Oh lawd, this aint lookin good

A tonne of Saints Row 3 DLC is in the registry and a 'Season Pass' entry has been put in recently

:/

On the plus side Arkham City pre-order is in, with LEGO Batman package option as well

 

[Ceebs]

Wow, Dungeon Defenders ticks a lot of boxes. Steamworks, 4-player drop-in co-op which can be played with a combination of local and online people?

Madness.

Are there any 4 packs being organized? I would probably bite for 10 bucks and some change.

 

[VGChampion]

Deus Ex on sale bodes well for the Christmas sale. Hoping it breaks the norm and goes under $30.

 

[JaseC]

Oh shit, Revelations is up for pre-order.

Edit: And there's no Aussie Tax! Oh, Ubisoft, you occasionally magnificent buggers.

Ubisoft are friends of Australia, they are one of the only big publishers left that have never price gouged us

I was excited, then I remembered I probably own LEGO Batman already. I still basically don't have any interest in Arkham Asylum (tried the demo and passed up however many sales), but I'll probably get the new Batman game. Good reviews COMBINED with Catwoman! And to think I know someone who was like, they might buy DLC that would remove Catwoman from the game, if such DLC existed.

If you have any interest in Arkham City you should run like the wind and get Arkham Asylum, it's brilliant. It makes no sense to be interested in one but not the other seeing as they're supposed to play identically.

played about 4 hours of Costume Quest straight, game's fantastic. Im at the last area but i still have the DLC ahead of me, so sad to see that it isnt doing any better :/ should be a top seller.

Jesus :/ ugh, knew this was coming but it still fuckin sucks.


Also WTF at the store page for Darksiders II being already up? game comes out like December next year.


Also as expected (with the game being GFWL) Arkham City is nowhere to be seen in my region. Glad i got an Nvidia key.

edit: oops dp

What the hell? (ha)


That seems like a game that would do better if released in the summer time, IMO.

It really is great. One thing though, I must be slow or something because I took about 12 hours for the main game and the DLC.

That's great. I hadn't noticed since the only (current) franchises they offer that are of interest to me are Assassin's Creed, Beyond Good & Evil (ahahaha) and Rayman.

 

[markot]

Costume quest didnt get much publicity and it was just kinda 'out' on steam...

what

that's definetly weird

though i havent even scratched the DLC yet

im skipping a lot of stuff (not text) victory screen on battles, trick or treat door "cutscenes" etc. Still, 12 hours is too much wtf, and im doing all the sidequests as well.

 

[jim-jam bongs]

Ah okay, it was 10.1 hours with all cheese mints and such:

http://steamcommunity.com/id/Jim-Jam_Bongs/stats/CostumeQuest

Still, must have left it running alt-tabbed or something.

 

[UnluckyKate]

You mean like FEAR and Crysis are in this picture?

http://i226.photobucket.com/albums/dd79/cooley207/steamicons.png

Or like all the other games like the Dirts and GTAs?

I've never heard of Steam auto-detecting the exe filename and adding fullsize icons like Dirt/GTA has, unless you are only talking about Fear/Crysis style?

My FEAR got an Icon

It's not on the store yet, just added (or updated recently) in the registry.

ah, i see

i still doubt i'll see it. Arkham Asylum shows up but that took a bit (ended up playing a retail version first), every other GFWL game doesnt.

 

[wilflare]

I really wanna play some games.
but I have 5 deadlinesss. -sputters-

-just thought i'll drop by to say hello to GAF, be nice pls-

I think the season pass was already discussed in another thread? THQ explained a few things about it.


Hi wilflare. Same situation here. Have about 3 coding projects that need to be done by the end of this week. Also backlog of 150+ games. I want to diminish it ((

I did play an hour of from dust last night, feels good to actually play a single player game and finish a level or two.

 

[Dog Problems]

I finished the main game of Costume Quest and even got all of the achievements which is a the first game I've done that with. I didn't even go out of my way to get any, they just came from what I was doing. Steam says it took 5 hours and that feels about right. I'm going to go through Grubbins On Ice tomorrow. It's a really fun and charming game. I'll probably start playing it every October now.

 

[Glass Rebel]

I fear for my backlog when I get an iPhone next month. *shudder*

 

[Sober]

Already preordered elsewhere but this is interesting. Dunno about getting it on Steam instead since it's GFWL anyway. This is seperate from the nvidia codes right?

 

[Dog Problems]

I fear for my backlog when I get an iPhone next month. *shudder*

I got an iPad 2 a few weeks ago and my backlog has skyrocketed.

 

[Lord British]

Sigh.

I avoided buying all three Tomb Raiders, knowing how huge my backlog was. Then yesterday morning, I dropped in at a charity shop where I found Tomb Raider Underworld for 75p. "Glad I didn't buy that on Steam", I uttered smugly as I installed and booted my newly purchased game. I quickly encountered a confusing cutscene.

Then I went on Steam and bought Legend and Anniversary anyway.

STEEEEEAM

 

[Brazil]

It took me 4 hours to get all the Trophies in the PS3 version... So yeah.

 

[Gravijah]

what SR3 dlc is in the registry? i'm curious if it's the rumored stuff.

I thought Dungeon Defenders came out today. Dammit. (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻

There's a neat recap movie of Anniversary and Legend inside Underworld, though. It's in the extra stuff.
Anyway anniversary is a pretty good game and probably the best of the lot so no damage done

 

[Lord British]

^ Heh, yup - I found it afterwards. Not bothered though, they all seem really good.

Anyone know the best/cheapest place to buy an Arkham City Steam key?

 

[Dead Prince]

Renegade ops coming out tomorrow? I bet it doesn't lulz. i want a refund on this gifted game if it is delayed.

 

[Derrick01]

Oooh I like this. I've never played more than the first level of that and I'm kind of addicted to those lego games. Hopefully it also goes up for $45 instead of 50. Honestly it should be 30 or 40 as an apology for treating us like shit.

 

[Hanzou]

I am up to go in on a 4 pack as well.

I tried the demo and didn't like it. I don't like the graphics, don't like the character style much, hated not being able to bunny hop like a FPS or third-person shooter game. I felt like I was glued to the floor.

The difference is that Arkham City has Catwoman. Who doesn't like cats!

 

[Anilusion]

Anyone added warcraft 3 as a non-steam game? Jut curious to see how it looks with icons shown.

 

[Volcynika]

If someone gifted it to you, they're going to have to give you money back, Valve won't.

(Gifts have to be refunded to the one who gifted it).

You wanted to hop around in a Batman game? The goddamn Batman doesn't hop around.

You insist on knowing my reasons, but I never said they were good reasons. I buy whatever games I want to for whatever reasons. 8D

Why is DLC for a game a bad thing?
Why is a way to get all that DLC that you would have bought in the first place for a discounted price a bad thing?

 

[Rufus]

Why is DLC for a game a bad thing?

Hello drizzle, where have you been these past few years?

 

[MNC]

DLC for a game could mean they have the content ready, but think it's better for them to sell that content for extra money instead of pack it with the original game. Season pass is a stupid concept alltogether but then again so is DLC imo.

 

[drizzle]

Hello drizzle, where have you been these past few years?

Buying DLC for games that deserve it (Mortal Kombat stuff) and not buying DLC for games that screw you over for it (Oblivion Horse Armor)?

I really don't get the hate for DLC. It's usually trivial shit. Look at Just Cause 2: Half of it are overpowered weapons that make the game easier.

If these DLC are just that, don't bother with it until it hits a sale and costs like 98 cents a piece (like the Just Cause stuff). If you want these things, Season Pass it up and get it all for a discount (like I did with Mortal Kombat).

I really like the Season Pass thing.

 

[Gravijah]

because the rumored list had a ton of stuff that looked like it was basically cut from the game and sold as dlc. the rumored list also pointed towards you not being able to get every single upgrade/etc in one playthrough, though you could buy what you don't get as dlc. lol.

i don't own any dlc this gen because it's all a ripoff.

 

[Derrick01]

THQ has an extensive DLC plan for SR3. I'm pretty sure they said the game's going to get new stuff every week for an entire year.

 

[mrgone]

With all this DLC on the table doesn't that mean, at the very least, that they have a reasonable amount of confidence in the port? The way the port of Saints Row 2 was handled, I've held off even thinking about SR3 until there's first-hand experience that it's not a sloppy drive-by port (Johnny Gat does not approve of sloppy drive-bys!)

Fallout New Vegas DLC was anything but a rip-off. Buy better games, bro.

 

[Gravijah]

Fallout New Vegas DLC was anything but a rip-off. Buy better games, bro.

have they been packaged together yet? i mean, i picked up new vegas for 10 bucks, so spending 10 dollars on 5 hours of dlc kind of sucks in comparison.

edit: er, talking about the ps3 version, don't mean to bring da consoles into the steam thread.
