Need some help here guys.

two things :


1 I pre ordered Agarest war but as you can see there is no pre install button .

is this a problem or has the game simply no preinstall option ?


2 For a while now Half life source seems like it is trying to update but nothing happens at all . ( put it on pause for the shot)

What is going on ?

1) The latter

2) Try verifying the game's cache (right-click -> Properties -> Local files -> Verify integrity of game cache)

I understand that in order to be eligible for booster packs you have to "sign in" to Steam at least once a week. Does that mean that your pc has to be online and you have to have Steam open, or does it mean that you have to sign in to your Steam friends list?

I default offline for the friends list every time I open Steam, and it might be a week sometimes before I go online, but I want to be eligible for booster packs. I have never gotten one even though I have depleted plenty games of drops, that is why I started worrying about it.

How daft of me. Thanks.

That looks... cool, I might take a look at it. Was it on a bundle?

Yes, Nimbus was in the first Indie Royale bundle - THE LAUNCH BUNDLE.

The game can get pretty tricky in the last levels but it's very good.

1. Not all games have pre load, and the ones that have the pre load button appears a few days before the release.

2. HL3 ARG incoming. Sorry no idea.

 

[3phemeral]

Don't play on hard unless you like bullet sponges.

Seriously. 1999 Mode is simply "Cheap Mode".

Hah, thanks! I need to finish the other BioShocks first. This is another way-down-the-line backlog purchase

 

[PhaZZe]

Got all the Red Orchestra 2 Custom Images sorted. Game comes with 4 sub-games, 3 of those are un-labeled, and one of those has one of the worst labels since the Arkham City cover art.

How you do that, no space between images in grid view?

 

[Glass Rebel]

I hope that there's enough pervs supporting JRPGs by buying Agarest.

Bioshock 2 has a huge Steamworks update incoming, wait for that to drop.

I have no ETA as to when this will release though, right now the update is in a holding pattern for some reason.

Thanks for Tower Wars KenOD!

Thanks for the warning. I'll keep on the lookout and wait until then. Maybe I should start early to keep myself busy until the update rolls around before I get to 2.

Someone wrote up a good guide, I can't seem to find it though.

What?

He has a shitty laptop and runs most games at 480p, he posts his screenshots in these threads pretty consistently.

Here's a prize up for grabs:

What is the most underrated game on Steam that no one plays?
Could be gameplay/mechanics/story/visuals - but tell us why.
Winner chosen at 1800GMT (3+ hours from this post.)

Book of Unwritten Tales.
I know point and click adventure games aren't popular to begin with, but Book of Unwritten Tales is without a doubt one of my favorites in the entire genre. It doesn't strive to be unique, just highly refined and wonderful. I never had to resort to using a guide to solve the puzzles because most of them are solvable just by exploring through the choices available. The voice acting is really good. The story and the writing is full of fun parodies, references and jabs to many popular series like Lord of the Rings, Star Wars and Harry Potter. The characters are mostly likable. And the visuals, while not top class, are still really good for what it is.

Yeah I believe you need to be online on the friends list.
If anything just set your status to away if you will be gone a long time

Monster Loves You

From a visual standpoint, it utilizes hand drawn artwork.

Gameplay wise, it's a throw back to the old C64 era game ALTER-EGO where you make choices about the life you lead and it affects the story outcome. There are multiple endings so it'll take a while to unlock everything. Storywise it has a lot of styles -- aggressive, philosophical, etc. It's the kind of game that has something for all ages. Mature storytelling, but without being too much for younger audiences -- sort of like a Pixar film in a way. Some RPGish elements (in so far as deciding what type of monster you want to become -- aggressive, etc)

It comes with cards, and at the time prices were still good. I don't think it's been in a bundle yet so chances are prices may still be high.

Different endings:

Unzip those files into your Steam directory, with Steam closed.

 

[KenOD]

Has that defence ever worked? Didn't work for those playing certain PC Qix clones, it's not working for Hatsune Miku: Project Diva F players, I'm not sure it'll work here. The truth is a side issue of little importance.

 

[Cth]

Thanks to Turfster I went with groupees bundle, but now I have extra keys as I only wanted Fortix and surprisingly the music. So enjoy.

No idea about why the images aren't showing.

Weird, I entered for the Zombie game and it only shows one entrant which isnt me

I liked what i've played from War In The North. I'm no LoTR's fan, but the atmosphere in that game was great. Too bad about all those enemy waves, though.
It's pretty clear they want you to play in co-op, and i'm more of a SP guy.

I can relate with that fellow GAFfer, I actually played on the PS3 and there was only one time I decided to play a bit of Co-op Online. It ended up being quite fun, actually.

Like you said, I played mostly for the atmosphere that was indeed amazing.

I'd seen some comparison shots prior to playing the game so I'm not sure how I managed to miss the fact that the internal resolution hadn't changed, haha.

I can't seem to find a definitive answer to this. There are reports of people receiving boosters while offline, but that doesn't quite answer the question. Submit a ticket to Support if you want to be sure.

1 thanks

2 all files are verified but it still says download starting but nothing happens.

Ah, I thought if some files didn't verify that Steam would snap out of its trance. The files successfully passing the verification check implies that they're all up to date, so if the game's "download" stalling is bothering you, I'd just uninstall it for the time being.

I loved the game, I'm a sucker for that kind of hack and slash games, I really enjoyed the story, music and gameplay.

If you play the game be careful of a bug on the last boss of the game, if you quit the battle midway there's a bug and when you try to play again the boss won't spam, so you are basically stuck. Luckily I managed to fix it by downloading a previous savegame from PSN+ cloud storage.

Sadly, like a printed book, once you've seen every option, they get kinda samey when you try to go for different endings...
