Cool Sanctum is the daily deal but only the game and the full pack is on sale, the individual towers and maps are still .99/1.99....I want to buy the DLC maps but not at $2 EACH

 

[morningbus]

I didn't like it until I played with morningbus and bodied the entire team on our own. GFWL was horrible during the beta, I hope they worked on that.

Dude, shit was free.

 

[Iadien]

coupon gone.

 

[Volcynika]

Dude, shit was free.

Is GFWL worth free?

 

[JaseC]

Check your sata cables. Sometimes the cable connected to the socket on my motherboard gets loose from me bumping the case.

Checking the internal ports is the last thing I want to do as Abit's motherboard designers are terrible at their job. If the drive disappears again, though, I won't have much of a choice.

The same thing happened to me last week, and it looks like my HDD is gone for good. I've tried everything, even moving it to another PC.

Btw, my first post on Gaf, after I've been lurking for the last year

I have a storied history with drives dying whilst under my care. IIRC, my previous Steam drive walked the proverbial plank around 6 months ago.

Welcome to GAF!

Is GFWL worth free?

Nope.

I'd pay to get rid of it.

 

[1-D_FTW]

Which IMO is the fundamental problem. I don't see how it's anything but doomed on PC (especially for anyone who played the beta and was hoping against hope it wouldn't suck with Live).

 

[FloppyDelux]

apparently darkness 2 is only 6 hours...still gonna get it though

 

[goober]

System requirements for Gotham City Impostors?

Also, is the beta free?

 

[jediyoshi]

Is a lot of DLC.

Ah the fundamental difference between game companies A and B. One tries to add value and give players a reason to come and play. The other tries to milk players for their money while the product is popular until everyone loses interest.

They must be really hoping that Batman license does well for them.

 

[AngryChinchilla]

this just showed up in my games list

 

[Joe Molotov]

Probably Half-Life 3 Beta.

 

[JaseC]

Half-Life 3, to be released on 20/63/10.

Edit: D'oh. Too slow.

 

[AngryChinchilla]

Then it changed to this. Weird, I didn't tell it to download anything.

 

[BarrenMind]

If anyone purchased DCS: Black Shark during the sale last Sunday, try running the game now. I just got a response from Steam support that the CD Keys should now be available.

 

[jediyoshi]

Then it changed to this. Weird, I didn't tell it to download anything.

Interesting, seems like you can force the demo to install steam://install/206310 but the store page doesn't exist yet

 

[morningbus]

Is GFWL worth free?

To clarify, I was using the fighting game scene's definition of free. As in, shit was mad easy bro.

GFWL isn't even worth it if I'm being paid.

 

[JordanKZ]

Anyone running the beta update able to preload (if it's even up yet) Kingdoms of Amalur? Steam seems to think it's already downloaded despite the fact that I literally just bought it.

EDIT: Rolled back to current latest version and it's still doing the same thing. T_T

 

[Spectacular Dr Dawg]

I've been playing Splinter Cell and I just can't get past this area. I always land barely on the edge and fall down and there's nothing I can do about it. I tried loading an earlier save but it didn't help.
Is this a known bug or am I just too stupid to figure out what to do?

 

[Dog Problems]

Shank 2 was updated on the registry and Crusader Kings II will have a preorder.

Yeah, according to Joystiq, Shank 2 should be out on Thursday.

 

[ArjanN]

Yeah, according to Joystiq, Shank 2 should be out on Thursday.

No, it's out tomorrow. It says so in the latest trailer, and on the countdown on the official site.

 

[jediyoshi]

Beta client here, no preload either. Unless they've said differently, I wouldn't hold out hope for a Steam preload at this point.

No, it's out tomorrow. It says so in the latest trailer, and on the countdown on the official site.

(and on Joystiq)

 

[Dog Problems]

No, it's out tomorrow. It says so in the latest trailer, and on the countdown on the official site.

Ah, they must have fixed it. It said Thursday at one point.

 

[MRORANGE]

I'm guessing the developers of shank are a EA partner rather than a studio under EA?

SR:TT Valentine's Day Offer
http://www.saintsrow.com/news/detail/article/252706/sr:tt_valentines_day_offer

Chocolate covered strawberries and a dozen roses may sound like a good present for your Valentine this year, but what if you were to surprise that special someone with the gift of dildo bats and gimp su-- wait, that came out wrong.

Regardless, from now until the end of Valentine's Day, if you purchase a copy of Saints Row: The Third from the THQ Store on any platform, you will get a coupon for 50% off the purchase of a second copy for any platform, welcoming your one-and-only (or a complete stranger) to the city of Steelport alongside you. To get in on this deal though, here are the best steps to take.

1. Add a single copy of Saints Row: The Third to your cart on the THQ Shop.
2. In your cart, you will see your copy of the game, along with the special 50% off coupon.
3. Proceed through checkout, and the coupon will become active.
4. Now, using that coupon code, head back to the THQ Shop and add your second copy of the game to your cart.
5. In the cart, insert the coupon code for 50% off this second purchase in the proper location, then check out.

Yes, it takes a little extra effort, but in the end, you'll be able to get two copies of Saints Row: The Third at up to $30 cheaper, depending on your platform of choice. Please note that this offer is only valid for those located in the US or Canada.

Yeup.

Arrgh, A friend would love that, but only US and Canada again

 

[ArjanN]

Ah, they must have fixed it. It said Thursday at one point.

I think one of the console versions might be a day or two later, I forget.

 

[Dog Problems]

I think one of the console versions might be a day or two later, I forget.

Oh, that's probably what I saw then. I figured it was the same day for all of them.

[Rufus]

Mine went down but came back up.

Wait till you get old.

...pedantry and a daft knob joke. Time for bed.

 

[lfvgt]

Yep, it's down. Seems to happen every other day, nothing to worry about as it'll be back in less than an hour.

 

[Leon Belmont]

No problem at all!

 

[morningbus]

Woah, I thought there would be far more spamming going on here.

People are waiting to snipe it.
