yeah like, it's a cool thing for them to do that maybe allows ppl like me to rest easy about selling the shit we make on our computers without the fear of being randomly audited or whatever (which happened at a place i worked at and costed them a ton of money)

that netcode isnt ggpo , its similar because it was based in what ggpo does like what capcom tried with Street Fighter x Tekken

Anybody with GTAV had issues with vsync after the last update or so? RivaTuner won't seem to cap the framerate anymore, and I have prerendered max frames set to 1 in Nvidia control panel.
In a shocking revelation Wikipedia has unsourced and incorrect information.
Yeah, I just googled about it a bit and indeed it seems that Double Helix developed their own rollback type code in-house.

Why though, people who use previews seem to like it.
Steam add refunds now? Great. And I bet people will still complaining.
Anyway, now there's 2 hours refund window, does that mean cards will start dropping after 2 hours? Any news about it so far?
And to people who want to take advantage of 2 hours refund window: just cut the crap, pirate it if you don't want to pay. Don't pretend you are smart gaming the system.

If they want to try and game the system, let them. They'll have the ability to refund fully stripped from them if Valve sees them abusing it. Problem Solved. Hope they enjoy a lack of refunds when they need it later

all my loli wolf companions are so moe
You can get refunds on unused gifts.
Ahh so it's on a separate page altogether. I thought a "refund" button would be in the inventory lol

If you can get refund on unused gifts, cant you just buy a 4pack, then get a refund for the other 3 games?
It seems somehow the system itself might still have some problems.

What do you mean lack of male characters? There's two.
Joke post? One is DLC. The other is a side character of one of the women characters.
And besides, that one that was DLC was added waaaaay later.
the game is called skullgirls
No shit. My critic isn't a knock against it, just not for me.
There's two that are DLC
Besides, remember when fighting games were all male but 2 female characters? Let women be the focus for once (even if heavily sexualised in some cases)
Everyone has sick moves and that's what matters :3

There were 0 males on the original roster.
I think there are two now, Big Band and Beowulf. Both were DLC.
I don't really understand the hate for a small roster of 9 girls for the original game. But hey, people like to get worked up over lots of things, so, y'know, whatever.

I can't get into any of the female characters. And I know that's ironic coming from someone that plays DOA which pretty much does the same thing as Skullgirls. Skullgirls' cast just... isn't appealing.
As isn't the art style.
I did download the beta to try Beowolf or whatever the spelling is: Interesting but I dunno if I'd pay $2.99 to play one character against a cast that I'm not really fond of. *shrug*
Still that netcode. WOW.

Yeah, I think this is pretty fair. However, anyone want to bet that in under 2 years, there's going to be a thread on GAF titled:
"Valve unjustly revoke my refund privilege"
>I tried dozens of games in under one week, I refunded them because all is crap. Now Valve revoke my privilige for refund. It's not my fault that Steam is filled with craps. Valve is a fucking anti-consumer money grab.
I bet 1 gem sack.
I guess a packaged games are treated as bundle. So, no.
What worries me is Steam Store Refund policy could potentially kill other store that sell Steam keys like GMG or HB.
I mean, how are they going to compete with Steam in refund area? Can 3rd party seller ask Steam to revoke a customer games if the said seller issuing refund?
Beo is free for a little while longer, all dlc chars are free for at least a month after they come out.
Edit: Read again, noticed you only mentioned the price of the discounted game and not a discounted char which probably means you're already aware.
My bad.
Even better

Beowulf is still free, I think.

There will always be a host of small but annoying issues that SP1 takes care of. Random driver incompatibilities, etc. The new DX is a very nice cookie to encourage people to upgrade early, but even that is bound to have some pretty major bugs when it goes wide-release.
It's less of an issue that it used to be; Sp1 for Win7 was actually pretty small. Although if you think of Win8.1 as essentially the SP1 for Win8 that was a pretty significant improvement. SP1 made *massive* fixes to XP and Vista (shudder).
I guess if someone is on something pre-8.1, then upgrading right away might not be a bad idea. But 8.1 is in a very nice stable space right now, so why not let someone else iron out all the final bugs for the first 3-6 months or so of release?
The reason why 8.1 was so important was because the idiot tablet wankers at Microsoft got the upper hand and made an OS that was a giant leap backwards for the PC, so they needed to fix it to gain some kind of parity with where they'd left off with 7.
Sure, there'll probably be important changes in 10.1, but the difference/importance will be a lot smaller than it was with XP, and let's just not mention the big V =p

Yeah, but playing against a cast that I don't really care for, though. :/
Anyway, dropping it. Skullgirls netcode: Best on Steam. Rest of the game: Not for me.
More so the reason to beat them to a pulp!
Sorry but that was just asking for it, I'll drop it xD
It's not that bad.
Lyrics to the Megadeth song Kingmaker?
Children of the Grave by Black Sabbath
The main riff is Iommi gold.
Bad in terms of what? Gameplay? It could be a lot worse. Same repetitive stuff, really. Reminded me of IV some.

yeah... nice...
Five Nights at Ezio's?
It's another Assassin's Creed game with much more things to do, but worse combat.
Can't be as bad as AC3's combat system. I mean Unity brought back the four button/counter system yeah?
Uh.
It's been the on the house for over a month now, I think.
Edit: Yeah, april 28th.

Lol, a friend told me it's a new one.
Last I remember, it was Syndicate back in February. Oh well..
Well, counters are more like basic parries rather than kill moves. You have to keep attacking and switch up between a heavy attack, shoulder charge, or dodge depending on what kind of enemy you're fighting. Once their health is low enough, they get into a kill state that lets you finish them off. You can also force it a bit earlier if you hold the attack button down while their health is at a certain level.
It's not too different, really, except all the animations make the combat feel incredibly unresponsive. Mix that with enemies that have more health and do a bit more damage, and you get a game that feels needlessly slow.

You can also get Amazing Adventures - The Caribbean Secret if you go to the same page with a VPN from Australia and I think Europe. I had to use an American VPN to get Ultima.
