It's finally happened: the PC has its first pre-order-exclusive achievement:

1/10 would use SAM on it.

Spoiler

Or not even that. I wouldn't even like to have an achievement that says I preordered a game - even cheated. I'm absolutely no fan of preordering.

Evolve Alpha -- MB-0BD8B7A17056B147 - Taken by Mobius and pet octopus

yes

 

[Alavard]

Crypt of the Necrodancer has a Halloween update that includes Achievements and a level editor

Ah, so it's pretty safe to assume it will be on sale during the Steam Halloween Sale. Perfect. It's been on my wishlist for a while and I'm currently in a break between games in my backlog.

RIP again halo 2

Durante, control in FF13 is rather speculative IMO.

What you have control of is the flow of battle, or rather what roles the characters battle as during fights. You have a modicum of control over the Leader in that you can stop their ATB action at any time and prepare them for another set of actions.
The main control you have is done via Paradigm Shifting.

Yeah, that's what I meant by "FF13 battles are about switching your character classes on the fly to match the state of the battle.".

It's finally happened: the PC has its first pre-order-exclusive achievement:

Hasn't it happened before?

 

[JaseC]

Yes.

 

[Atraveller]

That was halo 2?

 

[MMBosstones86]

Also, doesn't enemy info screen in FF13 count as a pause?

Technically, you can pause just by pressing Start. But you can't do anything to control the battle

 

[Deques]

Yes.

Ah, yes. I saw that post. Didn't read it though

Pre-order achievements suck! Also achievements for beta testing also sucks. I think I have seen one or two games with it

I lol'd

 

[Juke Joint Jezebel]

Anyone got a spare Evolve alpha code? Will love you forever! :3

 

[PandaPedinte]

They officially support DS3, so it should.

Thank you

I'm a bit bummed out, I usually have a lot of fun with Scream Fortress. But this year's, I played for about 20 minutes and I think I'm done. The map is sorta meh. The bumper cars are fun until you've played each of the 3 variants. But the worst part is that there's no gift spawns. You get six Halloween items then that's it unless you want to buy the crates. I'm sure there's a ton of people that will happily drop a ton of cash on them, but I do miss the old way of running around the map like a madman trying to find the spawned gift before someone kills you and it expires. Oh well.

On the plus side, instead of two weeks of Team Fortress, for Halloween I can play the Alien I won from jshackles' Extra Life campaign.

Really? No more gift spawns? I had fun trying to find them aswell. Got some pretty good gifts too.

 

[Stallion Free]

I think I found HolyBaikal's steam account.

In retrospect I regret laughing at Holy and rolling my eyes at his complaint. He was just fighting the good fight.

 

[JaseC]

Vertical Drop Heroes now has Halloween DLC. I think it's supposed to be free but the devs didn't realise that setting it to 100% off would disable the "Add to cart" button.

 

[PetriP-TNT]

a wild Divinity: Original Sin patch appears

Did they fix the game not working properly with Optimus yet?

 

[Atraveller]

What fight? "Say no to virtual dildos" campaign?

 

[brotkasten]

I hope the sale is going to have some nice surprises. Something like Deadly Premonition for 2.49. That was pretty great.

you can still get gifts on past event maps...

l4d3 stealth release

If it's free content why would they bother to put it as DLC? They could just put it in the main game and call it a content update

 

[FloatOn]

I just want south park for $15.

It's not exactly halloween themed but it does have kids running around the neighborhood in costumes.

 

[Arthea]

Seven Kingdoms 2 is on greenlight?! my mind is officially blown.
Why it has to go trough greenlight? I don't get it at all (><)

 

[JaseC]

Presumably it'll only be available for a limited time.

Skyrim..!! enjoy

13 entrees in a 15 minute raffle.

It's remarkable how many people still do not have Skyrim!
I mean, I bought it a few months ago for € 4.99 and I thought I was already the exception for holding off that long. (Haven't gotten round to playing it though. Soon™)

 

[Thrakier]

Can anyone help me with my GTA EFCL problem? The game works fine for a few minutes and then starts stuttering like crazy. Changing any option in the graphics menu makes it working again for a few minutes.

Will do some more...I bought a few more when I found if I spend $3 will get $10 so kind of 4 skyrim for $3...

Still waiting for those codes to come..

Edit - I got $10 from the account which I used as referral so technically I got $23 for spending $3

 

[dani_dc]

So, how many are hoping/betting for a stealth release of VC ala Overkill today?

What fight? "Say no to virtual dildos" campaign?

Probably just following his OCD.

 

[lashman]

 

[Chariot]

STOP TAKING MY MONEY YOU ASSHATS

 

[Stallion Free]

What fight? "Say no to virtual dildos" campaign?

The fight to use a virtual garbage can without having to ask permission.

 

[MRORANGE]

This seems promising.

 

[Juke Joint Jezebel]

Lulz. Glad I skipped Dynasty Warriors 8 Xtreme on steam then. Here's hoping it's actually a good port this time.

 

[Deques]

Dang, I thought this expansion was included in DW8 Complete Edition in Steam

Going to wait for a complete edition

 

[Arthea]

That's not surprising, I guess DW8XL sold good enough then?

good luck with that (><)

 

[Annubis]

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES !!!!
I have waited long for this but finally *sheds a tear*

 

[Chairmanchuck]

Seems its a seperate game.
Reading the Empire thread it seems DW8 XL has the storymode and "base building" mode while Empire just has the empire mode, but is a seperate game.

Though the DW8XL Port was kinda bad. I mean no cloud-saves, but the worst was that you have to configure the controller yourself, but instead of "Press A for a hard attack" it was "Press strange_icon for a hard attack"...

 

[Atraveller]

So now you decided to try your money grabby hands in the PC market, thanks KOEI.

Good thing we have a hide option now.

I'm still waiting to buy the legendary edition, already played it on ps3 and I'm not sure if I'd have time to mod/play the pc version.

That was halo 2?

yeah, saw him changing his steam name today

 

[rtcn63]

If only I could get into graphic novels. At least one of my favorite writers learned his craft from reading them growing up (well, in conjunction with some hard drugs), but I just haven't been able to hook myself. I'm less caring of the art portion, which is odd, since I do appreciate visuals in TV/film.

 

[Arthea]

I want them to go rampant, so much so that they ran out of Tecmo Koei games to release and start dishing Atelier games on PC, then I'll live in PC paradise forever

Spoiler

lemme dream (><)

 

[Stallion Free]

Eh, that wouldn't have solved Holy's problem since the games still show up on your profile.

 

[PandaPedinte]

Looks interesting.

 

[Grief.exe]

Tecmo, Ninja Gaiden Black please!

 

[AHA-Lambda]

Tecmo, Ninja Gaiden Black please!

Yes! :O

 

[MUnited83]

Just preordered the Alone in the Dark game. It will probably suck but I can't resist that russian price.


Also, holy crap, 2015 is really the year of co-op shooters.

 

[BruteUA]

Really? No more gift spawns? I had fun trying to find them aswell. Got some pretty good gifts too.

One gift cauldron w/ three items the first time you play, a second one for getting an achievement.

you can still get gifts on past event maps...

Great idea, thanks. Then I can really fuck with my descendants when they boot up the Animus and get two memories for Scream Fortress 2013.

 

[Dio Brando]

is there any specific date on when the Alien Isolation Items will be able to be sold on the market?

 

[textonly]

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES !!!!

I know what you feel bro, this is the first time ever that Empires edition has landed on PC.

 

[MMBosstones86]

Did we ever find out what game tainted his account enough to cause the meltdown? I just remember excessive VagueBooking.
