Has a good chamce of being a daily sale. don't expect more than 25-33%.

Good to hear, I wasn't even expected more then 10%. 25% would be nice.


Now if only MW3 has even a slim chance of going on sale sometime this year..

 

[Drkirby]

It won't be (unless Steam accidentally pulls a SSFIV).

It sort of is, it is going to be included in the Assassins Creed Bundle in the Black Friday Sale.

You can thank Capcom for that if you take a look on past sales and their products. :-/

 

[Joe Molotov]

Too bad it's not a "10% off for each AC game you already own on Steam" sale.

I doubt it, there wasn't a deal on Black Ops last year but MW2 was 50% off so I'd expect Black Ops to be up this year.

 

[arts&crafts]

NICE! was going to buy aquaria on the weekend during the supermeatboy sale but waited as I was playing skyrim still. Now i got it + 5 other games for the same price <3 humble

Yea I remember the ridiculousness. Let's put a game on sale, once, after a year, and after it's sequel.

 

[gdt]

I had no clue Steam is having a black friday sale.

my poor wallet.

 

[Dave Long]

The only good thing for me with the Steam sales now is I've bought almost everything I wanted in a previous sale so they're less tempting.

Skyrim during the Christmas sale will nail me, though. Probably Rage too...

 

[(._.)]

They had one last year iirc. I actually forgot about it since there wasn't much stuff worth getting last year.

 

[cooljeanius]

I'm afraid I don't know, but someone mentioned earlier on the page that Notch (Minecraft guy) was playing the game on a Macbook Air using Parallels. I don't know if that's free, and I'm guessing you don't have Bootcamp if you're asking, but I suppose it couldn't hurt to try assuming the Mac WINE version lets you install Steam.

Yeah, the Mac version of WINE actually comes with a pre-packaged version of Steam, it's just that not all games that are on Steam work with it. About the only games I've been able to play successfully through the WINE version of Steam for Mac have been GoldSrc engine games and Magnetis.

Is using a VPN to unlock AC an automatic ban on Steam? What if I actually travelled to the US and accessed my steam account from there? Couldn't that be an all right excuse?

I believe that using a VPN to buy games will probably mean a ban... But using a VPN just to unlock games shouldn't be a problem.

AC has a release date?

Daily Deal - Dream Chronicles®: The Chosen Child™ $5.10 (66% off)

Cool. I can never have enough adventure games.

Once you have unlocked a game you have to keep Steam offline (unless you are planning on using the VPN until the game is available in your region) otherwise Steam will lock the game, delete the game files and redownload them. It's still worth it in my opinion as your probably going to end up only playing that game until the official release in your region

I have a Humble Introversion Bundle Steam code to give away. I realised that I owned all of the games already too late, haha. <3 Steam. At least I get a couple of soundtracks!

First quote gets it.

I'd love it but I don't need Aquaria and Crayon Physics, since I own them.

Extra words are my folly!

Check your PMs! Enjoy

I have extra Steam keys for Aquaria and Crayon Physics Deluxe. Trading them for a copy of Skyrim or Batman: Arkaham City. I only have your best interests at heart. Don't pass up on this sweet deal.

Spoiler

Or you can just have them. Quote for a PM.

Cave Story+ is up. I think I'll pass on this one unless it gets a massive sale; I already have the Mac version and am probably going to get the 3DS version eventually.

 

[Dog Problems]

I was hoping that when Arkham City came out the "PC" at the end would be gone.

 

[xenoflux2113]

Haha I was hoping for the same thing. Speaking of the game do we know if we get double the cheevos: Steam and GFWL, or just Steam? I downloaded/installed it last night but didn't get to play it yet.

 

[masterkajo]

I recall someone saying that both achievements pop up at the same time. So I guess we get both - that is if you are signed in to GFWL - some say it is optional.

 

[Stallion Free]

They pop up in-sync.

 

[xenoflux2113]

Great so I get to pad my GFWL gamerscore at the same time. Thanks for the info guys!

There's a Cave Story+ now? I have been way out of the loop.

 

[Wichu]

There's a Cave Story+ now? I have been way out of the loop.

It's a port of the WiiWare release (with an added level?). It came out on the Mac App Store a while back, but it's only out on Steam now.

Also, I got a free copy thanks to the awesome guys at Nicalis doing a giveaway on Twitter. Now I have no excuse to play it. I'm still going to get the 3DS version eventually

What's the price for it coming out on 3DS? The old one on the 3DS shop is already $10.

 

[Stallion Free]

Let me warn you: it feels amazing.

 

[Wichu]

It's a full price 3DS game, i.e. £33 on Amazon UK/$40 on Amazon US.

The only way it could be better if Steam achivements had a notification sound. I want to be drowning in feel good effects.

Cool, I've been wanting to play this. Can anyone comment on the resolution support?

 

[xenoflux2113]

Double sound for the double pop-ups would be amazing and probably to much awesome for me to handle. Now I just have to wait until I get home from work to play.

Steam claims I've got no connection. Restarting it did nothing... any suggestions?

Community down?

same here. just wait it out. it shall pass.

 

[inky]

Thanks guys. I thought it was just me or related to Batman crashing a lot for the past hour.

 

[Discotheque]

If I play Skyrim with Steam/Cloud down will this affect my saves or anything?

 

[PaulLFC]

Is there a setting which controls which Library view Steam defaults to? I use List view, but for some reason lately, Steam defaults to Detail view every time I click Library. I'm sure it never used to do this, and I've no idea why it's started to do it now.

 

[Wichu]

Cool, I've been wanting to play this. Can anyone comment on the resolution support?

640x480 native resolution, and 1280x960 scaled (using nearest neighbour scaling, i.e. pixel perfect) or any resolution (including fullscreen) using the standard blurry resizing algorithm. It will letterbox if the window isn't 4:3, though.

EDIT: Screens:

Old graphics on the left, new graphics on the right.

 

[Nabs]

Hmmm. I'd like to see some screenshots at x1080 if anyone has 'em.
