Sonic racing transformed is fun!

Spoiler

I know you know

but I somehow get impression that it's meant to be played with a controller. Is it?

Your using a KB and mouse...For a racing game.....?

Slowly but surely.

In all likelihood I'll cancel it to make more room for the Autumn Sale, but we'll see.

Not sure if posted, but looks like steam wallet trading is coming soon.

I do, you can faint now (><)

Huh. Just found a Hotline Miami booster pack waiting for me when I logged in. Am I better off unpacking it or just going ahead and selling?

I don't see why this is attractive. We already can gift games.

 

[Stephen_drewz]

Games with a launcher should really have an option to skip the launcher for use in BPM.

Currently playing on my laptop to tv;

Witcher 2
Sleeping Dogs
Sonic Generations

Currently has a launcher which makes me get up anyway;
Witcher 2
Sonic Generations

The pro-tip is if you take long enough to preface a post with "not sure if posted" then it has been certainly posted already.

The steam gaf ninjas do not sleep.

Attractive for Valve since you are not using external methods like paypal. Instead you are cashing in Valve bucks.

Boosters can drop foils but are worth more unpacked for this reason, so you need to decide if you want to take the chance.

It'll allow me to bypass PayPal's terrible exchange rates when purchasing gifts through other GAFers.

if you wanna "sell" a game for X reason rather than gift it, you don't have to go through shitty paypal?

I also sometimes have a hard time finding a game a specific friend would want gifted and i'd have no issue sending them a "steam money gift" instead

 

[Arthea]

But wait, what about steam exchange rates? Paypal isn't worse. Or is it?
I judge looking into prices of games mostly.

I highly doubt they'll take a fee of you sending money to another person. At least not as high as the market takes.

that begs the question tho: why if instead of selling an item I just send it to that guy and that guy sends me the money so valve doesnt take a fee!

so yeah, we'll see how this works if it ever comes to fruition

There probably wouldn't also be the terrible charge associated with accounts not linked to bank accounts

 

[Tellaerin]

There are times when it'd be nice to throw a little Steam cash at someone, either as a gift (a la gift cards - "Here's $20, buy yourself something you'll like") or because they're a hair short of what they need to buy something ("It's $5, but you've only got $4 left in your wallet? I just dumped a couple of cards, so I'll send you a buck.")

 

[JaseC]

Us Aussies, though we're charged in USD, can purchase Steam Wallet codes locally at face cost (e.g. a $50 code = AUD$50 rather than ~$55). So, for instance, if I owed Dunder $15, I could just purchase a $20 code locally and take the money out of that rather than allowing PayPal to screw me on the exchange rate. (I'd still have $5 left over, of course, but I'd spend it sooner rather than later, anyway.)

Reposting for new page.

Random question: a couple of months ago I bought Dragon Age Origins and Awakening during a Steam sale, and then activated the CD keys on Origin. I couldn't buy the Ultimate edition from Steam since that edition isn't available where I live, so I'll most likely buy the Ultimate edition from Origin.

So if I buy the Ultimate edition, what will happen to my existing DAO and Awakening licenses? Do they get upgraded to the Ultimate edition? Do they get replaced by the Ultimate edition (meaning a new license code)? Or does the Ultimate edition sit in the library alongside the regular DAO edition?

What do you get exactly from the Ultimate edition anyway? I know it includes all the DLC, but how is that delivered? Are you given a code for the DLC to activate them on the Bioware Social Network? If so, will the DLC work with the Steam version of DAO? (even if the Steam and Origin versions of the game have different license codes?)

Highlighted. It's like having 2 copies of the game.

OK, so my question now is how does the DLC work. Is it downloaded from the client? Or do you have to go through the BSN to get it?

[cicero]

When I play through a game, I like to be thorough. I even completed the utterly ridiculous side-mission where you had to herd a bunch of insolent pigs.

ah, you mean the Redcoat officers?

 

[Acccent]

Yep, sorry!

(I guess you can participate for fun but you won't be able to win KRZ - I'll announce it if you find the correct picture before the actual contestants though)

Haha, nah, actual pigs, not figurative pigs.

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

Guys.

Stop me.

I'm about to buy cards (with Gabens).

But Trine 2 is $2.99 and I have $2.57; I'm a monster.

 

[liezryou]

Does anyone know what the ~22 mb mercenary kings patch did? Can't seem to find patch notes anywhere.

Also does anyone know how to turn on autofire in this game >.<.

all I know is that one of the responses I got in my thread about the jump lag being bad just now is that if the jump didnt have lag it wouldnt be "realistic"

why do I bother

I'd've sent you the 42 cents if wallet trading was in... but that's a totally pointless option, what am I thinking? ; )

Ugh, I hate that excuse. This is coming from someone who doesn't mind the jump lag. Tbh I'd be okay with either. The delay makes it feel weighty and a bit of a nostalgic throwback to some older games. With that said, something a little more fluid akin to Metal Slug would also be welcome.

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

Yes.

I'm not sure if this will be more or less annoying than the Gift Beggers.

I lol'd. Yeah i noticed the jump lag too. I'm sure it'll get fixed eventually.

Think I got it :S

I think it's intentional so I don't know about that. If enough people complain perhaps.

i'd be down with them tweaking it a bit, not necessarely making it super instant

So only the people who have already won can win, again? Eh what? Posting it in this thread for everyone to see and then saying 'lol not for you!' is probably not the best idea.

 

[spindoctor]

Sorry man I'm not really sure how it works and I'm not about to download 20gb to find out. Try checking the Steam Dragon Age forums... maybe they'll know what's up.

Could you go into the Steamapps folder and rename the main exe to match the name of the launcher?

 

[catabarez]

Sending Steam bucks would have been a lot easier during the Steam sale if somebody has a lower price than the other. And plus if all I have are Steam bucks and no actual cash I can't use Paypal.

Not sure. Something I can definitely try when I get home though.

lol I'm getting frustrated with some of those responses and I don't even have an opinion on it.

The game went on sale only one time after the company went bankrupt. But the sale price was still too high
