I wish Animal Crossing gave me steam cards cause i've been "idling" like crazy

Foil turnips would revolutionize the stalk market

Bohemia is having a week long 50% off sale on their store. A few Steam redeemable games on the list as well - https://store.bistudio.com/all-games/

Cheers, I bought Pound of Ground. Its 50% discount on Bohemia's own store is equivalent to a 65% discount on Steam.

 

[Grief.exe]

I litereally watched that whole Civ V video lol

So tired. Going to bed now. E3 coming up soon.

EDIT: Fuck it. Bought Civ V for $5 from GMG.

Wasn't feeling Just Cause 2 anyways, and need a game until Day Z comes out.

Thanks for adding me. Currently writing my final exam paper and refreshing this thread.

Is it any good? If only I liked Arma...

No idea, but for what it's worth, the one and only review GameRankings picked up was IGN's 3.5.

Both Bioshock 1 & 2 are horrible ports on the PC.

They are amazing compared to the console versions though. Bioshock on 360 and PS3 (I own both versions) looks and feels like shit, even with v-sync off and the aspect ratio fixed.

Both Bioshock 1 & 2 are horrible ports on the PC.

That said its best to experience it from the very beginning...with System Shock 2

True, but they're not that bad once you get them working. Fixing the sound on Bioshock was a frustrating mess on Win7

What are you doing man! I'll admit Civ V is finally coming up to snuff buy IV, and more importantly BtS have been the best experience for ages. Plus Leonard Nimoy, that is all that needs to be said.

Spoiler

V's worth it at that price but I didn't like that changes and omissions and masses of dlc that used to be provided by mods. Though some of them are being slowly added back in.

Now if only Bioshock 1 and 2 and Infinite were good games, when compared to what they're trying to succeed, the venerable System Shock 2.

Were they actually trying to succeed SS2? Or was the goal when creating those games to make a follow up to the ideas of SS2 more accessible to the mass market?

 

[Deques]

This guide helped a lot, it wasn't really frustrating

 

[Gvaz]

Well if their goal was to make SS2 more accessible to the mass market, they sure did a good drop of dropping it into the shit and rolling it around a bit.

Easy buy, this, I'm playing it at the moment and having fun with everything other than drift events.

Looks lovely, constant 60fps on my measly Radeon 6770, doesn't use GFWL like Dirt 2.

I put in maybe 30 hours of Civ V without really understanding it. I mean, like, those icons on the city maps, for food and gold and production, I just figured more was better but didn't know what they actually, you know, did. This video really cleared a lot of stuff up for me and now I finally feel I know what I'm doing in the game.

Sounds good to me, I'll check it asap, and from the replies in this thread, sounds like it's a solid video. I've watched a few Civ V tutorial vids before, but certainly won't hurt to watch another, thanks for this! I'm especially excited for BNW because of the focus on improving the non-combat game/late game. I love all sorts of victories other than domination, but there comes a point where I'm just 'next turn'ing a lot.

EDIT: On another note, I don't have enough Steam Gaf friends. Feel free to add me guys: pock3tmonster.

I don't have enough Steam GAF friends either. I'll add you

I'll go ahead and add you both, I know when I started to use Steam more and more and back to primarily pc gaming it certainly helped to have a large friends list.

Seriously re: Brave New World. Doing a cultural victory currently is just, well... While waiting for culture points to accrue, I got Maria Theresa to finally shut up by essentially stealth bombing every one of her cities to rubble then dropping two nukes on her capital, just to pass the time.

Oh, and in other news:

We at Frozenbyte are aware of this and want to tell you that this wasn't planned. So it's an unfortunate mistake and we are trying to get it fixed! We are sorry for all the disappointment this has caused!

Link. Maybe they'll get the Trine 2 Complete Story Upgrade price-fixed in the next 4 hours.

 

[Blablurn]

I played through them both on the Xbox. I have yet to install and play the PC versions. That doesn't muster much faith though. I want System Shock 2 myself, but I'll wait out the Steam sale.

[KarmaCow]

Rochard is a pretty neat game but the amount of combat in the game is a bummer. I was enjoying the puzzle platforming and then it had a straight up survive until the elevator comes moment.

I guess it's good that it was just a mistake and not dickery but I don't see it getting fixed before the daily changes over.

Combat terrifies me because I don't like pissing anyone off, and I know I always have a dreadfully pathetic army so I would easily be wiped out in such a case. lol

You don't exist It's something I wish Steam made more clearly, but I assume you shared your account name, not your profile name

Dude, no, lol. Visible Steam names are not unique, so when you pick a generic name like that, there is no way anyone is going to be to do a search for and find you. There are at least two dozen "Aeschylus".

Post a link to your actual Steam community profile.

 

[JaseC]

Prior to the most recent Steam Community overhaul you could search for friends via account name and e-mail address, in addition to profile name. Perhaps Valve ditched the two over security concerns.

I idled in Really Big Sky and Faerie Solitaire and got enough cash from the cards to buy some missing Civ 5 DLC.

I'm ok with this.

For cards? Hell, you can just idle on the menu.

Verdun WW1 Shooter on greenlight looks interesting. I've always wanted to play a WW1 shooter, but I imagined the quality of the weapons and nature of the battles made it a 'bad' war for games.

I have Steam set to automatically start when Windows starts, but unfortunately for some reason in the last week or so it suddenly began to start only in Offline Mode even though I have my login information saved properly.

Anyone else have this problem creep up on them?

Necrovision is based in WW1. It is filled with ghosts and monsters though.
