STEAM | December 2014 - Read OP for winter sale questions
- Thread starter MRORANGE
- Start date
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.
Oh wow, these games will seriously keep me busy until No Man's Sky. Thanks for the recommendations.
So there's this Early Access game called StarMade. From the description and the video, it kinda sounds like EVE: Online meets Minecraft and it looks really pretty. And apparently the demo is the "full game free to play to try out without restrictions."
I'm downloading the demo now; it's only 208.9 MB.

Ughhh, DF-9 should be on the 1$ tier, guess Double fine needs more money for not working on the game.
Didn't know it had been posted. Only found out myself and well, I couldn't help but share with you guys xDWelcome to three months ago.
But yeah, I should had figured someone else had beaten me to the punch.
lmao, Spacebase DF-9
It's an MMO first so nothankyou.jpg. Not with my pings anyway.

In for Tier 2. Gotta get that Car Mechanic Simulator!
I might be able to coordinate a DOA5 thing for people with Shadownet.
Basically me + 4 people
The 4 people send me 12$ to my Paypal.
I buy 3 paypal 20$ Steam code (What are those? anyone can link me up what those are?)
My Paypal is currently nearly empty, so at soonest I'd have the funds tonight after I inject some monies to it.
If you trust me and Shadownet enough, please state your interest. I will update this post with the slots
#1 Annubis
#2 Finishoff
#3 ?
#4 ?
#5 ?
EDIT: Shadownet's contact is currently restricted from buying. We'd need to wait until that lifts.

That's pure trolling, isn't it?

my options are a bit more limited because i went with a small form factor for my PC but i wouldn't change that for the world. Also, im terrified of water cooling because i dont trust myself to install it well enough for it to not ruin my equipment. I always feel lucky when my pc's work after i assemble them hah
Maybe, I was doing one for the previous thread that now vanished into the ether
I sometime wonders if they just use a roulette wheel to pick the games for the BTA and up tiers.

I have such bum luck with hard drives that I should probably have the same level of hesitance, haha. Knowing my luck, the pipes would eventually burst and ruin everything.
How did you get it for 15? Russian steam i guess?

Don't worry... if you bend the pins in your motherboard's CPU socket, you can always bend them back... I mean, if I can do it, you can do it too, right?
You'd be surprised...
Lol, new promo from Indiegala:
Spend more than 20 eur or 25$ in a single order and you can grab Lifeless Planet as bonus!
Choose between more than 150 games ( 50 on discount! ) to get your reward!
Yes yes. Let me spend over $20 so I can get a game that was bundled and has mixed reviews! Thank you, based Indiegala.
Now if they'd only hurry the fuck up and put up their Kartopfelmensch keys, that'd be a real win.
Funny enough, it was installing my CPU heatsink (aftermarket) and being inexperienced that lead to the previously mentioned bent pins. The bent pins originally only affected the Channel A memory banks as far as I could tell, but now that I've repaired them, I'm up @ 16gb and everything is running smooth as butter.
Pm KiDdYoNe.
Yeah, but it's ~$11.60 in Russia, so $15 is quite the mark-up. You'll have no trouble finding someone selling it for $12 (just look up several posts above, in fact).

For future reference if you need a hammer to install your CPU or heatsink you are doing it wrong.

Can someone explain to me the whole Double Fine Spacebase DF-9/Hack 'n' Slash fiasco?
I never paid much attention to Spacebase DF-9, as it didn't seem to be my kind of game... but I did buy Hack 'n' Slash at one point and was then gifted Spacebase-DF9 after whatever went down...
But I see a lot of hate for DF-9 now and I'm wondering what I missed?

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
They promised a lot more than they delivered.

Double Fine promised more for Spacebase DF-9 and, if I understood correctly, they "finished" the game before they could finish what they promised.
Check out the trailer. The flying looks really cool.
Can I take over outposts and skin animals in this game?
Thanks will try to pm him.
wow you guys move fast. Yeah saw something about paypalling but sadly i don't have any paypal or else i would love to go in on that offer.

The avatar/rings look out of place =/
I couldn't find it but does it have a first person mode?

As far as I know they promised a lot of stuff, they did only like 25% of the stuff and released the game screwing all the kickstarter backers who bought the game for the promised features.

Spacebase DF-9 started off with a very robust list of potential features that were promised, outlined in a very detailed roadmap. Most of it was with the caveat that they had the time and money to implement said features. The game didn't sell very well and, after a long stagnation, development suddenly came to a halt. Most players feel the game is just incomplete, ignoring the list of things that did or didn't get added in. As the project lead stated though, it was all about the investment and DF just wasn't making it. The players certainly lost on that one.
As compensation, DF-9 owners were given a free copy of Hack 'n Slash and vice versa. I believe that only applied to people who purchased it beforehand, and not after the offer.
There was no Kickstarter for DF-9, it was solely funded off of Early Access sales. The project was sailing on fumes from the get-go.
Already? the game isn't even out yet.
This girl is different from the other one before right? who is this one?
Hehehehehehehehehehe
Also regards to CPU heatsinks, if you're really panicky go grab a couple of bottles of TIM cleaner, surface purifier and some coffee filters so you can start from scratch. Or go grab a AIO watercooler and then have the fear you might be one of the unlucky ones where it leaks onto your GPU(s) and into your PSU. I can't stand the pump noise to be honest and heatsinks on their own are silent so just get decent fans.
Sorry I'm bored waiting for Windows to download the latest preview build and was faffing about with 2.35:1 resolutions again and lo and behold it's perfect in DA:I

I still want Anarchy Reigns. : (

Thanks for the heads-up on this! If it's half as good as it sounds, it'll be amazing. Downloading the demo now.

Still Life is a great adventure game, with a good story and mostly logical puzzles.
Varric put on weight since DA2 huh?
Is the Dwarf(?) on the right meant to look so wide, or is that a bit of a perspective thing or something that happens at wider aspect ratios? Looks awesome regardless

Scratches, if you dig atmospheric horror and ancient houses.
I hear Still Life is pretty good too, though I've never played either.
I'm saying that the Ultimate Edition may appear as pre-purchase option later, as we saw with Alien and Mordor.
I like this one better. *thumb up*
Hey, so apparently you can get flagged by Valve if you gift too much?
So according to this rumour, no PC version of RDR sequel.
Good I have a PS4 then.

He's fat! It's the right aspect ratio as it matches up with the seconds earlier 16:9 shot. I'm still tempted to grab a 21:9 monitor at some point if not just for the extra workspace but the price of the 3440x1440 LG ones are a touch high and I'll probably hold out for DisplayPort 1.3 support as that resolution is right on the upper limits of bandwidth capabilities of DP 1.2.

i hear you get shadow-banned, which is funny given who is wondering about it
Well, yes, because if you're "gifting too much" then you may very well be selling them for profit. We've seen region-specific sale helpers (i.e. people who help others buy games from certain regions during Steam's larger sale periods, such as the US and AU) inadvertently raise a red flag in the past.

GTA5 didn't have a PC version at first... Hope this is similar and they just don't want to announce to avoid console sales canibalization.
