For those who regularly play Civ V: Am I missing out by not getting some of the DLC's that aren't included in the Humble Sid Meir Bundle?

I already donated and got the entire pack, but there's at least 10 DLC's that are not included in the bundle.

Kinda late, but thanks Arthea for Azteka!

Oh come on, people.
Is it "bad small game team PR weekend" or something?

They deleted their douchey comment, but I did seek out their game and vote on it.

RIPD is $2.50 on Amazon. Redeems on Steam.
I hear it is complete garbage, so I know some of you here really want it.

RIPD is a poor reskin of God Mode, which was itself an okay Killing Floor-like. It was nominated for and almost won Giant Bomb's Worst Game of 2013 before Vinny rescinded his vote, saying that it's such a terrible game that it doesn't deserve the recognition of winning any award. Multiplayer only and the online was dead minutes after launch.

But it's a licensed game, so it'll probably get pulled at some point.

Just received my review code for NaissanncE. Seems like a very mysterious game. Excatly what I like.

Need more "different" games like Gone Home, Jazzpunk, NaissanncE etc. After some hours with Titanfall beta and Alpha Protocol shooters are really uninteresting.

The other DLCs include extra civs and game modes. I thought it was kinda lame that they had only the vanilla game in the bundle, and not, like, the gold edition or something, but fret not. There will likely be an "Upgrade to Complete Edition" thing for $5 or so during the Summer Sale, and that'll include all the DLC you missed.

How bad can it be?

Every single moment you play it wonder to yourself "how could anyone think this was ready for release?" From bare bone level designs, to missions, to weird combat that doesn't always register or comes with a lag in-game, and all the rest just making you confused if they want out of time or simply never worked on the game again after early Beta development. Weapons especially feel underdeveloped, base model and base "type of weapon spread", but they mean nothing and are all equally fulfilling.

It's not even that's it's a bad game in "This is awful, I don't want to play this", but rather a bad game in the form of "it's not even a finished game and there is no fun to be had". Plenty of other games along the same lines to play from several years ago will give you more to do and feel far more complete. You can find better Unreal Tournament 2004 mods that feel more complete for this sub-genre.

But if I add something like Max Payne which I installed from an old retail copy, it's part of my Steam library? Even though it doesn't have a 12-digit code?

That was so sneaky of them to do! LOL.

Well, I'll wait to see if there's a future upgrade just like Caerith already mentioned. Thanks for the info. I guess I'm ok for now with both BNW and G&K.
 
Anybody know if I can use streaming to stream from my Windows desktop to a laptop running Linux? Seems like it should work.

I haven't used streaming yet but I'd like to try to see how well it works for me.

Yeah, I sometimes see the Russian store page on my iPad, for some reason.
I see the language selector at the top of the screen now, try that.

Anyone else have the problem of steampowered.com defaulting to German language on their tablet browser? I have no clue where it's getting German from, or how to fix it.

Click on your user name on the top right and in the drop down menu select another language. At least that's how it works on the normal website.

Ah, you already found it.

Yes, this is the whole point of SteamOS streaming, being able to stream DirectX games onto other OS's.

remember to use lan cables to get the best performance.
