So Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition has been on sale and selling reasonably at that, which indicates to me the game is not going away in the foreseeable future. Let's say it moves over to Steamworks. Will the achievements port over as well, or will you need to start from scratch?
Game on sale weeks before it gets pulled?

No, he probably wants to save 5 euro by having someone buy it for him from the US and then paypaling him the money. Or he is just begging for it

Rules:
1. Choose a game that you think is worth watching out for in June that is on Steam.
2. Write about it, 60+ words would be great, feel free to go over it.
3. Send me a PM with what you have written.

Capcom hasn't announced anything. Registry gleanings + someone thinking to try their GFWL key on the off chance that it would already work.

Thanks.

I also want to thank you for being a great source of information over the many Steam threads. I've been reading GAF since 2008 and the Steam threads have sort of become my home. So it was only appropriate that I was going to screw up my first post here.

I'm debating whether to start playing now or after the inevitable (?) move.

Save files may or may not be compatible. Worst case scenario someone will come up with a hex editor to force compatibility.

I'm looking forward to starting from scratch and earning all the achievements. I will probably get a small GAF group together to get the Rare Weapons achievement.

38€ is very cheap imo. Hope he is safe.

Edit: Out of stock. Hrmf.

It is avaiable, but it is cheaper in USA.

The way you worded it sounded like you wanted someone to just give you a copy of Watch Dogs.

Haha, no. :p

Just use a VPN

Using VPN to buy games ain't allowed, mate.

GFWL saves should be compatible following a little bit of fiddling.

Thanks.

Ubi did update the unlock times... to the chagrin of everybody. Instead of the game unlocking worldwide on the 26th at 10am PT, the unlock dates are now:

AU/NZ: 2 days and 7 hours
America: 2 days and 14 hours
Europe: 2 days and 18 hours
Asia (excluding HK, JP and TW) and Europe: 2 days and 18 hours/3 days and 3 hours
Hong Kong, Japan and Taiwan: 1 month, 5 days and 3 hours

Oh gods! Middle East is getting unlocked in 3 days 1 hour. We're late by a day.

very impressed by steam streaming so far... took a bit of effort to get stuff moved around so that it could be wired in but i think it will get a ton of use. i'm able to leave the resolution at 1080p for most games and get good performance. and for other games, any slowdown has been fixed by changing to my laptops res of 1366x768.

can you change dark souls res in game or should you do it through DSFix?

Was about to post that. With all the doom and gloom about the changes regarding Steam and indies, there are still success stories.

Hmm, maybe I'll go this route. Add me to your group if there's room. I'm loving the hell out of Dark Souls 2 (nearly to NG+) and can't wait to see what I missed the first time around.

It totally deserves it. I'm not too fond of RPGmaker games but Always Sometimes Monsters is fantastic and definitely my indie GOTY for 2014 so far

Excellent! It's really one of the best and boldest games I've ever played, and at a time when much of the discourse around gaming centers around things like resolution, graphical downgrades, and the "next generation," it's awesome to see that I'm not the only person who bought an RPG Maker game about how hard life can be.

I don't think there's anything for the next couple of months I'm that interested in let alone June. I might PM you something gushing about one of two games I've played in May depending which one I get finished by the end of the weekend. How many words roughly? Don't want to take up the OP and front page by banging on :p

Worms Pinball is indeed a fun little game, I especially like how they used the sound effects from the original Worms games on the flipper table.
Only thing that irritates me is that the Steam Community Hub is full of Ecchi images and the only guide available is in Japanese oO

My Street Fighter IV AE GFWL key doesn't redeem on Steam... does anyone know who I should contact about that?

Valve's not going to help since the key, strictly speaking, isn't supposed to work with Steam (yet) and Capcom's not going to help since it hasn't actually announced that the game is moving to Steamworks. You're just going to have to wait it out.

I would say the same as what people are posting in the OP, if it's a long post, I'll probably just quote and link to the whole thing.

SalsaShark: Do State of Decay mods disable achievements or leaderboards? I want to use the No Introduction mod, the gamma fix mod, and the Mt. Tanner Bridge repair mod, but I'd rather not use them if they impact leaderboards.
There's a mod that fixes the bridge? Why? You only need to go back there once and going around the bridge takes like 30 seconds...

Oh, BTW, hit 33 today. Here's to a good year all around.
WTF, I turn 33 tomorrow. Stop trying to be like me bro.

The game deserves it, it's a great game. I have the sneaking suspicion that a lot of the choices presented may just give you the illusion of choice, but it's a great game nonetheless.

The Steam tags can fuck right off. "RPGMaker Garbage, SJW Garbage, Get off steam." I'm disappointed by the Steam community without even looking at its forums.

Yeah, I thought so. That's fine, though! I was mostly doing it to give to a friend since I have 2 copies, one on Steam and one I won beforehand. :)

Oh man how did so many people find the game in the pile of shit that is the Steam store? Did the dev possibly not just rely on people looking at the front page of steam to market his game??

Guys, does everyone know if Killer is Dead works in a 32 bit OS? The store page lists 64 bit OS as a requirement.

Yeah, I know I should upgrade, but I'll do that whenever I get a new rig, it's not worth it reinstalling everything at this point.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
You can tell how long someone has been on Steam if they complain about how there is too much on the storefront now.

I remember a time when Valve was literally the devil for not allowing point and click pinball games up. Well here is the alternative, asshole.

Either you give a motherficker like me control and Serious Sam games disappear overnight, or you have to express some self control and a little forethought before spending money.
Oh well. You still wrote what is my opinion.
What Stallion Free wrote = a joke.
Fantomena's opinion = what Stallion Free wrote.
