Wormhole Scheme #2

Thanks. I take it this needs to be done in a browser rather than the client?

 

[StrangeTaco]

Can you play Dark Souls 2 with keyboard/mouse? I have original Dark Souls on Steam (friend gifted to me) but never played it once because its a pain to install and people said it was unplayable with PC control setup.

Its definitely playable, though I wouldn't recommend it.

 

[Kandrick]

So we are looking at another set of flash sales and that's it ? ( not counting encore day(s) )

Are we not getting sales for tomorrow?

 

[Shantom]

Alright Steam-Gaf, Trails in the Sky, yay or nay? It's been a while since I've played a "classic" JRPG style game before, and I'm thinking this might be a good game to play while going on some flights later this year. Would I have any troubles running it on a laptop with integrated graphics (Intel HD 5000)?

It's fantastic, so yes you should buy it. Pretty much every PC made in the last decade will be able to run it:

 

[Zeeman]

Tempted to grab Goat Simulator, but I hate buying incomplete editions and I only have $3.00 in my Steam Wallet. Anyone have any thoughts on GoatZ?

 

[Shade]

When I tried to buy it (without a vpn), I got a "Product is not available in your region" error. Is there something special I need to do?

I needed to use a VPN to purchase it the other day, but had no issues with the purchasing after that or redeeming it on Steam.

Does Fallout 3 still have GFWL?

Yes it still has GFWL, but it is not reliant on it to run. There is a mod to remove it as well if it becomes an issue.

 

[Uthred]

Any suggestions on which Europa Universalis IV expansions to prioritise?

 

[marjo]

Someone else mentioned this too. I think Nuuvem must have tightened their region restrictions since I bought it.

Edit: http://m.neogaf.com/showthread.php?t=1024975
Has some VPN directions.

Thanks. I'll have a look.

 

[zer0blivion]

How does Dreamfall: TLJ compare to the first one?

I loved them both. The writing is great. Crow is the best.

 

[irriadin]

Wait, why is the Max Payne Complete pack $54.96?

I'm hoping it's a mistake. I really want all three Max Payne games...

 

[KingoftheRing]

Awesome, thanks for the info. Didn't realize it had such low recommended specs, looking forward to this based on GAF's recommendations!

 

[weevles]

I'm afraid to ask this, but here goes: GoatZ worth it, or am I good with Goat Sim w/free Goat MMO. (>_<)

 

[Starwolf_UK]

How do you specify which room to enter?

In Chrome press F12 (on the minigame page) and then type:
JoinGame(47365);
Btw, that room is now full and if it wasn't you can only join if your highest level has been >2 000 000

 

[FF Seraphim]

Yes!

Bought and installing now!

 

[Dog Problems]

Ah, got it. That also answers my question about using a browser or client, hah. Yeah, my highest level is around 550K so I wouldn't have been able to join.

 

[robotrock]

Dragonball!

 

[Se7enSword]

Bought and installing now!

Who's awesome? You're awesome!

 

[shmoglish]

Is sudeki good for 3€?

 

[CreepingFear]

I'm hoping it's a mistake. I really want all three Max Payne games...

I'm just buying them individually

May Payne $2.49
May Payne 2 $9.99
Max Payne 3 Complete 6.99=

$19.47

Now to decide if I should buy Dark Souls 2. I guess it's not going on sale if Saturday and Sunday are encores?

 

[John Dunbar]

Still disappointed Dreamfall: The Longest Journey didn't get an extra discount when Dreamfall Chapters was on a deal. At least it's discount is reasonable this sale.

dreamfall: the longest journey is $3.79 on gog.com now.

Can you play Dark Souls 2 with keyboard/mouse? I have original Dark Souls on Steam (friend gifted to me) but never played it once because its a pain to install and people said it was unplayable with PC control setup, plus I don't have a gamepad.

Are you not aware of the M/KB mod for Dark Souls 1? The sequel works out of the box with M/KB, but it's still not optimal.

 

[MostWantedZero]

Finally picked up One Finger Death Punch

Such an addicting game.

 

[TheSeks]

well, hopefully tomorrow I'm in luck and land a lobby with 50K new wormholes ever so often.

You're not. A lot of trolls are coming out of the wood work and nuking the boss instead of wormhole-ing.

I'm close to 300,000 after 3 hours. Maybe I'll get 24,000,000 by the end of today. *sigh* The room was jumping at the start and then a bunch of reddit folks jumped ship to their secret club. Stupid. :/

 

[FF Seraphim]

Wait... Saturday and Sunday are encore days for the sale?! WHY!?!

 

[EdmondD]

Can you play Dark Souls 2 with keyboard/mouse? I have original Dark Souls on Steam (friend gifted to me) but never played it once because its a pain to install and people said it was unplayable with PC control setup, plus I don't have a gamepad.

Yeah, I played 100 hours beat the game and beat every boss using keyboard and mouse controls. Better to use a controller but they did a good job on the keyboard and mouse controls.

 

[TheOnlyMook]

I haven't purchased anything this sale. Nothing has really jumped out at me so far.

 

[AnathemicOne]

Are you not aware of the M/KB mod for Dark Souls 1? The sequel works out of the box with M/KB, but it's still not optimal.

I haven't, because I haven't put a single second into the game due to its nebulous installation process.

Its definitely playable, though I wouldn't recommend it.

Yeah, I played 100 hours beat the game and beat every boss using keyboard and mouse controls. Better to use a controller but they did a good job on the keyboard and mouse controls.

Hmmm I might see if Dark Souls 2 goes on sale then in the next few days. I was just watching some vids for Dungeon Defender 2, should I splooge GAF?

I haven't purchased anything this sale. Nothing has really jumped out at me so far.

I've only purchased the lego edition of Skyrim because I know I'll want to play it in the future but not now (modding is a long and tiresome process), and Alice: Madness Returns which is fun but most likely only worth 1 playthrough (maybe two). Other than that, nothing is really jumping at me either.

 

[gdt]

So this is the last day of new sales? So time to buy Dark Souls II?

 

[StrangeTaco]

So this is the last day of new sales? So time to buy Dark Souls II?

Theres one more set of flash deals but after that yeah might as well.

 

[BShadowJ]

So KF2 is showing to me as 16€, 20% off 20€. I saw apparently the base price is 27€, so isn't this way cheaper than it should be? Or did they lower the price for Europe sometime after release?

 

[CreepingFear]

Another question: Why the fuck do they have split 32 bit and 64 bit editions of Dark Souls 2? Luckily, I did my research, but that is just a fishy way of doing business.

 

[rainking187]

Is there any chance of past flash deals showing up during the encore days? I think the winter sale was just dailies but I don't remember if that's the norm or not.

 

[Reuenthal]

Strange, Tropico 4 collectors bundle at 4.19 Euro including a a lot of dlc and Tropico 4 special edition is cheaper than Tropico 4 special edition alone at 5.24 euro. I liked Tropico 3 which I got for free from humblebundle I think, so I am going to get the collector edition of Tropico 4.

 

[zer0blivion]

dreamfall: the longest journey is $3.79 on gog.com now.

Good find! $6.28 for both The Longest Journey and Dreamfall:TLJ

[Deception]

Never played any of the Fallout games so I decided to get Fallout 3 and NV Goty editions. Time to see what all the hype is about.

 

[Nickle]

I want to buy a current gen game to see if my laptop will be able to run it at low settings, but I plan on refunding the game before I play 2 hours. Can anyone suggest a game without a huge file size that will let me test this? A free demo also works.

 

[kitschbeam]

Both DBXV and PCars are on sale right now but even after 50% discount they're still kinda pricey.

Dunno which one to pick. Or maybe I should skip both games entirely :/

 

[TheSadRanger]

Been playing Gods Will be Watching since I picked it up on flash.

Spent over half an hour wiping on the first section to finally charge the hacking bar only to realize there's a second bar I need to charge.

 

[Tarin02543]

Can you play Dark Souls 2 with keyboard/mouse? I have original Dark Souls on Steam (friend gifted to me) but never played it once because its a pain to install and people said it was unplayable with PC control setup, plus I don't have a gamepad.

I play on keyboard (mechanical) only. Hell Yeah.

 

[chaosblade]

Okay thanks I may just grab the PC version then.

The translation changes are pretty minor, it had been a while since I played it on PSP but nothing really stood out to me as different. But the changes are apparently important to fit better with future games, so that makes the PC version ideal.

 

[Ibuki]

People are saying these are the last dailies, then why does it say New Deals in 21 hours on the front page? Wouldn't tomorrow be the last set of dailies, and the day after be encore?

 

[WrenchNinja]

Fallout 3 and New Vegas worth it without the DLC?

 

[Amneisac]

People are saying these are the last dailies, then why does it say New Deals in 21 hours on the front page? Wouldn't tomorrow be the last set of dailies, and the day after be encore?

They're still technically new deals even if they're encores. They'll be new from what's on sale today.

 

[StrangeTaco]

People are saying these are the last dailies, then why does it say New Deals in 21 hours on the front page? Wouldn't tomorrow be the last set of dailies, and the day after be encore?

No because deals last 48 hours total. So they will expire noon (CST) on Monday

 

[FloatOn]

It's crappy REmake is only 25 percent off. That's what it was at the start of the sale.

 

[YuriLowell]

So which one do I want for Resident Evil Revelations 2?

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

Now to decide if I should buy Dark Souls 2. I guess it's not going on sale if Saturday and Sunday are encores?

So this is the last day of new sales? So time to buy Dark Souls II?

There's still at least one more round of flash sales. I'd say hold until then before pulling the trigger. It'll be the same price on sat or sunday so nothing is lost waiting for one more flash sale.

also, the DS games are much MUCH better with a controller. They really aren't well designed for KB&M.

 

[Ibuki]

Thanks for the replies, I guess I don't have to wait for DS2 Scholar any longer.

 

[firehawk12]

Fallout 3 and New Vegas worth it without the DLC?

Based on my console experience with the games, you really want to get the DLC if you intend to play through the games completely.
