STEAM | December 2014 - Read OP for winter sale questions

Ehh that's just like peace walker. The side stuff allows you to obtain better vehicles, equipment, soldiers and manuals. Makes the storyline easier, and some of the missions are a bitch to beat if you want an S grade.

Also monster hunter missions and Paz date

The peace walker stuff had meat to it though.
The GZ side missions really don't offer anything aside from. If you do good you can play it ina different style,

Yeah, the thing with the way i play a Metal Gear game (and i think this goes for most MG fans, really) is that im just there to see the craziness in the main game and to see what the hell Kojima did to the metal gear storyline this time around. I've never played any of the bonus stuff for MG games (like Snake Tales or the VR missions post-MGS1) and i imagine that a lot of people who played GZ kinda did the same thing i did and just tossed it aside as soon as they finished the main story mission. so stuffing the game with side stuff just seemed like a good excuse to justify the initial $40 price point they had with the game, which was and still remains a ridiculous thing to have asked for for so little content.

Yeah that's how I play my MGS as well and when you realize 90% of GZ is shown in the trailers it really is just a play it and you're done kind of thing.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
This should be handy for some people:

Is there a reason I have RACE 07: Andy Priaulx Crowne Plaza Raceway in my game library, even though it's listed as Free DLC, is not a full game on it's own, and only says it has 0 MB for a download?

I'm rather confused as to how it just showed up out of nowhere for me.

This should be handy for some people:

Very handy, thank you.

Serious Sam 3 BFE -- MB-876EA6C099C8C18E - Taken by RyanPierre

Santa left me a gift on Steam... turns out when I redeemed it, a copy of SS3 BFE popped into my inventory. So I guess it's the gift that keeps on giving... at least the first time.

Warframe
Loadout
Max Payne 3 (ghost town)
GTA 4 (I don't even think online works anymore)
Gears of War (uuhhhh.....)
Spec Ops the Line (this game had online?)
Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City (why)

no but seriously I can't wait until Kojima graces us with MGO
Nah, none of the above is for me heh. I might check out Loadout though.

To get my socom fix, I have counter strike global offensive with the socom go mod. Check some YouTube vids out of it. Really brings back the old days of socom and the room is usually crowded with people.

Hmm, I can't get much into Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, and the videos didn't do much for me. I guess I'm looking for something more military/tactical-like.

Returning some of the generosity for steam gaf, this is the 'you didn't even know you wanted it' giveaway.

Two games that get a little bit of love here but not enough. If you win unity of command the expansions are $2 each and worth it for more gameplay.
 
um so like i guess i accidentally started and played music from steam, I must've hit a shortcut without even realizing it. how do i turn it off?

edit: nvm, i figured out how to turn it off, but still whats the shortcut so i know next time?

Fuck dat shit! When I had exams I wanted to start watching a new tv show, downloaded Amalur and wanted to play that, I was suddenly extremely interested in imgur. Now that exams are over I'm just sitting on my bed playing minimised FM15.

/sigh
 
Errr my new rig is up and running and I launched CS:GO to try it out (4690K and 970).

FPS's at everything high is 300 steady but I get these HUUUUUGE input lag/frame stuttering spikes that last for fractions of seconds to even a second, rendering the game un playable. I am installing other games right now but there's a large thread in here:

https://forums.geforce.com/default/topic/777475/geforce-900-series/gtx-970-frame-hitching-/1/

Anyone having these kinds of problems? My temps are in the low 50's at max.

edit: Dark Souls doesn't have these problems, running at solid 60 with all settings high

Hope this isn't a common problem as I was just going to upgrade my rig to the same. What brand 970 are you running?

I'm extremely excited to see how mouse and keyboard works with Ground Zeroes. And I never got to complete it 100% on PS4, so there's that.
 
So it's the 11th, but my preload of FF13-2 still says 'preload' what gives, why can't I play it?

:checks calendar:
Ok, future man, nice try.

Available: December 11
This game will unlock in approximately 19 hours

Just got a friend request and uncontrollably became excited.

It's private profile :/

I am gonna accept because I hope for the best.

Shower them in gifts and take advantage of all their generosity.

Only 1 second after accepting I got this barrage.
At least someone chose me, right? Even if only for scamming.

I was that friend that couldn't contact you.
Now you'll never get the games I bought for you.

vavle will probably pull the game from your account and you'll get a little pop-up window notifying you. Play idle it ASAP for cards.

Probably. It took them a while last time though.

I still can't install that new Lara Croft game, what the fuck is going on. Strangest issue I've had with a game on Steam in a long time!

For you.
You are just lucky (in this case anyway) to live in tier 2 euro country. It's 40 euros here on Steam, with 10% discount applied on it making it 36 euros. Or in other words, I'm waiting until it's like 90% off because of bullshit tier 1 pricing and region locking.
Purchases from EU 2 are region free so you can aks someone on that region to get it for you.

edit: welp double post

It's about 8AM December 11th here in Japan, 19 hours would make it 3AM December 12th. I suppose it makes sense that it unlocks using some American time zone. I am not from the future though.
