Yep. I wonder how long it took before they realized they could get away with $20 DLC.

 

[Kabuki Waq]

did anyone get Nail'd Today?

 

[Leatherface]

Speaking of dirt 2... Were are the graphic options? Can seem to find them.

No kidding! because the menu system is an annoying POS!! It's like a bad flash site.

Anyway, the options menu should be in the trailer somewhere or outside right before you choose "Race".

 

[Stop It]

did anyone get Nail'd Today?

I totally read that wrong to begin with, certainly the wrong sort of Steam.

Anyway, it's a racing game, and it doesn't look terrible so I'll end up buying it at some point knowing me, but I'm waiting for some PC reviews and obviously the holiday sale in case it gets a mighty discount.

 

[Avyrocky]

Just installed Episodes from Liberty City and when I attempt to play the game I get a 'fatal error' symbol saying that the game needs Windows Service Pack 1.

Anyone know how to sort this?

 

[Drkirby]

What OS do you have?

 

[Avyrocky]

Windows 7 64-bit Home Edition

So, it seems everyone on my friends list and me now owns King's Bounty Legend. I was just checking my friends list of games and saw he had King's Bounty but he didn't strike me as a person you would buy that game, so I go into the store page and it gave me the option to download. And now it is.

Sorry if this is brought up before.

Turn off hardware acceleration for flash video player, it's been a source of video driver crashes for a while now.

I've had it cause a blue screen that wiped my ipod while it was synching

Thanks, turned it off. Hopefully that fixes it.

Wow, that's...really weird. Like all but one of my Steam friends apparently has it, so you would seem to be right. I wonder what's up with that one friend, if so. :lol

*edit* If you try to gift it, people show up as not owning it, like normal. But if you go to their profiles they do show as owning it. At any rate, I guess it's Valve's mistake, and hopefully no one gets in trouble for trying to grab it.

Interesting. Great game if anyone doesn't have it and jumps on this before it gets corrected.

Did you see the Giantbomb quicklook? I was interested, but that interest faded quickly after seeing that.

Ha, I saw the same thing. I was worried that I was buying things without remembering.

Wow. I'm pretty sure I really do not own this game. :lol

 

[K.Jack]

Hit 'Play Now' see if it lets you DL the game.

 

[Dice]

:lol Me too, I just clicked "play now" and it's downloading, so they ain't gettin it back!

...or maybe they will. I don't know, I don't really even like King's Bounty games.

 

[Baha]

Oh wow, everyone on my list has it :lol .

 

[Stallion Free]

Downloading now too. Have zero interest in the game, but what the hell I'll give it a look.

 

[erpg]

I deserve it considering how 1C Company lied to me about a widescreen patch for Armored Princess.

Not really though.

 

[gotee12]

Noticed this "freebie" earlier and hit "Play Now" out of curiosity. It's downloading.

Gonna feel awfully guilty if this sticks and isn't some temporary glitch...

 

[Relix]

Free game? Why not.

 

[Dice]

I stopped it from downloading because I honestly really hated the demo. It's not even worth the HD space it takes up. :lol

It's a pretty fine game, it's just really fucking long, and hard. 18 hours in, and I'm not even off the first continent.

Cool judge a game based on the demo (the AP demo right? lawl)

 

[gotee12]

Stopped the download, deleted the local content and it disappeared from my owned games list. Though visiting the game's page on the store shows that I still own it (which virtually everyone does now apparently).

Anyhoo, it no longer appears in my owned games list after deleting it. Conscience clear... :lol

 

[Twig]

Uh that's what demos are for.

 

[poppabk]

Hmm I already own it from a different service, but wouldn't mind having a proper steam shortcut. On the other hand what is steams record on punishing people for taking advantage of glitches to get free stuff?

For something this big, they'll just remove the game from accounts that didn't purchase it. This is definitely a mistake on their end, I can't see them banning users over downloading a game that Steam added to their accounts out of the blue.

 

[Dice]

Then how come I have Toki Tori and you don't?

I somehow doubt that everything about the basic mechanics suddenly becomes something different once you get the full version.

 

[Edgeward]

So it totally let me play the game, the Battle system is not what I expected it to be. From what little I've seen of it in screenshots I thought it was diablo like, so I was surprised as hell when I got put into a hex grid.

So I'm a mage but didn't take part in fighting the dragon, instead I had people fight for me. All except the knight was useless. I'm so confused.

 

[John]

unannounced free week? cool bebe

 

[Schmattakopf]

Edit: Beat with the exact same words.

Both games introduce completely different mechanics that change the way the game is played.

You get to build your army as you see fit once you get out of the tutorial. You can recruit damn near any creature in the game from Beholders to Dragons to Wizards to well there is a lot, you get the point.

I haven't played very much yet, but I was warned that there are limited amounts of nearly all classes. I guess that if the castle or whatever runs out, you can't recruit any more in that area? If that's the case do you literally have to worry about any units dying? Some units have so little HP that it's kinda hard to imagine them surviving a hit.

Uh ok.

As you progress the main castle gets more units and certain types become infinite. But all over the map are places you can recruit units, and the world is freaking huuuugggggeeeee. But yea each place you recruit from has a limited stock, so you don't want to throw your units away but I never had problems keeping my army stocked with the troops I wanted.

 

[Semblance]

And I almost bought King's Bounty the other day too. Phew.

Nice catch.

 

[Dice]

So it turns into Disgaea or something? I know what isn't my type and never will be, and this game is just that.

What the hell is Toki Tori? I guess it's this?
Uh ok.

It's a joke, man. It's all the rage here so I used it for cheap gamer cred. :lol

 

[Stallion Free]

Uh ok.

Game is fucking amazing.

Spoiler

But seriously, Toki Tori is good.

 

[vocab]

Nothing like Disgaea really. It's tactics, but that's really it. I don't like tactic games that much either, but King's Bounty I like a lot.

 

[Sgt.Pepper]

I...wow, I suppose this is Valve's mistake, right?

 

[Twig]

You are a terrible person. Just FYI.

 

[Dead Prince]

better beat the game before they lock you out in 10 hours steam time. it must be their mid-week deal or something.

 

[Stumpokapow]

Played Jolly Rover which I bought in one of the indie packs.

Basically it's like an amateur Monkey Island, only you play as a Dog. That's a good thing. The game is pretty funny, it looks nice enough although modest. Some of the puzzles are pretty good. Nothing ridiculous. Lasts 3.5 hours or so.

Definitely recommend checking it out if you don't own it, or actually bothering to play it if you do.

Interesting article on Retail v. Steam:
http://www.mcvuk.com/features/808/OPINION-Retail-vs-Steam

I think retail is going to be a dying biz . . . even for consoles. It will continue to exist but the retail copies will cost more to the customer.

 

[Weenerz]

Downloading King's Bounty, I've given Steam more than enough money just on TF2 crate keys.

 

[AcridMeat]

My friend gifted me Magic: The Gathering recently and I'm really enjoying it.

However! This current game is fucked!

I swear to god I keep on drawing land cards OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER. There are 26 land cards on there, I believe the deck had ~30 out of 70 total.

59% of my draws were mana. Now I have to deal with their piss poor way of selecting what creature you want to block for this bullshit.

In real magic the ratio is supposed to be 20 lands and 40 other spells for a 60 card deck, going past 60 tends to mess up your odds too much.

I can't recall if the magic video game let you customize anything though.

 

[John]

is this a new thing? because back when kamigawa was t2 not even green would go with only 20 lands

 

[speculawyer]

Is this what Tycho was talking about in Poker at the Inventory? 20 mana in a row or something like that?
