Chivalry: Medieval Warfar on sale for $12.49. GMG20-PJFEW-Y16HK should work to get 20% off putting it at $10.
edit: code should work on most games.

 

[Stumpokapow]

Just played (saw?) Thirty Flights of Loving.

What the actual fuck?

Anyone got a decent explanation to what just happened? A link to an analysis or something?

Play the Director's Commentary and see if that helps you out a bit. It's mostly just an experiment in narrative presentation without using text or signs.

Jase and my dear fellow countrymen:

GMG to the rescue? 30% off voucher, valid for AU/NZ-specific greedy publisher price-gouged items only, valid for 10 years (!): GMGAU-3J9MF-MUINW

Good gesture, that.

The prequel was full on signs, nearly on-rails, and short. Interesting, but not worth money. My guess is that the sequel is similar.

Yeah, there's a thread on that. What happens when the rip-off publishers simply up the base price to combat the discount?

I imagine GMG is taking the hit on this and the publishers are getting the same amount of money regardless.

Yes, I wasn't serious.

I'm not Australian, but damn, if this isn't a fine gesture, I have no idea what it is. I was on the fence on preordering The Cave because I'm short on money, but with this, GMG definitely deserves it. And from now on if I want a game I'm checking GMG first before Steam.

Stupid question. Does ALL games on Steam work on Windows 7 and 8?

 

[Lint21]

Bought 10000000 this morning on a whim.

Played for 7 hours today wtf

 

[Fireblend]

Stupid question. Does ALL games on Steam work on Windows 7 and 8?

I don't think *all* of them do. Check the game notes before buying a game you might have doubts about; they usually mention any OS compatibility problems.

 

[Derrick01]

So apparently you can play euro truck 2 with a 360 controller and...it's actually good? That's what the steam discussion group is saying. I was under the impression there were a lot of buttons or things to check/manage.

 

[oipic]

Yeah, there's a thread on that.

Oops, sorry mate - rarely stray from my subs list when at work (keeps me more, er, focussed), so I'd missed that... Should've known GAF was way ahead of me!

Still, kudos to GMG for showing some initiative on this matter... will probably just lead to an additional % mark-up being whacked on top by publishers to compensate, but we'll see.

 

[esai]

are Sanctum and Krater any good?

 

[Sarcasm]

are Sanctum and Krater any good?

I <3 Sanctum yet have to play it much. Will CoOp.

I just got krater..been playing for couple hours. Its fun great charm but has some flaws. Can't get a coop going though..but its not story coop anyways.

 

[rohlfinator]

I played it for 4 hours straight last night so maybe I'm strange because I didn't play it on the crapper. I think I've almost beat it though...

I've been playing the hell out of it too... it works well as something to play while watching other stuff.

It definitely seems better suited to a touch device, though. I think I'd appreciate it more in shorter bursts, and sliding the rows/columns seems like it would work better on touch.

 

[DownWithTheShip]

Alright now that we've got the reasons why sim games shouldn't exist at all out of our system, would something like this control fine with mouse and keyboard? I'm not going to be able to get a wheel for a long time probably but if it's still more than functional then it'll be enough for the time being.



Can't you run your own company in this? I thought I saw something like that but I tried not to spoil too much, although maybe it was just naming the company. I did see there's upgrade trees and quite a bit of truck customization.

I just got and and finished playing for a couple hours.

I haven't played it with mouse and kb but reading the Steam forum it sounds like a lot of people are playing that way and enjoying it. I'm playing using the 360 controller and it works great. It was extremely easy to configure. They did a really good job making it easy to configure controls to your liking.

You start the game working for another company. Then once you've earned enough money you can buy your own truck and start a business. You're also able to hire your own drivers, but I don't know much about that as I haven't been playing that long.

I'm American so the hardest thing for me is driving on the other side of the road.

I haven't been playing long but the couple hours I have played were fun.

Does DMC 3 support a 360 controller? Too lazy to pick up the hd collection and plug in my 360.

No. To call its controller support "rudimentary" or even "functional" would be a bald-faced lie.

 

[Lizardus]

Umm why're you all calling that truck game Comfy Sim 2?

They lifted it from /v/.

 

[Grief.exe]

Stupid question. Does ALL games on Steam work on Windows 7 and 8?

All games will work on Windows 7, some will require some work to get running though. Usually there is a fan made patch or fix required.

The Journey Down: I just played it and I thought it was wonderful. Wonderful voice acting with minor quibbles such as audio quality not being standard in parts. Graphics were good, not likely to tax any machine you have as it seems everything is pre-rendered. The humor is good, and it's amusing and cute. The music is very catchy and memorable. Puzzles are easy but there's a little too much backtracking, and it's overall rather short. I wish it was three times as long. It took me about 2 hours.

Overall I'm very excited to see what happens to Bwana and Kito, my new Rastafarian buddies.

[Lizardus]

Just finished Spec Ops: The Line

Gameplay was generic as hell
Story was good by videogame standards but

the ending with it all being in his head was predictable

might buy sanctum then.

Alright add me. Also your looking at gg price for Krater right? 3.99 dunno if still active though.

its still good on gmg
and ive sent you a friend request.

 

[Blizzard]

I decided to get Spectraball. The production values look pretty good in the video/screenshots, so hopefully controls don't turn out to be terrible or something.

I mean I've never played The Ball, and I know you might wonder "How great can a puzzle platformer about a ball be", but I figured I'd give it a shot.

I guess I should try this again now that I have a Steam key for it.
I turned it off after about 30 mins before as I couldn't get past the horrifically over the top voice acting.

I'm still kind of blown away that the controller works at all let alone great. Like I read that all you have to do is put the accelerate/brake on the triggers but everything else was mapped out great. This seemed like one of those games where there's a hundred buttons for little things in the truck.

Does DMC 3 support a 360 controller? Too lazy to pick up the hd collection and plug in my 360.

I've gotten it to work with a PS3 controller and MotionInJoy emulating a 360 controller. Also had to do some INI editing so that the shoulder buttons would work, and so the analog sticks weren't flipped (right stick moves you, left stick is camera? wtf). All that and it runs worse than DMC4. Though, my computer is many years old, so maybe you wouldn't have problems. You're probably better off with the HD collection. I picked up the DMC3&4 pack during the sale because I don't have consoles.

Edit: I should add that I haven't gotten to a part where you get more than one weapon yet, so I'm actually not sure the back shoulder buttons work. So janky.
Edit2: Got the shotgun. Can't switch to it. Well then!
Edit3: Have to emulate a keyboard key with JoyToKey for the back buttons in order to switch guns/devil arms. At least Capcom got much better about PC ports..

 

[Sinatar]

BAH, already taken. Thanks anyways.

Well whoever took it without mentioning it ruined it for everyone.

I'm done.

I'm sorry, but we have selected the finest group of assholes to swipe keys from this thread without ever posting anything.

It makes the experience of seeing a keydump quite heartwarming.

 

[Fireblend]

I much prefer doing a "whoever replies..." post rather than just posting the keys (even hidden) for that reason. A real shame.

 

[Stallion Free]

Replies method forces them to type something which scares away like 65%.

Alot easier than flooding steam threads with lame art contests too.

If they're too scared to type for it, they probably didin't want it that much anyway; Same can be said to having to draw some garbage in MS paint.

First to quote, or PM I say.

 

[Tizoc]

jUST CHECKing but who STILL doesn't have Bioshock 1 or 2?
JUST checking, not offering anything >_>;

 

[Stallion Free]

Only bad people don't have those two games. The only thing worse is having them and not beating them.

Spoiler

So that you can see how Bioshock 2 is a superior game with a superior story and a superior DLC expansion with an even more superior story. Come at me bros.

 

[Fireblend]

I'm going to go ahead and take post 2100 so that you guys don't have to repost anything for being the last post in a page. That's how cool I am.

Anyway, I own both games, but I played only up to the hospital in BS1 and I haven't even installed the other one yet =/ I'm just never in the mood =X

When the mood is right you will play them and enjoy them. Just don't play them back to back.

Why was NWN2 removed from Steam again? Something about Sega losing rights or something? Will we ever see it on Steam agian, along with NWN? Would go well with all those other D&D RPGs.\

Edit:
Atari, was it? My bad. Dunno why I thought Sega...

 

[Glass Rebel]

Far Cry 3 is one of those Ubisoft games which perfectly demonstrates that content =/= content. I reached the second island and I honestly feel like quitting. Talk about overstaying its welcome.

I don't! I have played both games, so I can't make myself pay 5€ for each which is the normal sale price! Call me names, I don't care!

 

[Rapstah]

I haven't played Bioshock 1 or 2 and I don't own either. Almost bought them this winter sale but missed the opportunities.

played the first on 360 and LOVED it.

sadly

never played the 2nd one

edit : damn...super b10

 

[ShaneB]

Latest Idle Thumbs sold me on Miasmata. It sounds pretty damn awesome. Wish I had picked it up during the winter sale, but I’m sure it’ll be on sale again soon, or as been proven time and time again, be in some bundle.

Everyone is hoping that Atari lost the D&D license (at least after they vomit out Neverwinter). Yea that means that NWN2 is hard to find, but it also means that the license might go to someone competant.

At this rate Primordia will likely appear in a bundle before it's half off on Steam.
