reposting for new page for glory. Cheddahz and I are looking for people to humilliate in Skullgirls while we gloat about our godhood. Cheddahz steam name is the same as his gaf name. You can find a link to my steam profile on my gaf profile. Add us puny humans!
 
yo Steamsissies, what you say about becoming a real man and duke it out on Skullgirls. Cheddahz and I are looking for people to humilliate and put them through the mud to teach them how to be real-manly-men while we trip on our own testosterone. Cheddahz steam name is the same as his gaf name. You can find a link to my steam profile on my gaf profile. Add us you sissies! Grow hair on your chest!

Just sent you a friend request! I'm down, and haven't played in a while.
 
Another steam newbie question. After you get all the dropped cards you can get for playing a game (usually 4). How would one get more without trading? It said something about a booster pack but I don't get how you get those.

Boosters. Random chance of getting those. Have to have people crafting badges.

In short, Cards are pointless and don't bother with them. Just sell them or hold onto them and wait for the boosters to come and hope you don't get dupes. Otherwise, continue to not care.
 
Wow, apparently I haven't made a single purchase from my own Steam store for a year, so now all my Steam gifts become non-tradable.
Cheers!....

jshackles, you probably hear this a lot, but you should get a job as developer for Steam client, you have your CV right there.

Steam Community's been rather funky in that regard (e.g. my spare copies of Motor Rock are allegedly non-tradeable until January but this isn't actually the case). You can ascertain the "tradability" of items by making a trade offer -- if they don't show up then the restriction is legit.

Thanks! I've sent my resume to Valve many times, but they seem pretty intent on not hiring me.
 
So... have you played the games you've bought?

First sale I have actually played my games. Working on Infinite at the moment. I played Cook, Serve, Delicious for a good 7 hours. Papers, Please I scratched the surface on. Hoping to beat Infinite by tomorrow night and then start either CoJ Gunslinger or Blood Dragon.

jeez, why does GAF hate far cry 3?

ubi grinding aside it's a pretty fun game with great visuals

Such a weird hate too. The game has fantastic voice acting and good gameplay. For $7.50 I would buy it.
 
So, Farcry Blood Dragon is the first game Ubi game I've purchased on Steam. It has Uplay. What should I know about Uplay? I already hate it.
 
Destiny tho

It'll happen!

Client updates can be frequent and slow circa a new release, and you'll want to back up your saves.
 
Thanks for all the suggestions, I think I'll cross off Far Cry 3 since I just bought Blood Dragon and Call of Jaurez Gunslinger.

If you could link me to the bundle for Teleglitch that would be amazing!
 

You can earn extra cards by purchasing them from the market or, as you say, waiting for a booster drop. The higher your level, the higher your chance of receiving one (eligibility is defined by having used up all of your drops for a given title), though Valve claims that the frequency of booster drops in general is determined by the community's overall badge crafting rate. Also, for F2P games in particular, you can earn more drops by spending approximately $10 in-game. There's an FAQ you can sift through for more details.

thanks guys, I guess I skimmed through that before I just didn't know hoe that translates to peoples experiences, like hoe often have you guys gotten booster drops? Just kinda lame the only way to level up is by buying cards, and I can't do that for a month.
 
HELP I WAS WRONG THERE'S TOO MANY VIDEO GAMES

games i know i want

- Far Cry 3
- Rogue's Legacy
- Risk of Rain
- Teleglitch
- Volgarr
- Legend of Dungeon
- Alpha Protocol
- Deadly Premonition

Which of these should I prioritize? :<


I don't really like Far Cry 3, it's just too generic open world and wears thin long before it's over.

I'd put Risk of Rain and Volgarr right at the top of your list. Both are excellent, both are challenging, both are fun. Rogue Legacy is just a bit below, then Teleglitch below that. Haven't played much Legend of Dungeon yet, it seems okay but maybe best if you plan on playing it co-op with somebody (Risk of Rain stands on its own in single player for me).

I loved Alpha Protocol but it's really flawed. Most of the gameplay is janky to broken so you might have a hard time pushing through it.

Deadly Premonition is what it is. Alpha Protocol looks the epitome of perfect gameplay execution in comparison. It's weird as hell and pretty much does whatever it wants though. Something admirable about it, but I wasn't able to actually play the game myself.

I'd say I last received one about 2-3 weeks a go. The frequency is very sporadic (I'm level 39).
 
stop me from buying Injustice.

does it have a decent online community on PC?

There are a lot of other fighters on Steam that are better, cheaper, and don't feature atrocious art design or hideous characters. The community manager, that was a huge proponent in keeping the game up-to-date and competitive, is gone.

It'll also drop a lot more in the future.
 
Because FarCry2 came out like 3 years ago and does almost everything better B|

Skip FC3 go straight for Blood Dragon.

Well yea but FC3 is worth 7.50 on it's own merits imo

Even if you just play for a few hours to hang glide around the island and stab some sharks and shit it's a fun time. FC2 was way different.

Waaat, they do indeed show up in trade offer, glitch master have saved the day! (even if I probably never will use it anyway)

Well once you eliminate all the BS ubisoft open world stuff you're left with nothing but the main story missions, and while they can be decent they're not amazing or anything. Also the fire stuff was heavily nerfed compared to FC2 outside of that one story mission where it magically worked and spread like crazy. It was just too streamlined of a game.
