So what was wrong with the old Steam Market system that made them use this new one?

 

[BibiMaghoo]

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.

Cool, that is Ok then.

 

[Seaklng]

I just woke up and there is an animu game as a flash deal? Is this real life? Gotta go through 40 missed pages now and apparently i missed some kind of nsfw fanfic. So kawaii.

I voted for Masterpiece - Classic.

BLUE IN SECOND PLACE HOLY CRAP

#tb4l

I think it's gone now.

 

[MikeDown]

Bad kitty.

my thoughts exactly rofl


- Also try to keep it appropriate for this site. I don't want people getting banned

 

[xBladeM6x]

My God Shovel Knight is so good. I need Magicite to be on a bigger sale now. -_-

 

[Fracas]

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.

Sounds good. I don't have the most capable system but I can probably squeeze in a few graphical mods.

 

[Jadax]

Alright I'm giving away some of the best shooters. One of these is the Metro Redux Bundle. I repeat one of these is the Metro Redux bundle. Good luck

Ye, but what's stopping people from entering all 3

 

[Hugstable]

Nice! So many Long Live the Queen giveaways. I actually really like this game, doing my second run through now. Gotta watch out for those chocolates.

 

[super-famicom]

Nice LLTQ giveaways, guys!

 

[xBladeM6x]

Nice! So many Long Live the Queen giveaways. I actually really like this game, doing my second run through now. Gotta watch out for those chocolates.

This game just sounds hilarious. xD

 

[Absoludacrous]

C'mon Baulder's Gate...running out of days here...

 

[Acccent]

I have trouble understanding how a wall of text, regardless of its content could not be safe for work in an environment where the forums themselves are...?

 

[JakkuFurosu]

thats alot of Queens being given out.
Thx for the giveaways

 

[Chariot]

Nice! So many Long Live the Queen giveaways. I actually really like this game, doing my second run through now. Gotta watch out for those chocolates.

Next valentines day will be terrible for most SteamGaffers.

 

[Lazulic]

Funny thing is I'm still entering all the other raffles for LLTQ because I don't actually have it myself.

 

[Jawmuncher]

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

Forgot about the new system.
Guess that's why they implemented it. Though I suppose you could still work it on certain items.

 

[Mokoi]

Ye, but what's stopping people from entering all 3

If you enter more than one game you're blocked from entry.

 

[ItsGeeMcGee]

Modbot the Enforcer

 

[Darth Kupi]

Dark Void Zero is one of the best Fake-NES games I've ever played.

You might like it. Has Securom though, although the forums told me how to unrevoke your coy before uninstalling so you don't lose an activation.

 

[NoWayOut]

LMAO, this dude.

Did you never play Biohazard 4 before? It's a Gamecube game, did you expect PS3 or better graphics?

No, I never played it and judging by RE4 I glad I didn't. As I said the crappy "HD" graphics are the least of my problems with the game. The controls in this game are just ridiculously bad and wonkie to be generous.

 

[Turfster]

So what was wrong with the old Steam Market system that made them use this new one?

As stated a few times upthread, people could use it to basically launder money.

 

[borghe]

Ye, but what's stopping people from entering all 3

it says right in the quote. If you enter more than one of those raffles (in the same modbot post) you are disqualified from them.

 

[Stumpokapow]

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.

Any item that is a commodity (all listings of item identical) will use the new system. Any item that is not a commodity (listings of items differ) will use the old system.

 

[Atraveller]

C'mon Baulder's Gate...running out of days here...

You should have picked them up on GOG.

 

[dot]

I think it's gone now.

What's gone? >_> LLTQ is still there. And blue is still in 2nd place.

hi

[Canis lupus]

I need someone from the US to help me get a game, anyone wanna help me out?

 

[Xeroblade]

So is everyone going to jump on the Red bandwagon today?

 

[Darth Kupi]

As stated a few times upthread, people could use it to basically launder money.

I know, I read.

Whats wrong with that? How does it affect valve?

 

[Cozmogramma]

Traded in some games at Gamestop today towards two Steam Cards. So now I have 40€ ready to spend.

Also, if someone could invite me to the Steam-group, I would really appreciate it!

http://steamcommunity.com/id/cozmogramma/

 

[PandaPandaPanda]

Daikatana
Kane & Lynch: Dead Men
Anachronox
Another World
Startopia
Sid Meier's Pirates!
Omikron: The Nomad Soul
Rollercoaster Tycoon 2
Enslaved: Odyssey to the West

These are all in my cart for purchase at the end of the sale. Any ones I should drop?

pirates is a good game but you have to play it in 1024x768(i think that's the resolution)

if you stretch it for modern displays, you lose part of the hud

 

[Shadownet]

Hey does Community's Choices end up in the Yesterday Big Deal later?

Maybe ill have more time to decide on LA Noire

 

[Chainsawkitten]

As stated a few times upthread, people could use it to basically launder money.

Plus, it was kinda annoying constantly refreshing to try to snag a good price before they all disappeared to bots.

 

[cicero]

It might have been better to not mention that you already owned it on GOG and were accepting just to pad your Steam account game number...

 

[corrosivefrost]

I wish there were an easy way to collect data without derailing the thread -- I know sub zero did it once, right? What did you use to collect poll data for which games you should give away?

 

[Seaklng]

What's gone? >_> LLTQ is still there. And blue is still in 2nd place.

hi

Hi, dot. I'm about to leave. Errands~
Idk I dont see the fanfic anymoar. ;n;

 

[super-famicom]

This game just sounds hilarious. xD

I dissed all the nobles trying to dance with me at the ball, and hit on some fine Duchess or Lady instead. Then someone insulted me and I challenged them to a duel. LTTQ is fun times.

 

[TheLetdown]

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

But sometimes Steam inconveniences me as I try to engage in their entirely optional side market when I make changes to my account, so that neither they nor I are made liable for illegal activity! That's such bullshit!

 

[Turfster]

Whats wrong with that? How does it affect valve?

Aiding and abetting criminals is bad, mkay?

It's not so much friends sending each other money, but the people emptying hacked accounts' balances, or using stolen credit cards.

I wish there were an easy way to collect data without derailing the thread -- I know sub zero did it once, right? What did you use to collect poll data for which games you should give away?

Wasn't it strawpoll.me or something?

 

[xBladeM6x]

LOL. Yes. I must have this in my veins.

 

[ieptbarakat]

But what about two separate giveaways for the same game!? What if win both!?

 

[Caerith]

It's nice to wake up to see SteamGAF learning to love the chocolate.

Alright I'm giving away some of the best shooters. One of these is the Metro Redux Bundle. I repeat one of these is the Metro Redux bundle. Good luck

I'd enter for a chance at Metro Redux if I didn't already own Long Live the Queen.

 

[Stumpokapow]

So what was wrong with the old Steam Market system that made them use this new one?

- Skimmer bots could extract profit and drive up the price for everyone else
- It was extremely difficult to buy the cheapest item of a popular item because of timing issues
- It was difficult to get a sense of whether you should list your item at or around the current lowest price, or undercut (this probably had the impact of driving prices down for many items that shouldn't have).

This is a superior system that functions closer to how an actual market functions.

 

[Nibiru]

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 was confused when you said "vanilla" because I wasn't sure there was an improved version so I looked it up and WTF there are a ton of mods for it!

So now I'm kind of interested!! Damn you!

 

[Toki767]

Funny thing is I'm still entering all the other raffles for LLTQ because I don't actually have it myself.

I do that all the time. Give games that I don't have, but enter the raffles for the ones that give them.

 

[The_eJoker]

Edit: Picked Fallout 3 and New Vegas (double dips, already have them on 360).

 

[Cozmogramma]

Thanks!

It's not just that. I thought it would be nice to have it, when half of my friendlist has it. This is anime fan street cred.
