People buying Splinter Cell: Blacklist and enjoying it for actually being a good stealth game just warms my heart.

It's such a shame Ubisoft is terrible and couldn't market it properly. Hell, even I was convinced it was going to be shit.

 

[Mozendo]

What great ways to start my birthday.

Blacklist makes me glad we're hopefully on full new-gen now. I laughed out loud the first time you, in your tiny little flying base, have to walk through loading screen doors. It's like 30 feet guys! God I hate the secret loading screen door. Thankfully you could just use the menu to talk to everyone anyway.

 

[Deques]

well tbh i just used one of those automatic sites and it was pretty smooth

it's just that you feel like you've been bad boy afterwards

Still you need to find key sellers first before you can use dispenser.tf

Or just get them from the Steam Market if you don't mind paying a bit more.

 

[toddhunter]

Thanks for the info all, I'll just be careful and try my luck =D

Make sure to get in before all the trading forces further regional restrictions for everybody else...

I wont lie i am interested in that Castle game.

Same.

Because it's licensed and will be gone in a few years.

Outside of the rough edges, are you enjoying Mass Effect 3?

So... if I were to get into trading, ideally I'd grab games in cheap sales, hoard them, and then offer trades for keys to keep things flowing?

Oh god I just checked the last few pages.

I'm never sleeping again.

There should be more giveaways during the sale.

Games can be tough to trade. Have to pinpoint the ones that will retain some value, as some will take forever to rebound since so many publishers are sale whores. You're generally just better off buying the cheap keys outright, unless you want to put a lot of work into it.

 

[danielcw]

Some people are probably wary of it due to the not trusting the other person?.

My bad!
I thought the problem was PayPal and not the other person

 

[Corpekata]

Well, it partly is Paypal. Paypal has shitty policies re: digital products so if you get ripped off you're kinda SOL with them. So you just have to be thorough.

 

[Sub Zero]

So... if I were to get into trading, ideally I'd grab games in cheap sales, hoard them, and then offer trades for keys to keep things flowing?

That's kinda risky, as demand for games is all over the place and there will also be many other traders with higher rep than you that will do the same thing, so you have to factor in the competition a well

It may only work with popular games like DayZ or Rust that sell really good no matter if they're on sale or not

 

[dcpc10]

Hey, I have Killing Floor ($19.99) and want CS:GO ($14.99) for it. I also have other games I can throw in to make the deal extra sweet if I can do the trade soon: Darksiders, Red Faction: Armageddon, possibly even others. Open to communicate, Thank you! : )

Note: I will only trade via steam. Feel free to message me however.

Edit: Sorry wrong thread! =_=

It also works well, conceptually, for games that haven't gone on sale in a long time or otherwise haven't seen a generous discount (e.g. The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct earlier in the year)... but the thing is you're up against several other people who had the same thought.

That explains why I couldn't find anything on TF2outpost. I kept putting what I was searching for in the section on the right...

I'm currently playing Mass Effect 3 and it's really insane how janky the game is. I've played eurojank better then this. I'm still enjoying it since I know what i'm getting into, but it was a wise choice to wait a few years. It has a lot of serious issues, and I really do mean a lot. Not only talking about the crappy port.
The previous ME's had problems sure, but those are nothing compared to 3. Heck, the game's questlog doesn't even properly work...
And the bigger focus on action is especially painfull. So many waves...

But there are some hilarious glitches as well, and a whole bunch of clipping issues. In the first mission, during that overly melodramatic, forced "emtional" and mediocre intro scene where that kid stay's behind and Shepard watches it all happen while The Normandy closes it doors and flies away? Well, Shepard stayed behind this time. Clipped right through The Normandy. So bummed Shadowplay was turned off at the time as it was pretty hilarious. Had a lot of those happen at only three hours in.

But still, the atmosphere is great and the character's are entertaining. I'm enjoying myself. Glad I didn't buy the CE at the time, though.

What great ways to start my birthday.

Happy Birthday!

Not very far in (just about to talk to the Council about the reapers), so no cool conversations yet and so far all the fights have been boring hallway fights. I'm vanguard so usually I charge into a couple of them and fire a shotgun blast or two in the explosion, then drop a nova to fuck up anyone else nearby, then tell my team to use powers that fuck anyone else up while I run to cover again. Shit ends sooo fast and there is no real thinking involved.

I'll be spending my birthday this year on a plane. Hard life yo

 

[zkylon]

of course the moment the league of legends servers go back i feel like programming

didn't like anything i've played of sniper elite, felt like that'd game would be so much better if i was unable to move and it just let me stay there and fucking shoot at people

 

[Dr Dogg]

Morning peeps. Good to see the standards of some posts in this thread are on the continuing nose dive trend as per recent months (sorry still a bit bitter and pissed about last nights footy shenanigans) though awesome set of giveaways Rhaknar.

Though what's really got on my wick this morning is that checking out the Origin Sales I noticed that both Lego Star Wars The Complete Saga and Lego Star Wars III The Clone Wars are -50% off (£6.99 a piece) when they haven't had a discount on Steam in about 2 years. Is this year going to be the year? Disney did have that big Star Wars sale earlier in the year.

Some of the fun of sniping is changing locations so you don't get pinnd down, but I understand what you mean.

Haha, poor jshackles is going to be kicking himself if Lego Indy is a featured deal.

Edit: What a nice start to the week:

You'd think a foil with the name "Cash" would be worth more, but alas.

Looks like I missed on all the giveaway fun yesterday, and on Rhaknar getting a nice new tag!

Instead of starting a new game after finishing Stick It To The Man, I decided to complete my current Fallout 2 run. I had no idea what

a) I was doing
b) where I was going

but it was fun. So addicting. Maybe I'll start The Banner Saga after this one.

yea i mean it could work if moving in this game wasn't so clunky and restricted. i only played like the first mission and a half so maybe later on it gets mad awesome but like every action that hasn't been just looking down the scope and pulling the trigger was not-fun.

which i guess makes sense since this is a game about sniping but you know it feels like too much to get through to get to the good stuff

i feel like game would be much better if it were just first person and you could climb ladders, jump, all that shit. no need for fancy animations to get in the way

and I missed all of them because I was out :'(

Woke up and got Monako key from SourCinnamon, thanks!

I want to buy divinity so bad. I know it won't go on sale, but I still want it a bit cheaper.

The standard edition is region-fee. You should be able to pick up for about $18.50 or 9 keys.

We far be it for me to dictate the direction of the thread or posts in it but seeing 6 or 7 new pages this morning and having to filter out a fair amount of content out makes it hard work to see the deals or impressions just recently. Though if I really wanted to wind myself up I'd stick my head in the latest Digital Foundry thread where it's sure to descend into madness and considering the title covered is Murdered: Soul Suspect I very much doubt many people posting in there either own or have the intention of buying the game.

I would make a "got to get a 3DS client first" joke but that would make me a massive hypocrite due to how much time I've sunk into Fire Emblem this week

Haha, poor jshackles is going to be kicking himself if Lego Indy is a featured deal.

I'm hoping with the Grim Fandango Remaster and earlier Steam sale, Disney might have seen the light, albeit through squinted eyes but baby steps (Split/Second would be nice but not in a million years is that happening, we'd probably get a PC Disney Infinity first)

 

[Rhaknar]

morning gaf, whats the happenings?

First Lego Pirates, then Split/Second.

 

[Dr Dogg]

First Lego Pirates, then Split/Second.

Hahaha shit how did I forget that. And makes more sense as even you would play Lego Pirates and to be fair anyone buying Split/Second it would be essentially a +1. In fact isn't that locked to 30fps as well?

 

[Sub Zero]

So what's the deal with LEGO Star Wars (and Lego Indie). Do both Disney and WB hold publishing rights? That would somehow explain why the games never go on sale or why LEGO Star Wars isn't included in the SW Collection

Yeah, seems so:

Capped at 30 fps.

No fixes are mentioned, either.

WB has nothing to do with those. They're entirely published by LucasArts (well, Disney now, more or less). WB publishes Lego Marvel because Disney backed out of its video game-related endeavours save for Infinity, IP licensing opportunities, and pre-existing distribution setups (hence why LucasArts' games didn't disappear following the acquisition).

 

[zkylon]

after spending most of my wallet money on witcha 3 i think this is gonna be a relatively quiet sale for me

there's not much i want that's gonna be at the price i want it to be anyways but here's hoping for a few nice surprises

 

[Dr Dogg]

So what's the deal with LEGO Star Wars (and Lego Indie). Do both Disney and WB hold publishing rights? That would somehow explain why the games never go on sale or why LEGO Star Wars isn't included in the SW Collection

If you look at the publisher on the Star Wars and Indy games the publisher is LucasArts so it's there call when and if they get a discount. The others I think are all published by Warner Bros, even Marvel Super Heroes.

Fake Edit: And of course JaseC beats me to the punch.

Yeah, seems so:

No fixes are mentioned, either.

A racing game at 30fps makes me sad. Deffo +1 fodder.
