woohoo, thanksCptkrush said:Quote for Invite:
well, basically, you put up a game for a giveaway and people enter to win it. The winner is randomly drawn at the end of the contest.Omi said:What is this steam gifts site?
I have quite a few gifts/extra copies on my account, would this be the way to get rid of them to decent people?

Probably because those are often packed together, and if you already own one it becomes gift-able.Derrick01 said:Any idea why it seems like most of the gifts on there are Valve games?

Kinda like with Orange Box, for people that already owned Half Life 2 and Episode 1 getting gift copies to give out.
Its insane how fast steam has grown in a few short months.Toma said:3,939,145 to be exact. So yeah, its just a matter of days, I guess.

Well you wanted the Dirt 3 shit to stop, right?Stallion Free said:Might as well rename this shit the Steamgifts Invite/Begging |OT|.
SimonM7 said:A yes and no and yes to that. I've played a myriad of adventure games lately as a result of getting a PC again that doesn't throw up as soon as anything is animated on screen. I used to love adventure games 15 - 20 years ago and was pretty much carrying around the notion of the genre being dead - a popular and pretty misguided notion at that - during the bulk of the time since then.
Anyway, I really, really enjoyed Still Life in particular. The interface is a little wonky at first and the labelling is a bit messed up, but once you've sorta poked around and figured out what the icons mean and whatnot it's no longer an issue. If you want a crime thriller that is well put together with a near non-existant amount of sociopathic solutions (I'll give this gardener a permanent skin condition so I can get to that pile of leaves!) and ludicrous puzzle scenarios (cat hair + honey) with dark themes that feel sincerely gritty instead of the forced, bolted on, look-at-me style gritty that's prevailent in most mainstream games today, it's fits that bill splendidly.
Unlike the sequel, which is one of the most headache inducingly busted games I've played in a long while. The story is stupid, the gameplay is full of pseudo "realtime adventure" elements like time restrictions and inventory limitations, and it's so full of glitches you can barely tell what's deliberate and what isn't at points. The fact that 2 is such a soul sucking disappointment wouldn't matter much if you could comfortably skip it, but the actual resolution to Still Life 1 is baked into 2 as a paranthetical sub story that plays out in tiny segments inbetween parts of its main - and almost completely standalone - plot. So that's a bummer.
In regards to Post Mortem, I haven't played that yet myself. I've read reviews that paint a really grim picture of its localisation though, with sentences that seem like they've just replaced the french words in the original sentence with english words and stuff like that. At enough of a discount I'd like to check it out, but it seems considerably more wonky than either of its successors.
So with all this in mind I hope you've a clearer picture. I'd say, personally, that Still Life is totally worth it. Whether you champion through its problem ridden sequel (which I actually did) or simply wiki your way to the plot resolution afterwards, it's still a really satisfying, detailed crime story with a lot of atmosphere and enough of a payoff in the end to feel like it's still a complete experience.
Was about to say the same thing. Are Steamgift invites the new DIRT3 codes?Stallion Free said:Might as well rename this shit the Steamgifts Invite/Begging |OT|.
