[Da DreadLord]

Got a booster like 2 days ago.

 

[Caerith]

What are you guys voting for?

Risen 2. I might actually buy it this time.

 

[itwasTuesday]

dirt 3 & mark of the ninja, $9.98. I know its not 10 dollars, but it still said i would get a card.

Now I'm sad.

 

[wetflame]

I voted for Risen 2 because someone here said that we should. My vote is easily bought when I don't care for any of the options.

 

[Papytendo]

When was the last time you guys got trading card boosters?

I haven't gotten one since the day before the steam sale began ;___;

I haven't gotten one ever. Or a foil. How do you know when you got a booster anyway?

I've yet to reach such a tipping point. GFWL has been nothing but kind to me.

Yeah, I feel like it's no problem whatsoever to people who have actually had a Xbox 360 and used it, but it's so troublesome to everyone else.

 

[Aaron]

Risen 2. I might actually buy it this time.

You shouldn't. It's shit. The first game was 10x better and it was far from perfect.

 

[Caerith]

Now that you mention it, I didn't even look to see what won the last vote.

 

[NingenJanai]

Voted Risen 2. Wishing for a 1 + 2 pack for something like 7.5€, since I have none of them and would love to.

 

[wetflame]

Wondering whether to get Arkham Asylum on the cheap and then sell off my PS3 copy. But then I probably won't play through it again, so there's not really much point.

 

[Caerith]

You shouldn't. It's shit. The first game was 10x better and it was far from perfect.

Pirates.

 

[catabarez]

Amen. I feel like it's no problem whatsoever to people who have actually had a Xbox 360 and used it, but it's so troublesome to everyone else.

wut

 

[JaseC]

Amen. I feel like it's no problem whatsoever to people who have actually had a Xbox 360 and used it, but it's so troublesome to everyone else.

Oh, I own and have used an X360, it's just that the usual issues with GFWL have yet to rear their heads at my end: I've had no issues with client updating, save corruption, etc.

It has nothing to do with that, but I have had zero problems with GFWL up to I upgraded to Win8 - and then only in Dark Souls.

 

[Aaron]

Pirates.

Badly translated and awkward fighting fake pirates. Did I mention the game also has bad stealth?

 

[Papytendo]

That's what I attempted to say, not really sure what I said. I'll take that as a cue to go to sleep.

 

[derExperte]

What does the 360 have to do with GFWL?

 

[Papytendo]

What does the 360 have to do with GFWL?

It's just that people who already have the Xbox Live account ready, for some magical reason have less problems than those who don't.

 

[Double]

Well, since Salsa told me one way to do stuff, if anyone (LOL) wants some russian prices, write me PM.

btw Salsa, you can also add me into first post.

and yeah, about boosters. Got second (third?) yesterday.

Man those prices seem tasty. Are there definitely not gonna be some Special Gaben Ops at my door afterwards? =)

 

[catabarez]

It's just that people who already have the Xbox Live account ready, for some magical reason have less problems than those who don't.

Not even a little true.

 

[Lingitiz]

Should I go for Dirt 2 or 3?

 

[toddhunter]

I've never had a problem with GFWL. The issue has always been about what happens when they turn it off.

 

[NingenJanai]

Should I go for Dirt 2 or 3?

Both are fine, but avoid showdown.

I'd get Dirt 2, Dirt 3 has some of the stupid showdown stuff.

 

[catabarez]

I didn't get my card when I got Antichamber :/

 

[Dec]

Should I go for Dirt 2 or 3?

I prefer 2 but they are both good.

 

[JaseC]

I've never had a problem with GFWL. The issue has always been about what happens when they turn it off.

GFWL as a service would be quite easy for Microsoft to maintain. Despite Grief's, frankly, rather wild assumptions to the contrary, there is nothing to suggest the service itself is going the way of the dodo -- no, GFWL as DRM being left in the cold doesn't count.

 

[kafiend]

It's just that people who already have the Xbox Live account ready, for some magical reason have less problems than those who don't.

Apart from peple like me that do have a Xbox Live account and still have nothing but trouble with GFWL.

Somehow I ended up with 2 accounts in the same name with the same email address but with different passwords. I can change the passwords on both accounts but at different times and it seems in sequence. This is not an online/offline different account thing BTW.
When I change my password, one has my new just changed password and one always has the previous password.
Its killed game saves on several occasions, been a PITA on Windows 8, made me bang my head against walls trying to get it to run games via a junction point to my SSD. It can die in a fire soon I hope.

 

[ThePeoplesBureau]

Dirt 3 going to 75% off on a flash sale is a welcome surprise. Waiting it out paid off!

Hence the first rule of Steam sales.

 

[alexandros]

I got one for Football Manager 2013 just a few days ago.

 

[Caerith]

I've never had a problem with GFWL. The issue has always been about what happens when they turn it off.

The other issue has been with save game corruption and all the other completely legitimate and quite serious problems GFWL causes for many, many people.

It's just like an item. It tells you that you've got it in your inventory.

 

[Martian]

How is Expidition:Conquistador?
Looks interesting, but i have never heard of it.
Also if I have like 10 bucks left, would Antichamber be worth it?

 

[alexandros]

How is Expidition:Conquistador?

Genuinely good old-school RPG. Graphics are not much to look at but gameplay is good.

 

[ThePeoplesBureau]

Flash sales are king. I have learned this now

 

[ZenaxPure]

Damn, I want two of those games. How are D3 and CiM2?

I bought CiM2, only played about 30 minutes so far but I am really digging it. The UI is really great and does an amazing job at conveying all the information I want to know (at the start anyway, can't speak how that progresses as I expand and stuff). There is a pretty good tutorial to get you started as well. Seems like there is a lot of things you can tinker with too.

Back to playing it now though!

 

[toddhunter]

Yeah not arguing about that, just speaking personally. I've lost way more saves from the walking dead for example.

 

[Salsa]

Trials and Zeno Clash II daily

I can totes feel it

 

[Maklershed]

Steam question but unrelated to the sale: Are there any good western rpg's similar to Mass Effect or Fallout on steam that hasnt made it to the consoles?

 

[Dec]

There are negatives to GFWL that every single user experiences. Patches have to run through 6-12 business days of MS cert, and also cost money.

Really hurts multiplayer games, which is why a lot of them switched off.

 

[Papytendo]

Steam question but unrelated to the sale: Are there any good western rpg's similar to Mass Effect or Fallout on steam that hasnt made it to the consoles?

This is a good question. Does such thing even exist?

HARD MODE: Not Indie

 

[JaseC]

Trials and Zeno Clash II daily

I can totes feel it

I'd be okay with this.

 

[Addnan]

I wonder if they improved Trials since launch. It was a complete clusterfuck. I feel bad for giving them money.

 

[Salsa]

KOTOR 1&2? I mean they were in the original XBOX, but there's a big chance you didnt play em

edit: I mostly responded as a recommendation but I guess you're asking for no particular reason?

 

[KarmaCow]

A little offtopic but for anyone that has backed the Shadowrun Returns kickstarter, have you still not received your Steam key?

 

[NingenJanai]

Should I get the Dungeons of Dredmore DLC? I played a few hours the game and found it interesting though quite difficult depending on the randomization.

I brought the first one and I played it a lot, but some stuff really bugged me. Are you finding it hard to turn a profit? Are there always 1k+ ppl waiting for buses/trains?

Thanks for your input.

 

[Crayons]

I finally accumulated enough money to buy a $20 Steam wallet card!

Speaking of which, does anyone know the details on the GameStop promotion when you trade stuff towards a steam card? Saw it on steam news thing but x'd it before I could read it.

This is what I found about that.

Edit: Oh, that was last year.

 

[FlyingSaucer]

So, Dark Souls has been #1 of the best-selling titles for a few hours now.

Does anybody here has an idea of how many copies sold it means ? I still have hopes for my GOTGen to reach 10M one day
