Things were going great until YOWH spammed the room number. Since then it's gone to shit.
Yeah. Valve should've made HL3 instead.
I'm at 90 million now and under 3 hours. This will be a close finish.
They've been doing that for 15 years, they'll probably manage.
It's fine, don't worry =)
I've also realised that some people misuse WH simple because their game is out of sync but yeah some are purposely using them to skip the X00s.
Thanks for your impressions, a couple of those games look suprisingly good.
you should have stayed true to your words, I could respect that, now you just one of us, desperate people that are not getting the wormhole badge even while cheating.
so you admit to using a script?

Yeah, Grim Dawn is the real deal. I've played a lot of loot ARPG's, Grim Dawn just feels right.
So no more dailes/flashes? I wanted some deep Pinball FX2 discounts.

The game will be available for 2 more days. Try to join a YOWH room once it gets reset. I'm joining and trying to help people get the badge.
are you sure it will be?
Because if it will, we should all hang in one group, we really should, that makes our chances better than joining random groups. I joined 3 reddit groups doing really well at the start that were left behind so fast so hard it's not even funny.
We should wait staring it about an hour in, tho, that we all get into one. How's the plan?

Does Nuuvem not sell Capcom games anymore either? No DMC4SE
I think they updated the FAQ and it says the game can be played unitl the 22nd.
Yesterday I joined reddit room 47030, it's barely over 40M. Then I switched and finally made it. They seem to get more trolls, specially in the 1st rooms.
Are you online on Steam?
yea, I'm in a game, room 47010, that has no wormholes left to speak about since yesterday, just my luck

I have no wh left either, but there are no other games around this level I could join, and not much point either, maybe today will be a better day

There aren't 1500 of us to fill a room. Best bet YOWH rooms a this point.
Bet I'd imagine they'll be trolled hard today
Halp, guise, I need some advice before I go nuts.
Side note #1: I don't actually browse/use the Steam client often, but sometimes I do since I'm already there using the group chat, so I don't bothe ropening Steam in my browser instead because it's めんどくさい.
Side note #2: The only software known to potentially interfere with Steam I use is Skype, and this problem also happens when I don't have Skype running.
Clicking links inside the Steam client often (most of the time) doesn't work. Instead of being clicked, it just marks itself as if some script refuses to run properly.
I've tried reinstalling 2 times, and the only way to fix it (temporarily) is to restart Steam. It's getting very annoying having to restart Steam to click stuff. I Googled, and couldn't really find anything helpful. :<
I am fully aware the Steam client is a piece of shit by default, but I was hoping some of you would have some advice. Also, this happens anywhere. Profiles, Store, market, etc. Anywhere inside the client, except the main menu (which I guess because Steam is basically just Steam web inside a client, so it wouldn't affect the main menu). It's pretty fucking annoying and I'm losing my patience. ._.

There are some registry fixes at the bottom of this page which may help in the event that reinstalling isn't properly tinkering with the registry values.
If you're running a 64-bit OS like most usually are these days, you'll have to perform both fixes.

is it possible to buy a $10 steam wallet card somewhere?

Same. I lost track of things. A blackhole without and an end.
I actually might play a game instead.
Welcome and congrats on your new PC! Mighty nice isn't it?
Awful re-design at nuveem. Old style was more useful for me.
Watched some Hammerwatch. Looks neat.
Nice, your speed reviews!
Watched several reviews and looks like it's fairly early in development and not much to do really. But you have to keep in mind that early access games usually get more expensive with time.

Didn't people say yesterday there won't be any and just encores?
Is that what screwed us? The trolls are terrible.
I was looking around last Xmas, $5 or $10 for my niece, couldn't find any, if anybody will stumble upon something like this, kindly let us know

Given that there are no more milestone unlocks for new games...given that today is the 20th and the last day of the sale is the 21st...I'd say it's a pretty safe bet it's just encores today.

Can someone explain what happens in an encore sales?
Will the games that's on summer sale won't be on sale anymore, just the encore games on sale?
freshVeggie
Member
But not every past I think. Only select ones.
Correct me if I'm wrong.

Ok.
But other games (that are not in encore) will still in summer sale status for another day, right?

Go on the store pages and look at the dates/countdowns to be sure.

Yes.
not really select ones, but bestsellers, at least I thought so

Ah, right.
I kinda forgot that there's a timer for each games. It seems that they'll end in the 22nd, it'll be safe to hold on for another deals.
Thanks!

Awesome if it's a ZombiU port. Read it bombed hard on WiiU.
Looks neat and it's only better to be non-exclusive.
sucks for people with small SSDs
Speed gaming - Beat Em up Edition. Which im a huge fanboy of, the genre that is,so biased opinions inc.
Aces Wild: Manic Brawling Action - Hey ever wanted to play a 2d version of those crazy platinum games fight scenes? Now you can... kinda. Game is stuck in a 2d plane, and you can dash around freely, including in the air (basically you can fly) while button mashin your way through dozens of enemies with very anime-esque combos. The problem is, it doesnt seem to have any structure, you just go from room to room filled with enemies, it never feels like a coherent level. Nor does there seem to be a way to regain life, when you die you restart in the "room" you were in with a -1 counter, whatever that means. I wish it did more for me, as the gameplay seemed fun, but the game around it not so much. Probably better in 2 player co-op, but then again, that goes for any beat em up I guess.
Dungeons: The Eye of Draconus - Essencially a Golden Axe homage, with a comedy twist that rarely works. The game itself seems neat, if a little (a lot?) repetitious (much like Golden Axe). The heroes have a few simple combos, your usual jumping and dash attacks and a special. Thats about it. I really like the art style, and the gameplay is fine if simple. It gets slammed on steam but I enjoyed the first level, and hey, the magic guy special summons a fire breathing chicken (there are mounts, again like golden axe lol) and when the chiken dies, you can eat it for health. Just for that it gets high praise from me lol. The "humour" is awful tho. Supports up to 3 player co-op.
Dungeons & Dragons: Chronicles of Mystara - Easily one of the best of the kind ever, a port of the arcade classics Tower of Doom and Shadows of Mystara, 6 classes to choose from, lots of moves, multiple paths, 4 player co-op, some rpg mechanics, just a great beat em up top to bottom. Port has a few filter and view options (arcade view complete with cabinet son!) and the Capcom achievement thingie they did for Third Strike and shit, with various goals while you play. Kinda neat. Awesome game.
Double Dragon Neon - Oh this is a remake? Alright. Surprising amount of new systems, special moves that you collect and level up, passive effects, the fighting itself actually has some nice things like a dodge that buffs up your damage if you suceed. The 3d look is a little iffy but it works (characters are a tad big tho), and the gameplay is a little janky but overall this seems like a cool remake. Music seemed shit tho :/ Seemed very much worth the 80% off it is at the moment.
Sacred Citadel - Seems to be the more story focused one, with more cutscenes and dialgue stuff. Also has a level up system, you can pick up or buy different weapons, equip crystals to buff your stats, all in all seems to have a little more going for it. Plus I love the art style. 4 classes, 3 player co-op. Also everyone and their mother probably has this one because it was in that deep silver humble bundle with saints 3 and shit.
Banzai Pecan The Last Hope for the Young Century - Amazing title aside this seems pretty fucking bad. Shame because the art is cute and the moves look flashy, but it plays like shit, the writing is horrible and the whole thing just feels janky in a bad way. Also, being stuck in a 2d plane sucks.
So from quick first impressions I would say Dungeon and Dragons > Sacred Citadel > Double Dragon Neon > Dungeons: Eye of Draconus > Aces Wild > Banzai Pecan

if any of you want to buy some gems, now it would be perfect time, I think, they won't go much lower and price will go up after the sale, again I think so.
now onto foils market. It's totally utterly dead by this point. I haven't sold cheap foils even at the sale time, that speaks volumes.
So I thought what Valve could do to reinvigorate that market. I think the best solution would be to increase a foil badge exp significantly. Gemifying them isn't worth it and they don't sell. I don't see what else is to do here. If for example foil badge would give 500 xp instead of giving regular 100 xp, that might make people to buy them again, that means more money for valve. Everybody wins.

Double Dragon Neon is surprisingly good, the controls seem clunky at first and it really is on the slow side, but once I got used to the timing there's a really nice flow to it and it works, and it works surprisingly well and was pretty fun as a remake of an oldschool beat'em'up.
It seems to have gotten a lot of negative reactions from reviewers and some gaffers too if I remember correctly.

Right now the cheapest DMC4:SE PC version is $18.75 at GMG after using their 25% off voucher code...at least as far as I've seen
i just present my opinion, it's fine if you don't agree
some more context below
really?
i'd say the shooter part was pretty terrible, while the conversations and some of the c&c saved it, specially since the cast of companions was pretty damn cool
it's an alright game, but i still enjoyed the first one much more, a lot more ambitious with a better put together story (it actually has an antagonist for one, the reapers are actually a, scary cool mystery in me1, and it's not dumb as balls lol) and i like exploring the galaxy. even if the mako was shit to handle, i loved how that game had the universe filled with tons of sidequests tied to other sidequests or the background story or some decision you made or your companions, or even visit a planet for a bleep of cool lore.
just way more exciting imo than cheesy pulp sci-fi story from me2, or fan-fiction gone awfully wrong from me3
me2 had good moments (everything mordin, specially) and characters, so i guess saying it's "alright" is a bit unfair, but removing all space travel was a big letdown for me, the story imo is pretty damn terrible, and the shit they pull on the arrival is ugh (
no, the shepard i crafted for hundreds of hours wouldn't randomly agree to genocide because of really poorly written and obviously rushed in the name of "grittiness" reasons
They probably won't do that, cause they'd rather you buy games from Steam than from someone else.
you know that's not gonna happen, that's like being extra punished for buying a game on steam.
I'm sure they won't change existing system because it's easy to maintain, no additional work needed as any other way would require and also it solves they main problem, people getting cards and refunding games.
I won't even bother to complain, this was bound to happen: I knew it, you knew it, everybody knew it.
What I wish for, that devs now would consider making their drop times shorter, we already have to wait two hours for any cards to drop, why torture as even more? Who even plays one game for hours to no end?
