This is the UK edition. Other than metrics and imperials, are there any differences to signs across the pond?

EDIT: What's up with the 2 pricings?

 

[NingenJanai]

You drive on the other side off the road? pretty significant difference in my opinion.

 

[wetflame]

Yeah, all our road signs are different, pretty much.

 

[Ban Puncher]

Steam can now teach you how to drive.

But do they teach you the real stuff like how to fit the phattest exhaust to your stock hatchback and the guidelines to looking hella tough hanging around a McDonalds carpark?

 

[Arthea]

gmg tempts me with that Age of Mythology discount, it is cheapest it has been, I assume? Any coupon that works with it and credit? Probably not... but one can dream.

Get off the road, people!

The second sub includes the theory test.

 

[Arthea]

Also there is Alan Wake sale on gmg, rejoice!

Spoiler

this immediately reminded me about summer sale (><)

 

[wetflame]

The second sub includes the theory test.

I think the second sub includes the Hazard Perception test, with the first being the theory est. The theory test is the main thing you're learning (and what the screenshots are of) so it wouldn't make sense to have it be the extra.

Hard to tell...

 

[NingenJanai]

You need the swag DLC for that.

 

[wetflame]

Hard to tell...

I was going to say it's pretty stupid that we Brits have to pay more to learn our own driving theory tests, but then again seeing as it's useless to any other country they can probably do with the discount.

 

[fantomena]

Just received my salary for about 3 weeks of summer work at my local mail company.

Over 1200€.

Feels great. Gonna pre-order Far Cry 4 since I could not stand the console version of Far Cry 3.

When it comes to AC: Unity I will go for PS4. Ubisoft can suck my dick after the fucktarded Watch Dogs.

Ubisoft FPS games = PC
Ubisoft everything else = Console

That's what I thought at first, but nope.

I definitely thought it had achievements because of this post, now I am sorely disappointed.

I remember after getting my license and car, I immediately bumper kissed it into a taxi because I couldn't estimate the length of my car's hood versus the test car which was shorter.

[brotkasten]

I've been playing a lot of AC4 lately and since I can't continue with the story missions without my GF, I've been doing all the side stuff. Assassin contracts, naval contracts, the fleet missions (although they play themselves) and even the collectibles on the islands. Now I feel tempted to 100% this game, even though I know I'm going to feel empty and like an idiot afterwards. The lack of Steam achievements and cards makes it even worse. Nothing is gained by that and it's a huge time waster, and yet I continue to do this crap.

I really love/hate Ubisoft's formula.

 

[wetflame]

That's what I thought at first, but nope.

Well that's kind of stupid. Especially as they're not labelled! Can't see people being happy if they buy the wrong one. Although Driving Theory test programs are sold in pound shops anyway so anyone getting one on Steam is doing it wrong. Unless they're only after the +1.

 

[herod]

lazy question before I get started with my new TV PC: can you config Steam Big Picture mode to launch bluray playing software like Cyberlink 3D? Or do you folks use something like XBMC to manage everything?

 

[wetflame]

I definitely thought it had achievements because of this post, now I am sorely disappointed.

Haha. Well, this is just the theory test rather than the driving test anyway, so it'd be more like:

Left Hand Drive - Named three situations where you may overtake another vehicle on the left
Phone A Friend - Correctly identified what information you will be asked when you use the emergency telephone
Danger Zone - You knew what this road sign means.

Edit: You can tell I get bored at work in the mornings. I think I've posted more about that theory test software than I have in the last couple of days.

You'd do well in achievement design. I would definitely buy these with those type of achievements.

It's discounted for people who own all three games, but you can buy to add to your inventory (or gift to others) hence the cheaper copies.

Sales of the game exceeded all expectations. "I think we recouped our money within, like, ten minutes," he says. In five months, Goat Simulator outsold both Sanctum games combined, such strong performance that the team wanted to give back and decided on offering free DLC, despite the fact Sanctum and its sequel made about half their revenues from paid DLC. And the team participated in the "Games for GoatS" program with charity Heifer International, offering free Steam keys for the game (along with Escape Goat 2, which also participated) to donors.

That would mean at the very least 300k because that what Sanctum 1 sold the last time they shared numbers.

Now, the team can invest in the secret IP and continue to support the existing ones comfortably. Patch 1.2 for Goat Simulator is coming soon, which will "surprise people just as much as they were surprised when they saw the trailer for the first time," he hopes. "When you get this press release from me in a couple months you better change your desk chair for a wheelbarrow, because you're going to shit bricks."

"There's also an announcement coming in a couple days that I'm not allowed to talk about," he adds.

Goat Simulator console-exclusive for the PS4 or XB1?

 

[freshVeggie]

I turn 23 today! (Aug 12)
In a short while, I'll be taking a flight to the states.
With the horrendous track record of airlines as of late, please wish me luck. Hopefully they've finally found alternative flight paths that avoid both syria and ukraine.
I probably won't be able to respond for a few days until I find wifi or sign up for a mobile data plan.
See ya later steamGaf! Gaming Night Gaf... I'm coming hohoho

Happy birthday gooch and have a safe flight!
Also, have fun in youesey!

Not only did they recoup all their costs within 10 minutes, but so did I thanks to Playfire rewards. Think I ended up making quite a profit on that game, ha. Shame Playfire's been nerfed since then, but given the abuse of the system going on I'm not surprised it happened.

 

[Knurek]

One can only hope for Alpaca Simulator.

 

[wetflame]

One can only hope for Alpaca Simulator.

More like a Flappy Goat standalone Steam release. With achievements for every point score from 10 to 100.

 

[Milamber]

We all know it's gonna be a MOBA anyway.

 

[freshVeggie]

What are the advantages of keeping full card sets till sales to badge them?
I had some sets and immediately crafted them for xp/friend slots. Should I have waited?

 

[AHA-Lambda]

Urgh, Goat Simulator is still the worst thing I've spent money on on Steam -_-

last two sales crafting badges during sales gave sales cards, I prefer them over coupons, that's why I wait.

You usually get items or cards related to the sale for crafting things during the sale.

I like Jim Sterling's opinion on this or similar games. It's really like they've been made entirely to be shown off by some YouTube person with a big following.

9 days prior to the start of the Summer and Winter Sales, coupons as a crafting reward are replaced with Mysterious Cards that turn into sale cards once said sales begin. If you can get in early you can sell them for a fair amount.

so, if i don't have the three games
can i still buy this discount and get the complete edition ?
how to use this ? i am new to the keys thing

 

[Beelzebubs]

I think it means that the person selling the games already owns all three games so they get the discount so they can sell the games on.

Would 100%.

Thing is that Goat Sim does what it does exceptionally well, I usually don't play joke games but the goat will unironically be in my top 3 for 2014.
