Is Mad Max Family Sharable? Also not seeing info about it blocking\allowing cross-region trades.

All games are trade-restricted by default these days. As long as you don't buy Mad Max through someone in Central/South America, Eastern Europe, South-east Asia or Turkey, you'll be fine, but I'd first try grabbing it from Nuuvem with a VPN since it's only ~$23.

WB added lots of Batman Arkham Knight DLCs on DLC List in SteamDB. I really want to see what will they do with pricing and Season Pass content on PC when they start selling game again.

 

[derExperte]

Congrats on your 3k unlocked achievement milestone.

Me myself recently got over 6000 achievements unlocked after playing Crimsonland

Steam certainly need a better achievement functionality, like a better showcase on rarest achievements. Right now it only shows six rarest.

Hey, we're rather close, even in terms of game count.

If it weren't for a severe lack of Goat Sim achievements I'd name you my new favorite SteamGAFer.

My Steam family hasn't had any issues playing my copy. Based Valve. Thank you Gabe for the greatest feature in modern gaming.

 

[Baron_Calamity]

I just realized that after playing Hero of the Kingdom II, I surpassed 3,000 Steam achievements.

I wish there was more achievement-based functionality on Steam.

Me too. I wish there was an achievement showcase that allowed you to select which achievements you are proud off instead of the rarest. My Ms Splosion Man Pinball FX achievement will always be my rarest since hardly anyone bought the table. My achievement showcase use to be all pink and purple then i played Star Wars KOTOR II.

Alright, here, have my showcase:

If I remember correctly, the people that already bought Ethan Carter prior to this new edition, will get this one for free, so I'm glad I didn't wait too long

I had a lot of stuttering and crashes with the original, with new engine it could be even worse :/

 

[Stallion Free]

It's the better option too. Rare achievements tend to look ugly. Profile aesthetics are serious business.

Divinity: Original Sin 2 – Kickstarter FAQ

When is Divinity: Original Sin 2 going to be released?

We plan to release Divinity: Original Sin 2 in late 2016. Of course, this date may be changed as our plans evolve! Any delays to the game will be announced in a timely manner, but late 2016 is the deadline we’re aiming for. We’re currently about a year into development, having started work on it right after the release of Divinity: Original Sin.

For which platforms will Divinity: Original Sin 2 be available?

Right now, we’re focusing on Windows only. Additional platforms may be announced in the future. Believe us, it’s not that we’re not interested in producing a version for Mac/Linux/Console, it’s just that we want to get the gameplay and world fleshed out in all the detail that it needs first. Once we have the game fully worked out, we’ll start looking at porting it to other platforms. That’s not something that’ll happen during the Kickstarter or indeed this year. But – and it’s an important but – we do have most things in place to support several other platforms, since we are starting work from the Divinity: Original Sin- Enhanced Edition engine. We just don’t want to make any promises yet.

In which languages will Divinity: Original Sin 2 be available?

We plan to release in English, with French, German, and Russian subtitles. We may be announcing extra languages later in the development process.

Will Divinity: Original Sin 2 support controllers?

Yes, the game will support a wide range of PC-compatible controllers, including Xbox One and PS4 controllers.

Will Divinity: Original Sin 2 have couch co-op and split screen support?

Yes, the game will work seamlessly with two players in split screen. In addition, the game will support online play via Steam and GOG Galaxy, as well as LAN play.

Will Divinity: Original Sin 2 have full voiceover?

It’s unlikely that DOS2 will be fully voiced. While we’d like to voice everything, this is a game with exponentially more dialogue options than Divinity: Original Sin (the recording of which took seven straight months!), and we don’t think there’s any way we can voice it all with the resources we expect to have. We’ve tripled the size of our writing team, so we’re looking at at least three times more content to record.

Will Divinity: Original Sin 2 have a day & night cycle?

No, we have no plans to introduce a day and night cycle. What we’re trying to do at the narrative & scripting level is really complicated, so to even contemplate adding yet another extra dimension of complexity to that gives us a headache. The impact of the player origins combined with a higher level of freedom than the already insane amount of freedom you had in Divinity: Original Sin, added to the options required for multiplayer mode already means that our development is going to be hugely complex. Until we tame all of that, we won’t add an extra layer. Perhaps for another game, but definitely not for this one.

How will character creation work in Divinity: Original Sin 2?

Character creation is still something of a work in progress, but essentially you will choose your origin story, and then build your character based on that. You’ll be able to choose your race, appearance, stats, and more! The number of available characters from which you’ll be able to choose is still under discussion, but we’re hoping to give you a wide range of origin stories to work with, so that each journey through the game will be very different, depending on your choice of characters for your party, and the choices you then make within the game.

Considering the work that is being put into co-operative play, how will this affect the single-player experience?

At the start of a single-player game, you pick one character and determine your starting stats, race, and origin story. You’ll also be able to choose up to three companions, each of whom is just as detailed as the character you’re playing, with their own origin story and motivations. In terms of the narrative development for the companions, in single-player that will depend on the actions of the main character. In multi-player, the other players decide that.

We’ve found that the emphasis on competitive questing in Divinity: Original Sin 2 makes the single-player experience much better than its predecessor. We’re focusing on making the narrative even more engaging – and that translates directly into a really fantastic single-player experience. You might not spend your time stabbing your friends in the back, but all of the content and freedom that makes the multiplayer experience so strong is still present when you’re playing on your own.

Do you plan to release a physical copy of Divinity: Original Sin 2?

No, all versions of the game available in Kickstarter will be digital, and the finished version should be the same. We’re trying to avoid physical DVDs, as it makes patching the game an awful lot harder. Not shipping a physical disc means that we can update the game easily, which means more developer time spent on features, allowing us to make a better game.

If we back the Original Sin Pack, do we have to wait until December 2016 to get a key for Divinity: Original Sin – Enhanced Edition?

No. Don’t worry, if you back the Original Sin Pack, (or any pack that includes a copy of Divinity: Original Sin – Enhanced Edition) you’ll get your key for the Enhanced Edition as soon as it’s released, which is planned for October of this year.

What is the difference between the original Divinity: Original Sin and the new Enhanced Edition?

The Enhanced Edition refers to an imminent new version of Divinity: Original Sin (which was originally released in 2014). You can read more on it here: http://www.divinityoriginalsin.com/blog.php?news=65

If I back Divinity: Original Sin 2 and I want to get my copy on GOG, will I still have Alpha/Beta access?

You’ll definitely be able to access the Alpha/Beta through Steam (and hopefully through GOG too, but we’re working on that at the moment and it’s not 100% certain). However, the Alpha/Beta access that you choose won’t affect which version of the game you get when it ships. So, you can access the Alpha/Beta through Steam and then get the final game on GOG.com if you want.

Will there be add-ons?

This is currently under consideration, but we don’t have any more details at this point in time.

Are you hiring?

We’re always on the lookout for new talent! See here for more:

Thanks, I wanted confirmation on the Enhanced edition key and it provided that answer!

Also:

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

It's still using a very similar art style to the show, so we'll have to see how it goes for them.

The similar art style is because the new character designs are being done by Lauren Faust, the main creative force of the show's first season.

I spent about 5 hours today sucked in to the new Diablo 3 Season / Update. So good.

Tomorrow I go back to my regular routine - back to work, and back to making updates to Enhanced Steam and/or Idle Master. It's been a slow recovery for me the past week, but (like always) gaming has done wonders to help me through the hard times in life.

Stay healthy man!!!

Hopefully they will go back and port the game to windows as well, properly this time.

So I spent 15mins looking for a piece of scrap at a random scavenger location in Mad Max, nothing. Turned out I parked the car on top of it. Not the first time I've done that, once parked an ambulance on top of a patient in Rescue: Everyday Heroes, he was fine. Bugger to find though.

Missed your edit.

Honestly, I don't know. I guess I liked almost every game I played so far and when I didn't, I tried to get as many achievements as possible before moving on. I try to get 100% when I like a game that is not so difficult. I'm a weirdo.

The port was certainly horrible but I played it on PS3 and let me tell you that that was a very special experience in itself. Maybe the 360 version was great but I suspect that the game is just fundamentally fucked so I wouldn't get my hopes up.

I was hoping to get it cheaper than the sale price

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

Finally finished that $1 humble origin bundle copy of Dead Space 3 i got a while back. Cooped it with my brother.

It's, eh, not that good. It's also not that bad, but boy half the game feels like fetch quests and the other half feels like some sort of okay shooter with a 14 year old's best written script tied to it all. And it does the Asura's Wrath/PoP 2008 thing where the ending is just a setup for you to buy their DLC.

Man, I can't believe they bungled DS3 like this.
