Yeah I'm just going to play CP PS4 when it comes out instead and Xrd. They really need to get with what the community actually wants soon or people will just ignore them.
 
Is GameSave Manager the #1 recommendation to transfer all the save files between two PC's. Seriously, save syncing should be mandatory if your game is on Steam.-

Yeah, and agreed. It sucks when you get used to the idea of cloud storage, only to be rudely reminded that not all games have it. Usually when it's almost too late.

And yes cloud saves should be mandatory!

isn't that due to it being on the devs than on Valve?
I think that's another jshackles wishlist for steam implementations that will never happen.

Haha, so close. That boss was a lot of fun on normal difficulty, I can't imagine how hard it would be on nightmare. Has anyone here tried it?

They just can't appreciate good things. That's all.
Evidently.
The Music in ys games get better and better.
Really? Makes me even more excited to play the other games then :)

Revoking keys require time. GG will contact SE, SE will contact Valve and then keys will be removed. No way GG refunded you and leave your keys in your account.

They haven't refunded me though. It's still a reserved charge on my card. Hmh I might as well play through the game today while I can.:D

Luckily it's not too late for me and I can just browse all the files in my local network so just copying the files over is relatively simp... oh wait, let's make it so that all games save to all kinds of different folders because reasons.

But but but...

GreenManGaming refunded me, when I spent around €25 on Call of Duty: Black Ops months ago, and I can still play that game.

Alright folks, if you're having trouble installing the new Lara Croft game deselect all the DLC and then try and install it, it installs fine if you do that.

This isn't related to the misprice or anything like that, seems to be a random bug some folks like myself have been having and this is a workaround.

So I found the solution to Temple of Osiris not installing because of connection timing out.... unchecking the DLC. What kind of bullshit is this? Ah well, at least it's downloading now. Hopefully this time it installs all the way through and not stop at 99% again.

well you must've found the single argie that doesn't give a shit about the falklands lol

also the thickest headed one
Hence pretentiousness. Since my other boos came from discussing economics, I have many more references to that and Argentina.


I'm a nerd, man.

FF13-2 is 5th on best selling list... and Dungeon Defenders II is first? or sales are really low this week, or I don't know... Dungeon Defenders II is great or something? Didn't look like that to me *shrugs*
Also CS GO sells so good constantly, doesn't everybody have it already?

I've had more positive games of CS:GO than negative. You still had the odd gameresque fellow, but so far it's good.

I like TF2 community servers more, since they have it more strict. Lion's Den, various Reddit servers, and others.

If I wanted to gift a certain kid some steam credit for xmas, but I don't want to buy a $50 steam cards, it's a tad too much and I'm still not sure how currency is converted while redeeming those, not $=&#8364;, I suppose (><) , what would be my other options?

You can get him started with Bad Rats now that the sequel has been announced, tehehehe.

she'll get it after joining steamgaf in the distant future, I'm sure, together with Bad Rats 2, 3 and 4. (><)

Falklands?
I was making a pretentious joke.

That war was a mistake and a waste of people. We never had any use for the islands until a drunken general decided that getting into a war was the best thing the Junta could do to keep in power.
I'm sorry for the kids that died there, but I can't hate the British for defending what is theirs.

That one is a little bit of a pain on Nightmare. The worst(not surprising) is the final boss. Now THAT is a PITA.

Growing up in the NES/SNES era has helped me with these types of games. My reflexes are nowhere near what they used to be, though.

Already am saving up, don't think I'll be spending much though.

GOG sale is much more toned down this time around.

Finally got my King's Quest collection. Yay!

gave away the keys to the kingdom.
if you bought an extra copy from GG, then please get me one. i missed that pricing error.
--edit--
oh they are revoking keys?

They will be. GamersGate has cancelled the orders of everybody who jumped on the price mistake and is in the process of issuing refunds. Then again, maybe GamersGate is in a charitable mood. :p

Yeah :(
It's always the case in violent conflicts. I've had major wars affect some of my relatives, so I understand.

Er, I want to start a Spanish language post but I won't

I still can't install that new Lara Croft game, what the fuck is going on. Strangest issue I've had with a game on Steam in a long time!

Uncheck the Icy Death and Twisted Gears packs under DLC. I don't know why or when they'll fix this bullshit, but unchecking them I could finally install the game.

Oh man and here is some salt to rub into my wounds:

Okay assholes. Why are you posting this information on your sales page if there is no DAMN BUY BUTTON!!!!

This, the price isn't really an issue for me, but Blazblue not being available in Europe is just dumb.
