Who is Derrick?

Also, Crash is probably the best exclusive IP Sony has ever had. What kind of horrible person wouldn't want a new Crash?

He doesn't do meltdowns, he would convince us it is shit before it's even released.

Oh when the games actually come out, he's even more active, as I remember with Tomb Raider hehe. But yeah, his opinion is set in stone usually.

Someone should gift him Dishonored 2...

The thought process behind that blog and the reason Chmielarz tweeted it's existance is flawed at best. The fact that someone played x hours doesn't preclude a valid manichean assessment that the game is not recommendable.

Secondly, this blog is falsely assuming that the Steam time log is an accurate recording of the reviewers play time.

Just... have... fun with it.

It was just a matter of time. Publishers shouldnt go for such DRM and make the price low as ultimately all will be cracked. Its better to make the price low so that many people will buy it.

there's no need for anything complicated

just don't use drm

pubs save some money

people don't have to deal with uplay

everybody happy

So what would everyone consider their favorite purchase over the sale?
I'd have to say I was pretty happy to nab Endless Legend.

i only bought lyne

so lyne :p

I've been using SLI for close to two years now and I still occasionally forget this happens.

I only got Castle Crashers. Was really hoping to get Ducktales at a deep discount though. That was the reason I signed up for Steam in the first place.

Guess I'll wait for the Winter sale.

I agree just use DRM like steam or else wont get cards or achievements and they save money and we also do!

Spending money on costly DRM is a waste of time same for multiplayer games no DRM is needed as without buying no access to the server so why bother to spend money protecting the game. But sadly the pubs won't ever understand.

Breach & Clear is well worth your money guys. It's basically XCOM distilled into discrete levels where your scored out of 4 stars based on how fast you completed the level and health/soldiers lost. Every level has 5 difficulties, and each has different amounts of enemies and different enemy placement (there's SO MANY levels). You also have a class system similar to the new XCOM (breacher, direct action, intelligence, fireteam leader, etc) complete with stats and leveling system, and each soldier can be customized with tons and TONS of equipment to choose from (rolling right now with an all skull balaclava KSK squad, it's pretty neato). It even has a permadeath mode.

It's 3.75 USD right now so get it ASAP!

someone?

well fuck you too saoirse :>

Haha, sorry, I had no record of who and didn't want to risk crediting the wrong person.

Huh! So Steam doesn't sell them now anymore?
Don't call me caveman but I may have missed that.
. What happened?

They were pulled some months after Steam Community's guide feature launched, so the running theory is that Valve disallowed their sale.
 
So nothing terribly enticing from this sale, but that's a nice content feeling seeing as though I've got so much to enjoy. I think it will be fun to get back into the gifting this winter sale.

Lol. Really? So Jasec buys even guides? He doesn't buy programs though !

except he does. If its on steam, assume he buys it. If Steam sold STDs, JaseC would need a penicillin IV drip inserted into his back, like a cyborg

I am going to make it through this year if it kills me

Certainly the weirdest post I've seen today.

And if SLI settings reset and you don't notice, then why bother with it?

if SteamGAF ever have trading cards. It would be like Saoire, Elizabeth, Zooey, and like 5 other ladies.

They'll be wallpapers of each one. I'll craft a badge or two for that.

well if its a proper game youll notice it, go "wtf is going on FUCK YOU UBI...oh wait SLI is disabled"

if its WoW, a toaster could run it, so you wont notice if one of your fancy high end cards isnt being used

edit: fancy high end cards, not fany >_>
