Support NeoGAF

[Card Boy]

Wasn't too long ago where you could easily fetch skyrim or something for it.

Or 200 bucks a pop from the now permabanned Meeru.

 

[Togglesworlh]

Oh God that Anomaly tile is horrid. Why did they feel the need to put gaming site scores on there? No need to keep selling it. Anybody seeing that tile would have already bought the damn thing.

What?

Oh, in the game list. I was confused. Ignore me.

 

[StuBurns]

So what's up with Alice? Valve have no CD keys or the register thing is offline?

Anyone know? Reassure me GAFfers.

 

[Snuggles]

FINNALY managed to get a download started for Rock of Ages. Ukraine servers, they are the light.

I bought Modern Warfare 3 at about 3PM yesterday, the download didn't finish until around 10PM. Even on the Ukraine server I was getting lousy speeds. Typically a download of that size would take about 2 hours but Valve's servers are getting fucked in the butt right now.

Kind of how supply and demand work. I'd probably ask for something small in return for it if I was trying to trade it away. Like Bulletstorm for example. I'd even accept something like Rock of Ages. Its value is decaying pretty rapidly and its gonna be free to play in a month or two.

I bought it from Amazon, and they gave me a CD-key. It seems like you should get one, most EA games from the past couple years give you a cd-key that can be redeemed on Origin. Maybe the Steam version is different, though.

*ot* haven't seen that avatar in awhile

The steam version makes you register with a kind of cut-down Origin on first run.

I can't even play it on Steam though right now.

EDIT: I have to run Origin while I play it? Shouldn't have bought this.

 

[Jive Turkey]

Don't know why at this point they won't let us put custom fucking pictures on the grid. It pisses me off when there is just a little square there :/

Yeah that's awful too. Damn TF2 beta.

 

[elektrixx]

And to think, I was close to paying US$17.49 for Bulletstorm in Australia just now!

 

[Big Chungus]

Weird...yesterday I boughtt he Renegade Ops 4 pack, got 3 additonal copies with DLC to give to friends.

Then this morning I got another 3 copies of Renegade Ops, no DLC attached.

wtf?

 

[jediyoshi]

You don't. Lots of games you buy through Origin itself don't even need you running Origin to play 'em.

What a dipshit.

It can't be that hard to fix. Come on valve!

They probaly ran out of keys, according to the Steam forums other people have the same problem aswell.

Cool, I'm sure Steam will sort it out.

You're running EACoreServer in the background while playing.

 

[atomsk]

I swear the longer I play these F2P objective games, the more likely it's going to be coal.

Another 45 minutes of my life I'll never get back with Rusty Hearts

Really gotta wonder what kind of retention they're anticipating with these games (and of the users they retain, how many actually end up spending money)

 

[BobJustBob]

So for people who own Shattered Horizon: does the gameplay and bot support make up for the dying online community? Just got it from an achievement, though after viewing the server statistics I'm debating if its worth unpacking or not.

The bots are competent. I don't know how challenging they can be, because when I play I just want to float through space and walk around on asteroids. For free I'd say keep it.

 

[StuBurns]

You're running EACoreServer in the background while playing.

So I need to install that to play it or should it do it automatically?

 

[Turfster]

So I need to install that to play it or should it do it automatically?

It does it automatically. First time you run it, you also need to activate the cd key on an EADM/Origin account iirc (it's been a while).

From the store page:

EA ACCOUNT, REGISTRATION WITH ENCLOSED SINGLE-USE SERIAL CODE, INTERNET CONNECTION AND ACCEPTANCE OF END USER LICENSE AGREEMENT REQUIRED TO PLAY AND ACCESS BONUS CONTENT (IF ANY). SERIAL CODE IS NON-TRANSFERABLE ONCE USE

 

[StuBurns]

It does it automatically. First time you run it, you also need to activate the cd key on an EADM/Origin account iirc (it's been a while).

It's just fucked then yeah. I'll leave it a week then email Steam if it's still broke.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

What's the Costume Quest patch do?

 

[Card Boy]

I swear the longer I play these F2P objective games, the more likely it's going to be coal.

I don't bother with any achievements that forces me to install a game. I have only gotten 3 crappy coupons and 16 coal so far. No games.

I have probaly missed out on 7 achievements, but i can't be bothered to be honest wasting all the bandwitdth and time just for coal. This is why i thought the summer sale was better because you got guaranteed DLC for your games at 3 tickets each.

I'll be another UK guy wanting to get Bulletstorm for the US $4.99 price. If you're one of the guys listed in the at the front of the thread, please add me here or username mannenyuki!

Willing to send PayPal funds first, of course.

You enter the key into the GFWL interface in the game. Origin doesn't even let you redeem it to double dip.

 

[leng jai]

Thanks to a Gaffer I snagged Bulletstorm and Sonic. Finally this sale delivers.

 

[scitek]

Change your clock back a day and you'll get the achievement.

 

[Omikron]

Have so far crafted the ball which I already own and a 33% off skyrim voucher.

If anyone wants the voucher, chuck me a pm.

The... what? There's no GFWL involved in Alice =p

Happened to me too. So I guess its confirmed, that the extra copies with DLC were the error and not the one without it.

Ah. Brain melt, thought the Origin talk was on Bulletstorm lol

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Was wondering why I didn't get that one. Thanks!

 

[Vamphuntr]

Added the play on Christmas achievement... a bit late though.

 

[MrOogieBoogie]

Those of you who've played/beaten Bulletstorm, mind listing some quick pros/cons?

 

[Madrugador]

The new achievement is now working, just got it! YAY

You have to change the date of your PC to 25/12 though.

 

[xelios]

Alice taken by MNC. Done with gifting helping for now I'm kinda pooped.

 

[Demon Lizardman]

Gotta admit, the Witcher 1 sucked pretty bad. Boring combat and characters, and it just didn't intrigue me all. Why did I bother? Is the second one any better?

 

[dragonlife]

Those of you who've played/beaten Bulletstorm, mind listing some quick pros/cons?

Why not watch GT's review? It made me want it at this price, and I'm not even big on FPS games. I love that score system.

 

[Doomrider]

Thank you very much, Xelios, for putting up with me and helping with Bulletstorm (my 200th Steam game) =D

 

[BoobPhysics101]

Ok guys, here's what I have in my cart:

Rock of Ages
Anomaly
Sonic Generations

Should I just take Sonic out? I am thinking the game is going to keep dropping like a rock and will be $5 on Amazon soon.

Also, is Beat Hazard any good?

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

Bulletstorm is finally mine muahahaha.

Only two games bought in this sale for a grand total of $7.50. I am kind of proud...

 

[MNC]

Can someone from the US gift me Alice and Bulletstorm, it should be 12 something dollars.
Urgent, Alice is almost up! SteamID: MNC117! Help me please
