STEAM | December 2014 - Read OP for winter sale questions

I'm interested too, I love the game but I suck because most of the time I get around 600 gold.

Eventually things start to click. Most of the early game is spent getting a feel for everything. Like the other guy said, stick to rooms that hold treasure. Once you max out the gold-up bonuses, then focus on unlocking classes. Eventually you'll unlock tanks. Their damage is pretty bad but they can take a lot of damage.

Also, my suggestion is to stick with this game until you absolutely do not want to play it again. I've beaten the game a couple times, now I'm on NG++. However, I stopped playing for awhile, did dozens of other games for a long time, then when I came back all I could think was "Wow this game is a lot of bullshit." It's going to take me another few hours just to get re-acclimated with a game I spent a good bit of time with long ago.

It sounds like it doesn't make sense, but keep it in mind anyway.
 
Are people stupid?

Indiegala always writes on the Steam activity feed if a new bundle is available or if a bundle is about to run out. No problem.
People complaining that Indiegala is "spamming" their activity feed because one time they release the same article twice....

If you dont like it just get out of this group.
 
Courier Mod is a good one to get.

There are 6 weapon packs that probably aren't needed (someone to clarify?)

There are 3 heist packs that basically allow you to host that heist. I think that's the only thing you miss by not having them.

... and masks

In my opinion, most of the weapon packs range from barely useful to at least fun, but perhaps not "viable" on the highest difficulties. The only one that was a real game changer was the Sniper Pack due to each gun doing absurd amounts of armor-piercing damage. Got a hallway clogged with shields? No problem. Bulldozer on the charge? Meet the Thanatos.

Each heist DLC contains masks and some manner of weaponry - either a single gun or a series of melee weapons - but other than that you're right. So long as the host owns it, you don't really need it.

Nice, thanks guys. Will check them out and eventually get them during the Winter sale.



oh my ... new issue for The Secret World ... awesome!! :D

Oh, nice. I'm a new player, how does this work with Steam? Can you purchase this via Steam or is it only available through their storefront?

honestly - I have no idea ... it's been really strange ... all the other issues can only be purchased from their store ... but then they added Issue #9 as DLC on steam, although I suspect it was because the steam DLC includes some other in-game stuff as well ... which way will they go with Issue #10? your guess is as good as mine ;)

I see. Issue 9, is that what they call "Collector's Edition" on Steam? Because last time I looked I couldn't find Issue 9 as a separate DLC.

Wrong about commas, wrong about everything
Slow? I don't think so. Also I don't know how you did such a thing, on Hard. I'm 17 hours into the game, on Nomral, I died maybe three times totally, I always grab 4 or 5 shurikens in each battle, so I think I'm doing very well, I'm grabbing a lot of secrets too.

That's weird. Maybe Steam didn't track my playtime correctly cause after I beat the game I spent a bunch of times just dicking around in the levels to find the collectibles and do some achievment stuff.

Haha, ok,. hHow much is Issue 9 normally? 25€ feels a bit steep, but on the other hand I have no idea how much content it offers.

I can't really remember ... but I'm pretty sure they're either $10 or $15 on their own

of course you have to buy spacebux first to get them ... so I'm not entirely sure what it comes down to ... but anyway - they're 1200 spacebux each
 
Man, a day off and already so much to catch up.

How come I can't wishlist certain stuff? Happened with SR3 Season Pass as well.
I logged off/in steam, closed browser even restarted pc. But still a no-go. Evrytime I click on "wishlist" I get this.
Man the sale hasn't end for me since the very first one. Whenever that was.
Oh hai mokoi! Haven't seen you in a while.
People who constantly change their avis make me overlook them -_-

Groupees Be Mine mystery game is Surgeon Simulator
....
....
yep
That's surprising. But 4$ and that's the only thing that interests me. Not worth it for me.
Still nice surprise.

I am incredibly amused by the fact that so far, every time I looked at the Steam broadcast page, the top stream was either anime or porn.
Boys be boys.

None of them show up for me. I think steam is now running a tight ship on broadcasting. Probably put a handful of people only on that front.

Oh crap oh crap oh crap oh crap! I actually went ahead and did it...
I ordered a new gaming PC!
4690K/GTX 970 and so forth
first time building a PC yikes
Congrats! Those are mighty fine specs. You'll do fine for quite some time.
You are actually building it yourself, not pre-built? I'm still torn on whether I should just go pre-built. Hm. The biggest reason is the heatpaste tbh.
-
Making headway on the new Standalone app, which is being written in C#.
Profile background? Check.
Pideons!
Supporter badge? Check.
Profile links? Check.
So it's not a skin but a real alternative to the steam client? Wow. Great work.
Can you already share a bit about performance improvements of your client?

No Man's Sky can't come soon enough.
It will even be a longer wait because of timed console shenanigans :(

But hey, there are crazy interesting alternatives already available on steam.

Check these out. While not being identical, there's more than enough to sooth you intergalactic desires.

I'll buy that shit at 39.99 if we get that beach party.
If I recall did the rewards only apply to steam purchases?
Can't remember how it went with RE6.

So fired up Dragon Age: Inquisition (yes I'm skiving this afternoon alright!) half expecting it to be a technical mess and the other half to be an abomination regards to keyboard and mouse control. I don't know if I'm from the planet zarg but it runs alright and kb&m controls are fine. Sure it's pretty brutal on the CPU front and at 2560x1440 I'm not getting much over 30fps in cutscenes and 40-50 in the field but clamping down the framerate to 32fps with RTSS (smoothest value I found) and using Adaptive Vsync at half refresh through NV Control Panel it's one of the smoother PC games at a lower framerates I've played this year.

Actually my main gripe is the large chunks of UI that are all over the screen, even more so when you go into tactical view. Maybe with a couple of camera tweaks that have a negative arc and adjustments to orientation you have the perfect free cam tool for screenshoting. You can get some decent results but 30% of the screen is take up with flashy prompts and text.

That whole store page is NSFW

Hahaha well you're give pretty fair warning if you have vids set to autoplay.
You have a good 3-5 seconds to bail after that ESRB Rating screen flashes up before DOA gets jiggy with it.
 
Oof.
$40 is a bit much, especially since I played DoA5 on the PS3.

The 3 month delay for online is REALLY STUPID as well. The people that actually preorder are going to forget they have the game by then.

the cutscenes in DAI are locked to 30, so it's not your rig having issues with that
