (Then again most of the problems come with the camera)
- The writing is goddamn awful
- I don't remember anything of the OST
- I don't remember the cast.
- Tons of deaths because of the fucking camera changes.

Meh is the highest rating I think I can ever give DC3 on a good day.
Setting alone just seems like they were out to go "How can we destroy this franchise?"

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thus far Lost Planet 3 is not bad at all. Especially for the 12.50 I payed for it.
If it keeps up i'd recommend it to anyone who likes third person shooters and stories.

 

[Lomax]

Huh.
Bundle keys do not count.

Yeah, my girlfriend's account has like 30 games now including games gifted through steam and bundle keys and none count as a purchase so she still can't use the market at all. I considered buying the 1 cent DLC for Pinball Arcade over the summer sale to see if that would work but I wasn't sure if it would work.

 

[tiny raptor]

Only one of the games I listed is the actual game, so go have fun!

all 4 games are bad rats

Yeah I really liked the story, atmosphere, and characters of LP3 but the gameplay was so bland that I couldn't justify playing through the entirety of it. I think playing the pc version would have helped since I wouldn't spend half my time in loading screens.

I'm still lost lol
so what's with the DC3 MB giveaways

 

[Chance Hale]

Oh I know old Stally is joking. But he must have gotten that from somewhere. My god, the horrors that lurk outside of SteamGAF, I'll better leave the light on this thread open while sleeping.

Well of course, people always come up with creative ways of trying to convince others than playing on the PC is a terrible chore.

 

[Jawmuncher]

Yeah was about to say the biggest issue by far is the gameplay.
It's just pretty typical TPS with nothing standing out. Load Times are really quick on the PC though. Can't imagine how bad they were on consoles.

I'm still lost lol

It's either bad rats because he really knows DC3 is bad.
Or it's the real game because no one wants DC3.

So I just tried CS:GO and got devastated in a casual match. I think you guys are going to have to teach me how to play this tomorrow

I just got a 25% off code from GMG for the Dark Souls 2 Season Pass but it says it won't work with GMG credits. Is this a new policy? I was saving the credits to get the Season Pass and now it won't let me use them.

 

[JaseC]

Huh.
Bundle keys do not count.

Assuming that's true I'd wager it's limited to more recent Humble and IG keys since they're the only two sites that use the Oauth system -- it'd be quite easy for Valve to have the account restriction system consider such keys as ineligible purchases, however it's practically impossible for Steam to distinguish between, say, a key bought as part of a Bundle Stars bundle and one bought through the developer directly.

 

[Jawmuncher]

You're better off just jumping into a SteamGAF match and just going with the flow.
You're bound to pick up a bit after many matches of getting stomped. Though it might not be a good amount. Getting kills even when I aim right at someone is usually a toss up for me.

Yep it's been the policy for awhile now and makes the credit pretty pointless now on bigger purchases.

They've been doing that for a few months; credits don't stack with their vounchers anymore, presumably because of Playfire.

 

[user237]

I want to buy Q*bert but some of the review complain of bad controls.

Q*bert with bad controls would be horrible

 

[wilflare]

I'm horrible at that game... :/
but I finally found a weapon where I can get a decent score.
Shotgun :/

horrible with the sniper rifles and everything else

 

[Mozendo]

If you play as CT go for the AUG, it's a great weapon.
If you play as a T the AK is good in short to medium-ish range.

And shoot in short bursts.

 

[DaBargainHunta]

Are you being serious or sarcastic? Because I don't remember the controls on that game ever being particularly good.

The batmans for example from the WB humble bundle are listed as "Retail" (along with a couple of others), but they don't count.
(my colleague's account has bundle games from all the major bundles, but can't sell anything on the market)

Hmmm, not sure what that translate to, since "meh" isn't really a word.

How can it have bad controls? It uses the analog stick as an arcade stick. So it's pretty much the same as playing on a Q*Bert cabinet? I don't have any real problems with it after what I played of it yesterday.

 

[DaBargainHunta]

@&*#$@!!

Thanks for clearing that up.

Odd. There are no Humble-specific subs for the WB games and I find it hard to believe that Valve maintains a huge database of all the retail keys that have gone to bundle sites.

Edit: Can he vote on Greenlight, send friend invites or chat to people? If so then his account isn't stuck in new user status.

Don't get me wrong: I love the game (the classic version anyway - haven't tried it on Steam yet), but I can easily see how newbie kids would cry about "bad controls." They are clunky by today's standards.

That's how much I dislike it.
Even on a good day I can't translate my feelings with a real word.
Though I had to enter for it since i'm curious what's getting related to it.

 

[Mozendo]

I think I am too embarrassed to ever play again

Yeah, that's normal.
My first CS:GO match I was insulted a lot because I didn't have the eye of a hawk and catlike reflexes.

Just play hostage casual to get better, tons of newbies play there.

 

[ItsGeeMcGee]

Ehh just keep playing you'll get git. I just ignore all the peps who say mokoi you suck. lol

Thanks! Haha yeah I've played quite a bit of battlefield on console so I am used to hearing how my atomic matter is wasted on me. I'll keep at it

Thanks for the explicit confirmation that neither gifts nor bundles work. That's very interesting. So if I want a fully functional Steam bot (no, I don't have anything working yet, I'm just spitballing--I'm going to have about 2-3 free weeks next month stuck visiting family and that makes me want to have a big programming project), it's going to cost me at least like 20 cents during a Steam sale. Bummer.

 

[Turfster]

Huh, possibly the market is uncoupled from the "new" user.
He can, apparently.
Still weird that some bundle keys that weren't added with the OAuth system that are "retail" don't count as "buying something"

 

[Ozium]

I think you need to have given money to valve directly in order to use their marketplace as a means of verification. So $5.. and then you can use the market a week or so later

 

[Jawmuncher]

On Dusk Golems stream I just realized some of the bundle games regardless of quality can still manage some cool trailers.

I may have 1 or 2 extra accounts that have the new user restriction lifted (I think). I could donate one to the cause.

Out of all the game giveaways, I am most determined to win Bad Rats. It's GoTY from what I hear.
