so I have to change my Steam Email Address, does that limit my ability to trade for a few days?

It's a great game, but it ultimately gets very repetitive very fast. You are repeating the exact same cycle over and over, essentially. I did (again) put some considerable time into my retail copy this spring though. The strangest aspect is that you have to fight Baron Raymondo dozens of times, same goes for the archvillain. It doesn't even make sense.

Finally got some spare time for GAF time! For some reason I was expecting some things in this Sale such Community Votes and flash sales. Oh well, I hope all that happens in the Autumn sale.
I also got a nice price for a Monitor, finally. It pays to support your local business since he talked directly to the retailer to get some neat price on that and more, good news soon to be able to play games at least on proper/Okay-ish settings...
Which brand/model monitor?

So, has anyone tried Demonicon: The Dark Eye that was recently released. Seems like a pretty decent Euro-jank RPG judging by the trailer. $40 is way too much however.

Congrats The_Monk!
You should get a prompt indicating the dates (...maybe also filesizes?) of the two differing saves, and be asked which one you want to keep.
I say "should" because I've never knowingly played in offline mode, so I can't be sure. But I have gotten this prompt for several of my Steam Cloud saves in the past.

Well they're not that effective now, I've watched dozens of matches and I hardly ever see the Gems do a big role in the gameplay. Even if they did they'd be rare occurances.

Got about 45 minutes into Origins last night. So far, so good. I can tell this game is going to be a counter-fest though. Good god, the first 'fight' I had 3 guys with the counter symbol right off the bat. They do seem more aggressive than previous games.
the price is way too much no matter what the devs think. They have to adapt to the current market. What will happen is that the game will not sell and then they will discount it heavily after.
I am glad we don't have to use the counter moves though. I never could fully get into Assassin's Creed because anything else was just a waste of time.

Reposting because I really want to continue playing The Swapper:
But the whole idea of having them in a fighting game is ridiculous.
I've played a bit of the game. Steam says I've about two hours into it but I've restarted a couple of times since I wanted to start things off a little differently as I gained a stronger grasp of how the character upgrade system works. It's not much, but I recently posted a very quick summary:
With regard to the combat, in addition to melee weapons, ranged weapons and spells, you can also parry and roll/dodge. The latter isn't as quick as I'd like it to be and consequently feels more like window dressing rather than a mechanic you're encouraged to employ.
Virtually nothing has unfolded from a narrative perspective as I'm still in the first dungeon.

I doubt it's possible not to love Sid's Pirates. I had bought it many times already, you, Mengy, almost convinced me to buy again on steam. Bad Mengy, bad!
Tenrius, your avatar is killing me, it reminds me something and I can't remember what. What is it?
nah, it's all good, gonna buy it again

Uplay (Ubisoft) has Final Fantasy VII for $3.
Steam key confirmed. I just finished this a few days ago after 65 epic hours.
Am I too late or is it some bs regional sale ?

Not entirely Steam related, but I've just rebought AC4 (Uplay version) after the whole steam region lock thing, so expect the region lock to be dropped tomorrow luckily, someone's said they want to buy my Steam copy so not ending up out of pocket.

I don't know how I feel about this...
New day, so a new post about my giveaways! (and no, they are not copies of Bad Rats!)
I have Another Spooky Halloween Game and I have Crossdressing Halloween! still running. They'll both end today (one ends in the afternoon, the other one ends tonight)

Annnnnnndddddd I'm out.
Probably wasn't going to get ACIV until it was really cheap (not even touched III) yet, but if they pull the same shit with Watchdogs, I'll cancel my pre-order.

Wow, that's pretty sneaky. I don't think the PC version will be affected, as they all have to run though Uplay anyway, but a I said, sneaky.
Thanks for these, I have entered so keeping my fingers crossed!
Thanks, I enter for both.
Need to grab the complete number of the model for you, remind if I don't answer later on, but it's an Asus.
Thank you kind Panda! Can't wait to proceed on my Backlog but this time not in window mode, low-low resolution, etc. Still going to be something humble but I don't need nothing extreme.
Also, that AC IV news regarding the content from Single Player it's a shame but that does not surprise me. As always, vote with the wallet.

You cant buy a used copy of AC4 on pc

wishes it were bannable to say mean things about Marvel
I only ever played the C64 version. Hell I still have the box and maps that came with it, lol! Those good old Microprose boxes and manuals...
Buy it Arthea, it's only $2.49. Less than the cost of a tank of gas. Less than a meal at Five Guys. Less than a cheap $3 DVD out of the Wal Mart clearance bin....
I know that, but I'm not giving money to UbiSoft for any version of the game if they pull this shit constantly. You know what they're like, "oh people are accepting this, TIME FOR ALWAYS-ONLINE DRM NOW WE'VE SOFTENED YOU BACK UP, SUCKERS".
After all the crap they've pulled in the past, I only need a slight excuse not to buy an UbiSoft game, no matter how good it looks.
Any opinions on Miasmata?
It's bad enough they are taking a sizeable amount of content out of single player without a code, but when it comes to PC it's not being able to access it while not online that ensures I won't buy the game. I'm not a huge fan of the franchise anyroad, but I was on the fence until this.
I simply can't personally support such decisions. Oh well, perhaps a re-release like Diablo 3 got on home console.

wow this is bad. I refuse to buy any more season / online passes after being burnt the last two times.
Season and Online Passes are different things. Season Passes offer a bunch of DLC at a slightly discounted price whereas Online Passes are only of concern to you as a consumer if you've purchased a game second-hand -- you need to buy one to access online content. I honestly can't think of a publisher other than Ubi that still makes use of OPs.
It's too bad that the game is a mess even after the resolution fix.
At least that means that it'll probably get down to that price again, for all regions sometime in the future. I can wait for that price.

ah, you are right. Still silly, you can't exactly buy a game on steam second hand...
I was afraid of that. Can you elaborate?
I think that's first time FF7 was discounted that much, so I'm not sure it'll be repeated.

Second hand implies degradation of the product in most cases. How is your used digital copy of a game any less desireable than a new one?
Every publisher preemptively killed the Online Pass program once they all knew that both consoles would have much better anti-used game protection in place. Then Microsoft announced it and everybody bitched. Then Sony did the smart thing and didn't announce their anti-used copy policies. Now both online services are shambles most likely because of it. And all the publishers were left hanging.
Except Ubisoft.

From the looks of that article, it doesn't need to be online, the online passes on console will usually download a small file to activates whatevers been locked out.
As someone who really likes a warm cup of coffee this is sad news.

Ubisoft: Preparing for the Future.
Uplay's current system on PC is getting pretty close to always-online.
Both you and their servers need to be online in order to launch the game you paid for.
People complain all the time in here that UniSoft's servers are down and they cannot launch their game.
I'm just glad I'm not a fan of Ubisofts output, they really fuck consumers over.

Well. Damn. I thought Ubi had realised the mistakes of always online?!
It definitely looks like a very unique game with an interesting concept. I have been watching that game for a while now.
The developers did abandon the game, though. There are a few non-critical bugs and broken achievements.
