Story? GTA IV is just "CAAZIN LET'S TAKE REVENGE ON THE GUY FROM OLD COUNTRY"

No, it's just a lot of bowling with your cousin.

 

[Atraveller]

chances rockstar removes gfwl for gta iv?

If they are going to remove GFWL and Securom, better optimize the game too.

 

[BoosterDuck]

chances rockstar removes gfwl for gta iv?

They couldn't even take out Securom from GTA.

How many DRM barriers are there?

Steam, GFWL, Rockstar Social Club, Securom

how the fuck do I run my shitty console port XD

 

[JaseC]

Take from this what you will:

Well, the GTA4 store page was supposedly recently updated with the following:

Access to special features may require internet connection, may not be available to all users, and may, upon 30 days’ notice, be terminated, modified, or offered under different terms.

I can't confirm this, though, since Steam's age gate trips up Archive.org's crawler, so it's impossible to see an older state of the page.

 

[X05]

I have no idea what to play. I am terrible with procrastination.

Don't play Tony Hawk's Pro Skater HD unless you like being incredibly disappointed

Time zones and regions though

Returning home wasted at 1am is considered quite early here in the River Plate region, most clubs/pubs are practically empty until that time or later.

 

[skullmuffins]

Oh cool, a booster pack! Let's see what's in it...

Oh. Thanks.

Good thing I just sell all my cards on the marketplace. If I was going for badges I'd be annoyed by the number of times I get 2-3 of the same card in a row.

Also, this is super late, but I won I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream from Hinomura a couple weeks ago and just remembered I forgot to thank him for it >_<. I was actually super pumped to win it - I don't play a lot of adventure games, but this one has been on my radar for a while (before it came to steam or GOG). I have a thing for disturbing stories. Haven't gotten around to playing it yet, though I did manage to install it on my old-ass linux laptop, which was something of an accomplishment considering it can barely run the steam client.

 

[zkylon]

i just sell the booster packs straight away

don't need more disappointment in my life

 

[Taco_Human]

Well happy birthday to me. I'd buy myself a game on steam but I work in the morning sadly and I'd rather smart and wait for a steam sale.

There's a mod that removes it so it won't be the end of the world if they don't remove it themselves, would be nice though

Also works for Red Faction

Story? GTA IV is just "CAAZIN LET'S TAKE REVENGE ON THE GUY FROM OLD COUNTRY"

caazin needs to stop asking me to play pool

well it takes a lot of rockstar detours into filler characters and more filler characters but i dunno, it worked for me, tho i'd say it's not really too good

again gay tony is 10 times better on that regard

hmm I'll probably jump on gay tony if I get fed up with the game, it's not bad so far, didn't want to download 15gig yet, lol.

this game looks so good tho with mods

i didn't have much faith going into it since well, it's called ballad of gay tony and i kind of hate rockstar writing but they actually pulled it off

the one gay character from main gta 4 story is also pretty good, at least is less dislakeable than most rockstar characters, so I really wish gta 6 is set on 70s san francisco or something

Woah it looks like I won plain sight. Thanks The_Super_Inframan

I just finished The Walking Dead, Season 2: Episode 1.

I felt like they did a great job of capturing all of the things that made the first series great. I'm planning on playing Episode 2 tomorrow, then the rest as they're released. I know a lot of people were disappointed with the beginning of season 2, but I think it's off to a great start and I can't wait to see what happens.

 

[TheFLYINGManga_Ka]

Wait, what the hell? Revelations is no longer on sale?
Nooooo.
This is what I get for trying to cash in some cards first. ;__;

Yeah, I thought daily deals last till the next morning, LO-what the helL!

not sure about your specific error but gut tells me you should turn off antialiasing

Game has black bars on top and bottom of the screen.

Well I'm thankful to whoever accidentally pressed that button. Now can he or she press the same button for RE6? I wanna round out the collection.

Speaking of REvelations: is resident evil.net supposed to be so gorram slow?

 

[crimsonheadGCN]

I wish Capcom did not pull the RER sale. I was so close to getting it for 2.5 keys.

I wish Capcom would put Dragons Dogma, Okami, Remake, etc on PC and fix their GFWL titles.

Dragons Dogma needs to be on PC. Maybe they can enhance it by making the world more livelier since the console limitations make the game feel empty.

 

[Levyne]

I'd replay Dragon's Dogma on PC. I was a dumbass and beat the game after unlocking all of the paths in Bitterblack Isle but not before beating it, and didn't really want to restart. A shiny new PC release would be motivation to go at it again

 

[zkylon]

yea dragon's dogma is such an easy transition

I guess it's an engine thing or something

Having some issues with Enhanced Steam, getting CPU usage spikes and lag on the all games page, seems to be caused by the "Show achievement stats on "All Games" page" setting.

Could someone else see if it happens to them?

There's an increase in CPU usage and page lag while the achievement data is loading but not to the point of being concerning.

It's causing my entire browser to freeze up and everything lags for a few seconds, even just switching tabs. This is on Chrome btw.

In the console there's an error that keeps repeating: "Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property '1' of null"

Compared to the DSfix'ed PC version, PS3 and 360 versions of Dark Souls look like shit and have constant frame rate issues. I'm not that worried (yet).

For christ sake you people playing South Park would you just STOP sharing your goddamn screenshots on Steam, on Facebook, everywhere?

I don't wanna know FROM YOUR SCREENS, BEFORE EVEN BUYING THE GAME about every single fucking easter egg and fan-only reference and minor characters who make their appearance in the fucking game, and customization possibilities (although RionaaM's chinballs almost made me pull the trigger ).

You have basically spoiled a lot of the fun I was supposed to have with this game. Screw you guys.

Spoiler

I'm going home.

I knew i made the right decision by not investing my time into facebook.

LOL! I'm too sleepy and didn't see that one coming. Made me chuckle.

also i'm like the biggest hypocrite ever since i'm playing xenoblade but w/e

 

[Dr Dogg]

That's true.

Well that's not to say it doesn't have issues (I'm not touching that thread until 25th April) but expectations might be higher due to the PC release took Dark Souls a step up. If the impressions are from folks playing a retail release then it might carry weight but if it's just people commenting on streams or from anecdotal evidence from other players I'd just ignore it until release day when far more people have it their hands.

 

[aku:jiki]

I just checked out Data Jammers, since I got it in whatever bundle, and I have no idea what just happened. It's some kind of lane racing game that's very stylish and has cool music but it moves so goddamn fast that I have no idea what's going on! I guess I'm supposed to dodge enemies and make them smash into the friendlies but it just moves way too fast for that to make any sense and it doesn't feel like I'm in control of anything I do.

On top of that, I spent 29 minutes on it according to Steam and I beat 2 out of 3 available chapters and got 11/21 achievements. It is only €1.99 even without a sale/bundle so I guess that's okay.

I did get the achievement for ending up in the top 10% of scores on my first attempt at a level, though, so I now crown myself king of SteamGAF and master of all games.

Spoiler

I also have no clue how that happened. Some random shit I didn't notice happened and I got lots of points.

Speaking of software, I just noticed that Black Ink had its RU base price increased from 1300 Russiabucks to 4000, which more or less brings it in line with that of the US. I knew I should have jumped on it sooner.
