what game is this?it's familiar

Run Like Hell?

 

[Nyteshade517]

I have a question that I figure someone might can answer...

I have a 360 Mad Catz SSFIV TE-S Fight Stick and my computer recognizes it (downloads the drivers and shows up in Device Manager) but when I go into a game it doesn't work. Is there any way I can check to make sure the stick is actually working correctly? I sold my 360 a while back so that's a no go on checking that way.

 

[Ozium]

I need game suggestions for a worktrip with a laptop w/o numpad! GPU is integrated of course so the games can't be too graphically intensive.

Civ 5

A quick fix for me is to ALT + TAB out of the game and come back into the game....all of a sudden it recognizes the controller/stick.

 

[Jawmuncher]

Me at this exact moment.
Guess i'll just mess around with a few while I wait for Alien.
Just not interested in starting anything with that right around the corner.

 

[Tellaerin]

Still the most ridiculous product placement ever.

It's the future and we still have regular BAWLS vending machines.
Fun game though.

Just plopping shit from the early 21st century into a far future setting that way is really jarring. I wouldn't mind product placement like that if they actually took the time to work up a futuristic-but-still-recognizable version of the logo or product that would fit into the setting.

[freshVeggie]

Seems like my GTX 690 will serve the alien horror next week well.

Woah, you got 690? That should be better than a 970 man. Par the VRAM.

I was like this for almost 2 months.
But a friend gifted me The Room, so I'll be playing that until Styx comes out

 

[liezryou]

So. Anyone has an Alien Isolation Code?

I can offer Arkham City or Offspring Fling.

This doesnt work. Steam shows its not a real code

whoosh

 

[MarcoZombieCannon]

whoosh

Let him dream.

I had that problem when I had Steam (or SFIV) running in W7 compatibility mode. It's worth checking out, since it also improved performance for me.

 

[Chairmanchuck]

Let him dream.

Spoiler

Actually I have my AMD code, but I saw some ridiculous offers like that on Steamtrades.
People offering bundle "trash" for Alien...

 

[Tizoc]

Well having just finished Mordor (fun game for the most part IMO), I'm gonna put my game into:
Sherlock Holmes
FF4

After that Final Fantasy 13 and Styx.

Not a hot beverage but you'll be awake after drinking one of these:

We don't got those in mi country, but Cappucino+Hazelnut syrup's doing the trick so far =P

 

[Casimir]

Not a hot beverage but you'll be awake after drinking one of these:

How is that? The first I heard about the original blend, they had an ad campaign that featured a obese nude woman. This was somehow scandalous to people. I didnt understand the problem, I thought it was fine. I never tried it or the new blends though.

Welp.

Indeed.

Hey, if you wanna value it based off of the dollar a decently huge chunk of people payed, 33 cents worth of stuff should be sufficient

 

[someguyinahat]

Because she's wearing a hat XD

You called? Oh...wait, you said she. I'll see myself out.

Having female Skeletor and the goddess Saoirse Ronan in the same thread should be a crime

Just not interested in starting anything with that right around the corner.

I'm worried about FFXIII's proximity to Evil Within. I very much doubt that I will be able to finish it before TEW launches.

Probably a non-issue since there is a good chance I will still be finishing up Mordor at that point.

Vsync made my framerate unstable, I tuned it off and used the built in frame limiter, it's smoother for me after that.

Borderless window mode should fix the tearing too.

Man, I can't even look at it without losing weeks of time. How do you managed that?

yeah, not worth to start even, it took me a month to finish, then again you might do it faster if you play more every day, but it's not a short game, especially if you do hunts, and you wanna do them, because only they let bs shine.

wait... you're done with Civ5 already?
Man, I can't even look at it without losing weeks of time. How do you managed that?

Hyperbolic Time Chamber, bro

Isn't that where Destiny is currently stuck?

 

[Skab]

So, I'm trying to add a credit card to my account and it isn't letting me. I basically keep getting an error saying my card has been declined. Which doesn't make any sense, since I'm not even currently trying to buy anything.

Anyone run into this problem before or know of a fix?

 

[LurkerPrime]

So, is it confirmed that Steam's implementing Canadian currency next week? Because this better not mean that prices are going up +10%, with the base price of games going up $10 ('cuz reasons).

I better spend my wallet money on CK2 DLC while I still have the chance...

Isn't that where Destiny is currently stuck?

No, that's what you need to prep and gear for the raids.

Cave =/= Chamber

And Borderlands 2 GOTY is 75% off on the Mac Game Store again.

Alright..whos the guy recommending games that aren't even out yet on the GAF curator page?

 

[Saty]

Looks like Teppic erroneously made 2 giveaways of the same keys. Entrants for the second one should be aware the keys prolly won't work.

he didn't post the original, but he had auto posting set up. any entrants were done to the second one.

as it says, the key info was updated for the new giveaway

Alright..whos the guy recommending games that aren't even out yet on the GAF curator page?

you'll notice the same games are in the OP. the curator page is the gaf picks for the upcoming month of releases

SteamGAF doesn't play games anyway, so it doesn't really matter if they're out yet.

 

[Arthea]

even if it makes sense in this case (games to look for), it doesn't make sense "recommending" them, any can turn to be awful, and recommended based on what? wishes? (><)
Not that anybody cares about curators, but still it makes no sense.

edited: that modbot repost almost broke my scroll wheel

It makes as much sense as Steam allowing recommendations for unreleased games.

I can only guess it's meant for people with pre-release coverage or somesuch...

Woah, you got 690? That should be better than a 970 man. Par the VRAM.

Yeah. Got it as a christmas gift from my parents some years ago. The thing has been serwing me well.

Does anyone know how to prevent EnhancedSteam from saying "Steam is Probably Down" when it's not actually down? Doing some googling it appears to be a bug with Enhanced Steam Standalone but I found no solution except uninstalling Enhanced Steam Standalone which I really don't want to do.

 

[Uzzy]

If anyone's looking for a game to play tonight, myself and a few others are going to play some DOTA2. All skill levels are welcome, so if you're interested just add me as a friend.

I would like to remain positive and hope it's just a currency conversion but that's probably not going to be the case. The Australians get bent over a barrel with pricing on digital goods, why won't we?

If you're getting the "Steam is Probably Down" message it's usually due to Steam actually changing their IP address or no longer responding on the address set in the nginx forwarding engine.

Are you getting this on all pages, or just some of them?

So I was checking my bank account today, and I bought Duke Nukem Forever from Steam when it was on sale, but it's listed as a recurring payment. Should I be concerned? How do I handle this in a way that won't get my Steam account closed?

 

[dot]

Not a hot beverage but you'll be awake after drinking one of these:

I had a friend in high school that drank bawls like, all the time.

Even during class while the teacher wasn't looking.

He couldn't get enough of bawls.

Bawls. Every. Single. Day.

Because people actually like us Canadians.

Yoshichan approved of the following so I'm posting these here. Feel free to copy pasta and save them in a notepad for future reading when you start playing FF13. Don't worry about spoilers, the game's story isn't all that, but these gameplay tips will be of good use to first timers-


One thing to keep in mind in FF13 is that battles only award you items and CP (equivalent of Experience points in the game). You do not get any money (Gil) from battles.

Even before you start getting CP from battles, the early battles could end without getting a single item drop from an enemy. It is for this reason you should avoid any battles unless the enemies are protecting an item box (which you will see a lot of in this game, they appear as floating spheres), in the first prologue.

Dat Toriyama munay
So how do you get Gil in this game? Simply put, you either get them from item boxes, or by selling your inventory items. However, don’t go selling your weapons or armor willy-nilly, as there is an Achievement/Trophy that requires you to have all equipment in the game! In a way that’s not too hard to achieve but can be time consuming.

What you should primarily sell, however, are any items whose description reads ‘sold at a premium’, as these are items that generally give you the most Gil. You can also sell synth/upgrade items as well (read further down about these), which give a decent amount of Gil, though you shouldn’t do that so early in the game. You really won’t be spending much Gil unless you need potions, etc. but as you get accustomed to the combat system and battles, you will prob. Never spend any Gil at all until very much later.

The first (and shortest) of the 2 prologues
Now, if you skip cutscenes and avoid most battles, you can finish the first prologue within 30ish minutes unless you keep dieing to the first boss a lot.
After defeating the first boss you’ll start accumulating CP from battles to learn abilities and strengthen your characters.
Now the game breaks out stuff to you slowly, and of those things are Upgrading/Strengthing weapons and armor.

Weapons and tips on upgrading them
Notice how some enemies drop various odd named items like ‘Sturdy Bone’, ‘Monstrous Fang’, etc.
These items are used to upgrade your weapons and armor, but here’s the thing: You don’t really have to do any upgrading until much later in the game. Note that each item offers a set amount of ‘EXP’ to the weapon or equipment you’re upgrading and each item has level cap. To exceed this level cap, you will need to use a Catalyst item. These are gotten from enemies, treasure chests and can be bought from the specific shop, however some cost a fuckton of Gil.

Granted upgrading weapons, at least, early on will give you an advantage but I personally never had issues with the weapons and equipment I had on my characters when against bosses or enemy encounters.

At any rate, the best time to bother with upgrading weapons (upgrading armor is a waste IMO since in the endgame I would use specific equipment that weren’t defensive in nature) is once you are able to purchase Superconductor & Ultracompact Reactor items from the specific shop.

Each character has 10 weapons, but I’ve found that focusing on one weapon to upgrade is cost efficient. I sadly can’t remember exactly which weapons were the ideal ones for each character atm, BUT all weapons have 3 ‘forms’- Their initial form which is when you get that weapon, and 2 more that are achieved by upgrading them using items & catalysts.

Note that each form maxes out at a set level when upgrading it, so you’ll obv. need a catalyst to further upgrade it.

I’ve used Drogan13’s guide on GameFAQs for upgrading weapons and here’s how you can upgrade each weapon to its max level along with what catalyst and items you would need to do so:

To max out initial form, you should use the following items in the following order
36 x Sturdy Bone
50 x Superconductor

Then you use 1 Scarletite to upgrade to the 2nd form. Afterwards you can use the following items in this order-
36 x Sturdy Bone
2 x Ultracompact Reactor
15 x Sturdy Bone
27 x Superconductor
…to max out the 2nd form.

Try to at least transform your weapons to their 2nd form once you have access to buying the 2 items I mentioned before (Superconductor & Ultrcompact Reactor), as then they’d give you good enough stats to do greater damage to enemies.

I should point out that you may not have enough Gil to upgrade ALL your 6 characters' main weapon. As such focus on upgrading it for at least the 3 characters you are comfortable with using in battles. In my case it was Light+Fang+Vanille. Read further on on why I prefer these, as I personally recommend utilizing those 3 from the mid game onwards

Now to reach a weapon’s final and 3rd form (note that the name of each character’s weapon’s 3rd form is the SAME, but their passive bonuses are different depending on the weapon), you will need 1 Trapezohedron as the catalyst…which FYI is a super rare and expensive item, but don’t worry about grinding for it just yet, as there’s a quick-ish-er way to get more of this item.

To max out the 3rd form, the following items are recommended
36 x Sturdy Bone
26 x Ultracompact Reactor
36 x Sturdy Bone
2 x Particle Accelerator
12 x Superconductor

I should point out that SOME weapons might require some more exp or items to be maxed out, in this case, just use up any spare upgrade items you’ve collected along the way.

You know how everyone says the game opens up by Chapter 10/11? Well that would be the ideal time to start spending Gil to upgrade your weapons, so long as the items I mentioned are available for purchase.

CP and leveling up
Now let’s back up and talk about the leveling up system. The game uses a similar concept to Final Fantasy X’s Sphere Grid system.

Basically you spend the CP you earn from battles to strengthen your character and learn abilities. Sounds simple enough, but to save yourself some time, just upgrade once you have accumulated like 1000/2000/3000/etc. amount of CP then spend them all on whatever abilities and stats are available to earn.

The game has 6 Roles, which you can read more about in the game’s OT here-
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=904919

Let me tell your right away that Sab and Syn are the BEST roles in the game, so if a character has that role among their main 3, get all stats and abilities for that role first, then focus on the latter.

One thing some players have complained, if not noted/had no problems with, is that the game in reality, encourages being aggressive.

By the mid to late game, I was rocking Light, Fang and Vanille especially against Hunts and bosses (at least if the boss is vulnerable to Negative status effects). Fang and Vanille are the only members who have the Sab role as part of their main 3 roles.

Utilizing these 3 character’s offensive roles can lead to defeating bosses and strong enemies real quickly.

Another do-able strategy is to utilize your 2 Synergists, Sazh and Hope, and I will confess that I used their Syn roles during specific chapters and against bosses who were immune to negative status effects, along with certain enemy groups.

Now that I think about it, utilizing Light+Fang+Vanille team was more the result of me figuring out how to use these 3’s roles offensively/effectively to finish most battles, so first timers might have difficulty getting accustomed to them.
None the less, it’s worth investing in if you could put the time into it.

Grinding/Farming for CP
Far as CP grinding is concerned, I found myself grinding for CP only on 2 occasions, aside from an endgame area:
1- Hope’s house. There will 3 groups of soldiers in his house which respawn after a few seconds. Only grind here if you want to get a final set of stats and abilities for your roles before progressing in the game.

2- The Behemoth in front of the cave entrance in Gran Pulse. This Behemoth enemy will be fighting another big monster, and will ALWAYS be a pre-emptive strike, meaning you go first and will have the monster’s Stagger gauge at 98/99%. This battle yields 6,600 CP, and will respawn if you leave it for a few seconds then come back to where you fought it.

There are different strategies on how to finish off this battle, but the general idea is to focus on the behemoth enemy first, preferably using Sab abilities on it. After it dies, focus on the other giant enemy.

Chances are you will die a few times before being able to win the fight, but with practice you will utilize a proper strategy and win the fight, after subsequent battles, you’ll be finishing these 2 monsters much faster.

Spend a few hours here to max out your stats and abilities, and then feel free to proceed with completing the Hunts/Marks and/or progressing through the game.

Note that CP maxes out at 999,999 CP. If you ever reached 900,000 CP during the late game while your main roles stats and abilities have all been learned, just dump them into your secondary roles. Only reason they cost 10 times more CP than your main roles is cuz the developers wanted to pad the game longer.

I’d say that’s about it for now. Keep these pointers in mind and you should have a less tedious time with the battles.

Also note, that early on in the game, you should fight every enemy group that you see, but if you’re in a dungeon and the enemies seem too annoying for you to fight, feel free to ignore them but if a boss starts giving you trouble, just go back and grind for a bit. I should note that you don’t really HAVE to grind for CP to beat bosses. I did a playthrough where I didn’t grind for CP and managed just fine albeit with one or two retries.

This is not the FF13 PC |OT|, and the game isn't out for some time... I don't know how helpful this will be.

This thread moves too fast for posts like this, IMO.
