STEAM | July 2014-3 – Let Off Some STEAM Bennett

Not open for further replies.
thats weird , before i restart steam , there was a music option in library
now there isn't

To be honest the Steam music player is really half-baked at the moment. There is no real features other than playing music, repeat and a shitty shuffle (all it does is scramble the playlist rather than play a random song on the playlist).

You're better off with your preferred music player for now.

Why are there so many Sims 2 giveaway?

I mean, I think it's okay giving away Steam keys that required Facebook, Twitter or Alienware arena accounts because not all people want to create an account only to grab a key, but the code for Sims 2 is in clear, all can access it, all have an Origin account so...where is the point?

only one of them is real, if you notice the mb code for one of them, it's actually the origin code. Cheddahz is just a joker.

More or less, it's a joke (because anyone can get The Sims 2 for free now)

No, not new features, I'm just testing all the spare routers I have around my apartment and need to remove custom firmware before I resell them.

oh crap, i just tried to register something, will it still work or will I need to do it again?

It will still work, nothing will be lost

Don't bother entering zerOman, you know why.

On a happier note, this just came out. If you should happen to win, try and post some impressions when you get around to actually playing it!

Looks nice. It reminds me of some books I read as a kid.

Is there any way to tell what game you're getting with a humble bundle gift link before you redeem it? I want to know before I do a mystery giveaway. If there isn't I'll put a placeholder link and have whoever wins PM me for the humble link.

There's no actual way I think, but you could redeem it yourself and check what it is and the link you get to your email is still usable by others to activate the game within.

I'm trying to launch GTA IV EFLC but it's not working (it was working a few days ago), and now I checked the GFWL client and is not letting me log in anymore, anyone else having this problem?

Stallion was having trouble with a GFWL game earlier today, and I can't seem to launch Dark Souls. I'll try to get out of the Steam beta and see if that helps.

There seem to be widespread problems with the GFWL client at the moment, judging by today's posts.
It's not just you. But then, with GFWL, it's never just you.

LTTP, I just finished Transistor..

First, let me say that Bastion is among my favorite downloadable games last gen, so I was looking forward to Supergiant Games' next title. But I was hesitant about Transistor because of the battle system, I'm not a very.. "strategic" player, I'm bad at anything with planning, taking turns and whatnot, so I thought it wouldn't be my cup of tea. But thanks to my friend corrosivefrost, here I was playing this gem.

I thoroughly enjoyed it, from start to finish, the battle system wasn't a problem for me at all. Visually it's nothing short of amazing, the story was great (loved the characters), and dat soundtrack is out-of-this-world good. Darren Korb did it again, and Ashley Barrett is an incredible singer (her voice just brings out all the feels in me..), already my OST of the year.

So overall, I think this is a great, great game. Probably my favorite one of 2014 so far.

I just launched Dark Souls just fine, and no errors, GFWL is working. First time launching it since like March.

Yeah Dark Souls has worked fine for me all the time recently. After doing the Windows 8 GFWL fix, I havent had any problems with GFWL surprisingly. Much better experience than Fallout 3 back when it had GFWL and crashed every few seconds.

Turfster should win this. He was positive about Unrest.
What happened to that one indie game with pixel art where you were controlling street riots. "Unrest" reminded me of that.

Great to hear, I enjoyed Bastion and I'll probably enjoy this a hell of a lot too.

Still a copy of Gun Monkeys going, no one want it? Figured someone would have missed it from the PC Gamer giveaway.

pouring one out for gfwl

i'll miss it
more than you guys will

GFWL would have been half decent if it played well with steam more than it did. As well as if MS would have given a damn about the service.as soon as people weren't paying 50 a year for it I think they dropped all resources on improving it.

Thanks for the impressions. There seems to be a lot of negativity towards Bastion lately, so it's nice to hear what a Bastion fan thinks of the game.
 
If you're like me that feeling won't go away... I had an okay time with City, but AA was in another league entirely imo.

Didn't expect much from Origins, but I actually liked that game way more, felt like the story was told better and the game overall had better pacing than City.

I'd say AA > AO >> AC

Do story and pacing really trump all the other ways AC is improved over AA for you? And even then, you found AA's story to be that good?
