STEAM | July 2014 25TH THREAD EDITION (2008-2014)

It'll get much better later on, for the first time is mostly guessing, of course, later, you already partly know what's expected from you, what skills you need when, and next time you know even more and so on. Also there are multiple ways to clear all events, so that helps a lot, even if you are just guessing for now.
I haven't been able to add it to Steam through paypal, but I did just win and add it to Amazon an hour or so ago.
Hm, okay -- I'll try Amazon if Steam still doesn't let me. I was hoping to win enough for the rest of the month to snag Dead Rising 3.

Thank you Fuzzification for the gift 
I'm putting it will be next on my hitlist.
I might not kiss you on the lips but I will love it like my own child!

I believe you can add it to your paypal.
Talking about games we play much later than we were expecting. I started the Banner Saga recently, and oh boy, am I disappointed with it.
I have only myself to blame, that I was expecting Suikoden (warring factions) only with tactical combat and I got nothing of that, but some slow game (wth with moving through map with incredibly slow animations? I would prefer it done Japanese way, you just click on location and you are there) and story not impressed me so far at the least. Combat is OK, I guess, too early to judge.

"Play as your Enemies" and "
used paypal to add to steam wallet about 5 hours ago and then just a few minutes ago when I won again...

I'm gonna have to go check out gameplay, because I was under the impression that combat worked similarly to Fire Emblem. Regardless, I'm sorry to hear that you're disappointed by it, especially after it's been a GAF darling for a while.
Tried that too and it wouldn't work. Just keeps throwing declined errors at me. I'm not too fussed, I won a good bit and it financed my summer sale funds but a free Dead Rising 3 was hard to resist.
Oh. Guess I got unlucky and got a card with no funds on it. People still guessing card #s I guess?

A friend gave me a card he won and it got rejected directly to steam, through paypal, and on amazon today. Might be something weird going on because I was able to use a different one on steam through paypal last night.
I'm the other way around with that game. I found the combat disappointing (loved Fire Emblem series and Final Fantasy Tactics) but I like everything else. At least for now it's too simple. Not interesting enough. That said outside of it I think the game works pretty well when it comes to just seeing your bannermen move through those frosty sceneries and you having a situation to deal with every once in a while. It's not quite what I expected but I'm enjoying it.
It kind of works similiarly to Fire Emblem but it has yet to give me the satisfaction FE gives me.
Well, it's my fault partly, I had unfounded expectations.
It is somewhat similar to Fire Emblem in broadest way of both being TRPGs, but no substitution for it, not even close.
Combat seems to be basic, what you don't like about it?
Keep in mind that I only played for two hours or so.

Super House of the Dead Ninjas is incredible. GAF hype did not let me down this time!
I'd post more detailed impressions, but no one reads them. Instead, I'll just say, buy this fucking game! It's downright amazing!!!
http://store.steampowered.com/app/224820/
Edit:
It's just fantastic.
Visually, it's gorgeous. It oozes so much style and nails that retro look perfectly.
Gameplay-wise, it feels so fucking good. The controls just melt like butter.
In a nutshell, it's a a fast-paced action platformer where you go down a randomized tower and slash the shit out of everything. You're always winning new weapons, outfits, magic, etc.
It's just great. So damn great.
This post made my night.
Yes, people, it really is that good! Go get it! (Or play it, in case you own it and haven't even installed it).
Yeah, from my second attempt at a playthrough I've got a better idea of which skills will be needed now early on in the game due to repeated events. I think I need to focus a bit more on the Divination skill in particular in the long-term!

I've been playing Long Live the Queen and encountered my first death -poisoned by chocolates. Nooooo!
I felt like this whenever I was deciding on orders for classes to take:
That was my first death as well. Great little game.
That is really helpful skill, as it gives you hints of what's to come.
Bear in mind that you don't necessarily need the skills you're failing tests for. Like, if you got "Test: Climbing -> Failed -> Death" then maybe having more Climbing would save you, but having a different set of skills and making different choices might mean you're never in a position where you need Climbing.
Best I've found so far is a freeware program called DesktopOK which saves your icon layout. When windows decides to shotgun your icons randomly around the desktop after a reboot or resolution switch, you can just restore them.

Thank you for this, I'm gonna look into it.

I really like feature when elite monster get their names from steam friendlist (so you can murder JaseC or someone else, if you lucky!)

It'll come to the PC eventually.
As some of you know, I bought Call of Duty: Black Ops from GMG this morning thinking I could play it on my Windows machine. I sent them a polite email with pictures attached to explain to them I had misunderstood.
To my relief and happiness, I just now got a mail, were they have given me a full refund for the game.
Great customer service at GreenManGaming.com.

I picked up Super House of Dead Ninjas in the last Summer Sale I think, enjoyed it a lot so picked up the DLC in the next sale. Need to spend more time with it though, I really enjoyed it but ended up spending more time on other games in my backlog. It's always there waiting though.

Oy, new thread!
I got both and have never played them either. Now I gave my PS3 away to my parents heh. I got to get back to them, but I wish we had PC versions.
Just quoting the giveaway one time because the thread moves so fast.
Of course!

Hopefully not at full price, since you never played them? If they don't come to PC I guess I can go pick up the 360 versions or something. I'd just rather have 'em on PC.
Nah, bought Red Dead used from a friend and got Dragon's Dogma for free through PS Plus.
I tried to play DD, but it's close to unbearable, really, we need it on PC, hopefully it'll run much better than on PS3.

Arright guys, it's 4am here and I can only keep up with the nightowl routine for so long. Try not to double the page count while I'm passed out.
When I had an issue with a non working Warhammer DoW II key I bought from them, they refused to offer me a refund...
Same with a friend who bought Ninja Blade from them thinking it was a Steam key. They told him a refund was not possible...
Never bought anything from them ever since except freebie stuff that I could get with GMG credit
It's just that. It's too basic. There's too little things to keep track off. I'm not too far into the game either but I get the feeling that this is it.
Also the game just crashed on a loading screen :/ Let's hope the save system really works.
I have 36 games now and have played 9-10 of them. I have quite the backlog. Its like we're game collectors.

i think the gif is kinda messing the image up but maybe you mean fences?
see?
edit: there. sorry, work stuff. also dam deleted the gif. so bad
Heh. "Work stuff" indeed.
I can tell this is going to have a lot of replay value!
Yeah, there were a few times
(like the invitation to Gwenelle's birthday party)
Ah cool, cheers, I'll keep this in mind as well!
Quick review of Tiny and Big: Grandpa's Leftovers: It is aight. Cutting is cool but more a novelty than anything else. I did appreciate how the game definitely did not overstay its welcome (about two or three hours to collect most of the music and not nearly any of the boring stones (collectables in each stage)). Some fun achievements in there too!
Looks like Crytek put Warface on Steam. Guess they had no choice.
Maybe we'll get Crysis 3: Maximum Edition sooner rather than later after all.
