I'd be careful with Dark Souls on PC.

I got it recently and had a hell of a time getting GFWL to work. It wouldn't accept my key, it wouldn't update the game and it kicks me offline all the time.

If you want to risk it go ahead but be prepared to wait until GFWL is patched out.

Have you tried removing dsfix and updating GFWL? or go to Xbox.com and sign in there, make sure there's nothing you have to agree to.

I played it for a bit and I thought it was fun but I couldn't explain it really well. It's just an arena game in which you try to complete the goal in as little time as possible to unlock abilities and stuff, at least that's what I remember about the game.

Yeah, I tried it but the overhead combat really threw me. Thanks for the explanation.

Some of the comments are just sad. Taking it so seriously.

The whole everyone takes turns thing is bullshit though.

Way to ruin the fun of the competition.


Yes I did. I bought it this morning and haven't touched it yet. I consider it a loss.

You can't be serious.
I buy a boat for $20,000
It goes on sale a day later for $17,000
Please point to which point I lost MORE money from the sale? Nowhere, you didn't lose shit

Especially with anti-reddit communities like /v/ around. There's no way it would work so well without any competition.

Sure it can. Just the fact that if Reddit can influence the beginning of the day and create a wide margin early, people that aren't even aware of the Reddit community but still buy tokens to jump ship to the winning teams will just keep maximizing the leads.

This seems nuts to me after their previous comments on Mac as a platform.

mm, there are actually big titles available for mac and they run smootly. Slowly but correctly games moving towards Mac too. Bishock inf. was the great one to play and they ported it really quicky.

No, this is reddit:

Buying Wolfenstein, Titanfall and Watch_Dogs for full price earlier this year has left my spending habits ... muted.

I've only spent $3 or so of Steam money on some Sleeping Dogs DLC.

whatever I guess every other team is just tied for fun then.

You really think that if Valve actively fixed this they would do it in a way that is so fucking obvious? Why wouldn't the other teams be tied? It's a lot of people spread over 4 teams that randomly gain points. The people that have any pull are mostly following the plan, so the rest averages out.

My friends steam level was 10 before the sale and it's at 6 today, stopping him from redeeming new card drops.

Is there any reason behind this?

Just you wait until 25th June.

I'm not interested in any of the flash/daily/community deals, but the Lego games are all on sale for $5 (except Lego Movie since it's the newest of them all).

Buy any of the Lego games! The Lego games are amazing. I had a ton of fun with the Lego Star Wars games, and Lego Marvel. I'm personally thinking about buying Lego Harry Potter Years 1-4, or Lego Lord of the Rings. Not sure which one yet, so I'm gonna look up some reviews. Lego Marvel is a must though for everybody.

LEGO Harry Potter holds the distinction of being less action and more LEGO puzzle solving, as in figuring out what to affect with magic and putting it together to proceed forward.

LEGO Lord of the Rings has a very good world to explore if you really do enjoy that movie franchise's version of the world and the characters that inhabit it, while combat it's more of the same as what you went htrough with the other LEGO games.

Is Marlow Biggs legit good?

I'm legit shook anyone would ask this after how many times it's been asked in the SteamGAF threads. Aye, it's a good game. With faults, with moments where you can clear the development team lacked time and/or experience to fully finish and realise, but as third person action games go I enjoyed it as much as any God of War or the like, and it's far more credible than X-Blades or Garshap.

If it's cheap and you enjoy these types of titles, get it and have fun.

I bought the Can't Stop Laughing Bundle, I just realized that I own them both on 360...

Well, more people are active and sharing with Battlebox at least. So you have more co-op partners or stages to try out at least.

Today is the day that all of you realize that it's not predetermined as blue fails to win.
This post is hilarious to see after the already massive lead Blue has.

Trying to figure out which of the two to vote for now.
You relly think that if Valve actively fixed this they would do it in a way that is so fucking obvious?
If it was on short noticed after seeing how Purple was nearly going to just keep winning? Possibly. It could well have been down to Purple and Red, but that wasn't working like they wanted and they cooked up a half baked solution.

With Awesomenauts, Metal Slug 3, and the Can't Stop Laughing Pack, I think that's enough for local coop game for now.
Might spent $20 I have left on Gaf's classics.

Fair enough. I do see your point.

I'm not too mad but you have to admit it's a bit annoying. If I had bought it yesterday or a few days ago it would be fine with me. A few hours kinda sucks though.

I'll live though.

P.s. It should be more like: You buy a boat on sale. A few hours later the seller cuts the price and throws in another smaller boat for free. Tell me you wont be upset.


edit: prices have been fixed (save for bundle)
