I guess I don't have to uninstall the NVIDIA GeForce Experience program. According to the latest Steam update:
- Work around a regression caused by recent versions of GeForce Experience which prevented the guide button from working on X360 controllers
Of course, I never really use the guide button on the 360 controller.

Because you bought it right?
Too scary for me man.
I can handle the atmospheric stuff like System Shock 2 or Betrayed, but I can't handle jump scares over a long period of time.

Sorry if this has been asked before, but if I just have the regular, non-GOTY edition of Batman AA... no achievements?

So I need to rebuy it. Bummer. Thanks.
Actually, 4 hours in and I have only encountered 2 major jump scares. Most of it's just ambient dread and paranoia. And hobos.

Condemned is good. Though I replayed it recently, and the spooks didn't age as well as I wanted them to. I don't know if it was just due to revisiting it, and already knowing stuff before it happened, or what. The famous scares from it still work, but a lot of the lesser ones don't any more.
It's kind of like when I tried F.E.A.R. for the first time this summer, and none of the stuff I would have found scary back around the time of release had much effect. Like walking down a hallway and hearing a baby cry, then see a flash of a bloody man laying on the ground for half a second while a loud sound plays. The Alma bits worked for the first few appearances, but then faded as I went on.
It could just be me, and the standards I hold to my spooks. You should probably still play Condemned, Grief. It's a really good game that has some good scares in it, versus a scary atmosphere with some game in it (not calling anything in particular out).
Also Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs comes out the day that I move into my new apartment, so I'll get to permanently connect that event with the spookiness of Amnesia (and subsequently force myself into being afraid of the place for the first few months of living there).

The way you move around game is archaic.
I'm pretty sure it ate one of my keys yesterday. I preordrered the new X-com game from Green Man Gaming and the key they had listed on my account as the new Xcom game was actually the Spec Ops preorder bonus, it showed that the game redeemed on my account even though I already owned it. I haven't actually tried the key again to see if it's actually been redeemed.
Hobos instill a primal fear in me
wait...no. How did you get that idea?
Why don't you say exactly what you are looking for.

Are both versions of the game getting achievements? Original release and GOTY? I don't have GOTY.
Yes. And the DLC will probably be back for individual sale.

Fair enough, I didn't notice how specific your question was initially.

Hey, I recognise that person!
Have you actually looked into that? The vanilla Arkham Asylum app hasn't been updated in quite a while and there are no achievements currently tied to it.
True.
I think quite a lot of the steam client's problems are that everything besides the library is basically just a browser frontend, going for the lowest common denominator.

Holy shit, EA bundle already over 5 million...
Humble Bundle will use it to justify that no one likes indie games and from then on they are only selling EA titles.
If this resulted in EA games returning/being brought over to Steam, I'd be all for it.

Man that'd be super weird. I wonder how sound it'd be for them to just keep everything consolidated and upgrade existing non goty copies. Would be a nice (and way simpler) move if alongside that they had some sort of promotion bringing non steam copies over as well.
yeah, the numbers are seriously kinda insane
it's probably the best move EA has ever done towards Origin, I bet a lot of people are gonna jump in to play Crap Space 3
If this resulted in EA games returning/being brought over to Steam, I'd be all for it.
Now I'm hoping the added games next week will include Sims3 somehow for Steam.

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.
Button coming soon to do this in one click.
The wishlist is indeed a mess. The fact that a lot of game images on it are still broken is scary. Of course, Enhanced Steam fixes this, but why can't Valve?

It's so insane that I think it's possible we'll get another EA bundle down the line that is not 100% charity.
I really want to shy away from that statement since, like Jase said, there is literally nothing going on in either of those apps.
I kind of assumed that Warner would bring back those DLCs for individual sale, but they may leave that off entirely.
As for the achievements, they should still work across the different apps. Its not like something has fundamentally changed with the addition of DLC. The hooks that pop the achievements should be the exact same.
That would be nice. I own the base game but none of the expansion packs.
Employee 1: "We should fix Steam's Wishlist feature."
Employee 2: "We should also be working on Half-Life 3."
Employee 1: "Touche."

It's annoying you can't wishlist collections. I don't just want SFxT, I want SFxT Complete.
*both play DOTA2 instead and call it community development*

Sometimes I think they don't want to hire me just because I'll make them look bad.
I'm annoyed by this too, but the only solution is to have this wishlisted data stored either externally or in the browser's localStorage. Also (and the reason behind Valve not implementing this, I'm told) is that not all collections are available at all times. They're designed to be "promotions" and thus by their nature temporary. We all know that's not really the case.
it still does. I redeemed two copies of Metro 2033 on my account T_T sigh.
and they were Metro 2033 Only Retail codes
Well, that's the thing: the vanilla app hasn't been updated at all aside from general housekeeping, with all the effort being concentrated on the GOTY version.
Ya its weird, maybe they are just going to pretend the vanilla versions don't exist to save them some work.
They literally have done nothing on either of those apps. I guess I never thought about it since it didn't pertain to my situation.

I can't wait to play Crap Space 3. If only Origin would download at greater than 50kb/sec I'd be playing it now. Only 31 hours to go!

This has been a roller coaster for me. I don't believe in anything anymore.
I went through nearly the same thing with AC. Ended up buying the DLC from amazon.
That's not the same thing because they would have contained content that you didn't own prior -- maybe they activated different Metro 2033 apps or contained some DLC. What Steam used to do, though, is eat keys even when they offered nothing new -- they wouldn't redeem, but you'd get the "Product already owned" error and if another person tried to use the same key, Steam would claim it was a dupe. Take those EA keys I gave away yesterday, for instance: I threw them into Steam beforehand to ensure they didn't have anything tied to them that I didn't already own, but since I already owned all the included content, they still worked for those who snapped them up via ModBot.

bah. Why can't I beat the first world in Spelunky?! It sucks that I suck at this game
It's a methodical game and a learning process. Take it slow, don't run as much and take in the environment. Try to really keep an eye out for anything that could go wrong or endanger you in any way.

Nah, the Origin version is already perfect.
- Get key from humble bundle
- Log into Sims 3 website to redeem key
- Log into Origin client to start download
- Log into the Sims 3 client to finish.
- Update Sims 3 client
- Update Sims 3 launcher.
- Done!
The generosity of this thread amazes me. All of my thanks goes out to HP_Wuvcraft for this one.
And got to give another shout out to r3n4ud for gifting me Betrayed the other night.
Humbly thank you guys, and you are awesome!
I guess the rollercoaster ride continues my friend.

yea, I get what you're referring to but I sure hope they do better detection next time.
I had one
Metro 2033 GamersGate Retail
Metro 2033 FB Giveaway 250K
or something like that
I kinda have learned the basics of the game, but still there are a lot new things to learn. I managed to beat four giant spiders. But that's because I used the spikes to kill all those nasty spiders. I was kinda lucky. When I was in the last stage, 1-4, I was a few meters from the exit but then two bats flew towards me. I had one life left. I thought I would kill them in one attack, but that was a mistake. It killed one of the bat, and the other bat killed me
