I am pretty dead set on making an appreciation thread on Singleplayer Trading Card Games, especially the ones with overworld, a story and/or "quests" etc. Anyone have some to name?

Yu-Gi-Oh, Pokemon Trading Card Game, Magic the Gathering: Shandalar are probably the prime examples because of the popularity of the real cards. Then there is stuff like Baten Kaitos and Card Hunter. Others?

I've been playing Shelter on Android. It's on iOS as well. It's part card game and part castle defense. Quite a neat and fun game. Not sure it's a game you're looking for though. Sorry if not.

I like your idea for an appreciation thread on these types of games . Always enjoy them and find that there is not enough of them out there...

 

[Rickenslacker]

Is there anyway to fix Sacred 2's small text? I bought the Gold edition off Amazon for the summer sale but can't play it when the text is microscopic at 1080p.

I hate when games don't scale HUDs for higher resolutions. *stern glare at Human Revolution*

If it gets too bad I just suck it up and play at *shudder* 720p.

 

[Deques]

Did they ever do that thing where if you were stuck in an empty room waiting for an opponent then you'd be given a steam key to pass on to a friend?

Yup, I got a key. But right now you wont get a key since all rooms are filled right now.

Thanks, noted.

 

[Knurek]

Nice suggestions, I'll look into these. Seems like I have some research ahead of me. If you have more suggestion guys, keep them coming.

You have no idea, there are like 50 Yu-Gi-Oh games split into several portable consoles.

 

[Toma]

You have no idea, there are like 50 Yu-Gi-Oh games split into several portable consoles.

Oh I absolutely have an idea Thankfully I played a shit ton of them already, but most of them are just the same game with a minor addition and some more cards anyway. I'll put game series as one entry in the list. The research mostly refers to game mechanics, and I know the game mechanics of Yugioh well enough to compare it to other games.

Edit: And I am certainly not saying that I'll have this thread up anytime soon.

 

[NIN90]

Erm... I just got done going from Win7 32bit to 64bit and now I lost all my save files? Even with Steam Cloud games!
What the fuck? Am I missing something? Because I don't see no syncing option.

Did you transfer over your user directories? Games love putting savegames in \Users\<login>\AppData\Local and \Users\<login>\AppData\Roaming. Then there's the ones that put savegames in \Users\<login>\My Documents, or the ones that just pick a random directory...
Steam Cloud savegames should automatically download when you run the game if local copies are missing.

 

[Knurek]

Edit: And I am certainly not saying that I'll have this thread up anytime soon.

Remembered a few more:

SNK vs Capcom: Card Fighters (Neo Geo Pocket and Nintendo DS)
Fullmetal Alchemist: Trading Card Game (Nintendo DS)
Trade & Battle: Card Hero (Game Boy Color) and Kousoku Card Battle: Card Hero (Nintendo DS) - Japan only, notable by being first party Nintendo title
Monster Rancher Battle Card GB - Game Boy Color

No I didn't do that. I thought that's what Steam Cloud's job is.

Awesome, thanks. On my list now too. I will likely stop checking this thread all the time (I want the quote function back ), so if you remember anything else, I'd appreciate if you could send me a PM.

 

[Turfster]

Only for games that have Steam Cloud support.

 

[NIN90]

Yes I understand that but even games with Steam Cloud support lost my save files.

 

[Dec]

No I didn't do that. I thought that's what Steam Cloud's job is.

Steam Cloud games should work. I've gone to a different country, used a different PC and loaded my save no problem, not sure why it wouldn't work unless disabled.

The files in your documents folders have to be manually backed up of course.

There is also Battleforge. It's a hybrid MMORTS, but it has an extensive PvE campaign that can be played on your own.

I always wanted to try that game but never got around to it. Looks like it's shutting down next month.

I can't offer a solution, but my advice to anyone who reads this is to back up your saves with this to ever avoid this situation:

SP shutting down too?

SP shutting down too?

Not sure. News article on the official site.

Skylords,

Today we bring sad news to the world of Nyn as the rift between our worlds is coming to a close, and with this we come to the unfortunate retirement of BattleForge.

The decision to retire older games is never easy. We hope you’ve enjoyed playing BattleForge as much as we enjoyed making it and we wish to extend our sincerest thanks to all of our passionate and dedicated players for supporting BattleForge over the past 4 years. Those of you who still have a balance of in-game currency are encouraged to spend it before the game is shut down on October 31st and is no longer available for play.

 

[fantomena]

Sad to see that many next-gen games (Watch Dogs, ACIV, Killzone, Dead Rising 3, Forza 5 etc.) will still have either 1080p + 30 FPS or 720p + 30/60 FPS.

It's so freaking good to have gamer PC and enjoy 1080p + 60 FPS.

I guess my GTX 690 will be going strong in quite some time.

Yea it's hard to be a gamer of both console and pc. I try to go back on console and notice jaggies a lot more often now. In Halo reach the blue bar on the hud has noticeable jaggies ,i don't think i would notice that as much if i didn't game on PC.

To each his own, personally I can't wait for the PS4, no need to worry about drivers or anything, Killzone SF looks amazing for me but I am fine with 30 FPS but I can see why others may not be able to enjoy those kinds of framerates

Im getting both Xbone and PS4, but PC will be my main gaming plattform.

Yeah, because those are really hard to download and double click once every month (when we're lucky) when a new release comes out.

I never worry about drivers, i just download and play[probably set the setting and that's all]. I was going to get a ps4 but then they started to charge for online.

 

[Glass Rebel]

I only ever see console gamers use archaic terms such as "drivers"

 

[MRORANGE]

Listen to this man.

 

[Anustart]

Last person to the party, but Mirror's edge is kinda cool!

 

[Turfster]

Mirror's edge was pretty great. It would have been even better without the forced combat sections breaking my flow.

 

[Deques]

All console talk can be elsewhere.

 

[rtcn63]

The Game Boy Color killed the Neo Geo Pocket, I hope you all burn in hell.

Mirror's edge was pretty great. It would have been even better without the forced combat sections breaking my flow.

I stopped playing near the end due to all the swat guys. Became less about parkour and more about not being shot.

 

[Deleted member 10571]

Mirror's edge was pretty great. It would have been even better without the forced combat sections breaking my flow.

One of my favourite games of all time. Can't wait for ME2.

 

[Milamber]

What's the recommended control setup for Mirrors Edge? 360 or KB/M?

 

[Stumpokapow]

If you play the game properly you never fire a gun so precise aiming is not a factor.

 

[Turfster]

I stopped playing near the end due to all the swat guys. Became less about parkour and more about not being shot.

I did the entire game in never-touch-a-gun mode on my first playthrough.
I uh, wouldn't recommend doing this.

 

[Milamber]

I'm the type that plays GTA-likes with KB/M on foot and immediately use a controller for driving.

 

[Twinduct]

Man I would love some 'bundle' manager. So many of these bundles have Soundtracks or just packaged an installer. So having to manually download each one is driving me crazy (IDM doesn't work on Groupees & Humble).

 

[SapientWolf]

Everyone should give Gun Monkeys a try. The game is fun. PLAY IT NOW!

I am quite good

Yeah, the game is a blast. I really wish there were more people playing.

That manager is called Steam.

I might as well not have the games that don't redeem on Steam.

Hook me up with one of those "there's nobody on this server, so here's a key of the game so you can give it to a friend and play it with him oh please god save us" keys and I will most certainly

Spoiler

not

play it

Spoiler

since my backlog is huuge

Mouse look is really nice in ME.

Not really concerned about the games tbh. Just want the soundtracks and the albums given. Some awesome stuff has been hiding in those bundles.

 

[Stumpokapow]

For Humble Bundle, they have BitTorrent links for all the ancillary stuff. That's the best way to download the soundtracks.

 

[BiggNife]

Are you sure about that? Mine says I have 5 drops.

I am showing 5 drops on my page.

Maybe try contacting steam support to see if they can help.

Well, that's really friggin weird, because I definitely only got two drops:

Does steam support actually help with things like this? It's not really a big deal, but I do feel kind of gypped because I bought the game fair and square so I should have those other three drops.

Did you happen to get dupes of Cammy and Ken?

 

[Dice]

Are you only looking at that screen? Because that screen only shows how many different cards of the collection you have, it doesn't signify if you got multiples. Check your inventory.
