Anyone else looking at their badge page and seeing "0.0 hrs on record" for every game?

Yes.

 

[Slacker]

have fun

Thanks a lot!

 

[jshackles]

Yeah I noticed that yesterday.

Yep

Yes.

Yes.

Email sent to Valve.

Community is fucked up right now. I'm logged out inside the client, I couldn't check my inventory earlier, etc.

Man I really wish EA would release Burnout 3 HD that was a launch title on the 360 on PC. It was by far the best Burnout game.

be prepared to be teamkilled more than the enemy kills you.

That's half the fun.

The other half is hitting the yell button.

 

[Syphon Filter]

be prepared to be teamkilled more than the enemy kills you.

yea and then they curse each other out saying it was a mistake lol.

 

[Phinor]

Base price is listed as 50€ here (which is the RRP).
Guess you're getting a taste of how the other half of the world lives.

Well 50€ base price but to compensate, it's only discounted 33% in Europe making it 33.49€ (which is more than I paid gamersgate when I pre-ordered the game with all the pre-order goodies). That also makes 67% off of $80 the better deal by far.

yep. I love Chivalry but I don't take it serious. half the time I just start laughing when I get teamkilled

because 95% of the time, it's an avoidable situation. They just tried to be a hero and save you from the enemy you were in a battle with, or just a dick trying to steal kills. Then they end up killing you and then dying to the enemy

This.

I mean, I'm totally what you describe. Except that I usually never try to help a teammate, but I just try to steal a kill, failing, teamkilling and ending up killed by enemy. <3

Please don't suck.[/QUOTE]

Honestly after watching preview videos I have a bad feeling. Cheap jump scares and a not very scary looking monter chasing you around that is too often clearly visible. To me the game seems to lack the sublety of Amnesia and I don't think the scenario is anything special compared to eg Routine. I hope reviews will be available before release.

lol I was like that at first

then somehow the enemy always moved at the last second and I ended up killing my teammate.

Anyway, is the base price for Bioshock Infinite in Gamersgate showing as 80 dollars for anyone else? http://www.gamersgate.com/DD-BIOSI/bioshock-infinite

I was thinking buying the game since it had a 67% discount, but the base price of 80 dollars (weird) doesn't make it a very good deal.

See if you can buy it here for 12GBP: http://www.game.co.uk/en/bioshock-i...02&attributeName1=Shop By&attributeValue1=107

I love when I try to level up a really slow weapon and I act super goofy teamkilling everything that moves because the gap between click and hit is huge and above all, the guy just look totally like me when I try to do some agility stunt in real life (something like Tobias Funke).

 

[drizzle]

Coming Soon to Enhanced Steam:

Linking to external sites with bundles that have the game in question on the game page itself? I don't think Valve will like that very much.

I mean, we will, but...

 

[Copons]

Coming Soon to Enhanced Steam:

Whoa, this is incredible!

How did you manage to compare apps with bundles?

Is there a way to inject somewhere on Steam a page containing current major bundles with their game lists?

 

[Turfster]

Damn, I didn't even check that.
So we still get screwed =p

I decided a long time ago that adding new features to Enhanced Steam wouldn't hinge on Valve's perception of me. Maybe it's why they haven't hired me yet, maybe not.

Either way, I've told my contacts at Valve: "If there's ever a feature of Enhanced Steam that you would like removed, please contact me to discuss." The fact that they've never requested me to remove any feature thus far means they probably don't care.

Anyway, the plugin is designed to help people save money. This is just another way of doing that.

Would you link to ther big retailers, like Amazon, Gamersgate or Nuuvem?

Damn, that must be one big database mess (unless you're using the steamprices databases, which would make it much easier, I guess...)

 

[jshackles]

I already link to sites that sell lower than Valve and have for quite a long time with the "Lowest price" and "Historical low" features. This is just... a little more visible.

Also my Valve contact fixed the badge page so correct playtimes should be listed again. He also said they had a fix for the API but it wouldn't be rolled out until next week's weekly maintenance.

Actually the data is coming from IsThereAnyDeal.com - they recently started tracking indie bundles and they are providing the data Enhanced Steam uses. Currently their lowest available price data is used by Enhanced Steam to link to sites such as Amazon, GamersGate, GreenManGaming, etc if they have a lower price than Steam.

If I do have one complaint with F.E.A.R. it is the environments stick around for too long.

I have been running around Armachair corporate offices for about 3 hours now.

I've heard that complaint before several times, though to be honest it never bothered me.

But yeah, if you think about it there are only 3 or 4 different settings/locations in that game. I loved them, so I still think it's one of the best games ever made.

FEAR radically overstays its welcome.

FEAR2 was much shorter and much more varied, though the gunplay was worse.

Funnily enough, I thought the first game was very short after beating it in 3 days the first time I played it. It left me wanting more!

 

[etrain911]

I need to get enhanced Steam then apparently. That's a deft bit of programming, man. I'd hire you in a heart beat if I were Valve. Also, I totally just bit on The Witcher and The Witcher 2. I'm psyched.

 

[fernandes]

Anyone else looking at their badge page and seeing "0.0 hrs on record" for every game?

Not sure if it was fixed already but mine is showing the correct playtime now.

 

[RionaaM]

$13.49 inclusive of the 10% pre-purchase discount.

It's the AVGN, so yeah. I'll probably bite.

 

[Robert J. Sullivan]

After some tweaking I finally managed to make GTA SA work and look great on my big screen with a 360 controller. An HD port would have prevented all the hassle but oh well.

I played some Payday 2 earlier and we were doing the art gallery heist and 3/4 of the team goes on the roof to get inside and some kid just runs through the front door and causes the whole heist to go downhill

Cautiously optimistic it'll be good, but yeah I'm hoping it can build some great tension and not rely on jump scares throughout. Gameplay demos looked promising even with the jump scares that may just be in there to scare the press and leave some impression in 20 minutes...

Still can't access my full balance on paypal since mid-july. Ridiculous. Anyone have any idea? Trying to contact them through email, but can't find any topic and sub-topic that matches my problem lol :/

 

[Senator Soufflé]

Don't know what to think about Deadliest Warrior expansion. I have spent like 20 hours playing the base game and I still have no idea how to play it. Though the appeal of possible pirates is too great.

 

[Anustart]

I know these are a hot commodity! Anyone want a 50% off Strike Suit Infinity coupon?

 

[Stallion Free]

Just how important is playing Witcher 1? I tried to get into it twice and just couldn't. The prospect of a 70 hour game isn't very appealing either. I kinda just want to skip to Witcher 2 with it's sick graphics. Plus W2 is supposedly quite a bit shorter.

There is a great chivalry tutorial series on YouTube.

If no one else posts it I will get it to you when I get home. Send me a PM as a reminder.

Not at all. I usually recommend people to skip the first game, unless they are a huge fan of classic RPGs.

Not very. Just read a summary and you are right to go. W2 isn't exactly short, but the best of it is in Act 1 so you can bail out if you are not enjoying it.

Witcher 2's story is relatively standalone, but you're going to be confused on the characters, nations and politics going on unless you spend a bunch of time in the codex reading about stuff.

thanks toddhunter!

 

[deejay]

all my origin stuff

Thanks for DS3 man

 

[DukeBobby]

I still need to give away my Origin stuff.

I need to mix in some Bad Rats, though.

 

[Robert J. Sullivan]

I played some Payday 2 earlier and we were doing the art gallery heist and 3/4 of the team goes on the roof to get inside and some kid just runs through the front door and causes the whole heist to go downhill

I feel you.

I'm also seeing a lot of lvls 30-50 acting like they have no idea what the hell they're supposed to do in heists like Watchdogs or Rats. I even got a lvl 30 that blew up the lab as soon as we could put the ingredients in (and he wasn't griefing). It's almost like they only farmed UK job and this is their first real heist.
I wouldn't bother if they did this in normal difficulty but most of the time since they have a high level they join a pro overkill heist and ruin it.

I was confused by the Witcher 2 in the first 10 seconds. I was like "why the fuck Geralt is with Triss ?"

Spoiler

Since I found both Shani and Triss to be uninsteresting characters I chose Shani because I prefer short hairs, yup that's lame.

And then I saw the 5 lines of explanation in the codex .

Great stuff dude, thanks heaps, been after Spec ops for a while after hearing about its immense story.

Shani was way hotter in the first game, Trish was annoying and manipulative.
