Never Alone has to be the 2D platformer with the worst controls in recent history. Aiming this boomerang thing with any accurancy is impossible with a controller (aiming and throwing mapped to one single analog stick is a brilliant idea!)...

Game is pretty glitchy as is, I'll just drop it. What a bummer, had pretty high expectations.

I used to look forward to new bundles of games from Humble, Indiegala, etc.


Now I delete their emails after skimming the topic.

I think HB is one I miss most, I went from buying almost every weekly bundle and every regular bundle, to buying one once in the blue moon, like almost never.

Ah Groupees, I had the brilliant idea buying this using a coin. Can't.

Yeah, they prevent using coins for everything that's could be worth using on.

why is FFIX so expensive

 

[Tizoc]

Would tou rather an announcement with nothing to show for it?

Owners: 151,577 ± 9,565

Nothing to show? It's a remaster lol, it doesn't even look drastically different from the PS2 version at 1080p in a emulator.

 

[Lain]

that's so weird. Have you tried contacting them yet?

Yep, sent an email to support but haven't heard back yet, probably because of time.

 

[spindoctor]

Bohemia Interactive just tweeted that the release date for the Arma 3 Apex expansion will be announced at the PC gaming show. So at least one good thing comes out of that.

Yo, if true that would be great.

Not a price mistake. A single game has a discount which brings the bundle price down a bit more.

That doesn't make much sense though.

Still doesn't add up, the discounted game is 0,59€ while the bundle is 0,43€.

I doubt it's mistake. These are same publishers that used to sell games at few cents.
They just figured out new way to do, since Valve adopted min price of $0,49 for regular sales.

Interesting....

I thought Be Mine was supposed to be the premiere Groupees bundle. This game looks like the developer just gave up a third of the way through

Or is it supposed to be one of those ironically broken Goat Simulator type games? I can't even tell. It has over 5000 positive reviews though...

it probably will come to PC much later, cuz SE

Neat. No question this will come to PC albeit at a later point. Somehow have a feeling much less later than FFX-X2 did.

Do companies make more money with console versions than on PC? That would be a reason I could comprehend why PC versions so often come at a later point.

are all steam bundles now gog style? Meaning games you have not included or still just selected ones?

not that we really know, some games sell better on PC than on consoles, but overall we are cheapos, you know
and there are much more games on PC now, so selling good is not that easy

I can't find a way to make Enhanced Steam show price info upon hover similar to how it works on wishlists.

You can simply sell all cards and remove it, if it bothers you.
EDIT: I got spoiled about an important thing involving Blood and Wine by reading a normal post in the B6W thread. Nice.

[madjoki]

No. It's opt-in option for new bundle system. Older "bundles" are actually packages that grant license to multiple games. (Bundles grant separate licenses for each package included).

Bundles that don't include that option, can't be bought if you own any part eg. http://store.steampowered.com/bundle/439/

 

[r3n4ud]

By most accounts I've heard, it's a legitimately fun game.

I didn't enjoy what I played. Then again, I only played coop and was still in early access.

Baby crawls to drink cleaning products or ingest batteries, dad tries to stop him. But there was no actual way for dad to stop him besides standing in his way. May give it another shot some time. Pretty sure I missed something.

 

[Tomasety]

Still doesn't add up, the discounted game is 0,59€ while the bundle is 0,43€.



Interesting....

Thanks to Madjoki for explaining it to me.

Now 1 game has a discount of 40% off = 0.59€.
The Price of individual products is 3.57€ (0.99 +0.59 + 1.99). 88% of 3.57€ => 0.43€

But, 3.97€ is the price of the bundle itself (3 games without discount).

89% off 3.97 => 0.43€

So this is how it works. The system strikes percentage number first and adjust it as the result of calculating the final price of the MSRP bundle price.

Hi all,

I have a quick question. If this isn't the spot to discuss this let me know. I'm one of the few souls left on planet Earth who does not own a smart phone/cell phone. I like it this way, but what I don't like is I can't use the Steam Guard Mobile Authenticator. I've seen others in the past discussing various ways to get around that and would like to know if there's been any other programs or developments recently that would help me to be able to use it without a smart phone. With the Steam Summer Sale approaching shortly I'd really like to be able to quickly trade and sell cards, ya know? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

It's a legitemately fun game. I'm surprised it's even getting bundled this soon considering how well it sold.

You move stuff, as well as put it a closet or drawer and lock it with a key to make impossible for the baby to reach it. You can also put baby protectors on electric plugs and so on.

Dreamfall Chapters got new achievements, so the Ep.5 release should be near.

https://twitter.com/ragso/status/708389190241804291?ref_src=twsrc^tfw

I'm curious, until now I found the game very boring, saving only chapter 1 and some things in and there.

It's a PC program which you can use as a Steam Authenticator.

I'm the same, though I do have a phone, it's secure due to work so no unauthorised apps. All the other options still seem to require the phone number.

it would be wise to add, that it's not a security solution but rather liability.

[freshVeggie]

There's always a risk, yes but it's apparently Open-Source and free to check for everyone knowing what to look for.

It has always been open-source allowing everyone to inspect and review the code. A binary is provided, but the source code is always released simultaneously so that you can review the code and build it yourself.

I don't know about programming, so I can't check the code for malicious content.

 

[Boss Doggie]

they're never gonna remove the requirements on selling an item while authenticating via steam mobile huh

 

[Arthea]

they're never gonna remove the requirements on selling an item while authenticating via steam mobile huh

of course! it's their solution to all customer support situation and a reason not to refund anything lost on hacked accounts.
They are not going to back down, unless we riot, and nobody will.

Spoiler

well, I would but ya

 

[alr1ght]

Surprised they haven't reversed course on it. Sales must have taken a huge hit because it's such a pain to buy/sell.

 

[Parsnip]

Catching up on some overnight news, yay FF12.

I wouldn't be entirely shocked if the PC version of FF12 Remaster would be announced at the same time as the Western PS4 release and had a simultaneous release.
