Sniper Elite V2 doesn't seem to want to stay in my library if I delete local content (after starting the download to register it to my account).

You mean disgusting, kinda the reason Demon's Souls and PtdE were great was because they didn't go this route.

Don't see the problem. We know what we're getting, and we have firm release dates for the DLC. This isn't a 'buy this season pass and maybe we'll tell you in six months time what you're getting', this is more like a pre-order.

You don't need to begin downloading to add games to your account. Just hitting the install button on the store page should be enough.
 
I'd gawk at this but I'm legitimately pretty sure the guy asking for 2FWL has a mental illness. I am not even joking.



The consequences of this world view are pretty great, including thinking that GOG/Night Sky do magic work on the releases that aren't available on Steam.

You might not be joking, but it's still funny.

Gearcrack Arena is the extra indiegala game

Indeed. And you've changed your avatar... I didn't recognize you. :(

When was a season pass announced for Dark Souls 2?

That price is insane, but the screens look fantastic.

I need the DLC included in the Scourge Ambrosia bundle, but there's little sense paying $3.49 for something that's $3.98 at full price.



I can't say I'm shocked.

Neither can I... I just hope it's well done.

Grief, as far as PC goes, that extra content wasn't DLC. :p
It was only DLC for console peasants (which is why I haven't played it... c'mon FROM, where's that Dark Souls steamworks patch!); So for overall DLC available everywhere, I'd wager the 'net consensus is Minerva's Den (which I also haven't played yet).

I'm sure this isn't news for anyone, but I've been on vacation for a few weeks and haven't checked the Steam store. It default to "Top Sellers" for me now on all of my machines. Is this an admission from Valve that they are now flooding their store with shovelware?

I restarted Steam after I added the game to my account, yet It didn't actually show up in my library until I went back to the store page and initiated the install.

YMMV.

New Release tab is effectively useless at this point. Valve took the easy way out for the time being.

Must be a glitch then, I downloaded a bit and then stopped it and deleted local content. Its still in my library. Can you "buy" the game again?

I just think it's pretty depressing how a lot of people even here, have completely come around to the idea of season passes and dlc.

Personally I still hate them both, I'll get this way down the line because I am burnt out on DSII.

Yeah, but when you delete local content the games goes as well.

Were you also down on them back when they were called "expansion packs" instead of DLC? If yes, then did you also think that Baldur's Gate II: Throne of Bhaal was crap?

I opted out of Steam beta, and now I can see it (not installed) as part of my library.

Just wrapped up the story in Watch_Dogs. Overall enjoyable game. Well I say enjoyable, of course it sure isn't going to be to everyone's tastes and really for me it was a combination of great mechanics, good gameplay, average performance with some fucking huge caveats and *yaaawwwwnn* story. Saying that though those last 3 missions though something just clicked *snaps fingers* and everything came together (that last level was more hectic than any 5 star GTA chase I've been in).

I may have said 'chievos in Fallout was an unpopular opinion but this definitely is going to be as I found the ending (well the one I chose) to be very satisfying and wrapped the game up nicely. Granted there's a fair bit of arty farty subtext and ambiguous story telling going on here but hey it resonated with me well enough.

All in all story was a blast and will go 100% when Ubi patch it to get some performance more in line with my hardware. When I'm fully done I do a proper write up. Still looking forward to Watch_Doggies 2.0 set in somewhere like Paris
and judging by the ending it's going to be set somewhere else and carry the subtitle 2.0
 
The one time i fell for the season pass nonsense was with Bioshock Infinite and lesson learned. Shit took forever to come out and when it did i got Clash of the Titans, some nonsense rushed bullshit made just to have something out there.

I'm tempted to pick Spore, but I remember somebody convincing me before not to buy it, and not one time too, don't remember why already.

New Indie Royale should be launching today.

The Phoenix Bundle
  • Cognition Episode 3: The Oracle
  • Cognition Episode 4: The Cain Killer
  • The Cat Lady
  • Lost Civilisation
  • Face Noir
  • Reperfection - Volume 1
About time the rest of Cognition appeared somewhere without buying the entire collection. It'll be the only reason I'll grab this bundle just to fill that gap.

Same here, it acts as a F2P game, doesn't give me the option to just add it to my library

That's bizarre. I added it, didn't choose to download, and it's sitting there in my games list now. I wonder why it's working for some people and not others? :s

I'm tempted to pick Spore, but I remember somebody convincing me before not to buy it, and not one time too, don't remember why already.

Maybe the whole limited activations kerfluffle?

Expansion packs are usually massive in comparison, come on now.
"DLC" is a catchall used to describe both things like a) Artorias / Minerva's Den / Dragon Age Origins: Awakening, as well as b) a gun or a vehicle skin. I think it's important to note the distinction.

Random question, I'm trying to recall a game that came out last year on Steam that people compared to System Shock. Had bright cartoony graphics. I can't for the life of me remember what it was and haven't been able to find it on my various Steam searches.

I just pressed install in the non-client web Steam and Sniper Elite V2 is now in my library

Same here

I think there is a line. Generally, I hate Season Passes with a passion when the content is NOT announced. "Hey buy our season pass and you'll get some stuff eventually".

This, to me, is basically a DLC pack with a date (July 22nd) and they just happen to call it a season pass. You know what you are getting and you know when you are getting.

I fucking love DS2
