moved to firefox after having a few issues with chrome and here i find that every so often going to a game's steam store pages crashes firefox entirely? anyone had that happen?

is that the enhanced steam bug?

Mm I think I need to check up on it more, I mean it is a gametype that I really do love.


I did preorder PoE: Champion edition though! I couldn't resist when it cost the same as the Hero Edition.
i mean, out of all the ks old school rpgs eternity seems like it's interested in modernizing a bit.

at least when it comes to interface, all the games i've played have either been hell (dead state, wasteland 2, divinity) or just were so streamlined you didn't have an inventory (shadowrun)

i think eternity will be old shit done better, which is what i really wish the other devs would've done as well.

A vast majority of communication in any visual medium (film, art, games) is done through 'visual shorthand' like this [same in 'real life', too, really].
i think it's fine in some cases, but the way it's haphazardly used is kind of sick when talking about delicate stuff like that.

I have it on my wish, but I removed it today. Metacritic scores are not good, and Guardian of Light was just boring after a while.
Actually the fact it's two hours long could be a positive things,but I prefer taking this from a bundle or 90% off.

Its the same exact thing as Guardian of Light.
So if you liked that you'll like this. Since you didn't though there's nothing here to change your mind.
 
Well I think I might be a liiiiittle crazy.


Still I did say to myself 'only buy 5 games this year' and now that 3 down on the list with only one of the AC's and Arkham Knight to go. Of course seeing as the year is barely 2 weeks old I better be fucking strong willed not to go spending crazy like every other year.

Also as a plus point I forgot that reward tier games, if you already own them, give you a dupe in your inventory. So I've got a butchered copy of San Andreas with missing tracks and kneecapped resolutions options to foist on someone!

Gonna wait for GTAV to get around $15. So i guess ill be purchasing it around late November/December. I've waited this long, what's a few more months?

It'll give me time to wipe the mediocre taste of Watch Dawgs out of my mouth.

Is there only one preorder Tier for GTAV? I thought there would be more.

It's set up like Max Payne 3: pre-order now to get the most rewards (bonus cash and San Andreas). I'd expect the bonus cash to be given the flick come February 1st (which is when Tier 2 kicks in) with Tier 3 having just San Andreas.

Update Enhanced Steam on enhancedsteam.com.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.

Sort of. Technically speaking it's a Firefox bug (it's in the release notes for the latest version).

Be sure to grab the latest version of the extension from http://firefox.enhancedsteam.com as versions older than 7.2.2 won't automatically update. A few people are still reporting crashes, but less often. Hopefully Mozilla has a fix available soon.

I like how right after that whole Master Race thread there's now a hype train picture which says PC Master Race on the front and a bunch of people can't wait to get on it. I also don't understand what's going on in there in general and why they are excited despite me myself looking forward to W10 but that's a minor point.

I feel like this can only end poorly and in disappointment.

Read somewhere on GAF that tinypic pics was replaced by porn pics automatically.

In my experience, the vast majority of Tinypic links on GAF still link to their original images -- some do link to something else, though, and a subset of those are NSFW.

Wait what is this then:

From the FAQ in the Steam forums

There's only one app and one sub (excluding the four-pack for discussion's sake), so either that's outdated info or there are two versions but Rebellion forgot to upload/put up the modified one intended for Germany.

Interesting how Rockstar is pulling a Ubisoft and making it so you can only buy the Steam version through the client. I wish they would give the option of codes through online retailers.

I'm getting screwed by the horrible $CAD anyway so it's probably better for me to wait for a sale on GTAV.

That seems weird. Could the game itself check from where its played and load that data accordingly? The devs said german version is censored just 2 days ago on the forums.

Bah, I got gifted it, so I can't join you as a crazy. How disappointing!

Well if you're going to try running it at full pelt on your PC I'd say that is far more crazier!

Saying that the specs at the required end are quite low but I couldn't get GTA IV to play nice on my Q6600, even when it was clocked to 3.8ghz. Even turning every setting right down would still wig out from time to time. Though when I upgraded to a 4670K, even with turbo off and at 3.4ghz stock the difference was massive. Be interesting to see how things have progressed from IV to V. What I do find funny is folks saying 'Max Payne 3 was a great port'. Yeah sure it was, for a linear, enclosed shooter. Open world is a whole different kettle of fish in terms of demands but L.A. Noire ran pretty stellar on my old and current PC. I guess we'll see in a couple of months time.
 
I'm disgusted by all the people who will now with excitement express they pre ordered GTA V, all over the internet.

Let me get this straight:
They - deliberately - want to give money for an at this point unavailable product, produced by a company who doesn't give a fuck about PC gamers.
That company made the game available to console gamers - TWICE - and can't get enough manpower together to finish the PC version on the deadline they published officially.


Yes, I will buy GTA V myself.
No, I won't buy it before release. Not even in the first month after release.
When the first price drop is available I will buy it.

Wait so you're upset that others will pay more to get earlier access to product you deem worthy of buying yourself anyway? All the outrage about how Rockstar doesn't care for PC gamers is fine when the game is $60, but it goes away when the price is $45?

There is a flag that does something like that (e.g. if you activated HL2 in Germany you'd get the censored version) but the sub doesn't include it.

I would love if the pre order incentives go up over time, instead of down.
Like those last-minute benefits when you order a vacation trip very late.

The suckers that already pre ordered would get so mad lol.
In line with Rockstar's attitude, it would be perfect.

I would play it like Sakura Spirit, if JaseC would buy it for me :p
Very sure that I don't want to get my hard earned gem money into this turd.
 
Finished The Evil Within on Survival, 12 hours 13 minutes, 67 deaths (!!!)

Here's some pros and cons

+ Superb gameplay (RE4 refined)
+ Awesome scenario planning and pacing
+ Great graphics, sound design and overall location design (+ impressive real time transitions!)
+ Grade A enemy design
+ Use of letterboxing that wasn't just a atmosphere ("for more cinematic experience") thing but one that actually contributed to gameplay
+ Difficulty level that was just right
+ Quite a lot of hidden stuff I guess, I only got like 15% of the collectibles and I searched A LOT
+ Some incentives to play on new game +
+ Many "This must be a QTE part" were actual playable parts

- Story didn't really go anywhere and I didn't "get" the ending at all
- Human character design which in together with the story didn't have any impact
-
Needlessly re-used boss encounters
- Awesome scenario planning made the very few weaker areas show worse than they were
- I died a lot but the pre-advertized enemy randomness was only clearly visible in few places

Overall, it was one of my favorite games as of late. Incredibly well balanced game that delivered on the horror and on the action. As it's mentioned here, it's very well balanced experience: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=960796

Just don't go and ruin the game by removing the letterboxing.

Wasn't there a big ballyhoo about this game where the developer did a quick turnaround and created a pay-to-win business model?

Following the H1Z1 thread, because I don't have the game, it seems the airdrop stuff was shown and talked about to work the way it works months ago so I wouldn't call it a quick turnaround, just people being... quick to negativity.

Yeah it will be a good laugh to see if it works at all. Unlike MGS V where the lappy was pretty much below every min spec other than ram, it's only the CPU letting the system down this time, since mine is a dual core rather than quad. Although it is apparently one of the stronger dual cores, so there is hope haha.

Sorry if asked before but is GTA V on Nuuvem for Steam or really a Social Club Only Game?
Atenção: Chaves serão ativadas no Rockstar Games Social Club somente!


Urgh I should have guessed.


Please Valve, let me have control over how my library appears. Saying that where do you stick Episodes? Do you put it after IV or at the end like a separate entity?

I'd set it to "Grand Theft Auto IV: Episodes from Liberty City". They are expansion packs, after all.
