Holy shit I don't think I've ever had this many replies this fast to any of my posts before (unless it was a thread I started). This community seems awesome :)

I'll reply on multiple posts to become a non-lurker quicker :p



Thanks. I have a ton of clothes on I assure you, it's pretty chilly in my flat.



This thread? Yep!



Yeah I was expecting that. I've witnessed the Steam sales from the sidelines for the past few years and I heard the cries of many gamers' wallets.

I'm honestly surprised you even try when 100 keys are available (and some even get), I've learnt the hard way, that if it's less than thousands of something, not worth even trying (><)

Well I actually won a key. Another issue though, I already have AMD4U account from around year ago so I decided to log into that account to activate this new key. Apparently they now require account verification so I entered my e-mail address and mobile phone number on their verify form and hit continue. SMS arrived, and an e-mail arrived but the e-mail said "Thank you for verifying your account". But.. I didn't verify it, I was supposed to get an e-mail to verify my account. Now I have the SMS which alone can't be used to verify account, need both e-mail and SMS verification. I can't log into my account because I need to verify it, and the verify doesn't work because it thinks I already verified.

I love it when developers implement new features and forget that they already had existing users whose accounts probably don't work like new accounts. I wonder if my key still works when the support gets back to me.

edit: Forgot to mention, but they actually have a system to re-send the SMS, but no way to re-send the e-mail (that wasn't sent in the first place..)

You picked almost literally the best time to get into Steam. The Steam Fall sale should be starting soon (tomorrow? Next week?) and you'll see some massive discounts and "too good to pass up" sales.

There are also some really great bundles running right now, like the current Humble Bundle. $12 buys you 10 really great games. They also have a weekly bundle going on that gets you a ton of older Worms games + Superfrog HD + Alien Breed for as little as $1 (it's "Pay what you want").

And of course I would be remiss if I didn't recommend you install the Enhanced Steam extension.
Click to expand...

I've seen this Humblebundle but I'm not familiar with any of the games in it (man the indie scene is massive and I'm mostly ignorant about it). Thing is I just moved to a new flat 2 days ago and I still haven't set up a residential Internet connection or even hooked up my PC yet. Been using the net on my phone and my data plan is about to run out, so trying to keep my image heavy page visits to a minimum and no videos. And I know if I set up my PC before I get a connection I'm going to feel even more frustrated...

Welcome to. This place is amazing. A week after joining I'd spent 15 bucks and gotten over a hundred new games. Godspeed, son.

Also what's your steam? I think I have a few duplicates I could throw your way to get you started with!

My steamid is adelgary

Perhaps I should mention that I already Super Hexagon (I think a GAFer gifted it to me last year) and I got a Steam code for Metro 2033 and Insurgency, and GoG code for The Witcher 2 from this thread and another. Haven't redeemed them yet though since I haven't setup my PC yet (hope they don't expire or something?)

I would definitely wait on preordering this. I have yet to hear a single positive impression from anyone who's played this at PAX.

chubigans said:
GiantBomb talked about it off hand like it was one of their biggest disappointments of PAX, and I know a few GAFfers chimed in on the last GW3 thread we had. Anyone else been able to demo the game?

More details?

Struct09 said:
It didn't feel much like GW. The things they added (like spherical worlds) didn't serve to improve the experience, they just made it more frustrating. Granted my impressions are based off of 15 minutes of playtime, but being a huge fan of the original two games my short time with this one really dampened my hype.

Welp, someone got busted for Far Cry 4 piracy.

And not just someone, but a quite well known Youtuber.
I see him frequently in Youtube comments since he gets upvoted because he's well known.

(Not to be confused with FrankieOnPCIn1080p)

The fact that he went back and deleted his comments is damning. It's really sad and funny the amount of dumb ass excuses people come up with to try and justify pirating.

It's amazing how, after this many botched releases, Alienware still hasn't come up with a better solution to distribute those keys (especially when it results in the site going to a crawl and nobody understanding what's happening). They'd be better off doing a Godankey.com giveaway and make it timed entry/raffle.

It is.

- I don't have the monieeesss!
You filthy scrub lord. If you have the money to buy/assemble a gaming PC that can run the latest AAA games, you also have the money for a game.

- I want to test whether I would liiiiiike it!
Ever heard of Youtube? Complete 1080p playthroughs to be found only a day after a game's release. Now also in 60fps.

- I want to see whether it runs gooooood.
Well, wait and analyse threads/articles on the internet and compare with your hardware. On top of that you know every game at release runs like a turd nowadays. That's even more of a reason to wait it out instead of either pirating the game or buying the game.

Damn it's almost impossible not to get bitter when Ubisoft STILL hasn't sent out Far Cry 4 which I pre-ordered back in september. Irritates me to no end also that their support ain't that supportive. Almost made me buy candy again to lift up my mood haha, yeah I'm reacting to this way more than I should.

On a Steam-note though, did This War of Mine get regionlocked? I'm sure I saw it on dispenser but it's gone now.
