Batman: Arkham Origins - Cold, Cold Heart DLC Launch trailer

Oh nice, it's downloading now. It does remind me that I never ended up playing the previous DLC.

I hope there's a sequel. I'd assumed that Matt and Trey would be against another game considering the rocky road Stick of Truth had to shelves, but Matt recently said that they're not against the idea and it ultimately depends on how well-received SoT is.

Hopefully they do, Stick of Truth was excellent and would love to see another one.

So GAF what're some must have racing games to own via Steam?
I only have:
Burnout Paradise
Sonic Racing Transformed
Skydrift

Grid is good, haven't played 2 yet.
Anything by Codemasters will at least be decent.

Steam GAF seems to like Dirt 2.

Blur
Next Racing Game

You guys missed Sega Rally and Outrun

[OldAsUrSock]

That looks like Metal Greymon in some gritty Digimon reboot during the insect apocalypse.

Holy crap you are right, now where is Taichi?

Ooh, Gamefly indie sale? What?! Only 33% off Banner Saga?! (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻

I've already told you guys it's Introducing VVVVVV. Stop these shenanigans.

What are your issues with the port?

Constant stuttering which gets worse until your memory is full and the game crashs is the most severe one. Can be reduced by limiting the game to one core but it doesn't run smooth. Too high system requirements for how it looks, it can bring high end systems down. Many scripting bugs and other smaller issues, I'm sure the Steam forum is full with threads about this. Not everything is port-related but it's obvious the dev was in the process of getting shut down.

Was Grid mentioned? Dirt 2 was and I enjoyed the lesser liked Dirt 3 almost as much. And even Dirt Showdown.

Can any of you Steam database experts take a quick nosey and confirm for me if Clan Of Champions is region free/cross trading free ? It's from 2012 so I think it's fine from looking on Steamdb.

Just one of those games I've always wanted (it's basically like Gladiator Begins and I loved that game) but it's for me like Timeshift is for JaseC. The bastard is never on sale, like ever. Might pick it up on payday if I can get it cheaper.

 

[jaundicejuice]

It's fine on Nvidia cards but I know that AMD cards it can be a pain to run.
Due to some sort of leak of memory or something.

That might explain why I've had no issues then.

Cheers dude Might see how much it's going for on the trader sites then, Russian copy seems to be a decent price.

You should be able to nab it for 12 keys/$23.50.

$9.99.

Oh look, another bundle game (Groupees Build a Bundle 4).
Wonder if we'll get keys.

Don't know about the Co-Op ones, but the single-player ones are easily doable in a 10-hour playthrough. You will need a guide on where/how to get them, though, so you don't pass them up in the course of the playthrough. You can always start a new game at the beginning of a level, but you may want to plan to get them on the first time through.

FlatOut 2. Great fun arcade racer with emphasis on physical racing, pushing the opponents out of the way and crashing into things. FlatOut 3 is a horrifying piece of crap game that you shouldn't ever even consider buying. Ultimate Carnage is graphically nicer than FlatOut 2, but it is really just FlatOut 2 for the Xbox 360, which is why it uses GFWL.

I just scanned an Anarchy tag, and had that happen. I hope it's not an issue, I made it through the main game without problems.

 

[KiDdYoNe]

Begging time!

Not sure if anyone remembers me, since last few months i just read you guys, but still. Maybe anyone will find himself in a situation, when you got new Bundle Stars bundle and don't really need the Call of Juarez — i'd really love to get it. Charity or few cents from me — works both for me. Thanks guys!

Thnks for your reply.
10 hours in 3 days' time requires some commitment, but it sounds like pretty much doable if I start right away.

I only 100% the Singleplayer and those achievements listed aren't that hard to get. You might get them on your first playthrough if you are like me who wants to hear every bit of dialog and discover every place in the game a bit further. Also you can easily pick a mission if you missed one of them during your first playthrough.

Nice, hopefully we can get a GAF Tabletop Group going soon.

 

[Rhaknar]

I already have the game thanks to Dundy so, yeah. Game on.

I think it was called the Winter Wolves Manga Game Bundle.

Yep, still waiting too. One day I'll have it in my Steam account.

 

[Gianni Merryman]

Yes, I pretty much take my time, I don't like rushing things missing some bits of text or hidden secrets, that's why it usually takes me much longer than others to finish a game.

 

[aku:jiki]

meh I have Always Remember Me from indiegala and no key yet

It's Gala being slow as usual. Dev has already sent them the keys.

 

[Kaleinc]

Depends on what you didn't like about it.

I don't remember much but overall design was nonexistent, combat got repetitive and boring very soon and it was glitchy as hell. It even crashed after the final boss.

 

[PetriP-TNT]

I remember doing something like the last post here with editing the configuration manually.

http://steamcommunity.com/app/71340/discussions/0/882966057113376826/

I forget if I also had the override in the control panel.

I tried all of the tricks and I could get the 630M to show up but the game still ran like shit. Oh well, maybe new try tomorrow #pcgaming Thanks for help

 

[Rhaknar]

Overcast Walden and the Werewolf keys are also up at groupees

Game not booting for me since the update, though I see the discussion boards aren't blowing up about it so I'm guessing it's something on my end. Verifying contents not fixing it x_x

 

[Volimar]

Tabletop simulator should be called Rube Goldberg Device: The Game. I can imagine people having a lot of fun setting up some complex stuff.

 

[Kiru]

Yes, I pretty much take my time, I don't like rushing things missing some bits of text or hidden secrets, that's why it usually takes me much longer than others to finish a game.

Schrodinger's Catch achievement is pure luck though, can't even know that achievement exists if you don't look it up

 

[Milamber]

If you had ShadowPlay you could just hit record and it will take the last 5 minutes (if you set it to get it) of your gameplay till when you stop it.

Compared to $195/month Autodesk asks on their site, it's a steal. :\

Played Portal 2 from the beginning and clocked about 6 hours before I got all reward achievements.
You might want to look up guides for 2-4 of the SP-achievements (Door Prize, Pit Boss, Schrodinger's Catch and Preservation of Mass), the rest you get from just playing.
The co-op achievements, which also are the most valuable ones, you can get in 10 minutes (plus maybe 20-30 mins to unlock a specific level).
Shoot me a message if you need someone to do the co-op part with and I'll help you out (or just add me on Steam).

You are not its target audience.

It's impressively cheap actually considering you are allowed to use it for full commercial games.

 

[Anteater]

Okay, so here we go...

Things worth mentioning:
I think Evopollution is greenlit, so it should eventually have a steam key.
The Maw is an Xbox 360 code I had hanging around in my "freebies" list. If nobody takes it, whatever; but if you do, you'll need a Xbox 360 account to use it and an Xbox 360 to play it on.

Thanks, entered for X-Blades.

You're telling me. I couldn't get back to the glass fast enough, it broke out, bounced around the room without hitting the floor for about five seconds before I caught it. Got the achievement. Felt incredible.

Yea, wish my company could afford more than one license.
Can't you just hack Reader exe resources, so that it shows up as Acrobat for them?

 

[Milamber]

I bet most of them are just using it to read PDFs too.

Nope, they want to convert their Word files with graphs to PDF and the other building wants to edit the graphs and convert the PDF back to Excel and they bitch when it messes up.

EDIT: "Hey Milamber, can you get this PDF into Word so I can edit something?"
"It's a Picture of a menu in PDF format"
"I know that but I want to change the prices on it"
