If you went back 10 years and told me that something that would instantly worry me about a videogame is that it's free to play, I would have laughed.

 

[Corpekata]

Hidden Path's other game Windborne is up now for Early Access too. Busy day for them.

 

[Benedict]

SOme Ninjas took Fairy Bloom Freesias and the Guncraft Desura code it seems...

 

[Htown]

Not sure if it still works, but you can try the Yogscast one for 25% off:
YOGCST-BESTYT-EVERRR

When I looked around it said it expired Friday though.

It does not work.

However, I looked around and apparently you can't add vouchers unless you put a space after the code, so that fixed it.

 

[Annubis]

SOme Ninjas took Fairy Bloom Freesias it seems...

Awww =( I was hoping it would stay alive until I finished work.
Oh well, back to hoping it hits another bundle.

 

[spode]

It just had to bust into dubstep.

My thoughts exactly

 

[Jawmuncher]

Hmm since Steam has lately been adding features that should have been there from the get go. I really hope they can implement something soon that lets you play a game even if it needs a update. I have quite a few on my list that I can't play because the updates are so huge it'll take forever for me to download them over here. I'd be fine if I could just hop on offline mode and play them but that doesn't work. Since as soon as steam detects that it needs an update it prevents you from playing. Even if you have auto update turned off. Which just prevents the game from starting a download when steam is on.

 

[woo and indeed hoo]

Gettin' rid of some codes I got from bundles over the past 2 years, it is possible that the codes may have already been used so apologies in advance. Just quote this post to see the code for the game you want:

Eleusis Steam Code
Taken!

Eleusis Desura Code


Karateka


Paranautical Activity Steam code


Paranautical Activity Desura code


Primordia (99% chance it's already been used)


Guncraft Steam code
Taken!

Guncraft Desura code (let me know if you've taken this as there's another Desura code associated with it)


Fairy Bloom Freesia Steam code


Fairy Bloom Freesia Desura code

Someone has taken that one.

That someone was not me.

You already can do this, if you launch it will ask you to update now and you can select play anyway.

I took this. The steam key was already taken by the time I saw this post so I got the second best option.

 

[def sim]

ugh I can't use the steam overlay with Titanfall. BF4 was the same. What a terrible trend.

Did you try disabling the Origin overlay?

A new game by Hidden Path Entertainment just went up on Early Access:

http://store.steampowered.com/app/221560/

They're really doing well for themselves now. 3 games in development (Chroma, Windborne, and Defense Grid 2).

i was in the closed beta for that one, didn't like it at all...

but a music FPS from Harmonix and Hidden Path? sounds good to me

...and Defense Grid 2

can't wait for DG2! backed it on kickstarter back then and it seems it won't be too long till it's finally finished

 

[Jawmuncher]

You already can do this, if you launch it will ask you to update now and you can select play anyway.

Do I need to be in offline mode?
If i'm connected the only option I get is to View Updates.
The Play Game under it is greyed out.

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

Ooh, Harmonix coming to Steam.

Just a heads up, Amazon will run Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning Steam activated version for $4.99 soon.

[Anteater]

Syberia is great, just solved the drink mixing puzzle, feels good man

Spoiler

couldn't find where the lemon and honey was and it was right infront of me, hard to spot shit in this game

and Kate's friends can go suck a bag of dicks, wtf is wrong with them!?

 

[Turfster]

Nuuvem is doing 80% off LA Noire Complete, making it 9R$/3€/4$

That 4 dollars well spent if you liked to get slapped in the face by horrible characters.

 

[def sim]

Did you try disabling the Origin overlay?

Yeah, still no go. Steam doesn't consider it running once the game boots up.

 

[MarcoZombieCannon]

You mean the events where you chase the tank? Those are the easiest event in the game. You can just go a snail's pace, and avoid everything easily, while picking up ammo. Then unload everything at once once you've got a clear shot.

Yeah, that's what I started doing. it's just been frustrating having so many of my missiles explode for no reason, especially when I can park in front of one of the purple barriers, fire all nine missiles, and waste 7 before one decides to go the extra inch and destroy it. The collision detection is super wonky for those things.

Regardless, I finished the last pursuit event I had to do, now it's all more traditional races and ring races left on the way to get 232 stars/emblems/whatever.

 

[Nabs]

Yeah, still no go. Steam doesn't consider it running once the game boots up.

Damn. I have the same problem with BF4, but I think that's thanks to the shitty browser. I launch the Titanfall.exe from Steam and it has no problems.

Regular version is 5 dollars, the version with all the DLC is 10 bucks.

Weren't those the same prices as the Steam sale, where we all bought it anyway?

 

[Nabs]

Grief should be happy with Alpha Brotocol.

Right?!

I'm showing I paid $12 for the complete edition. I'm not gonna lose any sleep over $2.

 

[The_Monk]

Alpha Protocol is on a sweet, sweet price point since it's been rare for the game to be discounted. I really want to play this but I should focus on my Backlog while avoiding more purchases. But less than 4&#8364; seems so good!

EDIT: And Binary Domain too! HNNNG now this is too much...!

 

[Tizoc]

OK I've updated my giveaway post.
So uh what's the difference between the 2 versions of Dusty's Revenge anyways?

 

[NIN90]

holy cow finally some weeklong deals that aren't totally weaksauce

Oh, I guess this is BUY ALPHA PROTOCOL week.

any impression?

 

[Deques]

What's Gaffer's opinion on Aarklash: Legacy?

 

[SteveWinwood]

Binary domain is probably the best game ever made so you guys should buy it.

 

[Anteater]

alpha protocol is region locked, oh well, and fuck you too sega

and fuck you too konami

 

[Rickenslacker]

Buy Binary Domain.

Well, if you have a controller, the mouse controls suck.

But the game is great. With a controller.

[dream]

Oh man, so many adventure games.

 

[Nabs]

I think the other one comes with an Art Book. They need to label that better.

 

[Jawmuncher]

Binary Domain is definitely something everyone needs to grab.
Alpha Protocol is very hit or miss, depends on how badly you want a RPG. Be warned it's still a fairly janky expierence but can be a good one if you can look over the flaws.

Last Still Life 1 I know at least is a great Adventure game. Never played 2 or Post Mortem.
But if you liked Syberia and such in terms of 3D adventure games you can't go wrong there.

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

• Day One: Garry's Incident 80% off

I laughed.

 

[AHA-Lambda]

What's people's opinion on Steamworld Dig?

I've heard people say good things about it but none of the gameplay videos I've seen have sold me on it tbh.

 

[Anteater]

Still life as good as syberia? I know nothing about adventure games but enjoy Syberia now

 

[Blitzhex]

What's Gaffer's opinion on Aarklash: Legacy?

Try the demo. Game is very cool.
