I know achievements can be silly, but the achievement showcase really is cool. Because for one thing, you realize there are so many achievements you could put there, and it can make you really think about what games you enjoy the most. And for another thing, it makes you realize how well done the art on some achievement icons is, or how clever the descriptions are.

It's nice that they're starting to do stuff with achievements. Rather than them just be hidden away in a games list, like how on your profile now it shows the 3 recently played and the achievements for those in addition to the option of the showcase.

Why do I want to get NBA2K13 when I have no interest in real basketball? What to do...

This is from another thread, but its quite interesting.

Due to the launch lineups from both next-gen consoles, PC-only is looking to be the best choice going forward. You won't have to make a decision on a next-gen console until at least 2015 when they start to build up their exclusives.

Take the Xbox One launch lineup

Ryse - QTE, did not seem compelling at all
Forza 5 - Not too interested in car games, but there are plenty available on all platforms
COD - This game has literally become a running punchline across the internet. I'm sure it will still sell in droves to the lowest common denominator.
Battlefield 4 - PC version will be fine.
Dead Rising 3 - The direction they took this in looks horrible.
Watch Dogs - Seems compelling. PC version will be fine.
Assassin's Creed 4 - Milked to death, not particularly interested in this game even if it wasn't. PC version will be slightly late, but otherwise fine.
Killer Instinct - Not interested, seems like they are reaching with this one in more ways then one.

Launch Window, early 2014
Titanfall - Steam distribution please.
Dark Souls II - PC version will be fine.
 
I don't know if or how one can buy multiple copies on GMG, and I haven't decided if I want it or not...

Well if you don't buy it for yourself let me know.

Or if anyone that is able to buy NBA 2k13 can do me a solid as GMG isn't allowing it in my region.

Even if the port is a bit wonky, it's still one of the best sports games out there, and also doubles as a nice RPG experience if you dabble in the Build-a-Player mode.

From my experience you need to have multiple accounts.

I can help you out. I got it in a pack with XCOM so I think I can still buy it separately. I'll PM you.

Edit: Done

Not anymore. I bought Tomb Raider twice from them, because now they allow you to buy multiples of some games, if not all.

Ah, seems so. Thanks for letting me know.

I pre-ordered Sanctum 2, which came with Super Sanctum TD, but now the latter is missing from my library. Just noticed it while browsing the store. Very strange. =/

Get Loaded Bethesda is now live

Pick two games for €12 or $15, all Steam redeemable
  • Dishonored
  • The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion GOTY Deluxe
  • Doom 3 BFG
  • Fallout: New Vegas Ultimate Pack
  • The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind GOTY
  • Fallout 3: GOTY
  • Hunted: The Demons Forge
  • Brink
  • RAGE

Oh, new design. Somewhat cleaner. But the mobile GAF kinda broken

Dishonored + New Vegas/Doom 3 (maybe) are probably the only ones worth getting. The others go for a lot less during the sale. Although I don't know about hunted, you shouldn't buy it unless you are a collector anyway.

Seems like only two.

What should I get?

Well it depends, the decision is ultimately up to you. I'll give some observations.

Dishonored - Probably your best choice
The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion GOTY Deluxe - Can be had for cheap.
Doom 3 BFG - Original version is the definitive one, unless something has changed.
Fallout: New Vegas Ultimate Pack - Decent choice, pretty expensive for all of the DLC.
The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind GOTY - Can be had for cheap.
Fallout 3: GOTY - Can be had for cheap.
Hunted: The Demons Forge - No
Brink - No and community is likely dead
RAGE - Can be had for cheap.

Only two Bethesda games for 15 bucks?

GamersGate had a better deal.

new vegas and a second copy for a friend

or get new vegas and dishonored if you're selfish

seriously get new vegas, it's the best game of the generation
 
Almost polished off Bioshock 2 today but I gotta call it a night. Bioshock 2 may not be the greatest game in the series but it's definitely the most fun. I think the game pretty much picked up and took off at Pauper's Drop.

Has anyone managed to get Bioshock 1 to work on Windows 8? I'm trying but none of the workarounds seem to work on my machine.

Some people bought that, redeemed some keys, had GamersGate contact them and give them the full refund, then the rest of the keys in about a month, plus they had the 20% mistake discount added to their accounts for all purchases for a year. The Stearn sale didn't have a chance against deals like that.

I don't understand Booster Packs.

Are they super rare? I've had Steam running for 2 days straight and I've gotten zero.
Every time someone crafts a badge, someone else gets a booster pack. Since nobody's actually crafting badges anymore, just selling the cards in preparation for the market crash, nobody's going to be getting any boosters.

What is this? New layout, new logo, new mods, a promotion for Stump. I feel like I've entered a Buck Rogers-esqe trip to the future.

Dishonored and New Vegas all the way. Though some of the mods for F3 are mental New Vegas shouldn't be missed.

I'm thinking about getting New Vegas and Dishonored, but I already have New Vegas on 360...
mods really iron out most of the issues with the game, plus there's a ton of new content, restored stuff, you can turn everyone into anime girls, dancing mods, all kinds of fun shit

seriously new vegas pc is 100 times better, it looks better, UI is better, performance is better, less bugs, etc.

You've convinced me, I'm going Dishonored and New Vegas

That, and I already have Brink, Morrowind and Rage on PC, the other games aren't really that interesting to me seeing as I don't like Oblivion and don't even know wtf Hunted is

Edit: What is an issue number and why does Get Games hate my money
