I think we are out of luck on this one to be cheaper on another retailer for Steam.

This is so frustrating.

But anyway, what "custom storefront" even means?

Is this a way to create a sort of selected titles every user show somewhere?
And in this case, couldn't I just open a website with a list of cool stuff linked to the relative Steam page?

If someone buys through my store, would I get a piece of the cake?
And in this case, how could I offer a greater deal than anyone else, or Steam itself?
And if there are ways to obtain keys at lower price (thus allowing me to be competitive against other people), what would be the difference with Amazon or Humble or whatever?


I mean, right now the only thing I can imagine is some kind of Amazon Affiliates program, where you put a widget of an Amazon product on your site, and if someone buys it through you (or, IIRC, buys something else a couple of clicks away from your "gateway"), you get some Amazon wallet cash.
It would be cool for VIPs storefront, like a GiantBomb one for example, but for the common user?

Dunno, dunno.

Humble store widget links were kind of like that but christ did that turn into a mess.

Good lord I feel like Dark Souls 2 is gonna end up my GOTY. The last time I was this thirsty for a game was Dark Souls 1. Co-oping with a friend is absolutely amazing. Even when you aren't summoned to each others worlds and you are just playing in roughly the same area figuring shit out together is amazing.
Click to expand...

You know how I feel about co-op, but outside of that, I have to agree.
I like the randomized co-op enough that while some people frustrate the hell out of me with their "skill level", that I have no problems saying "oh, I need my humanity back and full health for this? I'll put down my summon sign then"... it's how I've been grinding souls too...

A lot of the bosses tend to work better with summoned phantoms as well because of the numbers game. However...

Belfry Luna
I had helped a few people take out the gargoyles so I could learn the patterns and stuff and had fully planned on taking someone with me. When I managed to flip the lever and then got killed by defender clan people, I didn't wait around for a summon, I bee-lined for retrieval and then outran the invaders to the boss door. I took on all 3 of those fuckers by myself while hollowed and <80% health. I'd have rather had some help so I didn't have to play so conservatively; it's no fun trying to fend of 3-4 gargoyles while looking for an opening to cause damage. Thankfully, I decided to drop my last 17 levels or so into faith, so I can now throw lightning bolts... without that, I probably would have bit the dust.

Just arrived home and the people I saw yesterday on Dark Souls II are still playing it, some with over 40 hours for a game released on Friday! Oh, how I would love to borrow some time, can't wait to dive back in since I was a in recent location last time.

Also, I new bundle might appear in just a few seconds, I believe?

Well, it should NEVER be a problem of quantity of stuff released. I mean, that should ALWAYS be a good thing, never mind the quality.

The problem here is that the Steam store frontpage is completely sub-par for a huge task like that.
Just saying, it's still 940px width, like PC gamers are stuck with a '95 CRT monitor up to 1024x768.
That's so much wasted real estate, it's quite unbelievable.
Click to expand...

My guess is in Valve environment where the best and brightest do whatever interests them the mosts, either doesn't attract people who are good at designing a store front for the web or prevents them from hiring such people.

What bundles was it in -- ES isn't cooperating with telling me the # of times it's been a bundle currently.

Anybody have a extra Mutant Mudds key from the weekly bundle they'd sell?

If I have an extra in my list, I'll give it to you.
Otherwise, maybe do a search for modbot posts with it -- it's possible there are some unclaimed somewhere (slim chance, but it happens sometimes).

Seems I need Indie Gala January to give me a Steam key here.

man it's harder to strafe behind enemies in dks2 isn't it, damn fat knights and their swipe attacks
Click to expand...

I dunno about that -- if you mean in terms of backstabbing enemies, I always found that to be problematic in Dark Souls too. Only when they're unaware and even then... your best bet is if they have a heavy attack with a long recovery time and you anticipate it.

If by "fat knights" you mean "old knights" in heide's ruins, you should learn the attack animations and then learn to roll into the position you want to be in. :)

Just feels like a lot of things are done differently but maybe I just don't remember the first game too well :p

I haven't landed a backstab in DS2 yet in 12 hours. I remember landing quite a few in DS1 though.
Click to expand...

I land them all the time on the undead soldiers -- when they do the heavy overhead, you just strafe behind them and BOOM. So satisfying. :D

Were you the guy who didn't know Dark Souls had a "heavy attack"? ;)

I think this hasn't been mentioned here yet, so in case someone missed it:

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=809401
http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2...ins-why-theres-still-no-pc-version-of-destiny

Bungie explains why Destiny isn't coming to PC (yet).

Basically, they said they're already very busy with all the 4 platforms the game is releasing on:

Bungie COO Pete Parsons echoed Bakken's response when we quizzed him on the same subject.

"I think four platforms on day one is a lot, considering we've been a one platform team for a very long time," he said.
Click to expand...

(I blame the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions)

But, it may be released on PC someday:

"That doesn't mean it can't happen in the future, it just means it won't happen right now."

...

While it seems certain that Destiny will not launch on PC alongside the console versions, what chance post-launch? Or, perhaps, what chance of a PC version of future Destiny games?

"I look forward to our future conversations around PC," Parsons said, cryptically.

"We love the PC. We hear it too. We ask the question of ourselves."

So, perhaps early next year? Looking forward to it!

I've been thinking about buying game cases and printing out game covers for most of my steam games. I miss having that huge row of games to look at. Anyone have a good website of covers?

It doesn't have much in terms of PC games, but the Cover Project is always a good place to start. Plus you can always check out their forums for information and requests.

Maybe casual means something else in German? Like coming up for coffee has nothing to do with drinking a beverage in some places.

I think Germans are just that hardcore. They look at Dark Souls II and see a lightweight but fun action RPG whose attempts to be challenging are futile but cute, like a small child trying to be threatening.

Same here man. Now that I've read up a bit on how to upgrade my sorcerer, I'm having a blast. Haven't put this much time into a game in the longest time.
