I have to agree with everyone on the Edge of Tomorrow praise, loved it. Would such a concept work in a FPS? Sure most linear modern military shooters are like that... but I'm thinking that the game is designed around you dying and re-spawning multiple times and using that against the game.

You can do it, man. Most people only have to do one thesis in their lives, and then it's clear sailing. What's the subject? It's not Yoga, is it?

I'm getting terrible flashbacks to RE4's knife fight.

"I really like this game and want to buy it for 4 of my friends, but I can't, so now I'm not buying any copies. Thanks, Valve!"
Click to expand...

I'm not that extreme on the issue, but it makes buying games for multiple friends both more of a hassle than it should be (As you can only buy the game one copy at a time and Steam store isn't exactly fast) and more expensive. I just don't quite understand why if you have the money to drop for a four-pack, you can't buy a giftable four-pack if you own the game, but can buy a giftable four pack if you don't own the game.

Sometimes a friend will gift me a game, but I'll store it in my inventory because, "If I activate it, I won't be able to buy a four-pack, which I want to buy for this game."

I have a large group of friends I usually play with, around 20-30 people, games with four-packs that support more than four players can be a hassle, we have multiple group buyers so it's sometimes adverted, but it can just be a mild annoyance which becomes more evident when you buy so many games for friends.

Oh no, that wasn't sarcastic or anything, that was my reaction when that happened to me the first time.

Oh my. But it's just something I don't understand, some games will let you buy four-packs if you already own the game, but most of the time, no, and I'll never understand really why. If anything, I think allowing you to buy Four Packs of games you already own would be beneficial, as it would help promote you to buy more copies if you already own the game for friends, if you already know that you like the game, instead of only being able to buy a four-pack if you don't own the game and not sure if you like it yet.

Haha no, no Yoga.XD I'm doing a photography series with the subject of humans being animals and doing our best to lie about it to our selves. It's all done in a quite glossy fashion photography kind of way where the photos illustrate ideas I bring up in the text backed up by research. First deadline is tonight(it's almost one at night here now) and it's all chaos in the text.XD I'm hopeful though and thanks for the encouragement!:D

Yeah! The world has a primary set of events that flow but as you mess with them they procedurally change and you get closer and closer to your goal.

RE6 certainly has a lot of cinematics, though they look beautiful on the PC. I've been making my way through the Leon campaign and it's become much more enjoyable just using melee 90% of the time. Recently upgraded to Defense Lv. 2 so it should help with the damn skinless zombies that are a PITA.

SteamGAFers between Rio Bravo and Cabo de Hornos, here is a pretty Homeworld for you.

SteamGAFers who live anywhere else, I'm sorry but you all are as fucked as I was when I received the gift in the first place :p. If you don't live in one of the next countries, you won't be able to activate it due the region locks, so better don't enter the giveaway.

Here's a good tip to the Bloodclots (skinless zombies), either roll to the right or left when they leap at you (or if you get the skill for it, slide under them with a shotgun or something and blast them out of the air), and they are weak to fire, so incendiary grenades are useful against them.

I like the sound of that, thanks. I'm currently in Chapter 3 Catacombs, and this one in the beginning was giving me a bit of grief, so I did end up using my last incendiary on him.

They would if you frame it correctly, and if your thesis includes a component on sexuality. If it doesn't, definitely a harder sell. Universities haven't been known to shy away from such things before, if they're topical. :)

So I ignored my own advice and wandered into the Order review thread. Someone in there was talking about ISIS. Yes, that ISIS. GAF is a silly place sometimes.
