The faq mentions 2000 games for bidding but is there list somewhere, what games are those? Wheelman is in the list?

Spoiler

I kid, I kid

but seriously, is there any way to check?

The list of games was taken down when the auction system was disabled.

Well achievements were way easier to get with SAM. You just open SAM, select achievements you want and that's it. Every Steam meta game was unfair

SAM's existence doesn't mean achievement-based meta-games aren't viable.

Edit: Gotta love that Desura's installer is 39MB and upon opening it you have to download a 37MB update.

 

[Arthea]

I'm not sure how metagames can even be fair. You can't please everyone, anyway.

Valve is now fixing it? What if they can't fix it until a sale ends? no metagame? (><)

I think they aren't viable, SAM or no, share willingness of so many people to go cheating way, shows that it's not an option, unfortunately

Everytime you post that image I think there's a problem with my PC >.<

Jesus I don't even know what happened while I was out at my work Christmas party last night, has the winter sale metagame already been ruined for me?

No meta-game isn't exactly unprecedented as last year's Summer Sale didn't have one.

Cheating via saves has existed since Steam's very first achievement-based meta-game and there have been a few since. Secure achievements may protect against that, anyway.

It's a scientific fact that penguins don't need graphics options.

Why would a console terminal have resolution options?

Mysteries hurt my soul, do I have it? is it safe to enter? >.<

 

[ashecitism]

Valve should really do something to improve the situation on it. Things like these will only hurt their initiative.

Good luck with auctions and Gems SteamGAF (if Valve releases them today). I need to go to college now to finally get my degree that i earned 3 months ago

Knowing my luck i will miss another Gem fiesta on Steam

 

[bobnowhere]

Jesus I don't even know what happened while I was out at my work Christmas party last night, has the winter sale metagame already been ruined for me?

It was a pre-christmas sale auction supposedly to reward members invested in their accounts. The actual sale meta-game seems to be similar to the last few, special sale cards etc...

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

Ugh.

I know Elegy will be on sale next week. Because why the fuck wouldn't it? It's a game. On Steam.

But want to buy noooooooooooooow.

 

[Arthea]

I knew that Jasec converted bunch of the steamgaf to dark side already and 2K is no big deal anymore, but it still kinda is for me and as I'm getting close (19 to 2K, there is a good chance I'll make it at winter sale time), I began to think what my 2K should be, it wont be Trails SC unfortunately and I can't think of anything other so big and long awaited for me. So taking suggestions, gifts maybe involved for the best suggestions or not, it depends!

Jasec, you could play it, pretty please? (><)

My 1500 games milestone was some IndieGala crap game

Edit: I am going to London tomorrow, is there any game/anime store that I should be aware of?

I don't have it. Maybe I'll snap it up during the Winter Sale as I work my way through the cheapest stuff as the sale draws to a close.

I didn't do anything for 3500 but my current plan is to have the Disney Fairy/Princess Pack get me to 4k, although I am toying the idea of getting to 3999 and then buying a grossly overpriced copy of Rugby Challenge 2.

I've never been one to jump on new releases unless they're generously discounted. I couldn't really afford to do otherwise before and while I could now (expensive stuff aside, obviously), there's just no real point.

Adventure Time: The Secret Of The Nameless Kingdom

 

[Deques]

Second tier for Dead or Alive 5 has been unlocked. Now it's only the most important tier left to be unlocked!

Adventure Time: The Secret Of The Nameless Kingdom

Is the game bad or something, it seems never had many playing it at the same time. 9 players is the all time peak

 

[Snakethesniper]

So reading the game hub it appears that Blazblue doesn't recognize madcatz arcade sticks...or at least the ps3 ones. And I know it will never be patched. GG

It has some nice graphics and plays very similar to Legend of Zelda: ALTTP.

I don't know, I don't have it, but it seems like a really cool 2D Zelda clone.

I like to think I'm the shit.
No, let's put it this way: I think I kinda have a more mature Whedon-style, but want a more mature Not Whedon-style.

Eh, good enough to sometimes fool people into producing my plays. Take that for what you will.

Someone mentioned that to me as well, just mind blowing. If I had the game and the stick, I'd open up the stick and just rearrange the buttons.

I'd get a refund instead.

This guy

http://steamcommunity.com/id/reported_pc/inventory/#753_6

is buying winter sale card for the last 10 minutes or so! Every one of them!

 

[JaseC]

Looks like Rovio may finally be releasing the original Angry Birds, which has been sitting in the registry for donkey's years. There's also Angry Birds Rio and Angry Birds Seasons, but both are as dead as ever.

 

[Dr Dogg]

All my junk is selling! It's selling out fast!

You can keep your silly gems at this rate I've probably got an item or two sorted and paid for come Seal Time.

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

Aw, need to go to bed anyway. My wallet is safe one more day!

Pro fur just plain buying Elegy: I'm a writer and right now I'm currently going through Writer's Drought. So it would benefit me more than simply being an innovative game.
Cons fur just plain buying Elegy: Winter Sale is in six days; it still costs money and I'm unemployed with a lawyer bill.

fuck it. bought.

when you'll play it, I hope to read a lot how it went

Oh did people ruin the meta game already? There's a surprise.

why it is worst, exactly? Because there was a bug and people abused it? Idea itself has nothing to do with it, though

I don't see such an improvement from PS4 version, but I need to check it in-game.

There are comparison sliders here.

I think I'll wait, just in case there is another metagame, then again if you plan to sell winter cards, earlier is better, sale card prices are higher, but with recent developments, I'm not sure at all how it'll all go at all

Yeah, not sure what I should do with the market crash and all, guess I'll wait a few days at least.

Well despite my japanese being nonexistent seeing 3325x1871 in what is painfully obvious is the resolution setting fills my heart with glee (ie that's an Nvidia DSR selectable resolution) though I think I caught 60fps being the maximum so fingers crossed framepacing is alright and bit of bugger for high refresh folks. Other than that there's a lot more dynamism in the effects work here and there as well as quality will more than likely be improved (waste of time trying to look out for it on YouTube footage) but gameplay is obviously going to be largely the same. Still I own GZ on PS3 so it's a monumental upgrade!
