Dammit... I don't enjoy console wars... but I like the chaos and insanity around it.
What does that make me?

That's the joke.
Well, I went through the game on Hard, simply because it said that that was the way the game should be played. I actually strongly agree with that sentiment. While it was frustrating in places, you are short of everything and have a difficult alien to contend with, it keeps the tension high at that difficulty. Any lower is really going to start effecting the experience, however for different skill levels of player maybe it will still be as good

Can people make up their mind about the Order already? Once it's a GoTY contender, then it's just a tech showcase without substance, then it's great again and how dare people criticize it before release, because impressions from PSX have been great. Just shows how fickle and swayable a lot of people are, and yet a lot of these people call out the press and PR for hyping things. Ugh.

Yep, it's gone. Played 6 hours of it and that was all I needed. Free rental!
You're not missing much though. It's alright.
A voyeur.

Aww man. There are a couple of them in the B/S/T thread for 10 bucks, but I'm scared they're going to be revoked or something

If they're game + season pass from GG they're definitely revoked now. There are also some from the Ubi promotion which should be fine though.

If they were bought from GamersGate, then they likely will be.

Crap. Mine was too. And still no refund. Instead of being off the hook, I'm doubly screwed.
Yeah, seriously, as a wise man working for Ubisoft once said - "Community only, who cares?"
Well I'm not going to be risking it for another month I think
In other news, everyone's favourite skyrim streamer is back

Judging from lack of OT and general forum activity the game bombed hard. Expect quick discounts.

Speaking of bad investments: Warband's Viking Conquest is pretty shit. Don't be like me and buy this. Those are bucks you could better invest in porn or the patreon of every frame a painting.
Viking Conquest tries to tell a story, to lead the player onto an adventure. There is a free mode, but even that has a story instead of just letting you be some random guy being at some random location, doing whatever. I mean, you can just ignore the plot, but you need to do at least some part of it, just to have assets to do anything. The game doesn't give you enough assets at the beginning to just start anything on your own.
I first tried to create a female character, but she turned out to look very terrible. The female player body looks like a weird bodysuit.
And then there are the bugs.
Menus take sometimes long to load. I once in the while wait for about 5 seconds until the quest menu opens. Doesn't sound like much, but it's annoying really fast, especially if menus have a regular delay.
For your medieval Europe adventure, get 1257 AD, which is superior in every aspect. Even in the story telling, because you're not having someone serve you a story. You build your own.

This here is my favorite:
You can't swim, when you jump into water you just walk there normally. You don't need to breath, you're not slowed down. You just walk.

Really wish people would stop ruining gaming for everyone else by preordering shit...
crafting boosters too expensive tho
Mr. Poolman
Member
How do the gem thing works and how do I craft them?
It's all over now. Someone generated a billion of these gems and everyone bought packs of them to craft into booster packs, which we can sell for anywhere between 15 cents to a dollar or more and use them towards Steam games. People ended up with hundreds of thousands of gems.
With respect to possibly rarer cards down the line, meh. I'm impatient.

Now it's at 1,365. Don't worry, I won't post daily updates but something extreme like this doesn't happen all too often.

Wallet has been reimbursed, the cards from boosters are still in my account
.
for now
hmmmmmmmmmm
Just got some money randomly added to my Steam Wallet and a voucher. Is that the Gem reimbursement? If it is, they paid me too much
I have about 33,000 gems, so I hope they give me however many pennies that is.

All my sacks (150 or so) are gone while the gems are still there. Only got a 4€ refund which I don't think covers what I paid to get the gems they removed. I think in the end I got fucked over while others made big bank.
Add Hangeki to that list as well. Above Astebreed. Man that game is just awesome.
It seems like they are repaying any Gems that were bought on the market. Gems you legit crafted look like they stay. I assume they have worked out a way to spot legit from glitch.
For example - they have paid me in Steam Wallet funds for the Gems I lost via the Glitch - which is nice of them considering I was attempting to game the system and it back fired on me haha
