Support NeoGAF

[BinaryPork2737]

This site is full of lies. For example, it told me that Kairo is 3-4 hours long, I've played somewhere around 5 hours, I don't see the ending in sight, so to speak, not that I mind it, I happen to like it more than I thought I would.
I checked some others and compared with my play times, it doesn't compute. It must be said, that if I like the game, I take my time to explore it thoroughly and not to miss any juicy details, so my playtimes are longer usually, but still. For example it says that Skyborn full playtime is 9 hours, that's bullshit, seriously. I'm 100% sure that I missed some stuff as I backtracked very little, and later I passed no return point without noticing it and thought wth and just finished it promptly after that, my timer says 15 hours, granted I leave games sometimes to post or for other reasons and I forget I left them, but still, I simply don't believe that it can be fully finished with all side stuff in 9 hours.
And so on and so on.
Some more popular games are evaluated in playtimes more or less fairly, especially longer ones. So it's not all bad, just has to be my luck that I stumbled on those that are questionable.

Yeah, howlongtobeat.com is filled with times all over the place in terms of reliability. It's even worse for me since I take a very long time to finish most games, especially RPGs. HLTB's times are more of a wild estimate than anything, other than games that are highly popular since more users provide times in order to get an average closer to the real average.

Wut.....WHAT!?

Is this a touch phone/pad game?

PC

 

[C4rter]

Either hit the "Install" button from a web browser (not Steam itself; may have no effect) or opt out of the beta client (will definitely work).

So it's a Steam Beta issue? I'm using the Beta.
If I hit the "Install" Button from a web-browser, they just offer me to download Steam.

I think I'll opt out of Beta, try to add it to my game list with the regular version, and opt back in.

How do I deactivate/remove people from family sharing?

 

[Arthea]

The site operates 100% on user-submitted input. Some game times are more accurate than others, simply because they have more users that have submitted their own times.

The best way to improve the site is to submit your own times when you complete a game.

100%? Oh, I thought they get some estimated of times from devs. I should have researched it better. Now it all makes sense! I might even register in there, to do just that, to add some realism to some of those times. (><)

 

[JaseC]

I want to buy mafia 2 from amazon.com. its on sale for $7.49 now

In the description it says the key will only work in north america. Is that true or do they just write that to scare us europeans off from buying ?

A couple of 2K games on Amazon are region-locked and Mafia 2 is one of them.

AllowPurchaseFromRestrictedCountries Yes
PurchaseRestrictedCountries US CA PR MX

The way AllowPurchaseRestrictedCountries works is:

No = users in the listed countries cannot redeem a key (i.e. everybody else can)
Yes = users in the listed countries can redeem a key (i.e. everybody else can't)

Obviously you can get around this with a VPN.

One of my mates makes use of it. South Park wouldn't show up for him at the time so he turned his attention to Age of Wonders 3 instead. Lately he's just been playing World of Tanks, though.

that's some revolutionary way to hunt, you should patent it or something.

Is the new Delirium Bundle from BundleStars super worth it?

 

[RionaaM]

Sniper Elite V2 will be FREE on Steam for 24 hours only within this week starting today.

Grabbed it, thanks a lot for the hint!

holy shit that's a full rainbow all the way

 

[RavenValor95]

Oh man, Far Cry 2.
That game can be so glitchy at times, and surprisingly funny.

A lot of times with the explosive crossbow you get I would blow up a car and the car would go up into the sky only to then land right on top of me and kill me.

Far Cry 2 is such a good game to play in iron-man mode since it makes it waaayy more intense, but with moments like when you get killed by a car falling on top of you, it can be really annoying lol.

Tell me about it. I hit the 1400 marks yesterday and it seems I had 1300 @May 23rd.

I probably won't watch it. I'd rather just go in more or less blind as I did with Black Flag.

 

[BinaryPork2737]

I imagine the cat is actually pushing the hand towards the keyboard, since the image should obviously say "it's time to keep buying"

 

[Dr Dogg]

Woot, ordered a Ti for $560 so that should last me a bit. Hopefully Nvidia doesn't announce the 800 series tomorrow

What a780Ti for $560? That's bloody cheap. I've been eyeing up a couple of Gainward 6gb vanilla 780s to swap out with my bog standard 3gb references ones and they're more expensive than that each.

Unless the 800 series cards bring much more VRAM on them I think it's a better bet to wait for the 900 series where performance and VRAM will be higher. Plus it's looking like early next year and the very earliest anyway.

yeah im sure it's very surprising and different and new

no

I approve of this attitude. If you like franchise and know more or less what to expect, what's the point in watching anything? It's way better to be surprised by things not expected than a game to be spoiled by media.

AMAZING. Cheers to you, sir, you are a credit to your namesake.

Is the new Delirium Bundle from BundleStars super worth it?

Not really. It only had two games I haven't seen in a bundle before and they weren't worth $4+.

I'm most fond of Renaissance Italy. I'd love for a current-gen entry to return to the period, free of the shackles of the PS360.

I approve of this attitude. If you like franchise and know more or less what to expect, what's the point in watching anything? It's way better to be surprised by things not expected than a game to be spoiled by media.

Yeah, I binged on Uncharted 2 media prior to release and was disappointed when the game rolled around and I realised I was already familiar with virtually all of the game's locations. Ever since then I've at the most just dipped my toes here and there.

Is DmC on sale or in a bundle or sth? Bceause Many peopleare posting about here and even playfire made playfire rewards for it (generally Playfire makes rewards for sth on sale)?

speaking of DmC I need to play that Vergil DLC, bought it a while ago

no colored enemies make me happy

Is DmC on sale or in a bundle or sth? Bceause Many peopleare posting about here and even playfire made playfire rewards for it (generally Playfire makes rewards for sth on sale)?

It was on sale on GMG last week, but the Playfire rewards came from their Head-2-Head voting, which don't really seem connected to anything in terms of sales.
