Anyone who played that mess deserves a badge of honor.
Especially if they somehow managed to beat it with just the keyboard.

Uh, I beated the game, just with the keyboard. Don't ask how, I don't even know lol

Spoiler

although more aggravating than the control scheme was the fact that they didn't even bother to change the QTE prompts to keyboard controls. Fun times in that first fight against Krauser.

So 2 different people gifted me Valiant Hearts at pretty much the same time. Was there a pricing error or flash deal or something to warrant such thing? Not that people can't be generous or that it can't be a coincidence, but considering who sent them I have my doubts ;P

Are you some sort of Messiah? What did you do to earn such generosity?

 

[UncleO]

just when i thought i was done, i see Ass Creed's i want back on sale...how do i convince my wife to let me pick them up.

Thats some insidious shit right there. I wouldn't have even bothered.
I would love to see a port come out in that state today. Would be absolute hell here on GAF.

So, we're trying to figure out the true rules behind the Steam sweepstakes, whether only US citizens are eligible to receive free games.
Anyone here from outside the US who actually received games from the giveaways?

[Jawmuncher]

I just remembered this exists.

After steamworld dig I have a new mission...It can't be worse than Dino Crisis 3.

 

[BinaryPork2737]

awesome - thanks guys. finally going to dive into civ after all these years.

i guess i should go for the "complete" version...over vanilla

I definitely recommend the complete version over vanilla civ v. It felt lackluster at launch, since civ iv with the bts expansion had far more content in it. Luckily, the expansions left civ v feeling more polished and fuller than it was at launch, with some of the older aspects of the previous civ games coming back.

I could still probably go back to the rhye's and fall of civilization mod but civ v is perfectly fine as it is now.

 

[Stumpokapow]

So is modbot down? Sent a PM to register games, still no reply.

Modbot is dead...

I just checked ModBot's PMs from the last 40 minutes or so and don't see any from you. Are you sure you sent a PM to ModBot?

It was 0,15 cents in the RU store as a pricing-error so you can get the game easily for like 2 keys right now.

 

[Sourtreats]

It is a really good game. Great visuals, fun and intuitive gameplay, compelling progression. When you get beyond the feeling people have that it doesn't live up to whatever they thought or were told it was, or go in blind, and just play it as a game... it's really solid.

I loved it entirely.

The same thing happened with Valiant Hearts, both are among my favourite sale purchases.

 

[Spring-Loaded]

Was Another World ever a flash or daily deal yet?

 

[General_Frags]

What's the likelihood of Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 being a flash/daily its 10% off the moment.

 

[inky]

Are you some sort of Messiah? What did you do to earn such generosity?

Nothing really. I just have something they want and I won't trade them for it. I really don't know if it is generosity or, you know, just trying to grease the wheels and score some points or whatever.

I'm sorry if I sound super cynical, but I can't really tell. These are not people I have any conversations with for starters, I just added them because.

Gotcha, thanks. =)

Except it got set to NoCrossRegionTrading, so you can't any more.

I think the GAFer who won wasn't from the US.

 

[mfaex]

I should probably buy Dark Souls while it's on sale, but I need money for my dota hats.

 

[Linkark07]

Got home and found Dishonored was on discount. Finally. Now waiting Ys games and then I'm done with this sale.

 

[BinaryPork2737]

Was Another World ever a flash or daily deal yet?

Not in this sale, it's always been 75% during this one. Not sure about older sales, though.

I had no idea that even existed. Make sure to do a review for us.

Then find a way to play Dino Crisis Dungeon In Chaos.

 

[Majukun]

The series are so different, though, that there's nothing you can really learn from Civ 5 that would help you with EU4, so it depends to a great extent on what you want from a strategy game. Civ 5 is fine for what it does, but if you want a much more in depth game that takes into account actual history, then EU4 is a much better choice.

true enough,but europa can be overwhelming in many aspects,also it's a much slower game than civ.
The only (really big) problem with CIv V it's the AI for me,disappointing in many aspects,especially counting how warmongering is treated

 

[Chairmanchuck]

Except it got set to NoTrading, so you can't any more.

Oh. When was that? I still helped someone get it like 8 hours ago.

 

[Moussi]

is it just me or are the steam servers wonky right now? trying to download deus ex here but it goes from 6.8 mbps all the way down to 0 bytes every min or so lol... then it's fine and it fucks up again. suggestions??

 

[jediyoshi]

Just think if Uplay ever goes under......fuck

So many recently awesome pc games on uplay that will be lost.

Were you talking about any games in particular? Uplay doesn't really give a shit if you try to launch offline.

 

[WavekSra]

Watchdogs and Star Citizen will have to wait a while I think

Oh wow looks fun

Have you tried switching Steam download servers?

 

[Ambition]

So I have $9.15, wat do?

 

[Lain]

Steamworld Dig is pretty nice. I'm liking all the digging around to get gems to sell for upgrades, although I can see why some would find it boring since, well, all you seem to be doing is digging to get gems to upgrade your stuff.
For me the digging down to get valuables is providing enough enjoyment, especially going all out on pick upgrades to destroy all in a single hit.

 

[Tizoc]

What's the likelihood of Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 being a flash/daily its 10% off the moment.

Wasn't Los2 a daily/flash already or was it just the first game?

 

[Turfster]

Like... 4? 5? hours ago.

 

[Moussi]

no i am going to do that. thank you.

 

[DunderHassan]

I think the GAFer who won wasn't from the US.

I see, hope he get in touch soon then or at least someone know who the gaffer is, because this is a huge deal if only US citizens are allowed to receive games.

 

[derExperte]

Was 2. Still over 20€.

Must've been in the first Steam thread, unfortunately I can't remember his name.

How's everyone's luck in the M&M giveaway been lately?

I haven't won in like two days, and I enter it with five phones every day.

 

[MrTeachwell]

I warned you guys, there's a short giveaway incomming

 

[NotSelf]

I am weak and GAF is persuasive. Thanks for pushing me over the edge guys!

I want to install but it seems they still haven't patch the music

 

[akira28]

I just checked ModBot's PMs from the last 40 minutes or so and don't see any from you. Are you sure you sent a PM to ModBot?

Mudbutt is probably wondering "wtf, Steam sale?"

I only won the first day.

 

[Rhaknar]

yes it was a flash with an amazing 25% discount

 

[BinaryPork2737]

Wait for the dailies.

0/6 here. I think. I've sort of lost track of how many times I've lost now.

I won a couple of minutes ago, feels good.
Sorry about your luck mang :/

 

[Mono]

You'll love it!

 

[rtcn63]

Apparently a lot people won the chance to be locked out from the Steam marketplace or something.

I'm like 1/5.

 

[mkenyon]

europa universalis IV?

Yes.

I've never ever played more than 100ish hours in any single player game, that being Civ V. Mount and Blade is pretty close around 80-90 hours. It takes a lot to get me to continue playing a single player game. Like, a lot. My gaming community is filled with pals that always pull me towards competitive stuff.

I'm not even close to burned out yet. In fact I want to play it tonight. I've been playing it since it released, and will continue to do so until the next one comes out. It's that good.

$10.00 for this game is an absolute steal. I'd gladly pay $200 for it.

 

[iosefe]

Check the hub, there is a fan patch already. or so it seems

 

[Jawmuncher]

They appear to be the same game.
Not sure the what the difference in title is though....interesting.
I shall try to compare for anything notable.

 

[BinaryPork2737]

That's why everyone should put that money into Amazon gift cards and hope for price matching
