Anyone knows where to register the FF14 code? I try to register it on the S-E site as my game, but I can only choose 2 options which dont fit the key criteria...
 
XCOM: EU (Firaxis' XCOM) has premade maps, yeah. With the expansion, Enemy Within, it's not a big deal. But in the base game it could be a bummer, with you seeing the same map a few times in a campaign.

If you played XCOM:EU a lot it would be even more of a bummer.


XCOM 2 will definitely feature procedurally generated maps. That and mods are the main reasons they went PC exclusive this time 'round.

The premade maps are a huge factor if you play the Long War mod. After a campaign you'll know each map very intimately.

I'm kinda posting this around, but what good 2-3 player games are around that fit the following criteria-

1. Local multiplayer (same or split screen or a-sync I don't care, but easy enough)
2. Fun with at least two, better if three?
3. You can play on steam link with the combination of one steam controller and 1-2 xbox 360 controllers

Just got a steam link and want to play more multiplayer. Even weird/indie ones would be great. Just want something to muck around with when my friends come round.
Assault Android Cactus, Monaco, Helldivers.
 

Thank you for reminding me that I should pick up Pixeljunk Shooters Ultimate.

I recommended games i played :D

You can go to http://store.steampowered.com/search and check Co-Op box. That will show you all Co-Op games (most of those are Online Co-Op). And sort by review or relevance. That is how i find some hidden gems on Steam :D

Yeah I'm probably going to do that. I just thought I'd ask if there was a curated list somewhere. It seemed like something someone would have made.
 
I don't know if this should be posted here, or a new thread should be made, but people should be on the lookout for dodgy cd keys from strangers:

Hey, recently someone gave me a copy of dmc devil may cry for free, and i thought it was a nice gesture. i redeemed it on my main. an hour or two ago i got an email from steam saying my password was changed then that my email was changed, i have just locked the account and i hope ic an get it back soon
How it was done:
-Scammer gives me cd key for game
-I redeem key and say thank you
-Scammer tells steam support he cant log into steam account account and give them the cd-key he gave me
-Scammer if lucky enough gains access to my account. changes password, and email and attempts to sell my items if i dot catch it right away
TL:DR Scammer gives me cd key, tells steam support its his provides cd key and steals my shit

Usually I read that subreddit for the cringey stuff they say, but sometimes some good info can come along.

Don't know if this is legit or not, just be safe people.

I thought that could only be done if you did not use steam guard. Either way, that's scary. My account is the most expensive thing I own (student, yay!).

I don't think that actually works? I mean I asked the support as much at one point after receiving a dodgey key and they told me it wouldn't.

Steam support is incredibly stupid. They can disable Steam Guard making it irrelevant.

I talked to JaseC and he offered a good counter-point:

"JaseC: Valve won't reset account logins without also knowing the account name and e-mail address tied to it as per https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=5421-QTFB-3090"

Of course this could be made moot if coaxed into giving them your info, or they figuring it out somehow, or and more importantly the support being as stupid as they are known to be.

I hope you are right for all our sakes.

A lot more difficult that only using a steam key. But I don't think steam support should have the ability of disabling steam guard. Only if you show your ID, should it be done.
I remember some years ago, when there were no sales, I had to show them my ID to reset the login credentials.
 
Yeah, I think this is enough for this sale.

Binary Domain
Undertale
Dominions 4

I thought about Aviary Attorney, but I won't even done with these games, let alone the games I bought in the last dozen sales until it gets on sale for cheaper, so the birds can wait.

Steam support can do as they please, with the right information given, or due to their incompetency. Don't get me wrong, not saying I don't believe you, or that you are wrong, just something to keep in the back of your mind - just in case. :)

It's never enough... ever.

Help me. JaseC has taken me hostage :'(

Call Steam support.
 
Day 4

One thing I think ALL steam users agree on is that the support is HORRENDOUS.

geeeez this sale is boring. Why would they even start a sale without dailies or any surprises at all?
 
In other news:

out of
1,160
games.

What is wrong with me?

Nothing terribly bad.

It looks like you get a big part of the enjoyment from games out of just having them. I am the same and I've learned that as long as you keep it within some bounds, it's fine. :-)
 
geeeez this sale is boring. Why would they even start a sale without dailies or any surprises at all?

"It's not a major change, but it does make the sale a lot more valuable for customers, and it allows us to build sale features that recommend your product all sale long, instead of just during its front page feature.

"For a brand new release, if you can't get approval for your best discount for the full length of the sale, that's OK and we can work on a plan for that game. But the vast majority of your catalog should be running its best discount for the duration of the sale." - Source: http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2...-daily-deals-during-steam-autumn-winter-sales

Because it's more "valuable" for us. Some people have gone even to call flash/daily deals manipulative.

Yeah, still feel bad knowing there are some great games not being played there. As long as you are being smart about your expenditures, what could go wrong? :D

I SWEAR I'LL PLAY THEM... one of these days... I promise! Seriously!

Once again.....the refund policy changed how this sales work, sometimes people were waiting for a game to get cheaper, days passed and the game didn't got cheaper, game was purchased, next day game is on the dailies, this happened to a lot if not all steam users, now imagine the refund request valve will get if dailies were still in place, so there you have it
