HK$70 or USD$70?
Aw fuck, the october release had The Showdown Effect. I've been wanting that for a while
Atraveller bought me a copy for USD$60. The game only supports Traditional Chinese, though, if you care about the whole "play" thing.
I'm acutely aware that I'm not the only person who posts such images (it'd be weird if I weren't), but I tend to be an indirect reference point, because I do post them most often (which, again, isn't often). I do think that in the past the frequency, chiefly if not only perpetrated by me, was an issue, but these days it's very much an occasional thing and discourse tangents are as rare as they are brief. Again, I think it's a visibility thing rather than an actual problem. The only other person who posts Saoirse images with even a remote level of regularity is Classy, who has less than 80 posts.

Most of the dialogues in those games are just useless junk I think
So CoH2 Collectors Edition got another price glitch. That means another chance to get it for a low price. Should I get it?
A difficult choice >.<
I would say USD $70, since converted to HK $ it's ~ $560

Well, I meant relatively speaking of course with the second spoiler. I should've been more clear. In my experience they can still hit you with a slow character, unlike the archers.
I'm gonna have a great deal of problems when I'll eventually get there. T_T
The Russian sub isn't region-locked and is only ~USD$12.12 (so about 7 keys or 6 if you're lucky).
The upgrade is not locked. I thought the collectors is locked
The upgrade is universal and while the DDE itself has an RU-specific sub, it isn't locked.
Finished Gone Home last night. I had to check a guide twice:
the first time I had forgotten to check a room (shame on me!), and the second time the trapdoor failed to open (this wad the game's fault!), the latter of which I fixed by saving and reloading the game.[/spoiled]
I liked the writing and the topics it touched, especially because that was totally not what I was expecting at first. The voice acting was really good in my opinion, and added a lot to the game. Nice little experience, and I should replay it with the developers' commentary.

I don't know, the 2 skinny gargoyles before the archers are quite easy if you have something to hit them from afar and the others gargoyles can usually be fought 1vs1. The 2 archers however can be a real pain. I never even once saw them fall to their death after I blocked one of their attacks. I always had to kill them :/
Just inch forward so that you're closer to the edge after they bounce off of your shield.
well I used to think the same thing but on ng+ for some reason it took me like 6 tries to get past them
so yea I dunno
Cheapest I found is $14. So I wouldn't bother with keys and paypal. I went to Amazon and pressed the buy button. Logged in, and didn't confirm the purchase. I won't play it now anyway
hi all
Ah, that makes sense. But yeah it's kinda weird to have that scene completely disconnected from other events happening within the game (as opposed to 'prior' to the game).

dev commentary is pretty good, go for it
I'll try this next time, thanks.
All this talk of Dark Souls makes me really want to play it again. I must resist until GFWL removal at least!

An English Patch seems to be in work and was released. Partially at least. I actually want to try it out but I can't seem to find a place to buy it from. :/
gamersgate has Skullgirs, 2-pack and 4-pack on sale (-50%) on all

pretty middling to negative impressions by devs on the SC so far
not gonna be long until Valve make it dual stick at this rate :|

I still vastly prefer descriptions of missions in words I can understand, for example: go kill general Wang and his cavalry, but don't touch any others", instead of going and failing without having a clue why.
What Valve has to do with StarCraft?
I just had to (><)
The game's like 100% thumbs down in the reviews. Combined with all the criticism I've seen I imagine it's complete shit, but can't vouch for it.
When I initially got the CE I thought, "Man, this comes with a lot of DLC." Then they shat out a bazillion more DLC. The way the DLC is listed on Steam is really strange as well. Can't find them all on the product page like usual, but they have their own category pages:
http://store.steampowered.com/sale/Company_of_Heroes_2_Commanders/
http://store.steampowered.com/sale/Company_of_Heroes_2_Vehicle_Camouflages/
http://store.steampowered.com/sale/Company_of_Heroes_2_Faceplates
That's not how musou games work!
you can kill everybody and that's the point?
it might seem so, but killing everybody is often not a smartest thing to do!
That is too many DLCs to make me interested in a game >.<
What, the fuck?
Firstly, none of that is shown on the actual product page or links to it. Unless you get the COLLECTORS EDITION, none of the dlc is even fucking listed.
Additionally, TWO BUCKS A SKIN? There are FOURTY SIX of these $2 skins, and 30% of them only apply to Small Medium Large sizes. Each. There are two packs for a 3 CENT savings...but it only has 3 skins. there are two packs. There are four faceplate dlcs at TWO DOLLARS each. If you look at it, it shows literally the only thing is changed is the border of your game. That's it. It's a texture swap. For two dollars. I don't know about you but texture swaps that do nothing but a little big of pizzaz are worth between $0 and 50 cents tops. Now if there are mesh changes, i guess more money. But there isn't.
There's also 19 commanders at 3-4 a pop. So on top of the game being $40 (and that's after reviews and release), they're asking for at least $118 bucks minimum (not including some missions or whatever) for the game. At the very minimum, $53 of these are just texture swaps that should really honestly be part of the cost of the main game.

OMG, so I finally grew a pair and decided to take on the DLC areas in Dark Souls before I challenged Gwyn. I was probably ready to take him on 20-30 hours ago (when my playtime was at ~40 hours), but I've been trying to find everything, join every covenant, upgrade items, and had some fun invading people here and there.
Seemed kind of neat at first. Very...foresty. Reached
, who took a few tries, but wasn't that bad. O&S were worse. He had some annoying attacks that would 1-hit me, but thankfully, his patterns were easy to read.
I have a feeling that this fight will be tough. I'm really curious what follows that, though, or if that's the end of it all. I feel like I'm halfway there, though.

Then I slowly start to descend into the madness and shit gets crazier and crazier. The Oolacile Township slowly got darker and creepier, and the enemies started looking crazier. Following the ectoplasmic trail deeper and deeper underground, there's a weird-ass prison followed by huge caverns. With weird soul-like entities hovering about. I accidentally trigged a false floor, falling down, and then I followed a trail of white ghost cats and...voila, a shortcut! And holy hell, does the elevator take you far down. Then I ran into some...thing named Manus of the Abyss, and noped out of there via bone. Didn't want to risk my 100k souls, which I can't find a use for yet.

It can be tough (but as always with Dark Souls there are easy, medium, hard and trivial methods). If you want to know where you are up to, there is
an optional boss you may or may not have taken on but basically you are at the end of the DLC

So, as someone who's been monitoring this livingroom initiative pretty closely it bothers me to no end when I see people (which includes the 300 testers and devs) go into it completely uninformed. They could spare themselves so many trouble by just reading about it a bit. There's press-coverage out there, tester impression out in the wild, Valve put out materials, they had one panel devoted to the controller at SDD and still... If I were to be selected for a beta, the least thing I could is read-up on it before trying it out. Hell, I wouldn't even sign up for it before informing myself. Just like how I'd expect reviewers to inform themselves before they review a game. Some people have absolutely no clue about this initiative whatsoever, yet their attitude is "oh cool, free hardware! let's try it out, hey this doesn't work, I don't know what this is for, it's so buggy" etc.
On the other hand I question Valve's decision no to implement the controller natively for one of their games at this point. They're talking about the true potential for their controller, yet are letting people getting soured on legacy mode. Sadly, a lot of people are impatient and might as well give up on it completely before experiencing its full capacity.

Nooo.
I remember seeing a dragon. And then running away in fear. Guess I should track him/her down. Which reminds me, I found a Crest Key and...a locked door behind which I could hear weird sounds. Guess I should check that out.
You should indeed do those things.Nooo.I remember seeing a dragon. And then running away in fear. Guess I should track him/her down. Which reminds me, I found a Crest Key and...a locked door behind which I could hear weird sounds. Guess I should check that out.
Well, as for why it's 100% thumbs down:
There was a GAF thread about it, linking to a video where in the first 30 seconds the narrator calls the developers Nazis. I didn't watch the next 30 minutes for some reason.
Maybe the game negatively portrays the man who defended earth from Martians?

Nooo.
Yep. For many, the real dark souls begins here.... so to speak.
That blog post from Tommy Refenes that you linked me was a real good impression on the Controller and the potential it has not just for the 2 games he described but a whole other host of ways it can innovate.
I don't know, maybe it's that a beta means some these to a lot of people now. Even more so that there are a hell of a lot more open betas these days. Seeing as there have been an influx of stress testing betas or some games and software collecting anonymous data and not wanting any participation or feedback that some people are expecting a more finished product.
While giving me the chance to test a Steam Machine would be a bit silly I would have loved the chance to help shape the direction of the final controller. Christ my tastes are eclectic enough to see how it would or could work with a wide range of titles and if was lacking in some area at least providing constructive feedback is pretty much part and parcel of the reason why Valve is doing this.
The world we live in eh?
This make me sad now that by the time I had heard of the madness that is Stalin vs The Martians it was already yanked from Steam. Dodged a bullet, yes but it looks like one of the "so bad it's good" kind of games
.Im watching the youtube now and I can barely understand his accent.
I have a drop today on CS:GO is a P250 - Bone Mask.
I wanted to see how much it costs, but it says no records for this item, as I will be able to sell?
You will have to check the status of the weapon: Brand new, barely used, something like that and search on the market.

it's noon here in GMT +1, so EU gaf is wide awake. Or should be anyway.
Hoard is quite fun, but I imagine it has to be played with actual people and not the AIs.
Finally got around to actually playing Reus as well. Yes, smite them greedy bastard that I created, hahahahaha! wait, does that make me morally accountable? NAH.

Oh rock of ages, do not crumble, love is breathing still. Oh lady moon shine down, a little people magic if you will.
I'm still thinking about getting The Secret World. Looks cool, but eh. MMO's...
Besides, the fact that it doesn't come with a steamkey kinda kills it.
Besides Brothers, not a lot of interesting stuff, no. Too bad.

Yeah, maybe if The Secret World had a steam key I would have bought it, as it looks kinda interesting.
And yep, the only interesting deals were Brothers and the other games from 505 Games (I bought How to Survive and Marlow Briggs).
I guess the best offer so far has been the Freija's bundle, but I already had everything apart from the two Supreme Commander games, so :/
Back when I was on my 2mbit connection, I really wish that all F2P MMOs used Steams patching system. I gave up on so many games when I booted them up after some inactivity and the launcher basically went "You've not played in a while?! HERE, HAVE SEVERAL GBs OF UPDATES BEFORE YOU CAN EVEN PLAY!!"
