I wish I knew more about psychology to correctly predict which one of three identical keys will be the least one entered in a modbot giveaway.

Here's how I see it:
First Key is the obvious one so most people will not go for it (lowest amount of entries).
Second Key is a safe bet since it's in the middle, so why not (probably most entries).
Third Key will be selected by the confident/risk-takers (actually most entries).

 

[someguyinahat]

Thanks for the writeup, this game wasn't on my radar until the recent bundle, but I managed to win a giveaway copy here last week. Glad to hear it's as fun as it looked to me.

Play it soon. You won't regret it.

Don't believe his lies, he wants the one with less entries for himself.

Thanks, CS:GO knife.

Jelly jelly jelly ;_; Congrats on selling the knife.

Also lol @ Sleeping Dogs Definitive Edition.

 

[DontBlink]

Nice try, third-key-chooser!

Aw damn, you cought me :S

 

[Dr Dogg]

I know some are seeing this as the generation of Definitive editions, some PC folks as the time of higher prices but on my recent browse over at Amazon (shamelessly coveting Sleepy Dawgs Definitive Edition naturally) I stumble across a couple of items that blow my mind anyone would even contemplate buying unless they are a bit barmy.

Assassin's Creed Unity: Prima Official Initiate Edition Strategy Guide

Dragon Age Inquisition: Prima Official Inquisitor Edition Strategy Guide

Yes that in and around £55 for a strategy guide and some tat. Remind me never to moan about the prices of Steam games in the UK again as that is less mental than these two items.

 

[Scipius]

Still have a 100% OJ Desura key available:

[Lomax]

It's unfortunate that the DoW Franchise Pack will never see a bigger discount. It went as low as $9.99 during the THQ days, but now that SEGA owns the rights, price drops like this ain't happening anymore

I was amazed when I saw I had Dawn of War 2 and the expansion from amazon for 5 bucks back in the day . Sure hasn't been that price in ages.

Yeah, I still regret not buying the Dawn of War II collection for $5 in that last Amazon January sale during the death of THQ. Though in fairness I still haven't gotten around to playing the first one.

 

[Shadownet]

JaseC. wow. AC:Unity and Far Cry 4.

 

[Deitus]

Yeah, I still regret not buying the Dawn of War II collection for $5 in that last Amazon January sale during the death of THQ. Though in fairness I still haven't gotten around to playing the first one.

I already have all the Dawn of War II games (I bought them when they were new), but I've missed so many opportunities to buy the DOW1 collection on sale. I suppose I should buy it now while it's on sale for $10, since it's unlikely to ever go lower than that.

 

[Turfster]

Yeah, I still regret not buying the Dawn of War II collection for $5 in that last Amazon January sale during the death of THQ. Though in fairness I still haven't gotten around to playing the first one.

You can always try picking up bargain bin retail versions, Dawn of War keys should all register on Steam.

 

[TheLetdown]

I scooped it up one of those times. Loved the demo I played ages ago, but in true SteamGAF fashion, haven't even touched since I got the whole package.

 

[MMBosstones86]

JaseC. wow. AC:Unity and Far Cry 4.

No Gods. No Kings. Only Ubi.

 

[Hugstable]

JaseC. wow. AC:Unity and Far Cry 4.

AC games are alright, but I've never been to big on Far Cry games. I just wish Ubi games would run better on my PC, Watch Dogs had some many stutters even though it said the game was running full 60fps. I'm probably gonna end up getting Unity myself still though ahha.

 

[Deitus]

You can always try picking up bargain bin retail versions, Dawn of War keys should all register on Steam.

Is that just DOW2 though? DOW2 games all had mandatory Steam, but DOW1 wasn't originally on Steam when it first released.

Edit: Or at least if it was on Steam, the original retail versions did not attach to Steam.

 

[Strider]

Woah at being able to preorder FC4 bc of a CS:GO knife.

It always blows my mind how much money people spend on digital cosmetic items.

 

[Turfster]

Is that just DOW2 though? DOW2 games all had mandatory Steam, but DOW1 wasn't originally on Steam when it first released.

All DOW keys, original and II/Retribution, should work according to the steam database.

 

[Stallion Free]

JaseC. wow. AC:Unity and Far Cry 4.

Ubi kinda has Ubi/Steam fans by the balls. Peeps like Jase and me aren't going to buy their games anywhere outside of Steam because we want them in our Steam collection, but that in turn tremendously limits our acquisition options

At least Ubi always gives an excellent dollar to playtime value.

 

[DaBargainHunta]

No new Indie Royale today?

Edit: It's up now. Nothing for me though.

 

[MMBosstones86]

I think the consensus is that Watch Dogs was a complete Tire Fire of a PC release.

 

[Deitus]

All DOW keys, original and II/Retribution, should work according to the steam database.

Good to know. Looking it up, DOW1 vanilla came out before Steam Half-Life 2 even launched, and none of the expansions used Steam out of the box.

But I guess they patched in Steamworks integration for all versions of the game at some point.

Edit: I guess Steam technically launched before HL2, even though no one cared about it back then.

 

[ussjtrunks]

The latest watchdogs patch fixed the stuttering for me and many users shame it took so long, I love AC games myself too already picked up Unity

 

[freshVeggie]

Yepp.

>.>

I want the artbook....

Huh, when did SD get revealed for PS4/Xone? Doubt it'll be much of a change for PC. Better though, as the "old" pc version will likely get permanently reduced?

[Hugstable]

Is Crypt of the Necrodancer region free? I made my mind on which of the 3 games (KiD, Yaiba, and Necrodancer) and I decided to get Necrodancer for now just because of how fun the game looks with the Rhythm mechanics and that music! Plus you can even use Custom tracks for more awesomeness!

It was kind of a luck-of-the-draw deal for that. You do get quite a bit of cash just by playing (I've made probably pretty close to $40 profit just by playing and selling drops/crates). Not bad for a game I got for $3.75!

Yea, I don't think DoW1 keys will work on Steam, I have Gold Edition/Winter Assault/Dark Crusade and none of the keys activate on Steam, I've tried.

Yes. Should be about 5 keys, I'd guess.
You might have trouble finding a trader with it "in stock" because it's kind of a special order item that wouldn't most likely be stocked.

Can you still get this patch to work fine if you have the worse mod installed?

 

[Shadownet]

I'm probably only going to get AC:Unity so I can play co-op mode. But only if it run well on PC. I'll wait for a sale on Far Cry 4 since I never really got into the franchise as a whole.

Knurek doesn't thank.

On behalf of Knurek, thank you Ozium!

Time for me to go collect my royalty check from Brace Yourself, obviously.
Seriously though, i've been enjoying the game a lot over the past week or so. Its definitely contending with Shovel Knight and Banner Saga for my favorite Steam game of the year.

 

[corrosivefrost]

Sub Zero has over 37 hours played since he got the game and when I asked him what he thought of it, he said he was enjoying it and hadn't really run into many issues -- so this patch might have actually improved the overall experience, it seems.

 

[Arthea]

T.E.C. 3001 is fun, my adventure with 6th level was glitch of sorts, I restarted level and speed was 1/10th of what I was getting before, still damn funny. (><)

 

[Sub Zero]

The latest watchdogs patch fixed the stuttering for me and many users shame it took so long, I love AC games myself too already picked up Unity

I was ready to give it up because of the terrible performance but this patch was a godsend. Had a great time with the game, it didn't really deserve all that hate.

It still lags terribly however when I try to record footage with Shadowplay

 

[Amzin]

When did this happen? I've tried using my keys since DoW40k was added to Steam but they refused to go. Guess it's time to try again.

 

[Turfster]

Yea, I don't think DoW1 keys will work on Steam, I have Gold Edition/Winter Assault/Dark Crusade and none of the keys activate on Steam, I've tried.

How recently did you try?

 

[JaseC]

JaseC. wow. AC:Unity and Far Cry 4.

There are about two weeks between the two. The former will be lead me into the latter.

Wow, does playing CS:GO give money to everyone just like that or did you get the luck of the Irish

The latter (thank you, Saoirse). I remembered that I had two CS:GO keys sitting in my inventory (my useless Settlers 7 DLC pack finally sold) so I decided to open my first ever weapon case; out popped an ~$80 knife.

Wow, and I thought my 1€ card sells were noteworthy. Gonna get CS:GO for sure now. I love fps anyway. But at 14€ ? Gonna wait for a sale. Many thanks for your info ef!

Oh nice so everything should be all good with the latest patch? I might have to give this game a try again sometime now. It used to get really bad for me with the stutters, especially during the driving and I have an 770 GTX

I didn't buy Far Cry 3 for a long time because of this. I kept passing on Uplay deals waiting for a good deal on the Steam version. Not sure I will be able to hold out as long for Far Cry 4 though. We'll see
