Happening intensifies here!

 

[super-famicom]

I got to ask, When I sell an emoticon its usually 1 penny. When I look at the graph someone pays like 20$ for a .01 item. I see this all the time. What is going on?

Probably someone moving Steam Wallet funds between accounts.

 

[Seaklng]

Bought Skyrim. I am weak.

I almost did the same...

almost.

 

[ElectricKaibutsu]

Bought Skyrim. I am weak.

I saw it was on sale and actually deleted it off my wishlist. It's too much of a time sink! Don't they care about my backlog?

 

[Fracas]

Did you already own it, like me?

Nah. I tried on 360 a few times but couldn't get into it. Maybe 60fps will convert me

I almost did the same...

almost.

No idea if it'll make a difference, but most Russian traders are wanting 2 tf2 keys for a vanilla copy, so you can save like 50 cents haha.

When it brings up the previously sold graph it starts from the beginning on 'lifetime'. If you change it to 'this week' you won't see that, because you are seeing the crazy start prices when an item came out.

ty, still not sure

Buy it now.

 

[borghe]

The ending pissed me off. SO. FUCKING. MUCH. I was mad for a good few days after I beat the game the first time. It really was good before you get to that point though. Worth the play through imo regardless. Especially, for all the crazy cars. One of my most memorable images of the game though, is of all the cranes. Clearly, there's a lot of reference to Heavy Rain.

Spoiler

That's probably what they were trying to do with the ending though.

the actual events of the ending weren't bad.. it was just carried off so unintentionally comical that it kind of ruined it. the video game equivalent of

It's also how people will give cash on Steam.
Friend puts item up at certain price, other friend pays.

 

[Jme]

I guess I missed out on this M&Ms candy cash thing? Never even heard about it - is there a link?

 

[Sarcasm]

I wanted to craft a badge look it up and realized how pointless and eating it is. Still kind of want to.

Definitely want to do Lltq. Also thinking about legend of dungeon and teleglitch.

How do you get the different level of same badge?

 

[Dr.Acula]

ty, still not sure

Do you have CS:Source?

 

[GuardianE]

BlazBlue hasn't been a daily yet, right?

I need to pick up the last few fighters on Steam that I don't own yet.

Which... probably won't work any more with the new system.

 

[corn_fest]

Just collect the whole set of cards again and it'll upgrade to the next level.

Collect all the cards and craft it again to go up a level.

Nope, never played CS

Accounts that get hijacked they will spend outrageous sums for items from the attacks account.

You can thank Notch for not wanting to release his game on a closed platform like Steam.

I really don't blame him for not bothering, though. If there's any game that's doing just fine without being on Steam, it's Minecraft.

Kick kick kick kick kick kick kick kick kick kick kick kick kick kick kick kick...

Well, I'll try the multiplayer, surely it isn't as ba--

Kick kick kick kick kick kick kick kick kick kick kick kick kick kick kick kick...

Valve's multiplayer community, ya'll. CS:GO can be just as bad, but at least there's casual for being able to "dick around"/suck in. If you do something even wrong (or don't even have a mic) expect to be kicked from L4D2 in seconds.

Spoiler

Payday 2 is similar. Too many bads thinking it's their way or the highway for the co-op

I just want Senpai to notice me.

Ugh, good to know it wasn't just me. I guess I expected a game like that to be a little more relaxed in how people approach it, but nope, every time I tried playing either of the L4D games, I ended up in a server full of the super-serious types. Stand in the "wrong" corner of the room? Kick. Miss a single jump as one of those leaping zombies? Kick. While I understand the need to kick people who are deliberately messing things up, the small team sizes just made it too easy to kick people for whatever reason.

 

[BibiMaghoo]

It's also how people will give cash on Steam.

Is this really that common though? I assumed that because it was seen a lot, it must be because the graph is set to show item release period.

 

[Seaklng]

No idea if it'll make a difference, but most Russian traders are wanting 2 tf2 keys for a vanilla copy, so you can save like 50 cents haha.

oh mannn. that's a hard bargain to pass up... but I only have $5 so I figured I'd save it for another game. I've played Skyrim more than I'd like to admit and started idk how many characters.. I CANNOT handle that beginning scene ANY MORE. lol

 

[Stumpokapow]

It's money laundering between multiple accounts, but it will no longer be possible with the buy order system.

People do that? Wow

I almost made a new thread, but I thought asking here might be better. I've fairly recently got back into PC gaming and pretty much missed all of last gen. I started Papo & Yo and, well, at first I didn't like it but it's growing on me. Anyway, I'm looking for more 3D (non first-person) games that have feels, a strong art style, and an atmosphere that pulls you in. Kind of like Ico though not necessarily the same genre. I'm not even sure what I'm looking for exactly but all suggestions are welcome. I already picked up Brothers, btw.

 

[Jadax]

Guys, I'm checking AssFlag on other sites, and some have it listed as AssFlag Special Edition (here). Which pack on steam has all those features?

 

[_hekk05]

While I understand the need to kick people who are deliberately messing things up, the small team sizes just made it too easy to kick people for whatever reason.

Which is why I only play with friends. Tank survival is hilarious as shit

 

[Sky Chief]

So I promised myself I'd start giving away games after I win a game from ModBot, but it seems that ModBot hates me or something cause I have not won a single one. So I'm going to give a game away anyways, because fuck you ModBot:

Thank you! Hope your luck turns around.

 

[BibiMaghoo]

It's money laundering between multiple accounts, but it will no longer be possible with the buy order system.

So that is being rolled out across everything? That kind of sucks, the old way allowed you to look through CS:GO guns of the same price and buy the ones with the stickers you wanted already on them. That will be impossible now.

 

[Dr.Acula]

Nah. I tried on 360 a few times but couldn't get into it. Maybe 60fps will convert me

Oh man. Bump your u_grids to 7 (if you have a decent system), download the high-res patches, get sky_UI, and it's a blast. I'm on my second run so I got all sorts of overhauls on it like tend0 and Frostfall, but the base game is really good with the high res patches. Maybe grab a water gfx patch and a grass gfx patch from nexus, but for the most part the game is good out of the box.

The only must-have mod is sky_UI. The original inventory system is some kind of Kafkaesque nightmare.

 

[Dingotech]

Oh often do you guys think RE4 will actually go on sale?

Because I'm rather tempted to buy it and play it this weekend,

You basically named both the options. Though if you got feels from Commando, Marlow Briggs might actually fit your needs.

It also just made me mad though.

I believe the new system only rolls out to commodities, i.e. items that are only the same. If they're special, or unique in some way, it'll be the old list so you can browse the differences.

When is the last day of new sales? It says it goes through the 30th -- that means today and tomorrow are pretty much the last days with community/flash and as of the store update on the 29th it should be encore until update on 6/30, right?

 

[milena87]

I wasn't a big fan of Kotr 2. I loved the first one it but the sequel was average imo. Don't get me wrong it was decent but not amazing like the first.

Eh, I have the exact opposite opinion. I always preferred KotOR2 to KotOR1. Yes, even the vanilla version of KotOR2. KotOR1 was good, KotOR2 blew my mind.

I loved the characters (especially Kreia), I loved what Obsidian did with the world, I loved the villains, the fact that you can turn your companions into Jedi and influence them to the Dark/Light path.

I kinda hate Lucasarts for not allowing Obsidian to finish this, tbh.
