Support NeoGAF

[jaundicejuice]

For one, don't download pirated copies of leaked games.

But to answer your question, if you feel a reinstall is needed, move all your game files to a different folder, then reinstall. After reinstalling, move the game files back to the original folder.

1) It's a press demo, not the full version of the game

2) There's a massive thread about it here on the GAF where people have posted their impressions.

3) Eidos Montreal has encouraged that people post their impressions of the press demo. They've permitted these discussions on their own forums, Kyle Stallock, their Community Manager, wanted to know what people there and on other forums think of the press demo.

4) The leaked press demo has done more to sell people on this game than any previous bits of media.

I don't get how you can equate downloading a press demo to pirating the game, but whatever, that's your bag. Sure you could argue that the average punter shouldn't have access to media materials, but it's out in the wild and it's clearly been made fair game.

I haven't downloaded myself, but I am glad others have and have shared their unguarded opinions.

 

[wolfmat]

The way you put it makes me feel like I'm supposed to download it

This, I did not know. Pretty cool of them, props for embracing something that most companies would go into panic mode over.

 

[jaundicejuice]

They took what could have been a disaster and turned it into a windfall.

 

[markot]

So there is no steam daily deal?!

 

[kamspy]

So there is no steam daily deal?!

Some Steam accounts are banned from daily deals.

 

[Danne-Danger]

Donate some money to charity instead.

 

[Blizzard]

There is (Foreign Legion: Buckets of Blood), but for whatever reason Valve hated the developer so much that they didn't even put it on the front page, and also made it the 11th out of 11 deals, so it just barely falls off the normal frontpage specials section.

They made the right decision, it's a terrible game.

 

[Shaneus]

Seven all the way

After an absence, I've started replaying this again. It's that fucking hard to active play through the story it's ridiculous. Too much shit to do!

It's impossible to pass through a new site and not want to 100% liberate it.

 

[Snuggles]

I watched a video of the daily deal, and I can't believe that Steam allowed it on the store. It looks pretty bad.

 

[Gamejunky]

Hope Amnesia goes on sale soon, I've seen it on sale so many times but for whatever reason passed on it everytime. I'll definitely pick it up next time.

The money you save can buy you a new pair of underwear. You'll need them.

Make sure they're brown.

 

[Gvaz]

Amnesia is the best game and you're only shooting yourself in the foot for wanting to pay less.

It's worth every penny.

One of my friends who even likes brogaming type shit (a girl) is in love with it and thinks its the best $20 ever spent.

Just up and buy it right now.

and loose.

 

[Snuggles]

Agreed. Amnesia is awesome, easily one of the scariest games I've played.

You missed out. A couple of weeks ago Onlive gave it away free.

Probably only delaying buying it because of my massive backlog. Just waiting for a sale more as a excuse lol

That's not really the same. You lose all the details of the game that way.

If you have a good connection the IQ is pretty good for the game. Or so I've experienced.

You're just scared, pansy...

Spoiler

I only got about two hours in to the game before chickening out.

Do make sure to play it with a headset. A good surround sound set, if you can.

I have a two megabyte download speed (it never used more than 700kilobyte) and when I played the RFA demo everything was muddy as hell, like I was playing some 240p video on youtube.

Awesome! If they're giving it the ok, I'm going to download it.

Well that's cool, I guess. I haven't exactly kept up with the news regarding it. Generally, most of the early leaks are not welcomed by the dev/publisher, so that's where my statement came from.

For some reason RFA looked like shit for me as well. Amnesia looks fine though.

 

[shintoki]

All the EvE Online talk finally made me rejoin, and this time. I'm going to give it the full fledged try. Got the 5 free days for coming back and purchased the 2 months for 20$.

Gonna have to dig up the Gaf thread bother people there... Unless of course I kill myself over Vanquish First

Dead Horde, which is a 2 player co-op title that will use Steamworks, is being released in July:

Official Website: http://www.deadhorde.com/
Trailer: http://youtu.be/IX6o5sjX2K8

As a survivor of the mutant virus together with a comrade or alone, you must make your way through the city levels, every new area uncovering new challenges to overcome and mutants to destroy. With a large variety of weapons at your disposal, together you must wipe out the hordes of flesh eating mutants. On the way you can use vehicles and clever puzzles must be solved, but teamwork is the key to survive the DEAD HORDE...

It'll have a 2 pack and it was made by the same group that did Booster Trooper.

 

[Palette Swap]

So, except for Aquaria, are there any 2D scrolling metroidvania games on Steam?

 

[Mr. Luchador]

Who is >Gobe< steam support? Seemed to request a chat from a GAF group and offer me free games. Scammer.

 

[Cheech]

I am wondering when the summer deals start. If we are going by what happened last year, it would start about a week from now and run up until July 1st or so? Anyone heard anything? I was on vacation during last year's sale (same week as this year!), and like Pavlov's dogs, I was at my computer at 1p. Good times.

It would run up to 10 AM in the morning, July 5..

Terraria says hi.

There's Dark Void Zero, if you're not put off by Securom

 

[scorpscarx]

I'm really annoyed that Alice MR isn't up on Steam yet. I know blah blah blah EA blah, but that's one game I wouldn't mind getting even if it got terrible mainstream reviews.

I know about the origin deal with the original and everything, still not buying it there.

So Ea makes a new store and decides not to release its new third-party games on Steam? Maybe we could get some confirmation on this other than the wait 2 weeks post release strategy.

 

[Drkirby]

It's been on the front page for me all day :s

For me it hasn't been showing up on the front.

 

[Echoplx]

Weird, it's on the AU store but not the US/UK store.

 

[Shahadan]

Seven all the way

WTF man. Seeing your post I thought "hey what the hell I'll try Just Cause 2 Demo now I have a capable laptop"

30 seconds in I wanted the game on sale.

2 minutes in, I bought it.

What the fuck.

And 4.9 Go ? W.T.F is this game.

 

[Echoplx]

Shadow Harvest: Phantom Ops 75% off

bomba

 

[PaulLFC]

Shadow Harvest is the daily deal. It has a metascore of 36. Yeah.

 

[Quake1028]

How much in US American Dollars?

 

[PaulLFC]

How much in US American Dollars?

$10

 

[Drkirby]

How much in US American Dollars?

$10, the game is 2 months old and is right now 75% off (Normally $40)

The reviews go from waste of time to at best a average game. Doesn't seem like a great buy.

 

[Quake1028]

So it seems $9.99 too much for that turd .

 

[Kweh]

When is the Summer sale starting? It was around this time last year.

 

[Polk]

When is the Summer sale starting? It was around this time last year.

In 4569 seconds.

Only Valve knows

 

[kodt]

When is the Summer sale starting? It was around this time last year.

I thought it lasted for a week leading up to the 4th of July.

It ended yesterday. Can't believe you missed so many deals.

There are some things you just cant joke about dude
