STEAM | June 2015 - Wait for the Steam Sale Thread You Bastards!

Probably on-board. I just pasted what Speccy told me, except the video card which is recognized as a family series and not a specific one.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
Just throwing this out there (though I don't think this applies to anyone here) but if you support Enhanced Steam through Patreon can you please make sure that your credit card on file with them is up to date?
From the $274.00 pledged this month, $131.00 was declined. That's almost half. It means I'm going to be paying for a few of Enhanced Steam's servers to be running over the summer sale out of my own pocket.
Also, a huge thanks to all of those people who continue to successfully support Enhanced Steam through Patreon - the servers that are in place now certainly wouldn't be possible without your help.

Right click the speaker icon at the bottom right of the screen on the taskbar, then choose playback devices. The one at the top of the list with the green tick is the one you are using

I wonder if those people ran into the same issue as me. My cards were canceled prematurely because the bank sent out the new chip versions. I had a couple Kickstarter charges fail because of that.

It was in the Humble Weekly Co-op 2 Bundle not too long ago and it was also in the IndieGala Monday Bundle 33.

I assume it has to be something like that because usually not that many of the donations fail. I also assume that Patreon sent out emails that the cards were declined, but I might follow up with a few people individually just so that they're aware.

Yeah, Kickstarter emailed me about it. That's actually how I figured out that my card had expired. I assume Patreon does the same.

Guess the Fairy Fencer dealio is getting hammered since clicking the apply button doesn't do anything on any of the browsers I have installed.

I don't remember half of the New Vegas mods I have installed. Went outside and I was blinded and subsequently killed by a giant sandstorm.

I so hope I get picked this time. Didn't have luck with Nep Nep 2. Probably didn't like my really old ass GPU. Here I thought that would make my specs more interesting...
Nice, hope I will get in this time.
They really need to fix the Nep2 icon though.
Edit: They just fixed it. Iffy lurking steamGAF confirmed

Offer a trade to get a badge ready for the summer sale
"You have 1 new item in your inventory"
Oho, is that what I think it is?
No. No it's not. Three 50% off coupons for Antisquad DLC. So....um...yeah, if anyone played Antisquad and decided they wanted more of it? Just let me know and I'll throw some coupons at you. But something tells me they're gonna expire in my inventory.

Nah, outside of the Pay 2 Win bullshit and map design, it isn't that bad a game to play.

Was thinking about picking up dlcs fop New Vegas before I begin my playthrough, turns out Bethesda is the new Activision.
bethesda has always pulled this shit tho
bethesda, 2k and acti are the biggest offenders

Me too. They're for separate DLCs. Unless you're saying you got nine?

I can't hold all these Antisquad coupons.
oh I didn't know they were for different DLCs as I didn't expect Antisquad to have multiple DLCs...

You got a tag! Congrats. Just days after I posted about it, haha. Mere coincidence? I think not!
Doesn't feel as great as I thought it would
On to the next 1000!
And you people should all buy "You Must Build A Boat"!
To think that tag is from numero 1000! How time flies by. Congrats yo!
Damn, can't even imagine bigger than that

Thanks for the heads up. Might as well apply.
Haven't gotten into any closed betas before, outside of Kickstarter related stuff.
I imagine they'll look for as wide variety of system configs as possible.

Never really seen anything about this game but what the heck, more anime is always good. Applied.

You Must Build a Boat is great if you liked 10,000,000. It's fundamentally the same game; a bit more complex but only just a bit.
In between that and Regency Solitaire it's been a good few weeks for casual games. Now I just need a new Artifex Mundi hidden object / adventure game to complete the trifecta.

Fun fact: with the exception of one 75% off sale on Fallout 3 DLC in summer 2014 (probably a mistake), separate DLCs for Bethesda games have not had equal sales to the main game / GOTY edition since 2013. They always put a smaller discount on DLC, making GOTY edition vastly cheaper than DLC separately. And there's no upgrade to GOTY option, of course.
Enough reason to not buy F4 at launch unless you can get it cheap from some other region, imo.

Finally finished The Witcher. What a ride.
It is a very solid RPG with an extraordinary good world filled with great, unique characters who actually feel real. It is definitely the driving force for me. Loved the mature themes, struggles and politics. It's a very interesting world which I absolutely want to learn and change further. Thankfully the next two games are already waiting for me
While The Witcher offers some very highs in certain parts, it sadly also has some mediocre parts which only feel that lesser compared to the great things. Combat, especially swordplay feels too passive. Thankfully the signs (magic spells) feel more direct and upon some leveling up therein are very good methods of spicing combat up. Personally ended up using only two signs, Ard and Igni, so I would have appreciated some more diversity in offensive spells but I just settled with what was offered and it still was plenty enjoyable.
Another very important aspect is alchemy. Despite what the game might tell you at the start considering it being not needed at easy difficulty, it absolutely is. Collecting herbs and other substances from carcasses was not too tedious. I still wished there was an option to map a hotkey to quick-loot.
The actual alchemic mixture of potions is a bit to convoluted and not very well displayed. Having the ability to disassemble herbs etc. into base alchemic ingredients would have been much better at helping better grasp potion mixing. There are only a handful of base ingredients but a lot more herbs etc.
The character leveling system is nicely split into four character stats, spells and swords. As much as I like having reign over detailed upgrade paths, I still believe splitting sword upgrades into six (!) separate groups was a bad decision. Having only two, Steel & Silver would have been better as it makes little sense having three paths for each stance (strong, fast, group) to divert scarce upgrade points into. In combat you mostly have to use each stance at various points of battle. Very often does combat start with a small group consisting of enemy types. Thus using group stance helps clear multiple enemies quickly leaving 1-2. And for those you select the appropriate other stance.
It is very clear that there are some very talented devs at CDPR which can absolutely create great RPG worlds where you quickly get invested in. Being their first game and taking the scope and various at times intricate mechanics into consideration, I can overlook reoccurring buildings, assets, dull animations and transitions. It sure would be appreciated elevating these issues in sequels though.
All in all I am glad that I listened to a friends advice and gave this fairly dated game a try. I am very positive that I wouldn't have enjoyed it as much (and forgiven its faults) after playing the much more popular sequels first.
I can't say that it is a game for everyone and also not that it might be worth the many hours it needs to get going. Getting accustomed to its flow and mechanics takes several hours. It doesn't help that the first levels aren't really that interesting and for me at least the middle became a pain courtesy of ever repeating locations (damn you Vizima!). But for those powering through, a very, oh so very great end third is waiting. Totally made stale sections worth powering through.

I didnt like Witcher 1 and felt it was too clunky.
Loved Witcher 2.
Kinda torn on Witcher 3 now, since there is so much to do and so little time

Didn't play 1 for more than 15 minutes so don't have feeling for it. Thought 2 was alright. Not bad but far from what I was hyped to believe. 3 on the other hand is pretty good. Basically what I thought 2 was going to be.

Not thrilled about Fallout:NV UE sale price.
Makes kinda sense since the big sale is just around the corner though.
Make it three then Bethesda and I'm in.

Dude. Your tag predates the conversation. That's why he said it, he noticed your tag.
