Does the Arkham Origin's season pass include all the DLC or is there something missing from it?

 

[Darkmakaimura]

Here it goes. Done by Arthea.

Can't afford to give away a game so I'm not eligible, but thank you anyhow.

Gonna get that Recettear at some point. Still hoping it drops to $5.00 again in the next few months.

A really swell game, I hope you can get it!

Gifting is region locked.
Steam Keys are not region locked.
Buying from Nuuvem is region locked.

The MG key you get from Nuuvem if you use a proxy/VPN (like Spotflux) is not region locked.

Yah it's confusing.

Hmm I just bought straight from nuuvem without any proxy. Went through fine.

 

[Turfster]

Haha, I bounced Bad Rats back to you, you can use it in your next "Russian Raffle."

Boo. That's not how you play the game.
You play, you pay the price =p


Also, I guess the universe doesn't want me to have AC4.
Figured I'd take advantage of the EU PSN deal, but turns out I'm 5 cents short.
Message received, universe.

 

[zkylon]

man uplay why do you do this to me

why can't you patch things on your own damnit

 

[Toki767]

Haha, I bounced Bad Rats back to you, you can use it in your next "Russian Raffle."

Next time I'm going to blacklist anyone who doesn't accept the game lol

 

[Intheflorsh]

It worked just fine, man. Thanks a bunch. I've always heard good things about this game but never got around to picking it up.

Oh good, the way GMG organizes keys isn't especially clear. Enjoy!

 

[SloaneRisette]

Anyone know if Blade Symphony is any decent?

Eyeing that and Risk of Rain currently so if anyone has any opinions on either game I would be really appreciative.

Question about them cards. Are booster packs given out when someone crafts a badge from the same game? Or any game?

 

[Dio Brando]

Dammit, that's the one I went for!

same. at least we choose the right one

Just played Blade Symphony for 25 minutes. Can watch my video of it here: http://www.twitch.tv/aestheticgolem/b/489030336

I like it! More than I was expecting too, in-fact. I finished the default tutorial, and played two matches online, one in Duel Mode, one in Free-For-All Mode. The game is in early access, but it actually is fairly fleshed out as it is now. The promise of future content is promising though.

The game has four classes, one with a slower 'Drunken' style of sword-fighting, one with a focus on speed (who I played), one with a focus on combos and linking attacks, and one who focused on being good at dodging, parrying, etc. Each class also has three different battle stances, that you switch between on the fly with the mouse wheel or number keys on the keyboard. Battle Stances change how you hold your sword, how you attack with it, and how you move.

Combat is open to play-style heavily (and I compliment their balance and allowance for different play styles for what I played), but you can roll around to dodge, parry attacks, strike from different angles, charge attacks, pull together moves for combos, or even go classic samurai style and run at each other and swing your sword at the other last minute... Or jump around or whatever. The controls are simple, but have a lot of depth to them. You can see a 'sword angle' that tell you how you are going to swing your sword, based on your current movement (of keyboard and mouse), battle stance, and the like.

Online netcode seemed good, and it has plenty of people playing right now. The two modes I played were Duel and Free-For-All. In Duel, you spectate other players (either with player camera or free camera) between several different matches happening at once (there were three different matches happening in the server I was in I could freely switch between to watch). You que yourself up and get into a 'line' to fight who is the current 'king' of an arena. If you dethrone the king, you then will fight each person in line until you lose. One on one, pretty interesting.

Free-For-All puts you in a large hub-like area, with somewhere between 8-32 other people. You all can just attack each other freely, or go into standby mode to just watch others fight, or challenge someone to a duel for a one-on-one match where the other players become silhouettes and you two can only see and attack the other. This mode interests me, its also fun how the area is pretty big and has some good fun just exploring and multiple possible battle arenas.

I would say if you're intrigued, go for it for $3.

 

[dinopoke]

No they're not

Are you sure? There's only one universal sub/app for it in the database. Doesn't seem to be any region locking other then not being able to cross region gift through steam itself.

Gifting is region locked.
Steam Keys are not region locked.
Buying from Nuuvem is region locked.

The MG key you get from Nuuvem if you use a proxy/VPN (like Spotflux) is not region locked.

Yah it's confusing.

Whoops, it looks like I got my information wrong. >_> Looks like I'll be getting it from Nuuvem. Thanks guys!

 

[Sarcasm]

Is there a GAF group for Risk of Rain?

 

[Shurayuki]

Hmm I just bought straight from nuuvem without any proxy. Went through fine.

Aight, maybe it's not.
Boss Doggie had problems getting payment through and Salsa was talking about using VPN at that time so I might've thrown that together.

Edit:

you are not using the proxy to activate anything on steam

they key is not region locked. the vpn is to buy from nuuvem

It's here, not going crazy yet. So all the better if it usually works without proxy usually, if you have trouble try one?

 

[KarmaCow]

From my experience, yes.

I'm idling only one game at a time now.

Oh well, almost done the games I probably would never play any time soon anyway.

 

[Derrick01]

Squenix Account bullshit.

That's the worst kind of drm for me. I hate making useless accounts that I have to keep track of. I still haven't played tropico 4 because it requires an account.

 

[FreddieQuell]

I know I'm super LTTP, but I've been playing psychonauts today after I saw it on sale and bought it. It's pretty awesome. If anyone else out there hasn't played this yet check it out.

Always great for ppl to discover Psychonauts and enjoy it

 

[MoGamesXNA]

Doesn't ff7 on steam have really bad DRM?

Wait. Is there DRM on top of the Steam DRM?

 

[JaseC]

You need to set up a Squeenix account if you haven't already. That's it.

 

[graywolf323]

anyone doing a Verdun 4-pack?

 

[JaseC]

anyone doing a Verdun 4-pack?

I'm waiting for my trader guy to come back online. I should be able to get one for $7 (or maybe $6.50).

 

[jshackles]

One time account sign up / login. After that every time you launch the game you'll automatically be signed in.

 

[apieceofstrange]

Sorry if it's already been addressed, but is the Far Cry 3 Deluxe Edition worth the extra 2.50 if I'm only interested in the single player experience?

 

[Toki767]

Since only 1 out of the 4 people who got Bad Rats actually played fair and accepted it, I went ahead and gifted bkw a game on the house. Hope he enjoys it.

Next time I hope more people are better sports about it.

 

[Tesseract]

what if gabe is here

yo dawg gimme one of them rats.

 

[JaseC]

I'd say the Monkey Business missions are worth playing through for $2.50, though they're nothing particularly special. The other bonus missions are a bore.

 

[BennyBlanco]

what if gabe is here

just a slob like one of us

 

[Toki767]

[Ogedai_Khan]

Ubisoft, I'm not buying anything on uplay so might as well put these on a 75% deal on steam.

Spoiler

Please?

That's... disappointing.
I mean, you're gambling for a free game of your choice, so if you lose, be a man and take your loss. I would have.

 

[Link Man]

Voted Bulletstorm, hope that's what you guys wanted.

The manliest man I know finished the game after I gifted it to him.

 

[luiztfc]

What are the current flash deals? I've got Blade Symphony, Verdun and Payday 2, but I'm missing the other one (probably due to regional bullshit).

 

[Madrugador]

Just finished Minerva's Den. I liked it a lot, maybe more than the main game. So glad 2K gave it for free.

Also, this is how my rare achievement showcase looks now :lol

 

[Gamerloid]

Can't help myself. Going to be picking up the eXceed Complete Pack for $4.99. I need my bullet hell fix.

The Secret World, an MMORPG

The Secret World.

 

[Deleted member 17706]

I gotta say that I'm certainly not a fan of Early Access games being featured in sales like this.

 

[Silky]

it's so fucking fun to swing in Bionic Commando

 

[smr00]

That's the worst kind of drm for me. I hate making useless accounts that I have to keep track of. I still haven't played tropico 4 because it requires an account.

1. Make bullshit gmail for bullshit accounts.
2. Use the same username, password and DOB on all bullshit accounts

The most common problem i hear from people is they don't remember the DOB or security question.. Just use your fucking DOB and pick a security question you would know. It's not like them having your actual DOB is going to cause your identity to get stolen.

 

[Stumpokapow]

I see the Secret World is 9.99

I have a few questions
- If I pay $9.99 for The Secret World, how much more money will I need to pay later to be able to check out all the content? How much DLC / how many expansions are there? What does massive edition actually include?

- Can I play this as though it is not an MMO? Can I play the main story from beginning to end by myself without associating with anyone else or needing to work together?

- Is the game good?
