Oh god GTA1

- Has this weird banding when driving
- Colour scheme will scew up your eyes
- Very bad zooming with FOV with the colour scheme (vomits)
- Hit your car more than 5 times? KABOOM!
- Default text setting is so fast you can barely finish the first sentence of a paragraph before it goes away.
- Title screens looks like it was made with Word97 and Paint.
- This game is making me sick. I think it's the fullscreen 4:3 that's doing it.

Congrats GTA1 you're the 2nd game to give me nausea sickness since Sonic 3D.

 

[Tomodachi]

Extremely off topic but I figure someone might be interested: Crysis 3 is on sale for 9,99€ on Origin in Europe.

For the first time in my life I find myself weirdly compelled to buy something on Origin. I blame dat Origin Humble Bundle. Also Crysis 3 not being on Steam does not help.

 

[Grief.exe]

I remember playing GTA 1 way back in the day at my friends house. Freaking awesome. Sounds horrible now though.

I bought the game and my parents found the box. I got yelled at for a month.
The back of the box advertises killing hookers, selling drugs, and so forth

I imagine it will show up on Steam once all of the DLC has been released.

 

[Purkake4]

The free Showdown Effect week(end?) is pretty cool. The game feels a bit floaty but weapons and stuff feels good. Reminds me a bit of Soldat from back in the day.

 

[Vanguardofyourdestruction]

Apologise if it's already been posted but Amazon are selling Bioshock 1, 2 and Infinite for $19.99. Link

I never liked this game, nor the sequel. A friend once lent it to me when I was 10 or so, and I thought the controls were terrible and the game itself kinda boring. Then I downloaded the sequel for free from Rockstar's site and thought the same of it. I can only imagine how they must feel nowadays, and it's something I wouldn't like to experience.

Luckily my parent's weren't strict in that regard. Hell, my dad even downloaded the Duke Nukem 3D demo when I was 6.

yo jshackles enhanced steam didnt show me that i already owned jolly roger and the special edition of monkey island

i almost bought them again!

And yes I tried refreshing.

10€ is probably my tipping point in this case but it wouldn't suprise me if you'll be able to get it for less from amazon.com during Christmas. Oh, NfS Most Wanted is 7,49€ here btw. While that game has huge problems (better search for threads with impressions before buying) that's an acceptable price as well.

 

[ussjtrunks]

Did steam cancel the street fighter x tekken sale its been full price since 30mins after it went on sale >.<

Weird. If you click on the individual game does it say "You already own Jolly Rover" like normal?

Also - they're going to be doing some server maintenance in about 9 minutes. So if you're in a game be sure to save and exit to be on the safe side.

GTA2 holds up a lot better than the first one, especially when you get into the second city and you start having to do weird missions for rednecks.

Nope. Didn't show up green on the sale page, or on the individual game page.

Anything I can send you from my end to help you fix it?

According to the forum there they had a pricing error, was 88% off for a few minutes. Someone pulled the plug and then went home.

GTA2 was indeed a huuuge step forward, loved that game and I wish some stuff would return like the gang system where they liked/diskliked you depending on the missions taken.

If it doesn't give you the normal green bar on the game page, Valve doesn't have a record that you actually own that game and there isn't anything Enhanced Steam can do.

If you do, in fact, own the games and aren't getting the green bar with the "Play Now" button, you might open a ticket with Steam support to find out why those AppIDs aren't tied to your account.

It wouldn't be the first time I've seen this happen, but it's pretty rare. If you open Steam, are those games on your games list? Can you play them? Did you get them from SteamGifts or someone shady that might have gifted it from a different region?

Earlier today, no game in Steam was showing up as owned, through enhanced steam, to me. I figured they were having some server issues with the sales coming up and everybody refreshing at the same time.

A couple minutes later, everything went back to normal.

That's how I found out about it. I went in my library and searched for Jolly because I was pretty sure I got Jolly Rover in some shitty bundle. It's sitting there uninstalled, and I'm pretty sure I can play it whenever I want. Same with the Monkey Island 1 and 2 special editions. It might not be enhanced steam's fault, but it doesn't look like the AppIDs aren't not (fun double negatives!) tied to my account.

Maybe their IDs changed? Does that happen?

No region silliness that I'm aware of.

So after playing with my client a bit, it doesn't show that I own Jolly Rover on the store page there either but if I hit Buy, it says I already own it there.

I'm just going to chalk it up to a strange steam hiccup.

 

[-tetsuo-]

Is Steam broken right now?

 

[jshackles]

I'm just going to chalk it up to a strange steam hiccup.

Yeah that's way strange. I checked on SteamDB and Jolly Rover only has a single AppID.

I'd be interested in seeing what output you get when clicking on

http://store.steampowered.com/api/appuserdetails/?appids=58200

If you'd like you can PM me what it outputs and I can look to tell you for sure if Steam thinks you own it.

Thank you for Virus Named Tom, really wanted that one (without paying for it..) but missed all the giveaways. What a lucky coincidence.

I just blindly bought Sid Meier's Pirates!

Please tell me it runs OK on newer hardware...

So is anyone else somewhat excited for state of decay tomorrow? I think it might actually pull me away from GTA for a bit depending on how well it works.

Took FEZ. Thanks!!

 

[JaseC]

I got the same vibe, it looks like North West America. The Astronauts are actually located in Poland.

And here I was thinking they were located on the ISS.

Slightly off-topic but does JaseC know about this?

I do! I'm keeping my expectations low after the Scarlet Witch (Avengers 2) rumours fell short. (There were rumours that she actually passed on the role, which this rumour would explain, but I don't believe that.)

Sure, don't cast the pretty girl with big boobs rumored before that (forgot her name, red head), cast skinny ugly bitch instead!

JaseC is way ahead of you.

I'm surprised he didn't make that appreciation thread first,

Haha, I was tempted to, several times, but figured I'd leave it to someone else since I was worried that I'd just be talking to myself.

I fucked up, i put the code for FTL instead of FEZ. I already have the game.

Ok someone sell me on the X bundle. You guys were excited for weeks but I have no clue what these games are and why I should be excited (or if I should be). I couldn't seem to find any good videos on it either.

I'm excited for other people to buy it and confirm it isn't too janky. If it's alright, I'll be buying it.

 

[RS4-]

I was really excited about SoD, then I played it on 360 and was ehhh. Wasn't really a fan of how everything was put together.

 

[koolaroo]

The only one I've play is SPAZ which I had no real opinion on it as the tutorial bored me so I stopped.

The correct question would be: do you like economics-oriented space sims with very open-ended gameplay (as in, the game does not entertain you, you have to come up with entertaining ways to play it) and gigantic playable galaxies which have some sort a life of their own?

 

[NaM]

It seems that I missed all Fez giveaways >:|

 

[MMBosstones86]

Ugh Origin are selling Dragon Age Ultimate Edition for $14.99. Have been wanting to get it for a while mainly because I wanted to try out Awakening. But I also want to have the game on Steam.

Decisions, decisions. Might have to hold the line till Steam put it on special.

Next steam sale will probably have it at $7.50

edit : crazy late.
