They just did for Actual Sunlight for the Brandon bundle, so hopefully.
What game is it?
My second perfect game. The other is probably Black Ops MP with 3 whole achievements.
I have 10 perfect games but no idea how to see which ones I have! How do I do that? Why can't I click the "X perfect games" showcase thing?
Looks like Goat Simulator

All the hate for RE6 is what really baffles me when it actually is better than 5 in every aspect.

Wait for the sales to get Trials.
Goat Simulator is one of a kind -- plus you can make credit back from the achivement rewards.
Still can't believe he got the score necessary for the Flappy Goat achievement.

all my loli wolf companions are so moe
I wish AoM was 10 bucks, or hell 15. It's so expensive.

Yeah, I think MS should have dropped Age 2 HD to $15 and released AoM Ex at $20.

All of this Resident Evil talk. If i'm back and anyone needs a RE6 partner let me know. I'm down to play that any time.
Also I never updated about the playfire and SAM thing.
I didn't do it and for the one I did I deleted the achievement right after (since it happened as the thread was going).

i started dragonfall just a while ago but had to put it down because it was really annoying me
i don't like having to click on things, i need dem hotkeys and i wish the game was a lot more responsive.
i might give it another go down the line, but for now imma go for the banner saga for my turn based combat kickstarter game

It's downsampled from 3200x1800 to 1920x1080.

Wonder where that puts RE6 since it's sold 5 million to date.
Perfect time to replay the first.
But.. we're still waiting for the Steamworks update. =(
I'm scared if it'll never turn up and just be gone when GFWL goes down, as I haven't played it and got it on my Steam list.
Neat that Monaco is inside the top 30 and FTL inside the top 20 on the back of the expansion pack and no special price.
I'd really like to see a research on the trend of sales for games that have been in cheap bundles. You'd think everyone who cared got those games then but they seem to keep selling well after that.

I'm probably very late with this, but what's that?
I haven't heard about such announcement
Even if this turns out to be nothing more than an Assassin's Creed skin I want this so bad.

I missed this one
On nvidia GPUs inspector + 4 sgssaa and team fortress fix will do the job, or downsampling.

LOTR for adult. I can't wait for this!!!
well ya, but where did it come from? It came out of nowhere and so stealthily. Did I miss some noise on twitter, announcement, anything? (><)
Goat Simulator

Man, I tried to get that Flappy Goat achievement last night. Frustrating. Will definitely be getting all the achievements before the Playfire rewards expiret though!
There's a 8minute gameplay video too, it looks pretty cool:

It's basically AssCreed set in Middle-earth. And I'm okay with that.

Isn't this the game that a former ubi developer said looked really similar to Assassin's Creed 2 or something along those lines?
Did the shadow of mordor devs ever respond to that or did they just ignore it?
It goes without saying, as it looks a lot like AssCreed. (><)
I'm not really thrilled about it being MordorAssCreed, tbh
That's a lot to hope for, you know!

Yeah, an Ubi dev claimed that Monolith had lifted wholesale animations from AssCreed 2, which is a ridiculous assertion to be sure of considering the "smoking gun" is YouTube footage. WB didn't respond.
Did the update make it any less of a slot machine?
I'm not here to instil fear - glitches happen and we appreciate that. Basically our systems will flag suspicious activity, but there's human intervention before decisions are made. It's usually the accumulation of several activities to be honest. But every situation is individual and different. A blanket rule and response doesn't work well. Basically, if you don't use SAM you've got nothing to worry about.
Yeah, it's a bit rubbish, I agree, but it's always been a stop-gap. We're in BETA so we need to make sure the premise, mechanics and business model work before we invest more resources into it. So far, so good - looking to get a nice easy rewards page built in the near future.
I guess achievements from family sharing don't count towards playfire rewards, noo my 50 cents
Yeah, we don't detect family sharing, although I haven't tested achievements. Steam's API does pump out that data though, so maybe we'll include it in the future if there's enough demand.
It's BETA, so it's not going to perfect. If you check the blog you'll see we recently discovered a big bug which we've fixed and for the most part rewards are working fine now. General rule of thumb though is you need to wait 24 hours before it's transferred to your GMG account.
Apologies on the Customer Support front by the way. The Elder Scrolls Online is being launched, keys are going out, and there are inevitably a lot of unpredictable problems that aren't unusual with an MMO launching, so our CS department has a lot going on right now.

Ah, that is very interesting.
But I'm not going to lie, I'm a bit surprised WB didn't respond, but I guess since like the AC2 dev said he "has no legal claim to his work" I probably shouldn't be surprised that they didn't.
Oh well, the more games like AC2 the better.
There are more weapons, systems and augmentations so I'm guessing it's either more or less like a slot machine depending on whether you think that there's strategy involved in having random items/events/battles and attempting to use what you have in the most effective way. It's not like you can start a game and steamroll your way right through to the end or anything, but you might end up getting a really useful weapon/etc randomly that helps you out. It's like all Rogue-likes in that way.
I decided not to post it, as it is MOBA which is not DOTA or LOL, meaning nobody will buy it, regardless (><)
Thanks for the helpful responses!
I guess it makes sense since I don't own those games, like we don't earn cards from family sharing either, I'm ok with that.
guess this was added to the doorways bundle

I was surprised by the new subsytems they implemented in the game. I'm not too keen on the hacking one, but they're overall great additions.
yawn. Well I'm glad I sparked such an interesting discussion! To answer some points:
I guess it's just a matter of coming to terms with the fact that there is no 'category' of players that's better than the others, just like there is no way of playing or school of game design that's better than the others. I was struggling with this for a time and then I realized that I enjoyed games with little conflict and that gave me time to think, and preferred short, focused experiences over large-scaleconvoluted epic plots (the main reason why I haven't played SS2, Deus Ex or Thief 1/2) and at some point I went 'well, so fucking what?' and now I'm happy with that. Most of the games that were made in the last millennium just weren't conceived with that kind of personality in mind, which is fine.
I mostly agree with RionaaM, but this is the crux of the matter. As I said, I will try playing those games, if only because it will make for interesting things to tell about here, but I'm quite confident that I won't like them. I generally don't like the first-person perspective, don't like the games' settings (besides Thief's I guess), and most of the time when a new game comes out with gameplay aspects that are criticized for being 'not as hardcore as in whatever old-school classic' I consider that a major selling point. But, we'll see!
Well I have played SMB and Pong and I definitely didn't get anything out of them. I think you can learn as much by seeing any random picture of the games. I know it's not a popular opinion... threefive years ago, when I was still in school, I had videogame history classes and I kept clashing with the teacher and just refusing to give any fucks because I really didn't get what all of these super-old games could teach me apart from 'History'. Which is valuable in itself, but don't pretend that those games are anything more, and please don't pretend that they're venerable artifacts that ought to be respected and must inform the future. The further away from them games get, the merrier I am.
No problem, but see, that's the thing: if 'casual' and 'hardcore' are terms with any actual value, and I don't think they are, but if they were I'd much rather be called a casual than a hardcore gamer

well I sure hope that 'only allow ruin in countries' will be removed. that's a pretty awful setting
edit: woops double, sorry. overestimated the number of awake members at this time!
