FEAR and Rage come to mind.
Yeah. Pretty much sold it instantly for $1.60. Not worth the gamble. I'm trying REALLY hard not to SPEND any money on steam metagames. Just sell what I can. So far I'm all profits. Have to keep that trend up lol.
Same here. I spent like 4 bucks of money made from csgo on keys.
No more;-) and so far so good

I still need to pick up RAGE. Never gave it a try.
It's... not all that good, sadly.
The vehicle sections are irritating and there's only a handful of locations, which get reused constantly. The game also just... ends abruptly, without any payoff.
Wtf. Last night I was playing New Vegas, left a casino on the strip and as soon as I appear outside, game crashes. I think to myself that that may corrupt the auto-save, good thing I saved inside the casino as well.
Now today, game won't load the autosave or my other save... How did both get corrupted when the auto-saving should have only fucked up and not even touched my other one :/

Yeah, and it's for this reason that I recommend people brush up on their history of id's games so they have a general idea of what to expect. For the uninitiated, though:
- The story is virtually non-existent
- Despite the trailers suggesting otherwise, the world is nothing like Fallout or Borderlands. You have a main city from which you accept quests, and from here you travel to a handful of locations, which function as regular levels, using your vehicle
- Quest design is your standard go here to kill that/fetch this affair. Your second time through a level, though, the layout is slightly different, so it's not entirely monotonous
- There is a loot system but it's more of a "junk" system -- you collect trash or other desired though otherwise useless items and sell them for money
- The vehicular component is fine when it comes to races, but the modes that place on emphasis on combat -- such as Rocket Races, which have you chasing checkpoints all the while dodging enemy fire -- can be frustrating
- The game has its BFG equivalent but there is no final boss, so don't make the same mistake I did and save the ammo, expecting to have something to waste it on
- The campaign ends abruptly -- there's practically no ending at all
- There is a rudimentary crafting system that allows you to make, say, your own health kits, but your health also regenerates, so...
- Wingsticks are awesome
Edit: I forgot a couple of things:
- The FPS core is classic id -- for some folks, it feels dated, but for those who grew up playing Doom or Quake, it's delightfully refreshing
- There are two "worlds": the wasteland and Subway Town
- There's DLC and it's apparently quite good, especially for the price

When enumerating the flaws of RAGE it can't be overstated that the game just wants you to feel as unthreatened by the world as possible. Regenerating health, bandages that you can use to instantly regenerate your health when you're in jam vision, your suit is equipped with a defib that revives you if you do die, and you get an upgrade that lets you do it twice.
It's like baby's first post-apocalypse.

It's a shame that the health system is such a hodgepodge because it really does significantly decrease the sense of difficulty. Here's what it needed:
- Bandages
- Nothing else

Logged into my Origin account to play more Saboteur, only to find that all of my games are gone (except the Sims 3, and Need for Speed Hot Pursuit). I think a former "EA Persona" account must have merged with my current account any wiped all of my games.
So I got in line at the Origin tech support chat:
Wonderful.

60mins is better than the 2 weeks I have waited for Steam and am still waiting. Yes I am pretty bitter.

Yeah that blows. The traditional support ticket method on Origin said they needed 14 days as well, but at least this has the chat option.
God speed, and best of luck.
A month. He'll be back in a few weeks.
Except that sadly, it doesn't feel nearly as fast and furious as classic id FPS games.

Have you contacted them since? Send them another ticket and hit them up on twitter.
I have. Opened another ticket on Monday. Still no reply. Tweeted them too, but I don't think their support twitter actually help anyone..
Their support page says they are busy, but damn. That's one long wait.
Anyone else contact them recently and get a reply?
Also on the fence about buying Electronic Super Joy. I really liked the Giantbomb Quicklook about it, but it seems noone here has played it to give impressions. I semi-enjoyed the torture They Bleed Pixels put me through, but I guess I could just finish Super Meat Boy first and wait for more reviews of Electronic Super Joy.

http://www.electronicsuperjoy.com/paymentoptions.html You can still grab it here. I don't know if it comes with a Steam key or not.
I think it was Early Access for that price but since then released proper.
I was speaking to the shooting. ADS is there, for some reason, but it's completely unnecessary as the weapons behave more or less as you would expect them to in an id game.
Late edit: I'd say that the sewer levels come reasonably close to id's past titles in terms of encounter design, though.
No, and if you watched QuakeCon 13, there's no other game which has such a powerful shotgun either

I guess the Skullgirls endless beta isn't actually endless? Oh well.

The free beta codes that people were giving out a couple of weeks ago expired on the 22nd.
You have to own the game to have access to the endless beta now.

what is the standard procedure for making card sales sustainable? I want to get a higher level to get more cards, but I dont want to pay for remaining cards on the marketplace.
scorpscarx
Member
There is no standard procedure, you sell things or get lucky with a foil, or sell the expensive ones and buy the cheap sets.
The gains in terms of booster packs for being higher level is never going to make it sustainable. Unless something changed you're not going to be making money on cards when buying new games.

Apparently my Origin issue was "technically impossible". It assigned 2 accounts to the same email address, which the man on the phone likened to having two different people with the same social security number. He had to put me on hold, and he said everyone he talked to claimed that it's impossible.
Oh well. I have my account back.
Time to get back to important things like buying Mortal Kombat on GMG.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
Glad you finally got it resolved. And yes, Mortal Kombat is a "must buy" at this price.

Totally. In case anyone didn't see the other thread:

Using this code GMG20-KCDKK-H4TPB will bring it down to 8.16 USD. Not available in Germany though. Sorry German friends.

Press RB while scrolling your weapons if you're using a 360 controller. Not sure how you do it with a keyboard.

Man, fuck you Origin. When did that EA bundle come out? Over a week ago? I've been downloading Sims 3 Starter Pack SINCE THEN.
I walk away from the PC for a few hours, like going to work, then come home to find it's "paused downloading". This happens after only downloading a percentage or two. I was told by EA support to run as admin, but now instead of pausing download once a minute for 24 hours a day, it's getting an error whenever Iboot up that forces me to restart the entire goddamn download.
Screw it, I own the game, I'll find another way to get it (I own it twice already - once on Origin and once on disc, but I cannot find my fucking disc, plus I want the expansion pack).
Ironically, DA:O, which is 28 gigs, downloaded in two hours last night after I bought it on the sale. That may probably be my last Origin purchase.

I'm using a keyboard
guess i'll use a controller because having to bring up my pipboy to change weapons gets tedious.
What's weird is that I've gotten a pretty consistent 3.7 mb/sec or better from Origin, regardless of what I was downloading. It makes me wonder how their servers are set up, since I know other people get crap speeds from them too. Is it just a regional/ISP issue, is it a question of where their server farm(s) are, or what? At first I just assumed it was the high volume of traffic because of the bundle, but it sounds like a bigger issue than that.
Hold down a number key and click on the item you want to hotkey.
