i never understand why people want pay 2 win shit like buying a reputation or money pack for saints row or sleepy dogs or whatever

but cosmetics, damn cosmetics always get the best of me :/
 
In the future I hope they will release a dlc bundle pack where it cost much lesser than the total amount of all dlcs
I doubt it, DW never had a complete edition AFAIK, I mean look at how many editions a game has! Regular, Special, Empire, Xtreme Legends...

My problem with the Lovely Bones is the ending. I see what they were trying to do, I just don't like it.

Yeah, it's more than a little contrived, even considering the somewhat fantastical nature of the story. The film was originally supposed to end with Harvey's death being implied rather than shown, which would have been even worse, haha.

In the future I hope they will release a dlc bundle pack where it cost much lesser than the total amount of all dlcs

It'd probably cost more. :p

Where is the current-gen graphics DLC you cheap fucking bastards.

It'll hit six months from now for €24.99. :p

I started playing Van Helsing from HB. It's pretty fun, if a little janky and vague. I have no idea what I'm doing with these skills and perks and all this other shit I can level up, but I'm having some fun.

What's up with that companion, though? She was fighting a bunch in the beginning of the game but she's gone completely passive for me and I can't find a button to like activate her.

There are 3 buttons on her character icon or menu that controls her AI behavior, goes between melee, ranged or passive.

I recommend using her in ranged mode. Melee mode I ended up wasting a lot of health pots on her since he aggroed most of the creeps and would drop really fast. If you have a lot of pots then melee works too since you can use the auto-pot functionality (she uses a pot automatically as her hp drops below a certain value).

I actually enjoyed her lines quite a bit. Thought she was a good companion, helped me survive quite a few times.

My only issue with the game was that it ended too fast. Just as I was starting to own everyone with my melee hero I entered the final fight. Oh well.

They shouldn't call the Steam version complete in the first place >.<

Don't give them ideas

Do you have any tips on builds? Right now I am a ranged hunter, but I read that melee builds are much stronger, but I don't find any builds at all

While you guys are all posting Copons' cat, why not go to the RPGmaker contest thread and play Brodzilla? It's featuring said cat as the fluffiest villain ever. And while you're there, play the rest of the games and post your reviews! :)

(so good waking up with all this fluffiness!)

Also, what he's saying, despite being just some guy in a hat, it's kinda important/funny/interesting/yolo.
There's this contest going on, where a bunch of uberGAFfers created an amateur RPG Maker game in a couple of months to win basically fame, glory and a ton of modbottable games.
Now all 12 submitted games are ready for everybody to play, review and rate here: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=871409

If you have a couple of hours to spare to try some of them out, it would really be great. :)

Hey did Ryse ever get a release date mentioned? I've seen it pop up at a few retailers for preorder now with a tentative date of either the 12th of September or the 26th. Of course one is a banned site and the other are really useless with their release dates so take that as you will but I can imagine one Untethered Horse would be quite happy if it was out so soon . Pricing is in and around £30 so even I'm tempted.

(so good waking up with all this fluffiness!)

LOL


Also, adding a simple "u", that gif could be the default reaction for when you open Steam and there are 40 new items in your inventory and your growing excitement is doomed to be cockblocked when you discover that none of those items is a cool gift at all. :(

Hoping to put a few more hours in to The Escapists today. Only played it for a couple hours and seems there's a lot more to do in it. Hoping updates come regularly too.

what's going on with all those anonymous giveaways lately?
I think I've already seen at least 4 of them in the past couple of days where afterwards people were saying the keys have already been redeemed ....

is someone trying to get a megagiver status by anonymously giving away used keys??? O_O

dunno but now I'm as salty as a sunless sea

what is the meaning of this chicanery?

Just a little theory from the Steam Controller thread:

Yeah, true.

So, is it reasonable to think that maybe their next game (L4D3?) might have an edition bundled with the Steam controller?

Two subs appeared in the Steam registry recently, both of which include a "game" named Steam Hardware. I'd guess the larger one (Valve's stuff + a ton of third-party games) is to be bundled with Steam Machines and the smaller one (Valve's stuff + several third-party games) with the Steam Controller alone. The neat thing is both contain the Portal 2 Sixense DLC, which was previously exclusive to the now-long-gone Razer Hydra hardware bundle.
 
One of the bundle keys I gave away a few days ago was a duplicate as well. Tried contacting Groupees support to sort it out but I didn't get a reply. I still feel bad for the winner :(

Anyway, more beta keys

Loved the newest overview to consoles in Finland's biggest magazine today. PC's minus is that "consoles are for sofa, PC's for desktop" (Where have I heard that before?). Basic PC apparently costs 500&#8364; while "hi-fi PC" costs 1500-9000&#8364; (wut). The one exclusive for PC available that they mentioned was Spin Tires. First time I heard of that game. It does look nice though. They did admit there is a lot of exclusives (weird games and MMO's).

Just a little theory from the Steam Controller thread:

Interesting. One way to get SteamBoxes fly would be giving away big number of games I guess.

Did anyone else crash right after the tutorial in Super Time Force?
It froze my controller in vibrate, locked up my whole PC. Shut it down and restarted but then didn't want to do the tutorial again so I quit.

That's what I get for Day 1ing games <_<

That second bundle looks to be what they gave to the testers of the Steam controller. First bundle might be for reviewers?

The first bundle is what the beta testers received, I believe.

Edit: Valve never followed up its Metro: Last Light announcement despite promising to do so.


Edit: You're right about the second bundle. See below.
