STEAM announcements & updates 2013 II - ITT we buy $1 games and complain about them

Doing a low chaos + Ghost + Clear Hands run in Dishonored atm and it gets so hilariously easy after you know every inch of all areas and how enemies behave. The
that lets you skip
is sweet.
Should be going for the Mostly Flesh and Steel achievement in this run too because maxed Blink is really all I need, but it was too late when I thought of it. Dark Vision does help in making the playthrough speedier though.

There's now a "Permanently delete gift..." button for DOTA 2 invites on the inventory page, probably ancient news by now but I thought it was funny. Coincided with me getting 4 new invites

For all we like to joke about buying games we will never play...remember there are people out there buying those cards to see their little level thing go up.

I've never received a single invite. I kind of take it personally every time I hear about it

Oh sorry. On another note I am tempted to start farming these cards now, I thought I could hold out but at a $1 ish a pop I could fund some serious game purchases if I farmed hard enough.
Edit: Nvm now I understand, you only get a limited amount of drops per game, so you can't farm them...

You don't know how lucky you are.
And yet when I told you the exact same thing while you were playing the game, you ignored me and went for a full stealth playthrough anyway
I did that so I could have fun with the game the second time through.
It was really a challenge? I played a no kill/ghost/only blink I (not to artificially make it difficult, but because the power is quite sufficient) and I only saved scummed maybe 3-5 times for the entire campaign. It's mechanics is a very well designed arcade system so finding out and pushing the limits of the system is quite satisfying in itself.
On the flip side, I'm currently going through a high chaos run with all powers, and the game is way too easy. There is a write up I'm thinking of doing about the issues with power/weapon design in games like this and MGS4, but that is probably better suited for a different thread.
Well, I actually meant it as a joke, but if you're up to it, I'll take your offer one of these days. I only have the first game (GOTY edition), and I'm on the second section/world/hub (lvl 21 I think).
...boy, back in the USSR.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
I'll get it up in the next few days. I've just been really busy lately.
Perhaps you'll be able to buy a dictionary with that money
So are you really Gabe? Let me see... Morningbus has 3 vowels... three...
Oh shit, Half-Life 3 is actually coming!

Did you get the reward tiers?
Is Lost Planet in your library?
Is the Season Pass attached to your game?

Ordered from GMG :<
Steam's reward tiers are for Steam pre-orders exclusively, and Lost Planet hasn't unlocked yet (it just went up a percent to 97%).

Well I have Dirt 2, Dirt 3, F1 2011, and Bulletstorm as well, but I don't feel I put enough time into them to warrant a mention.
No problems with those games either by the way.
I know, I was just checking to see if they had automatically unlocked when the game unlocked.
That would be the proof we needed.
But it was from GMG so its completely moot.
Now I'm going to bed, night guys. Afternoon, Jase.
I used to be one of the privileged few that had no troubles with GFWL. Then Arkham City took my save and it was all downhill from there. It takes several minutes for GFWL to even load up when I want to play something.
Ah. Who knows, maybe the 103% the bar currently lacks will appear over the next 33 hours.
Edit: It's further away still in the UK:

More like "tsunSteam", since "tsun" is the "amass" part, and "doku" is the "reading" part.
積んSteam. Oh yeah.
Used Google Translate to see what it should be.
(Note: I am not expert in the Japanese language)
Tsunsteam would be the "correct" word
Tsun means piled according to Google Translate. Someone help me >.<
Edit: Someone did already help me

I keep getting a fatal error when running SSFIVAE. I've looked up the error, and it seems to happen with Win8 and/or GFWL Marketplace. As far as I can tell there aren't any other workarounds.
Let's amass some dere.

I had a feeling I got it wrong.
Now all you need is the tag "Tsunsteam".
Tsunsaoirse
Which is the only reason they're still worth anything. That and requiring you need another half a deck to craft. They not only limited supply, but found a devious way to also create demand.

At least they managed to make the first two stay together. Let's wait to see where in the library the fourth game will pop-up.
I can't comment on the other Hitman games because I haven't played them but I will say that the actual enemy intelligence in this one seems wildly inconsistent (perhaps this is to encourage the use of Instinct?). One minute they completely ignore you while the next they can spot you from from around corners. This is made even worse by the crammed and far too busy level design.
By "too busy" I mean almost Assassins Creed level of civilian characters running around, which could potentially hurt your score. Then there is the JJ Abrams/Battlefield 3 flashlight level of lens flare that burns my eyes at random intervals. Which is a real shame because when that isn't going on the game is really impressive visually.
This, like LA Noire is good on paper but actually playing it is an exercise in frustration. Perhaps they attempted to do too much here?
Mark of the Ninja is one of my favorite games from recent memory. That game works because the enemy intelligence is not so much predictable as it is consistent. It introduces each enemy type that is governed by a set of rules but at the same time are intelligent. Also, the fact that the game instantly loads when you restart is a huge plus for a stealth game because honestly, who wants to sit around and wait 1.5 minutes while these 3d environments load?
And I agree, stealth games are partially trial and error but the rules and environment need to be clear for it to work. This sadly didn't seem to be the case for me and my time spent with Hitman.

Are you able to run other GFWL games under Windows 8? http://steamcommunity.com/app/209120/discussions/0/864949719215315333/

I was going to make a Lovely Bones joke, but I've decided we're all better off if I don't.
