. Hotness. Bosses and level design are so good I really wish the game was longer (consensus seems to be at about 6-8 hours without exploring for all the hidden thingies, im at 3 hours or so, according to steam). It also doesnt seem to be burning up the charts according to steamspy

Owners: 21,796 ± 3,511

I mean its not terrible by any means for 2 days, but one assumes those 2 days are frontloaded with most of the sales, so /mweh

what's with the crafting in dead space 3

i don't know what i'm doing dog.gif

Unless you're playing on the hardest hardest difficulty where enemies don't drop ammo or something, crafting isn't all that useful. I think I did it once to get that mod that keeps you from damaging yourself with rockets. Most of the parts you need you'll pick up.

I think it also takes a few days for the algorithm to really hone in on it. Any time sales are increasing super rapidly the calculation isn't as exact. I'm sure it's done well more than that.
 
It's nothing shady, actually. He gets it from Canada but in order to get it cheap you have to buy csgo keys from people that sell them for less and do something with them. It's all complicated and stuff.

For you.
Dunno where he's getting it for 40$, cuz I sure can't.

Shady Bernardo lol

That's the magic of CS GO keys, a magic I professed already on this thread :p.

You can buy CS GO keys from traders for 1.95$, and sell them for 2.5$ on the market (those 2.5$ are after the fees". Therefore, by using this, a canadian person can get the game for a little bit under 40$

Just to be clear.

Canadian price now for DS3 is $51.09 USD.

Now divide that for the price of the keys in the market. 51.09$/2.5=20.43

Now multiply for the price that you can buy the keys at from trader. 20.42x1.95=39.85$

Here you go :)

Man I forgot about keys, I used to do this.


Then I switched my account to Taiwan and haven't needed to do that lol.

In case someone doesn't know yet, Beamdog added achievements to the Baldur's Gate games. This is pretty huge for me!

That's great, I love it when old games get updated with achievements.

I only own them on GOG, but it looks like they're going to add the achievements to GOG Galaxy too in the near future.

I'm guessing this doesn't apply to the Steam controller bundle?

Why wouldn't it? You still end up buying it on steam.

Which sucks since the controller isn't sold in Taiwan.

*
Let me clarify it looks like he is buying low and selling the keys on the market for wallet money. Therefore it is safe to assume he is then buying it with wallet money.

Or the original way was to buy a gift copy from a person but I think now a days that is too tedious with the restrictions on trading.

You can't gift Steam Controller (outside your country) and it's not sold in Canada on Steam due to EB Games having exclusive deal. So it does not apply. But you can buy & keys and get it cheaper on your region.

For you.

Well, i never tried to buy a steam controller. But if it accepts steam wallet money then yes, it does work fine. You're limited to your own country price though, but you can make a discount with this method regardless.

Yet another reason to love Chvrches, the vocalist cuteness is out of this world. I'm afraid we'll never find another band that tops this one, it's time to give up on this lost cause.

You can pay controller fully using wallet (I did so myself).

Pointless to discuss SteamSpy sales for the time being.

I knew it was from keys :p

I was just being a smartass since he said you got it from Canada for cheap, and I'm from Canada but it's not 40$ on our store.

Yeah, there's not a lot of depth to the melee combat, but larger groups of enemies can be overwhelming if you're just blinding bashing your way through them and the feedback in Fury Mode is fantastic. Vehicular combat is the game's meat and potatoes, though. Causing chaos with the thunderpoon never gets old.

Personally, I really liked how it looked and sounded and the gameplay was mostly neat too, but I kinda gave up eventualy. Felt like more of the same after getting to the second fortress.

You should and when you do, don't go west at the start of the game! I got slaughtered so many times lol

I was told going east is the right move.

I went east as my first... I spent 5 hours to get to the boss and beat him. Went north as my second, 40 minutes and was at the boss. Sadness.

It's been almost two years since Kentucky Route Zero Act III got released. Let us relive the memories of that day.

Anyway, it does look like each new act takes twice as much time as its predecessor:

January 7, 2013 (Act I)
May 31, 2013 (Act II)
May 6, 2014 (Act III)

They said it was almost done back in November, so maybe it releases this year at least (which would probably mean we'd be playing Act V as early as 2020)? They also posted this thing on their Twitter a few weeks back, looks pretty good.
 
Me too, of course, I was just jesting. Have you ever heard CHVRCHES? Not sure how to describe them, but all I know is that they're incredible.

Have you actually listened to them?

Sound like some sort of electronic indie rock. Not bad, but not my kind of thing.

yea just dont do it again

I only got one spider joke left in my system, no idea when or even if I'll unleash it.
 

A Fish Aficionado

I am going to make it through this year if it kills me

Tell Cheesecake about the long wait.

the release disparity between episodes completely killed any momentum that game had going. I loved episode 1 but havent touched the rest (I think I played a bit of ep2...maybe? maybe even finished it, I have no clue)
