He was on a poster and in a hidden Arkham City Story in, well, Arkham City.
Soooo... that's something.

Oh I know about his references and his Story. I'm just hoping he actually makes a physical appearance sometime.

Also, I want Rocksteady (if they do the next-gen sequel) to put in a reference to Condiment King from The Animated Series haha. He was a great joke villain. "Come Batman, let's see if you can cut the mustard!"

If you want Diablo x castlevania, this is a solid, good looking game, not necessarly original but very worthy at least until now

Payday 2 has a demo but I don't know what's in it. I still prefer P1, don't like the upgrade system, don't like the heists (too short, they feel small), I actually don't like that everything can be done by stealth and the online community of P1 was much friendlier imo. Others (I would say the majority) think the exact opposite so P2 could be perfect for you.

Been playing it for the last couple of days and I agree. It's fun, it looks good and the dialogue is nicely funny.

Tower of Guns is the game currently on Indie Game Stand. It's already been greenlighted and you'll get a steam key is you pay $1. Looks like fun. Kudos to IGS for getting some good looking games in recent weeks instead of the crud they had there for a few months earlier this year.

I just finished my PayPal transaction and then nothing happened? I didn't sign up for an account but I filled in my name and e-mail on the purchase page. Been a few minutes and I haven't received an e-mail or anything yet.

Hmm, stange. Wait for a few. Maybe sign up for an IGS account with the email you used to pay? I'm sure the first time I bought something off IGS I didn't register an account with them but I eventually did later on and the old game appears on my account page.

After buying Company of Heroes 2 with the 40% voucher (it stacks) I got a new one in my inventory. Any takers?

I used it to buy the game and it generated another one! So, who wants it? It's a 40% coupon stackable with the current 33% off deal. That makes it $24 in the US or 361 roubles ($11) in Russia. If somebody's up for it, I can actually help you get the game for the latter price (although I'm not fully sure it's not region-locked, would somebody with crazy steamdb skills please confirm this).

Yes, but it doesn't have an "onlyallowrunincountries" line like Payday 2 does, for example.

Compare: Payday 2 RU+CIS (which is know to be regionlocked) and Company of Heroes 2 RU. It feels like it's not region locked, but then again, I'm not sure what "AllowPurchaseFromRestrictedCountries" actually implies.
Click to expand...

I was looking at the Retail sub, so I thought it was region restricted. It has different sub than the one that's directly bought in the Steam Store

Are you by chance using Outlook to check your email? It didn't show up for me there, but I checked the website of my email provider, and it was in the Junk folder there.

Guys, can you help me out?
After I played through FEAR and Riddick, I've decided to drown myself in RPGs (mostly old one, with the isometric view), and I need a few recommendations.

My list as of now is:

Planescape: Torment
Icewind Dale 1 and 2
Neverwinter Nights 1 and 2
Baldur's Gate 1 and 2
(I already own Fallout 1, 2 and Tactics)

What would you add? Basically, go on GOG.com and tell me what to buy in the RPGs section. :lol

Download this for maximum joy.

It's the good parts of Unleashed. And it's gorgeous. Generations is one of the first games I played to test out my rig after I threw it together. In my opinion, it's one of the most impressive looking games out there once you downsample it to get rid of every last jaggy.

I just created a Steam account and I'm all new to this but I'm surprised there aren't that many games on it.

I already added 10 games to my wish list and all of them runs on Linux. Does this mean, that if I buy these games, they'll run on the Steam Machine next year?

And do you have recommendations for any great computer-exclusive games on Steam?

I also don't have any friends... =(

I usually watch my friends play the non-racing Sonic games and I won't ever buy them for a variety of reasons. Mostly because they would be less fun to watch my friends to play if i did.

And do you have recommendations for any great computer-exclusive games on Steam? Depends on what you're looking for, what genres do you like? How old do you want to go?

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.

Welcome! The Steam website can be a bit tedious to navigate, but there are over 2,000 games available on Steam.

For games that work with Linux, they'll be able to run on the Steam Machines when they're released. With Steam, you buy the game once and can run it on any platform the game supports (without having to re-buy a different version).

You have it pretty well covered with that list. You can chuck out NWN if you want to save some money or add ultima 6 and 7 if you want the two best games of all time.

That is a new one, but welcome! Make sure to grab yourself the enhanced steam plugin, find some games you want and post your profile link if you want some friends and an invite to the steam group.

Just post your Steam ID and I (and others, undoubtedly) will add you!

There's quite a lot of great PC games out there and it's kinda hard to narrow it down, but my prime suggestion would be Civilization V — it's a game that is very much "PC-style", extremely easy to get into and extremely hard to put down.

You need to add Arcanum to that list, it's not perfect but I think it's a great game.

I would like games that oozes atmosphere, maybe exploration, horror or mystique. I already added the Amnesia games to my wish list.

My URL is:
http://steamcommunity.com/id/dimaya8/

And woah, the games being playable on all OS's is nice. As I have all of Mac OS, Windows 7 and Linux next year.

What is the Steam plugin? I installed the app for Mac OS X which I were navigating.
OH! I'm using Safari so probably won't be able to use the Enhanced Steam. I'll install it on my other computers though.

Right now I'm sad, that there's no FFXIV: A Realm Reborn and I also just discovered the 50% off on Rayman Legends but it's Windows only. Are there any talks of the games adding Linux support when the Steam Machines hits? Because currently, a Steam Machine doesn't seem to be worth it with the amount of Linux games available. Will this change?

Also, is there a way I can see the prices in my currency instead of euros?

Click to expand...

This goes without saying, but PurchaseRestrictedCountries is intended to block certain countries from purchasing, like with Space Quest and AU/NZ because Acti sucks:

AllowPurchaseFromRestrictedCountries No
PurchaseRestrictedCountries AU NZ
Click to expand...

Similarly, with region-specific subs, using "Yes" instead of "No" restricts the sub availability to the mentioned territories (they'd otherwise show up in the stores of other regions). For example, clicking this link will work while this one will just redirect you back to the main page.

Of course. To what extent? We don't really know yet. If devs start moving over in significant numbers I could see Microsoft making a strong competitive response and mixing up the game further.

But for now don't worry about it too much, just get the games you want and if it happens, it happens. Also be aware that we are expecting a sale around thanksgiving in the US. So you might want to save your wallet for a week or so, then you'll probably see how dangerous this whole steam thing is.

Speaking of which getgames have a Bioshock sale on http://getgamesgo.com/category/bioshock-sale. $13.50 Infinite and others.

To start you off: Gone Home, the Half-Life 2 series, the Stalker series (shadow or call), the Metro series, and DEFCON.
