I have 7/10 snow globes. I shouldn't expect more than that right? I mean, I will have to lure the rest of them from the marketplace, cause I will get repeated ones, right?

You'll get repeat cards (I ended up getting about four #7s myself) but that doesn't mean you can't trade the duplicates for the ones you need instead of having to spend actual money.

Go here and browse through the topics to see if you can't make a trade.

 

[eek5]

anyone have an extra snowglobe #5? I have an extra #4 and 5th one is all I need to complete the set ;_;

 

[Wookieomg]

I was.

Well hell. lol I'll see what I can do. Thanks for your help, sorry for cluttering up the thread with my issues everyone. :x

 

[Arthea]

Has anyone played Dust an Elysian tale? I've got like $10 in steam wallet and I'm considering picking it up. Any impressions? How long is it? I'm expecting a super metroidy hack slash that I can actually get all the way through before holiday break is up.

It's really a nice game, has adorable combat, gameplay is complex enough, and has place in my top 5 GOTY this year. I yet have to finish it, but what I played was surprisingly good.

Hah gratz. I murdered her like half a dozen times until she became queen for the first time. Long Live the Queen!

This is actually my favorite pick-up of the sale so far. Completely in love with the game.

My second time she won the war and died of poisoning immediately after... Damn chocolate, damn it!
Can't stop playing it (><)

 

[zychi]

sooooo many raffles <3

 

[TheTrain]

I got Anno 2070 & Wargame: Airland Battle both for 5key on Steamtrades...what a good day!

 

[rainking187]

I know there's way more games with cards now, but does anyone else miss how it seemed like there were tons of games having cards added to them during the summer sale?

 

[snack]

YAY

 

[OldAsUrSock]

Far Cry 3 should run better in DX9 compared to DX11, right?
I swear, can't get a decent framerate out of this game.

Overclock your gpu or upgrade.

 

[Dambrosi]

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.

You need the latest GFWL client. If you have an older version, uninstall it and install the new one. Login should work after that.

Don't forget to mod the game with DSFix, btw. The way Dark Souls was meant to be ported.

 

[JaseC]

Is there any chance of the original Gears of War ever coming to steam? or is that now unplayable since GFWL is dead?

A chance, sure, but it's impossible to quantify at this juncture, though for what it's worth Microsoft may be ditching GFWL from AoE Online and possibly also MS Flight. As for GFWL, it's not scheduled to die until the end of June.

 

[Ketch]

Thanks for the Dust recommends. And if it was made by a GAF'er then I won't even wait for it to be discounted further in a daily or flash deal... picking it up now.

 

[Asparagus]

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.

What a pain in the fucking arse, they could have at least said something in the bloody error message! Got an email sent to my Gmail account saying I've tried to connect to my account using my windows phone and need to set up an app password...

Anyway I've sorted it out now, thanks for the help mate, I really appreciate it!

 

[Caerith]

My second time she won the war and died of poisoning immediately after... Damn chocolate, damn it!
Can't stop playing it (><)

When the chocolates arrived on my winning playthrough, I watched check after check fail and thought "oh no." But then she made some kind of

Spoiler

court manners

check,

thought "It's really uppity of some merchant company I've never dealt with to be sending me gifts directly," and was put in a bad mood

and didn't feel like eating them.

 

[The_Monk]

I'm back fellow GAFfers, went for dinner and saw 47 Ronin in the Cinema. After paying, the couple before me left his card on the balcony. I rushed them with the card and manage to give back to them. They were happy so was I. Karma. Yay!

On topic, I see a lot of people playing Dark Souls for the first time, this is amazing. If there's anyone who lack hope in beating the game, then let me tell you all that I'm not a good player in most demanding games but I managed to finish Dark Souls. The feel of reward is amazing and I can safely say that, seeing those final credits rolling gave me the best satisfaction in a game for a long, long time. Also, amazing soundtrack.

I was having a wonky time with GFWL earlier (had issues with multiple games), solution for me was to log in to the GFWL marketplace client and then the games went back to working ok. It sounds like your issue is different though as it's just a problem with authentication? For me, GFWL showed that it wasn't recognizing an Internet connection.

haha no worries. I ended up finding someone with a #5 that needed a #4 immediately after I posted that by following honorless's link

It was kind of nice when cards were important enough to merit actual announcements and those announcements were reliable, yeah.
Now you get stuff like AVGN Adventures where the game was supposed to get cards in November, but said cards seem to have gone MIA. The same thing happened to Sequence, though after Feep pestered Valve they got on it.

I'd be happy with a weekly or even biweekly list of which games have gotten cards added post-release if they didn't launch with 'em, but...whatever. Steam Card Exchange works.

 

[MisterRoboto]

made the mistake of counting my backlog...51 games. I'm sure that's nothing compared to some of you guys but damn, thats like 1/3 of my games lol

 

[jshackles]

Only 51? You're doing pretty good.

Even by percentage (66% not in backlog) you're doing great.

 

[More_Badass]

This DSFix mod, is it hard to install/get working?

 

[nacimento]

How is Endless space?

gotta work on court manners, I worked on them, but obviously not enough

I like how even small differences in skills and choices make so many differences in events.

How is Endless space?

good, if you want Gal Civ, better play Gal Civ, but if you don't mind something little different and simpler, it's your game.

 

[Alo81]

This DSFix mod, is it hard to install/get working?

It's drag and drop, then you just read the ReadMe and edit the Ini file.

Every parameter of the INI file has an explanation of what the option does and a general recommendation.

 

[Hakkuei]

So marksel just finished Dustforce BLINDFOLDED in less than 5 hours... that's really fucking impressive.

 

[wilflare]

sure hope Steam have a more active DLC sale
I wanna cut down my wishlist

Gaf im trying to add my brother to my friend list and vice versa and de áre not getting any invite. Whats going on.

 

[Vamphuntr]

I swear the crafting is mocking me. I only want a dota item, any dota item. Why am I getting stuff for this War Thunder game .

 

[Cyberquake]

Add an extra zero to the right of that number (counting my collection as a whole, not just steam), and then we'll talk.

 

[SteveWinwood]

Only 51? You're doing pretty good.

I would kill for a backlog of 50.

I've got to be over 1000 at this point.

 

[Fuu]

Aaand done. The fully upgraded Galleon Mortar ended up being my favorite weapon, that thing is a beast in the 10 idols Who Knows Where challenges.

What a damn fine game this is, really hits all the right notes for me. I played the iOS port on the iPad some time ago and while it's a great port/adaptation it doesn't compare to the heights the original version of the game achieves.

 

[feel]

I try to avoid buying directly from Steam Store as much as possible because of their dreadful Customer Service. If something goes wrong you're simply fucked, or at the very least in for a huuuge hassle with the 17 hours later passive-aggresive non-resolving email replies going for an entire week until shit gets resolved against their will. Amazon and Humble bend over backwards for you and get things resolved satisfactory in minutes (in my experience) so I try to get most keys from them.

You're amazing, and it's also amazing that you managed to beat that game. I gave up twice, and the last time was probably for good.

I just suck at it.

You only currently suck. It's a game you get better the more you play.

You've gotta adapt to the situations the enemies put you in.

 

[Arthea]

Just noticed that none of achievements of my second playthrough of Queen registered, I wonder is it steam trying to die, or achievements are glitched?

 

[jshackles]

I would kill for a backlog of 50.

I've got to be over 1000 at this point.

I'm actually really glad that my backlog is as large as it is. It means if I'm feeling bored, I can fire up a game I've never played before and play it for a while. And I could do that at least once a day, every day, for the next few years.

 

[BraXzy]

Has Gone Home been a flash yet? I'm wondering whether or not to buy it at its current price.

 

[Annubis]

I've got to be over 1000 at this point.

But then everything changed when the Fire Nation attacked

(sorry, that just feels like the right reply)

 

[Smash88]

Flash, Daily, and Community sales are the lowest it will go. The price you see on a Daily will be the same on a Flash or Community sale.

That's what I do, but that doesn't go well with finishing games. I had bad times before but with steam, it gotten even worse, I have 200 unfinished games most likely at this moment (><)

 

[VandalD]

It's a daily deal now. It won't go lower.

My problem with DLC is that on Steam it often ends up costing as much as a full game on sale and therefore I always pick a new game instead of the DLC I want...

 

[Volimar]

It'd be awesome if Elder Sign: Omens went on sale. Played the board game at a friend's and really liked it.

 

[Wookieomg]

Psh spoilers, others might not know not to

eat the chocolate

(if they get the choice, I didn't the first time)^^
Was my first death, it goes well with this being the christmas time I guess. And queendom seemed so close after winning the war..

Leading princesses into their death has never felt this good. Buy Long Live the Queen for 5$y'all. (Make it a flash at least Lord Gabe)
