Support NeoGAF

[WhiskeyDiver]

Uplay is like the MRSA version of Gonorrhea. It's pretty much impossible to get rid of when you got games on its service that one plays.

http://store.steampowered.com/app/111100 And somehow I ended up getting this game. I don't remember how or why. I must have had a bit too much of the sauce and saw a really bad impulse purchase.

 

[Card Boy]

So anyone tried the Bruce Wayne Arkham Origins DLC?

 

[arts&crafts]

Thanks Spindoctor for orcs must die! 2

 

[Arthea]

Looking at Indie Gala: Is there even a little of fun to be had with Clive Barker's Jericho?

one does not simply buy Jericho for fun

Spoiler

it doesn't sound as good as "one does not simply walk into Mordor", but i tried

 

[JaseC]

Hm, is the first Tomb Raider considered playable nowadays? With a 360 controller?

I'm thinking about trying it since it's dirt cheap.

It lacks native controller support of course, but you can get around that with the likes of Joy2Key.

 

[Sullichin]

Can I buy DLC for a game as a gift the same way I would a game?

Looks like it was part of a bundle or two, but I also want to say they were giving away free copies of it at some point.

Cool beans, I'll give it a go then.

they were giving it away on some site a few weeks ago. you probably didnt pay money for it

Absolutely. Anything that is purchaseable can be bought as a gift*.

* The gifting option can be disabled by publishers, but even so there's a way around that.

 

[Arthea]

Anyone knows which DLC is part of the magicka + dlc from humble jumbo bundle?

dungeons and daemons and Vietnam I think, not sure which ones I had before.

Also I kindly remind you people that for me (and not only for me) Magicka don't work on win8. It does load but not quite work.

On related news, I wish someone told me that Rome TW doesn't work on win8 either. Then again I didn't ask, good I got it cheap.

 

[Alessandro]

So Just Cause Multy is getting developer's support? Like they're gonna provide servers etc.?

Had the chance to play it a few months ago and it was insane, I mean look at that:

Lag was huge though, I'm curious to see how it will fare outside beta.

 

[Dr Dogg]

Can I buy DLC for a game as a gift the same way I would a game?

Pretty much yeah. Just add it to your cart and then select "Purchase as a Gift". Also can be used that way to buy dlc you don't own the base game for and just select the gift to be sent via email and put in your own email address.

 

[Hesemonni]

I liked Jericho a lot. Played it to completion on x360.

It is a bit janky, and it has some of the worst QTEs I've ever encountered, but the core gameplay idea is solid and the plot is actually interesting even if the characters are far too cartoonish.

Bought. Thanks guys!

About to get lost in civ 5 for the third time. Maybe I should set a shorter game lol

Nice giveaway Phinor!

ahhh crumbs, modbot needs to be moved back to this thread. totally forgot :/

ModBot should be attached to this thread again, sorry for the inconvenience (most of the above games are taken

any have impressions for Lords of Football? Seems like The Sims for soccer (yes, soccer) and that doesn't seem like a bad thing

 

[Shepard]

I've tried to enter for it but it doesnt seem to update as taken. Modbot glitch?

Probably, received a PM and the key was already taken.

It's ridiculous that those who bought Dungeonland prior to it going F2P only get one drop. Like TF2, such users should receive the full amount -- 4 in this case.

Dungeons and Daemons + Vietnam.

Thanks. I'll add it to the giveaway pile later then.

 

[Gintoki313]

It really reeks when I get 3 of the same cards in a game. I literally got 3 The RainCoat Killer (Trading Card) cards, and 2 Henry cards.

Which speaking of that, what do you do with trading card versions of cards?

That's just a naming error -- they're not special in any way.

 

[Stumpokapow]

Okay yeah everything is updated to be marked as taken and I pointed modbot back here. Sorry about that. Normally the person making the new thread updates modbot to point to it, but... well... there's no new thread. Whoopsie! It shouldn't affect any of the pending 3 hour giveaways or anything.

I'll have to experiment with activating some of the DLC from one of the recent Humble bundles. I think that Batman vigilante game has cards.

What's this game? I don't recall buying any DLC for it and have a drop too!

 

[JaseC]

It's a paid game gone F2P. You "bought" the Collection if you owned it prior to the change.

If I remember correctly if you got a game from bundle it came with dlc, I can't remember which bundle that was though

Well it seems I'm wrong. Thanks Jasec for clearing that up

 

[inm8num2]

Extra humble keys

Thanks for SS3!

 

[Sullichin]

Only sale game I've played so far is Call of Juarez Gunslinger. Really fun game. I realized after I bought it that it was developed by Techland. The only game I've played by them was Dead Island which I thought was pretty bad. Well, I'm glad I didn't pay attention because I might not have bought it otherwise. If you're looking for an arcadey shooter you can pick up and play in small bursts, it's a good choice. I'm not a huge fan of the dueling mechanic though. I think I'm on chapter 8, assuming I'm near the end of the game. Excited to play Shadow Warrior next. Lots of great FPSs this year.

LOL nothing that putting your face in its belly and nuzzling wouldn't improve! [I like to do this with Lord Henry before I get up in the morning. Lord Henry is our big ginger tom who sometimes gets an avatar look in ]



I don't know; I'll have to ask my partner who named him.

He said it was so both our boys would be named like the English Princes though so I'm afraid Willy of Orange is probably out of luck.

Sorry, he's moved posture now. Next time I do I'll say it was from Uncle cicero, okay?



Hm....I shall be following this one's progress with great interest.

And the royal titles are highly adorable and appropriate for those little hedonistic autocrats
