Oh shit Sudeki! Backlog got crazy when I had it on the OG Xbox so I never got past the midpoint but I'll gladly hop back in now. Not a perfect game by any means but it pretty fun.

Is there a place where people check to see whether a game is up in other countries or do they just experiment and hope for the best?

Yeah, that was actually 1 thing I liked about Far Cry 2. I would be cruising by an outpost I had already cleared only to find out all the guards had re-spawned and would have to clear it again.
There is an option somewhere in the settings to reset all the outposts you have already liberated, but I liked the idea of the randomly re-spawning guards.
The other thing I didn't like in Far Cry 3 is how you could essentially make areas "safe" by liberating outposts in an area making it such that you wouldn't run into random patrols anymore. They should have left it so that there would always be a possibility of running into random patrols.

For those games that were originally GFWL and eventually get ported to Steamworks, it would be nice if they automatically unlock the Steamworks version of the achievements you've already unlocked in GFWL, the first time you start the updated app.
(Not sure if this is the way it will work with Ace Combat, or if this was done with Batman AA and Bioshock)

FC2 kind of went overboard with the respawning, just traveling from place to place and having to deal with the outposts/patrols was just maddening, at least early on. I never finished it for mostly that reason.
it's super annoying :/ trying to help with a purchase

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.

Thinking of picking up Wizorb and Foul Play.
Anyone have any quick thoughts on those two games?
Freedom = $1.05

I've been considering using a trainer to make it so that once you clear a post it's permanently cleared but I wonder how badly that might break the game. I guess it can't be worse that FC3, right?
It's basically a fantasy version of Civilization V. Shallower mechanics, but I still liked it.

Download page on enhanced steam. com seems to be down
Yeah, things get a bit crazy around 10AM when the deals change over. Should be back in a few minutes tops. I'm up to paying about $80 a month now in hosting and bandwidth fees. I have got a few donations this month though, so thank you everyone who has donated.
In the options you can disable it. For Chrome it's: Options -> Price -> Show Regional Price Comparison -> Set to "Never". In firefox just uncheck the box that says "Show Regional Price Comparison".
This is what I tried. It is set to "Never".
Not working, maybe a problem with cookies in Chrome.
I still have the big price box with UK,RU,CIS,US,EU,AU (and all those 35% up and down).

Do you have any other extensions installed? Enhanced Steam doesn't show CIS by default, which makes me think it's possibly the Steam Unpowered Price Comparison extension.
Does the box look like this?
Wizorb is alright, it's basically Breakout with a slight RPG flavour mixed in. You have spells like a fireball to clear out a block, an option to launch the ball from anywhere on the board and a speed reset spell when things get to fast. There is also a tiny village building mechanic where you spend money you get from the levels to open up shops that can sell you extra lives or paddle extenders. It's not that fundamentally different from Breakout like say Shatter but the spells do help you finesse your way into clearing out the last few blocks. It also gets pretty challenging and trying to clear out a board can take a while to line up.
I got it because I played Breakout style games on the PC when I was younger but I don't think I would have liked the style of game as much without the nostalgia, especially locked to a monitor or TV.

Sooo "Resident Evil 4 Ultimate HD Edition |OT| Equipped with balistics, too" ?
Don't disappoint Grief
The first step is admitting you don't have a problem.
Okay, steamGAF I'm going to play a game. Don't give away anything good while I'm gone.

Does anyone here know of any resources someone like me could use to get started with making an indie bundle of my own?
I'd like to put an indie bundle site together where the proceeds would go to supporting Enhanced Steam's server architecture.
I assume I'll need to contact the game publishers and start there, but it would be nice if someone here has any experience with this sort of thing or could put me in contact with someone that's already been through this process that could give me some pointers.

Thanks. I did not even remember having this extension.
It was an okay game to me. The battle mechanics of building a poker hand with any loose cards on the field to create attacks seemed solid. What was a letdown were the very simple and rigid RPG mechanics and your equipment (consisting of cards) didn't seem to influence battles as much as I liked. I often felt I was teetering between dying or winning on a lot of the fights based on luck.
I couldn't get the game to run at all on either Windows 7 or 8.

Unrelated -- are there any games that run in real-time and stuff just happens in the game world without your input and without things descending into chaos / madness? Example would be the X games, where you can just park in a space station and everything in the universe just does its own thing.

FP is almost too easy and gets somewhat repetitive but has a charming presentation. I didn't regret the purchase, best played with a friend.

How does one check the asian stores? Searching Singapore and others doesn't come up with anything.

Man I really like Guacamelee, at least the first hour and a half of it. The memes and references are dumb/funny but the gameplay is simple and nice plus I like the lightweight exploration.
The pressure is mounting.

I like Wizorb a lot, and if you like Breakout style games then it's a good one to have in the library. It gets really challenging (just look at the global achievement stats) because you have to beat a whole run of (IIRC) 10 levels at a time in order to save your progress. You can sort of grind your way through the upper levels by replaying the lower ones for money, though -- which lets you buy powerups and extra lives.
Do you have Raptr? Runespell wouldn't run for me until I disabled it.
http://store.steampowered.com/?cc=xx, where xx is the desired country code. This is how I put together a list of the Asian territories wherein Thief was to unlock (and has unlocked) earlier than the rest of the world, filtered through the free servers FlyVPN offers.
Nope, never had Raptr installed.

That Ubisoft sale was a bit disappointing. Hoping for some if those other obscure games to at least be 50%. Hoping Rayman was 75% off.
But we got the usual: Ass Creed, Far Cry, and Splinter Cell, games we already probably have!

Guacamelee gets rather difficult and you'll have to string together several moves just to get around obstacles. That said, it's a pretty even difficulty curve, and the game slowly builds you up to these moves.

eh.
I'd prefer some roaming patrols every now and then. Now that all the outposts on the first island are clear, the whole thing is pretty desolate. Other than some animals that are basically LMG fodder, there isn't much to shoot.
I get that it wouldn't make much sense from a story aspect, but it makes the game play pretty boring after everyone is dead.
I won't be able to get it day One, only later on so your OT will be all I will have, but sure, no pressure...!
They were during last year's Autumn and Winter Sales. Ubi has slipped back into old habits, it seems.
It may not help, but I know the guys who got their comics in the latest Groupee Bundle. I could check with them and find out. Hopefully someone will have a better answer though.

Neat, thanks. Seems Castlevania isn't coming to any of the Asian countries. Hopefully it unlocks at midnight Eastern but it will probably be pacific.
