Can Valve please get software out of the New Game Releases tab. I know they're doing it for visibility but it's out of place.

I bought it and it seems to have went through. It paid with GBP through paypal.

It says it takes 15mins to get a cd key though.

EDIT: Worked.

All caps though? This is screwing with my OCD.
Thanks! And Bought. Love the Prototype games.

All the anger towards Valve putting software in the New Releases reminds me of this.

Do people seriously have a problem with this shit? Damn people will bitch about anything...
 
If you owned all the Total War games before the sale you should have just gotten the promo item, the Freedom Staff in TF2

If you owned Medieval II, you should have gotten a Medic Coat
If you owned Empire, you should have gotten a Spy Coat

looks like they're fixing their errors from the sale. Nice job Valve, always coming through in the end.

does owning them after the sale gets you the staff or would it be too late?

I have keys for:

Broken Sword Director's Cut
Broken Sword 2 : The Smoking Mirror
Broken Sword 3 : The Sleeping Dragon
Alien Breed 2
Alien Breed 3
Worms Crazy Golf

Quote which one you want and I'll PM you.
Do you still have Broken Sword DC?

nvm, just saw you don't. Thanks anyway for the giveaway!
 
Well... when an MMO reviews average, has very poor initial sales, poor subscriber retention, tanks the company stock, causes mass layoffs and changes in the project leadership and will almost certainly go F2P within months of release, I'm not sure what else to call it.

Well regardless of what the business end of it evokes, those of us paying for it and playing it are quite happy with what we're getting. I'll leave it at that.

I can't argue the issues with sales, layoffs, how it caused Funcom some big issues; but the doom over this game is infuriating, especially when people who haven't played it end up dismissing it with "wait until it goes free to play."

If you watch the video, it's kind of Trials-esque. That said, I could never get over the graphical style to give it a shot (and that was before the whole Brony scandal).

Ahh I see.

Why do gamers make a big deal about bronies?

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
Where are the nipples on the wolf?
It is a mammal, dammit. His shark one doesn't have nipples: just as GOD intended.

I demand sweaty nipples on my mammalian yaoi!

Edit: thought about it a bit more with my pants off and realized it is probably just a photoshopped version of his shark one.

Don't really care what you find infuriating because it doesn't change any of the facts. Many are expecting the game to go free to play so waiting for it to happen is actually pretty sound advice.

This new content system is garbage, at least I assume that's what it is since games never had to do this before. After a patch when I try to play something it has to do a "completing installation" procedure but now with Borderlands 2 I keep getting a servers are too busy thing. So I can't play my legally purchased games while I'm connected to the internet. They've somehow made their DRM worse lol.

that's just Borderlands 2 being funky, it's done that for me everytime I launch since release, patch or no patch

just play Blood Money, it's the only one that aged truly well, and it's fantastic
That's what I kept hearing, and it's why I only got Blood Money out of the Hitman deals. Will need to give another go sometime, but Thief will be a higher priority I think.

Yeah it's BL2 being weird and shit.

After extensive testing...

Steam Compact > Pixelvision

I dunno why but Steam Compact feels weird.

Is there a way to get game background images to work in detail view in steam compact? That's basically my only gripe with the otherwise flawless skin.

Is it just me or is that green bar telling you you already own a game missing from store pages now?

Its showing for me. Are you using steam's client or accessing steam's site from a browser? If its a browser, it might be because you have ad block?
 
After finishing Max Payne I didn't want to start MP2 so soon, just take a short glimpse...

Finished it earlier today.

Gawddamn.

*walks away*
*turns*

Gawddamn.

1 was already great but MP2 had some of the most intense shootouts. Shootdodging through a door, down the stairs fucking up cleaners in the hospital was so good.

I could have done without the escort missions but I didn't mind them as much. Nightmare sequences were also much better than MP1 because they had no fucking shitty platforming.

I'm not sure whether I want to move to MP3 just yet. Honestly, after reading some posts on GAF I don't think I can live with a non-noir Max Payne :(
 
The new "discussions" forum in the beta are so bad. Usually only a few threads available for older games. No need to fix what wasn't broken. Just make it easier to access the forums.
 
Anyone know when dishonored embargo is up? Still on the fence on that game. BTW, if anyone is looking for something to play atm pickup FIFA 13 and come play with us on Team GAF :) I know it's on origin and such but it's so much fun and only like $32 at GMG

Having replayed the real Max Payne games recently, I know that feeling all to well. On the other hand, MP3 does have Euphoria physics, so next time it's $20 I'll probably take the plunge.

That's roughly my breaking point as well. I think I have my expectations almost perfectly adjusted.

20$... Yeah, sounds good to me. Euphoria and the graphics are the only things I have real confidence in. I wonder if they were able to nail the shooting though.
