If there are games on Origin you want to play, sure.

Man, I do have to watch some gameplay videos as well. Sounds like a complete mess.

You can add them to Steam afterwards and use Steam to launch them (and use the Steam overlay even)... I've done this with Dragon Age 2, Dead Space 3, Need for Speed Most Wanted, and Mass Effect 3.

I think pretty much everyone here has Fez, same with Limbo and Bastion.
Yup, Origin even has the option now to close itself after you exit the game which work nicely with steam. That could be an indication that maybe EA will probably add those Origin only games on Steam one day, maybe.
I still don't have limbo lol

I don't have Limbo or Fez. I just don't want to claim Fez since I'm not really interested in it.

So maybe I don't understand how card drops work, and I made some post the other day about not having received a card drop for a while and a couple people posted follow up questions like which game, etc. I looked into it a little more today and this is what is causing my confusion:
Basically Steam says I have earned 3 card drops for Borderlands 2, but I only have 2 cards in my inventory. Is this a bug?

Capcom doesn't release art books and OSTs separately so you'll be able to make a profit on it, assuming you did buy a spare.

LOL. Shame about the tag.
Elder Scrolls Online Beta Key. North American server stress test.

So my laptop can't even maintain 30fps in RE4. There goes that plan... I need to rest of the parts for my rig to hurry up and get here tomorrow so I can get out of this sub-30fps ghetto, man.

Shut up tart toter, you are retired.
What does the game card page say? If you're only seeing two highlighted cards, does one say (2) instead of (1)?
Does ESO even have any servers in SEA?
Backlogger
Member
No, just 1 each. I opened a support ticket so we'll see what happens
That was going to my suggestion regardless of your answer, haha. I just thought that perhaps you'd actually used three drops but only received two cards.
What big MMO has servers in SEA?
rofl, I got boogers on my nose, man.
I know WOW and PS2 only have oceania servers, but the old big-hitters like Maplestory and Ragnarok Online (RIP) had servers in SEA.
WoW does I think
Elder Scrolls Online is available in SEA as far as I know, it has a singapore website and the game is available on gmg in Asia, unlike FFXIV.
I'm in an odd predicament. I bought Mass Effect ages ago on Steam and acquired a free copy of Mass Effect 2 on Origin and I do not own Mass Effect 3. I am interested in purchasing the bundle but I have been told that Mass Effect's save data crosses over into the sequels. How exactly does this work between Steam and Origin? Should I buy Mass Effect 2 on Steam and Mass Effect 3 on Origin or should I buy Mass Effect and Mass Effect 3 on Origin?
Thanks for the feedback.
Oh I almost forgot to ask, how exactly does one acquire the DLC for Mass Effect 2 on Steam anyway?

Lol according to their website they use some funky mega server technology so they can fuse worlds together when player counts are low and separate when player counts are high or something. Good luck trying to play with friends if you're not on the same server.
Also there are only 2 so-called mega servers: US and EU. There goes the asian audience.
The games just look for saves on your system. The Steam versions don't save in a different place so there's no need to play the games through Origin.
You need to buy it with BioWare Bucks.

On the contrary I haven't posted on GAF in a month, browse maybe 1-3 times a week and have been working (my real job as well as my second: writing) most of my free time. I barely log on Steam anymore but I've been trying to make time to play Thief lately. So no, I wouldn't make a very good achievement for anything but game count.
And I do play my games!
Huh...didn't know WoW have SEA servers now.
Most SEA FFXIV players are playing in japan servers AFAIK.
Decent ping too ~100ms.
The game will save in ME save folders under My Documents/Bioware/Mass Effects. It's the same regardless which version you have.
For convenience sake, I'd argue buying the game on Origin is better as it has cloud saves and the DLCs can be bought from Origin now instead of Bioware site.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
Optional god mode is not a negative.
