STEAM | May 2016 - VAC to life, VAC to reality

From what I can tell, doesn't look like you can get GTA 1 & 2 at all now, unless you already own them from the older collection that was on Steam, or when they used to give it out for free. Seems both the Steam and free version from Rockstar went away at the same time. Perhaps music licencing issues?

Sigh another good game i failed to get to on steam in time, thanks for the info , this is the second game after missing out on outrun coast 2 coast on steam i regret not getting.

I know jshackles isn't doing idlemaster anymore, but does anyone have any idea why I have so much trouble with it? It never seems to idle correctly when multiple games are going on. For example it was just sitting at 1.9 despite all of the games being at 2.3 hours once I reset idlemaster. Numerous times I will reset idlemaster and the times it grabs are wrong as well. Such as saying all of the games are 1.9 and one is 1.5, despite all of them being started at the same time. I mean it's still better to deal with this than to do each one solo, but I don't get why I keep having this issue. When others don't seem too.

So? Main attraction is Rocket League and it's at the same price as the sale. Refunding it just to get a few extra games is being greedy and entitled, in my opinion.

If you bought it and played more than the 2 hours sure. If you bought it and didn't even touch it, there's no reason not to.

Does Oddworld New n' Tasty run in offline mode?
Rather bummed we don't get the DRM-free ver. as well =_=

*sigh*

That's a self-inflicted problem. I only have two of those installed and mainly use only one
and it isn't Steam
.

I noticed that if you have the option to idle all games to 2 hours first enabled and you are idling a lot of them that way, Idle Master gets stuck once they hit 2 hours and you have to close it and reopen it to get it to continue idling games. If you're only idling a few games like that, Idle Master will handle them fine. I haven't bothered to look at the code to figure out why that is, but I can confirm that issue.
 
Mad Max
Infinifactory
Crawl (Early Access)

Galak-Z
Oddworld: New 'n' Tasty

Gunmetal Arcadia Zero (Humble Original)

Next month has Rocket League

Great bundle. Didn't have anything in it and I've heard great things about some of them.

Get Captain America or Iron Man in Marvel Heroes for free. You can't redeem both codes, so choose wisely.

link (TEAMCAP or TEAMIRONMAN)

details

If you don't currently have the game installed you don't need it. Just sign in and redeem the character and then forget about it. That's what I did.

Thanks for the heads-up. I went with Cap because I already had Iron Man.

I just removed Epic -I beat Shadow Complex a while ago so I don't need it right now.

The Rockstar Social club is also gone.

I'm never playing another Telltale game (mostly because I'm weary of the format).

Hey, can I transfer my Skyrim keys to the Bethesda launcher?

Who here was hyping Infinifactory before? Seems like an interesting game but I'm worried it'd be too complex for me >_>;

There was actual gameplay there. Like 1.5 seconds of it but still :p

Not enough to get me interested!
Now if they said it had offline co-op for up to 2 players, hell I'd be pre-ordering it right now.

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.

Do you get the same thing when idling single games by themselves? I know Valve has put a few "anti-idle-master" things into their back end (the quotes are because it's just an assumption though likely these are account security issues being patched). I also know that sometimes these updates roll out to certain accounts and not to others. Having gameplay times not updated serverside when multiple games running is, I believe, one of these measures.

The setting is like Übercool and interesting, but i have zero interest in Battlefield anymore. A shame really. Maybe it's going to have an actually good singleplayer campaign this time around. One can hope.

That music choice is weird tho. Doesn't fit at all imho.

it's neogaf, everyone's gross :)

But i always imagine you as cute.

Damn. Even people who loved Borderlands thinks the game is dull. After The Division, I'm just gonna stick to dedicated single-player games.

That's a bit of an overreaction, just because Battleborn trned out to be trash, no? There are still good multiplayer games around. Like Overwatch.

You misunderstand. I should clarify that I play mostly single-player/campaign and hybrids like The Division, etc. seem to falter greatly in that aspect. The modes generally feel tacked on and underwhelming.

Will be cool to see how the Ottoman horses do vs the machinery of the West (I expect it'll turn out just about as well as it did in real life).

Didn't read this anywhere, but do we get to ride horses into battle?

I like that BF is going back to what it does best (imo) whilst COD just goes to futuristic and becomes machine vs machine.

File > Settings > Idling Behavior > Try last option?
Also, Maybe tick ignore Steam client status if you don't have privliages.
Ok will try this

Hmm, I think it might be my account then. It seems to happen no matter how many games. Once it's all past 2 hours though it's fine. So I guess they have done something about that. I have to watch the idling to 2 hours but then once it's just checking cards it fine. So I guess they did something about checking for game time.
I doubt Steam would refund if you've over 2 hours anyway with such reason.

That's my bad meant if you bought it and never played it.

I really don't understand why DICE went with that trailer remix music for a WW1 game. Use something cool and more haunting.

Other than that I'm pretty pumped just for the setting.

It's kind of an achievement. The first BF had an really amazing themesong and it got progressively worse with every new entry.

Battlefield 1 looks kinda cool, but (like many people have said) that remix was just completely out of place there. The whole "vibe" is totally off, even though the setting is great and ripe for exciting games to be made.

At this point though, Valiant Hearts looks like a more thought out and historically accurate representation.
