Steam General Thread

Yeah, Ruby is still high-pitched in the actual show. I played Legend of Korra soon after it came out on the Xbox and though it was alright, but still too short for me.

That is the face of a man who just ate a kitten. Raw.

Bought Civilization: Beyond Earth - The Collection, as well as the Fox Company DLC for Company of Heroes 2: Ardennes Assault with some help from my younger brother.^Note Technically, my younger bro funded the purchase since he's been wanting to play the former with the expansion and DLC installed, and I decided to buy the latter with the remaining change.

Currently debating on whether to get Command and Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars plus Kane's Wrath, or just buy a War Paint Contest skin set in Company of Heroes 2, since I can't buy 8-Bit Armies at this point and Star Wars: Empire at War isn't even included in the sale. (Sunovab***h...)

... For some reason, Steam keeps freezing up whenever it's trying to load the "Payment Info" page after I click "Purchase for myself", i.e. I am unable to make purchases for the time being. This happens both in the web browser and the standalone Steam app. Anyone else having similar issues?

Fiat iustitia, et pereat mundus.

My haul.

Hyperdevotion Noire

Civ Beyond Earth

Homeworld Deserts of Kharak

Life is Strange.

My haul

• Dynasty Warriors 8 XL complete, runs like a dream.
• Fairy Fencer F, runs like crap on my comp. Good thing I am upgrading vid cards soon and it is still playable, the zones run at like 10 fps, combat is like 20ish.
• Final Fantasy XIII Trilogy, get frame dips but otherwise runs ok
• Divinity Original Sin
• The Last Remnant
• FTL Faster Than Light
• Terraria
• Fallout New Vegas

I think I regret not picking up Kingdoms Of Amalur Reckoning now way after the fact but I am broke now, I cant even afford the 4.99 for it.

Hmmm, wondering if I should pick up Shadow Of Mordor. Its another borderline one, but if I can run DOOM 2016 I should be able to pull it off.

Politics is the skilled use of blunt objects.

SHADOW OF MORDOR IS AWESOME.

Seriously, it's one of my favorite games to come out in recent years. Been so long since we had a decent LOTR game.

The Steam visual novel catalog has been picking up.

I want to get Clannad but I need to budget. Doesn't help with PSN and Amazon sales, let alone rightstufanime

Plus I think the Xbox summer sale is coming up soon.

@ Rational: Shadow of Mordor is indeed awesome, and you should be able to run it easily if your computer can handle Doom. It's well, well worth the price for ten bucks.

It's got a ton of DLC too that's also probably on sale.

Just picked it up, GOTY edition came with all the DLC.

@Incognito Ninja: Just get C&C3 on Origin, trust me. It's both cheaper and actually LESS annoying to run it on Origin than Steam. Key reason being that the Gamespy servers are already dead and that's what even the Steam version uses. Plus you can grab the C&C Ultimate series collection for just a slightly larger amount. Shouldn't cost you no more than $15 USD, tops.

EDIT: Oh, and don't bother with 8-bit Armies. It's way too simplistic and barebones right now, honestly not worth the price at the moment. Wait until they add some more DLC, factions, or whatever, then maybe it'll be worth grabbing.

I only got Zombie Army Trilogy and the Don Bluth games. But I did spend quite a bit on steam cards and badges.

You mean Dragon's Crown and stuff?

You mean Dragon's Lair?

Oh, right xD No idea why I put that.

My haul:

• 12 Is Better Than 6
• Battle Brothers
• Highlands
• Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number
• Enemy Front
• Steamworld Dig
• Vanilla Bagel
• Senran Kagura Shinovi Versus
• Cities Skylines
• Salt And Sanctuary

Though I wonder should I refund Senran Kagura or not...keyboard control is a bit...not too great. Probably could get used to,but still...and camera going spastic when fighting inside building is really annoying...I'll think about it. I guess the annoying part is that key rebind doesn't work when in menu or at the school screen, and there's no alternate key rebind for same action, unlike, say, Hyperdimension Neptunia U: Action Unleashed, which was also made by Tamsoft. Though all things considered it's probably IFI doing better port than XSEED...maybe.

BTW, Battle Brothers is really good if you like Mount&Blade, and you're into turn-based strategy (that and low fantasy setting instead of just pure alternate medieval Europe. No magic but plenty of orcs, goblins, and undeads). Sure it's only 20% off and in Early Access, but I think it's still really good.

Give me cute or give me...something?

My additional haul:

• Defender's Quest
• Oceanhorn
• RPG Maker VX Ace (really supah cheap, it's not the latest edition though)

If I make it home before the sale is over, I will probably get to pick up Ittle Dew and Concrete Jungle (as recommended in the previous page).

You should probably refund it if it's barely playable. Maybe there's a keyboard config somewhere though?

My DA account... I draw stuff sometimes!

@Sgt Ricko: Though that means having to register for an Origin account. Plus, I have no idea if Origin has a counterpart to Steam's Wallet Cards that's being sold in pesos. I wouldn't mind registering for an Origin account if that option's available, but at the moment, it's not.

Also, I'll probably just play Tiberium Wars and Kane's Wrath for the single-player campaigns and occasional comp-stomp skirmish, not multiplayer. (And it's been on my wishlist for a while now...)

I'm gonna guess the reason why Steam is still using the (dead) GameSpy servers in their copies of Tiberium Wars is because EA won't allow Steam to update to the latest version of the game that's similar to the one on Origin. (I assume the latest version also runs on Windows 7 and has new multiplayer servers.) Otherwise, it would only undermine EA's Origin service.

(*sighs*) Guess I'll wait for Steam's Christmas Sale again before I decide... (Though I might go for CLANNAD first or buy the Company of Heroes 2 Master Collection for a friend by then.)

Yeah, I don't think we have actual Origin cards.

Don't you have a credit card or a newer issued ATM card (e.g. Security Bank, BPI) that doubles as a debit card, though?

^^^ It's not unplayable...it's just that the key layout for some is...weird, but then again, it's kind of expected. Nep U key is similar...I might get used to it, all things considered.

Origin lets you use pre-paid Visas/etc as well, if you have access to those.

Politics is the skilled use of blunt objects.

@Incognito Ninja: One thing if you ever do grab either version of the game... don't patch it until you beat the campaign.

Many of the campaign missions were designed to take advantage of certain gimmicks or gameplay mechanics that were either drastically altered or removed entirely, and the Nod campaign bears the worst of it. In particular, several missions will leave you with only a Construction crane instead of the proper MCV. Post-patch, it can't build defensive structures anymore, meaning that some missions are going to be much tougher because of it. The GDI Croatia mission is much harder too for various reasons.

@Malco, RationalInsanity: Actually, I don't use credit cards or ATMs (for the latter, I no longer have one). Oh well...

@SgtRicko: Man, couldn't they have applied the patches only for the multiplayer/skirmish mode and not the single-player campaign?
