Streaming my thoughts into Sinatar's posts NOW.

I'm going to hell!

 

[JaseC]

Still no Square-Enix Saturday deal? Are they on Valve time or something?

The Squeenix sale started several hours after the general store update. The next Daily will appear in a little under 5 hours.

 

[Sinatar]

Battlefield 3 isn't even available on Steam NOW.

 

[capitalCORN]

Anyone having issues with Steam right now? I tried logging in but it says Steam needs to update, but was set to offline mode. I've done the perfunctory deleting of clientregistry.blob, but no success. Any help?

 

[esai]

Is there any reason to buy the hearthfire dlc.

Only if you like wasting money on stupid pointless bullcrap.

I read wrong and thought he wrote Steaming to mean the game's out on Steam... Wtf?

 

[Breenz0r]

Better be a coal fest this year.

So no. I'm conflicted on buying dragonborn on day 1 or waiting for it to be on sale.

 

[Tomodachi]

It changed from Tomb Raider to Deus Ex well after the daily changed. It was around 6-7 hours later. Give it time.

Bu-bu-but I have to buy gaems!11

I thought it was synchronized to the dailies I'll be a good boy and wait then, thanks guys.

Do you have a lot of mods installed that tweak gameplay in some way? There's probably gonna be conflicts so it's best to wait it out for a few weeks.

If not, Dragonborn is worth the price of admission.

Most of my mods are visual effects, immersive armors and weapons, cloaks, and skyui. I'm thinking I'll try and hold out and play through the backlog.

 

[Atruvius]

Is Dawnguard worth the 10€? I just really got into playing Skyrim on my PC, previously played it a lot on PS3.

 

[Twinduct]

On my way to spend my Hat money on Dawnguard ... see I already own it ... enough steam for one year.

 

[dreamfall]

Y'all think the Dead Space Collection will get a sale as the date for DS3 approaches? Waited during the Winter Sale to no avail...

DS3 won't be released on Steam, so I doubt you'll see anything promoting it. On Origin it seems likely.

EA is dumb.

Right! I keep forgetting this.

 

[Last Baron]

The Darkness II is a blast with the more powers you collect. I don't even mind how boxed in the levels are now that I can toss black holes around (sound dirty but feels soo right).

It makes me wish the first one was on steam. I hope a third one is made. The coop is also lots of fun.

 

[Rapstah]

Hearthfire seems to be the "You get to own a couple of kids that call you daddy or mommy CANONICALLY" DLC.

 

[StalkerUKCG]

So my steam account just got hacked. Any idea what the turn around is for support?

ain't quick, why no steam guard

 

[StalkerUKCG]

Honestly I barely game on my PC and did not know steam guard was even a thing.

I do have about £200 worth of games on steam so id like the account back. Its strange. My Emails are fine but the account email address was changed.

 

[esai]

to hitman or not to hitman. ive never played any of them but the new one looked kinda cool.

You should just get Blood money, it's the better game and much cheaper than Absolution. Holds up pretty well too, aside from a lack of controller support.

 

[Lain]

I'm grabbing the Absolution DLC, since it's on sale too.

 

[1-D_FTW]

I don't know. Seems like something that's gonna suck and bomb pretty hard. I'd actually be surprised if it didn't eventually show up. EA probably only wants to sacrifice revenue if it's something that can actually drive Origin traffic. That abomination isn't likely to do that.

 

[Berto]

Just finished Anna. Man that was awful, I was expecting more Amnesia vibes, what I got was nonsensical puzzles and extreme jank. I walkthrough that shit on the latter half.

 

[KingKong]

I would recommend Hitman: Absolution for that price, it's not at all like Blood Money (it's actually closer to Hitman 2 if anything) but it's a pretty good third person shooter and the graphics and art style are fantastic

 

[BosSin]

I have made too many impulse buys recently to justify purchasing hitman absolution

Edit: Argh, they have also put Dawnguard on sale. STOP TEMPTING ME

 

[zerokoolpsx]

Hitman: Absolution at 66% off? My Steam client just updated since it was still showing Deus Ex: Human Revolution on sale.

 

[esai]

i feel so weak looking at the prices. i havent played anything that i bought except for skyrim, sleeping dogs, ftl, and some xcom. oh, and some hotline here and there. i really want far cry 3 though.

 

[Derrick01]

Absolution is hot steamy garbage. It's a horrible hitman game and taken by itself it's still an extremely sub par game full of ultra linear levels and 4 levels that are essentially 1 room or just a cutscene. Do not buy at any price.

Yeah from Derrick who thinks everything is shit and leaps at the chance to say so. Real victory there.

 

[CosmicQueso]

It's a sale. On steam. I mean... Have you seen some of the backlogs round these parts? Of course we do. Duh.

 

[EMT0]

Well, at least no matter how Absolution turns out, when I get around to playing it, it won't have cost me due to coming bundled with my GPU.

While I can sort of understand some of Derrick's critiques, others just read like sensationalism.

 

[Derrick01]

ahhhhhhhhhhhh

As much as I want to enjoy my successful prediction the death of my favorite stealth franchise kinda overrules that :\

You kind of make want to buy Absolution.

 

[catabarez]

I am having a problem with Assassin's Creed 3 now :/ (damn you Ubisoft). Every time I launch the game I get a black screen and I have to launch the task manager to close it. Is there a way to fix it?

He and I are in the same "crotchety old gamers who remember what game design used to be like" club.

 

[Delusibeta]

From watching YouTube videos, it appears to be far closer to Splinter Cell Conviction than any Hitman game. I'll happy admit that I haven't played the game, but still Absolution looks almost completely unlike a Hitman game.

 

[Family Fry]

We have all seen that Antichamber is out on 31st, is anyone doing an OT? Reckon this game will deserve one.

 

[REV 09]

Just picked up Absolution. Wasn't expecting that low of a price for it. I'm not the biggest Hitman fan so any tweaks to the formula are fine by me.

 

[wilflare]

blah. seems like there's no Sleeping Dog price mistake this time round.

does anyone keep getting notification from Steam to update to the 17 Jan 2013 update?
I have updated and restarted at least thrice now but the update keeps popping up

 

[jph139]

Shit, Chivalry is such inane, janky nonsense that I can't help but have fun.

 

[BoosterDuck]

What time should the Microsoft Arcade Pack discount activate?

 

[KingKong]

I bought Syndicate and Im downloading ir from Origin and wow, their servers are blazing fast. im dling at 6 mbs and Steam rarely gets above 2.5

ohsnap at 7.4 now

 

[StopMakingSense]

Amazon updates a little after midnight PDT.
