Actually I am on playing on Normal (I usually start games on Normal and then bump up the difficulty level if needed) and I have still died 3-4 times and I very rarely die outside of say, Dark Souls and Kamiya games.

Speaking of that.
Is there a reason I didn't get a +1 when I bought the DCS: Flaming Cliffs 3 DLC for DCS World yesterday?
It's not really important I just couldn't think of a reason

I'm thinking about taking back the nice stuff I've said about SEGA in the last few years.

Sounds like a mode I would hate. Love the store description too:
All Season Pass content will be available by March 2015. All content featured in the Season Pass will be available for individual purchase from the Xbox Store. If you purchaseAlien: Isolation Season Pass, all future content that is part of this pass will be accessible in-game once it is available. Alien: Isolation game required; sold separately.
Good luck on your journey...
Cheers.

It's just DLC. Owning DLC for an F2P game doesn't make said game count as owned, unless it's included in the DLC sub (but this is super rare).

Jesus Christ I just got L4D2 since its the daily deal and my backlog just keeps getting bigger. Damn you based Newell
They've basically ditched the RNG nonsense for weapon parts since the sniper update for new weapons though yea, I wish it was retroactive. I've had Gage Pack 1 since basically the beginning and I have yet to get the Eagle Mask in all my playtime.
And primary weapons in general need to be tweaked. The Car-4 + Gage Mod Pack and snipers every so often are in a different league compared to other primaries.
edit: The updates coming up soon are pretty awesome though. The music in Payday has always been one of the best parts and the Hotline Miami + Free Hoxton should out in a month-ish.
Good for you
That's a great way to test the waters. I'm looking forward to getting my ass kicked repeatedly and curse the game -- all in good fun, of couse.

There's a new Humble Bundle out - Valiant Comics. You get a Shadow Man Steam key if you pay more than $1.

Ah, ok. I thought it would be counted cause the F2P games you own DLC for are not removed from your library after deleting it.

Not going to lie, but I was afraid once Destiny launched we would be getting a similar surge of threads like when TLoU launched, where everyone waxed it lyrical. The multiple thread part is true, but people sure as hell ain't praising it haha.

Never understood the whining about season passes. No one is obligating anyone to purchase that stuff. Just do what any sensible person does: wait for individual pieces to come out, inform yourself on what they are and if they're any good from impressions/videos/writeups, and then weigh the value of individual components that you are interested in vs. what the season pass is worth.
and if nothing interests you or it's overpriced? let the market show that it isn't worth it for pubs/devs to produce that type of content again, or work on making future passes worth the price that the market will bear. I mean, they're making the things because people are buying them, right?

Anyone interested should also check out the Bundle Stars Night Dive Bundle which has it and a few other games for $3.49

I don't like achievement lists being extended with shitty achievement sets for new modes I don't find fun.

Indeed. I own most of the games from that bundle.
I sprung for the $1 tier. I used to have a bunch of Valiant issues when I was younger. Great stories.
Yeah, I do think that F2P games should count as owned if you own DLC for them considering they behave identically when it comes to library permanence.
Just because people are buying things doesn't somehow make them good or acceptable. People are buying into ridiculous micro transactions in free games too. Business models affect game development, as much as some would claim otherwise. You can change things by voting with your wallet but also your voice.

I remember that there was a huge snafu about a month ago because someone found an exploit/script that would allow you to automatically add every F2P game in the Steam store. I thought that was part of the reason why they changed it - a bunch of people were artificially inflating their libraries.
It was because some of the games, since they were considered owned, were handing out drops, which allowed people to create dupe accounts for the purpose of card farming. That users were increasing their game count and thus earning XP for free was by itself harmless.
humble leftovers, both are solid (play monaco with friends for the best experience)

You need owned game to use community, so it might be also against scammers.
Considering they also modified some games to always count as owned that is given free as cd keys.
(Card Drops was fixed later iirc.)

well, ok, that i get. but most of the complaints aren't usually about that.
The former is that CS agent going out of their way to make it their problem, the latter is letting it continue to be some other saps problem. They chose correctly.

Ah. That doesn't surprise me either.
I'd go further and say that you need to use your wallet and your voice. It's not enough that a publisher or developer sees their product failing to sell - people also need to tell them why they're not buying it to make matters clear.
The base requirement to use the Community Market has always been a purchase older than 30 days but not older than a year (thus ensuring the legitimacy of the payment method on file), and Steam Guard enabled for at least 15 straight days. Free on Demand games didn't count as owned for longer than a month but rather a matter of days, so even if they were considered purchases the point would be moot as nobody could have possibly used them to gain access to the market.
I'm well aware of the logistics, thank you. It's called "trying your luck".

That´s more than I´ve paid for the actual game. No, thanks.
Community, not Community Market.
I don't mean community market. But community as whole, which is limited unless you have a owned game.

Vindication, yet again!
Also, that Season Pass with cut content for Alien is not happening, SEGA.

FFIV got a stealth release, and Aspyr are hinting at a big Linux port of something.
Yeah, sorry, I misread your post. You're still incorrect, though: you'll notice that the FAQ you linked to specifies a store purchase, microtransaction or activation of a gift from another user. This excludes retail keys and free licences (well, gifts of F2P games would, I assume, actually count since the change to FoD subs, but that's neither here nor there).

What's the worst that could happen?
I get the feeling these have been made by someone who hasn't actually visited the British isles. It's pretty safe of me to say that within my near 20 years in Scotland, I've never seen a tartan painted truck in my life. They look seriously tacky.

I don't even own the game (yet...
...) but I can't pass up something for less than 10 cents. (Or three things for less than 30 cents)EDIT: Welp, nevermind. I forgot that you have to have the base game to buy DLC.
YAY!
wishlisted! It's a shame it doesn't come with The After Years thoughI'm not familiar with them. What did Aspyr made?
