Has the game made millions due to this whole 'Bad Rats' thing? I don't really know much about it, but I'm curious if being terrible worked out for the devs.

I think the whole "gag gift" thing has paid dividends. Behind Bad Rats you have Secret of the Magic Crystals, which released in 2010 and has had a few pieces of DLC released this year (i.e. four years later and some change).

It was compensation for some Kickstarter game delay. Writer for that game was writer for Talos or something like that. So backers got coupon for 50% off Talos as compensation for waiting a bit more.

Ah. Nice of Croteam to sign off on that.

Grrr. Wish the Steam level 20 range required more XP to progress, really prefer the red/orangey red color and have several badges I'd like but don't want the circle to turn yellow.

(Crosspost, sorry) I'm looking to buy Europa Universalis IV as a belated Christmas gift.

It's £17 or so on Steam - anyone got a -75% off voucher or know were I can bargain for one?

Alternatively, it's £10 at GameKeysNow.com. Anyone have any experience with this site?

Much appreciated.

EDIT: Found it for £8 on the Paradox Store! No worries, sorry for the bother.

Color coordinated profiles are the best. If Zeliard leveled to blue it would be perfect.

Finished WolfieStein:TNO, it was a... really good shooter! Rather refreshing even. It doesn't bring anything new to the table but it's very well executed. Ending was kinda abrupt but there's a whole other campaign variation to go through together with tons of collectibles (My completion percentage was 51%).

If I have to nitpick something, maybe the "destructive environments with the laser" thing was kinda over sold, as most of the times you don't have the time to drill holes to shoot people through and running and gunning is more efficient anyway.

belated Merry Christmas steamgaf, I hope you are having a great time.
The good news - I'm back, the bad... I would like to know what I missed, like what deals were last two days, price mistakes, maybe unexpected bundles and such, also what have you all been up to? Or I shouldn't ask the last one? or any of it? (><)

When will Wolfenstein (2009) come back to Steam?

Wolf09 wasn't included in the sale of id as it was still in development under Acti's wing at the time, so Zenimax would have either buy it outright or come to an agreement with Acti regarding a sales revenue split, neither of which are likely to happen any time soon. What's even more annoying is that Enemy Territory: Quake Wars did go with id to Zenimax and yet Bethesda has made no effort to bring it back.

Good morning SteamGAF, bought Spartan Assault on a whim. I love Halo's world and atmosphere. Hope I'm in for something good.

Sooo... Rockstar said they would release the requirements for GTA V PC this week.
The week is almost over and still no word.

Guess I should have anticipated this.

It's not like R* to be tardy. :p

Forgive my noobness but since when can we upload stuff like this?

Since 4eva. Visit a game's community hub, click the "Artwork" tab and you'l see an "Upload your artwork" button.
 
Happy to finally see Dominions 4 on sale, since I read this:

http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2013/10/18/wot-i-think-dominions-4-single-player/

"When selecting a player character, how is it possible to choose between a fountain of blood that demands sacrifices, granting great and terrible powers to its priests in return, and a giant angry bull that is almost always on fire?"

"This is a game in which Zeus can punch Cthulhu in the face and an immortal lich king can reanimate his fallen bodyguard to create a dread army, more powerful than the mortal flesh that the enemy so foolishly flayed from moon-white bones."

This diary is also fantastic: http://www.pcgamer.com/part-one-one-rocks-fight-to-become-top-deity/

"It occurs to me that as the leader of a race of demonic ogres who practise death magic, I am almost certainly the bad guy in this scenario. Phrases like 'leader of the Lankan Demon Cult' should have clued me in, I admit. I'm not really into the bloodslave virgin capturing thing (I'll stick to raising the bodies of the deceased, thank you very much). Sadly, there seems to be no way of releasing my captives, unless I magically distil them into gold, or death gems. Is that worse? That seems worse."

My guess is that they forgot to put "s" in week :D So They meant to say "upcoming weeks" but community person forgot "s" so we got "upcoming week". IF they wanted to announce release for Sys Req they would say "next week".

Forget the requirements.

Lets just hope the game isn't delayed by another few months.. and then a few more. Before we know it, we'll get it in 2016.

PSA: Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris is 7.50 at GMG with 25HAPP-YXMASF-ROMGMG.
Kind of cheap for a newly released game so I thought I'd mention it.
Thanks! Great price for this game.

Edit: nvm, gonna hold it off until it gets a 75% discount after reading all those mixed reviews. Would have bitten if it was an improvement over the great first game.

Did anyone win Speevy's game last night? Cuz these flash sales are....woof.



solid haul there.

and Happy Birthday?

Someone did. I just did a thread catch-up with and saw it, though I sped through it so name of winner didn't stick in my mind. Wreckfest was the game I think.

Their PC releases always seem to handily shit on every other version so I'm always fine waiting if I'm guaranteed that result.
