Aaaand BST thread is full of Dirt Rally keys for 10$. Man people there don't waist their time.

I kindasorta want to buy one for the AMD livery DLC.

Edit: A bit of research suggests that the liveries are actually in the game by default.

 

[Zero-Crescent]

AMD site is still dead

It's back up now. I was able to redeem my key pretty quickly with the servers working.

it's up for me

Horray, got the Steam key now

Are there any OTs regarding card games - on Steam, but also possibly outside it? I am craving for a (long, rich) card game, not sure where to go.

My options, as far as I see:

* Magic, the Gathering - never played it, looks very complex and not very friendly for some reason (maybe I am wrong).

* Hearthstone (non-Steam) - played it briefly a year or so before, like it overall, this is my main choice.

* ??? what else there is?

(There's also Gwent in Witcher 3. I played it, it's great, if a bit simplistic, but it's kind of 'done' in that the form in which it exists in Witcher 3 is likely its final form, no more additions.)

Any help?

Hearthstone is a piece of shit but still the best digital experience you're gonna get. There's a pretty active OT in community, we're salty af but apart from that a nice bunch. Drop by sometime.

Duelyst is pretty cool too but I don't think many people are playing it.

 

[def sim]

I have to wait 24 hours to verify my AMD account. Oh well.

 

[Arthea]

damn, you guys are lucky with that $1 DiRT Rally... I'm so jelly, considering I paid so much more and couldn't even play it, still need to try again.

Steam is the card game I shelled out the most money for.

Spoiler

Help

that is factually true, I try not to think about it

MtG is not that hard to get into, Hearthstone apparently is very easy to get into judging by the fact all my friends playing it, even those that never played any, apparently it's very addictive.
There are many on steam, we kinda live in renaissance of CCG, there is Talisman, Infinity Wars, Draconian Wars, Dead Man's Draw, Spectromancer and more I'm forgetting now.

There are also partly ccg games, genre mixes as Northmark: Hour of the Wolf or Hand of Fate.

edited: already see I forgot SolForge (currently in EA)

Thanks a lot, I'll be sure to check out the games you mentioned.

Worst case, I'll land in the OT for HS and we'll be salty together.

I still would advise trying MtG, I know that it's popular to hate on it these days and praise HS, but a game which lived as long as MtG has to be doing something right, no?

So nice to see our little community try to help each other instead of make a profit... oh wait...

We all need SMS verification burner phones just for these types of situations.

MtG does a lot of things right but digital is not one of them. A legit online MtG with Hearthstone's production values, the full catalogue and a reasonable business model? I'd jump ship in a heartbeat but their efforts have been garbage for years now. Apparently they're afraid of cannibalizing physical sales when the overlap probably isn't that big at all.

Like, I've legit never seen anyone hate on MtG as a base game while praising HS.

I'm not saying MtG is perfect, don't get me wrong, or that they were handling new games with any common sense whatsoever, but I still think it's very good and worth the effort.


edited: amazingly enough I could resist HS up until now still, not sure how I managed that!

that's not a merchant game and more Ace Attorney type of game, this one - Aviary Attorney

The weekly is usually its own thing so it will probably happen.

not gonna happen! with my luck, blind purchases would be silly and I don't wanna other people suffer because I subscribe to it.
On second thought maybe I should embrace the darkside already.

Starting to see those Nvidia codes for Rise of the Tomb Raider on seller sites.
Might pick it up soon.

I thought it's wishful thinking and still there are no Nvidia codes for RotTR.
so are there?

Sounds like an Early Access game without being labeled as such

I always get really suspicious of situations where games have hundreds of reviews, mostly positive (in this case, 87% positive) and all the top reviews are negative reviews.

There are some groups who bombard to like negative reviews on release, I believe, I've seen this happen several times before, amd always get suspicious now.

 

[texhnolyze]

^ You won, mate.

WOT

It's always good to see when the winners are the actual regulars here, congrats.

 

[Arthea]

but I thought yesterday people posted that there was an update and now Aviary Attorney is finished. Probably reviews haven't caught up on that yet.

It seems to be justified in this case though, if the game is as unfiished as the reviews say

Well that would change things of course

good job on dirt rally. a game on my list as well.

is it really as good as people act?

 

[Dusk Golem]

Oh my, I'll activate it and try it out shortly upon me returning home later today.

 

[Lain]

Used fake us address and got voided (of course)... like how these companies first take money off your card and then they check address

I'm still waiting to see my money back from the voided purchase of the FFXI pack I tried on newegg.

 

[TheAutomator]

I checked steamtrades and some dude is selling them for 8 bucks a code. I was tempted but I'm not gonna reward scalpers.

Spoiler

plus Codemasters games always tank in price anyways so we'll get a good deal soon

Any help?

Card Hunter has a big collectible card component, though it's not a card game per se. Still no harm in checking it out if you're on the lookout, it's free and on Steam.

the negative reviews actually seem to have real, valid, grievances though... but seems like the [update] comments prove its fixed
