Speaking of dragging people through pain, it's been a while, relatively speaking, since any of the Anno 1404 apps have been updated. I wonder what's going on with that.

Ubisoft is waiting till they can put it up on the store at the same time as Tintin and King Kong. :)

Interesting, I'm assuming you ordered the PC version? If so, are those generally accurate?

I know the release date they have stated on the store page is completely placeholder, but you would think that they are very accurate with their shipment information.

As much as I loved my time with the PS3 Souls community now that there's a PC option there is no other choice for me.

My experience with Amazon is that they pull release dates out their arse regardless of product. My Eyes of Bayonetta Preorder was up for close to 2 years and I got a revised delivery date at least once every 2 months. It did coincide with my Prime membership renewing so that's probably why it got brought up as when I go to change the delivery options it says there is an error at this time.

Thank our lord gaben for our mighty backlogs to ease the pain.

Edit: I asked a question about using Steam Wallet to pay my humble purchases and got an answer the day after. It was four months ago.

I also asked a question about a new anti-fraud measure and got a reply five days after. It was six months ago.

I also asked a question about sharing Monaco keys ten months ago, and got a reply the day after.

Someone ask when they'll implement changing your login name. I've grown to hate the one I chose almost a decade ago and want to change to something I'll regret a decade from now instead.

Works for me for security reasons, as I never use that login name anywhere else anymore.

March is insane from both a game release standpoint and all the tests I have take. Game releasing closer to the end of March would be better for me. Perfect world it would release over my Spring Break.
 
I hope someone does ask him about EA games and if there has been any progress on getting them to return to Steam (at least GOTY copies ala Crysis 2).

Crysis 2 is an anomaly because it's an EA Partners game. EA doesn't have as much control over those as it does its own titles.

When did you email them?

He already said that he asked almost a week ago. Anyway, humble support has been lacking lately. They will soon be worst support than Steam support

Feb 26th, early in the day.

You got the email acknowledging the fact you contacted them? If so, I bet you will get an answer pretty soon. Seven days is a lot for them.

He said he had a problem seven days ago, not that he contacted them immediately after.

I failed to receive the keys for a bundle I bought almost a week ago at this stage. Despite emailing, I've yet to get any sort of reply.

hoping for Dark Souls PC this month is like JaseC hoping that Saiorse will one day knock on his door and offer him a BJ... it will never happen and youre just setting yourself up for a disapointment

Way to crush JaseC's dreams, man. :(

(Though to be fair, I imagined him at least treating her to dinner and a movie first. He's classy like that.)

Hopefully, thanks everyone for the estimates. I'll give it another few days.

Does Steam still render the key useless if you redeem a game you already had? (I just bought 3 bundles in BundleStars and accidentally pasted a code of a game I already had)

I only accept sexual offers from Oscar-winning actresses so she needn't waste her time. :p

Still? I don't think it ever did.

It was the case originally and for quite a while, too.

It should've told you that you were trying to activate a key for a game you already had on your account. In a case like that, the second key isn't activated and should still be valid.

Is it just me or has the quality of Steam releases gone way way down? Like 90% of the games released in 2014 are total garbage

I'm digging Castlevania. The modern day stuff has been pretty minimal and it is bizarre, but the castle stuff compensates for it nicely.

You are a man of unquestionable taste, and I definitely can sympathize.

I don't know how Jason Sudeikis managed to end up with her, either. (Maybe she has a thing for comedians?) I can only hope dude's grateful for his good fortune. :p

Voted up for you...
I was going to say "You mean like Outland?"... but it's different than Outland since it looks like it's kind of a runner mixed with Ikaruga.
Definitely not a fan of the art style though.

Thanks, man. I'm not a fan of the visuals either; I think they need a lot of improvement, but the idea of an Ikaruga/runner hybrid made me want to try the game out. It's something I'd like to experience.

We're just 24 hours away from HIB 12. My wallet is ready.

So I've been thinking. My enjoyment of New Vegas' story and writing is exactly proportional to how much I hate everything else in that game.

I kind of wish New Vegas was a choose your own adventure book or a point and click game. Just completely remove the combat aspect and this game would be perfect.

or you know... fucking fix the combat so it doesn't feel like I'm playing wolf3d again

You mean the game had a combat? I thought it was just running away of stuff while your sidekicks shoot at them. And if you are really stuck press V and pick the highest number.

Ohh god yes, I made my login back when I didn't realise it couldn't be changed and it still has my old CAL tag inform of it, I've got to many games on my account to move and I would just love to change the login name.

That's how I feel about it. I was initially put off by the modern day stuff, but the rest of the game makes up for it. I can kinda see why everyone is up in arms about the game, but I personally am enjoying it so far.
