Finally.

BL2 GOTY does not have all DLC? Huh. I should have checked before buying, hah.

To be fair, most of the DLC not included in the GOTY edition was released after the GOTY edition came out. Not sure why the Ultimate Vault Hunter Upgrade Pack 2 wasn't included in there though (it came out one month before the GOTY edition).

Key trades are risky since you don't really have anything to fall back on -- you can do a two-way trade (e.g. you give him the TF2 keys and he throws in a coupon), but there are no guarantees that Valve will help you if he just runs off without handing over what he promised, and if you pay via PayPal then you're at the mercy of eBay's notoriously crummy customer service. If the person doesn't have the stats to suggest legitimacy (a reasonably old account, at least several paid games, and some sort of sizeable rep database) then I'd err on the side of caution and steer clear.

Never trade a serial key for keys, because if something goes bad, you've lost your money.

He seems legit, 2k+ games, clean steamrep, +108rep on steamtrades, and a Canadian

GMG are giving free copies of Xcom Enemy Unknown away for voting in a best games survey.

I voted by umm there was no mention of the Playfire linkage (which I had done in the past anyway...). It forced me to make a new account. oh well

 

[Ezalc]

Euro Truck Simulator Gold Bundle worth it? I think the game was in a regular bundle some time ago wasn't it?

...As part of the process you will be asked to connect your Steam and Playfire profiles so you need to have a valid Steam account to participate and become part of Playfire Rewards to be eligible for a free copy of the game!

Just got a notice from the Steam market that I need to provide tax payer info (153 items listed this year). Has anyone who sold over 200 items ever received any documents or messages from valve about that stuff?

Depends on where are you from. I'm not from the USA, so I just checked a "not from the USA" checkbox, they checked my info, saw that I'm not from there and let me use the market without limits.

What do you mean? You'll just get blocked from selling if you reach 200 until giving them the info.

I did, though it was because I used one of my old US addresses from when I still lived there by mistake during a purchase once. I just sent them a picture of my current driver's license answered some questions about whether or not I'd be going back to the US anytime soon and when was the last time I was there and they let me use the market to sell stuff again.

Yes, I have received the email from Valve Compliance. Gave them a copy of my health card (front/back scans) and was good to go.

Seems that you get an email after the fact, according to CVG

Before you head off and cast your votes, here are the super important bullet points:

All voters (including existing voters) will be able to claim their free copy once voting has ended.
Voters will be directed to the free game giveaway site and from the 23rd of October using the email address you voted with, you will need to sign-up to Playfire (and link to Steam) in order to receive a verification email and game code.
The offer is "while stock lasts" and you'll have to be over 18 to claim.
Regular CVG readers will remember that last year this promotion nuked our servers from orbit. We've significantly increased our infrastructure since then, but please bear with us if you experience any problems.

Just bought Defense Grid 2 for cheap, can't wait to jump into it! I never actually played Warcraft or Starcraft except when it came to tower defense games. :3

 

[Aaron D.]

Euro Truck Simulator Gold Bundle worth it? I think the game was in a regular bundle some time ago wasn't it?

I think it's a steal at that price.

Great introduction/gateway drug to the vehicle sim genre.

 

[Mengy]

Euro Truck Simulator Gold Bundle worth it? I think the game was in a regular bundle some time ago wasn't it?

Hell yeah it's worth it, especially if you like driving games. It was my favorite game of last year, I now have over 80 hours played on it.

I played this game a few years back and liked it. It's not a traditional adventure game experience, but it's nice.

Rhaknar will be glad to know the RPS impressions on More doors got edited =p

I know nothing about the show but its Platinum and they have yet to let me down. As long its fun they'll get my money.

Just make sure you buy it before January.

But I don't have a wheel, can you still play the game using a controller?

 

[Original Famous Ray]

Why before January?

 

[JaseC]

Why before January?

Acti's financial year follows that of the calendar and so every January it voluntarily ditches any licences it doesn't feel are worth keeping.

2013: James Bond (valid until 2014) and Blur's vehicle licences (valid until ????)
2014: Marvel (valid until 2017) with the exception of Spider-Man due to its agreement with Sony to develop a tie-in to TASM 2 (and presumably also TASM 3)

Yo shadownet, are you getting 60 FPS in Sherlock Holmes C&P? Cuz I get like 20-50 FPS at max settings+Low shadows @_@

Faces are nicely detailed and look good though =O

You replace it with a bionic one.

So there is a risk that Korra will get removed in few months?

 

[lashman]

yes

Deadpool was only around for about 6 months before they pulled it

 

[yuraya]

Witcher marathon finished. What to do next SteamGAF? Mass Effect marathon (i finished ME1 and started ME2 couple months ago)?

I finished ME2 couple days ago. Its a damn good video game. The shooting gameplay got a bit tedious and repetitive towards the end but the story was very strong. The quests and structure of the game easily outshined the negatives. I actually like ME1 a bit more than ME2 but both were very good tbh. Haven't played ME3 yet so can't comment on that. But you should def finish 2.

 

[Deques]

yes

hmm.. I better buy it then. Maybe during the upcoming winter sale

 

[Coreda]

Has GAF ever conducted interviews with game designers, studios, etc? Was thinking of making a thread but thought I'd ask here.

Seems mostly we post news/quotes/interviews from others but apart from the occasional re-tweet I can't remember the last time I've seen a GAFer interview someone and post the transcript. Would be great to do, should be more OC on gaming side.

 

[PBalfredo]

I've just finished a very busy month and opened up Steam to catch up on playing some games, but I found a lot of my games previously installed games now suddenly uninstalled that I don't remember deleting. Has steam added some sort of automatic fridge cleaning feature, or am I just going crazy?

 

[Baron_Calamity]

I've been having a lot of fun with it.

 

[aku:jiki]

No, there's no way in hell Nickoledeon contracted Platinum for a game that's only going to be on sale for 2 months. Jase is high on koala juice again.

Sorry to say but it looks like your mental health isn't what it used to be.

Same could be said about Deadpool.

Now let me buy it, Activision!

One of the games I really want

Now this makes sense. To be sure I made my CVG account with the same email as my Playfire one though. Thanks for clearing up.

yes

Now this is a problem. I only buy heavily discounted old titles :/
Hope some trader stocks up on Korra.

Euro Truck Simulator Gold Bundle worth it? I think the game was in a regular bundle some time ago wasn't it?

I never understood the allure or even gameplay. If for example you have a "level" where you drive your truck from Amsterdam to Rome, is it a shortened version or is the level actually hundreds of km?

 

[Aaron D.]

But I don't have a wheel, can you still play the game using a controller?

ETS2 controls just fine with a 360 pad.

I believe there's a demo for the game on the dev's website. You can try before you buy.

[louiedog]

I think that dealing with Marvel licenses when their properties are probably at the the height of their value, when a Deadpool movie was probably already, or close to, greenlit, is a little different than Nickelodeon. I'd be less worried about Korra disappearing quickly.
