IIRC, Tom's "weeks rather than months" quote was said several months ago, hence why SC fans are feeling a bit dejected compared to the Cold Steel audience, who already have a definitive date and the game was only announced for localization a few weeks back. Though many may not realize that most, if not all of, the SC localization team was at E3 this year so they had some pretty hectic stuff get shoved into their schedules.
There's some quotes talking about the Win10 version being able to play with Minecraft Mobile, and with a $10 price point, I'm guessing it's going to be a rather cut-down version of the game.
I think this was rumor and Microsoft said microsoft account isn't needed in final version.

I was afraid of that. It's a shame that A Realm Reborn didn't go on sale during the Summer Seal. Oh well, Winter is coming.

I'm not sure what to think of this. At first i thought it would be terrible as minecraft doesn't really have a story, but that trailer doesn't look too bad. I still don't think it was a very good choice to make a story-based game for it, though.
coming to PC and MAC steam , X1,X360,PS4,PS3 and android and iOS
but no vita
also , where is windows phone version ?
How can I stop Steam automatically pausing downloads whenever it feels like and "scheduling" them for some random time in the future?
This isn't when I'm starting a game either, just completely at random, if I'm downloading in the background - I'll check Steam, and it's downloaded a certain amount of the full download, then paused the game without warning. If I don't see this and manually choose to start the download again, it could be an hour plus before Steam bothers downloading anything.
Even if I tell a paused download to resume, this might not download the full game as at any point Steam could decide to pause it again. For example with Road Redemption now, it paused, I resumed the download and it only got through a few more MB before pausing itself again.
No other service I download through such as Origin does this, so I don't understand why Steam is doing it either. It certainly provides no benefit to users - I don't have time to be checking the download list every 2 minutes to make sure Steam has bothered to download the game I told it to.
Is there any way to stop this?

It will sell butt-loads just of its name alone.
Personally didn't do much, the trailer.

The thing is I am almost 100% sure that's their target demographic with this game.
Those Minecraft videos where people make little on-going stories are a huge success on YouTube, and the younger demographic. So I think the idea is to make something like that, but of grander scale and have the sort of TellTale choice gameplay stuff.
I know that might sound dumb, but I do think it'll do well.

Does steam appear offline make you offline or will it still track time and achievements? It's kind of confusing.
Dusk Golem

Appear offline, achievements and time will still be tracked. You can even get trading cards.
If you go to Offline Mode as opposed to appear offline is different.

i dont understand the point you're trying to make. I'm talking about minecraft story mode, not south park.
I've had limited success with scheduling downloads and then disabling the option, but the issue always rears its head again at some point.
They are probably testing it, which is something awesome to do, considering we are still a few months away from its release.

Am I missing something? Amazon is selling the Steam version of Velocity 2X? That's gotta be a cruel joke, right?
lol, Trench Wars is my favorite zone though. I love it mostly for TWD/TWL competitions though. Extreme Games is also fun for casuals to try it. I think everyone in this thread needs to play the game at leas ta couple times to fully understand it. It's not a hard game but it takes time to master.
Yeah hockey is a big part of the game - it even has its own server or zone.

Yay for Idlemaster helper. Was getting tired of doing it myself in SAM.
Thanks jshackles.
You know there's a drop rate penalty for being in multiple games at the same time, right? I'm pretty sure you're better off idling one game at a time.

Member
Yeah, I'm aware of that. But the game on Amazon is listed as available right now. Steam key and everything. Kind of tempted to try and buy it.

It could also be a pre-order key and just be mis-labelled. But it'd get you the game one way or another, if available for now or for later.
He's idling those games to the 2 hour mark at the same time, so he can idle at normal rates after that.
bobnowhere

I do indeed. This new program just runs the games for 2 hours each all at the same time to get them over the refund window. Then you fire up the standard idlemaster and it does them one at a time to actually get the cards.
Ah, that makes sense.
Idling 25 games at the same time, I wonder if the penalty grows exponentially
oh, disregard my post...
Is this a new feature for IdleM@ster?
dirtywhirlwind
Member
Yeah, I figured it might be something like that, but part of me is asking because I hope someone takes the plunge. I never really seen any game to have pre-order keys before, especially when a release date isn't even determined.

Valve doesn't release games on weekends. THAT SAID, the publisher could make their game live, but it's highly suggested you do not since there'd be no support.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
This generation of Sony fans officially worse than Nintendo fans at peak arrogance.

yo straight up, i think valve is a pretty shit at making games. besides portal they're not that great. Left 4 Dead is decent at best, didn't like half life(idk maybe its one of those games that didn't age well or something) and like that picture says, they're leaning more towards treating their games as services which i greatly disapprove of.
its a joke tho. besides, it could've easily been a pc gamer who did that picture too, you know
TF2, Dota 2 and CS:GO are multiplayer masterpieces but I guess they don't count because services
Dota 2 and Counter-Strike are two of the best competitive games around though.

fanboyism is terrible no matter which side
having that said I don't like Valve's new direction and I commend Sony for giving fans what they want

1) My comment stands with or without the image.
2) I don't really see the joke, considering that both positions are ones I've seen people earnestly take on GAF.

Saw it on r/valve, no idea if what type of fan made it. Maybe a bitter Valve fan. Maybe a Sony fan. Maybe someone who's both. Was surprised it took so long to see something like this though. Like it or not, Sony has been doing a great job pandering to the so-called hardcore this gen. GAF is a great example of it. Meanwhile Valve just keeps on doing whatever they want.
