I haven't been able to play it since release. I gave the developers a month to fix their product, and it still has game-breaking bugs. I'm done trying restarting, downloading saved games, etc trying to get this piece of crap to run properly. I've played alpha builds that were more stable than X-Rebirth.
Yeah, I already saw that... But I didn't see the Gift box to the right of Steam redemption when I purchased something earlier. Which made me think there was a different method now that games link directly to the account you're using for Humble.

I got Papers, Please yesterday and I'm glad I did. Great spot the difference game.
Nope. 3 and Revelations were only 25% off during the Winter Sales of their respective release years so it would be very surprising if Ubi opted for a discount greater than 42%.

Have an extra #10, looking for 3, 6, 7, 8.

Amazon is currently selling Sword of The Stars The Pit Gold Edition for $1.74. http://www.amazon.com/Sword-Stars-Online-Game-Code/dp/B00H7M43GG/
UnEpic is great, I guess the only reason its in Early Access is because of the multi player being worked on. The devs say the single player part is 100% done. I put hours and hours into it when it was available via the Desura client.
My only mild negative thought on the game was the swearing, I didn't think it fitted very well with the gameplay. But that's just me, the actual game itself is really good and fully playable/enjoyable. I think there is a age restricted mode which will protect my poor virginal eyes.
I bought the swearing the game contains up in the Indie thread in the summer and according to people that know this stuff (Spanish folks
) its because it's directly translated from the rather colourful Spanish. Which I guess is why I see people in here saying play it in Spanish it's hilarious.Anyway, buying it now is a great idea and the only downside I can see is that it might make you think other Early Access games are all the poorer after playing UnEpic

not worth the money.
Valve gets an F ranking with the BBB because the BBB only exists for people to call and bitch about stuff.
But if you want to talk about WalMarts, lately Amazon's customer service has been downright embarrassing.
I think you're absolutely right. The "no bosses" thing is nice and all for the creativity side, but every sale has price errors and support takes a week because everybody just wants to work on Ricochet 2.

Yeah. Easily one of my favorite games of this entire year, mostly because there is a lot of grey area on the morality of what you do, at least, the first time you play.
I finally purchased Dark Souls having watched a hell of a lot of Jeff Green's stream. I'm having major problems getting it to recognise my password for whatever reason though (it is correct, I can login to my hotmail account). Grabbing another GFWL game to see if its just Dark Souls playing up.

Cool, thanks. It says it is the Steam version but I'm guessing it still makes you through some form of U-Play authentication?

I picked up SOTS: The Pit a few days back and after playing it a few times, I'm enjoying it a lot, especially since it works well with a controller and on my HDTV.
Anyways, can anyone give me some tips on how to make some progress in this game? I feel like I pretty much tap out on level nine or ten with either low health or ammo, even when I'm trying to knife most easy guys and avoid using medkits until way later. Will finding more recipes or weapons plans help my later runs? I just wonder how one gets better at this game since nothing really carries over as far as I can tell. Any strategy advice would be appreciated!

No prob! Enjoy!
Yeah, the Steam version launches an individualised instance of Uplay that basically acts as a launcher for the game proper.

We need an equally vicious Dark Souls type gif that encapsulates the heartbreak of GFWL.

The terms of service for all of these digital services is literally just words that say "fuck off".
If only.
Do you have your Microsoft accounts (hotmail, outlook, XBL, etc) set to have a two-step verification? Cause they made me do all this shit where I have to use uniquely generated passwords to login to both my 360 and GFWL. I literally just did this again yesterday when I installed Fallout 3 GOTY.
can't connect to steam
Me too. Came here to see if anyone else was having problems logging in.
You realize the BBB is a scam right? You can pay money to have an A ranking. If you use BBB to rank how a corporation is you are truly ignorant. Not to mention that Steam rarely if ever gives out refunds. You are lucky if they give a one time refund - if you used that up, well you are shit out of luck.
I'm not saying Steam is in the right with how they handle customer-service, but you can't just use BBB and a strict refund policy that Steam is known for.
X-Rebirth is terrible, it has been known for a long time now. When did you buy it?

Valve has an 'F' because they literally do not care about resolving customer complaints. From what I've seen, an 'F' is absolutely valid.
With my attempts to get an X-Rebirth refund, what makes it especially maddening, is that they have given refunds arbitrarily to some people but not others. Why, I don't know. The Steam forums have "how to get a refund" guides, but none of the tactics seem to have worked for me. I also used the word "shit" and "bullshit" in my last post to them about 15 minutes ago, so I don't see things getting better for me in the short or long term. I am super, super pissed.
Also:
Amazon has an A+ with the BBB. I'm sorry you had a bad experience, but it's not the usual.
I had it preordered. I knew it was broken at release but decided to give the devs a month to fix it. It's still broken and there's no end in sight.Smash88 said:
Valve will always refund pre-orders as keys aren't tied to your account until the game has unlocked. For refunds post-release you're paddling up shit creek unless you're joined in unison by many others (e.g. The War Z) or Valve's legally obligated to offer a refund in accordance with the law of your territory.
Like I said in my post, when I was at the Steam key redemption page, the Gift box was not there for me to click on.
Edit: could very well be that I am simply overlooking something simple. Should I log out before purchasing? Because the only thing I can do upon purchasing games is redeem them to my Steam account when I am logged in to Humble.
For good reason too. Amazon is king.
Yup, but this doesn't seem to be a pre-order case. I was wondering whether to address that.
And territory laws do apply. So if you are in Europe, you have a better chance than in North America.
The little package icon is still there for me for things I haven't generated a gift link for yet. Once you click it, the center box changes into a "Give this link to a friend" and the package icon disappears.Anyone? I want to give people free games.

Huge backlog, so I have just bought Dead Space 2 for the wife and Bastion for myself.
She loved the first one on the PS3 but I had to buy a special controller with a mouse. I bought Dead Space 2 on the PS3 but the shit controller died quickly. My laptop can handle Dead Space 2 so I thought it was better to buy it on PC, got it at $5 on a flash sale, runs great at high settings.

Mirror's Edge worked, thanks!
Interesting... Were you logged into your Humble account when you saw the Gift icon? I'm thinking because I was logged in, it wasn't showing up for me. Ugh.

If i wanted to make a trade for a game on sale on steam (1 game for 1 or two of mine), do I go to this thread, or is the the buy/sell/trade thread a better place?
edit: might have answered my own question here, but B/S/T seems a little intimidating for me

It's not coming to Steam because of MS. Halo 1 and Halo 2 are also PC ready, but not on Steam.

I was. I don't quite know what to tell you.
Is not coming to steam as far as I know and you can always play a GFWL if you use an offline profile.
