I just want a PC press conference. 2 hours of packed game demos and trailers - from AAA multiplatform games to exclusive games to indie standouts.

I'm still thinking that Valve might do something in that spirit very soon considering all the new stuff they are doing. I recall at dev days they said they don't particularly like conventions since they aren't really creating much value for people, so they decided to do dev days. If they were going to do some sort of consumer type thing surrounding steam, it would have to be done in some interactive format I guess, so perhaps not the typical conference

listen to the mad man
that worked

This issue has been happening quite a bit lately and I'm still trying to figure out why. Modbot gets the original PM and generates the giveaway, it just doesn't follow through to PM you back or post if you're doing it anonymously. I haven't been able to isolate the issue just yet. Sorry for the hassle.

I was gonna say thanks for Grimind but I got a duplicate product code error. Oh well.

If you're referring to my giveaway, it was fantomena who actually won it as per the edit to my post and the giveaway receipt. ModBot shouldn't have PM'd you.

No, he's referring to the anonymous giveaway. Something weird happened there. Postal should have had 2 entries, he claimed Grimind. Can't explain the duplicate product code though.

Also, why is Cabela's Hunting Expeditions the only game in the series thats only available in the USA?

It looks like the most interesting of the bunch... bought two others anyway, these games are the right stuff for a drunken night with friends :)

Whoops.

Oh, and I'd like to remind people that Leviathan has been greenlit and is due to release (hopefully) this summer. So feel free to check my thread out etc, you might have picked this game up during the Not On Steam sale a while back.
 
Enjoy

Gonna get Child of Light tomorrow, my Deluxe Edition arrived but the post office closes early on Saturdays lol.
 
Question about Wolfenstein: The New Order. We have:
Wolfenstein: The New Order without prices for Germany and Japan
and Wolfenstein: The New Order LV with only a german price mentioned.
Wich tells me that only the german version might be censored.

But I've just read that only the US version of the game was supposedly uncensored and it's uncertain whether or not the UK version will be uncut.

What is true now? And will it be possible to play the uncensored PC version in germany in some way? Activating a non-german key or something.

I really hate this censor crap. They didn't only changed the symbolism in the game but also removed every mention from Nazi Germany from the dub which totally breaks the mood for this game in my opinion.

How do steam cloud saves work? I'm currently in the process of a system reinstall after a couple of hardware upgrades and the only folder I backed up from my steam install was steamapps so I don't have to redownload any games. I also used Game Save Manager to back up my saves but just noticed that its not backed up Grid 2's save and that was the game I'm currently playing through.

When I reinstall Steam on the newly installed OS, is there an option to pull down cloud saves or is it automatic? I dont want to risk booting the game up and overriding the cloud save with a new game save.

The UK version is uncensored. There are no retail-specific subs (aside from a dev one), which means all non-German/Austrian copies of the game share the same, uncensored version. As has been noted, though, all ROW subs have the prohibitrunincountries flag, which is the sister to onlyallowrunincountries, so to play the uncensored version you'd need to:

- Use a VPN while playing, or
- Use a VPN to run the game and then switch to Offline Mode for the rest, or
- Use the app id trick to fool Steam into thinking you're playing something else (which breaks Steamworks features)

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.
Hopefully jshackles succeeds in pitching it to them :p

I still haven't heard back about this - but if I do I'll let you guys know if I can.

Last night Steam was down. This morning Dark Souls II is down so I impulse buy a bundle. Trying to activate the games I purchased and Steam is down again.

Whee.
 
Unfortunately, yes.

So fucked.

Don't know what I'll do, probably wait until the game is 10$ in Russia, buy that version and just use VPN.

Looks like the only option then is VPN activation and Offline Mode. Will wait for this to hit bargain bin.
Thanks for the clarifications.

It should download them automatically, either when the game is installed or when you go to launch it.

Hey SteamGaf I'm back from the dead ! (well in fact from another thread, I don't know how you can closely follow multiple threads T_T)
I am tempted by the activision sale on Spidey and Transformer 1/2. Are these good games, I mean in a mindless fun way, not expecting real goodness here. Will I have my money's worth with them or should they be avoided ?

A bit random but... Path of Exile coming to Steam was the best thing ever for that game.
Now, my game is always up to date when I want to play it, instead of wanting to play it but then having to wait for a 300 MB patch.
