The Steam budget is a mythical creature. Many sightings are reported, but few, if any, can be confirmed.

Man, I'm awful at FTLJust about getting to Sector 2 before I get battered.
I'm putting a man in shields, one in engines, one in the cockpit. I power down the medbay until needed to make sure everything else has power. I aim for shields first, then take out weapons.
What am I doing wrong?
Man that sounda bad. I got to Sector8 on my second play today. I got a 4 guys with each one skilled to lv2 for each platform. Fire bombs that go trough shields to fuck up their weapon system fast as hell. Was a nice run. And i didnt even run the tutorial. Just try to learn the game. Dont surrender after 3-5 playtroughs. Its a rouge like game so remember that.

The atmosphere in Dark Souls is off the charts. That is all.
I was so close this sale. :'(

For the achievements? Hmmmmmmm... I've added many copies to my steam inventory that I grabbed during Steam sales, I never considering adding it to my own library.
Hmmmmm...
Sent, check your inbox.Guess I'll take Alpha Protocol then, was close to buying it earlier today
I kinda have the money, but feels like a shallow thing to do. Basically I want the achievements and for the constant reminder that it exists in my Steam Library, because I barely even remember what I own in GOG.
Nice, with the Geralt bust and everything?
I have The Witcher 1 boxed, it's got pretty cool packaging.

Oh no I was gonna buy a copy of Alpha Protocol to giveaway since something I own just broke but GMG is out of stock
nooooooooooo

I think this is why I liked playing ME2 a lot more. Sure, ME1 is more of a WRPG game, but the shooting and overall gameplay was awful, ME2 absolutely improved on that, despite falling short to some of the ME1 stuff.
I know people despise shooting games now, but ME2 was an absolutely more fun game to play than 1, coming from someone who likes the whole trilogy as whole.
Man, AP is awesome (I still need to finish it lol) would totally give a copy away on steamgifts but GMG is out of stock :L
For people who did get a copy I recommend going through this thread, some of the tweaks here make a huge difference

Well, you could just register The Witcher on GOG.com for a matching set there and call it a day.
Noooo!

Make sure you go through as many systems as you can before proceeding to another Sector, that way you can maximize the scrap you get and/or potentially get another crewmate or weapon in a random event. Sector 2 is still easy mode so yea you're still doing something wrong. The 1 point allocated to medbay doesn't make a terrible difference but it is a good strategy. Personally on the Kessler I start with 1 person cockpit, 1 person engines, and 1 person weapons.
Evasion >>> Shields although you'll still want to have at least 1 more shield before Sector 8.
Well...... I have one. I mean, I like to think I do. It's... Flexible, but it's there!
Now that you mention it, there were a few times where I remember being a bit irritated at the aiming stuff, but it was rare because I used mostly a combination of mark & execute, sprinting around and melee to get by the levels. But I can see that kind of stuff getting old for a shootbang playthrough, sure.
We'll see how it affects my impression of the game, if at all.
Bookmarked, thanks!

Does that still work if I bought The Witcher in 2009?
Edit: I don't see any "Cd Keys" for it on steam
Great thing I brought it early this morning. Great deal.

Sorry pal, but a horse is not a unicorn.
Normal.
Just checked the tips in the OTL and nothing mentioned about my techniques being wrong but clearly I'm getting stuff wrong somewhere.

I'd rather have ME1 and its "messy" mechanics but with its amazing atmosphere and story promise/lore over ME2's better shooting but empty plot and lack of atmosphere. I get it's all personal preference though. Sometimes I'd just rather have a good experience with some blemishes over an experience with things that are technically better but don't really contribute overall to the "feel" that you're looking for. I did enjoy ME2, but I thought it lacked most of the reasons why I was so drawn into the first game.
RE6 has better gameplay than the RE remake, but would I call it a better game just because of that? lol

Failing that, it's $2.49 atm on gog itself.

I find the world of ME1 to be much more engaging than that of ME2, Illium notwithstanding.

Play on easy. Normal is a world of pain that you can try after you manage to beat it on easy a few times.
Hm, that's strange but I don't actually have a Steam copy myself (bought a boxed copy back in 2006). Sorry if it turns out that this actually isn't possible, but I thought it was. x_x
And I still really want impressions for SPLICE.
No one? If anyone else is interested, I might take the plunge to report back for others.
I got Splice as part of an Android Humble Bundle and enjoy it (Splice was the main reason I got the bundle). At first the game made no sense and felt like I was just randomly grabbing/moving parts, but then I started to grasp the idea. I love the slick presentation. One of the best puzzle games I played this year (along with my personal favorite Girls Like Robots
I think there's a GB quick look I'm too lazy to find, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's cheaper than $5.brandonh83

Illium was cool. ME2 had some very nice locations, but I didn't get that feeling of dwarfing isolation that the first game gave me-- something I dug very much, and something that reminded me of being lost and isolated on the planet in Super Metroid or Metroid Prime. I love that atmosphere so much that I would gladly trade it for better gameplay.
ME3 started out promising with the Mars segment, but after that... yeah maybe we shouldn't go into it.
http://www.thewitcher.com/backup/ Actually there's this support page which is meant for people that didn't get cdkieys so there's that as well.

I was able to redeem my GOG version with my steam cd key a few years later. Had no idea it worked.
Try here.
Followed the steps and scanned an Amazon receipt from my email earlier this year and I got the free backup copy, hope it works.
EDIT: Beaten by Narag.

Go to your main library page for "The Witcher" and look at the "Links" section on the far right. There should be a "CD Key" option there, click on it, take the key to THIS PAGE, enter it in. Win free GOG backup copy of The Witcher.
EDIT: This works for The Witcher 2 as well. I just registered the key from my years old physical copy of The Witcher and my Steam version of The Witcher 2 late last month.

Played the first 3 chapters of spec ops.
Looks fantastic and plays well enough. Now I'm waiting for the story I've heard so much about

It was a community choice game yesterday but it's also been cheaper on Amazon for the past week.

Odd, that was back in the days where CD Projekt demanded you register your CD key to get patches. Alternatively, send a mail to CD Projekt (links at the Witcher website) with your proof of purchase (or a link to your public Steam community page), and hopefully they should work something out.

Willpower was strong, I held off and avoided FTL for now - well and truly enraptured by the hype here and elsewhere, but, you know... 'backlog'. If I lose hours to FTL, there's stuff I just won't get to that I really want to check off the list. Backlog guilt, it eats away at my gaming soul.
Oh, and anyone questioning whether to play the Witcher before tackling the sequel, please do - at least give it a solid go before choosing to skip it. It's a lovingly crafted piece of work.

Thank you all. My key didn't work so I had to allow them to view my steam account. No biggie. Thanks for the info.
