You can start reading from here.


Yeah, you may be right. Maybe my mind automatically skips the bullshit when browsing the regular thread, especially if it's attached to a familiar name.

I admit that what I quoted in my previous post isn't the worst I've seen, and in fact it isn't particularly bad. It's just that this threads move so fast, and it's getting a little tiresome to see so many unrelated stuff. 2 nights ago we were having some great talks about actual games, what happened to that?

A little drama can be fun (javadots anyone?), but there comes a point where I feel we really need to try to get back on track. Yeah, I know, I'm nobody to say what we should and shouldn't talk about, I'm not even a good poster (and I've done my fair share of derails too), and it's good to have fun here. But getting so off-topic can render the thread useless, or at least hard to get into. For better or worse, we're not on Community, so we shouldn't forget this thread is still about Steam related stuff.

Sorry for the rant.

It was an awkward conversation but it certainly wasn't off topic. Chugen was propositioning me in exchange for a game, at least that's how I saw it..

What's wrong with Asylum?

Also, DXHR 85% Daily.. YESS!!! I had missed the choice discount, I'll get this now!

Is the Deus Ex DLC worth a crap? Should I get the bare game or the GOTY thing?

The DLC is nice and substantial (5-6 hours)

How recommended are the Killing Floor DLCs?

None are needed, the developers work in a way that all new maps and most new weapons are updated freely with the game, and typically there are 4-5 updates a year (during summer, halloween, winter, and one or two other random events during the year).

The paid DLC is mainly costumes and some special weapon packs. Some of the costumes are cool, either they release in packs of four if they're just costume changes, or as a singular costume if there's something about the costume that is special (like a special effect on the character, a new voice pack made for them, etc.).

The weapon pack I WOULD suggest you get, but wait on the others to see if you love the game, would be this weapon pack. It's on sale unlike the recently packs, the other released pack on sale is just golden sparkly versions of in-game weapons, and the weapons in the pack are actually pretty fun to use in my opinion, ranging from a scythe to a gun that shoots fire to a bow that shoots buzzaws. Your choice if you want it of course:

Dark Souls for $7.50 later today? Oh hell yes.

My wallet is getting destroyed. I now own exactly 150 games on Steam. Not bad for only having my PC for a year and a half

The Missing Link DLC is definitely worth getting.

It's 5-6 hours of content.

I have standard Mount and Blade (Bought a boxed copy in a dollar store and activated it on steam)
What should I pick up in the Mount and Blade sale? Dlc for that? Or just The fire standalone? I haven't kept up with Mount and Blade news at all

Buy Warband.

Fire & Sword is different, I wouldn't say it sucks, but I haven't played it nearly as much as I did Warband (TaleWorlds also had comparatively little to do with Fire & Sword).

Play Warband, try some of the amazing mods, and come winter sale or next summer sale if you want to try WFaS, grab it!

Did the Steam iPhone app stop working for anyone else? I keep getting errors.

 

[antitrop]

Asylum? Since when?

Pretty sure the issues were patched quickly, but it was fucked at launch.

 

[Grief.exe]

Don't be silly, WB refused to comment on GFWL on AC when asked by gamers, they didn't bother to listen, why would they now?

There is some evidence, somewhat circumstantial. But it seems to pile up.

I know you guys had enough Reus talk by now, but I feel obligated to inform you that someone just pointed out to me that EU gaffers can grab the game cheaper from Humblestore for 5$ = 3,80€ during the next 60 minutes:

Also, really glad we had a few people buying it here. Doesnt seem like most regretted it so far Reading some positive impressions from others in the Indie threads.

I know all of you fellow GAFfers are busy getting some Cards, and speaking about this amazing sale here on the amazing GAF but today I finally found some time to play the 400 Days DLC for The Walking Dead.

I was trying to resist playing right now because I finished this game back in November and I wanted to get back to it in the Winter, because for some reason reason, this feels a game to be played in the cold Winter while you are drinking some warm coffee or tea at home (I know it may be silly but there are games I like to play on certain seasons of the year).

It really makes you want more out of it, however, I'm not sure about I made the best decisions but most of them I made with my heart. I hope more people can play the game for the first time and get the DLC down the road. I really liked, it just felt a little short, giving you the hunger for more. Thank you for everything, GAF.

Sounds just like my experience, indeed. Glad to hear you liked it.

 

[Dinosur]

I don't know why it took so long, but finally tried Primal Carnage last night. Holy moly is that game fun. Yeah it's mostly a 20v20 clusterfuck, but there's a nice variety between classes/dinosaurs.

Don't know if it was because of influx from recent sale, but the players were really helpful with questions too.

If you don't normally play MMOs, I'd say nay. Granted it looks like a fun game, but I'd say you'd have to normally play an MMO to make it worth the purchase.

It was yesterdays Steam sale, so the Reus Steam deal will end today, but I was specifically referring to the Humblebundle deal which allows EU gaffers to buy the game for 62% off (5$ = 3,80$) for the next hour.

 

[Milamber]

I just noticed that Batman: Arkham Asylum got achievements. Do I have to restart my game to get the past achievements?

 

[Wok]

The sad truth is that in regular Steam threads and special threads like this, there are always people who want to essentially make the thread about themselves.

The problem is that the special Steam threads aren't as intimidating to new people, so you end up with a a bunch of new people who clash up against the regulars who feel they've earned their cult of personality.

Both are tolerable in brief excursions, and it would only take me a few moments to find something objectively worse than what you highlight there from the regular thread -- it was just tolerated because, man, it's that funny guy Morningbus doing that silly shtick he always does. I understand it feels worse because there are a lot more people basically vying for attention and some behavior has been particularly annoying, but it isn't unique to these special threads.

The morning bus is the place where you sit and take the time to reflect upon your daily materialistic attitude while staring out of the window. Every time the Asian guy posts, it is time to take some distance and think.

Alright then, it seems I'll be looking for someone from the US or some other region with access to Dark Souls to buy me 2 copies of that game later today. Any takers? PM me. I can either pay with PayPal or gift games of equivalent price.

The evidence is entirely circumstantial. It's possible that work is being done in tandem with the Steamworks integration to rid the games of pre-existing DRM measures, but there is nothing even remotely concrete in that regard.

 

[Echelon079]

I would love to see Rogue Legacy as a daily deal. I realize that it's relatively newer but I'm super interested in it.

 

[maty]

I just woke up and of course Surgeon Simulator won over Primordia. The Community vote is worthless

 

[Karu]

I prefer Asylum's more focused Metrovania approach. I was hoping Origins would return to that, but alas.

Same here. Was so hyped for City, which was overall a huge disappointment for me. Asylum still one of my fav games this gen.

It's my first MMO, I'm playing it mostly solo and I'm having a blast. The story, atmosphere and investigation quests are amazing.

This analogy is apt. Every time he posts I whip out my vita and play Mortal Kombat.

That's the one game I've been waiting for! If it doesn't go any further I'll bite my lip and just buy it. I played a bunch of my friends copy, I have to buy it at some kind of discount lol.

It's almost 99% name recognition when it comes to CV.

The other 1% is when the percentage is bigger than the others by a big margin.

Interesting read, I would be very happy if that turns out to be real.

I'm holding off on playing both AC and BioShock 2. If this happens, I cant wait to dive into both of them.

I just noticed that Batman: Arkham Asylum got achievements. Do I have to restart my game to get the past achievements?

Achievements have not been activated yet for both BioShock 2 and Batman:AA

You cray cray. Surgeon Simulator is hilariously fun. I bought it before the flash sale and still voted for it.

That isn't his argument. Surgeon Simulator has been on sale multiple times now.
Time to give a different game its time in the sun.
