Ill ask again; Anyone from the US to help us get a 4-Pack of Sonic Racers on GMG?

 

[DunderHassan]

OT : I've been wondering about this for a while now but what does the circled S means next to a person on TF2Outpost ?

That means the user is a donator.
IIRC there are green, orange and blue levels for donators, which give you some benefits like autobumping trades and higher limit for amount of trades.
Apparently donation is closed now, which is why we don't see any info about it.

 

[Nillansan]

How do 4-packs bought from the Humble Store work? Eyeing that Hammerfall Hammerwatch... (good grief)

Do you get four different URLs—one yours, three gifts?

Yup.

I got a new PC recently, and I'm getting super deep into Steam; figured this is the place I'll spend most of my time so I thought I should introduce myself.

No better way to introduce oneself, than to copy what everybody else is doing..

So on that note, hello and good luck.

Just quote this message and paste the quote in the thread:

Silly me, I've been looking at my Steam download speeds sitting at ~250KB/s for the past couple of hours, wondering what the heck is wrong... and only just noticed I had, for some reason, previously throttled downloads to 256KB/s. I could've been, like, PLAYING something new had I noticed that sooner. (still, it's a nice feature)

Hi folks, I'm new around here. Been a lurker for quite a while but after seeing how great the community in here is (not to mention the sheer generosity throughout the sale which appears to be continuing) I figured I'd finally get around to registering and join in the fun.

Hey scokem - welcome to SteamGAF.

Rumour has it that the Google Docs community will soon rebel against Dunder's dominant presence, and force him out.

Yep, that's some entrance, StWilson - welcome.

I bought a copy of this today (thanks again, Beast), but by all accounts, it belongs in everyone's Steam library - so it'll find a happy home, I'm sure.

What a way to introduce yourself! I'm going to enter as well, though I don't think I actually will be eligible. Just got a new PC myself, and have been too busy playing games instead of actually posting in Steam threads .

You're lucky to live in a place where 250 Kb/s is slow. That is the average speed where I live.

[Dolor]

Oh what I wouldn't give for a Steam handheld with Nintendo and Atlus games :/

Has there been any more news about the potential for Steam mobile hardware? "Littlefoot" is what I think it was codenamed.

I think a cheap Linux x86 tablet that runs Steam would be really nice option for me. It doesn't have to run all AAA games, but if it could run indie games and light strategy games (e.g. Civ or X-Com), I'd be sold for one.

[RionaaM]

it really boils down to having enough patience and play carefully, the difficulty mainly comes from traps and carelessly falling off the maps, etc, it's not comparable to action games because the combat is a lot slower. Unless you messed up your character stats or playing as lvl1, it's not too bad. You will die here and there but the bonfire system is pretty forgiving for the most part, but I guess compared to some modern games, that's enough to turn some people off who "has no time to replay a section if he dies".

Or who don't want to deal with enemies that take half your life bar with a single hit. Or going the wrong way and being obliterated by a skeleton/knight. Or having a

Spoiler

dragon attack you from out of nowhere, killing you with a single fire breath.

I don't know, of course I suck at it, but it was too frustrating.

 

[oipic]

You're lucky to live in a place where 250 Kb/s is slow. That is the average speed where I live.

It wasn't so long ago that I felt your pain (certain parts of Australia had quite a wait for decent broadband deployments), and even in relative terms, the 1.5MB/s or so that I now typically see for Steam downloads is probably very slow compared to many others here!

Where are you based, Slyjss?

 

[Slyjss]

Revenge of the Titans just got cards, so I guess there will be some more games updated today.

Just did my first transaction with Dunder at his shop and it was easy peasy and fast too (Castlevania). Hopefully he'll be able to get some copies of Rayman Legends soon.

Point 1. I agree for any game. Nothing more annoying than being quickly pwned and then have to go running back thinking "what went wrong"? only for it to happen again :/

Point 2. Haven't played much of the game because according to my time spent in Demon Souls I really do need to be in the right mood. But the harder enemies don't have signs like glowing eyes?

Point 3 just sounds like fun times

 

[Terra_Ex]

Wow, I won Sonic, thanks a lot StWilson85, will check it out later!

Not just you, its been really slow lately.

Where are you based, Slyjss?

In a town in Spain. In some cities you can get 1 Mb/s, but in the majority of places the infrastructures haven't been updated in ages. Basically there's an ISP, Telefonica, which is almost a monopoly and doesn't even care about the service, and the only few who provide a better service don't have the resources to reach everyone. I am lucky, though, as the connection is not fast but it's reliable. In some rural towns getting a 24/7 connection is a miracle.

 

[Nillansan]

Wonderful. Thanks for the enlightenment.

Sorry, I forgot to mention that you and the folks that you are gifting Hammerwatch to, need to sign into their Humble account in order to 'claim' the link. Just click your respective links and once you are on the Humble Hammerwatch page, just sign in to claim it.

 

[wilflare]

i fell asleep after a long day. lol. what did i miss.
for a moment I thought Dunder gave JaseC Divinity xD

on my MBP now, my PC is taken apart.. was blowing out the chalks of dust zzz

I don't know, of course I suck at it, but it was too frustrating.

The

Spoiler

dragon attack

is the only time so far where I was killed 'unfairly'. Usually, even if you take the wrong path and do end up facing huge enemies that you're clearly not meant to fight right now, you can still block or dodge their attacks and they don't kill you in one hit - you get a chance to escape. And even if you don't, and you die, you can go back to reclaim the souls you lost. The game knows it's 'severe' but it always gives you ways to succeed

Of course it does require a lot of patience and persistence, it's not for everyone - not liking the game or finding it too frustrating isn't a sign of weakness or anything, I can't survive for 10 seconds in Ninja Gaiden's harder modes for example - but it does what it intends to do perfectly imo.

No idea if there are tell-tale signs about what the enemies are going to do next. I played 4 hours, spent 80% of that time running to my corpse, and decided the game wasn't for me. I'd still like to try it again, but I don't believe I'll enjoy it.

 

[JaseC]

Dishonored is currently downloading a 915MB patch at my end. I assume it's the Brigmore Witches DLC assets.

Revenge of the Titans cards haven't even been officially announced and they're already at 0.14 € (and dropping). This must be a new record.

The problem is people start undercutting as soon as they get the cards, forgetting that the people who want to buy the cards will a) be in the game themselves trying to get them and b) waiting for prices to drop anyway. So the prices get driven down because people want to sell before the prices drop too low, and it becomes this vicious cycle that leads to cards being worth very little. Then when everyone's drops are used up people can swoop in, grab the few cards they want at a low price, and everyone complains that the market has crashed.

Very kind of you fellow GAFfer PriitV .

Part of me is really curious for the Halloween Sale. Halloween is not a common celebration in here but it's been getting more fame. However, what I like regarding the sale is that they do some decent Point & Click sales in it!

If this trends continues, nobody will be able to make real money with cards, although the price is ideal to complete collections. I recently crafted Saints Row 3, System Shock 2 and Indie Game: The Movie badges by selling very few cards. Well, I guess I'll never sell a card for 3 € again.

True, but that just suggests that the true "value" of a card is something like 7-10p, there's no reason that people should be able to make money from the cards after all. It's supply and demand, and there's lots of supply where people have made no initial investment.

Edit: actually, the price of the game is the initial investment I suppose, but seeing as the cards are being given freely on top of that I don't really think that counts. People certainly shouldn't be buying games just to sell the cards.

 

[Nymphae]

Did they stop giving you cards for every $10 spent? I thought this was still happening after the sale? I bought almost $40 worth of games this weekend didn't any cards for them.
