To everyone who thanked me for the keys: No worries. :)

The discount has been applied an hour early. Unsurprisingly, the DLC is still full price.

Edit: I'll offer a reminder that despite what the Eastern European store pages say, Remember Me's RU/CIS sub is in fact not region-locked.

Forcing Nvidia's ambient occlusion in Batman Arkham Asylum makes a massive difference compared to the in-game AO settings. Feels good to be green.

I would jump on Remember Me if I didn't just buy a bunch of video games to play this week.

That said, Ground Zeroes should have been on PC. Silly Konami.

Started Brothers to continue the feels.gif trip.
Controller scheme so far makes my brain hurt (and I played Cookie & Cream on PS2).

As far as my experience, the" feels" of Brothers mostly consisted of frustration, annoyance, cliche, and predictable.

As far as an actual story that evoked some sort of emotion/feeling? To the Moon has it and Brothers does not.

Them Yaiba reviews =V
I wonder if the game had development problems...

Reviews are pointless, especially those from mainstream outlets.

I would be very surprised if MGSV did not release day one on PC. Ground Zeroes content will be included with that release, so we shouldn't miss much.

Not sure if I should jump on Thief for 37,5$ on Amazon or the Master Edition for 40$ on Newegg. How is Newegg for Europeans?

It was around $25-$30 before it was even released. Price on that game is expected to drop like a stone as well.

I'd wait a little longer. Squeenix games drop in price quickly. And not as if it's a must-play game to play now according to user reviews.

This is my expectation, as well. Kojima wanting a PC release says as much, anyway.

Ground Zeroes is, straight up, the prologue to V so a GZ+V combo would make perfect sense.

Jshackles, I have a very strange bug with the add custom funds to steam wallet function.

Try to add custom funds, won't work, give in, add the $5.00 it defaults to.
Purchase completes.
Go back into add custom funds, add remaining balance, find that it now works.

This happened the last time I traded with keys and it's just happened to me again now.
Chrome, of course, with the latest ES.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.

There is currently a bug in the 5.9 code, that's been fixed in the dev version of 6.0. Valve made a change that caused one of the values to change type, so Enhanced Steam checks to see if your value is above the minimum amount.

Originally, it would see "5.00" as 5 and (for example) "14.95" as 14.95. It properly converted the values to numbers.

Since the change they made, it makes "5.00" into "5.00" (a string value) and "14.95" into "14.95" (also a string value). When Enhanced Steam does it's determination and sees that "5.00" > "14.95" ("5" is higher than "1") and causes the value to revert. However, if you type in "9.99" it'll see that as "9.99" > "5.00" ("9" is higher than "5") and allow it.

Sorry for the long explanation. Anyway, Enhanced Steam 6.0 should be available later this week if all goes well. In order to fix this sort of thing going forward, I've simply removed this check in Enhanced Steam. If you enter an incorrect amount, the checkout process will throw an error.

What is wrong with the people making the backgrounds for the Deus Ex trading card crafts. They don't ever properly gradient them leaving a hard seam in all of them.

This would've been cool if it didn't just abruptly end.

People would still complain it's too expensive :/
Click to expand...

For anyone not a Nintendo fanboy, it would be in the PC space.

15$ for a digital relase, add 10$ for Nintendo royalties, and 5-10$ for DVD packaging and distribution to compare to the retail price. This is barely a discount price.
