Support NeoGAF

[Vazra]

Man I suck at doing combos in the game. I think my highest was 4 so far >_>

Im at 12 hit combos. Dont think I'll do better than that.

 

[brotkasten]

Yea, they say "too many activations" and prevent you from activating for a few hours.

That's still different than being kicked out of the service. I can't play any of my uPlay games right now.

e: Just got the hint about offline mode! Thanks Ubisoft!

------------------

On a fun little side note. Can you guys tell me..

1) who on SteamGAF has your favorite avatar? like the avatar that you love the most. (beside your own)
2) who is your favorite SteamGAFer?
3) the best post you ever seen on SteamGAF? no need to go searching for it. Just give me the clipnote version.

1)Stumpokapow. No one can win against a dog with a crown. NO ONE.
2)Way too many to count or only choose one. Honorable mentions go to JaseC and Grief for helping people with steam, Jshackles for creating ES <3, The_Monk for being absurdly nice to everyone...and people who love Devin Townsend. I automatically like you.
3)Probably Javadots. That was so bizarre.

 

[BadRamen]

This is going to be random but anyone actually enjoy the Ducktales remake? I'm wondering if i should get it on the next sale but i just remember people being kinda meh about it on release.

Actually, I started and finished the game a few weeks ago. I had only dabbled in the original when I was a wee wee boy, but I enjoyed it, especially for the Amazon sale price of <$4! It can get stupidly difficult at the literal end of the game, but nothing worth saying, "I should have never played or paid this game!"


Side-note, is there any really cool Wolfenstein

Spoiler

Russian

deals with this weekend sale of it being Quakeconned? Or is the $30 the best deal available, disregarding Steam/GMG credit/vouchers?

I think uPlay is 3 strikes and you're out (well for an hour) but I can't remeber if you have to see the client to always start offline then go online to activate said code and then if things go awry when you boot the client up again is starts in offline mode like nothing happened. I'm surprised it's not listed as a unique selling point.

That Little Inferno key was a duplicate

This made me search for those good old posts and there were so many Woo and Indeed Hoo posts that it hurts. :'(

Also to partially answer Shadownet's question: Woo's avatar is the best avatar on GAF. Deal with it.

It's only shameful because it's not a Steam game.

Have you ever thought to yourself, "Man, I wish there were a game wherein you mount your friends"? Wish no longer.

 

[derExperte]

I got my beta key for The Crew!
Then I tried to activate it on uPlay!
And it didn't work!
I tried it again and again and again!
And now I'm banned from uPlay for the next 60 minutes!

lol Ubisoft.

Does Steam act the same, when you try to activate an "invalid" key too many times?

Mine doesn't work either. The beta starts on Monday according to the email, maybe that's the reason.

 

[billmcdougal]

Have you ever thought to yourself, "Man, I wish there were a game wherein you mount your friends"? Wish no longer.

THIS GAME. So worth it.

It's been on Xbox Live Indies for at least a year.

I pull it out at parties all the time! (hah)

It is a ton of fun and just so damn funny.

I feel like I've seen that game before somewhere.

Edit:

Ah, that explains it.

 

[JaseC]

Yeah, the e-mail mentions "guaranteed access" rather than "instant access". I can't say I'm shocked that Uplay doesn't support key activations of games that aren't yet public.

BAM super ancient quote


OMFG I went down in some cave and suddenly there is this MOTHERFUCKING HUGE SPIDER THAT WANTS TO KILL ME I DUNNO but I GUESS it was a spider coming out a seashell? PROBABLY?
I killed him so fast I honestly don't know, he tried to spawn some spidery thingies but I was really too fast / clicking randomly with eyes closed, I... I... shit...

dam, i've been told there aren't that many but i don't like any of that shit

WTF, I wonder what happened that at some point giant spiders were the standard enemies in any fantasy/scifi/whatever setting.
Is this Tolkien's fault? Damned be South Africa and all their vuvuzelas.

yea i blame tolkien

afaik he was kind of nazi so i don't feel guilty for it

I used to be freaked out by almost all insects, and spiders, but I made myself take an entomology class in college and it helped a ton. If it was a real phobia it probably wouldn't have, but now I recommend it to everyone who complains about insects blindly

Now spiders in games are just usually underwhelming. They never seem as strong as other creature types. Bears though, bears are always rough. People should be freaked out by bears!

yea that wouldn't work for insane people such as myself

how do you think i got this crazy in the first place

That's nice. Care to show off your projects. Interested in what can be achieved by amateur devs.

i appreciate the interest but not yet :3

believe me gm is pretty useful and you can do cool stuff with it really fast

jagged alliance 2 and la mulana in maybe someday category
if i had a heart you would've broke it

lol

i've played la mulana a lot tho, i just got stuck at the minecart boss

OMG ... FINALLY!! took them long enough to bring it to steam

 

[Widdly Scuds]

Does Steam finally remove items from your wishlist if you redeem a key?

I just bought Killer Is Dead from Amazon (and I can't remember if I had it on my wishlist) and when I went to remove it, it wasn't there anymore.

 

[Tellaerin]

4+ hours into Inversion.

Gotta say this has gotten to be a really enjoyable shooter. Saber Interactive does good work.

...Saber Interactive developed Inversion? Okay, that's just jumped up several places on my "things to play from my backlog" list. (Just finished TimeShift earlier this week and really enjoyed it.)

[dmix90]

A sub is basically a container for apps. There being only one Trilogy Pack sub means all (non-blacklisted) stores share it -- the fact that there are region-specific subs for TW3 alone doesn't play into it at all since there is just the one app (292030).

That all being said, 10 hours ago CDPR removed the Trilogy Pack from Eastern European stores, haha.

Edit: Oh, wait, there's an RU-specific Trilogy Pack. But again, it contains the same apps as the ROW sub (and it's region-free).

Finally got it! Thank you!
Heh few hours ago trilogy sub in ru store were same as in the other stores. It looks like they desperately trying to do something but can't decide what exactly.

no, unfortunately only manual removal works

Wow, that looks cool, although maybe I would rather have double sticks controls like Robotron.

Open it up and get your vacuum cleaner out.

Don't press it against anything but you can probably suck up a lot.

If you haven't done it in 3 years it's almost guaranteed to make a big difference.

If you want to go an extra step further, get some compressed air or something. Some people say you have to be careful with cans that have fluid but I haven't run into any issues (just don't flip it upside down).

I was under the impression vacuum cleaning the PC is a massive no-no thanks to a build up of static.

It actually seems to be a brand new feature.

I haven't cleaned my PC once since I built it more than two years ago. At this point I'm fairly certain that the environment has given rise to sentient clumps of dust.

 

[Phinor]

That Little Inferno key was a duplicate

Oh wow, I thought I messed up and I actually did but in a way I didn't anticipate. I'll PM you the actual key after writing the following story: My notes said (and I'm very careful with keys and games, whether I've used them already) that I had an unused Little Inferno key on PC&Android Bundle 8, but I accidentally opened my Humble Bundle 8 order which incidentally also had Little Inferno. Only, that key was already used.

 

[TheSeks]

>>gifs<<

I still want to know how you make your money for all that.

 

[Pickles Spill]

Yes. There's a cooldown period of half an hour, and if you hit the limit again within the following half an hour you're barred for an hour. I assume this keeps going up and up, but I'm not sure since I've only experienced the aforementioned limits myself.



God I hope Lynch makes another film. Inland Empire is almost a decade old.

It's never too late to rewatch Dune!

more garbage on the steam store, why am I not surprised?

They're so good?

Do we know if this is as cheap on Steam as it was on Xbox Live? I think I paid a dollar.

If so, day one double-dip for me.

I don't think you understand. This is actually a fun game for its mechanics, not just novelty appeal. For real.

 

[NaM]

And we all know Australian dust is something else , mine is dust with electronics. I will clean it soon though.

 

[JaseC]

Dune is actually the one Lynch film I've yet to see... alongside Fire Walk with Me (which, at this point, I'm saving until after I watch the BD release of Twin Peaks).

You say "garbage", I say "one for the pile".

That's what so strange about this whole thing -- CDPR has spent the past week or so doing everything but actually locking down the Russian subs.

No he wasn't! But he was a sonuvabitch for all the Ungoliant and Shelob stuff. SHAME ON YOU DEAR SIR

Spoiler

also i luv you all the same

Btw that spider I was talking about it's HUGE and pretty SCARY, and the worst thing is that it's UNEXPECTED.
But, it must be said that it was kinda easy and in the 5 mins or so I fought him, he got to spawn just one sibling and anyway his attacks were ranged and water based, so no creepy spider legs stabbing your heroes or creepy spider webs mummifying them.

So, aside the jump scare of its appearance, kicking its butt was not that great deal I was expecting as soon as I saw it.

 

[Ozium]
