Oh, I know that, but I'm thinking that it's tied to your steam account. I guess I should clarify, Could me and another person be on the same Steam account--one on the ps3, one on the pc/mac-- and still play co-op?

Could be wrong, but I'm going to say no.

Highly, highly unlikely. The whole point of Steam cross play is to allow you to purchase a game and play it across all your compatible devices. Allowing you to play one purchase on multi devices at the same time goes against everything Steam has ever done. Wouldn't count on an exception here.

So I just bought Darksiders and I can't get the cursor to stop shifting up. When in game, the camera just keeps looking up and none of the buttons on the X360 controller work. Does anyone know what's going on? Is there any hope of playing this game?

Mine did the same thing when I had my generic controller plugged in. I had to download X360ce. Its a 360 controller emulator. Everything straightened out after that. I still had to tweak the controller like crazy to get it working properly but the camera problem was solved instantly. I now have a 360 wired controller so no problems at all now.

Valve haven't said anything about that just yet, but the assumption is 'no'.

I had an issue when I loaded up Darksiders with the menu controls that ended up being the result of the Bluetooth USB dongle I had plugged into my mobo. When I unplugged it everything was right as rain. So uh, if you have one of those, try that.

Hey whaddya know! That did it! Thanks man! What an odd glitch.

 

[ROBOKITTYZILLA]

Anyone know why Indigo Prophecy was pulled from the Steam store? It still shows up in my wishlist but the store listing is gone.

 

[Barack Lesnar]

Anyone know when Direct2Drive charges your credit card for a pre-order? Immediately or when the game comes out?

 

[Spwn]

^^ Maybe they ran out of keys during a sale. That has happened to a number of games.

They charged me for Crysis 2 back when I placed the order.

 

[MacAttack]

That horrid wings of prey DRM is gone? Hallefreakinglujah.

It was just about the only game in my library I hadnt touched since setting up my new PC mainly because of the DRM. Maybe now Ill check it out again.

 

[Boss Doggie]

So did I make a right choice and buy Monday Night Combat? XD

It's soooo fun but sorta repetitive.

 

[Joe Molotov]

Occasionally games disappear from the store and no reason is ever given, but presumably it has to do with Valve no longer having the rights to sell them.

 

[Forkball]

It has its ups and downs. It's more of a tower defense/DotA game than a shooter. I'm interested to see if the community grows, a week or so ago they were maxing out at 300 players a day, but now with this free weekend it's up to 8,000.

Damnit, another Outrun case. I swear it's a conspiracy to make people buy anything they are interested in as quickly as possible.

 

[leroidys]

Did anybody pick up Victoria II on sale? I had no problem picking up UE3, but I'm in way over my head on this.

 

[kamspy]

Is there a Cliffs of Dover hype thread?

 

[graywolf323]

any impressions of Winter Voices?

wish they'd give us a warning so if you had been on the fence about a game you could buy it before it disappeared (GOG.com tends to do this I believe)

fuck, i was so gonna buy that next sale too. sold my PS2 copy to do so. dammit. do these things ever reverse?

also, graywolf: i bought Winter Voices, not yet played but i was sold on RPS post. flawed, but intriguing, and it was on sale.

 

[Semblance]

I've only played the prologue, but it's painfully slow. Would not recommend.

Me neither, thought it looks incredible on pictures but actual gameplay is kinda "meh".

 

[syoaran]

Got a quick question about authentication to the neogaf hivemind:

I'm at work now and I'm thinking of picking up Shogun2 and AC:B down at my local HMV. However I've just moved house back at home, so now direct connection there for another two weeks.

I've got steam installed on my macbook - is there a way for me to authorize my CD-Keys here at work, and then use a authorized code to install the game at home (ala Alpha Protocol)?

 

[toastyToast]

Shogun 2, yes.

AC Brotherhood, no.

 

[ChesterCharm]

i have 2 copies of Monday Night Combat, left. pm me if interested.

 

[Exuro]

I want MNC but I'm not sure how I'd pay back.

 

[iavi]

Same here. PM sent anyway though.

 

[bigace33]

Went ahead and pulled the trigger on Darksiders for 10 bucks. I pirated it a while back but now it is one more game now that I can proudly say I paid for. I'm slowly making my rounds on all the games I pirated on PC to at least pay for them. It's gonna take a while and I probably wont be able to do all of them but at least I'm trying. Us reformed pirates must take it one day at a time.

Always glad to hear someone is going legit. Just a heads up though, the forum frowns on piracy so if you are going to continue to pirate, please don't admit it here.

Ok sorry. I'm done with piracy. Lol I hope they don't ban me for saying that. It took a half a year to get approved to even post here to begin with.

now is as good a time as any to break out one of my favorite quotes about Steam

[LiquidMetal14]

There's so many good deals on Steam, GG, and other places that it's awesome. I've quickly built up a small collection since building my new PC about a month ago. It's bliss here. Couple that with my newly r-invigorated PS2 gaming on my PC (thanks to PCSX2) and it's icing on the cake. Love PC gaming.

I love it! That should be the thread title, if we could have long-arse thread titles, that is.

I second this. There's pretty much of a titles in my library in which I won't ever play.

 

[Htown]

I used to think that way. Then I played Battle: Los Angeles.

Now I figure nothing could be as big a waste as that game, so I'll probably get to everything eventually.

I avoided last year's Christmas sale due to the size of my Steam backlog. Surprisingly, it wasn't that difficult to avoid temptation; whenever I saw an awesome deal, I'd just load up CS and forget about it.

 

[ChesterCharm]

all my copies of mnc have been sold. thanks for the pms yall. sorry if i didn't get to you. if you guys are interested in future stuff, i do packs all the time.

This may not apply to everyone, but it is funny how we buy so many games and build up huge backlogs only to keep coming back to the same games.

I probably shouldn't have bought Rift because now pretty much all of my backlog has been put off indefinitely. If only I could clone myself so I could 2X this shit.

Got two copies of Portal to trade if someone wants to.

I could probably never buy another game in my life and still not finish the games on my Steam list. I'm at about 390 now.

 

[wolfmat]

I have like 300 less. 390 is a bunch!

 

[kswiston]

I could probably never buy another game in my life and still not finish the games on my Steam list. I'm at about 390 now.

I have really slowed down my purchasing in the last 8-9 months, but am still at 260... And that doesn't even count the 50 or so games I have on other services like GOG.com

$1-5 games are my weakness.

 

[NaM]

The Witcher: Enhanced Edition Director's Cut is 50% off $9.99. I could buy it again just to have it on my steam game list

 

[Enk]

Sacred 2 went down to $10. Very tempted to pick this up now.

 

[Acidote]

NWN2: Platinum is 50% off.

 

[scorpscarx]

Lots of stuff going on sale right now, The Witcher EE is $10, anyone who hasn't played that buy it now!!!!

Speaking of number of games on steam, I usually only buy stuff that I am certain to play.
Of my sub-100 games, I've played them all and usually more than once. Even if a $$60 game is $3 bucks I won't buy it if I don't want it

 

[Dr. Zoidberg]

Looks like they're having some kind of RPG sale.
