Oh no! I can't buy a game that I'll probably never really play despite getting hyped when downloading it and enjoying my first 30 minute session. Exit game, never touch again :P.

Has anyone heard of this game? It doesn't look half bad, saw it while poking around the storefront.

Hack n' slash looking action game from an indie developer, Dead Mage. Steam Cheesemints, and controller support.

Trailer youtube'd:

That actually looked really impressive even though it was god of war basically. My first thought was "is this from gameloft?" :P

Regardless it does look interesting and I'll definitely keep an eye on it. Thanks for the heads up.

I just want Wolfenstein to go on sale. The game came out YEARS ago and it's still $40!

I would also like Prey to be available on Steam again. :(

Uhm since its a steam works title, you get a key somewhere else for cheap? In the christmas time I bought a Prey key for like 3$?

Oh yeah, that's the Iranian game. They had to make everything using freeware. It's actually a pretty decent GOW knockoff.

About the sales, don't worry guys, I'm sure tomorrow and Thursday we can still give Gabe money for stuff we'll never play.

Oh yea, I remember hearing about that. Weird thing is, is that Steam lists that Dead Mage Studios made the game (they're based in Pasadena, Tx), but they were actually collaborators, and that Fanafzar (from Iran) made the game. Or maybe I'm just confused.

Same. Heard it's fun from people who share tastes in games with me, so I'd probably like it. I liked Singularity.

You really, really don't want Wolfenstein, you'd probably be better off replaying Return for the umpteenth time, trust me, it's just better that way.

The over world was kinda lame, but the individual missions were fantastic. Raven is fucking god when it comes to making entertaining shooters that are just fun to play.

Pretty sure neither of those games I mentioned are steamworks. I don't even think Steamworks existed when they came out.

And I think it was 2 Christmas's ago that they had Prey for super cheap and then they ran out of keys for it and never got any more to my knowledge.

That's why I want it on sale for $10 or less! I wouldn't go near it for $40, I could get Dead Space 2 for that much and that one came out a few months ago!
 
Danneee said:
Yeah, speaking of which, isn't there some kind of easter sale or something soon?
Click to expand...

i thought the two-take thing was actually the easter sales beginning, going through developer catalogs

sucks :(

I thought it was great fun. I thoroughly enjoyed the campaign.

I really liked Wolfenstein, and I payed full price for it at launch. The gunplay is fantastic.

This person should be shunned and cast out. Wolfenstein was awesome, at least in single player anyways.

Prey keys can be activated on Steam.
 
Took the bite on GTA 4 Complete. Love that game and have to finish Gay Tony some time, plus now I have rig that hopefully will run this with the ENB mod too!
 
Rodney McKay said:
Cool, I was unaware of this! Does this work with box copies as well? Amazon has it for ~$9.
Click to expand...
Yeah. One of the few games to retroactively get steam activations.

Yup. I recommend using the installer to extract the files in a desktop folder and then manually copy them to the GTA3 folder in steamapps.

Only thing ive noticed is that it kinda screw ups the Steam overlay, since it closes itself for some reason. And apparently you also cant take steam screenshots.

Small price to pay though, since the game looks a lot better.
Click to expand...
Yeah, no Overlay means no screenshots. Such a shame in Outrun 2006.
 
Digging around the registry again, Spiral Knights was added. That should help give the game some more popularity.

Oh, and some more Magika DLC.

What are the timeframes for Steam sales? for midweek madness and weekend deal specifically.
Click to expand...


10am Tuesday to 4pm Thursday for midweek madness. 10am Thursday to Sunday night or Monday morning for the weekend deals.
 
Sorry Olivia, I really like you but it wouldn't be fair to Pandora cause he tried. PM me your steamid Pandora.

EDIT: that was horrible, nobody saw it prior to the edit. Phew.

...Olivia?

Anyway, the plane controls in San Andreas are horrible. I couldn't keep a single craft in the air for more than 3 seconds before I flew straight up and stalled or crashed into something.

edit: Oh I do win! thanks, PMing now.
 
Mr Sandman said:
So I bought the GOTY edition of Borderlands on sale so I could gift it to my buddy who owns vanilla Borderlands. I would have gifted him the DLC pack (same price) but the sale ended on that. I sent it to him a few days ago, but he never received it. Tried to resend it again, and it says he already owns it (I am guessing it means the vanilla). Is there any fix to this problem?
Click to expand...

It won't actually say 'Borderlands GOTY' in his library but if he right clicks and views DLC then it should be there.

Is there a way to turn off this login authorization process? I'm looking in settings and can't find anything.

It's getting pretty annoying, every time I try to log in from any computer, even ones I've logged in from repeatedly before, it's not remembering for some reason.

I assume you're talking about Steam Guard? That can be turned off in Settings -> Manage Steam Guard security.

Thanks! I was trying to do it from the website, guess I should have known to look for it in the client.
