big picture mode keeps activating on its own

i'm in the steam client beta (and I leave my 360 pad plugged in), so i wonder if it has anything to do with that.

Nope, happened to me too. Had to switch back to the non-beta. Those dialogue box errors were getting annoying anyway.

Alan Wake for only $1 (preferably more since the game is absolutely awesome)

It's not very clear on it, so you pay $1 and you get both for Steam?

cool breeze · « **Reply #4262 on:** May 22, 2013, 02:29:42 PM »

yes, the Humble store gives you steam keys and DRM free versions.

typically it's $1 or higher for steam keys. 'anything' for drm free versions.

Joe Molotov · « **Reply #4263 on:** May 22, 2013, 02:55:16 PM »

$1 for Alan Wake and American Nightmare is crazy. You guys better all own this by the end of the day.

demi · « **Reply #4264 on:** May 22, 2013, 03:01:07 PM »

I bought them just because it's Alan Wake. lol

Positive Touch · « **Reply #4265 on:** May 22, 2013, 04:45:25 PM »

i would pay a dollar just to make sure alan wake is never legally installed on my computer

Big Barry Jazz · « **Reply #4266 on:** May 23, 2013, 02:48:53 AM »

Feels like I just stole something. And that's a crazy amount of extra material it comes with.

The demo was fun enough. Interesting gameplay mechanic and nice art/graphics.

We need someone to redo that names list and find out who's who on the bore steam group. Some of the names have since changed. And I'd like to know who I'm gifting to...

So I bought accidentally 2 extra humble TellTale bundles. And since I can't send the games directly through steam I'll be sending them out via pm/and messages on steam. So enjoy you lucky bastards!

Alan Wake is 90% off on STEAM. Everything for 4 bucks.

Was just the weekly humble bundle where you could get everything for 1$...

Bebpo · « **Reply #4279 on:** May 30, 2013, 10:33:48 PM »

DmC is still $10 too much. I know Capcom sucks at Discounts, so hopefully by NY sale it'll be <$20.

Would you like it if that demo was 20 hours long?

Rufus · « **Reply #4285 on:** June 05, 2013, 01:55:26 PM »

Possibly. For 15€ or so.

3D Castlevania

mjemirzian · « **Reply #4292 on:** June 05, 2013, 09:15:24 PM »

What's so bad about it?

Bebpo · « **Reply #4293 on:** June 06, 2013, 01:05:16 AM »

It's the worst 3d action game this generation and probably last generation too. The combat is awful, the enemies are grindy, the framerate SUCKS on consoles, there's these Shadow of the Colossus bosses that go on forever and are worthless, the game is like like 20+ hours long of repetition, there's QTE crap everywhere and I don't even remember what else but it was bad bad bad. Oh yeah, bad camera and platforming too.

I have a pretty high tolerance for bad when it's franchises I like and pretty graphics (and this game has REALLY NICE GRAPHICS), but I dropped the game about 10-12 hours in because it was just such an extreme chore to play and I didn't feel like spending another 6-10 hours of no-fun that could have been spent on better games.

Basically Mercury Steam has no idea what makes action games fun.

mjemirzian · « **Reply #4294 on:** June 06, 2013, 02:00:11 AM »

Hmm.. sounds pretty janky, thanks for your comment. Might give it a 'test drive' on PC before committing on Steam. Framerate shouldn't be an issue unless they pull a Dark Souls and lock it at 30.

Bebpo · « **Reply #4295 on:** June 06, 2013, 04:36:10 AM »

30 would be an improvement

The console versions were around 20-24fps constantly. At 60fps on PC I'm sure it'll be a better game, but even smoother combat won't change how dull the levels are and how long the game is.

Don Flamenco · « **Reply #4296 on:** June 06, 2013, 07:39:52 AM »

the gaf thread has people calling it amazing.

are these the same people that would call DmC amazing (in a good way)?

Bebpo · « **Reply #4297 on:** June 06, 2013, 01:29:22 PM »

The game has its fans for some warped reason. Probably has something to do with Kojima fans since they published it.

I like Kojima, but the game has nothing to do with him. Sure there are a lot of cutscenes, but he'd never make gameplay as shoddy as what's in the game.

Fifstar · « **Reply #4298 on:** June 07, 2013, 10:49:05 AM »

Is steam updating each time you launch it for anybody else or is my installation focked?

Rufus · « **Reply #4299 on:** June 07, 2013, 10:51:39 AM »

Are you in a client beta? Or the client beta, I should say.

Fifstar · « **Reply #4300 on:** June 07, 2013, 12:25:27 PM »

I don't think so at least I didn't change anything consciously.

Rufus · « **Reply #4301 on:** June 07, 2013, 03:14:48 PM »

Then I don't know what it could be. Sure it's not just checking if there's an update or is it actually updating?

archnemesis · « **Reply #4302 on:** June 08, 2013, 02:28:15 AM »

Try deleting clientregistry.blob. It usually does the trick.

You already missed the "better deal" when Steam accidentally made it ~$2.50 in Brazil for about an hour.

Some dude on GAF bought a few dozen and was reselling them, but they're all gone now.

Bepo did you play X-Blades at all? That may beat CV for most shit 3D action game. But yeah CV is a bad game and its fans should feel bad. Also motherfuck Kojima stans.

I've played X-Blades before [and its sequel]. Neither are as bad as Goldenaxe: Beast Rider.

iconoclast · « **Reply #4306 on:** June 12, 2013, 03:44:17 AM »

X-Blades is by far the worst action game I've ever played. I have absolutely no idea how or why that game has a sequel.

Big Barry Jazz · « **Reply #4307 on:** June 12, 2013, 04:54:42 PM »

Steam just won't work on my mac. "Needs to be online to update but was set to offline mode" some kafka level shit. then it says "Failed to load syslib.dll" or something.

holy shit

Cerveza mas fina · « **Reply #4317 on:** June 16, 2013, 03:55:40 AM »

How much?

Rufus · « **Reply #4318 on:** June 16, 2013, 08:22:36 AM »

Right now, regular cards go for .30€ to .40€. That'll go lower as more and more people join the beta and hit rock bottom once all of Steam is generating cards. Foils are worth a lot more, but they will crash as well. If they ever drop to TF2 crate levels it might be worth to buy cards and craft badges to get coupons.

So far I made 14.64€, mostly from selling cards. Enough for one or two games once the summer sale starts, so it was worth it. Don't buy games just to get their cards though, I made that mistake with Fairie Solitaire. It's a neat little time waster, but I wouldn't have bought it otherwise. I used the credit I had accumulated thus far to buy it, so it doesn't sting much (only lost 10c in the end).

less than a dollar so it wasn't much (due to being a common card).

I'm just surprised it sold and how quickly it happened (i don't even think 10 minutes passed)
