I don't see why the Witcher 3 wouldn't have Steam achievements when Witcher 2 did?

CDProjectRed isn't in the business of going "fuck you guys, use our client" to Steam people.

you know what's funny, I don't consider Disgaea combat good either, it's not bad, no, but also Disgaea is the most grindy of them all, TRPGs.
Talking about really good TRPG combat, besides regular suspects as FE or FFT, I liked Valkyrie Profile: Covenant of the Plume combat a lot. It took time for it to grow on me and it's good mostly because of certain plot-story induced mechanics, which blew my mind. Also there is a real branching story in that one and it's not grindy at all, that helped, I think.
There is still hope that one day we might get FFT on steam, I would replay that one, gladly.

edited: Rhaknar will hate me now even more, what's hardly possible already, me having different names on steam and gaf and all that. (><)
A few hours late on this reply since I had to sleep, but I really enjoyed Disgaea. Sure, it's grindy, but it also makes grinding easy, and all the trappings (characters, story, sound and visuals) are enjoyable.

fuck both of you

whats wrong with Disgaea's combat? :(

Nothing, I thoroughly enjoy it.

Weird that NIS doesn't release more stuff outside of Sony platforms. I mean, Sony doesn't own them.

Why would you be ashamed of Saints Row The Third? D:
Ashamed of Saints Row the Third, shameless enough to tantrum about it.

Makes perfect sense, what happens if they are running out of time and they have to cut something like trading cards or Steam cloud? Don't want to anger customers for false advertising even if these are just small features.

I almost read your posts like you are scared wherever the games will have cards and achievements or not. :p

Ain't it all about games anyway though? Imo, cards and achivements are a bonus, not an obligation.

Well to be fair considering they have went back on their regional pricing word. They could possibly do something like that to the steam version.

I'm saving all my cards for badges since the Winter sale event is practically guaranteed to make use of them again.

j dont really get them to be honest. i was just going to craft the shovel knight badge to to display on my profile. are there other uses for it that only work during winter/summer sales?

During the Summer sale, every badge you crafted earned you a Summer card and a point for your team.

Am playing enhanced.



Using an Archer and micromanaging every character, but every now and again there's some huge beast that for the dear life of me I can't hit. I don't know if it's horrible luck with dice rolls, or that I'm missing really big items or something.

that was a little jab at the percieved difficultiness of oldschool games ;)
But really, enhanced is easier

Maybe that will be the break even for me, MGSV: PP is also out by then as well so I may want to jump on that release.

Though I would be astounded if we never see MGSV on PC at one point.
Too late, I already bought the Legacy Collection and Ground Zeroes on PS3 :(

Though that wouldn't prevent me from double dipping, of course.

I wouldn't look too much into that, the regional pricing initiative seemed to be an industry-wide push by the major publishers. It seemed to happen to many stores all at the same time.

I got the Legacy Collection on PS3 as well, picked it up from Walmart for $20 due to a price error. I'm glad I grabbed it too, apparently they are becoming hard to find.

yoyo. congrats on your gifts last night buddy. you deserve it

Thank you :) I also gave out some as well.

But hey :D I got a couple hours before work so I'm going to find people to play things with.

Hopefully July 4th will have some good sale so I can give more stuff away :)

All badges do are give you items and a coupon. After that the only thing you can do is show it off on your page and get XP from each one you craft.

Holding off until a sale to craft badges adds a bit more. Since usually during a sale thus far you get the holiday card as well as the other stuff.

Then you can use the holiday card to recoup loss of buying cards to make badges or to make that holiday badges easier.
 
Did anybody here already finish Shovel Knight?
I'm really terrible at the last stage, I think I'm taking a break from this game for a while.
I finished it on my wiiu a few days ago. The last stage is tricky at parts. But with some practice you can overcome the stage. Oh, and NG+ is no joke in Shovel Knight.

That's a good point and one I forgot.
Still as you said odd that they can't tell us ahead of time.

Now I'm curios.
This was the incident that prompted Morningbus to ask for the Steam thread to be gone, not even moved to Community. You can picture how bad it was.

I got the Legacy Collection on PS3 as well, picked it up from Walmart for $20 due to a price error. I'm glad I grabbed it too, apparently they are becoming hard to find.
That's a hell of a deal, man! They are really hard to find here too, I got mine on an electronics store that had two copies left in a warehouse, since who knows when.

Now I'm looking for a copy of The Darkness (a friend has it but I refuse to borrow, because I want to have all these games in my collection; I'm crazy, I know), and it looks like the only way would be importing it from Amazon, if I can find someone to bring it to me from the US.

Good morning and thanks to you as well! I'm down to play Payday 2 today, did my first Heist today with Chariot this morning, so I'm prepped and understand how to play the game now atleast. I set off a guard so fast in my first prepping stage.

I wish Steam would implement a spectator mode that lets you stream directly to people on your friends list. would be kind of pointless though.

Feel free to add me for some Payday 2 if you want. I'm fairly new and I'd enjoy playing with some "newer" players as well.

Anyone else who wants to add can go ahead I'm always looking for some new friends.
 
I beat Dark Souls 2 last night, I enjoyed that game a lot. Not going to go to NG+ yet because of the DLC coming soon. Not sure what to play next.. Witcher 2, Banner Saga or Fallout NV

Was this already posted?

For at least 2$:

Sweet Lily Dreams (Steam)
Aztaka (Steam)
Naval Warfare (Steam)
Legionwood 2 (Platform: Developer's website)
The Lost Island (Desura)
Nexus Sea (Desura)
Onager (Desura)

Damn my lust for RPG Maker games. Should have realized that Platform: Developer's website meant no Steam keys since it's sort of obvious, but oh well. At least someone will get the other games I raffle off.

Next Steam sale is "From Paris with Games" for the French national holiday (the 14th to the 16th). Are these becoming a thing now?
Anyway, below is a list of games and discounts that will be offered.

  • -50% - How to Survive + DLC
  • -75% - Blood Bowl Chaos Edition
  • -30% - Wargame Franchise
  • -40% - Wargame Red Dragon

  • -75% - Shootmania Storm
  • -75% - Mars War Logs
  • -75% - The Last Express
  • -25% - Crouching Pony Hidden Dragon
  • -50% - Gauge
  • -75% - Storm
  • -70% - Puddle
  • -50% - Let&#8217;s Sing

  • -75% - Stellar Impact
  • -50% - Trackmania² Valley
  • -50% - Trackmania² Canyon

Everyone should buy The Last Express when it goes on sale. Reminds me that I need to go back to playing that at some point, great game so far.

Do Dota 2 common gifts normally sell for over $2.00? I saw they were selling for that much before the sale. They are around $0.80 now but have been rising since the end of the summer sales.

Also I found a informative preview.

I hate when cool games are essentially trapped on dead platforms. The Darkness is the only Starbreeze game not on PC, and that is a real shame.

Love the studio and it is one of their better games as well.
 
just wanted to say f u to valve. Now, instead of selling card for a nice little discount on my purchases i find myself hoarding cards in case badge making becomes a thing again in the next major sale. sigh.
