It made sense!

I would have BTA if Joe Danger 1 was in it. Mostly because of OCD though.

 

[HundredEyeMonk]

Is Two Worlds and/or Two Worlds II any good? I do enjoy RPGs but haven't played them. Prefer open ended-style RPGs.

And do I need to play TW to follow TW2, or are they good independent?

 

[Grief.exe]

Hi guys, sorry for the basic question here.....

Seeing as all my PC components will be here over the next few weeks i've started looking in to digital distribution. GamersGate currently have the STALKER games collection for £8.50. Ive noticed these are not STEAM keys though, but the titles are available through the STEAM store.

Is there much difference in buying direct through the steam store to buying somewhere else and adding a shortcut to them to your steam library?

Not really.

They are more difficult to reaquire after a reformat as you will likely forget about your gamersgate account, and Steam will not track your play time.

STALKER: Clear Sky also had Tages on retail and has been removed from the Steam version. Not sure whether this also pertains to the Gamersgate version either.

 

[kulapik]

I would wait to see if someone posts Hoard or other games for giveaway, but I have to study ;_;

 

[drizzle]

Humble Indie Bundle X Extra games

• HOARD
• Strike Suit Zero
• Toki Tori 2+

Yup, have everything.

Oh well, I always pay BTA for Humble Bundles, no matter what.

 

[Curious_George]

Ugh...

only one I'd want is Toki Tori 2+ and I already own it. I guess I kind of regret grabbing both Runner 2 and Toki Tori 2 during steam sale now. This bundle would have been more enticing if I hadn't just purchased both games.

 

[Fuu]

I got this when I redeemed Toki Tori 2+. Makes sense.

They're kinda janky, but enjoyable.

 

[dark_inferno]

Maybe we get a second Bonus? Like Humble Indie Bundle 3 where we got the awesome Atom Zombie Smasher.

Yeah i know we wont get another bonus but i want to dream.

Hey thanks for the swift reply, CS is DRM free. Think i'll go ahead and but it in preparation for my rig

 

[Freezard]

Yay. Guess I can pick up the missing Darksiders II DLC now.

 

[Glass Rebel]

What I mean is that in order to have fun in MG:R, I have to learn.
When I play DmC, I'm having fun right away. If I have to learn more or less is immaterial. The point is that I have to invest much more time and energy before I see any payoff.

The first few hours of MG:R are just frustrating, especially the boss fight with the wolf thing. Even now that I can survive I still fell extremely clumsy and out of control most of the time. It isn't conducive to flow.

I guess the tradeoff is just that much bigger in MGR, at least for me. Nothing in DmC was as satisfying as perfect parrying in MGR and I found every single enemy more engaging. Except for the Drekavac.

Different games, different audiences.

 

[KenOD]

Is strike suit zero actually any good?

Tis a decent cockpit and later mech star fighter game that looks quite lovely for it's outerspace and views of planets, but it never really does anything too amazing gameplay wise. I believe it's worth getting at the price shown.

Strike Suit Infinity, the sequel, is a better game, taking the mechanics and improving them in a high-score combo game.

 

[JaseC]

Call of Pripyat uses StarForce, Clear Sky is DRM-free and Shadow of Chernobyl uses SecuROM. 1/3 isn't completely awful!

Horray, I didn't buy Toki Toki 2+

If somebody have an extra Toki Tori 2+ I would gladely take it to pass it on to one of my daughters.

PM'd you Toki Tori 2+

 

[ILoveBish]

I got puzzle quest for 99 cents and I love it. I truly wish they would do a android port of it one day.

Thank you based Gaben anyway.

 

[Madridy]

iirc there is an option in the menu to refresh your games list.

Try refreshing the games tab, or restart Origin.

Tried both, no luck.

 

[jshackles]

Just got a booster pack, one of the hardest decisions yet: sell or unpack?

Usually it's cut and dry - if the pack sells for more than the average cost of 3 cards, sell it.

In this case, the booster is for RIPD: The Game. The foils are listed between $8-$60. The booster sells for about $2. Regular cards sell for about $0.15 each.

Nice. Already have HOARD, but not the other two

Clear Sky is also the worst game in the series.

 

[Turfster]

Not worth the gamble, separate cards are way less.

There's a puzzle quest 2 on Android.

i wish there was more "collecting" to the trading cards, instead if you have a full collection you get rid of them

no joe danger 1? son of a bitch >_<

You can still click the cards afterwards and see the full images.

 

[trailmix16]

whoops didnt see that edit. That's a tough choice

 

[jshackles]

roll those dice jshackles

I know it's a stupid decision, but I'm so tempted to open it. It doesn't look like the foils are selling well, for obvious reasons, but the booster packs are. Probably just going to sell it. Bought the game for $3 so getting another $2 out of it would not be too bad.

i wish there was more "collecting" to the trading cards, instead if you have a full collection you get rid of them

In the beginning, they were talking about having a "binder" where you could view all of the cards you've collected, including the ones you'd already turned in. I haven't heard squat about it since then, though. Valve time, I guess.

 

[Terra_Ex]

Valve should have made some kind of card battle system out of it with randomised stats. Steam version of Triple Triad would be glorious.

 

[KenOD]

Thank you to the anonymous giver for Hoard, of all the people I don't know, you are the one I'm thankful to most recently.

You can still click the cards afterwards and see the full images.

I do appreciate the additional artwork we get for most games. Some, such as Finding Teddy, made the whole trading card system worth it to me even if they lost the selling aspect someday.

Broken age can't be library shared

Maybe because it's not actually out yet?

 

[HoosTrax]

Now Available on Steam - RaiderZ

I totally thought this was yet another post-apocalyptic zombie survival game that's riding DayZ's coat tails.

Also -- is Strike Suit Zero a kbm game or a 360 game? I don't remember if I put my batteries in the charger.

[Sajjaja]

KOTOR isn't in the Kyle Katarn Adventures bundle that's on sale, tho.

Kyle Katarn advantures are best. KOTOR overrated. Haven't playeed KOTOR2 yet though.

 

[chrominance]

Kind of a shame I already own nearly everything I wanted in HIB X (though Toki Tori 2+ was unexpected and welcome), because just taken on its own merits it's actually quite a good bundle. Papo and Yo, To the Moon, Reus, Surgeon Simulator 2013 and Strike Suit Zero are all games I thought were great, and you get them all for six bucks. That's straight-up nuts. And that's not even considering Joe Danger 2 or Runner 2, which aren't my cup of tea but probably are for a lot of other people.

In other words: just barely an interesting bundle for me, but for anyone who doesn't own that bundle why have you not already bought it, the end.

 

[The Illiterati]

Anyone know why Steam would be down for me, both website and client? I know in theory Enhanced Steam has nothing to do with it but having it pop up and tell me Steam is down rankles me when it seems to not be a widespread issue!

Thanks! I had it in my cart when I bought the Doujin bundle but changed my mind at the last minute! Finally get to play it!

 

[Head of Vengarl]

I probably should have asked this before entering for the C&C Red Alert 3 Uprising giveaway, but is this a good game to play as my first RTS? The only other strategy game I've ever played was Advance Wars Dual Strike, and that's a turn-based game. Should I get the original C&C Red Alert 3 and play that first?

 

[jshackles]

If you have the standalone version, you'll need to launch the app each time your computer restarts. But if you're seeing the error message from Enhanced Steam itself, that's probably not the issue. That typically means that you cannot connect to the Steam store.
