Hopefully that fixes your issues, I can't help you anymore than that as I haven't set up a DS3/DS4 as of yet.

Yes, you can. I helped a friend with just that a few days ago.

The only two games I ever kickstarted, Banner Saga and Broken Age, are both releasing on Jan 14th. Weird and kind of unfortunate timing. :/

Introducing the "I'm An Only Child and Would Like a Brother or Two" Bundle

Great name for a bundle.
Also Nice giveaway

Grabbed Brothers myself yesterday even though it's going to be free on PS+
Figured it'd be a nice game to have on steam and 2.49 is a good price.

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.
What is the cheapest its been on Steam? IsThereAnyDeal seems to indicate $15, but I swear its been ~$7.50 but I don't think its been any cheaper. $4 is hard to pass on even if its Origin

I purchased the complete pack on Steam on March 16, 2013 for $24.99. I believe that's the cheapest it's ever been, and I believe the regular version was $15 at the time.

Just finished GRID 2 fellow GAFfers:

RKcb6Fv.png


First of all, the game looks really nice on PC. Smooth 60 FPS great lightning, good sound engine and it's great to drive in the city at night with all those lights and fireworks. The Career is divided in 5 Seasons, each one with different parts in the World such the US, Europe, Asian and so on. The objective is to bring this racing sport ( a mix of racing, drifting, checkpoints, etc) to a Worldwide competition where the driver have a wider selection of different cars to master different types of engines and roads.

- I own 55 Cards on Career mode which is fine but on the other hands there's some nice cars (and most important, tracks) that are DLC only. Too bad.

- You can't upgrade your cars on Career! Only in Multiplayer which I tried but not only is a bit empty most of the players are really high levels that destroyed me.

Some less optimal things that I noticed:

- The most obvious for most of the people is that there's no Cockpit view. To me this was fine since I love watching my cars while driving (they look really nice).

- The HUD may seem a little blurry but nothing serious.

- My keyboard messed up with this game. Everytime I tried to shift + tab to chat with some GAFfers some letters would just freeze while typing getting something "thisssssssssssss" which, in order to solve it, I had to remove my USB cord from the PC and connecting again. Funny thing is, after I reported the problem in here, it seemed that more GAFfers decided to chat with me just when I was playing this game
you were doing this on purpose don't you, huh? HUH? ;)

Overall I had great fun with the game and I finished clocking around 22 hours. If you like similar games, I truly recommend GRID 2. I think there was some recent hints that 2014 may bring Dirt 4 so I can only hope they focus more on rally racing and less on those side activities.

Yeah it was weird, because it was the same day they lowered the base price from $59.99 to $29.99. So the daily deal was 50% off, but in reality it felt like 75% off.

At least, that's how I justified it to myself.

It's like they're not even trying anymore.

Miner Wars 2081 has been in 3 bundles, and Miner Wars Arena has been in 4. Space Engineers is $14.99 on Steam. So I guess if you just couldn't wait for a discount on that, you could save $1 and get a few bundle fodder games for free.

It's quantity over quality with IndieGala bundles.

good notes Monk. Loved the first one and looking forward to start this next time I want to play a racing game.

Thanks a lot Boss, I only played a bit of the first one and it was on the console but I know that many people liked the first Grid. The most critical negative feedback to this game was, like I mentioned, no Cockpit view but it's a decent game so you should give it a go when you have the chance.

Community-Hosted Livestream Highlights Indie Games
http://store.steampowered.com/news/12203/

Valve said:
Indie game developer "Robot Loves Kitty" and community indie game review site "Greenlit Gaming" have teamed up to create a 48-hour Twitch livestream event to highlight indie games from Steam and around the internet.

Called The Supershow Collective, the event will spotlight 60+ Indie games(and their devs!) from Steam, Greenlight, and around the web. The event will have gameplay, casual dev interviews, special guests, giveaways, and sneak peeks.

The show is scheduled to start at 7pm(est) on January 10th, and will showcase titles including:
• Torchlight 2
• The Novelist
• Risk of Rain
• Starseed Pilgrim / Asphyx
• Continue?9876543210
• Tetrobot & co.

The Supershow Collective was created by the indie devs at Robot Loves Kitty and the team at Greenlit Gaming. Their goal is to bring devs and players together to celebrate indie gaming.

Tune in to the show easily by going to the Supershow Collective’s Twitch page: http://www.twitch.tv/team/ssc

The show starts on Friday January 10th at 7pm EST (pre-show at 6:30). Greenlit Gaming will treat you to games from Steam and Steam Greenlight on The Indie Showcase.

Then at 7pm on the 11th, Robot Loves Kitty will intrigue you with indie games you might not have heard of, but really should have, on the IndieDev Supershow.

The HUD looks that way because they applied Chromatic Aberration to it.

I love playing Codemaster games with the HUDs turned off since they almost always let you. Grid 2 plays great and you usually don't need most of the information it provides. Even the track map is just a crutch.

Yeah I remember that day, also I remember when Tony said that Kingdoms of Amalur would be on sale on Amazon (steam keys), but a few days later it was on Steam so I didn't hesitate in buying the complete pack on Steam, and I think that was the best decision I've ever made!
 
Heh, I've got to the point in XCOM EU when all I need to do is the very final mission and I'm done. Except I don't have the enthusiasm for it :/.

So instead I've fired up Papers, Please and already adore it for the wonderful opening :D. Just checked my settings so now I'm going in! Don't try and pull a fast one on me people! No mercy!!! *evil grin*

Oh and adding Prey earlier took me to 200 games! :eek: In six months or so that's pretty scary! :/

The spirit of Tony has been dead ever since he failed to keep that promise.

Wait? Prey is a rare steam game?

Local enough HMV has loads of PC games being stock cleared for €1 each, and there was loads of Prey copies in those boxes.

hmmmm
 
Ok, so as a new guy to this, i'm assuming these "rare" steam games people keep mentioning are games that have been pulled from the store? Since i've become super obsessed with the Trading Cards, are there any games pulled that had them

As far as I know, the only trading cards you can no longer get belong to "No More Room In Hell". It's a free mod, but it used to drop trading cards. Then the loophole got fixed and they took away the ability for free mods to drop cards.

It's usually the best way to play a racing game. ;) I love to have a minimalist view while just driving my car.
 
Well I had a rubbish first day as a passport checker person :/. No heat or food for us tonight! I think it might be best if I try again another day when I'm less tired and a bit more compos mentis :).

Congrats on hitting the big 200, Woo! Though you're going to have to work harder if you want to catch up with Saoirse JaseC! ; )

:eek: No thanks! No offence to Jase but I'm stressed by my backlog enough as it is!
