maybe the answer for you lies in multiplayer. challenge a friend!
in any case, its not necessarily series for everyone, but it would be a pity if it would be your thing and you never got to find out
Great read from stump. Thanks for posting that here as many of us would have avoided that thread like the plague.
Thanks for posting it here. I cackled @ Batman: Arkham Dancefest 2016 though, it needs to be real.
Magic is basically the WoW of the TCG market, it's so old and well established that anything new just can't really compete. My favorite old time CCG was always the old Decipher Star Wars CCG, not just for the universe but also the mechanics. There's actually a card game that's gone through Greenlight that has very similar mechanics to it called Draconian Wars that I've played some, nothing else I've played has been similar, they all try to be Magic v17.

Well yes. It was simply a statement saying that using Ryu is something that I do not advocate.
And it depends. Sometimes you can do things with multiple characters that share that particular moveset -- so that combo in trial 9 would probably work with Ken and maybe other shotos, though I can't say for sure.
Why are you doing the trials? If it's to learn concepts and stuff, cool. If it's to try to teach yoursefl usable-in-match combos, don't. Go look up some match friendly stuff and don't waste your time practicing stuff from the later trials for any character... in most cases it's just a test of skill and not actually something viable (though sometimes important concepts can be learned from them if you're paying attention).

2. You will activate it to your own library, no trading or reselling the gift.

4. We will play a race once in every level.
Quote this post to reserve a spot in the competition!
Competitors:
#1: DunderHassan

Heartbroken that I missed this post. I worked on Blur (it was my first game), and would love the chance to win it for my Steam library.
I realise this is against the spirit of the competition, but if the winner doesn't actually want to play the game I'll gladly buy you any full-price game (or two) on Steam in exchange, or buy a few nice things as a SteamGAF giveaway.
I feel like such a prick for writing that, but this was my baby

It's my own fault for not picking it up when it was $10 at various times, but that was before I switched over to PC gaming.
But yeah, I remember JaseC and another SteamGaffer posting some comments about Blur a while back, to which I wrote a long detailed reply and then never posted. I should check if I still have the .txt doc at home.
There isnt much demand for the game I think so not many?

Activision should do the right thing and bring back Blur to Steam and port over Geometry Wars. Yeah like that will ever happen...=[

There was no winner, because nobody was able to beat Dunder.
Faith in Destiny + Scenarios are Steamworks, so they have to redeem on steam. The rest is "other DRM" or "DRM free" though.
You have one W too many, and the order of the games is incorrect to match the acronym
I think I was trying too hard to fit the acronym. I should have just replaced Watch Dogs with Dark Souls II

Murphy Law's is happening in my life right now.
I got a bad batch of hardware
- PSU fan is WAY TOO LOUD... (SEASONIC M12II-750W MODULAR)
- Dell Monitor U2412M - Dell coming for a 1-1 exchange for a loose power connection
- gonna try to replace my ASUS R280X... and hope there's no more artefacts

On the bottom of the game requirements, it states:
I'm guessing the rest of the games do not require Steam.

Most of them are Steamworks, so they should. Not sure if the DRM-Free ones will give you a key.
Thanks for the post. I'm gonna read it in the original thread to see the context behind it.

So I got alien isolation as a gift.
Does it include the nostromo DLC ? is there a way to check ?
Does it include the nostromo DLC ? is there a way to check ?
No, it means a set of cards from each of those "planes". Each of those planes has had a set of physical cards related to them. The reason they say "collection" is because it's not the full set, most likely, but a selection of cards from each. Since they're named after planes and not sets, there might be cards from sets not directly related or named after said planes.
To clarify, Ravnica is a "plane" where the planet is almost covered by a gigantic city and the theme is rivaling guilds who specialize in crossbreed magic (so one guild combine green and white magic, for example). Theros is themed after greco-roman mythology, so minotaurs and gods and stuff. Innistrad is the "horror" plane with lots of vampires, werewolves and shit.
Basically, they're (probably) offering you a card pool from each of these sets so you can make a deck around the theme you like the most. Like minotaurs, go for a Theros deck. There are also gameplay-specific differences between these sets, or at least probably (depending on if they're doing planes or sets), but I won't go into all that since y'all won't have any idea what I'm talking about if you're not very familiar with MTG. Theros has a fun one that beginners can grasp and enjoy.
it does, its like a pre order.

great. thanks
Basically, yeah.
It rustles my jimmies that they flushed half a million dollars in less than half a year.
What the fuck?
If I had half a million dollars, I'd make you a game in that time.
It might not be the best game ever (these things, they take time), but you'd get something approaching the target
Good read. Thanks for the repost.

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.
I believe (though it hasn't yet been confirmed) that all of these cards from all of these "collections" are unlockable in-game. So buying the deluxe edition is just basically ruining the fun of unlocking new cards. Of course, you'll have to wait until the game is fully released to know for sure, but I suspect that's the case - at least it has been the last 4(?) years they've released a Magic game on Steam.
They didn't want to use the word "set" here because they didn't want people confusing them with the actual paper card game "sets".
was about to ask this, thanks for "confirming" it shack
Oh yeah, that's pretty much definitely true. They're not stupid enough to create a split between players like that.
And the reason they didn't want to confuse people is, I think, because it's a selection of cards and not the entire set.
The big clue to that being that there is no set called Shandalar.

Always like Stump's made up game names. I want Batman: Arkham Dancefest 2016 now but I'm still waiting on Scribblenauts Hunger Games Edition. Actually come to think of it Stump do you have a fixation of WB IPs at all?
Digital has only made sense to me during sales. I'd say of all my purchase on Steam 99% of them are when there has been a discount applied. Only in the very rare instance that I want to play something asap and then it's a last resort as I'm sure with a lot of hunting around there is always a cheaper option than Steam. Then again got to love the crippling UK retail sector for entertainment products at the moment.
I know it's completely different in NA where retail PC sales haven't been in any sort of healthy state for over a decade but here in the UK and even more so in other parts of Europe like Germany retail PC games are still stocked quiet well. Couple that with most of them being Steam redeemable these days, games sales still being front loaded, still the most transient form of entertainment media and none of these retailers want dead stock taking up inventory space there are bargains a plenty to be had. This year I got Wolf:14, on release for £17.60 something which was cheaper than what the daily deal was during the Summer Sale not to mention my Collectors Ed of Divinity Original Sin which turned up a week before the official release was just over £40, again cheaper than the Steam equivalent and has a fair few physical extras. I grabbed Murdered: Soul Suspect whilst food shopping at the local Supermarket for just over £16 also on release and then there was the rush-on-site-preorder strategy through Amazon to get Dark Souls II Black Armour edition for £23 when everywhere else was offering a digital copy for £40.
And that's only this year!

Who do you advocate using then? I'm thinking it could be a good idea learning a "basic" character (shoto) first.
I do the trials to learn concepts and the basics, and learn the game basically. I certainly don't expect to do these combos in online mp

Good post by stump. What do you think will change on DD when comparing consoles and PC stump?
With DD's margin becoming higher and its advantages for pubs (no hardware production cost, easy restocking, lower risk) I imagine new options becoming available in the future. Maybe subscriptions based on franchises, publishers or genres.
Also, I hope the winner of Blur makes the deal with ascotabroad.

There are 46 friends on Steam that have it wishlisted but how many of them are really interested?
You could try taking info from that (about 44 are from GAF) and do a rough estimate of the people who would be interested in actually buying it.
