Awesome, a Venom table is coming to Pinball FX2.

Holy Shit!!!

LOL @ reading people threatening to switch over to Origin or even full fledged piracy because they feel cheated by Valve changing its trading policy.

Of course no one even realizes that Valve is simply limiting a workaround to exploit regional pricing, which was a way we always used to cheat Valve in the first place.

Spoiler

let alone the fact that regional pricing is or is not wrong, that's not the point here

That's true, but I don't think this was a good move on Valve's part.
I've been buying a lot of games the past two years because crossregion trading made a difference from the inflated prices we usually get here. The ACRTAG thing didn't affect me so much because I'm on the same region as Brazil and Mexico, so I'd still get a discount. This new trading restriction basically forces me to wait a month before getting anything or just pay full US price on a few games I really want at the moment and wait months until others go on sale (or wait for bundles)
I get that I don't live in an important region, but Valve didn't act like this in the past.

When Origin does something better than Steam you know things aren't going so well.

Age of Entitlement

Well, considering company's make use of globalisation every single day, I don't think it's an entitlement problem. Region locking is a shitty practice. Limiting trading and lying about why is also a shitty practice.

That said, there's not much you can do about if. Every company does it to a certain extent.

That was fast. Shame I lack the funds for it.

Pixelvision, I think.

 

[crimsonheadGCN]

So the Sega Humble Bundle will be released today? In an hour, right?

 

[AHA-Lambda]

hahaha, no problem

What a load of shit; so how much do we miss out on without paying for this?

Also, I take it this was the eponymous 4th DLC people speculated about then, yes?

 

[Turfster]

Also, for people still doubting the date (is there anyone? really?), today's daily ends in 24 hours instead of 48.

So the Sega Humble Bundle will be released today? In an hour, right?

It's their second to last chance to at least get the month and year right, so maybe

 

[Gianni Merryman]

Speaking of +1s...

Actually I must admit that I have been enjoying that game much more than I was expecting; this is the first visual novel I have ever played, but I think it's decent.

So the Sega Humble Bundle will be released today? In an hour, right?

Has this been rumoured? A new one or a repeat?

Da fuck?
They need to do an upgrade version for existing users like Ultra Street Fighter 4.

I don't want to have to buy the entire game again to be able to play the updated DX11 version.

Namco plz. ;_;

I bought the game day one.

 

[Milamber]

But pretty good for the ones that didn't drop dosh yet for DSII.

I agree completely.

I'm in the same situation. This is the first time that Valve make a decision about something and I don't agree.

Very bad move Valve

Content should be available to the current version on PC but the visual upgrades (what ever they turn out to be), online and gameplay tweaking in only on the newer version. That and it not be compatible with the other version for online so it will split the playerbase up for that portion of the game. I get the fence I'm sitting on it going to get rather crowded.

 

[dani_dc]

Bought Darks Souls at release on Steam and then five times to gift away, got Dark Souls II at release.

Now I feel no motivation to buy any other DS game at release or gift them away if this is how they're going to threat customers.

I hope this "remaster" sells like shit on Steam.

 

[Gianni Merryman]

Yay!

The Top Banner of the Humble Store.

So based on the visual hints Alien: isolation, Rome Total war and Company of heroes 2 should be there, right?

Talk about jumping the gun...

Also, I guess we know which games aren't in the bundle =p
What the hell does that leave, tho?
Sanic?

Alien Isolation is to buy, so definitely not. Same with COH2 and Rome.
CoH 1 is an option, though. Maybe Shogun 1.

What AMD Group?

I assume that both Alien: Isolation and Rome: Total War will have DLC in the bundle.

I think CoH will be there, but just the base game and not the latest releases or DLC>

No idea. Don't most of us own everything from Sega already anyway?

 

[Durante]

I think that's their new thing where they have DLC related to the bundled games at a reduced price in the Humble Store.

Well I guess Alien is in the bundle then. Really get the feeling that game bombed now, there's been too many deals on it so quickly

Content should be available to the current version on PC but the visual upgrades (what ever they turn out to be), online and gameplay tweaking in only on the newer version. That and it not be compatible with the other version for online so it will split the playerbase up for that portion of the game. I get the fence I'm sitting on it going to get rather crowded.

What a crock of shit.

 

[ViviOggi]

I hope Alien isn't BTA

 

[xenoflux2113]

Oh fuck that.

 

[Asgaro]

Prepare yer shoulders.

 

[Turfster]

Neither Alien game is in the bundle, guys
This stuff is all for sale normally, so it would make no sense at all to bundle it =p

 

[Milamber]

Shit, now I really regret throwing all my dosh at my steam wallet.

 

[Nabs]

Distance is hitting Early Access on December 9th. Here's a trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=57AFXGzrhrs

 

[Durante]

I just saw that Shroud of the Avatar is in early access. No thread on GAF, I didn't see anyone talking about it... how did it turn out?

 

[Zia]

The DSII remaster is a bit of a joke, considering it should have launched on PC with those graphical upgrades. Better be a mammoth discount for previous owners.

 

[crimsonheadGCN]

From my guess, the humble bundle will consist of the stuff that isn't discounted here:

https://www.humblebundle.com/store/promo/sega_2014_11_25

Minus the franchise packages and recent releases.
