Support NeoGAF

[Nabs]

Someone say Skullgirls? I haven't played in a while, but if anyone wants to play a few matches I'm always down (/nabs).

 

[HalfwayOrb]

GUYS, With all my uber profits from steam trading, i have decided to gift

Spoiler

MYSELF

either Don Bradman Cricket 14 or Divinity: Original Sin.

Which one should i gift? On one hand you got super duper GAF hype. On the other hand you got probably the best cricket game released in 10+ years.

Don Bradman Cricket, bro.

Spoiler

Divinity: OS

 

[Ibuki]

Does anyone want to group up for some competitive on CS:GO? I'd prefer to do the new maps but if you want to play Dust 2 I DON'T CARE.

 

[zkylon]

i just realized the quality in this gif is mindblowing

 

[Rhaknar]

Right, I get that you think it's trashing up the thread. Let me address that first. There are thousands of games on Steam, so having any attempt at a directed discussion about gaming is utterly futile. At best, we can shoot the shit and talk about what's on sale.

I am curious about one thing though.

If new users are getting games from Shadow and others, then I think their discovery of his generosity is warranted, like "Wow, hey guys, Shadownet is awesome. He gave me a game."

That's someone new to Steam who now believes in this service a little more on account of Shadownet.

If however it is some insular clique where Shadownet just gifts his friends back and forth, well there is a problem. However, since that's not happening, there's no problem. And you know that's not what is happening.

but everybody already knows shadow is awesome (or you, or zero, frosty, etc, its an established fact), must we keep hammering the point home? maybe thats his point?

notice there was no drama when Mokoi went on a rampage, or drama when NBNT went on a rampage. They gifted their shit, didnt make a fuss about it, went on their merry ways.

What Shadow is doing is great, its great when others do it so of course when he does it its great aswell. He is a good person for doing this, I cant stress this enough. Free games are a good thing.

But maybe less of constant "dont forget to update your wishlists so I can gift things guys wink wink" posts would go a long way?

Spoiler

Or my personal favorite "im a terrible person, I forgot who I havent gifted to" come on dude, thats like the hot girl that knows she hot and yet cries about hot fat she is

but hey, I do "flashy banner giveaways" as you called them, so what do I know. Peace bitches!

Spoiler

my giveaways look amazing and you know it!

 

[electroflame]

Thank you for Crysis 2. Even Origin games need love too sometimes

No problem, glad someone decided to take it!

Someone took Dead Space as well, but that's the only two that are gone. The others are still ripe for redeeming!

 

[borghe]

f'!! worst part about a hackintosh.. getting a system update and losing your sound drivers... looks like it will be a while before I hop on Divinity tonight.

 

[dot]

I'm glad! At first I wanted to make a proper GUI but as soon as I started to read what I would have had to read up for that I felt like "Yeah okay... naah..." and went with the CMD/DOS route Also why not, more WebMs are always good!

Spoiler

I wish I could make BlazBlue WebMs, though I'm really terrible at fighters...

Yeah, i have no idea what you just said.

I do understand the spoilered text though! When i get Blazblue i'll make lots of webms, just for you.

Spoiler

of me getting owned

 

[Trejik]

So...Broforce anyone?

Huh? Or, talk about Broforce. Let's just do that. That Brade, M I Right?

 

[Skyfireblaze]

the final boss is doable!

I hope I will get to fight it soon enough

So, do you just have to record a screencast of the gameplay and then convert it to webm? I don't know what programs are good for screencasting on PC!

Yeah pretty much, I can help with that too! Do you have a nVidia or AMD GPU?

 

[Atraveller]

So I never did get a response when I posted earlier in the thread, so I'll ask again:
Is there an option some where after the most recent update to get Tools out of the Installed list? It's made grid mode very ugly.

Try custom grid cover?

 

[yGray]

The Trupple King's dance in Shovel Knight is amazing. Reminds me so much of the dancers from FFIV where their dance was just them changing in direction. Love it!

And yeah what's with all the drama?

There's another dance in there that's pretty funny.

 

[8 X 11 Printer Paper]

steamgaf, what's happened to you.

Steamgaf has gotten not enough StrangeGaf injections, so it's become to serious and angry.

 

[billmcdougal]

This is getting out of hand. Even if you think that shadownet is doing this for his ego(which is a ridiculous and presumptuous idea), he's still being absurdly generous and gifting people.
There's no problem with feeling a bit jealous, but lashing out at either the ones gifted, who feel grateful and want to thank the one who gave them the gift, or at the gifter, is really childish.
It's people like him, Rhaknar, Sub-Zero and nbnt with their generosity; people like JaseC and Grief with their help on steam and games, users who post their impressions of games, and countless others, that cements why Neogaf, and more specifically, SteamGaf, for me, is one of the best communities i had the chance to participate.

Agreed. As someone who only recently started spending time on SteamGAF, the only negative part of the experience has been seeing the passive aggressive attacks. That's what's kind of awkward and unwelcoming, not seeing some buds share some games with each other

 

[Jawmuncher]

How hard is Skullgirls compared to Vanguard Princess on normal? Coz the latter is seriously hard for me.

Skullgirls is way easier to play and get into than Vanguard Princess.
It's more in line with Street Fighter/Marvel vs Capcom 2 so the inputs are easy and very forgiving.

 

[someguyinahat]

Hey WinterDemons, thanks for puzzle kingdoms! Hail the Puzzle King in the North!

 

[jblank83]

All this drama.

 

[Anteater]

You can play coop or single player and there is a VS Mode that at launch will be offline but online will be added later.

Will there be online coop being added? (Not VS)

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

It's a minor nitpick but I really wish that stealth bastard/inc had different bosses, even if the boss rooms are really just puzzle rooms like the rest. Maybe that's something they'll fix in the second game but it kinda cheapens the experience a bit.

 

[Indignate]

Rude.

I won't even use my stick.

4realz we should play though.

I apologize for hurting anyone's feelings with my opinions.
I apologize for the sarcasm in my last post, it was not necessary.

Please continue with your happy fun times.

out.

Thanks.

How hard is Skullgirls compared to Vanguard Princess on normal? Coz the latter is seriously hard for me.

In arcade?

About the same. The final boss in Skullgirls might be harder, but her pattern is so easy that it's trivial once you have her done.

I'm glad! At first I wanted to make a proper GUI but as soon as I started to read what I would have had to read up for that I felt like "Yeah okay... naah..." and went with the CMD/DOS route Also why not, more WebMs are always good!

Spoiler

I wish I could make BlazBlue WebMs, though I'm really terrible at fighters...

Thanks for that script, hopefully I'll find some use for it in the future.

Do you only play Blazblue on the PC or...?

 

[zkylon]

in these troubled times i think it's important to remember toki who gifted me bad rats

 

[iosefe]

salty replies to salty replies are still kinda bad.

Does anyone want to join me in one of the following online games:

• BattleBlock
• Castle Crashers
• SpeedRunners

?

 

[freshVeggie]

Heading off to bed as I have an exam tomorrow. I leave you with this

Good luck on your exam Sub! Which study is it?

 

[Mono]

Haha yeah, that would probably happen.

Be honest, you just wanna see me get beaten up don't you Momo?! ;-;

i'll beat all of you up with my keyboard skillz anyways

don't underestimate amy rose

Oh gosh, Skullgirls with a keyboard! I couldn't find my DS3 for a while and had to learn Skullgirls with keyboard commands. It really hurts your fingers!

Spoiler

For all you know, I could be a pro Skullgirls heckler! #rekt

 

[Beelzebubs]

A true hero!

Jawmuncher pretty much said it. It's easier than Vanguard Princess (to me anyways) and is actually similar to Marvel's button inputs.

 

[Ventara]

Guys, here's my wishlist. It would be awesome if you guys can gift me the games tonight or tomorrow. I'm not picky.

 

[Pupo]

How hard is Skullgirls compared to Vanguard Princess on normal? Coz the latter is seriously hard for me.

Vanguard Princess is hard as f*ck

 

[Hugstable]

the final boss is doable!

It's doable, but damn they crank the difficulty up 2 notches just for that final fight.

 

[liezryou]

It could have been so beautiful, but you just HAD to ruin it didn't ya steam?

 

[Vazra]

Will there be online coop being added? (Not VS)

Online coop will be available on launch. VS Mode was added later to the game so they will add the online component later.

 

[Mokoi]

I haven't played Vanguard, but skull girls is pretty easy to get into. I suck at fighters, yet still manage to do alright.

 

[yGray]

Try custom grid cover?

Would you know how to make the Detail viewing bigger? I like the Detail mode better than Grid.

 

[Fracas]

Guys, here's my wishlist. It would be awesome if you guys can gift me the games tonight or tomorrow. I'm not picky.

I was about to gift you The Witcher III but I guess you don't want my love ;__;

 

[MUnited83]

Let me get on that Skullgirls train! (

Spoiler

I'm terrible tho!

)

 

[Skyfireblaze]

Yeah, i have no idea what you just said.

I do understand the spoilered text though! When i get Blazblue i'll make lots of webms, just for you.

Spoiler

of me getting owned

Oh basically I said that I was too lazy to make the conversion script a proper program instead of a script! And naaaw thanks I would make some too but I lack a capture device for my PS3 and the only BlazBlue PC port is a veeeeeeeeeeery old version But yeah believe me, if you would play me, I would get owned, my brain is combo incompatible...

Whenever I think about doing more than a 3-move combo my brain always goes like "AHHH WHICH BUTTON TO PRESS? CHAOS! FINGER-KNOTS! SYSTEM ERROR: SKYFIREBLAZE SHUTTING DOWN!" It's the same reason I can't play DJ MAX D:

 

[Rhaknar]

where can one find out more about this alpaca game

im not joking :/

 

[Anteater]

Oh shit, I didn't know, I always get confused by the features list on steam.

 

[Ventara]

I was about to gift you The Witcher III but I guess you don't want my love ;__;

 

[RionaaM]

this sort of isn't true.

gifter gifts a game to someone. they are appreciative and want to thank the gifter. they now have two choices... privately, either in steam, PM, Skype, whatever.. or publicly in this thread.. I mean really what's the benefit to doing it here. But then beyond that it's not even "thank you" or "thank you for game X" but "hey I'm going to take a screenshot for everyone to see and post that".

Not really as nonchalant as it's being made out to be. shadow more than likely isn't/wasn't say looking for genuine attention/approval, however it's tough to really say that the public display and thank yous are "low key. I don't see the big deal" If that were really the case it could simply be done in PM or steam chat.


glad I posted this... gifting isn't really the problem. I've gifted my brother and friends tons and even had a few non-bundle giveaways in the last thread myself. It's the "look at what x just gave me for free!!!" posts that people are taking issue with. I don't think anyone is taking issue with Shadow, et al, at all.

Whenever I post here regarding a gift I got, it serves a dual purpose: to publicly show appreciation to the gifter and the game they gave me, and to let other GAFfers know how kind and generous that person is. I don't do it to brag nor to incite other people to ask them for gifts.

It's a way of letting other people join in your pleasant surprise. I don't feel jealous when other GAFfers get gifts, and in fact I enjoy seeing the messages they received along with the games, as they are often written in a humorous or funny style (this is regarding Steam gifts, which allow you to type a short text when sending them).


So we should all try to stop feeling bad when nice things happen to other people, and instead take part in their happiness. As Supertramp once sung: "There's so much that we need to share, so send a smile and show you care." Since we are on the Steam thread, it's only natural that "smile" be replaced by "game".

 

[Vazra]

Guys, here's my wishlist. It would be awesome if you guys can gift me the games tonight or tomorrow. I'm not picky.

I didnt knew Sexy Beach was on Steam.

 

[Mono]

Yeah pretty much, I can help with that too! Do you have a nVidia or AMD GPU?

Thank you so much!

And I'm so bad with hardware, omg. I'm 90% sure it's AMD!

 

[Atraveller]

Would you know how to make the Detail viewing bigger? I like the Detail mode better than Grid.

I don't think so, there is only a icon toggle in detailed view.

 

[freshVeggie]

f'!! worst part about a hackintosh.. getting a system update and losing your sound drivers... looks like it will be a while before I hop on Divinity tonight.

Do you use a prebuilt Hackintosh OS or do you install vanilla and kexts yourself?
I tried to hackintoshize my laptop with the original OS but it just wouldn't work. Only a prebuilt one did the job. After Snow Leopard nothing worked anymore though.
OSX has some nifty programs (video editor), so sometimes I think about getting a cheap, old mac pc. But wow, does the price not deflate.

 

[kurahador]

Thanks guys!! Installing Skullgirls.

I apologize for hurting anyone's feelings with my opinions.

But where is your "opinion" post located???

would you play a dating sim about dragons?

fuck everything

done w/ SteamGAF

fucking hopeless

no, not going to placate an already inflated ego

make sure you buy it as a gift, add it to your inventory and then make a .webm with a greeting to yourself and then post the .webm along with how awesome you are and then have twenty other people quote that post saying omg you are so awesome and then another thirty posts of people begging or dropping not so subtle hints that they want to join your personality cult.. then when others get tired of it, turn around and act like a victim and claim that everyone is just so jealous because you are oh so awesome..

also, to the guy who keeps saying this is about pure jealousy and 'not being a part of steamgaf, grow up guys." congratulations, you are great at cherry picking one point out of several and focusing on it as your sole means of rebut.

 

[Chance Hale]

I'll just let it be known that I don't mind being pampered

Divinity Original Sin is great so far, really enjoying the combat and the visuals complement it nicely. It's neat how you can separate your party into multiple groups. Was having trouble in a battle so I had my archer stay behind and sneak around the mages and light them on fire while my main posse were fighting the horde.

 

[Ibuki]

Please pass on the info once you find it buddy.

Giant bomb played it during one of their premium shows. You have to be a paying subscriber to see it, though.

Pretty sure there's a free demo out there that should satiate your curiosity.

Could you point me in the right direction
