I'm playing through Far Cry with FCAM mod right now. Is there any way to edit some ini or sometying to get better draw distance / LOD?

[jediyoshi]

About to bite the bullet on Bastion. Outside of maybe Skyrim, I'm done buying/preordering for the season. Feelsgood

It's not that, it's being a broke college student, every penny counts.

I don't know, I'm pretty sure that doesn't negate them being video games.

This is a very bad idea, indie devs are notoriously slack in their QA and don't take enough precautions so it's quite possible that one of their executables was infected by a virus. On the other hand you'd think Steam would scan files for viruses before uploading them...

On the other hand, false positives are just that, false. The only thing QA should get the stick for in that case is not running it through an AV.

Sanctum DLC is up, wonder if it will get a weekend deal.

[amrod]

Anyone else get this?

So I redownloaded it and still get this... Waiting on my steam forum account to be activated so I can post there

[The Technomancer]

Its awesome to see Geneforge Saga in the Top 20 sellers, especially since those are ranked according to revenue.

Free week end and -50% week end deal

terrible timing after indie royale, but to be fair that didn't sell that much.

[UnluckyKate]

3,74€ for Europe.

Even for the price, the PS3 demo was way to bad for me to dip

Shogun 2 is $15 at Gamersgate, pretty sure it's Steamworks. I love Japanese history and empire building games but I am so terribad at RTS games.

[Gvaz]

$4 for two new maps? Lol fuck that

[UnluckyKate]

I heard Shogun 2 has a really easy mode.

Can anyone confirm Gamersgate Steamwork thing ?

[morningbus]

It is Steamworks. Gamer's Gate's site has this up in the usual spot for Steam games: "DRM:Requires a 3rd party download and account"

Buy with confidence.

[Grimm Fandango]

Steam has been launching my games really slowly ever since yesterday.

Steam community pages were completely down for me last night, so I figure DOTA 2 has made everything more screwy than usual.

How likely the game is too be in Steam holydays sales with all DLC for a lesser price ? Might dip now

It's technically RTS, but you can pause at any moment to look at how the action is going and set up command changes. I suck ass at RTS but I love these. Just keep in mind that your commands have to literally be shouted out by the squad leader, heard, and responded to. No hivemind armies here. If you're really not sure, the Shogun 2 demo is massive.

This is why I'm holding back from Shogun 2. All Total War games have done all-DLC bundles before, so I can wait. I need to play Empire/Napoleon and prefer their style, anyhow.

[morningbus]

I'd say that if you're worried about it, you should wait. Gamer's Gate's sale price is only 50% off the Steam price. It'll at least be that during the sale.

[-PXG-]

I just got Sanctum for free...I think. Why is that? Will I be charged? It says it was complimentary.

Well, I guess I should wait for the bundle. These DLC and expension looks pretty good so I would culpabilise if I were to miss them and buy them later for high prices.

They did ? Great. I'm waiting. Need the same for Civ5 anyway.

New features have been added to the Steamworks SDK:

The Steamworks SDK has been updated to support sharing cloud files with the Steam community, Steam Workshop integration, and a tool for automated DRM submissions. Also includes updates for using WebAPI AuthenticateUserTicket and merging of ISteamMasterServerUpdater with ISteamGameServer interface. Click the link above to download

I guess we can soon transfer game saves, configs, and screenshots easily between accounts.

Oh, they're doing a free weekend promo for Sanctum. Never mind...

[jediyoshi]

Ack you're right, I meant from the big ol retail games.

[svegis]

Free weekend, you should see the hours remaining on it next to the title in your Library.

[confused]

Tropico is the other weekend deal.

Part 4 is 33% off.

Classics 66% off.

been waiting for Tropico 3 Gold to go on sale again! :D

[Psy-Phi]

I wish the DLC for Sanctum was on sale too :(. I own the base game already, I will probably buy the collection, but I don't really care for the music in Sanctum, and would prefer a collection without that (and the reduced price to reflect that). If only I could gift the extra copy that will be lost in the transaction to a friend, it'd make it easier to swallow.

There should also be a 4-pack with all the DLC too....bleh. Maybe I won't buy this stuff.

[3chopl0x]

There is a DLC pack for 5$

http://store.steampowered.com/sub/12183/

[PaulLFC]

"Collection" is on sale but the DLC isn't for existing owners... meh.

Edit: Ignore that, just saw 3chopl0x's post. Strange way to discount the DLC though!

[Nabs]

Fatshark just announced their new game. It's a top-down real time RPG called Krater. It'll be out next year on Steam.

[3chopl0x]

I wish there was some more info, it looks really cool.

[Valygar]

I would like to mention two games that inspires me in the work with Krater. Fallout(1 & 2) and the original XCOM. I could just as well add the Baldur's Gate games as well. Follow us on facebook and twitter: @fatsharkgames

That may be interesting, I'll wait until more information is shown. It's a bit weird to launch the webpage without.. well, anything.

[ROBOKITTYZILLA]

For anyone that pre-ordered Sonic Generations, do you get keys for the free games, are they added to your inventory, or are they automatically applied to your account and just show up in your library?

[Qatar]

did DC Universe online got added to all steam players' library by it self ?

[MRORANGE]

did DC Universe online got added to all steam players' library by it self ?

it's a f2p game now I believe.

[Volcynika]

It's F2P now, so maybe something to do with that.

[Sportbilly]

Yeah, I saw something similar with the Orcs Must Die demo, where the store page told me everyone on my friends' list had it.

[ezodagrom]

They're automatically applied to the account, but if you already have the games on Steam, they can be gifted to someone else.

[Qatar]

it's a f2p game now I believe.

ya I know, but all it appears on the game's store page that all my friends own it, and when I click on the list, not all of them show up. I guess that's how it is with F2P games and demos on steam.

[Lord British]

Wahey! My new graphics card arrived and I can play games again. Preloading Sonic Generations LIKE THE CLAPPERS.

[schnell]

Ack you're right, I meant from the big ol retail games.

Ah, yes. It's a lot easier to keep myself from buying a $15+ game than it is the darn $3 indie games. When I check PayPal I just see a constant stream of charges under $5. Terrible self control over here.

Anyway, has anyone played Payday: The Heist?

[Scythian]

What kind of RPG are the Geneforge games? D&D?
Are they fun? Have good story?

[Psy-Phi]

Sweet, thanks; some how I didn't see this on the Sanctum page.

Good thread here.

[Gav47]

Any word on wether or not Skyrim will have preload?

[Volcynika]

Don't think they've said, but if they follow trends, it should have one.
