You don't actually own the license to F2P games, but they are counted in your game total.

F2P games don't count towards your main Steam Community game count at all, with the exception of F2P games you added to your account before they were added to sub 0 (e.g. Dead Island: Epidemic). If you have play time they'll show up in your All Games tab and if you own DLC for them they'll be tethered to your client library in much the same was as they would be if you'd bought them, but that's it.

Edit: Did anyone else receive a copy of Hive at some point within the past ~9 hours? It wasn't a gift -- it just appeared in my inventory as a new item.

 

[Miguel81]

Oooo, realMyst masterpiece edition looks great. I haven't played Myst since it first came out. I might pick that up.

The Humble Store has it for 12.99. Steam is listed. I might bite.

Have enough credit for Child of Light on GMG but I want the steam version, I know it'll have uplay still but I want my cake and eat it too

Oh damn I almost missed that, I've been really on the fence about using my GMG credit but since it's just the Uplay version I'll wait.

 

[jshackles]

Wow, I actually just a Agarest: Generations of War Booster Pack. That's like $4 = free game. Thanks, Steam!

I met the first boss in Dark Souls 2, and got killed after a few strikes. How do you deal with those minions after they respawn? Ignore them and run straight to the boss?

Ignoring them is okay if you just want to get to the boss. If you are getting bashed by the boss I think it's a good idea to slash the most annoying ones so they don't respawn after some kills, as losing life from getting hit while running is even worse than losoing life by killing a foe. Also you get some souls and thats a few extra ones after finishing the boss if you can collect the bloodstain every time.

Oh shit thanks manpuncher for MS3.

I recall seeing some old console games in Greenlight. I thought publishers wouldn't need to greenlight.

Also why is this thread past 200 pages

Steam threads are monthly now due to how active they are and there was no sense in creating a second thread with May being just a couple of days away.

Has anybody played this game? I played the first hour or so and it didn't grab me due to how visually busy it was. I feel like the art and the overly minimal HUD got in the way of the strategy. I love Advance Wars though, and this has hot seat, so I might be convinced to play more if it's actually good.

Good but not great. I found that the ability to move anywhere instead of grid or hexes hindered more than it helped when positioning became important later in the game. It's also a shame you don't build up your army, but take a preset force into each encounter.

The first boss has minions?

Any of the 3 I can think that you would challenge out of the start didn't have minions as far as I recall... unless you're fighting one of the bosses early.

It's not bad.

I just assume he's talking about the dudes between the bonfire and the fog gate, first 2 bosses I fought didn't summon minions either

Still gonna wait for a sale. Still pretty cool.

My initial impressions of the circle-vs-grid thing after an hour with it was basically "Well, this is different and yet absolutely no better than the normal grid." The spirit wall mechanic was also janky because of it.

 

[BinaryPork2737]

The fuck, they go for that much?

Currently, the cheapest single normal, non-foil, card is going for $1.58. Foils, though, well...

Anime cards are serious business.

You're thinking of Agarest Zero.

Realized that after I edited, but still. $57.00 for a card.

 

[JaseC]

The fuck, they go for that much?

The cards themselves are still selling at 80c or higher, plus there's the "booster pack tax" (they're worth slightly more than the individual cards they may hold since there' s a chance for a foil).

I spent way too much time getting my guys in just the right spot that I stopped playing about halfway through. It just became tedious if you wanted every advantage.

holy shit maybe i need this game which has a great concept but looks like shit.

Yup, I thought it was about the boss spawning minions as well at first and I was wondering which boss I had missed

Could you please elaborate?
Seemed like a nice Advance Wars clone, something generally not being released on PCs.

 

[JaseC]

Well, it's easy to ask for $57 when you're the first to the market. I don't see it actually selling for that much.

 

[BinaryPork2737]

Well, it's easy to ask for $57 when you're the first to the market. I don't see it actually selling for that much.

I don't know, one of these somehow sold for $51.64. Though the other two cards that were sold before and after it were so much cheaper that it's sort of funny to see the attempt at manipulating prices.

But yeah, I really doubt that either card will sell for the prices they're going for.

Transferring files from a potentially broken 3TB HDD to a new one is incredibly dull.

Worth not hearing high-pitched buzzing every time the drive is accessed though.

Transferring stuff from 3 TB's to 4 TB's is usually done remotely when I'm at work or when I'm sleeping. I use TeraCopy to queue up my transfers and look into it from time to time.

Yep yep. Time to grind card bucks! I supposedly have around 20 bucks I could accumulate.

I disagree with him that it's crap. It's a little too simplistic, like it was designed for phone play, but it's well-crafted enough and still pretty fun. It's certainly not comparable to many other strategy classics, but if you just want to relax and play an easy game while chomping on samurai skulls, it's fine.

 

[TuckingFypo]

Yeah, quite a few people seem to be experiencing this, myself included.

Also, I won Space Pirates and Zombies. Thanks Pakkidis!

Make sure to check out the mods if you ever get around to playing it. I found the second half of the game pretty much unplayable without them.

Congratulations!
I tried playing Dark Souls ages ago and only managed to beat the boss that's on the bridge(taurus or something) met the solaire guy and couldn't get past the dragon.

Gave up, so it's awesome that you managed to do it because that means you're cool!
How long did it take?

The game looks fun but is actually crap.

I think it'd be a lot more enjoyable if you had the option to turn off animations entirely, replaying a 30m long level and watching each and every skull eating animation gets annoying(even if it's fast forwarded and such)

Looks like I got banned from Steamtrades.com. The reason for banning are coming from Steamgifts.com, which makes the ban unfair.
No more trading for me for a while

Uh-oh, what did you do?

 

[Deques]

Uh-oh, what did you do?

Two things:

First is that I asked if someone could help me to get a FIFA 12 from the Mexican Gillette promotion, since I got error. But I got it to work eventually. So I edited my post to disregard my request.

Got suspended for Begging. I thought begging and asking are two different things

Second: Did not activate a gift I won. Totally my fault, so I won't complain about it. The gift was still in my inventory, it's now activated in my account

Note to everyone: Steamgifts.com and Steamtrades.com are in the same network. So if you get banned in either of those you will be banned for all of those sites

 

[catabarez]

Well Spider-Man is alright. Symbiote Costume is the way to go.

Thanks! Took 62 hours according to the in game clock. It took a bit of time to get my footing, but it has a nice progression, and by the end I was confident in my skills. It's a really good time.

I typically play adventure games, and such, but I've been branching out recently. It's fun to play stuff outside your familiar genres, and Steam makes that kind of thing easy.

Are you going to play it? I'm interested in impressions, still haven't bought the game.
