ME2 is pretty good, and you can refund games on Origin now.

Well, it should be noted how the "Great Game Guarantee" works:

Full game digital downloads (PC/Mac) published by “Electronic Arts” (collectively Electronic Arts Inc. if you reside in the United States, Canada or Japan and EA Swiss Sarl if you reside in any other country) and purchased on the Origin Store (Origin.com and purchases within the Origin gaming application) may be eligible for a refund if we receive your request within the earlier of: (i) seven (7) days from the date of purchase, (ii) seven (7) days from the game’s release date if you pre-ordered/pre-purchased or (iii) twenty-four (24) hours after the first time the game is launched or run. For full game digital downloads that are part of a bundle, the twenty-four (24) hour time period begins as soon as one game within the bundle is launched. Once a refund is issued, you will no longer have access to the game. To request a refund, visit your Order History and select the “Request a Refund” link next to any eligible product. Complete and submit the Refund Request Form. You will get a response within forty-eight (48) hours after your request is submitted and your refund within seven (7) to ten (10) days if you meet the Great Game Guarantee refund requirements.

It's designed to cater to people who experience unresolvable or otherwise annoying technical issues, not those who didn't do their research and later decide they don't like a game.

On a side note, I need to get back to Typing of the Dead. I'm so bad at this game, glad that there are two modes but I'm going to test some of the DLC since I have them all. The story is one of those that it's so cheesy that it gets good due the amount of silliness.

We should team up to finish the last stage since that is where I last stopped and haven't bothered to finish it in months XP

...but I lazily just boot up League of Legends and suffer losing 3 Ranked matches in a row =_=

After reading about JaseC misadventures with AC saves, I tried using GSM, but this all the program does for me every time I try to start it:
jUP.png

so I've given up trying to use it.

Turn off Applocale.

If you play a lot of Japanese games, you probably have this set to Japanese.

that's a surprisingly tame abuse of power

Mods can't set the tags of other users so I couldn't abuse my power even if I wanted to. ;) I could follow in the footsteps of Mike Works and change every thread title to something Saoirse-related, though. :p

If I ever become a mod, I'm going to make this my tag and link it to the gif of Saoirse shrugging.

Knowing you you'd have thousands of Saoirse shrugging GIFs...you should make the link randomly show a different GIF each time.

...I don't know what my tag would be outside of 'Crazy Blind Optimistic Forever BELIEVING Psychopath'

I've just checked, paypal is not refundable, lame.

i was thinking along of doing something creative with the logo but your thing's cool too
 
Does Battlefield 2 get into steam sales? Anyone remember from last times? This is my first sale, so sorry.
After having fun with bf3 I'd like to have sth similar at native res wit 60fps for once :/

Also, is there any place to buy battlefield 2142? It's not on steam and on origin. The other ones in the series are though, so I think I'm looking at the wrong places.

Reasking from a couple days ago.

Allow me to remind you guys and gals that were now 4 days away from the Summer Sale.

I already have my 50 regular Mysterious Cards and need just a further ~$11 to buy a set of foils. I should be able to get to that point using drops.

During Steam's larger sales (Summer/Autumn/Winter) virtually everything on the store receives a general discount and Battlefield in particular is likely to be a featured franchise sale.

Nope. EA's killing online support at the end of the month as it can't be bothered patching out GameSpy (or more accurately, it's trying to push people to the more modern entries).

Can we even play old Battlefields now?

Yeah. They'll be playable come July, too -- it's just that there'll be no master server, so you'll have to connect to server IPs directly.

Sometimes I feel like the only person in the Steam thread who doesn't do anything with his cards, has never crafted a badge, and doesn't care about them.

But think of all the hats you could buy with card money! :p

Edit: Speaking of hats, Wolf14's should be marketable by now. Flip that switch already.

The Mario Kart 8 thread is the only other thread I've seen on the first page that's exceed 10K posts...and that must be within less than a week lol.

I made a LTTP for this game some months ago.
While I didn't like the graphics, the voice acting is superb.

Yeah, the graphics don't quite mesh too well in the game, which is a shame. The hand drawn environments and cutscenes look great though. Some of the hand drawn stuff I could imagine sticking up on my wall as a poster, it's so good.

The voice acting is definitely a stand out. Good soundtrack too.

Oh yeah, bf2 is on my watch now. Next week I hope it'll be there.

Sad thing with bf2142. Why won't they offer the game like bf2 which is losing online support, too? Read from a lot of people that it's a very good game in the series.

Thanks jasec, also how come so many prominent steamgaf-members got tags and one of the biggest - you - don't?
Are you a valve-employee and are prohibited?

All I can to say that is, "EA gonna EA." :p

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Haha, if only. I'd have my sweet, precious Wheelman... and every other game I've missed out on. (The Steam Master sub was purged of all third-party content a month ago, but I assume Valve employees can still add games to their accounts manually if they so desire.)

Right now, I'm seriously considering using my Steam money for either Mario Kart 8 or Fire Emblem: Awakening instead. Welp, decisions decisions.

mmos are perfect fr slumps (hell, why I play marvel so much I guess) but I hated both times I tried the Wildstar beta. which is a shame because I love the art style... maybe I should try one of those 7 day guess passes, see if on live anything changed. I doubt it tho...pretty sure a friend of mine had some passes
Well I didn't really like it too much when I tried it in the beta, but then again I didn't really give it much time. I've mostly been playing the pvp the past 2 or 3 days and I've been really enjoying it. The questing seems a bit of a chore if you're solo. That's probably it's biggest downfall.

Go with whatever you're going to get the most mileage out of in the immediate future. There's always the Autumn Sale in November.

But that day's never going to co--oh, right. :(

He's only given away bundlegames, so he is not as awesome or even in the same league as the rest of us.

Kidding. JaseC, you kick ass

Yeah. I just can't stop being just a little bit excited about my first Summer Sale. But again, I only have €65 for it. And I have more than 300 games in 2 months, yet I have only completed Max Payne 3, Shelter, Dear Esther and The Plan.

If I could just get the following, I would be happy. Any chance for discounts on these?:

- Always Sometimes Monsters
- Rust
- Banished
- Sir, You Are Being Hunted
- DreadOut
- Skyrim
- Dishonored
- Call of Duty 2
- Dreamfall
- Resident Evil 4
- Anno 1404

And then a bunch of indies. I guess those would be the big ones for me.

my guess that you'll probably be able to get most, if not all, of the items in the list. these are pretty old games, so with the discounts it would be pretty easy to get them

Haha, you do actually have a point, but even so those two big key dumps weren't cheap. I don't particularly care about not being tagged, though: if it happens one day (or I'm in the position to give myself one), great, but otherwise it's of no concern to me.
 
I'm amazed I held off on buying State of Decay. I hovered the mouse over the button so many times, but somehow, I showed restraint.

Gotta get through that backlog first, and I'm too busy playing 3DS anyway. :lol

I received a -33% coupon for DreadOut a couple of weeks ago so I'd say that's what it'll be discounted by if it happens to show up as a featured deal.

How do I let Modbot know about Desura keys?

Just put Desura in the name, e.g. Best Game Ever becomes (Desura) Best Game Ever.
