Mirror's Edge and Mark of the Ninja are still up for grabs, apparently. Could be a Modbot issue, though.

Thx for Mark of the Ninja Steambro.

 

[phantomspiker]

Isn't the abrupt ending the result of the game being originally developed a full price title? I thought the Ubi team wanted to do more downloadable sequels of the title but due to it bombing critically and financially they scrapped it.

I like what I've played so far, it has it's issues but its unique. Just my controller is acting up with it during the trigger prompts.

It definitely went through development hell, but I'm not sure of the exact details. I really enjoyed the game though.

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

Is or has anyone had issues updating Counter-Strike Global Offensive? My friend has been unable to play since the 11/06/13 update.

He's tried verifying cache, deleting clientregistry.blob, un and reinstalling CSGO, and deleting his appcache file. Nothing will work for him. Thoughts, tips, etc GAF?

 

[Tellaerin]

Seriously nobody took this? Translate says Queen ♡ The Moe Moe so I guess it's Long Life the Queen.

If you scroll up a bit to the original post, it looks like Turfster won it. : ) (Grats, Turfster!)

Woah!
I'm not a Blizz-customer anymore (I picked social life over WoW Burning Crusade), so I don't really know what they are up to these days, but some kind of Blizzard extension over Steam OS could potentially bring Valve the best killer app ever, even if not on Steam at all.

 

[Overdoziz]

Arkham City is so booooring.

 

[Grief.exe]

Earlier in the year, Blizzard said they are releasing a game on Linux soon.

Probably Hearthstone.

 

[Dambrosi]

Come on, guys, buy more Be Mine X bundles! Only 290 bundles to go before I can add King's Bounty: Warriors Of The North to my backlog, and complete my King's Bounty collection! Come on, we can do it!

 

[Clawww]

Arkham City is so booooring.

Personally, I couldn't bring myself to finish. Asylum was fun but City didn't evolve the core gameplay enough to hold my interest, although the concept of expanding into a bigger open world was cool.

 

[derExperte]

Come on, guys, buy more Be Mine X bundles! Only 293 bundles to go before I can add the last King's Bounty game to my backlog! Come on, we can do it!

I'm missing that one too. This bundle has turned out to be a damn good deal.

 

[Atraveller]

Arkham City is so booooring.

Blasphemy!

 

[gabbo]

People complaining about the WB Bundle? it's already solid as it is, anything on top is just the icing on the cake.

F.E.A.R.itself would have been acceptable.

This is the reason I haven't bought it yet, no FEAR1

 

[Turfster]

Be Mine Bundles usually are.

yeah that's the most likely thing would happen, I don't see them joining Steam store anytime soon.

The worst thing that could happen is that each different publishers adopts a different linux distro to run on a Steambox.

Origin - Redhat
UPLAY - Gentoo
GFWL - SUSE
GOG - Slackware
Blizzard - Fedora

 

[Dambrosi]

Groupees bundles are usually winners. In my honest opinion, they've begun to challenge the Humble Bundles for quality of games presented (though, obviously, not this week).

I also rate Bundle Stars' last two deals (especially their current one) as a mix of old, newish and F2P boosters. But Indie Royale and Gala have really fallen off. They used to be cool.

GFWL - SUSE

Well, at least we won't have to worry about that after next year.

 

[JakeD]

i got excited, i thought guardians of middle-earth was battle for middle-earth, then i remembered and got sad.

it's not even on Origin

Verify Game Cache Files？

 

[drizzle]

OMG YES, finished FTL with the Stealth Ship on Normal.

I *think* I got two of the Stealth Ship achievements. Going to the credits now.

Oh goddammit that was such a lucky run. I got all the items that I needed, but I ALMOST fucked up: I lost 3 crew members because I disabled the O2 generator by accident and got attacked at the same time. The 3 human crew members from the beginning of the game died (Setting me all my veteran status to 0), but I had enough Engis and one Slug to make up for it.

God this game is amazing.

Edit: Nope, only 1 ship achievement and no new ship, but goddamn stupid cloak ship. I need shields to survive in this game.

 

[Barzul]

Can anyone explain the point of Steam trading cards, I keep selling the ones I get, but is there any point to having them besides just for collecting sake?

Done that, deleted appcache, etc.. hasn't worked.

 

[Kifimbo]

Oh, and by my count, around 280 games were launched on Steam since I started this near the end of July. Madness.

 

[Rickenslacker]

Can anyone explain the point of Steam trading cards, I keep selling the ones I get, but is there any point to having them besides just for collecting sake?

When you get a full set of cards for any particular game you can craft them into a badge, which gives you one emoticon and background from the game you crafted from, as well as a random coupon. You can level up a regular badge up to level 5, or you can get rare foil drops and accrue a full foil set to craft a foil badge that only goes up to level 1. There's no benefit to this other than the badge icons on your profile and your profile leveling up, which gives you an increased friends list for every level and another showcase to add to your profile for every 10.

 

[Turfster]

And it increases the chance of booster drops, which gets you more money!

Blasphemy!

I played through Asylum which I completed eventually, but an hour into City and I'm already tired of the combat.

 

[Tellaerin]

Yep! I've played a couple of hours of it already too

What's it like so far? Let's have some impressions! (Don't keep us in suspense here!)

 

[Turfster]

In your scrolling up, you might have encountered my impressions
Basically, it boils down to fun (if incredibly grimdark) game, but only one "story" kind of lets it down.

 

[Atraveller]

I played through Asylum which I completed eventually, but an hour into City and I'm already tired of the combat.

The combat is definitely not Batman:AC's problem, it's more diverse and flesh out than the first game. It's basically the same but with more combinations.

 

[Tampinha]

Arkham City is so booooring.

The problem with City is the hub, it's so unnecessary.

 

[MechaGodzilla]

So I have cs-go but I never bought it. Has this happened to anyone else? I have no idea where it came from.

 

[FOX_]

Perhaps from a free weekend?

 

[MechaGodzilla]

Perhaps from a free weekend?

I can still play it and I'm pretty sure I never played a free weekend. I recently just bought a new PC after being on hiatus from steam for about 5 years.

Also, I checked my account purchase history and it's not there but when I look at the page it says I own it.

 

[I H8 Memes]

Come on, guys, buy more Be Mine X bundles! Only 290 bundles to go before I can add King's Bounty: Warriors Of The North to my backlog, and complete my King's Bounty collection! Come on, we can do it!

Do you have to buy the $5 Be Mine bundle to be eligible for Warriors of the North?

The problem with City is the hub, it's so unnecessary.

The problem for me was that there weren't enough building you could enter. Kind of important in an open world game or else the game just feels like a lifeless facade of a city. Everything feels like a prop.

 

[Turfster]

Usually the bonus games get added to the lowest tier. (see the other bonus games)

 

[TouchMyBox]

We've all had that happen.

The answer is that we did indeed buy those games or had someone else buy them for us.

Jump into competitive matchmaking, btw. It's pretty great.

Well it's not in my purchase history and I played it I just don't want to get banned or anything.

There is a sub forum on reddit for CS:GO. Try there. There are even some Valve guys that post there so there should be a good chance at getting help there.

 

[TouchMyBox]

It sounds a bit outlandish that they would consider a ban if they made a mistake and added a game to your library.

I think you shouldn't worry.

 

[derExperte]

Crafted the Deadly Premonition badge because some items are pretty expensive. Got none of those. Was sad. Five minutes later I get a booster pack. For Deadly Premonition. Hm, Gaben is surely trolling me now. Also it's Saturday night, wtf am I doing?

Spoiler

Listening to the awesome Electronic Super Joy soundtrack, that's what.

 

[Widdly Scuds]

Just came back from the gym and noticed I won Arkham City.

Thanks Parsnip. <3

 

[sprinkles]

Arkham City is so booooring.

Finished it just hours ago after playing through Asylum last year around the same time. While I still enjoyed the combat the story felt a little disjointed and not as focused as in the first game. I did not particularly like having major story enemies being only around for 5 minute side missions.

 

[wetflame]

Thank you Parsnip for The Whispered World! Along with Cognition, which I was also lucky enough to win in a Modbot raffle, I'm looking forward to getting stuck into some new point and click adventures

 

[Tampinha]

The problem for me was that there weren't enough building you could enter. Kind of important in an open world game or else the game just feels like a lifeless facade of a city. Everything feels like a prop.

Not only that, but there wasn't a lot happening outside, most of the main and side quests happen inside buildings, and the guard chatter gets repetitive really quick.
