It may sound cliche but keep trying, you'll get it sometime.
I gave up on those trials and just played the AI. No point in trying to do half that shit when it isn't practical in real matches.

Good stuff. Thanks for the chance.
I generally tell people you don't have to watch the whole thing when I link that particular video. At about 20-30 minutes he tells you to stop watching and he completes the game, you can keep going for more tips along the way but its far from necessary.
I hope you like my contribution. This giveaway is also a personal statement about myself.

The Last Express Gold Edition --MB-DE63308650A3F1E2- Taken by r3n4ud
Ah man, thanks so much
Had this one in the Steam cart, but hadn't pulled the trigger yet.
You are in luck then!
I remember being literally blown away by The Last Express when I randomly happened to pick it up a few years ago. In retrospect, it might not have the best story or puzzles, but it's just phenomenal nevertheless.
Thanks for the giveaway man!
Jeez, all these generous people. SteamGAF really is the best.
I have watched it, but things are still confusing. Trying to experiment now.
I look forward to starting it up as soon as it's done downloading. Have been looking forward to this one for awhile now. Hope I enjoy it as much as you did.

Heh there you go, I should have stuck with it a bit longer
Speaking of Civ 5, I've been playing a bit of "A mod of ice and fire" http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=128722076&searchtext= which is great fun. Well worth a look for fans of the series.

Damn Todd, that's pretty cool.
The only problem with that is you have to dedicate at least 6 hours to a full Civ game.
That and they varying time zones and schedules. Never bloody easy hahaha.

Thanks. Definitely going to give this a go. Played a similar themed mod on AoE which was also good fun.
It gets very tiresome to sit through other people's turns, even if there are just two players. I dunno, I just never had the patience.

Hacker Evolution Duality --MB-286CCF07DDA1F746- Taken by gabrielt16

Reading Orange's post in the previous page, holy crap, is there really people who waited for years to have their GAF account approved? That sounds insane.
I guess I can consider myself extremely lucky. My account was approved one week after I signed up here.
About Civ5, I've played a bit of it, but I still don't quite understand how the trading system works in the game. Is it necessary to create roads and train lines between cities to trade stuff, even among your own cities? I never quite understood how trading works in the game, and what building roads and such exactly does in the game
Bear in mind I'm talking about Civ5 + Gods & Kings here. Still haven't bought Brave New World (the trade routes system in BVW looks like some hot stuff).

I'm very dumb you see.

Thanks Muld for the giveaway!
When I first started Civ V I just jumped right in on easy diffuculty, big everything (Map size, city states, etc...) and played with Genghis Khan. It only took me a few turns to understand the game.

I never beat that tutorial either, but as Skullgirls was my first fighting game in 15 plus some years I had an excuse, or so I told myself.

I actually got that game from that golden joystick thing, so I guess I can download this for whenever I actually play it. I should probably see what this game actually plays like but I just hope it's not an RTS.
That one took me about half an hour and it hurt my thumb.

I wish Leonard Nimoy was in Civ again
I swear that one day I'll watch these Civ5 videos and learn this damn genre.
Until then I'll stick to my strategy training wheels. I'm currently in love with Skulls of the Shogun. Which btw, has a surprising amount of multiplayer options (hotseat, cross-platform async)
It's also 5 dollars on amazon right now

buy it you bastards
Awesome give-away!
Yeah know what you mean, though I'm usually the one lagging behind with my fastidious micro hahaha. Although PitBoss support was added in later to CivV, IV had way better play by email support which worked fantastically.
Having Spock as the narrator really added a sense of gravitas to IV that I felt V is lacking. That and it scores highly with nerd points for me.

Just a friendly reminder since it's buried 500 posts back -- I'm raffling off a copy of Crusader Kings II. It's an awesome game and it just got a large update as well as a fantastic new DLC/expansion "The Sons of Abraham".
Thanks!
I bought this yesterday, even though I'm not a Zelda fan. Don't know when I'll get to playing it, but I wanted to have it anyway.
this game is so good someone should put it up on greenlight
Picked up and decided to start Lost Planet 3.
Not much gameplay impressions yet, but it's a pretty rough port and the devs totally screwed up the option to change key bindings.
It's impossible to change commands to keys that are already in use, so binding multiple actions to the same key is not allowed (altough by default there are multiple actions bound to the same keys).
To make matters worse the default binding scheme is pretty bad with multiple actions, including some vital ones like item/weapon-pick up, bound to the easy to reach P-key. There are like 20+ actions to bind, too.
Only solution to this is to edit an .ini-file, but apparently that crashes the game occasionally.
Reloading a check-point seems to screw up something too, as it ate up my dialogue audio and the in-game UI until I changed zones.
Ah well, I'm in the mood for a janky game.
Technical problems aside, I think, I'm gonna have fun with this one.

I like that screenshot. Live in the distant future...all sorts of new technology, weapons, ships and more amazing things then you could ever imagine.
Still need glasses and a fuzzy hat.
I thought it was a shower cap at first glance.
Who is the narrator in V?

Textures are getting so realistic I'm really not sure how you made that mistake. Maybe you need glasses.
Just jump in on easy and make sure all the advisor tips are on and such. The game guides you through all the basics, and it's turn-based so you never have to feel rushed.

I was hoping to pull an all nighter trying to finish Rage up, but something happened that made me stop playing immediately.
In the game later on you start fighting
enemies (which is a bunch of crap since they take 3 shotgun shots, a whole clip from the Light Machine Gun, or a clip and a half from the AR on normal mode). During the levels when they appear there are machines that make laser gates that you have to shut down using
. How do you do this? Well it's pretty easy, just engineer them using a few tools. Well here's the major negative. One of the tools is a REGULAR GRENADE (3 of them to be exact)!
So I spent my whole time going through the level and using my grenades when needed during combat, when I came to one of these laser gates. Then I had 0 grenades left. So you would think there would be grenades laying around just in case you may not have the tools for it, NOPE. So what did I have to do? I had to backtrack all the way out the level (losing my progress in the level), buy grenades, and disable the laser gate.
I didn't even do that. Once I got out of the sewers I just quit the game and stopped playing out of anger. I can't stand when a game doesn't put back ups or some way to get through an obstacle just in case something like this occurs. Also shame using a grenade or any kind of battle weapon for something as important as this. That's just wrong.
Sorry about this long rant but that really grinded my gears. Got about 4hrs into the game and probably not going to go back. The level designs reminded me of Metro, the story was terrible (I wasn't very interested and the conversations tended to drag a while), and what I just ranted about really makes me salty.
If there's one thing I liked about the game was the graphics and character designs. I was really digging some of the characters looks (especially the Mayor), and the graphics were pretty decent.
I wish I could give my full thoughts on the game, but I didn't beat it so I can't. So for now I give it:
3 grenades I don't have/10
In the game later on you start fighting
armored
EMP grenades

Please tell me your joking
I shot it for a while out of anger but nothing happened so I backtracked. They really need to tell people that instead of making it seem like EMP grenades are the only way.

He's not joking, sorry.
But yeah, RAGE pretty much describes the feeling one has after playing the 'game' for a while.

You need electro ammo I think. If you can reach them, you can also just melee the generators (I guess the one you are talking about is behind a wall)
Personally, I loved it. The shooty-bits alone made the experience worthwhile, even if the driving sections got real old, real fast.
Yep, and the blatant reuse of the what felt like 5 levels the game had was rage-inducing. "Now do this level again, but backwards" is really not on.
Decent prices here
