[didamangi]

Yeah, I've got all that done. I had my account stolen over 3 years ago and that took a painful five days.

Wondering if it's any faster now - I'd hate to spend the weekend checking the support ticket rather than actually playing.

Never been in your situation so I dunno if it's faster now, but steam support always answer my question within a day.

You don't have any other game to play that doesn't require steam, origin or uplay? xD

 

[catabarez]

Anyone want to split that sonic pack on Amazon with me?

 

[ChoklitReign]

Is it just me or does Game Save Manager (a third party tool) not recognize a lot of game save locations? It doesn't recognize any of these games:

Binary Domain
Dark Souls
SR3
The Walking Dead

Heck, two of them are known for buggy saves and need to be backed up.

 

[wazoo]

What is the option "add to game explorer" in the contextual menu in steam app ?

 

[Santiako]

How is Magicka? Any good?

ps If anyone has a spare Brazen key, I'll love to try it out.

Do you have the new version (3) updated with the latest files? Those games are recognized for me.

 

[Brazil]

It's fun if you've got friends to play it with. I wouldn't recommend if you're planning on jumping in solo.

Thanks, I'll pass then.

 

[ThoseDeafMutes]

Yes but having played from launch I keep getting bothered that they overhauled various major mechanics and started introducing all sorts of ridiculous DLC. It's hard to keep up for an old man like me but you'll probably have a blast if you jump on.

Warning though, online play may be shit and laggy even for people in the same city as you.

I don't know about those particular games but GameSave Manager didn't work too well for me. I had to manually back up most of my saves when I got a new computer.

BD, SR3 and TWD all use Steam Cloud, you have to manually set GSM to backup Steam cloud enabled saves as it doesn't do so by default for obvious reasons.

Dark Souls uses GFWL which is a bit more complicated to back up, but should work.

 

[ChoklitReign]

It's outdated; I guess that explains it.

 

[Ledsen]

What did you have problems with? Works perfectly for me, but you do have to change some settings to make it optimal. After you do that you shouldn't have any problems.

 

[YianGaruga]

Works fantastically for me as well.
I don't like the frequency with which it updates, which is pretty much every time I start the program, but the backup itself is super fast and painless and goes directly into my Dropbox.

Been playing this. Think twin stick shooter mixed with Zuma / Luxor, chains and all, of which there is a well voice acted Biological story about the spread of a virus and apparently the match chains are DNA. Additionally you can customize your play experience though in game ship upgrades. Well worth that Gamefly price. No brainer.

 

[Kabouter]

What is the option "add to game explorer" in the contextual menu in steam app ?

Game explorer is that Windows thing that keeps shortcuts for all the games you have installed. Adding it to that will add a shortcut to the game there. It's quite pointless.

 

[Xyber]

I don't know if this is well known here, but I'll just post it anyway for those who don't know. You can launch Big Picture Mode by holding down the guide button on your 360 controller for about 5 seconds. Steam doesn't even have to be the active window.

Aw yeah!! They just have to get the steam window to minimize to tray again on exit now and it will be perfect.

 

[Tc91]

So I got 5 more Dota keys that makes 7 in total.

Anybody need a key hit me up on Steam. : Affixlol

 

[Gaspode_T]

So happy to see Dead Pixels up on Steam ... great price for a great game, worth buying if you are a fan of games like River City Ransom/Scott Pilgrim (it is a little more gun oriented but how you navigate town and shops is somewhat obviously influenced by RCR )

 

[mannerbot]

What did you have problems with? Works perfectly for me, but you do have to change some settings to make it optimal. After you do that you shouldn't have any problems.

I didn't tweak settings or anything, I just ran it and I saw a big list of game names and figured it would be great. As it turned out, basically none of the saves I actually wanted (to be fair, mostly small or indie games) were backed up.

 

[FlutterPuffs]

Hey guys, you can get a GMG 35% code if you do their survey.

.....Or get it here: WINTR-SRVEY-42012

Heh, I thought they'd give out unique codes. Guess not. It's single use per account and valid until Jan 1st, so write it down somewhere and don't forget about it.

Still you should do the survey, it might help improve the service and takes like 5 minutes

[Risgroo]

Sweet, I took the GMG survey, which means it's time to preorder Dead Space 3. It's not coming to Steam, right?

 

[BoosterDuck]

Sweet, I took the GMG survey, which means it's time to preorder Dead Space 3. It's not coming to Steam, right?

Nope. Only sites that sell Origin games.

 

[Grief.exe]

I would be careful. The word of mouth around that game is pretty poor.

35% discount is not uncommon, would wait closer to release or even after. EA game prices seem to drop like a rock.

That's nice. Early in the beta, you didn't need the Steam window open to launch BPM but they blocked that with a patch.

 

[Nabs]

Dead Space 3 will be 50% off a month or two after release.

 

[AngmarsKing701]

I would love a Brazen key if you still got 'em! It looks awesome!

Why can't I find Brazen when I search for it on Steam?

Thanks. After picking up Guild Wars 2 from GMG yesterday, my fundage was pretty cut in half. I get one more chunk before the sale starts, so I'm going into the sale with about $75.

Hope that's enough for X-COM, Fallen Enchantress, Chivalry and maybe one or two others.

Yeah, the VA and story is oddly interesting so far. Sold me pretty quick from the demo.

 

[Tizoc]

Wait what exactly are those games in the DF Humble Bundle?

Also what's the new daily deal?

[Last Baron]

Also what's the new daily deal?

Tryst | -50% off | $12.49

The title reminded me of "Pyst", an incredibly terrible raunch comedy spoof of Myst.

 

[SapientWolf]

Whelp, just finished Hotline Miami in one sitting.

- One freeze while loading one of the chapters, but otherwise no technical issues
- Personally didn't have any issues with the visual effects that some people have gotten nauseous from
- Playthough clocked in at around 5 hours with a snack break in between
- Kind of game that sucks you in and you keep right on trying after each death
- Some of the collision detection needs work, especially at point blank
- Certain cutscenes are unskippable - very annoying to have to keep watching them after each death
- People who can't appreciate Tarrantino films may be put off by the graphic violence

I liked it a lot, but I did feel like I was fighting the controls somewhat. Maybe I'm just imagining it, but it almost feels like the game has autoaiming (I don't mean the scroll wheel), where the game is trying to wrest control of the reticle away from me when it's near an enemy. Or maybe it's the huge pixels that causes aiming to jump and not be smooth.

My main problem with Hotline is that the background (i.e. the gaudy floor, dead bodies, the blood, etc) is the exact same color palette as the foreground (i.e. pickups, the people trying to kill you, etc.). And there's almost no HUD so sometimes I forget what weapon I'm carrying. But it's still one of the best action games of the year. So good.

well shit

you have to hold it a long ass time tho


edit: holy crap at Ravaged for a dollar, lmao. Game was $20 when it released like 3 weeks ago

It's 70% off for me, $7.49. Says 50% off on the store frontpage but 70% off when you click on the game's storepage.

This is my favorite part of Garry-gate.

What region are you in? Shows 50% all around for me.

Actually, $25 lol

 

[Wok]

I am going to start playing Metro 2033 and I have found a way to skip the intro movies on the SPUF which consists in replacing content.upk9 with the one in an archive called Metro_2033_No_Intro_Fix. I don't know how legal or virus-safe this method is. Has someone already tried this?

 

[Joe Molotov]

I was wondering where everyone was getting all the extra Brazen codes, I didn't notice they gave everyone 4 copies of it. I didn't even beat the average and they gave me 4 copies, lol.

 

[SapientWolf]

They disabled the demo and suddenly all the servers were empty. And then, panic.

It kind of reminds me of Homefront's MP in larger maps.

 

[Blizzard]

Tryst has such nice review quotes picked for their page, but such a terrible review average.

Here's something I thought was neat. The current set of games at the top of the Steam store window are rather a nice variety, not all the same style/genre. Please forgive the lack of alignment since I pasted them all in by hand.

 

[Betta Lines]

Is it me, or does Steam have to 'update the platform' every time I sign in these days? It never takes more than a minute or so, but still it's kinda annoying.

 

[Stallion Free]

I am strangely drawn to Mabinogi.
