For curiosity sake, will my Defense Grid 2 Beta will be gone from my library once the full game is released? Also, why is the game not stated as "Beta" in my Library, say, like "Left 2 Dead 2 Beta"? This also make it seems like I own the game which I do not.

Also, I wonder if the same will apply to "Calibre 10 Racing Series" and "Chess the Gathering" that does not even have an official Steam Page. Any input towards this is appreciated, thanks!

Yeah, Defense Grid 2 beta will be removed after it's released. Same applies to almost all games.

Calibre 10 from Alienware Arena is full version, not limited to alpha.

Getting some weird artifacts when playing Arkham Origins. Any chance someone experienced something similiar? Think forcing DX9 mode would help it? Here's how it looks:


Basically in every group of thugs at least one of them has these weird lines shooting out of them. Also I read about how buggy the game is and the lack of improvements to this situation. Not very cool and makes me hesitant getting Arkham City close to launch.

Are you on AMD beta drivers by any chance? I had those vertex glitches in various games until I reverted to the stable release.
 
So SteamGAF with SSD's, how do you deal with your games? Keep couple often played favorites there but most of the library in another drive I would guess. Thinking about finally jumping on one myself.

Anything else I should take note of with Windows 7? I'm guessing again, but modern OS's are probably smart enough to deal with SSD's without anything extra needing to be enabled or disabled?

Nothing special needed. OS on SSD, Steam on HD.

I'm actually on GeForce 340.52.

"I need a new PC" thread has a link to helpful tweak guide. It's worth putting the 15 minutes it takes to it.

Damn Lego Marvel looks so good, I was just doing the
Magneto
fight and watching a hundred bricks flying around the screen in 60fps is awesome, the game animates so well.

The performance is pretty good too, other than some drops in the open world and when it's loading, I could run it at 3840 × 2160.

Yeah, you don't need to do anything. Running your OS from an SSD is one of the best upgrades you can do regardless of the rest of your system (well, unless you haven't upgraded your RAM since 2006 ;)).

Adventuring outside of SteamGAF? Preposterous!

But do you get any benefits while playing when your games are not on it? Or is it sufficient for only the OS to be on SSD to see improvements for games?
Now that you can chose which drives to install games on you can you can go decide on a game by game basis if you want it on the ssd or not.

I think their streaming is a bit aggressive and that's why the drops happen in the open-world area and nowhere else.

I didn't earn any achievements for DMC over the back half of the game.

Finished the final bosses today. Overall I liked the game, though the pacing could have been significantly better.

I found the good combat sections where I really got to dive into the meat of the combat system were too few and far between. Then, much of the combat was split apart by platforming sections which grew exceedingly tedious over the course of the game.

Ah, that's nice. I am curious whether a game being installed on SSD gives any performance improvements. Plan on getting a 128GB one hopefully this fall/winter for my first desktop PC but if there are huge gains for games being on SSD, I would consider getting a 256GB one.

Not sure of where to put this, so i will put it here.

I have a free code for Magicka via STEAM i have a code that came free in a magazine i sub to, it's worth £8 apparently.

http://store.steampowered.com/app/42910/

I am not sure what region the code is valid, it may be UK/EU only as i'm in the UK.

I'm never going to use it, so if someone want's it then drop me a PM.

I'm offering this free & first come-first serve (i will edit this once the code is gone)

I am NOT involved with this game/dev/pub in anyway.

 
Anyone else having problems with GMG's discount codes? I'm trying to use the 20% code from the front page: 1EUYMC-XPDZG8-K0F6WX against LEGO Marvel, and it just tells me "Unable to add the voucher".

Are the LEGO games exempt from the discount? That would be frustrating given that clicking the voucher on the front page takes you to their LEGO landing page.
 
Someone explain modbot to me, how did it lock that ff thread talking about mmos and why did it leave that comment? Is there a way to report threads or something?

you better not fall for that :p

So, adjusting for Valve time, HL3 will release in 2021.

Also I read about how buggy the game is and the lack of improvements to this situation. Not very cool and makes me hesitant getting Arkham City close to launch.

I mean, Arkham Knight is being made by Rocksteady, so I wouldn't worry about picking it up close to launch because it was buggy.

Not picking it up at launch because of the inevitable GOTY edition I can understand though.

Secret spoilers:

Haven't I seen ModBot lock threads before? What's the secret?
ModBot also has moderation functions. Moderators and Administrators can use ModBot to do a variety of administrative functions faster, especially when moderating from mobile devices. One of the functions ModBot has is to allow a moderator to lock a thread and leave a message describing why without identifying the moderator who locked the thread. Behind the scenes, the moderator who locked the thread is still recorded. Every moderator has access to ModBot. ModBot is not an actively maintained account, so sending complaint PMs to ModBot will not get you a response. PM a moderator if you have moderation questions.

Modbot is an advanced version of John Malkovich, which the other "human" mods can enter and take control of at various times to anonymously earn the ire of the board.

Then, after about fifteen minutes, they''re spit out into a ditch on the side of The New Jersey Turnpike.
 
Ah ok so its an actual person locking threads but theyre on modbot. I thought thats what it was but i wasnt too sure. Thanks, binary :) shame on everyone else with their silly self aware ai theories!!

I definitely felt that the psychopaths in DR3 made up for the ones in 2. I can barely remember the ones there since they were so bland.

To be fair, 2 had that one guy that looked sort of like Walter from SH4 and the guy with the tamable tiger.

That's really all I remember of 2's psychopaths.

This is probably the most disturbing boss I've fought in a game. (Dead Rising 3 semi-spoiler, Buffet boss)

Dead Rising has always been a series with OTT boss encounters in their Psycho's but the ones I've fought so far in 3 are off the chain. I'm partially laughing, partially cringing and partially dumbstruck during their cutscenes.
