I only have 7 games left to idle.

But some take much longer than others somehow. I've been idling crimsonland since 35 minutes and still no card has dropped. Thank god it is the last card I need for that game. Ive canceled a few tries before because it always took way too long with this game.

Does any one here use 4 xbox controllers with their steam games? If so do you use just one wireless receiver? Just wondering as my steam big picture TV PC is setup up for couch gaming and I want to invest in 3 more controllers for game nights. Wondering if I'll need the receivers to.

I'm enjoying the colour coding in the Steam Beta. Looks good. Call me sad but I kind of wish Steam went to a full screen splash screenw hen checking for updates before launching, I want to spend as little time seeing the desktop as possible when it's set to load on start up

You can use multiple controllers with one receiver.

started a new character to get re-re-accustomed with dark souls. i feel this staggered dlc release is just kind of not ideal cos i keep forgetting how to play this game

took me a while to stop trying to sprint with l3 but i'm back in business, first three bosses dead (i got cocky on 4th and tried to parry him and got dead lol)

think i'm good now, so gonna start the dlc out. looks promising from the bits i tried but it's late

i think this means i'll never get suzuka in very hard in mitsurugi but tbh i don't mind so much, got my enjoyment out of that game. kinda wish the costumes weren't such a fucking grind but it was a absurdly entertaining game for how lowly it presented itself. really wish they made another one, i love insanity like that

 

[JaseC]

I presume this means that more D3 games are coming to Steam. Thus far the such titles on the service are those published through its American arm.

Thanks peeps. Now to find reasonably priced controllers, with charger packs inside and if possible cool designs

IdleMaster is truly a gift from the gods. Started my journey earlier tonight and already got 15 cards.

Spoiler

50 more to go.

Who are you people.

cards is treasure, only not long lost, but does it matter?

 

[Atraveller]

Since I'm giving all the Preys I bought away, so there are going to be two more giveaways.

I suppose the only question that matters is, "Have you played the other game that uses your likeness, Unearthed: Trail of Ibbidy-bibbidy-bop?"

 

[fantomena]

Fuck. Banjo Kazooie: N n B and Soul Calibur V is cheap on Xbox GoD. But I don't want to fix up my Xbox again from the shed.

Would love to have them on Steam...

 

[JaseC]

Nuts & Bolts is definitely up there as one of the games I'd love to see on the PC. It'd be a perfect fit for Steam, too, as Steam Workshop would allow players to easily publish vehicle blueprints.

 

[tioslash]

Hi guys, is there any info on when the remaining Kentucky Route Zero acts will be released? Is it still expected to be in 2014?

The final two episodes should release next year, as per the game's store page.

Do Namco/Bandai have any of their fighting games up on Steam other than the Naruto ones? I would love to see SC and Tekken on there but I think Tekken 7 was announced for PC IIRC.

Edit: I was correct, Tekken 7 is coming to PC. Hype.

how cheap? region free? :3

 

[Arthea]

yup, at least it was last time I checked and S2 price is ~4&#8364;

talking about cards. Foils seem not to sell at all lately. Idlemaster got me like 5 of them, I managed to sell 1, cheap too. I think that enough new games with cards get added every day for 400+ lvls not to care about foil badges anymore (._.)

 

[NingenJanai]

yup, at least it was last time I checked and S2 price is ~4€

if anyone can help me get it I'd appreciate it, I can paypal.

have you checked b/s/t thread? I think I've seen someone in there selling it.

anybody played Lichdom: Battlemage yet?
In the new trailer it seems to be much faster. I wonder is it trailer or ingame too.

Some new casualties as of about 40 minutes ago:

Removed store name &#8211; Call of Juarez

Removed store name &#8211; Great Big War Game

Removed store name &#8211; Miner Wars Arena Special Edition

Removed store name &#8211; Shattered Horizon

I'd been meaning to ask Futuremark for a key to the Shattered Horizon beta app that was included with pre-orders. I'm guessing I won't have much luck now.

Call of Juarez is not a new casualty, it was removed like a month ago if not more.

I think of all those I have only Juarez and Shattered Horizon. Need to check

It was still available on the Australian and USD Eastern European stores. I bought a copy for a GAFer not all that long ago.

Edit: 2.5 weeks ago, to be precise. Feels longer.

oh, that's weird, we had talk about it here, so I thought it was removed everywhere.
They don't necessary remove them simultaneously from all regions? good to know.

edited: of course they don't, I just remembered that for whatever reason Pirates! was removed from my regional store and then stealthily reappeared again. Actually, how often accidental removals happen? Just curious (><)

luckily I own all 3 Call of Juarez games (yes, three ... the you-know-which-one didn't happen as far as I'm concerned )

lemme guess... Gunslinger?

I kid, I kid

Once in a blue moon.

also, you should have totally entered my giveaway of Juarez instead of buying it! You would have won, you know it!

The copy I bought about 2.5 weeks ago was for another GAFer, not myself. I've had the game since the 2013 Summer Sale.

for the moment you let me to believe that I had a game you don't, you should have left me to my delusions!

Damn. Just need to sell my remaining cards to get enough money for the last key for the Half Minute Hero Bundle.

 

[freshVeggie]

The PRC flags have nothing to do with region-locking when it comes to store subs. Retail keys, yes, but not store purchases.
Edit: There's to be a Black Ops bundle, too. I wonder if there'll be a separate one for Mac given Black Ops OSX is an entirely separate game.
Edit edit: And a Black Ops 2 bundle, unsurprisingly.

I really liked CoD MW 1&2 on console. Don't own any CoD on PC sadly. If I had to choose I'd go BLOPS2 (thanks to lashman's streams) but of course having them all would be nice. Seems getting uncensored ones from Russia will be possible? Only problem, how low will CoD go? Even older titles are very expensive on Steam, so I can't get too excited

OT:

Man, that sounds awesome. Congratulations, really happy for you! You get away from the stressful mall ambiance. Plus more money. Win-win.

Impossible to say until the subs go live. ACRTAG could be thrown in at any moment.

I've bitched about Risen 3 a couple of times in this thread so I think it's only fair that I should also give it credit where it's due. There's one thing the game does really well: world building. The level designers and artists have a certain style in building their game world that you don't see anywhere else. The first couple of islands I went to were not very impressive but then I got to one of the big islands and that really does remind me of the first Risen. It has so many different paths to explore and it's always rewarding to do so. Another thing that stuck out to me was how they actually use verticality in their maps. Most open world games we see these days have some sort of city in them and are thus mostly flat. Risen has hills and cliffs and valleys that you walk up and down to get to buildings that are spread across each level. It really is fun to just wander around in the game.

I still think the game has loads of problems with it's simplistic quests and lousy dialogs, but the game world is one thing they've nailed perfectly.

Thanks for sharing, I plan to buy it and play (probably at winter seal, not sure yet) and it's good to know that exploration is rewarding.
OTOH, how can you complain about a game where you can swim wherever you want is still beyond me (><)
