Far cry 2 is great.

 

[Nzyme32]

Nier Automata isn't at the top of Steam's Global sellers list. This of course is likely due to it not actually being available globally. Meanwhile, it is top of the UK steam list. Good on the UK folk picking good choices rather than some of the other survival crap

 

[Ban Puncher]

Do I get the NieR: Automata pre-order bonus Valves if I buy outside of Steam?

 

[Pachimari]

Far cry 2 is great.

Ningen gets it. Far Cry 2 got the best atmosphere and attention to detail.

 

[Xanathus]

Anyone know what game this Steam App ID is? I see someone on my friend's list playing it.

edit: doh someone in the comments of steamdb says it's PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds

 

[JaseC]

Do I get the NieR: Automata pre-order bonus Valves if I buy outside of Steam?

Yeah, Amazon, GMG and Humble are all advertising it.

 

[Ludens]

Do I get the NieR: Automata pre-order bonus Valves if I buy outside of Steam?

Yes if it's the Day 1 Edition. In example you get them if you buy on Humble.

 

[Ban Puncher]

Cool. Thanks.


Hey, wait a minute - it's not cheaper anywhere else. I've been played by Big Video Game.

 

[Rizzi]

This is incorrect.

 

[Hero Prinny]

if only cdkeys sold Nier.

 

[Nzyme32]

Hmm...

I'm very seriously considering getting a GPD Win. My only concern is where to get it from when in the UK and what battery life people actually get / if the battery is replaceable.

i would like so much something like gpd win, maybe with also android, but not gpd win, cause i see that the buttons arent very good

Maybe a GPD XD? It isn't Windows based, is a fair bit cheaper and slightly lower spec but is good for emulation up to PSX and Dreamcast (in most cases).

 

[Nillansan]

It would be wonderful if Square Enix could release some more information regarding the PC port of Nier Automata. I tried to reach out to the community manager that posted the pre-order announcement on Steam. No dice as of yet.

 

[Aaron D.]

Far cry 2 is great.

Not only the best Far Cry.

Also the best sandbox FPS to date.

who actually buys this stuff? An empty game box?

https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B06XMXLK1Y/

It's £15...
And it's the 13th best selling video game item on Amazon UK

 

[ThirtyFour]

My hard drive has packed in it seems. Was looking at which of my games have cloud saves and Dark Souls 3 does not.

That's kinda killed my desire to play the upcoming DLC...

wonder how many people bought it by mistake thinking it includes the game.

we need to somehow convince valve that they have to enforce cloud support.
I had two hard drives die close to each other and I found out a very hard way that games not having cloud saves shouldn't exist anymore.

It's so weird when the first game has cloud save but the other two don't.

I know some people who buy them because they want to go digital but still want the box to put on their shelf to signify that they own it. But it being the 13th best selling video game item on Amazon UK is a really weird thing :/

interesting...could i play 2d steam games such as darkest dungeon? android games? tnx

It isn't Windows based, so no.

 

[Dragon1893]

The lack of Metro and Bioshock suggestions is disturbing.

But the real winner is Wolfenstein. Personally, I found it a better game than Doom.

Was about to say this. You have failed, steamgaf.

Same. I'm super addicted to BF1 right now. But the shotguns are just too op (which I countered by using shotguns myself) and the grenade spam can get pretty annoying.

I just love that we are back in a World War setting again. I've missed that since Call of Duty 2.

 

[AHA-Lambda]

Finished the first episode of Stories Untold.

Yeah, I'm pretty heavily intrigued now

that guy who burn his games into dvds and print out covers

oh yeah... =/

 

[Tizoc]

Ty 2 is coming to early access!

That first "episode" is a remaster of the original free title "House of Abandon". The rest of the game is where things get really interesting! I love that game so much.

 

[Deleted member 98878]

The setting is definitely a big plus. Although I think the best Battlefield so far was the Vietnam DLC for BC2.

Could someone link me the chrome scripts + extensions for neogaf? My hdd crashed and I didn't have backups for them

 

[duppolo]

It isn't Windows based, so no.

so im still dreaming the hendheld of my dreams

Does it require anything from the devs themselves? If so I can understand why some indie titles wouldn't have it but Dark Souls 3 would be one of the first games I'd assume would have it.

It's so weird when the first game has cloud save but the other two don't.

I noticed that as well! I can't think of a reason From wouldn't bother putting it in for the other 2.

Far cry 2 is great.

And it's made even better by live musical accompaniment:

They probably will. Just be patient.

Every game is better when Nick is behind the controller. Everything goes wrong in the best ways possible.

This reminded me that I should probably use GameSaveManager more regularly for stuff like that.


Does anyone know if there's a way to automatially sync just those games without Steam Cloud support? Don't really feel like manually going through all games.

Metro is awful, that's why. Doing steam bros a favour.

at that time I had about 100 games installed in various levels of completion (one very close to 100% too with no cloud saves and I lost save of that game two times!), so managing saves was the last thing on my mind.
After all saves were lost, I have this rule of no more than 10 installed games, at least I try not installing new until I finish some of those installed.

 

[Wok]

You are like Rhaknar. 😝

My conclusion is different: never play a game without Steam Cloud support.

I'm probably gonna try and set a similar limit for myself going forward.

Losing the install on a bunch of games is kinda freeing.

 

[Knurek]

That's still a lot.
I only play 2-3 games at a time, one puzzle game and one other (and maybe third one on the phone).
And I'm not starting new ones until i'm done with the old.

 

[Tenrius]

Played through Stories Untold in one sitting. Really liked it overall, but it was a tad disappointing, especially towards the end.

Basically, episodes 1-3 are fantastic, but it all falls apart by part 4 (which also retroactively makes the other three worse). This is very subjective, but I didn't really care for the theme they went with, feels like it has been a bunch of times already (in movies, as well as some other prominent "adventure lite" games).

 

[gngf123]

The S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series.

Been playing this recently. S.T.A.L.K.E.R is something special.

 

[Pakkidis]

Call of Juarez Gunslinger is fantastic. Looks and runs super well, too.

I went in expecting nothing and walked away completely impressed on every level. The storytelling, by far, was the biggest suprise.

Call of Juarez series was a huge surprise for me as well. Knew nothing about the games going into it.

 

[Cth]

I have never skimmed through the 180 already available visuals of Cooked Served Delicious 2 on the official website. Some are very impressive.


A few others are a bit weird.

I need this game already

 

[PandaPedinte]

I mostly been playing Marvel 2016. I don't know why but these type of games always get me hooked.
