Support NeoGAF

[Kurt Russell]

If that's what's used to "purchase" from other regions how do they turn it to money/profit? Do they just resell it at a premium in their market or trade with higher value?

Their games are cheaper (but new games are usually region locked so the keys business doesn't work there)

It's not a very good time to start, though. Now you need to have a personal Russian bear to help you, because you need to trust them enough to give them your keys and also hope not to get chargebacked.

 

[Turfster]

Oh god, the auction is horribly broken.

 

[MUnited83]

nope

oh. welp. Oh well, shouldn't affect too much anyone who buys keys with paypal.


It will make keys drop as a rock on the Winter Sales though, that's for sure.

 

[orthodoxy1095]

Oh god, the auction is horribly broken.

Has something gotten worse?

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

what are you guys doing

Oh, you know. The usual. Just chillin'. Trying to get my case reopened with the Department of Rehab (still a horrible name for a group for the mentally disabled). Going to a few stores, filling out apps for work-work.

Vergil for DMC 4 SE.

It's Virgil as a new playable character in DMC4. Probably a bunch of other improvements too.

basically a "remastered" for dmc4 but they haven't released any info on what they have improved other than a teaser that vergil will be returning.

it could mean a new scenario with vergil and it might lead to a new dmc game

THE TIME HAS COME

its a re-release of DMC4 (and DmC too, even tho everyone is ignoring it pretending Capcom is only re-releasing DMC4 in silly hopes that THE REAL DMC IS BACK AND DMC5 WILL BE MADE) on current gen consoles, like every game aparently is being re-released >_>

hmm, i guess that's sort of exciting but yeah, anything short of dmc5 is kind of disappointing i guess

like, i'm not too keen about spending $30 on dmc4 or something

 

[SneakyStephan]

Is there a full easily browsable list of all the games up for auction?
Sifting through it 10 at a time in the steam client SUCKS

 

[alr1ght]

So do those old Dark Souls serials work as new/additional copies?

 

[Anteater]

hmm, i guess that's sort of exciting but yeah, anything short of dmc5 is kind of disappointing i guess

like, i'm not too keen about spending $30 on dmc4 or something

but dmc5 is coming

before a new dino crisis

 

[Salsa]

people are trying to buy stuff for 2k gems that's been priced at way less than $2, so I guess this is working

 

[Dimitri2401]

It seems the games in the auction were donated by the devs and publishers, so it's pure profit for Valve. They definitely are geniuses.

 

[zkylon]

sooo.... steamworks dark souls doesn't support dsfix eh?

 

[Grief.exe]

Good recommendation for a cheap, SteamGAF approved Early Access game.

hmm, i guess that's sort of exciting but yeah, anything short of dmc5 is kind of disappointing i guess

Especially when we can already play DMC4 at 8K and whatever frame rate we want.

I swear this console generation is like we took a time machine back to 2008. We are just now getting to 1080p/60?

sooo.... steamworks dark souls doesn't support dsfix eh?

It does.

My wounds will never heal.

 

[ashecitism]

I knew Valve's decision to pull that from GL would rile some people up, they were never going to win no matter what they choose, but for GGers to attack them? ....

 

[salazar547]

is this true??

 

[Anteater]

well people aren't giving a shit about the graphical upgrades tbh, and dmc4 was already 720p and 60fps so the improvements shouldn't be that great, people are more excited about the new scenario and what it might possibly mean for the future of the series, plus dmc4 isn't exactly perfect so there could be other improvements that could be made for the game.

So, humble bundle is like dead right? They haven't updated in like almost a month.

 

[BinaryPork2737]

Well, I managed to win Residue for 1700 gems, so I don't feel the need to use the auction again.

Nice to own it now, since I didn't pick up the one bundle it was in.

 

[dave is ok]

So, humble bundle is like dead right? They haven't updated in like almost a month.

It's usually Tuesdays for the main bundle.

 

[Anustart]

Just beat the swapper. I swapped, #yolo.

 

[Videospel]

Sack of gems are now around €0.8. Do you think the price will keep increasing?
I got some before that I was thinking of selling close to when the price peaks.

 

[_hekk05]

First, if you're going to jump back into payday 2 for Clover, it's $5 for her character.
Second, if you have interest in the Diamond Heist that they're pairing with her, it's $7. So you get to drop $12 if you want to play as her in this new diamond heist.

I love PAYDAY 2, and I'd love to get the rest of my achievements, but I will not be spending $12 on this.

I'm gonna be with frost on this. Its not like there's a lack of things in payday to do. I can wait til spring or summer sale, where there is going to be a 75% off clover's dlc.

Muh backlog calls for me from the shadows

http://steamcommunity.com/auction/item/1508-Subnautica


Subnautica is a pretty good get for this price. It's still not available for purchase on Steam and it's 35$ on the developer's site.


Further more, the last three auctions had that exact same guy bidding those 11 600 gems. The game was sniped those three times for a last minute bid(including me). I recommend for you to do the same, snipe it at the last minute.(bidding now would rise up the price )

 

[Turfster]

They've been running a pretty good winter sale, and they've still got bundles running, so...

 

[Nzyme32]

I know I am ridiculously late to this, but now that GFWL is gone from Dark Souls, and somehow the game is running more stably that I can get past the first bonfire and play a good half hour....

Holy shit. I'm really liking Dark Souls at my care free pace of don't know what the fuck I'm doing or even how to control my guy, but, really liking the atmosphere, roaming the ruins and working out how to fight the crazy undead!!

sooo.... steamworks dark souls doesn't support dsfix eh?

It does. Just not the framerate unlock yet. Either the guy who did that bit will fix it, or someone else who posted something to Durante "may" have a fix, otherwise, github has stuff for someone else to work it out.

EDIT - Everyone is way ahead of me. Game is already fixed!

 

[Smash88]

I don't understand all these people that are bidding for that christmas profile, when it will just disappear on Jan. 16th. People are literally throwing money away anywhere from $60-90 over a profile that is gone afterwards.

If by "dead" you mean still doing new bundles, then yes.

I keep checking every Tuesday. (not sure when Tuesday, but it's Tuesday here now) and it has said:

Promotion unavailable

Sorry, Humble SEGA Bundle is currently unavailable in your area.

In the meantime, check out our other great promotions.

Since sometime in November. Sega is the worst.

Wrong perception of the "bullshit virtual money" gems.

Quote to Reveal

*DISCLAIMER: I'm unsure whether the key is going to work or not, but seeing as it worked when SF4 migrated to Steamworks I figured it should apply here as well.

The key *might* also be taken as I posted it in the Dark Souls Steamworks topic, no one has come forth and claimed it however so I'll post it here as well.

Apparently I was wrong.

But for $600-900 no thanks. I don't care how rich you are, that is just plain dumb.

so they bought them at 0.30?

they can still sell em now at 0.98

It was going for double and triple that earlier.

The only explanation I have is they're sitting on all these gems they made for 0.30 and are blocked from selling on the market. Otherwise ¯\_(&#12484_/¯

So apparently if you get the "win an auction" badge first, you can't get the exp for the lower levels. Is that right? That seems to be the case for me.

I have lost the other badges as well. It only says 100xp. Didn't keep track if I got the other 200

I think the auction badge is only worth 100XP, regardless of it's level.
