grid 2 reloaded 9.20 bucks, should i bite? How is it compared to grid 1?

kind of didn't want to spend money because there are other stuff i want to get in summer sale, fuck

There's no cockpit mode in GRID 2 and there's plenty of DLC including tracks (like SPA and Bathurst) and cars that should be on the main game. There's a chance they might discount in the upcoming sale all the DLC. It's a nice game and I liked it but if you are big fan of the first one you might wait for a decent deal on Autosport. The game is also pretty enough (specially if you are comparing to the console version) so 1080p at 60FPS will feel amazing.

I've put a little bit more than 20 hours myself and I can se re-visiting again. Oh and I love, love the music when you are in the garage. It's very relaxing... Such a great mood it gives, it starts slow but it's worth it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mAfdgLS9oDI

I liked it better. I think they leaned in the direction of arcade fun rather than grounded arcade physics like Grid 1 and the racing benefitted from it immensely. The visuals are sublime at times too.

I second this. I still get wierded out when the game addresses me by name.

Why is Ether One showing up in the new releases tab? I don't remember the game being in early access or anything

It was released on 25th March and I'm pretty sure of that because I bought it then

Spy Chameleon keys are out now on Indie Game Stand!

I assume you're referring to the GMG sale on it. I grabbed it this morning (used Playfire credit), will give it a go this evening. Or tonight, depending on how it takes to download.

I just bought it, lol, going to leave it download and play it tomorrow

Cool, good to see it's getting a lot of praise, I thought 1 was quite relaxing to play so I was looking for more, strangely there aren't a huge selection of these kind of racing games out, a lot of arcade racers kind of went open world, but I like different maps and playing in short bursts.

The real sale is getting TF2 keys cheaper. The 'games on sale' part is just a front for the key market.

If you buy tf2 keys on the market your doing it wrong

Oh I know. I have no idea what price they drop to during major sales, but my luck going through steam trades looking for people trading through paypal was not successful.

Thanks dude.

There is some strange glitch with steam store again, this time we travel forward in time, not back. The Entente Gold is in the released games list, but it doesn't have even price yet and shows "coming soon"

 

[HalfwayOrb]

Thanks for Thunder Wolves, Rhaknar!

 

[Rhaknar]

Tex Murphy bundle on steam, is this new?

Got my steamcard ready for the summer sale and hoping the witcher 2 makes it on flash deal.

That happens a lot with new releases. Sometimes they show up in the "new releases" tab of Steam, but aren't available for purchase yet.


Also, looks like a bunch of Tex Murphy games were just released.

Witcher 2 will be on sale like 17 times during the sale as usual

Got 5 booster packs on my inventory. To sell them or unpack them, mmm...

I think it's first time I see that a game even without price in the released games list, it happens that we can buy but not play games form released list, but this is something new.
Or I was just being my blind self.

Sell, of course.

Hopefully Lords of the Fallen fills a bit of that action RPG itch to make the wait for Witcher 3 easier.

The developers are certainly saying things I like to hear.

I always feel really stupid when I tap the wrong mouse button in Hexcells Plus by mistake...

[JakeD]

possibly dumb question..but how does the non-market TF2 key thing work? where do they come from? why do people sell them for 1.75 if they could be getting 2.40 on the market?

and more importantly, are there any reputable GAFers selling them right now? getting witcher 3 for $22 would be nice

 

[AkuMifune]

Man, the life of an artist:

I was excited to see another comment on my Gunpoint map in the workshop only for the main complaint to be that it looks ugly.

Like, god-damn, have you used the editor? Have you ever made anything? Do you even lift bro?

They're not selling them on the market to avoid Valve's ridiculous taxes

Or they just prefer to have money in their PP account rather than their Steam Wallet. Since not all traders are interested in buying games

Lords of the Fallen is looking great, really looking forward to playing that.

So me and the guys from IsThereAnyDeal will be doing a Reddit AMA this Saturday where we will be answering questions about how to get the best prices for games during the Summer Sale.

More details soon.

Decided to play some games I've long abandoned. I do that way too often, and usually on really good games. too.

Batman: Arkham Origins. Turns out I was a predator section and a boss battle from finishing it.

Torchlight: I gave up on Level 32, when apparently the final boss is in 35. I shall delve deeper!

The Witcher 2: I'm only in Chapter 1, still a very large journey ahead. Really loving this game all over again.

I have an easy three-step guide for the best deals on Steam:

1. Live in Russia
2. Log in to the Russian Steam store.
3. Embrace the Ruble.

Same here, first time playing the Enhanced Edition though. I also went ahead and installed the FCR and Weight Watchers mods.

Man, I've been doing VVVVVV's Gravitron challenges and I just can't get enough of this song. Can't wait for it to go on sale again just to gift more copies.

Once seen. Never unseen...

What have you done!? (lmao)

 

[maneil99]

I will be giving away a copy of Ultimate General: Gettysburg. It's not going to be a Modbot giveaway since I want to trust the person that I am going to gift it to. I only ask one thing of you, to put some hours in the game and post some impressions in this thread. PM me if you're interested

Cant wait! Its like a bite sized total war game

Anyone having trouble voting on Greenlight items? I'm in Chrome and every vote, yes, or no, fails:

In the debug console:
XMLHttpRequest cannot load https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/voteup. No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. Origin 'http://steamcommunity.com' is therefore not allowed access."

Tried disabling adblock and Enhanced Steam, didn't fix anything.

Pretty much, or be the guy exploiting differences in prices by region.

 

[fantomena]

I still don't understand why Valve can't fix the goddamn badges page. It opens once in a week when Im lucky and I need to write down on a notepad file which games have card drops remaining and how many cards.

Uneccessary, Valve!

Enhanced Steam provides a filter showing badges with drops left only.

 

[denx]

Made 2 dollars in the last 3 hours selling cards, nice. I'm hopeful I can make 10 dollars more before the sale.

 

[HalfwayOrb]

What's the voucher # for Green Man Gaming?
Thanks!

edit:
Never mind, found it.

I'd say that the soundtrack is one of the more consistently good soundtracks that I've heard in the past few years. Sure, there are great songs on other soundtracks, but every single one of VVVVVV's is ridiculously catchy.

It's the latter

Just checked, and Greenlight is working fine for me using Chrome and Enhanced Steam. Also enabled adblock and tried voting, and my vote went through. Maybe it's server based?

So what're your theories on why Japanese devs don't look at the western PC market for their games?
