[Dolor]

Achievements translate to more fun for me while I'm playing the game. Cards are just a tertiary addition that increases my Steam Wallet or, if I really like the game, some badge for my profile.

I obviously prefer achievements, but I realize its completely subjective. The inclusion of achievements probably could have swayed me to a day one purchase, but the game does release right before the massive gauntlet of games releasing from the end of February through March.

Yeah, it's all subjective. For me, I really like that I can collect the badges as a kind of a memento of the games I really liked. It's nice to be able to look through the badges page I have and quickly see all my favorite games and get a nice sense of overall great game nostalgia. That does more for me than the achievements I've gotten, but obviously YMMV.

But yes, it is all personal preference, and my personal preference is for both .

PEGI version of South Park is cut? They removed the Swastikas. Oh man.

German version cuts : The character class "Jew" is now "Paladin".

I wonder what THQ would have done.

the same...

you can't have swastikas in the german version, it's no problem in the show cause Movies/TV = art, games = toys... i know it makes no sense

 

[Cindres]

Do you feel comfortable with downloading 25GB.

Check your library

My internet's fast as fuck, it'll be fine.

Found it, cheers guys.

 

[JaseC]

Just a heads up, the same thing is true of the Might and Magic Heroes VI: Complete Edition, even though that one lists the DLC. I purchased it in the last sale, and Steam says I don't own the expansion packs. The key Steam gave me activated on uPlay as the "Complete Edition".

Yeah, I remember buying a bunch of Might & Magic stuff last year and having to dig through the registry to see exactly which sub contained what. I can still buy M&MH6 Gold and Complete because of the key DLC.

...I might do that, actually.

Edit: It'll have to be next time.

Americans making fun of Jews. Its okay. Americans are making fun of jews in german? Yeah no not okay.

It really makes no sense.

Great game!

 

[The_Super_Inframan]

Americans making fun of Jews. Its okay. Americans are making fun of jews in german? Yeah no not okay.

It really makes no sense.

nobody has a problem with the humor/jokes, it's just that games are considered toys in front of the law and can't have any nazi symbols in them...
the show was never cut over here


and by the way, the jew class was not renamed to paladin!

the only thing that is cut are the swastikas, no big deal imo.

luckily i have a ROW version of the game without cuts.
but who knows, maybe i still can only play the cut version or ubi changes the subid or something like that

 

[Syphon Filter]

Why in the world did they remove pausing a download by right clicking it? Now i have to go to manage downloads and then pause.

How is Nuclear Throne according to SteamGAF? Got a 50% voucher after badge crafting, reviews on Steam are great and I don't think it will become cheaper anytime soon.



BroHo is still best Ass after Ass2.

(1) If you don't end up wanting that coupon, I'll put it to use. I watched someone play a bit of Nuclear Throne and it piqued my interest enough that it's been sitting at the top of my wishlist... but it's never been lower than it's current price, so 1/2 off would push me over the edge on it.

(2) I respectfully disagree. I don't know about Brotherhood being "best after AC2", but based on what I thought of AC2, that's not saying much.

PEGI version of South Park is cut? They removed the Swastikas. Oh man.

German version cuts : The character class "Jew" is now "Paladin".

I wonder what THQ would have done.

Blame Canada.

--

For Uraizen (or anyone else who may have finished Strider):
Are there "large canisters" in the Tower? The green blips on the map? It's the only "collectible" achievement I'm missing, but I can't find any info on locations on the internet and as far as I can tell I have all of them in areas I've been to checking through the world map. I'm trying to back up my save now so I can just restore my current save after beating the game if I did somehow miss one and there isn't any in the tower.

Someone else asked in here, but I don't recall seeing the answer: Does anyone know where Strider saves to?

Great game!

Dying to play this, bad as it looks. Looks so bad it's amazing.

Crysis 3 isn't on Steam, I think you'll have to put it in Origin. Don't know if gamestop has it's own client.

You need to use the app to get the code for the game but then you can delete.
Pretty archaic but its a quick process

They do and it's annoying.
I installed it for 3 minutes yesterday to get my product key, redeemed it on steam, then uninstalled the client (impulse).

Edit: Ah I see you found it. Well for others who don't know.

Find where your review is first of all, usually I just go to the game page and click on View your review

Once you get to your review, you should something to the right saying OWNER CONTROLS with an Edit Review and Delete options. For me it looked like the following.

I know the multiplayer and Heroes of Stalingrad are separate downloads but....I never expected this.

I'm curious as to what this unfortunate wording was.

Nothing criminal really, I had in mind that recommend a game even for those not interested in franchise, and I wrote and haters alike, I know from experience that such humour doesn't work in reviews, so I wanted to edit it out.

I don't think the first two GTA games were ever listed on Steam. They were probably included in GTA franchise packs at one point but as far as I remember you could never get them separately since they're free from Rockstar directly.
