Yay I won Civ 5. Thanks Yakkue. Can't believe I'm the only entrant. US and EU must be napping

So I heard this game had DLCs that will make the game much better. Should I buy all of them or just buy brave new world

Have fun with it! It's a great game! But remember to take some breaks ;)
The Gods & Kings DLC is also worth it.

FlyVPN should work fine. Usually I don't recommend it for Steam due to its 20-minute session limit, however since there's no Steamworks functionality this doesn't really matter, plus you can just switch to Offline Mode to preserve the unlocked status.

Cheers. Well better than having to wait 11 hours. And unlike South Park won't have a bunch of dubious achievements due to being offline for nigh on 3 days.

The game and digital deluxe set aren't on Singapore store either (only the season pass). had to buy the game from the US store for my friend.

Ah, the SG store was one I checked but I didn't notice that, haha. Weird that Ubi is offering the Season Pass at all.

If you buy the standard edition + the season pass do you get all the content from all the different editions?

Happy bday Knurek

SalsaShark: Do State of Decay mods disable achievements or leaderboards? I want to use the No Introduction mod, the gamma fix mod, and the Mt. Tanner Bridge repair mod, but I'd rather not use them if they impact leaderboards.
 
So I did a little bit of research, turns out one can enable the Traditional Chinese language in the leaked Xbox360 version, by editing its file.

More at here, here and here.

It couldn't be fan translated, it's only been out for a few days. It must be some bullshit exclusive publishing rights that led to this.

Welp. No surprises there

Also is 看门狗 the actual official translation of watch dogs? While it is a literal translation, it has a certain negative connotation that isn't present in english when used to refer to humans
 
Quick question on behalf of a friend with a Mac:

On that big Amazon sale, one of the games he wants has a PC Steam key for cheap and a far more expensive Mac download. On the Steam page for the game, it lists both PC and Mac. If he gets the Steam key, will he be okay playing the game on a Mac? Not sure how that stuff works.

it's just strange... I just hope Steam manages all these things better.
I mean with the amount of influence they have, can't they demand these publishers/developers to have some standards? -we aren't getting the benefits of digital at all, worldwide release :/-

Oh, BTW, hit 33 today. Here's to a good year all around.

happy birthday man!

Yes. SteamPlay means the game works across Windows as well as Mac and/or Linux.

I like literal translations that doesn't deviate from its original meaning, a lot better than the movie name translations here. And I seriously can't remember the last time that anyone has used 看門狗 to insult people, maybe 走狗?

Maybe 监视人? It really means a watchdog, and it has no negative connotations.
 
Anyone able to get an Inescapable key from their Indie Royale - Debut 9 Bundle? I click on keys in desura and it says "Click here to get steam key" then it says in red letters after clicking "You need to get keys from Indie Royale where this game was purchased" where there is no key for it....

You need to get the key through the Desura client. Desura icon -> Gift history -> "Collection" link -> "Keys" link opposite the game name.

Tempted to jump in on the SF deal. Will Capcom offer a discount for Ultimate SFIV to AE owners?

Have you run into those fights where the bosses get to bring a posse to the fight in NG+? Those give me nightmares.

This is wrong. The GFWL keys have been whitelisted and can be activated on Steam now, and the game is getting Steam Achievements. The steamworks patch is pretty much certain at this point.

Argh, my apologies, i was working with outdated information. I'm an idiot and should have checked again before posting.

When was this information released? Has Capcom said anything else about any of their other games? Lost Planet 2?

I currently have $8.68 in Playfire credit.

I'm eyeing SS4AE on GMG.

I like fighting games, and I've played a ton of Street Fighter over the years. (Alpha 3's still my favorite for playing w/friends when I can get up a game, even though I know it's not considered a "serious" tournament game, but w/e.)

Pull the trigger? (Y/N)

(Advice is welcome here, guys.)

Happy birthday!! 30+ gaffers seems like a rare breed in steam thread nowadays.

"You kids and your DVD's! In my day, we bought our games on cassette tapes! And that "online" stuff? For us, "going online" meant putting the handset of your telephone into an acoustic modem and dialing up Compuserve or a local BBS somewhere!"

Capcom hasn't announced anything. Registry gleanings + someone thinking to try their GFWL key on the off chance that it would already work.

Traders are selling it for 30 keys, many of them are accepting paypal and charge for 1.5€ per key, 30x1.5=45. You can also get it for way cheaper if you buy keys from someone via paypal

So Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition has been on sale and selling reasonably at that, which indicates to me the game is not going away in the foreseeable future. Let's say it moves over to Steamworks. Will the achievements port over as well, or will you need to start from scratch?

I'm debating whether to start playing now or after the inevitable (?) move.
