STEAM | December 2014 - Read OP for winter sale questions

I hope it doesn't get locked, I like it here, have nowhere else to go too ;__;

ya, I thought it worked pretty well at Autumn sale, oh well, we'll survive either way, no?
It's just that sales thread moves rather fast and had a lots of repeats. I mean nobody reads it past a few post if at all, so all questions are repeated several times, hard to follow because of how boring it gets after a while
 
I'm pretty sure there is no need to lock and nobody will lock it. What's the point? It's not in gaming, nobody goes here but us, and it doesn't repeat the same that sales thread does.

edited: oh, mrOrange wants it locked? but what for?

To force me to play games instead of post on GAF?

If I was told KI is coming to PC and then it doesn't...

Well...

Fulgore won't be happy.

Hey SteamGAF did any of you guys/girls made Google Cardboard VR? I just saw that there is software that can be used for playing PC games with Cardboard VR (or any other setup that includes Android phone) and i want to make one now. :D
 
i wonder if im really going to get a key for Lara Croft 2 from gamersgate or not. Wonder if they'll avoid refunding me my money since i used paypal and i imagine that's a much bigger pain than if i had just punched in my CC#
 
JaseC!!!! What have you done to me?!

Damn. You weren't joking around in the steam chat.
-
Hey frost, you were excited about this game. Look, it is coming to PC. Rejoice!
-
Morning!
not sure if this was posted already but the sale starts on the 18th :D
Time flies by.
-
Almost everything is more expensive in the EU than everywhere else (maybe except Australia)
Yep. EU gets shafted all the time. Not only game prices but hardware as well.
Someone should throw EU a bone or two from time to time.
-
Anyone lately getting gaf tabs constantly loading? Have to reload manually to get it fixed. Kinda annoying.

Also. Nice stuff speevy and experte.

Those of you who are loosing your Lara Craft and the Temple of Osiris, are you in the EU? Because I wonder if the consumer law where a store has to sell a product to the price that they have set, even if its is a mistake applies to GG and it's costumers in the EU.

I'm from Argentina, no laws here, digital gunslingers can kill us all.
 
Personally, it really wasn't too much trouble flipping between this thread and the sales / news threads during the Autumn sale, but then again that was a smaller sale (I haven't been around long enough to know how hectic it may get during the big ones.)

I liked how this was open for critiques of the games / sale prices so that I could decide if I should buy a game or not. I hold a higher value of most of the opinions of the regulars who post here than those whom I'm not familiar with in a sale thread, especially the randoms who just come by during the big sales with not much to add beyond whether the price suits them. Would the Winter sale thread be open for discussions and semi-off topic stuff too?

So I decided to look into when Sekai Project is releasing Paca Plus, and this is the most recent piece of information I could find on it, posted on November 17th.

Anonymous asked: Speaking of Alpacas, any updates on Paca Plus?

Ah, yes actually there was a bit of a problem at the alpaca farm the other day. Unfortunately, due to technical difficulties with the machinery, things had to be pushed back a little. We deeply apologize, but we hope to get these alpacas out to you as soon as possible! - SM

I'm going to guess that it won't be on Steam until some time next year.

Haven't gotten refunded yet by GG. That's some bullshit though.

With all the price mistakes that GG tends to have, I suppose it was only a matter of time before it started clamping down on them, haha. That being said, it is unfortunate that the method of choice is refunding orders as opposed to, you know, updating its software so that the mistakes are exponentially less likely to happen.
 
what do you mean "after"? lol ... you're funny ;)

;)
Awww I bet you say this to every super monkey you meet.

You mean it's not day one DLC?

Hahaha almost, those beach costumes will make life easy for modders.

of course it is, he's joking, checking your alertness.

I never joke when I talk about nude mods.

Pretty much day one. I mean, given some of the existing outfits, it wouldn't be that hard to make one.

Great minds...

Faster than Durante fixed Dark Souls.

Measured on picoseconds then!

Thanks everyone :)

This is only the second time they did it though right? Warlock 2 being the first, which was understandable. Didn't jump on it but it seems the The Evil Within mistake was honored? This really isn't that bad of a mistake tbh. They've had way worse.

Mystery Game -- MB-EB6ABBD6BC5CDCCA - Taken by iosefe
 
4.1GB update for The Evil Within with these incredibly in depth patch notes...

- Performance optimizations on Higher end GPU systems
- Fix for “The Power of Three” achievement unlocking incorrectly after upgrading the same weapon three times
- Count-based achievement progress persists when loading earlier saves for some trophies.

Finland here and I wonder too about that too.
I got my key and redeemed it immediately though, so I guess we'll see if they revoke it something.

Warlock 2 was slightly different insofar that the game was set to $0.00, so it was free -- Temple of Osiris is, to the best of my knowledge, the first time that GamersGate has refunded everybody who actually purchased something.

Same here, I redeemed it directly and they have removed it from my GG account but it's still on my Steam, so I'm playing it right now till they do remove it.XD

Finland here also.:D Though originally from Sweden, here for studies.
