Dizzy-4U said:Steam noob question: Are there unmoddable games on steam?. I thought all games were the same as retail version
Nope, if you can mod the retail you can mod the Steam version. That goes for all Bethesda games as well.
Speaking of mods, I asked in the Titan Quest OT but didn't receive a response - Is there a mod or something that I can use on the Steam version of TQ that will allow me to change the difficulty without having to beat the game first? I see that there are mods that let you do that sort of thing, but none that I have found seem to work with the Steam version of the game.
Oh wow I didn't even know Myst was available on steam, or that it was even updated in 3D (which is funny because apparently it's been out for a decade).
Definitely going to check this out, I played the hell out of the hypercard version on a Mac back in '94 or so.

Does the Steamworks update for Borderlands mean I'll be able to activate the key I got from Direct2Drive on Steam?
That would be nice.

The developers within Valve who were responsible for Alien Swarm even said that the game was already finished back in April/May, but Valve delayed the release because of Alien Breed.

And yet some folks say Steam is bad for small developers? LOL.
Pleeeeasseeeeee change Borderlands to use Steamworks matchmaking with Steam friends and all instead of Gamespy.
Please?
What's the point in releasing this update if it's just achievements? It would make more sense that they're going the route of Unreal Tournament 3, enabling all copies, even those sold at retail, to activate on Steam.

The problem with enabling all copies of Borderlands with Steamworks support is that the retail copies supposedly did not have CD keys. Valve would need to work around that. Maybe they could do the samething they did with those NBA 2k9 titles that did not ship with CD keys and code Steam to just accept a CD in the drive as proof of purchase.

FUCK YEAH
WTF?
Now I'm intrigued. I actually have the Myst Trilogy on DVD but Riven is a bitch to get working on modern systems (Quicktime incompatibilites). I wonder how they updated the game such that now you need Vista/7.

Just loaded up my character, all achievements i had gotten previously unlocked 27/70 unlocked :lol
Other than that, think thats the only difference, no apparent steam cloud integration
Edit - Achievements like "Discovered such n such place" havent unlocked, but i guess just fast travelling to them all would do the trick Then theres a few others like reviving someone in co-op.
Edit 2 - According to Gearbox programmer "Parnic"

Steam cloud support on Borderlands would've been awesome. It's perfect for that type of game.Ogs said:Just loaded up my character, all achievements i had gotten previously unlocked

Bought Alien Breed two pack. 11 bucks, why not. Game is pretty bad ass though Swarm has better controls (they're pretty similar though it's not as fluid because of the camera turning "drag"). So far there's been a shit load of objectives, and even though I *love* objectives in my shooters there might be a tad too many. Do they thin out over the course of the game?
Gonna try co-op later hopefully. Not expecting Alien Swarm level of awesomeness though it should be mindless fun.
So far the game is like Dead Space + Alien Swarm. If you're a fan of AS and can spare 7 bucks, definitely check it out.
Also can't wait to check out the achievements for Borderlands.

Cyan Complete, awesome
> Missing Myst III, IV and V
Not so awesome. I almost think why bother if they have licensing problems with the remaining games.

Haha it felt glorious getting so many achievements at once. :lol
I don't have any of the dlc; which ones (if any) of the achievements are dlc only?

Eh, I'd much rather them put up what they have now. $20 for all of those games is a good deal IMO.
If Borderlands get Steam Cloud support I will kiss someone. Would love to have my characters centrally stored.
As for the recent compromises: I also got a chat request from dionysus today, which is funny because he's not on my friends list. Steam helpfully told me that we share a GAF group in common (specifically M:TG). Since the hackers are now opting to start routing through Steam groups to find more targets, can I ask that fellow GAFfers who admin Steam Groups politely kick out anyone who gets hacked until they get their accounts back? Because this shit is getting dumb.

They developed V in-house. Their last game. :sad:
Edit for new page: Cyan made Myst V.

You know, something I didn't think about until today...what do people use stolen Steam accounts for? Do they just steal them to try to get email passwords etc.? If they buy games on the account, obviously they'll just lose them when Valve reclaims it.
In this particular case, obviously lots of people are being hacked. If the phisher was telling the truth, he was using a remote access tool hosted by some guy in London (maaaaybe, if so, I had a really lucky guess) through a host machine in Portugal (thus the IP address) to log into people's Steam accounts and browse the web etc.
Now, the guy said he didn't have any time to play games. He said he only plays DotA a bit. He's in a country where classes "aren't called like that" which either means they're not called "college" or he doesn't know that DSP = digital signal processing. He said stuff like "u so stupid" or whatever, but overall seemed to have a good grasp of the English language. Struck me as being teenage/20s. He said it was nice to talk to someone for a change who wasn't just all OMG OMG UR TRYING TO HAX MY ACCOUNT.
So, some young guy in say, Europe is using some system to get lots of Steam passwords, and not play games on them. Is there some market for buying Steam passwords or super-temporary accounts? Do people just do this for fun? Surely there has to be some motivation behind it.

AusGAF had a bit of a CS:S night a few weeks back and towards the end a bot joined who would pretty much insta headshot everyone and then post some URL like valvecheats.com or something to chat. Perhaps people are using stolen accounts to spam advertising to dodgy shit? I don't play enough CS:S to know how widespread this is, but people do the same thing with stolen WoW accounts.
