I would definitely buy Ultra.
It's pretty amazing how far the game is considering they still claim they have another 1.5 to 2 years of development to go till 1.0.

That's a bold statement, where in the TOS does it say that?
The original DMC gave me some troubles, but it was so bad ass that I just adapted.
The first Resident Evil had pretty gruesome headshots and stomp moves. The hunters also decapitated you in full view. Not sure about the GC game, but I don't remember it being much different than the REmaster. It's been a long time since I've played that version however.
He's referring to:
But the SSA hasn't been updated to reflect the fact that Valve stopped "terminating" accounts about three years ago.

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.
Besiege is tempting.
That game looks great - if I wasn't literally swimming in 3/4 finished games at the moment I'd probably pick it up. I've got a few Gaben bux from selling cards lately, so once I'm done with Fable Anniversary, Dragon Quest 3, and Far Cry 4 I'll probably have to grab this.
By the time that happens the price may have risen.

Do we have any word on a timeframe for this? I'll probably be done with those three games by Saturday.

It does look good alright, here's a webm compilation if anyone's interested.

Can anyone link me to a good guide on how to activate keys with vpn? Will need it for revelations 2.
Nope. The price could rise anywhere from a second to infinity from now.
Connect to the VPN (FlyVPN has a variety of free servers located in a bunch of different countries) -> Restart Steam -> Activate key. Once it's been activated you can kill the VPN and then restart Steam again so you're in your proper region.

Lol, can't really compare shutting down a service/subscription to terminating (or rather restricting nowadays) single accounts for nothing.
Let's not pretend like using VPN is 100% safe at all times.
PunishedSnake have a point, they CAN restrict your accounts (not just revoke a game) on those grounds, regardless how tough they are on the rules at the moment.
They can not restrict your account just out of the blue for nothing.
Then, of course, they might never act on those breaches, that only time will tell.

Yeah I read this from their Early Access announcement:
And figured $7 wasn't so bad.
That's how I went into it last year, as well, after hearing all the bad things about it. Story-wise it was a wash (though admittedly I was curious to see where they'd go), but the combat was decent enough to keep me going over the really short campaign.

Hunters use to cut your head off in REmake if you were in the red. I know that was censored. Not a huge loss though. It was the same case with RE5 and the chain saw decaps being censored. Easier to make one game they can push everywhere rather than multiple versions with certain censoring.
Jawmuncher

I recall decaps were censored in Germany.
Guess since the PC version or whatever they used as a base was already there with that they kept it Seperate.
Does Germany even have RE4 Ultimate HD?
Looking it up I guess it got rated as a new game in Germany?
All I managed to do is 77 cents.
Don't ever activate something if you move to another country either, then. Hell, if you move to another country, you'd darn well better cover your arse by running Steam through a VPN to where-ever you came from, cause... You know, you might have regionlocked keys!
Thing is, they wouldn't sodding do this, atleast not retroactively as it'd hurt a lot of legitimate customers. The only way to really avoid hurting legitimate customers would be to revoking keys on a case-by-case basis, and that's NEVER going to happen with how lazy Valve is with all things support-esque.
And before you ask, no. Noone's stalking you, and you're not being watched. You're being paranoid.
Just kidding, I'm stalking you.
exactly
yea but you have to consider the season pass too, which won't get "much cheaper" any time soon, really
your other option is just buying the base game super cheap and then buy the season pass at whichever price it is
but good dlc is never really all that highly discounted
Can someone explain this to me?
War of the Human Tanks - ALTeR is currently displayed as #1 on popular new releases in the Steam client for me. However, when I go through the top sellers (all 25 pages of them), it never shows up. I can't believe that it's selling so little as to not appear there.
What's up? Did Valve change how these lists work?

Okay, sold on both counts.
I really hope the price doesn't increase till sometime after February, cause I'm still so broke that I don't have one dollar, and I really want this damn game.
Is anyone in need of services worth seven dollars?
I'll do it all. I'm quite limber, so I can bend in ways you've never tried!
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
I don't think Valve's actually explained how the tab works, but I'd guess that Popular New Releases is based on the number of Steam Community hub contribution views (threads, screenshots and so on). It replaced the standard New Releases tab, which simply ordered items by release date.
#1 on the popular new releases list means it's the most recent popular new release, it isn't an indication of sales volume. It not showing up on the list at all though seems like a glitch, we've seen it happen with other games as well.
I'd say the Ultra expansion is pretty mandatory, so you may as well just buy the Mega Bundle if you don't have any of it.

Wait, so you're saying if I logged into my Steam account from somewhere like... Japan let's say, I could have tons of games revoked on that basis, even if they're already on my account and were purchased / activated at home?
Jawmuncher
Member
is it really?
Yeah... I'm gonna go ahead and do the same. Hopefully I get some sodding cards worth more than .05 cents. Those are the woooorst. Not even worth the time spent selling them.
Not at all.
But if PunishedSnake's paranoia was factual, then it might be plausible.
This would, ofcourse, never happen either.
No. It's not against the TOS to use your Steam account while in a different country and in fact the entire reason Valve allows people to easily switch store regions using ?cc=** is so people can purchase items while outside the "home country" of their account.

The only thing I think has been changed is that Hunters don't decapitate you when they do their one-hit kill move. However, my theory is that's not an attempt at censorship, but because the version of the game they probably ported over was from the Japanese source of the game, the Japanese version of REmake never had decapitation.
Ok, my fault, it's actually on page 16. I could have sworn it wasn't on there at all before :/
If it really hadn't been on any of the first 26 pages I'd have been even more impressed with back catalog sales on Steam than I already am.

I bought the first one yesterday because the second looks interesting and it's fun. I like the semi-TB/semi-RT battles, it's a bit like FF-style ATB for a strategy game.

Thank you very much.
Yeah, I reread your question and realized that's what you were asking. It not showing up is probably a bug, if you search within Top Sellers it comes up, but that doesn't give an indication of position unfortunately. We've seen games disappear from the Top Sellers list before for no apparent reason. Just one of those things.

It's probably based on how many people look at the page, rather than how many people buy it or something. There are some newly-released games that never show up there.
I've only tried Ultra, but I'd recommend it over the base game. It adds some much-needed variation to the formula.
The other one sounds pretty good. I didn't even know they released a second expansion...
Jawmuncher

Hell yeah it is. Light visual novel elements with a fun strategy like gameplay. If you have it, it's worth trying out. Was one hell of a surprise when I played it last year. Easily my top 10 steam games.

When it comes to Besiege, the answer is always "Yes."
That or "Not at the moment."

Thanks. I was like, "damn, that's garbage." Also, that new Dissidia needs to make it's way to PC, Square Enix. Or else. :l
it's valve dude
i have it tho i'm not sure where i got it from, i think someone gifted it to me (in which case thanks, and sorry for not playing it yet!)
i still got to try 100% orange juice but no one ever invited me to a game T_T
so late lol
