Yes, especially when the "staff" decide to take a totalitarian approach to "talking about certain topics" (piracy, personal mental status come outs, etc) not to mention "we aren't publicizing piracy homebrew or...Hatred", which honestly in a forum of what would seem like adults more or less is laughable and quite sad to see at the same time.

But I guess censoring people/topics by the initiation of force through a ban hammer is always a great idea to provide the foundation of the most diverse, and open-minded gaming community.

But, maybe I'm a minority in that I believe people should be free to say whatever the hell they want (although critique and discourse comes with that) without fear of reprisal or gated off section determined by a select few who decide "this is how we see it, so this is how it is". But that's just me.

Topic's good and all, but in all likely-hood it'll get you dog-piled and banned outside of this thread.

I've long given up preaching to forums that don't ascribe to a policy of non-censorship. Its mostly the ones who profess to be anti-censorship but act wholly to the contrary that you should care more about.

I come here to post anime gifs, not to talk about censorship.

Sync'ed through Rockstar Social Club. So they know your progress on a previous system.

At least it's better than a delay.

Uhu. Some useless stuff to "reward" you since you gave them 70€ first time, 60€ the second time. I mean, better than nothing, but still it's a thing I don't like encourage double dip. I'm curious to check how many people bought first PS3 version, than Ps4 and now PC.

No wait, I don't want know it.

Also, this looks really promising:

Out today on Steam, already out on GOG.

How far is prologue? Wonder if that PS3 trick still works on digital games/

The idea of censorship on a privately-owned forum.

There is no anime gif sufficient enough to express the look on my face.

Oh censorship doesn't have to be public. But the way this is going means I'm going to lay low for a while. This is usually how it goes before people get banned.

Also, there's an anime gif for everything. #truthfacts

You want to drink the tears but are too afraid to make them!

Telling someone what they can and cannot do with their personal property is in itself a form of censorship. It's easily a greater form of censorship than not being able to talk about your awesome rom collection here.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
I did not! That is awesome, I will go look at that straight away.

EDIT: is there a specific thread for it? I have questions.

You can post them here and I'll do my best, or you can post them to the official Steam group.

(I've been away for a few days and I come back to see people talking about me. Feels kinda nice actually.)

I actually managed to figure it out - forgot to tick the "remember this computer" box when signing in. I like the new "sign in to Steam" mechanism, any chance of this being ported to IdleMaster? Or would it not be compatible with that?

You wot mate? I'm not even saying evilore doesn't have the right to forbid certain topics on his privately owned forum. He can, he's done so, and he will continue to to do so in the future. Its still censorship.

Talking about rom collections? Well I don't even know if that's banned or not, but I imagine there are swathes of old ass gamers on gaf who've bought their games and just want a place to continue to play their games on discontinued hardware. You would understand if you stopped being a condescending PCmustardrace. I personally have a bunch of games on the gba sp, and I do sometimes go back to fire emblem 7 for kicks.

Talking about banned games? I know of 2 banned games on gaf, one accused of being paedophilic, which it technically is not but I can see why people might be uncomfortable with it, and a game about killing innocents, which is kind of not really a big deal when you have GTA V releasing on PC soon, and that game has killing innocents in spades.

Am I happy about there being banned topics? No.

Does evilore have every right to ban said topics in his privately owned forum? Yes.

Do I have to happy about that? No.

And can I express my unhappiness? Yes.

Will me talking about this make a difference? Fuck no. I'm just a guy with a lewd elf avatar who posts anime gifs.

So get off your high horse. You're just another guy talking about the same topic and none of us has any real say in the matter.

It's certainly compatible, but due to the nature of "external programs interacting with Steam" and the nature of VAC I think it's best that the two programs remain separate. A lot of people consider Idle Master to be "cheating" and think Valve should ban it's use. I don't think anyone (so far, at least) is saying that about the spam filter app.
 
Can you carry your character over from Witcher 1 into Witcher 2?
Yes, it's mostly dialogue differences outside of major changes in the third act though. Still, a lot of your actions are referenced so I found it satisfying enough. Interested to see how much the Witcher 3 changes given the huge variety of ways the second game can be ended.

Edit: And as mentioned you carry over gear and the gold you had left over.

How does one..get through witcher 1? I get so bored and put it down lol =S

Haven't really started 2 cause I would like to at least slog through 1 first.

Jesus, that Witcher 3 trailer is one of the worst trailers I've ever seen.
It's like someone was trying to sell vidyagames to the Amish or something.

No one will read this post.

This decision will have consequences.

omg my name for Uplay sucks, sucks so bad I don't want to use it anymore.

Oh well siege nice knowing you. Also couldn't find a quit button lol.

Color me Amish because the trailer sold me on a game I already bought.

Eh, the narration felt more like someone going over a list of bullet points at a shareholder meeting, where nobody has time for these "videogames" but invests because they make money if you have all the things.

Hmmm funnily the GTA V finally trailer has a very similar lady voicing over the trailer in the same informative/reductive way. I think I've found one of your bugbears there.

You can change it now, although some games may erroneously use your original name (Far Cry 4 is one unless Ubi got around to patching it).

Can you trade stuff in at Gamestop, get in-store credit, and then turn that around and buy Steam cards? I feel like they wouldn't because they're technically not getting any money but I figured I'd try.

So, I'd find an official thread to ask this in, but I do like to avoid plot spoilers, so I'll just float it here.

Are the two GTA IV expansions any better than the base game? As much as I had high hopes when I started out GTA IV, the repetitive missions are boring me to tears. I get that they were trying to dial it back and go for the really detailed city after doing SA, but the game itself just seems so dull once you look past all the neat little touches here and there. There doesn't seem to be anything to spend money on other than guns, and I'm just forcing myself to plow through the missions at this point, since it feels like I'm somewhat near the end.

If I invite you into my home and you began talking garbage, me asking you to leave is not censorship. Suggesting that I have to accept that you can do whatever you want in my home is suggesting that you have the right to impede my own right of expression, which is in itself a form of censorship.

Talking about rom collections? Well I don't even know if that's banned or not, but I imagine there are swathes of old ass gamers on gaf who've bought their games and just want a place to continue to play their games on discontinued hardware. You would understand if you stopped being a condescending PCmustardrace. I personally have a bunch of games on the gba sp, and I do sometimes go back to fire emblem 7 for kicks.

As a man who apparently wants to drink tears, I hope you can appreciate me getting a good jolly getting "codescending PCmustardrace" out of you. You have no idea where my allegiances are.

Talking about banned games? I know of 2 banned games on gaf, one accused of being paedophilic, which it technically is not but I can see why people might be uncomfortable with it, and a game about killing innocents, which is kind of not really a big deal when you have GTA V releasing on PC soon, and that game has killing innocents in spades.

Agree on that Hatred game. It does seem pretty inconsistent, policy-wise, but what can you do?

Am I happy about there being banned topics? No.

I am. I wouldn't come here if there was porn and the forum would not be in the position it is in if it openly embraced those kinds of topics.

Does evilore have every right to ban said topics in his privately owned forum? Yes.

Do I have to happy about that? No.

And can I express my unhappiness? Yes.

We agree there. But it seems you're taking offense to the next logical step: me expressing unhappiness about your unhappiness.

Will me talking about this make a difference? Fuck no. I'm just a guy with a lewd elf avatar who posts anime gifs.

So get off your high horse. You're just another guy talking about the same topic and none of us has any real say in the matter.

Maybe I've missed where I'm on a high horse, but I'm reiterating the policy of the forum we are currently having this discussion on.

I haven't even weighed in on what my own personal opinions regarding piracy are, but that doesn't stop you from supposing my positions. Not to mention that this discussion about freedom of speech was established under the most tenuous of grasps, a person using a post by Grief lamenting that this isn't the best place for technology discussion to suggest the moderation needs a schooling on freedom.

There is a reward for people double+ dipping for GTAV.

https://support.rockstargames.com/hc/en-us/articles/203495713

How does this work exactly?

Shame they don't provide rewards for people that have a lot of their other games registered on Social Club...

Shouldn't be anything special: a T-shirt, or a hat!... ITS THAT I JUST LOVE HATZ. GABEN CONVINCED ME.

(Bought a PS3 Slim with RDR as primary reason lol, even over the PS3 exclusives.
All other games played on PC of course.)


edit: and why is Agent still a thing on that page? :D
