Cheers!
They worked out people like digital, and can just start selling full whack for games digitally now. Yay, the industry is run by assholes!
I still haven't bought Watchdogs, simply because I refuse to pay £39.99 for a digital game.
That's cool. Good job! How aware do you have to be about achievements on your first playthrough? Can you just play normally and then backtrack? Is it even possible to get all achievement in one playthrough?

The more they increase prices, the more people put effort into finding ways to buy it cheaper elsewhere.
Case in point, already pre-purchased Dragon Age 3, thanks to a trip to Mexico. Evolve on the other hand went from day 1 to maybe bargain bin purchase around Christmas 2015.

Yep, same here. I only want 3 AAA games this fall but I refuse to pay £40 for them. In the case of Destiny that's very difficult, can't find it anywhere sub £45 -_-
Well they can but I doubt it'll lead to the profits they're hoping for, we're not as thirsty as console-only early adopters, quite the opposite really.
Nice avatar btw
there are 3 achievements you would need to focus on right from the start and get the corrcet attributes/traits for them but that spoils the whole story/party forming experience big time. i did second speedrun playthrough on easy in 15 hours to pick the rest.

I'd make a similar trip but I'm still wary of DR3 after DA2. I'm going to wait for reviews before booking my tickets.
Plus I still have to finish DA: Awakening.
Why the cold shoulder for Evolve?
One down, three to go:
I thought I saw you activate another on me of those the other day. Of course, that could have easily been a different year.

I love that a wallbang headshot through the gun at point blank rage wasn't enough to kill him.
Yeah, that was the Asian version of 2013. There was also supposed to be a Turkish version, but Sega listened to the outcry and included Turkish in the ROW version of the game.
Edit: Oublieux said he'll keep an eye out for 2009 KR and 2010 KR, but with them being EOL for a few years now I'm not getting my hopes up (unfortunately the listings I found were useless on the count of there being no stock).

Yes, and if you buy the Ultra upgrade later you'll get another drop (just the one, not another set).
Disgusts me.

Yes.
One extra drop in addition to the usual five. The rule that defines F2P game drops (one drop for every $9 spent in-game) was expanded to paid games as well in the form of DLC purchases granting users additional drops.
Here's a question for you. Out of the top collectors on Steam are there any titles at all that no one or very, very few have? Still obtainable games of course.
Yeah, obscure retail-specific curios like Dynasty Warriors 7, the region-specific Football Managers and the JP-specific versions of Dead Island: Riptide, FEAR 2, etc. aren't exactly common.

Is there any source to find who the biggest collectors on Steam are? I found a list previously but that seems to be defunct now. Would be an interesting thing to look at.
Yeah I can remember looking up some obscure JP retails games after you mentioned it. Though half the time it's a tiny bit ambiguous as to what version they are and at some of the prices I've seen would be a bit of a silly risk to spend on what could turn out as a NA or EU/PAL version. Though with the ranks of this thread filling up you might find a helping hand a bit better now.
AStats has a list, but needless to say it doesn't track private/friends-only profiles.
Super-famicom lives in Japan, IIRC. I'll be bugging him once I'm done with Football Manager.
Pricing mostly. I also shouldn't be excited for 4-5 player co-op games but that rarely stopped me before.
And Hi-Rez's update program always runs in the background, even when you have uninstalled their games months and months ago...
I'm running 14.2, if that makes a difference.
I also don't let the vision center run, usually.
Welcome to modern gaming.
That shit is in pretty much all the "big" games too.
Unlike Bad Rats, Secrets is actually a decent game.
Sure, it's on the really easy side an it's about horsies (sorry: unicorns and demon steeds), but still, it's a game. They also just added a multiplayer race component, which I guess you'll now miss out on!

I see South Park is on sale at GameStop, maybe this will cause a chain reaction for other retailers to put it on sale this week (GMG)
Well.. Apparently my card selling days are nearing their end this year. I am nearing the 200 listing limit without providing my SS# to Valve. No freaking way.
Not like I'm anywhere near the 20k gross sales required for them to report it to the IRS but with all the security breaches on the internet these days, my SS# isn't getting tossed around just to sell a few cards for 10 cents.

Looking forward to this and hope it brings some freshness to the series. Too many sequels lately have been glorified expansion packs rather than new games.
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I expect MCC to be much much later than the console version.
Gipsy Danger

Probably not. I would expect those announcements to be more low key so that they don't throw off people who may want an Xbone in the future. But one can dream. Hoping for some sort of Valve announcement, anything at all.
Ori and the Blind Forest PC release date probably...I doubt much else.

I very much doubt they want to steer away attention from their box.

I don't see why you shouldn't do it. The infinite backwards comparability comes in handy should your PS3 die on you.
You won't be laughing so hard when they announce GFWL 2.0
Krusenstern
Banned
I will laugh hard if no one is going to support such crap.
Atraveller

But GFWL 1 was used by a lot of publishers, how do you explain that?
Why you gotta be like that?
Also, this would just mean more games to never buy and play when they're free on PS+ =p

It was a classic case of "I put a DVD in without realising one was already in there". One was some porn flick, the other The Lion King.
I wish MS would release ilomilo+ on Steam already. It hardly needs Win8, being an XBLA port.
Haha, fortunately it wasn't a two-in-one thing. That would have been weird.

Yes. And now many are stripping out this filth from their games because the service shuts down. You think devs will risk to go in bed with MS another time?
