I'll be disappointed if it didn't have GFWL, I actually liked collecting achievements for Asylum and City, its nice to show 1000/1000 gamerscore.

 

[Mavromatis]

I got your back, buddy. Let's show them. Let's show them all.

Opera is a great browser. Tell them DS:

 

[randomkid]

A while back I made a list of 360 exclusive games that I really enjoyed here:
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=42194928&postcount=215

(it includes XBLA stuff as well). A few of the games in question have since been ported somewhere else, but most of them are still true.

stump. you have a tales game listed. i thought you were the only one who hated tales more than me. what is happening here.

 

[nexen]

I had no idea! Thank you, nexen! I love those games. I have the Xbox version, and I had also been playing the arcade version via MAME during "work" hours (it's so tempting to just Alt-Tab, blow some stuff up and get back to whatever disoriented, and repeat till the day is over.)

You are welcome rookiejet! It is on ios as well, as I just found out today from Xelios.
I'm glad that this knowledge will contribute to eroding your "work" ethic!

sickening.

I'll be honest, I'm a little hesitant to just add random keys to my profile.

Don't want to be stuck with some weird games. Get enough of that from the bundles I used to add.

 

[nexen]

sickening.

I am also guilty, but I do concede that GFWL does suck ... for some people.

One day it will probably suck for us all.

 

[rookiejet]

Isn't current Opera webkit based, or atleast stable is planned to switch to webkit (specifically Chrome's implementation of) at some point?

 

[need4speed]

sickening.

I used to buy games from the GFWL store all the time, I though it was the bomb.

At least the games were DRM free....

 

[derFeef]

Guys State of Decay if pretty fantastic, when it will eventually come to PC you will be in for a treat. And I will double-dip!

Note: We will need a new thread in about 10 days if we continue to post like this.

I would prefer if someone else take the role of creating the Steam Thread, I've run this joint for years and it's time to move on.

It's been fun browsing this staple thread.

Bye for now.

YES MY FRIEND. 2014 will be the year of Opera.

May get delayed to 2015. Or 17.

Correct, they're changing to Blink and building a brand new browser in the process. http://my.opera.com/desktopteam/blog/ Not sure yet if I like this tbh.

What?

GFWL has been one of the most egregious forms of DRM we have seen.

And unless you can't read between the lines we might have a problem within the year whether GFWL games even function anymore.

Its not a question of if the service will ever be shutdown, its when. And where does that leave our games?

 

[need4speed]

Except they weren't.

It didn't need to client to be opened, you could play games without a internet connection without needing a unreliable offline mode and the game could be copied to any computer, and you could create offline profile for GFWL games too

source: I tested it.

Threads have post count limits. Time stands still for no Orange.

WHAT ABOUT OPERA? WANT A FIGHT???

the day something other than opera.com works alright in that browser I'll happily give it another try

I would be down.

It did need a client to be open and it opened it, just because it didn't have a nice window like Steam doesn't mean it doesn't exist. For both Steam and GFWL you needed to register your game once with the client and you can play offline afterwards. GFWL had lots of problem at creating that profile and Steam had problems with offline mode. You can copy any game you have to any machine you have with Steam too. And creating offline GWFL killed features and was generally well hidden.

Unless you're trying to inflate your game count, there is no reason to buy a vanilla Batman game.

I have yet to play any Batman DLC. But I'm not buying it until its sub $10 anyways. That'll take about 3 months.

I have yet to play any Batman DLC either, but that's because I have the vanilla game and the DLC got pulled from Steam. I mean, I could spend 800 moon dollars to get it, but, honestly, shit like this just gives the pro-piracy argument a leg to stand on.

Tryst is currently 95% off on Steam, making it $1.24 for the base game, $1.49 for the premium edition and $2.99 for a 4-pack.

If you own the premium edition of Tryst you will now own the new Survival DLC.

For a second thought this was related to Myst >.> Then remembered that was Pyst lol

Just 75% when I checked.

Also, I'm disappointed that a game called "Tryst" is an RTS. With a name like that, you'd expect some Catherine-type stuff. Makes about as much sense as naming a clothing store "Fresh Produce."

 

[xelios]

Ridge Racer: Unbounded is $4.80 on GMG with the 20% discount voucher GMG20-JLKSA-7A8HA.

Inversion (NA) is $5.44 on GMG with the same voucher.

EU link.

Still -95% for me (USA).

APOX - $3.74 and related are also 75% off on Steam.

USA also. Maybe you're seeing a different price because you already own it?

Gfwl was much more lighter in its presence in that it launched simultaneously with the game and exited alongside it. Can be more preferable depending on how much overhead you're willing to deal with as far as the clients went. If gfwl and steam were to both go down right now,I imagine there'd be a bit less hassle to get into a gfwl game, switch profiles, etc

 

[Mavromatis]

Repeating:

By the way I have:

50% OFF Dawn of Fantasy: Kingdom Wars

50% OFF Guns of Icarus Online

75% OFF Nexuiz 4-Pack

coupons.

I just want Skyrim Deluxe Edition in return of them. I can add a Dota 2 to the deal if needed.

Spoiler

Just kidding, find me on steam to get one of them.

You and your threads will be missed. I already noticed that you weren't posting as often anymore.

 

[Stop It]

Could be some type of loyalty stacking discount I guess. It's purchasable as a gift, so if anyone wants it 95% off I suppose ask someone who owns it to buy it for you.

In which case I would gladly PP you money for it when you're next about on Steam for the Premium edition etc? Much kittens to you if you could!

I don't know for sure but can you play with an online profile offline? Also that Live Sign-in thing and other stuff it forced on your pc wasn't light. But you are right about the first, Steam doesn't go away when you exit the game.

 

[Caerith]

Thanks, Xelios. (But the store still shows it at 75%, so what sort of discount are you getting?)

Edit: Friend 7extonly told me the answer. If you own APOX you get an additional 20% off Tryst.

Oh, that explains it.

[Stop It]

Xelios, you're not getting away that easy. Quick, someone PM me his PP address or something.

(Also, You're awesome and I will remember you during the Summer sale at the very least)

 

[jediyoshi]

Not 100% sure. But creating and using an offline made profile is so oddly straightforward, I don't think it treats the two very differently.

 

[Ledsen]

RionaaM (and anyone else using Opera) will be glad to know that Enhanced Steam extension has been officially released (and quickly updated to v1.01 which was required for me to have it work with main Steam page).

Available here: https://addons.opera.com/en-gb/extensions/details/enhanced-steam/

FUCK YES thank you. That was the only thing Opera was lacking. It's now ascended to Browser Nirvana.

 

[Mavromatis]

7extonly told me the answer. If you own APOX you get an additional 20% off Tryst.

Edit: Grr

Good news is that Apox is %75 on sale too. Bad news is I don't care for either games

 

[Dice]

Ridge Racer: Unbounded is $4.80 on GMG with the 20% discount voucher GMG20-JLKSA-7A8HA.

omg even I would be down for this

 

[Stop It]

7extonly told me the answer. If you own APOX you get an additional 20% off Tryst.

Edit: Grr

Ah, and of course, that's probably why Steam's discount stacking needs looking at.

$24.99 - 75% with an extra 20% off would be $5 approx but Valve do not use discounting how normal retailers do, heh. Still, awesome price!

Edit: As partial Karma balancing for this, if anyone wants a Spacechem key, pm me!

 

[Mavromatis]

Not 100% sure. But creating and using an offline made profile is so oddly straightforward, I don't think it treats the two very differently.

As far as I know you couldn't switch your save games from offline to online or vice versa. That's why I never tried offline profile.

 

[RionaaM]

Opera is a great browser. Tell them DS:

Yeah, well, I admit the Wii version is not too good. Like, not at all. And the newest version for Android is literally a piece of shit (yes, with the smell and shape and texture and everything).

But on PC it's the best browser there is, and it has been ever since I started using it 12 years ago.

I use Opera Mini for iOS, it's okay I guess.

Assuming the new Batman game is Steamworks, there won't ever be a second version of the game and DLC will never disappear from the store like GFWL DLC did.

It didn't need to client to be opened, you could play games without a internet connection without needing a unreliable offline mode and the game could be copied to any computer, and you could create offline profile for GFWL games too

You have an awful specific vision of what DRM entails.
