Insurgency is leaving early access next week. Does anyone know how many titles have been officially released and left early access?

I can only think of State of Decay so far.

Arma 3, State of Decay, Electronic Super Joy, Huntsmen - The Orphanage and Don't Starve, if that counts.

 

[Eternia]

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.

I had a horrible time aiming with a 360 controller. Maybe I couldn't wrap my head around it for whatever reason but it was by far much easier with keyboard+mouse.

 

[BruteUA]

Hoard is great:

Thanks drizzle!

I get to be a dragon now. Reign of Fire, Brute-style.

 

[SpongeBob NoPants]

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?

Keys for both on their way to your message box.

 

[Mr. Poolman]

My server stats for Enhanced Steam tell me that Enhanced Steam's web traffic for the past week has now surpassed Steam's total web traffic for the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

Gotta start somewhere!

In your face Democratic Republic of the Congo!

 

[jshackles]

So.. you are a Nigerian prince who needs some money?

Unlike Steam (who obviously have customers in the Congo) I'm paying for the bandwidth mostly out-of-pocket.

Although to everyone who has donated - I really can't thank you guys enough.

How does one donate?

Weird, I had 3 Amazon credits and I feel like I am going to be using them all on Origin games due to the lack of deals on games I don't already own in Steam. I used my first one on Dead Space 3 DLC and looks like the Crysis 3 mark down is coming back on the 20th so I might use my last 2 buying C3 and the DLC.

Is there a list somewhere of games that qualify for the game credit that aren't listed on Amazon's site? I would much rather get some Steam games.

I hope you realize that there is still half a month left and they will be adding more games/bundles before the month is over. Last year I didn't even buy anything until the 14th of January and then I used 12 credits in two weeks...

I think everybody is waiting for my first impressions of Human Tanks

Spoiler

don't worry, I know you don't, it's just figure of speech

The game is not exactly what I expected, so far (it's only 2 chapters, mind you, so it might change) it has a lot less gameplay and much more dialogue, almost feels like VN. Now, that's not necessary bad, as dialogue is quite funny at times. To give you an example of what's funny

Like that funny.

The gameplay is a bit like hidden ships game, only you can scan limited area, and have different tanks and attacks, they seem to be upgradable but I'm no there yet.
Also it might be that some achievements are glitched, or I had steam (connection) hiccup, as I haven't got this achievement, even if I got this victory.

sorry for huge pics, I thought I run action to make them smaller, but it seems I forgotten.

 

[ohblahitsme]

So my New Years Resolution was not to buy any more games, and my new game addiction has been satisfied until now through giveaways (thank you guys so much!). But now that Tropico 4 and Strike Suit Zero are in two different bundles and on huge sales I don't know if I can contain myself. I'm about to get like 20 new games.

HELP

 

[Xanathus]

I only have 1 credit, I'm holding out for Amalur Complete.

 

[NaM]

Windows 8.1
i5-3570k
8gb RAM
Nvidia GTX 770
120gb SSD for OS
3TB HDD (1.5 TB free) for Steam/Origin

This seems recent to me, as I've not noticed this since I build the machine before Thanksgiving... I checked the recent Windows auto-update history and there's no record of driver changes.
I did upgrade some Nvidia software the other day, but the only way that would affect anything is possibly because the onboard audio is being output to the TV via the GTX 770s HDMI connection to my TV.

Do you have this problem with everything else like mp3/videos/whatever or only games? Do you have selected nVidia's HDMI as your output in the windows mixer? BTW that's a nice setup

 

[Dipper145]

I already own this game, so I'm giving it away to anyone who wants it.
Its a decent game with cool visuals.

Thanks so much! Was really wanting to play this game!

Although the key doesn't seem to be sending to me right now.

 

[SpongeBob NoPants]

Wow, I really appreciate it!

That is really cool of you.

You're welcome.

 

[jmizzal]

yay more giveaways

thanks for Strike Suit Zero

 

[corrosivefrost]

Thanks.

And yeah, it seems to be everything... and it's not a constant issue, so it seems to be something with the actual sound processing.

Example:
It's not always on high or low notes.
I found a test sound thing in one of the windows dialog windows and was playing it and it would sometimes occur on the upper notes of the scale and sometimes it would play fine.
I also found that if I spam the volume control thing to get a "ding", odds are in the flurry of dings, I'll get the popping/cracking/fuzzing whatever you'd like to call it... distortion.

That was it! Cheers. It doesn't seem as though the key will activate the Soundtrack Edition so I'll fire off an e-mail to DF.

My Humble copy included the soundtrack.

Amazing how keys mount up. Even found a few that I hadn't claimed. Have fun and don't sell, trade, give them away etc.
I give keys with the intention of use by those participating in these Steam threads. Not for a friend of their dog walkers cousin.

That said, its a multi-entry giveaway for a bunch of old bundle keys. Enter for them all if you like.

Thanks kafiend.

Woah... what happened in here in the past five hours. We don't have one, but TWO (Two! AH-AH-AH?) giveaway abusers?

Spoiler

This is why I generally make my giveaways members only. Now I have been given titles by juniors in the past but some abuse it to where I have to make sure they aren't being key traded.

I haven't really heard of any of these, other than Ballpoint Universe, but some of these actually look really good. Who knows, could be some sleepers in there.

Saw Brothers, got all excited, then I realized it was Two Brothers

 

[oipic]

Keys for both on their way to your message box.

These gestures often get lost in the hustle and bustle of the Steam thread (and particularly amid some of the shenanigans of the past several hours), but I just wanted to say that this was very classy and thoughtful, SpongeBob. Nice one.

 

[YianGaruga]

You have to pay tax now when buying from Indiegala? What is this

 

[Fox318]

Saw Brothers, got all excited, then I realized it was Two Brothers

Twice the game as Brothers

 

[AkuMifune]

Twice the game as Brothers

So four brothers, then.

 

[Kuroyume]

Two Brothers was released last month. Costs $15. Bundled at Indie Gala for $1. If I was an early adopter I'd be a little ticked off.

 

[Knurek]

Says it's some EU directive.

 

[Wok]

https://gamesrage.org/

• Project Night
• Ocean Racing
• Strategic War in Europe
• Dark Gates

Pay more than $3.57 to unlock and receive this game.

• QbQbQb
• GoScurry

 

[Nabs]

I can't hold all these bundles. I might jump on that gala one.

 

[HundredEyeMonk]

So four brothers, then.

The Marky Mark movie?

 

[HoosTrax]

Probably some EU thing -- I didn't have to pay tax on a US purchase.

 

[AkuMifune]

The Marky Mark movie?

I'd play that game. As long as the funky bunch were DLC characters.

Uh, seems strange.
Indie Gala is based in Italy (actually in the condo where lives my grandmother ), but I don't recall some new weird taxes being added recently.

I could be wrong tho, as at the moment our dear government is trying to fill up our debt creating random taxes on everything, so the "bundle tax" could be an actual possibility.

Anyway this made me super curious! Could you please paste me their disclaimer part related to this tax?

Note that gamesrage did some kinda scummy stuff with their previous bundle, and that none of these is actually on steam yet.

Well it just so happens that the funky bunch are in the game.. DLC not even needed! Back in the good old days where games were complete....
