The Skyrim abuse that happens in this thread when just the name gets brought up is boarding on farcical at this point. While it might not appeal to everybody and I have issues with the combat systems and the complete lack of feedback you can't deny a lot of people like what the game does for them.

As someone who foolishly bought it on PS3. I feel no sympathy for the game or Bethesda. :p

I complained about the number of saves Witcher 2 makes and how it won't let you overwrite... Up to the point where I failed a quest because of some lying ghosts near the beach. Luckily able to go back to a save from months ago. I'm back in team 1000 saves, or at the least frequent auto saves for important parts.

I'm all for the game. I just wish that each Elder Scrolls / Fallout didn't require the community to fix all the mistakes made by Bethesda in order to not crash constantly, save bloat, or memory leak.

Diablo 3 is a far worse pick than Skyrim on that list. Overall, the list is pretty meh and predicatable, though I like that they picked Fez, Papers Please and Spelunky.

What if all this WAFF going on between zky-zky and Cheesy is just an elaborate ARG advertising the SteamGAF VN?

7cJ4AjI.gif



At least they included Civ V.

*Staring dead into your eyes* ...and I was talking about vanilla Skyrim.

Do you mean vanilla as in unmodded or vanilla as in just the base game? If you mean the latter, that means that you're not including the fan patch that fixes most (though not all) of the shitty bugs that Bethesda left in the game, and the expansions that add way more content to the game than it had at launch. Skyrim is a pretty mediocre game with an excess of squandered potential once you add in the expanded content and the patch, so I don't know if I'd want to see what the pure vanilla version was like around launch.

Vanilla as in unmodded AND just the base game (no official expansions).

how are some key sites getting their steam keys so cheap??

I'm looking at never alone for 4€ and grey goo for 14,99€ and I find it hard to resist. And its just steam keys not some russian gift or russian key that you need to activate with vpn.

Stolen credit cards, physical versions bought or stolen in cheap regions.

Depends on the site. Some just get good deals from a publisher while others resort to shadier means (and it's not encouraged to purchase anything from them).

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.
Stolen credit cards, physical versions bought or stolen in cheap regions.

This is the mostly the correct answer, since the lowest price for Never Alone right now is about $13 from a legit seller.

It sounds like G2A or some similar "buy it from another user" type site. In this particular case it's probably someone trying to sell their free IGN Prime key (it's their free game of the month).

Why doesn't Steam have a spring sale? It's kind of weird.

I won't be surprised if Valve kills off the Autumn Sale in favour of a Spring Sale earlier in the year. I don't have figures on hand but there was a big difference in Autumn and Winter Sale participation last year -- a number of publishers sat the former out, at least partially. With publishers being able to set their own discount periods to an extent, it's understandable that participating in two big sale periods that are just a few weeks apart doesn't carry the allure it once did back when their games sat in the Daily/Midweek/Weekend Deal lottery and the matter was left up to Valve. Also, with Steam's available game count being as big as it is and only on the up, the Halloween Sale, despite being themed, is at this point large enough to serve as an acceptable stop-gap between June/July and December.

They can for example just get russian keys for legit russian resellers, like Yuplay.ru or Buka. Grey Goo for example is around 12$ and has no region restrictions on keys AFAIK.

And Westerado finished. There are maaany achievements left but I'll wait for a few patches
and cheevo guides
before a second playthrough.

Am I crazy for thinking the original looks better? Nostalgia is a crazy thing.

TR1? Crazy sounds so tame, more like batshit insane oh my god lock him away. :)

I just gave away a Zombie Solitaire game code but the recipient says its a duplicate code?

I don't know how this can be when I just purchased the bundle off Groupees and never claimed it since I already have it in my account.

I used my steam profile to log into Groupees to purchase the bundle, would that have any effect?
