Last call for someone to gift me indie packs/ FEAR pack in exchange for either a Brink Steam key or a D2D code foe Hunted.
I have no money and my computer can't run Brink or Hunted so it would be great if someone wanted either of the games but didn't want to pay full price.
$ 20/30 for a $50 game.

It hasn't been scrapped. They didMRORANGE said:
Yeah, it tends to work out better for valve when they just release features unannounced. "Oh yeah, there is a screen shot feature", "Oh, we added Facebook integration, cool?", "Did we mention we have Youtube integration now?"Stallion Free said:It hasn't been scrapped. They didannouncecock-tease it too early though

more or less, though I think it's an optional toggle layout then a redesign for what we have currently.szaromir said:

I'm playing Fear 2 after having loved Fear 1 years ago right now. I can't put it down its well worth it bundled in with the first.
I'm speed running it on normal, soooo good.

And here we go. 3 complete packs added to the registry. Nothing interesting except its most likely in preparation for the summer sale.

Do people think this is just going be for the Steam interface? Or are they working with developers to get controller support more/better integrated into games. Because honestly, if all it is is allowing you to navigate the steam interface with the controller, I'm not sure why people are so excited for that. I just keep a cheap $15 wireless keyboard (with built in trackpad) by the TV to get around steam with, it's the games I have problems with.
Edit: Although I guess if you have your PC only hooked up to your tv and only buy games that natively support the pad, it will be a nice feature.
I personally am pretty excited about controller support for the Steam interface. The majority if not all of the big publisher releases have innate xbox controller support and even a lot of the indie games also do (like Super Meat Boy). I don't really expect Valve to push controller support on all the developers.coopolon said:

I think we might see something like the OnLive interface, where they just implement a simple xpadder like system for games that don't support controllers.

will you play all the games in said pack in the next 14 days? if not pass for now, cheaper or not I think it's worth buying if you want to play them instead of letting them sit in steam untouched.~Kinggi~ said:

did any of the Total War games go on sale during the last summer sale? I have Rome, Medieval 2 and Shogun 2 and I'm itching for Empire and Napoleon but the combined GOTY edition is still running at 45$ on steampowered. hoping that it goes down to 20ish during the sale

Just trying to stick to terminology you are familiar with.szaromir said:
I really hope it starts monday. I wanted to have $100 ready for this but I've managed $120 so far, so my wallet is ready.
Hoping for a Bulletstorm 50% off deal, which would make it $15. I've been wanting to play that since it came out, but I failed myself and picked the wrong choice that day and got Killzone 3 instead.

This year GoG may get the majority of my $$$. Their sale begins Monday.
Ok, this is odd. Speculate what you think this means, I have an idea of what you may be thinking though. Grain of salt and such.
Two fairly new entries to the registry are "Valve TestApp440 - Test 1" and "Valve TestApp440 - Test 1 (DE)" [This isn't a Deluxe Edition, it is a Low Violence version, DE means Deutsch, aka German, it has the value LowViolenceInRestrictedCountries=1"]
Now, why should you care? If you ever took the time to find the tools to look at stuff, you will find things like "[8527] ValveTestApp55399 Comp", which is normally done to try and obscure just what the game is. Lower number are Valve games. Now, at first I thought it could be Dota 2, because the Beta of Dota 2 is 490. But, I just took a quick look at 440 is. Want to know what 440 is? Team Fortress 2.
And I just now noticed there is a "No Cost" check ticked.
Hmmmmmm...
In other news, for what I went to check, there is only 1 real complete pack I saw added, a Paradox one. The other that somewhat look like them are just Splinter Cell Conviction and "Sword of the Stars Complete Collection Retail", which looks to be one game.

Can you fix the FOV in FEAR2?
And since I always ask but never get a solid answer, can I play it in 4:3 without black bars? (you couldn't in the demo)

I had to keep going back through the checkout process to get the friends list page to completely load so that I could select someone. I hope it gets fixed.Gvaz said:
Kirby, I guess they'll release meet the medic and medic items and maybe pyro update and make an optional version of the game free to play and stuffs.

I wouldn't use the fact there is no price listed as evidence for anything. Many times games are given a placeholder as you know for price, be it 0 or $99.99.
I am pointing out the fact that it says "No Cost" in Billing Type. Not just a $0.00 price. Almost all applications have "Proof of Prepurchase" or "Bill Only Once" checked.LovingSteam said:
Anther example of a game that has "No Cost" is 'The Cat and the Coup', which as you may or may not know, is a free indie game on Steam.
Oh fuck. f2p tf2 incoming.Drkirby said:Ok, this is odd. Speculate what you think this means, I have an idea of what you may be thinking though. Grain of salt and such.

Man ever since you got that registry tool from the forum you're becoming preeeetty addicted!
Actually I have had it for a long time, there just tends not to be that much stuff of note on it (Oh look, more railworks DLC). The main reason I have been checking is E3 week and Dota 2 tidbits (Hey, this guy said something about Dota 2, lets see if there is anything new in the registry!)MNC said:
