I hope you don't mind a long and maddening read. It could take me age to find the start but they had a game on their account they wanted removed for whatever reasons and despite the advice given by multiple people in the thread they kept on bringing it up and up. Here's where things pick up about a couple of days later and then it starts to spiral out of control.

Sad thing is I don't think we ever got to know the game that caused so much of a fuss.

Heh, I remember that, shit went so bad that I had to honor it the next Steam OT title:

Anyone recommend Insurgency? It is on sale

I wrote an unpopular review for it that caused some controversy in that game's community at the time of launch, as I tried to avoid a scathing critique of the game by instead using humor to express my boredom with uncreative shooting games. That didn't go over so well so I wrote a second, matter of fact review.

Ultimately, my thoughts were that it was a boring but competent alternative to Counter Strike, which apes CS's interface and setup closely, does nothing interesting or unique in the genre, has a couple of interesting maps, weak production values (art/sound), and a small, obnoxious community (terrible discussions on voice chat, but the same goes for most games). If you haven't had your fill of CS:GO, stick with that. If you really need something new, Insurgency is a decent but unexciting alternative.

Looks like it's on a free weekend, though. So you can decide for yourself what you think of it.

One moment, something is wrong here: I checked my own copy of SSF4AE and now it says "Ultra SSF4", what the heck? Did we get a free upgrade or is Capcom playing with my feelings (again, after cancelling X9)?

It changed the name, but according to this thread, you don't get the ULTRA content.

No, they just renamed it to ultra.

Asking for new page.

Anyone here sell tf2 keys ? They go for 1,86€ ( 2,48 $ ) on the market.

If there's one thing I learned, it's that there's always a cheaper place.

We need to play co-op mode sometimes :)

For sure! :D

Honestly, I don't remember that having any impact on anything at all. None of the choices you make in the game have any real impact on the story (it's just not that type of game), and if anything are only there as a parody of games that have dialogue choices. Although there is a really amusing choice you get right at the beginning of the game after you make your character that I found hilarious (you'll know it when you see it), but again it doesn't effect anything.

Oooh yes, that was great! This game goes so far into meta game parody that it kind of reverses on itself, making the game actually good, lol! I really like driving around; I hope it's the kind of game where you can wander around doing whatever aside from the main quest like GTA. Seems like it so far!

GMG is really climbing my shitlist quickly here.

GMG is seriously the worst! They've given me wrong keys, they take forever, and their support is absolutely awful. I don't think I'm going to buy anything from their store now that I've spent my Playfire money.

I have an old PS3 Fight Stick. Anyone have any experience getting those working on PC?

Have you checked it first and made sure your PC recognizes it? in most games it's easily picked up.

First I heard of the game, looks great, I'll wishlist it for now (too much to play at the moment), thanks for the suggestion.

Would you say the game is better suited for PC play or Tablet?

Not sure if it has a tablet version, but like Super Hexagon either would work. There are only two controls, left and right. Personally I did better at Super Hexagon on PC than tablet, so I'd guess that'd be true here too.

On both iOS and Android and plays perfectly fine on both. I too did better on PC for Super Hexagon, but I have to admit I had a lot more fun with it on iOS because I got more engrossed into moving my fingers and holding the device, tilting it as I went like one of those crazed people seen in game adverts.

Great game Pivvot, I'm sure I'll end up buying it again on PC as well.

Could have sworn I read JaseC suggesting a member for cheap tf2 keys though and there wasn't any warning. That's why I asked. But I couldn't remember who.
But this settles it then for good. Welp.

Might give it a shot now. Since the RNG was sounding too painful on some of those eps.

With playfire rewards dwindling and my desire to pursue them gone as a result, other than using my remaining bucks on some cheap stuff, I think I'm done with them after this. Capcom's fault or no, they've known about the launch moving up for hours... and yet, none of the preorder keys have been given out yet.

As Rickenslacker says:

Yeah getting Ultra for a couple bucks off at GMG hasn't paid off at this point.

unacceptable

one million years dungeon


I got it for free with the credit.
And then I bought a copy for a GAFer.
And he refused it.
I should have fuckin' kept it and used it myself.
With our luck, these keys will not include the pre-order costumes now either.
 
GMG is a UK company, it's like 2am here, you ain't getting your key tonight ;p

That's funny, cause GMG has said they're "working on it".
Funny thing about customer service. When done right, especially when you're a global storefront, it involves shit like working past midnight.

Ys I is an enjoyable romp until the end boss.

Fuck that guy.
I admit he wasn't a piece of cake, but once I realized the trick to that fight I managed to beat him after dying a couple of times more. Not easy, but also not as hard as I first thought. It probably takes a little bit of skill and quite a bit of luck, but it can be done. On Normal at least, didn't try Nightmare.

The general rule is to try and keep trade talk out of this thread for personal gain, as there were arguments previously on which gaffer was giving the best deal and such,

We do have a specific buy/trade thread for Steam stuff though:

it's got also a "tell me a story" mode that's basically challenge-free and also an rng-less easy mode

i think that might be enough to please everyone

i mean i didn't get too far into it cos it kind of grossed me out but making modes that remove features evidently isn't the best solution but it's still fine. devs are capable of making some powerful, gripping shit, they just need a gameplay that supports it. i mean i'm not necessarily against rng (like, it makes sense given the context and goes along with the "life fucking sucks" message the game is conveying) as long as replaying isn't punished to heavily, which i feel like this game did by making everything so slow and tedious.

a lot about this game is interesting, i'll def try it again.
