Sleeping Dogs was really a sleeper hit of 2012.

I just got around to playing it a couple weeks ago and I have been signing its praises ever since.

completely agree. Awesome game. One of the few games I'm actually looking to pick up the DLC for. Pick it up and don't regret it

 

[SniperHunter]

which dlc?

 

[RionaaM]

That's why I still haven't played it. I'm waiting for a 75% sale on Year of the Snake (and any future DLC) before starting it, so I can play them all together.

 

[MMBosstones86]

which dlc?

only one I picked up so far is the Nightmare of Northpoint. Will probably pick up a few of the other ones that have mission during the summer sale.

good move.

 

[blindrocket]

Don't Starve is really cool. I dig it. Eating a purple mushroom that ended my life was both fun and frustrating. haha

 

[toddhunter]

Just realised I'm passing on baldurs gate on steam because I already own it on ipad.

2013 huh?

 

[jaundicejuice]

You don't need any DLC to get the full experience in Sleeping Dogs.

 

[toddhunter]

You don't need any DLC to get the full experience in Sleeping Dogs.

I agree. To be honest there is a good chance you'll be over the game about half way through and the DLC just adds more of what you already did a hundred times before and still have to do a hundred times again the credits roll.

I think if you do finish it and still have the urge for more, then pick up the DLC. It is all cheap enough anyway.

 

[BoosterDuck]

But don't forget to get the Square-Enix character pack

Dat 47

 

[HolyBaikal]

Is Half-Minute Hero worth picking up? Looks somewhat interesting.

Most definitely. Especially at that price.

The app produces a custom.styles file, which has to replace the custom.styles file in the skin folder.

Hah, silly me. Didn't see that there.

Hopefully it should work now.

Edit: No, it isn't. I'll make some screenshots.

I have tried deleting the original custom file and replacing it with a new one multiple times. As well as restarting Steam.

And if you meant instead of the Steam Metro skin folder, that was the first thing I tried. I didn't try the skins folder at first, but this was the first thing I tried.

Again, at this point, I've tried having a blue custom file in both of these folders multiple times. I've opened settings multiple times. I've deleted old custom files multiple times, and I've restarted and closed out Steam multiple times.

Could the fact that I'm not using the new Steam beta have anything to do while it isn't working, or am I just not getting the instructions yet?

I ate a Mandrake... I felt really bad :/

it looks really.. strange... the proportions are off... still waiting for a sweet deal for game+DLC :X

what's Half-Minute Hero about?

 

[Joe Molotov]

I bought Bioshock Infinite and within 30 minutes, someone had already friended me for TF2 trading purposes. :lol

 

[cpp_is_king]

i still havent gotten my bioshock key from AMD. Are they still going out or should i have gotten it already?

 

[HolyBaikal]

what's Half-Minute Hero about?

Quick bursts of parodying the jRPG genre.

Basically it is strategy of getting through a jRPG world as quickly as possible.

 

[xelios]

i still havent gotten my bioshock key from AMD. Are they still going out or should i have gotten it already?

Still going out, I got mine about 20 hours ago.

 

[Shantom]

A friend got his an hour ago, they're still being sent.

 

[Delusibeta]

Whoops: I meant the Metro for Steam folder, that's the custom.style file that you have to overwrite.

[edit] Oh, you tried that first. Then all I can say is that it worked on my machine and I suggest you delete the custom styles file and then generating a new one with the Settings exe.

 

[FireRises]

can I be added to the GAF group? thanks!

edit - thanks to whoever added me! Add me as a friend, I need more steam buddies, tag is gobias

 

[RionaaM]

Nah, I'd rather grab all the missions/interesting DLC for a game I haven't played, which I don't know if I'll like, and then play it all together someday.

Thomas Was Alone is really good indeed. Even my sister liked it, and she unlocked 2 achievements for me (jump 1x00 and 2x00 times). Of course, that's on the levels I've already beaten. I don't like when people continue my current playthrough, unless I've already finished the game before.

 

[Lulubop]

The setting thing for Metro for steam doesn't work for me either. Ah, well.

 

[ShaneB]

The Metro skin settings app goes right into the skin folder. Like so, which it did look like you had.

Also, note that it doesn't change the colour of the skin, just the highlight bar when you select games/friends. So maybe it is working, just that you are expecting the whole skin colour to change

 

[MRORANGE]

shit.

Ah, thanks. It's been bugging me.

 

[Cynar]

Baldur's Gate on sale, bought! So many good memories.

 

[wilflare]

MRORANGE awesome OP.. it looks sweet

 

[ClovingWestbrook]

Baldur's Gate on sale, bought! So many good memories.

Imma wait for the real Baldurs Gate releasing on Steam.

 

[Rickenslacker]

Imma wait for the real Baldurs Gate releasing on Steam.

Yeah, Dark Alliance was pretty sweet.

Does the EE version dampen the chances of the vanilla games appearing? I'd hope not.

 

[RionaaM]

shit.

Fuck, now I'll need to spend more money. I hate games.

That looks cool as fuck, and I'm not even an RPG fan.

 

[Salsa]

Evoland is a bit weird tho

"experience the evolution of the adventure RPG genre!" and the last step is like, isometric 4-tile movement low-poly 3D?

also im sure gonna be sad when I move on from the pixelated goodness. Poly stuff looks ew

Yeah, but the twist is that it goes back to 8-bit because it's all retro-cool now.

Yes, it goes:

8-bit 2D RPGS -> 16-bit 2D RPGS -> 32-bit 2D/3D RPGs -> 128-bit 3D RPGs -> HD 3D RPGs -> 2013 Videogame Crash -> Shitty iOS F2P RPGs

 

[cpp_is_king]

Decided to buy FarCry 3 and holy shit I'm really impressed. I'm not usually a fan of shooters but this feels more like an open world game and I wasn't expecting that at all, so that was really a nice surprise. It seems like what you'd get if you crossed Skyrim with your typical story-driven FPS.

That's an apt way to put it, for better or worse.

 

[Blizzard]

Yeah, but the twist is that it goes back to 8-bit because it's all retro-cool now.

I think more than being retro-cool, the graphics that aren't low-poly 3D actually tend to look better in the long run. That last shot is kind of icky, but the earlier ones are great.

 

[scorpscarx]

Curse Bethesda for not letting Dishonored get cheaper faster!!! Ugg it's still more than $20, that's like the cheapest it has been. I want it, at $15 I'd bite! I'm still holding out since launch lol.

 

[oipic]

I know it has been said many times, but hey...

Public shout-out of thanks to Salsa for being a most obliging and forever-helpful citizen of GAF. Thanks again, mate.

 

[JaseC]

Just 8 hours to go until BioInf unlocks. Baldur's Gate is tempting, but maybe I should wait for 66% off...

Edit:

You should have asked around when GamersGate began backfilling keys for the Bethesda Holiday Pack. I bought a Dishonored key for $15; it could have been yours.

 

[Grief.exe]

I have no problem playing the waiting game with publishers.

Plenty of great games available to play while I wait for specific ones to drop in price.

Or, if your practices are particularly bad, never buy at all. Games like Diablo III and SimCity come to mind.

I bought mine for $11 ^^

If you are lucky you might find a seller who sells it for $15

Stupid Australia.

That reminds me, I need to make room for BSI to even decrypt and unpack.

 

[CryptiK]

Any here able to help an Aussie out with Bioshock? I normally use Wilflare but he's off line I can paypal PM me details would be greatly appreciated

 

[water1111]

That's annoying isn't it? I downloading TR and it needed to decrypt and it always said "disk error" I'm like "WTF is my hard drive damaged " and then I looked I saw I had 26MB remaining on my STEAM hard drive

 

[JaseC]

My copy of Football Manager 2009 arrived today, but it's missing a CD key. D'oh.
