Heh, after selling its cards for big money I now get a Grim Legends booster pack worth 3€. Sell or go for the ultimate thrill?

It of course depends on the games you like too, no matter how long I'll play CS:GO I won't get very far percentage wise. Same with Civ5. On the other hand I played through a bunch of Artifex Mundi games (see Grim Legends) which easily give you 70-100% in less than five hours. Which doesn't mean that that's the reason I play them, I hope I never become one of 'those' people.

Try to sell, 3€ is nothing to sneeze on.

I like Artifex Mundi games much more than one could expect, I like pretty much everything about them, only I can't play them one after another, I need huge breaks to want more, and I have so many of them already...
Also it suddenly dawned on me with finality that games without achievements don't count for completion percentage at all? That's mean...

For newbies: there's a list of free SHiFT codes on this site for BL2. Most of them give you keys to unlock chests at Sanctuary (which gives you really nice weapons, armors, grenades...), some of them give you special skins etc.

I have over 200 golden keys. Still need to play the game some day

 

[Darth Kupi]

Are you logged in and is your extension up-to-date?

I assume it auto updates, I've never been asked to update and new functionality gets added from time to time.

Anyway I cleared Enhanced Steam's cache and that seems to have worked.

Weird.

 

[Hero Prinny]

Morning steamgaf, I'm guessing we're all waiting for the pigeon challenge

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

I'm holding out hope that DR2 & Off The Record go cheap now as part of DR3 getting released. I never played OTR and really liked DR2 so I wouldn't mind double dipping on that.

You got it!

Crap, I'm still not even close to being done with TitS.
Pigeons will have to wait. Hope they are coo about it.

 

[Gipsy Danger]

Got a spare key from a bought 4-pack. It's no pigeon dating but it'll have to do. Good luck!

I don't know feather or not puns like that are allowed today.

Don't put all your eggs in one basket.

You should Tweet that pun.

Flock anyone that says otherwise.

A rule like that would be very beak in my opinion

EDIT: SteamGAF is the nest part of this website

 

[Deleted member 125677]

Get on that Lethal League giveaway peeps and play with me tonight!

 

[Knurek]

I don't know feather or not puns like that are allowed today.

I just hope the game has a coop mode.

Morning steamgaf, I'm guessing we're all waiting for the pigeon challenge

I'm waiting to kill zombies in the most ludicrous ways I can imagine.

 

[dirtywhirlwind]

Fantastic. Very excited.

 

[Aerocrane]

maybe it depends on the class you're using. From what I've heard, Zero is unbalanced and become harder to use later in the game

I'm using the Mechromancer, using the BFF skill tree.

hard or not fun? I'll agree with the 'fun' part...co-op is so much more enjoyable. I didn't find the game any more difficult than the first game.

Both, the difficulty comes from the loot being mostly bad. I don't ever buy weapons from shops in loot games, so maybe I should look into getting better gear that way.

For newbies: there's a list of free SHiFT codes on this site for BL2. Most of them give you keys to unlock chests at Sanctuary (which gives you really nice weapons, armors, grenades...), some of them give you special skins etc.
http://borderlands.wikia.com/wiki/SHiFT

Cool, I found this list from the Steam Community Forums for the game. I'll definitely try them out and see if the gear is really much better than my current low level items.

Congrats.

Fantastic. Very excited.

Sometimes when a popular giveaway ends I audit to see if somebody almost got lucky, but all the ones I've checked (which, admittedly, isn't many) have always had just the one candidate.

 

[Vazduh]

Cool, I found this list from the Steam Community Forums for the game. I'll definitely try them out and see if the gear is really much better than my current low level items.

Try not to spend a lot of keys at once since you'll need them later (bigger level gives you better weapons).

 

[sprinkles]

41% now, new goal 45. It's a meaningless number and I won't keep playing games I don't enjoy (or boost it via SAM) but I can't deny the satisfaction of seeing the number rise after finishing games I haven't touch in ages.

Just reached 44% for the first time yesterday, it is good to know that other folks care about useless crap like this as well!

 

[liezryou]

Try not to spend a lot of keys at once since you'll need them later (bigger level gives you better weapons).

Uhhh last time i remember playing this game, i was on my third playthrough and i had like 150 some odd golden keys unused. I don't think it will be an issue given the rate they release them at.

Also http://orcz.com/Borderlands_2:_Golden_Key is the best site to track them.

But it is.

I actually meant Enemy Within, the DLC expansion. I already have Enemy Unknown. Those names are confusing.

 

[Gipsy Danger]

Nevermind. Got confused.

 

[MMBosstones86]

Try not to spend a lot of keys at once since you'll need them later (bigger level gives you better weapons).

eh. doesn't apply as much now as it did at launch. Use them when you need an equipment boost as it scales with your level. Obviously, the best stuff is given out at max level, but with the rate they give out keys it doesn't do you any good to hold on to them.

 

[dex3108]

I see that some of you will go coo coo in couple of hours XD

 

[sprinkles]

Crap, I'm still not even close to being done with TitS.
Pigeons will have to wait. Hope they are coo about it.

I finally finished TitS (great game btw, but I wish the ending

Spoiler

had less Anime drama

) last weekend so I am ready for the Pigeons tonight!

[freshVeggie]

Hello Gaf. Found some time to catch up. So many new pages in such a short time, whew.
Finally my new mouse came (no more false right-click, yay!) and the 1TB 2,5 inch HDD, so that I can finish repairing my uncle's smart-errored laptop. It's so time consuming to backup dozens of GB and then having to search for drivers, urgh.
--
Anyway, I am surprised that Ryse has a storepage so soon!? Somehow I was thinking it'll come much later. The gameplay videos I saw looked kinda ok, kinda boring but for the visuals alone this game seems worth it (at max. 5 bucks for me though). The par for Crytek titles these days sadly. So see you in a couple years Ryse!
--

I now have more PMs on GAF than games on Steam.

Be honest, was it me?

Hey, for those of you new to Payday 2, I'd be happy to teach you the ropes. I'm pretty close to Infamy 2 and I've got a bajillion dollars in in-game currency, so I can respect for anything for any mission.

More and more I regret having thought making a great snipe by getting Payday 1 + DLC during sale instead of vanilla Payday 2. Let's see whether those scary masks entitle Payday 2 for a spot in the Halloween sale.

Oops, almost forgot. Happy birthday Marco. A bit late though...

Back to installing drivers and software on the repaired laptop... oh boy, I still gotta copy all those data back, too.

2K sales are everywhere, all the time.

Trying to play co-op in Payday 2 last night was quite unsuccessful. Apparently being really low level means you get insta-kicked in lobbies.

Guess I get to fuck around with bots for a while!

I'm sure you'll find GAFers who want to play with you. Like me for example, level 20 or so but totally clueless since I haven't played in a long while.

Just reached 44% for the first time yesterday, it is good to know that other folks care about useless crap like this as well!

We post on Neogaf. The question isn't if we care about useless crap but about what useless crap. Also it looks like I need to step up my game.

 

[JaseC]

Be honest, was it me?

Nah. Someone bought 9 Winter Offensive keys from the market to buy Dead Rising 3 but Steam wouldn't let him trade them away, so he PM'd me about it -- it was my response to the second one that tipped me over the edge. Judging from what he said there shouldn't have been anything preventing him from trading the keys, so I just recommended contacting Valve and occasionally retrying the trade while he waited for a response.

If you guys are in for PayDay 2 I'd be up for that, if you didn't mind. I bought it in the Summer Sale and haven't had a chance to play it

Well hopefully the events of 999/VLR

don't happen IRL now, lol!

I love Payday 2 so much that one of my suggestions (coloring stats to show their differences, rather than just using numbers) is in the game.

More and more I regret having thought making a great snipe by getting Payday 1 + DLC during sale instead of vanilla Payday 2. Let's see whether those scary masks entitle Payday 2 for a spot in the Halloween sale.

Payday 1 is the better game.

Or you could play with me. If you want to get up to level 40-50 quick, I can do that. If you'd rather just focus on getting good at playing the game, I can help you do that too. I won't bite. I love introducing people to Payday 2.

I'm sure you'll find GAFers who want to play with you. Like me for example, level 20 or so but totally clueless since I haven't played in a long while.

The community of Payday 2 is really toxic. They will kick you no matter your level and they will most likely insult you if you don't do everything right during a heist. I don't get why people get so worked up about a co-op game.

We didn't see these problems all that much with Payday 1.

What's the difference?

Payday 2's WAY more XP/money-focused as a game. With Payday 1, you're just focusing on the heists. I honestly think metagame play actively harms the ability to play the game itself and creates toxic communities.

 

[Hugstable]

Sure thing, it's this post (POTENTIAL 999 SPOILERS IN THE THREAD TITLE!!!).

That doesn't ruin the ending. You are told about that even into your first playthrough. It's a twist but it's nowhere near the big shocker of the game. You are fine.
