Support NeoGAF

[kulapik]

This two weeks I've been banned I've been pretty disconnected from the Steam universe. Apart from Battleblock Theater coming (registered in the beta already), the Gabe AMA and Family Sharing going full release (shame that my college has Steam blocked because I would share my games with my friends), what's been happening?

I'm #726 in line. Not really into these games so don't care if I don't get one. I'm sure it will end up in some other bundle in the next 6-12 months anyway

Total units: 11

Welp

Spoiler

We are some filthy leechers, aren't we?

 

[RionaaM]

Yeah, GAF is pretty consistent here: the Origin thread is in Gaming, as are the uPlay, Capsule, Gamefly, GameSpy, GameTap, and GameStop Digital Downloads threads.

It's a regular rainbow coalition of platforms here.

The absolute worst is the Direct2Drive thread. When it was closed, everyone lost their posts there.

Who the hell even wants hacker evolution for free even?

 

[masterkajo]

Hm, just wanted to activate my South Park code which I got from mmoga.de but apparently it won't activate due to Ubisoft screwing up and not removing the swastika for the German and Austrian version. Since I live in Austria it won't activate for me now. VPN doesn't help, my best guess is because the code is for a German version.

Anyone got any experience with Greenmangaming? Will the code from Greenmangaming work in Germany/Austria. Would I have to use US, UK VPN to activate? I want to play now and not wait for a even more censored version.

Thanks guys.

Is Kairo in a bundle somewhere? It looks amazing, so if I can get it on sale somewhere I'd probably hop on that.

From what I've seen from steamgaf giveaways, just one guy. His name was Bob. He enjoyed pies.

I applaud you.

It's in the current blink bundle.
It's also 75% off on GMG.

I wanted it to complete the trilogy because I had the other 2 from bundles and now that I won it on Steamgifts I realize it was such an empty want.

Aw, I'm not really interested in any of those other games though.

This I might go for. There's a coupon out there for an extra 20% off, right?

Let's see

South Park and RE4 released, they are awesome.

Dark Souls registry file updated to clear the way for Steam Achievements.

 

[zkylon]

it's so crazy how having like a youtube video paused on the background kills my dolphin fps

super weird

 

[Rickenslacker]

I always find it super annoying when games don't properly track game time on Steam. The Quake 2 mission packs register as just Quake 2 while you're playing and only add time to that, and not the individual packs.

Thankfully that doesn't happen too often, with the only other case I can think of being Invisible War. It was wacky and had different executables for the main menu and the game itself, making Steam not even show you as in-game once you actually started playing. But I want Steam to know how much I played. I want it to know.

Wow that is really goofy. You couldn't run the main menu executable after you were already in game?

 

[Turfster]

People still use flash youtube instead of html5 youtube?

 

[pretty done]

Didn't know where to ask this but figured this was the best place

Anyone know of a fix for Windows 7 Ultimate constantly defaulting my monitor to 59hz? I tried something in nvidia control panel making a custom res and setting the refresh rate to 60.001hz but it never sticks with the custom res and just defaults back to 1920x1200 regular. Really annoying :|

 

[oipic]

I still stumble across many videos on YouTube that aren't available via HTML5, unfortunately, which renders the official YouTube iOS app a bit hit or miss.

 

[Sarcasm]

Flash or html5 regardless is still a crap shot for me on youtube.


For everywhere else either is fine.

Do note that yt runs awesome on my Z1.

 

[Salsa]

Battleblock Theater is coming? rad

I gave up on proper gameplay tracking once cards came out.

it's an easy decision between being tracked correctly (when it can also fail for a number of reasons) or free money for 'idling'

 

[Rickenslacker]

Was trying to test it out now but IW is being more of a hassle than normal, so I'll have to see whenever I end up replaying it. Certainly seems like it would work.

Do you have any idea if the achievements are the same from GFWL?

I can understand the frustration, I enjoy going back through the 'games played' list as it gives me memories of some great games.

Do you have any idea if the achievements are the same from GFWL?

The PS3/360/PC achievements are all the same so I would venture a guess that they would continue that trend for the Steamworks version. They already have all the hooks in place for those achievements anyways.

Got Resident Evil 4, Ikaruga and Gianna Sisters (the new one). Did I do good, GAF?

2/3. You pass.

Someone in here mentioned the "top of the tule tree" in guacamelee earlier today. I now know what you mean. Just did it x_x

Now a 3 out of 3 would of gotten him a nice chunky chocolate chip cookie, but alas he didn't get a perfect score.

I exit out of Colonial Marines and it kept launching itself again. What a clingy game.

I'm always happy with a pass. I'll make it up next term.

It's not so bad at $2, but I need a break!

Buy a key from Nuuvem. It'll be for the uncensored version and you'll get it instantly.

i still remember, finding relics was like pain in the a$$

 

[ChimpanzeeThat]

I've been looking on GAME.co.uk as they have a sale for BAFTA nominated games, and i just noticed their physical copies of games are cheaper than digital downloads.

That's just the BAFTA games, the rest are more or less the same.

Is it cynical of me to think they're doing this on purpose or am i missing something?

 

[Turfster]

Physical copies are stock that takes up space. You want that space back, so you can drop the price. (Physical PC release prices for the UK have always been much lower than pretty much everywhere else due to rather stupidly competitive pricing anyway)

 

[MMBosstones86]

Impressive.

Thanks. ONLY 35ish hours...

Most weren't too bad. I picked up almost all during the story, just left a few until after. A couple were pretty awful to get.

All those games register on Steam so it could just be trying to get rid of stock.

 

[ChimpanzeeThat]

Nice one, i remember having everything except for the letters and the relics, so i had to grind out to get them all. What annoyed me was that the letters are in old bunkers and if you have them marked on the mini-map, it's not easy to tell if they're on the same level as you.

 

[Salsa]

Tomb Raider is nominated for a BAFTA? is it like the "shittiest game ever" category?

I didn't think of them trying to clear out stock, that would explain why Brink is only £3 haha.

I don't know if I should be jealous, it was doing that to me too.
