I really liked the daily deals. Cool while it lasted.

RIP in Peace

rip in piece, again :/

 

[Blue Ninja]

I finally get a shot at winning Xcom and ModBot goes down. :lol

Well, I have to head out soon. Let's hope ModBot doesn't come collecting souls once he starts functioning again.

Call of Duty looked really good...

No one saw Call of Duty Ghosts coming

Ah, thanks! That explains why I couldn't find it on the various steamworks lists. My saga continues.........

You should get the GOG version anyways, you really don't want the Steam version.

It is so riddled with horrible DRM, just don't even bother. I picked it up well before I started actively looking for DRM.

 

[Leon Belmont]

anyone else just get their first post-summersale credit card statement?

Yes I got it yestarday and.....

 

[Slacker]

I got back from lunch and patted myself on the back for not buying Monaco on the daily deal as I don't need to spend any more money right now. Then I remember the dailies stay up for 24 hours extra now. >___< WILL POWER... HNNGGGG

Should get Barry Zuckerkorn

He's very good

TAKE TO THE SEA

I've already got the GOG version, this is just about a bloody guerrilla war with my steam rival.

 

[Turfster]

Oh my, I had too many of those.
Its checkpoints occasionally did put me in front of enemy guards with no chance of escaping undetected. While I was doing no kill/detection run! That meant I had to restart the level entirely.

What? How?
Most of the Mark of the Ninja checkpoints were in vents.

Monaco is a really really great game if you have friends, though, so you're doing yourself a disservice by not getting it!

Damn cold keeping me from Guacamelee! and Papers, Please. Not tonight, blast you. Not tonight.

People, it is not the Winter sales. Why do you flood?

Giveaway.

Fair enough (and to further clarify, my tone was meant more jokingly rather than the dickish Dad tone it probably reads as). I use my credit card almost exclusively for those exact reasons, too. But it's important to maintain the mindset that, even though it isn't due for a month, it is still your money that you're spending.

Basically, treat your credit card like a debit a card.

I see people malign credit cards here too much. They can be used to your advantage if you approach them with the correct mindset. I get between 300 and 400 dollars every year in reward points I can use on Amazon -- just for using my credit card normally and responsibly.

i hear ya. i actually only went like $50 over my original budget of $50. i honestly just wanted an excuse to post that gif. =(

 

[Stallion Free]

I don't think there were recycled levels, but the campaigns are always so damn similar.

As someone who plays a fuckton of FPS games, I don't think so.

 

[rybrad]

Is it normal for Steam to block you from selling things for a week if you add wallet funds with new payment info? I got a rebate card from building my new PC that I figured I would toss into my Steam wallet and now I can't sell my cards for that sweet, free money.

 

[amishpriest99]

I am also not surprised that I still haven't touched 90% of the stuff I bought during the sale.

I probably haven't even touched 10% of what I bought yet.

Fish AI still kills me.

Just seen some gameplay, it seems like they changed the font color from yellow (or was it green?) to white.

It makes sense, yet there is no winner.

Yes. It's to prevent fraud in user-to-user transactions.

Merry Saoirsemas!

Nice work on page two. I entered for a few of them, but not all. I do not want MODBOT to think I am being greedy. Thanks for the raffle!

Dammit... I have three friends coming over tonight and four PS3 controllers. I may have to happen. I think the universe demands it.

Yep.

 

[Sini]

What? How?
Most of the Mark of the Ninja checkpoints were in vents.

Most. They decided to put checkpoints inside big buildings that had many guards with complex routes and no vents, that's was just asking for trouble.

Yes. If you change your payment options, password or any other information, you can't use the market for a while.

Believe it or not, this happened me during the summer sale gone, for 10 days I think it was. I was raging. Couldn't buy an tf2 keys to trade with russians for cheap games. oh well... at least I didnt end up binge buying.

Poor Modbot...

Weird, my Steam wishlist won't show prices atm.

By the way, nobody has posted about Gone Home...

 

[ussjtrunks]

so still no daily hmm...

Isn't that an Enhanced Steam feature? Check your plugins, maybe it needs to be updated/re-enabled.

HL3 incoming.

 

[Turfster]

Well, it's been a while. I never really had a problem with it, sorry. Still, it was much better than a checkpoint every X minutes in a 3D FPS stealth game.

Dammit... I have three friends coming over tonight and four PS3 controllers. I may have to happen. I think the universe demands it.

IT IS FATED!

 

[Vindicis]

I'm madly refreshing the steam page in the vain attempt to get a daily deal to appear

 

[rybrad]

Yes it is normal. And yes it sucks...

Yes. It's to prevent fraud in user-to-user transactions.

Yep.

Thanks for the input, that would have been nice for them to mention that when adding funds so I could have sold off my cards first. I wish they had a live chat option or something to verify your info but of course Steam support has never been about providing timely support for users.

 

[Baron_Calamity]

anyone else just get their first post-summersale credit card statement?

Yeah this was the worse sale yet. Jump past $500 this time.

 

[Nymphae]

As someone who plays a fuckton of FPS games, I don't think so.

To each their own I suppose, I won't be picking up the new COD for the first time this year because I am getting really sick of the same formula.

 

[RionaaM]

No! Don't buy the game at all, its a very bad iteration of Castlevania.

If you want a great Castlevania game, check out Symphony of the Night, Dawn/Aria of Sorrow, or Order of Ecclesia.

I'd like to try SotN, but sadly I don't have a PS3 or Xbox to play it. And importing the DS games would be expensive, though I think I could do it someday.

I mean, I still want to get Bit.Trip Saga despite it being a terrible port (Runner and Flux have a horrible frame rate), so how much worse can it be?

Yeah, it's still better than those games.
MotN is still fantastic game in my opinion despite those occasional frustrating checkpoints.

No it wasn't working through the Steam client, but it seems to be working now.

I'm not saying its a horrible port. Bad ports can still be worth playing because they are just that good.

I'm saying its a bad game and not worth your time.

I don' t mind it, honestly. It's nice when conversation picks up in here. I like the atmosphere in the Steam threads - the way people just hang out and talk about games here without the knives coming out, or everything turning into a debate. It's a nice feeling.

By the way, nobody has posted about Gone Home...

Game is intriguing because it seems so ominous but none of the gameplay trailers show anything that resemble the supernatural which is what has been suggested.
