I really hate it when games are being removed. I thought games were supposed to be preserved, but titles keep getting removed for different reasons. Oh well.

I think it's actually the one most shocking thing to me, since going the PC route back in April 2014 - that games are being removed on PC.

Just being on Steam at all, even for a day, is a big step towards preservation. For as long as the Steam service exists, those games will be downloadable by at least someone. Yeah, it sucks they aren't purchasable any more, but at least they don't vanish completely like plenty of older stuff has.

Well, to be fair, we were told during sale that these games were getting removed. But ya, it still sucks.

I'm surprised it took so long. I'd guess that Parallax gave Interplay time to remove the games voluntarily but ultimately had to involve Valve.
 
Guilty Gear Xrd is 30% off on Humble Store. And it looks so good.

btw i feel like i don't deal any real damage? i mostly use the claws that do triple backstab dmg cos nothing else seems to be as effective, it's really weird

I don't really remember much about the game. I just remember never feeling very powerful, and you pretty much have to spend a long time attacking enemies and bosses. The bosses are so bad in this game, so bad.

oh alright, so it's not just me

i thought i was doing something wrong or something, it takes so many hits to hurt the damn bosses and they all have those really annoying shields and very small windows to attack them

and like everything's so slow

it's a really weird game
 
With Alien Isolation done, I am now putting my focus on ARMA3. Like expected I am being crushed atm with UI and controls. There's a lot of depth here. But I am enjoying that.

Having everything on Ultra at 1080p and getting 45-50fps. Gotta tweak some stuff tomorrow but given the huge view distances and them being important from a gameplay point, I probably will keep maxed out FXAA and 8xFSAA. Better IQ does help identifying stuff.

Only played 1-2hrs of the tutorial campaign so far and I am having a lot of fun. A lot.


This tutorial alone will take me a dozen hours likely, haha.
 
New Vegas is amazing. I started with installing Perk Every Level and Unlimited Companions, which has really alleviated some of the tougher encounters. I then did all the Freeside quests, liquidated Vault 3 after I discovered that they were imprisoning people (and starting backwards, from the basement), got a dog a new brain, took on a pack of Deathclaws with my new crew of four and got some spiffy new Remnants armor.

for shame

Okay someone please tell me what the hell just happened... I was browsing through my library and clicked on Lucius II and it unlocked an achievement called MJ "Touch 4 kids"... the game never launched I just selected it in my library.
 
That achievement ain't cool, yo.

Yeah it's kind of weird taken out of context, and the games reasoning for the achievement is even dumber lol. Apparently it was a broken achievement that was fixed in a recent patch and would unlock when the game launched but I never launched it, oh well.

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.
That Microids thing seemed a bit ill-conceived. I obviously won a bunch of stuff I already owned, because owning a bunch of stuff got me a bunch of entries. Enjoy!

There is NO WAY, to complete ANY row. You will end up with ONE missing card in EVERY row. Right?

I did complete the North V South and Return to Mystery island ones once each, but someone posted the number of winners per row and it's only like 1 autographed artwork, 2 ABC's and maybe 10ish Subject 13. Even the lowest are only 100-500.

People will tell you that perk everylevel is a bad mod, they're incorrect, its a must have. Also theres a mod that adds a BUNCH more perks, theres even a mod where you can basically become a mechanic and fight by building robots and shit thats unlocked through perks, really good stuff. New Vegas is one of my favorite games of all times thanks to mod support, also helps that even the vanilla game is so much fucking fun. Really wish bethesda wouldve taken notes on that game when making fallout 4... One can only hope that obsidian is making another "spin off"(if you ask me fo4 is the spinoff) in the style of new vegas

Trailsin the sky FC is pretty fun so far. Started a bit slow but i'm interested now. The battle theme is so good.

It's really kind of a prologue for the second game. In the first game you meet every characters, learn about the lore and mythos and start to learn about the bad guys and the second game is where all hell break lose. No game have the level of details to dialogue and lore than the trails game. I loved both. Cold Steel follow the same structure where 1 is kind of the prologue for 2.

Why isn't there a uPlay-GAF? GAF is a big place. You'd think there would be some small group of people who really dig it.
 
If things keep up I am going to have to find some Steam friends with some overleveled pawns for DD. Only 1 is playing ATM. Level faster you bastard.

With that said the genero pawns are pretty good TBH.

Pretty much, yeah. I had like 22,000 points after I linked my Steam account (I own every one of their games besides the new Agatha Christie one I was hoping to win) which means I got to draw 220 cards. I won all the turd games above plus a ton of wallpapers and MP3s and shit and still had between 5-9 of each card besides one in each row and didn't win anything by matching.

I had something like 18k points and had exactly the same experience. It's not a surprise. It's quite possible all the rare items were actually given out well before any of us even got wind of the site. I still had fun clicking tbqh.

I dunno, I did mine when the servers were still getting hammered during midday and I didn't get a card set. Some cards had up to x8 repeats.
I used a script, though. Refreshing the page was taking 10 seconds so I couldn't see myself actually clicking through all that.

Same here, I thought it was a neat promotion. A few people grabbed some of those codes too so it wasn't a total waste of time. I also got some kind of Syberia 3 thing (wallpapers, I think) and I didn't even know that game was in the making - seems like forever since the second one came out. So it served it's marketing purpose too.
