Coming back to this thread, I've been active in the iOS Gaming and Dolphin threads instead. Also, I don't know if this has been posted by anyone else or not, but Postal 2 is on Greenlight and they're asking for help to get verified to Steam! They're giving out free Steam or Desura keys if you help them out, here's the link
Also, has anyone tried out the XCOM: Enemy Unknown demo? It's actually really good, and I played it with a controller in BPM, works fantastically. I would pre-order it now but I don't get paid until next week :/
And how does Castle Crashers play on PC? Multiplayer Locally?

I went in to the demo knowing it was just tutorial crap and the first really basic mission so I didn't freak out like a lot of others did but I really liked how it played and was especially surprised how well it works on the controller. I just preordered it about 20 minutes ago so I've got that and Dishonored paid off. If GMG doesn't screw me on the Dishonored key I should have a pretty awesome October 9th.
This is kinda abusing the Greenlight system imo.
Thanks mate. I missed on both HiB 2 and 3.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.

dammit guys...you are really making me quote every post aren't you?
Hope so, ruins the point of having a voting system in place if people just want free games.
yes.

If you were expecting a TF2 total war promo item, they went live a few minutes ago

Just to point out that if you bought the Groupees Be Mine bundle number 3, it included a key for Postal 2 complete. I'm not actually sure where you're supposed to use that key, but the greenlight page for the game that previous buyers with verifiable Postal 2 purchases will probably get a Steam key if the dev can manage it.

Damn, you really want that Postal 2 key, eh?
But what if...the game people are voting for on Greenlight (like Black Mesa) is itself going to be free for everyone? WHAT THEN. :O
I'm not really seeing a problem with it compared to the free games that are going to be hosted on Steam, unless people somehow feel that a for-pay game being hosted on Steam with low sales is bad. Valve gets the final word in regard to the game and the game quality either way.

I was just about to ask this. Thanks.

I'd love a straw hat or suspenders. Maybe some other stereotyped items.
It would be kind of hilarious if Valve started going through their store and picking the games that sell the least. "If this had some HATS we could make up for the popularity!"

I am actually quite shocked at how little interest there is in Carrier Command. It was released on Steam today and you wouldn't even know it if you look on Neogaf :-( . But hey who needs Carrier Command when there is Farming 2013.
got the key, thanks!
Does SSF4 Arcade Edition have a thriving online community on pc? I have a real urge for some street fighter and never got around to playing this version (played SF4). I really want to have a go with the new characters and all but the price seems way too high at £25. Would be more willing to pay something like £15

It's true. I remember enjoying the first game way back when, but it seems no one is interested in it now. I think Bohemia haven't marketed it very well (or at all, actually).

Ding ding. I remember there was hype when they released the first trailer. Would be surprised if they've done any advertising since then.
The Postal 2 key is for Desura, the digital distribution platform indies in these indie bundles tend to use when they can't get their game on Steam.
Yes.
Someone took it.

Call of Duty Black Ops for $19.99 on GameFly
http://www.gamefly.com/Download-Call-of-Duty-Black-Ops/150145/
Should I buy it? Knowing Activision, I don't think it will go cheaper! What do you think guys?

It's not going to get cheaper, but are you sure you want to jump into Blops right now?

Cheers. The Groupees page just says it's a "universal key", which is completely useless information. Desura isn't mentioned at all.

It's too expensive to just put it in your library and forget about it, but if you're actually going to play it right now, why not?
Leon Belmont
Member
Right now no, I'm playing like 3 games, so I think that's my answer
I think you are right, it's to expensive just to add it to my backlog, maybe next time!
Thanks guys!
It's gone. Thanks though.
I had no idea it was released today... I actually am interested in this but I didn't see any news or discussion about this game after it was announced.
The problem is that the game is just going to come on Steam because the devs are essentially bribing the community to vote for them.

Yeah, folks who got Humble Bundle 2 (or 3), Steam keys for Cortex Command is now available on the Humble Bundle pages in question. This is the sort of thing that the new Humble Collection really comes into its own. I really should shift through all my duplicate Humble Bundle keys and do a mega-giveaway at some point.
Bribing...by getting them a game that they want on their account. Which means there will be people on Steam who claim to want a game. Which means that there is some level of interest in a game.
Which means that a developer has convinced a userbase to vote on Greenlight, reflecting a level of interest in the game, which is precisely what Valve is looking for, right? I suggest Valve has enough data and smart people to know that not all votes will equal purchases, and hopefully they will turn away games if they look truly terrible in quality.
Even if 100% of the Greenlight votes for this game are people who just want to play it for free, and Valve decides the game quality is good enough...you end up with a game on Steam that maybe some people will play, and maybe some people will buy who didn't see it on Greenlight. What is bad about this situation? It doesn't hurt Valve any more than hosting Black Mesa or other free games, does it? In fact it should hurt them LESS if it's a niche game without many downloads, or a smaller game (less bandwidth than Black Mesa).
Bumping because it never got answered...
Or maybe it got answered, as in there isn't a thriving online community seeing as no one knew what the state of it is

You may want to double check the last page. It got answered.

I bought Carrier Command over a year ago. There was a pre-order beta.
