Umm, can somebody add me on steam and do a useless trade with me so I can get one of the achievements? Like, a spiral knights item for a spiral knights item or something. I'm either V_Ben or sionwynz, I can never remember which works... Pretty please?

 

[Prophet Steve]

All the soundtracks i've seen on Steam act like DLC. You need the base game. Just search for "soundtrack" and check out some of the results.

With Bastion it seems possible, but it places the music in the game folder, so maybe it just creates a game folder solely for the music.

Sure, adding you now

 

[Pirabear]

WTF, are they brothers or something?

I've lost count on how many times this confused me.

 

[Prophet Steve]

Any ideas on what I can get as well? Contemplating Batman: Arkham City and Dues Ex: HR...

They are both pretty darn good.

 

[Smithy C]

This seems like a good place to ask. Just bought Bastion with the soundtrack, but how do you actually download the soundtrack and put it in iTunes or something?

 

[V_Ben]

Sure, adding you now

You're a golden glittering god, thank you very much!

 

[Ikuu]

Any of the Civ 5 DLC worth getting?

Oh, it's in your Bastion folder, do whatever you want with it.

 

[Sanic]

Was a safe sale for me, if only because I purchased a great deal of stuff during previous sales in the year.

Dead Island 4 pack
The Oddboxx
Dungeons of Dredmor DLC
Train Simulator 2012

Received several games through the Great Gift Pile as well. Overall a good time.

Not sure what I'm doing wrong with the Sanctum achievement; I downloaded the Christmas map DLC, chose single player > Christmas map > standard game. But none of the enemies are wearing santa hats, which are supposed to indicate that they'll drop presents. Do I need to play in another game type?

Not all the enemies wear Santa hats. Only occasionally will an enemy be wearing one. Also apparently you can shoot Santa out of the sky.

If I remember correctly, it looks like that's all correct. Drops are somewhat rare, with usually just one hat wearing enemy spawning per wave, sometimes none.

Maybe try to change your computer date back to December?

 

[PaulLFC]

Ah okay, thanks! Played through the first 3 waves or so and didn't see any hat-wearing enemies, but I'll just keep playing and see what happens.

That's what I did. Took maybe ten minutes to get enough present drops from the hat wearing baddies. That ten minutes also includes shooting down Santa in his sleigh which netted about 5 presents.

[X05]

Bought The Following:

Already Beat:
Deus Ex Human Revolution Missing Link
Deus Ex Human Revolution - Favorite game of the year.
Renegade Ops + DLC
Hard Reset (RoW)

Working On:
E.Y.E.: Divine Cybermancy

I bought EYE based on the awesome, action packed trailers. I'm only 2 hours in but I think those trailers are a little deceiving. Graphics/art is good, Weapons feel great, movement feels great, but the rest of the game is a mess. The story is impossible to follow and the AI is horrible. I feel like this game would be awesome as a competitive shooter but as a singleplayer experience, it doesn't seem all that great. It was only 2.50 on sale so I'm not too disappointed.

go to the Batman AC steam forums they should be able to help you out.

I had the same problem with my retail copy and they sorted it out for me.

Valve is Pacific Time, so western.

Still a prize pool, or one for next week/whenever the next one is on.

 

[aktham]

Hey GAF

What is GAF's opinion on Magicka? Should I buy the complete package or just the core game?

Also, what about Bastion?

I'll be playing both on a laptop btw.

 

[Madrugador]

Thanks man! Happy new year btw!

AC and ACII don't have any kind of weird DRM, right?

Holy shit, FEAR 3 for $8 on GreenManGaming? Wow..

I bought the package, mainly for the achievement which requires DLC. It's a pretty demanding game on my old computer but I like it.

 

[iNvid02]

no it was patched out

 

[KarmaCow]

AC and ACII don't have any kind of weird DRM, right?

You still need to be online to start the game and I think saves are still tied to Ubisoft's client. The game crashed on me and I lost all my progress since I started that session because of that.

Might as well get the complete pack as it's not much more than getting the two DLCs that count (Vietnam and Stars, if I recall).

Try the demo if there is one, apparently the game is notorious for not working on integrated graphics cards from laptops.

Magicka is awesome, especially in four-player co-op, though it's still very good in single-player. Can be played with a pad, though most prefer keyboard & mouse for speed of input. However, though they may not look it, the graphics are quite demanding, and I believe the game might not work with integrated chipsets as a result (could someone confirm?), so playing it on a laptop is not ideal.

And yeah, get the full pack. You really want the Vietnam and The Stars Are Left expansion packs, but there's quite a few cool gadgets and cosmetic items among the rest of the DLC, and you won't be paying much more for them if you don't already own the game.

I dunno about Bastion, what little I've played of it was nicely presented, but struck me as limited and slightly boring. The narration is nice, though.

 

[masterkajo]

Do I need the DLC for Magicka to get the achievement? And if so what DLC?
I just got a vanilla copy of Magicka in a trade.

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

As long as someone sends him a DOTA2 invite i'm happy. I've being trying to find a second one for ages.

Legend is a Firefighter.

EDIT: Holy shit! /bow /bow /bow

Now he's just doing it to screw with the thread.

I did it with vanilla. It just takes a little bit more I think.

Vanilla Magicka works.
Just do the challenge in The Glades.

It works barely on my HP running a built in Radeon HD 4200.

It says on wiki you don't but it does make it easier if you have The Stars Are Left DLC.
