STEAM | December II 2014 - A thread for people who don't like sale side posters.

Question. A noobish one at it as well
If you delete Borderlands 2 GOTY (and any other DLC you purchased) - do you lose any of the DLC (that you have to buy them again) or do you lose those keys, or anything?
I know there's a certain number of times you can download the DLC for BL1 GOTY....or am I wrong..?
When it comes to Steam purchases, you'll only lose content if there was a payment processing error or the publisher revokes the keys. There was also that time Squeenix removed Order of War: Challenge from user libraries because it became functionally useless after the servers were shut down, but even that was partially reversed by Valve since the move left some people without a game they'd specifically paid for (those who obtained it as part of Order of War vanilla weren't so lucky, unfortunately).

guys help me out, whats the best 970? to many versions to know which one is good and which is bad and I know jack shit about this stuff.
ASUS, MSI (the "gaming" variant specifically) or Gigabyte.

Asus Strix or MSI Gaming. There's a huuuuge thread in Gaming, I suggest reading that.

Oh ok ;o
Well when I meant by keys, I meant to say the Golden Keys to open the rare chests XD.
Oh ok, but backing them up (the games that do have limitations) rather than deleting them prevents that right?

The community manager for DRAGON THE GAME just added me on Steam. Believe.

How does it feel to be so close to legend?
Kurt Russell

Me too, and Ozium (I can understand adding Ozium)
He probably wants to spread DRAGON THE DREAM
Ah. I assume they're tied to your save, and the game supports Steam Cloud so you'd have to be particularly unlucky to lose them.
The EVGA version is actually poorly designed, that is why it is not recommended.

The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct is back. No Ice Age or Family Guy, though.

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.
Does Steam show you as "in-game"?
Also could be this. Some games take like 8 hours to drop all their cards, but 2 hours each does seem a little excessive.

Oh no, should've sold or traded my copies for unimaginable profits immediately.
Hm, this (unfortunately only German) review reported serious coil whine problems with the Palit and a user review I found somewhere else claimed he had not only whine but also some kind of crackle (but I guess you can have bad luck with any card): http://www.computerbase.de/2014-10/nvidia-geforce-gtx-970-test-roundup-vergleich/4/

No. I recall some infamous reviews. Like, PC Gamer gave it a 99 or 9.9 (what system do they use again?) I think saying it had the best RPG combat ever conceived?

hah. you made it now ninja. you big now.
today com.man., tomorrow brunch with gabe!
eh... can't say this makes me happy
was hoping to make my steamwallet a bit bigger with my copies -_-
Define best? If it's performance then a Galax Hall of Fame wipes the floor with pretty much any variant as they're binned and have stupidly high factory overclocks. If you want price then Palit are a decent OEM with slightly lower prices than most. Cooling performance then a ASUS STIX has a semi passive cooler which doesn't spin the fans ups when at a low temperature but kicks in when needed and has great thermals. MSI's Gaming and Gigabyte's G1 sit in the middle of all those. Of course if you a raving slobbering fanboy like me you'd buy nothing but EVGA GPUs.
As i've said many, many time before you can ask 10 people and they can recommend 10 completely different GPU's. Best thing to do is go with a manufacturer you trust and have a good experience with in the past (for returns and build quality and such) and most importantly go read a lot of reviews AND user impression from the more well adjusted posters at a tech or PC site you trust.

yeah, i read another review mention it but they wrote it is definitely not much and gets lost under normal use in a closed case.
this didn't make it sound bad
http://hexus.net/tech/reviews/graphics/75205-palit-geforce-gtx-970-jetstream/?page=11
i also read another review where multiple vendors' 970 got tested and palit came out very good. but can't find article :/

by best i mean its not total shit, but not really expensive either. also it can't have that coil whining thing. I looked it up and my god that will get annoying extremely fast. my current graphics card is EVGA actually. its a gtx 640ti, or something like that, I forget. maybe i should get another EVGA, it hasn't given me any problems in the 3 years that I've owned it.
edit: oh god, theres like 4 versions of it tho.

There should be a steam-idle.exe file in the same directory as Idle Master. Make sure it's there - if not, download it from the Github page. If it is there, make sure you're launching Idle Master as an administrator if your using Windows Vista or higher.
Some anti-virus programs have been known to delete the steam-idle.exe application based on it's "reputation score". It's not that it contains a virus, just that it's not been widely used.

Okay I ran it as administrator and I get this little pop-up image of the game I'm currently idling. Already have the steam-idle.exe, though it doesn't seem to do anything when I run it.
My Steam status still just shows as "currently-online".
EDIT: Oops I'm a goof, I forgot to reload my Steam profile.
Definitely showing up as in-game.
Thanks j.

So why the fuck is this so acclaimed, especially with so many other great RPGs this year?

A duplicate from HP_Wuvcraft's RPG bundle (thx!).

I've played M&M X and TitS this year, still have Banner Saga and Divinity:OS to play, not to mention games like Dark Souls, Dragon Age: Origins, Baldur's Gate or Grimrock games. Or those Steam RPGMaker titles, which are quite often good, bite-sized fun.
I'm not starved for RPGs, is what I'm saying. Especially Origin exclusives. :\
same reason skyrim won goty everywhere in 2011 over games like dark souls and deus ex hr, reviewers really like teh skyrim formula

hear a lot of good things about spelunky. 2,50. hm.
voted for bully.
sweet! always love having cyberpunk themed wallpapers.
would love having that in bigger size.
reminds me of berserk and cloud. neat.
it was really fun and made me curious what's next. thanks for doing thisIt's the eight and final night of Hanukkah, which mean's it's time for another giveaway. Blitzhex won Half-Minute Hero: The Second Coming yesterday but did not choice a game for today's giveaway. That's why thing's are going a bit different today. Lets go out with a bang:
....aaaand that's about it. I'm a bit over budget, but what the hell.
I've had a lot of fun creating this ModBot streak, I must say.
It also made me look at some games I had no knowledge of before, like The Deer God.
Anyhow, I hope people enjoyed the little giveaway "twist" and the people who won something will have a lot of fun with their games. Happy holiday's!
gonna go for banished. it's not a good game guys, don't enter >_>
hope to see you here after sale more!

A little off topic, but, why did GOG remove Painkiller Black Edition? Getting a 404 error.
A few points to note about EVGA's ACX 970's is that one of them had a bit of an issue where the heatsink didn't make full contact with the GPU die so cooling performance wasn't optimal and the newer ones need a bit of tinkering with fan speeds if you want to keep noise down as they're set a bit higher in the BIOS but when doing that cooling performance does drop off as well. They do a reference model with the Titan cooler but only one retailer in the whole bloody world sells that and that's over here in the UK. Don't know what their other blower type cooler performs like but it's a bit on the ugly side.
Also coil whine is a lottery, especially with GPU's packing more and more VRM's and caps on their boards these days. It's become a bit of a blanket term for any noise coming out of a PC but it's by no means a new thing.
Working on 2015 thread from scratch, this means finally sorting out that FAQ and other sections, right now I am working on the main titles and graphics.
Currently I decided to get rid of the stupid thread icons, title reflects colour scheme of Steam now, got rid STEAM and just have the logo, no more transparent lines on pictures.

Onimusha 3 got pulled.
e: still here https://gamesrepublic.com/game/action,onimusha-3-demon-siege,749.html but much more expensive than the 80% off price it used to have on steam during this sale

yeah, i went to metacritic and i was surprised to see an 82 metascore
i guess my memory of it is distorted from neogaf absolutely destroying it from every possible angle lol
i mean i'm not trying to say anything bad about reviewers, they clearly favor that kind of rpgs and that's their choice. i'm sure most of the people that read their sites agree with them, so sounds like they're doing right by their audiences
get it, spelunky's great
like super hexagon or dark souls or vvvvvv or whatever, it's one of those games you die and you die and you die but each time you get one step further and it feels so satisfying when all those steps amount to a new area or a boss or a secret
it's fantastic
i liked the lines ;_;Working on 2015 thread from scratch, this means finally sorting out that FAQ and other sections, right now I am working on the main titles and graphics.

Shit that was on the to-do list for clean up at the end for this sale. I know it is a shit port but still.
Why is it I always want something when it becomes unobtainable. I know it's not the best PC port in the world but I'm eyeing up the £16.99 deal at Games Republic for some bonkers reason.
