Support NeoGAF

[Exuro]

Are those Deus Ex items simply re-skins or do the have an actual increasingly stupid affect on gameplay?

brand new items. engie items are amazing from what I've used of them.

 

[Weenerz]

I was gonna buy DSHR from Russia anyways, so an extra $12 for the TF2 items is fine by me

 

[Sutton Dagger]

I believe that depends on GFW support. Not entirely sure though

I decided to test it (don't know why I didn't just try it in the first place) and it works perfectly. Went into the voice settings in steam and selected the MS 360 microphone as default and tested it. Cool.

 

[gdt]

lol, couldn't care less about TF2 items. GMG ftw.

 

[Symphonic]

Guess I should finish Deus Ex before I play Human Revolution. Invisible War is worth skipping right?

 

[filipe]

So where is the cheapest place to get a Steam Key for Deus Ex? I don't care about items, I just want a good price.

And to think just yesterday I was planning on cancelling my Steam pre-order and getting it on GMG instead. 8 TF2 items is great, but I would still have preferred the Tracer Tong mission. I hope it shows up as DLC pretty quick.

 

[LocoMrPollock]

Just a heads up if you're thinking about getting Retribution or Dawn of War 2 + Chaos Rising. Amazon has Retribution for $12, and Dawn of War 2 Gold that includes the base game and Chaos Rising for $13.60.

Bit cheaper than the current prices on Steam, and the games are of course Steamworks.

These are download keys, by the way.

 

[shintoki]

Honestly, you'll probably be able to sell those Dues Ex items for 30$+ later down the line.

I'm still getting my first Pre-order DD release ever from GMG, and I think its actually the first time I'm paying more than 20$ for one too. I've been hooked again! Can't wait for my controller to get here tomorrow.

 

[jaundicejuice]

I'm buying the Steam version of Human Revolution since you can actually pre-load the game. I'll pick up the CE I pre-ordered at a brick n' mortar when I can make it out to the store. This is one of the rare few games that I want a physical copy of.

BUt why get the Steam version and the CE? Especially since the retail edition can be activated on Steam itself?

 

[Nelo Ice]

if i could get confirmation that u get the tf2 stuff from gmg keys then i may preorder and i can justify it since its my bday today

I wanted to play AssCreed Brotherhood today, and when I clicked play it wanted me to install it again and said it was being converted to steams new content system.

What does that mean?

The answer is in the quote, for the pre-load

Nobody will know until someone at GMG comments on the situation, or GMG releases the keys for activation.

But a pre-load means nothing, since you can just wait a few hours and get it then. Unless you wanted the TF2 items, which makes some sense, I guess.

Obviously this guy is a HUGE fan and wants to play it at the moment of release

 

[jaundicejuice]

Because I want the thing, the tangible box that will sit alongside my other anachronisms, the copies of Half-Life, Vampire: The Masquerade, etc. that line my shelf.

I also probably won't be able to make it out to the shop the day it's released because of work but want to play the game when I get home. So I will essentially buy two copies of the same game, one purely for collection's sake. I've often thought about buying the Mafia II CE even though I already own the base version through Steam.

Games are starting to be converted to the new infrastructure.

SquareEnix decided to change that after the backlash.

Genuine quality adds to the value though.

 

[Card Boy]

No regrets here!
$28 >> $45 + TF2 items

Pretty much.

Looks like i'm not doing the Da Vinci Disappearance, time to save myself 10gig and delete it off my Harddrive. I'm not re-downloading it, good thing i clocked the game already.

 

[coopolon]

It doesn't have anything to do with DRM. Stuff is being migrated over to the new delivery system that should enable for much faster downloads going forward. It does seem kind of odd that they made you redowloand the game though. Once you have the game why does it matter if it's been moved to the new content delivery system?

No regrets here!

$28 with a $5 credit.

so um, want my deus ex key now :\

tf2 weapons are nice but I don't care much for most of the promos released these days. I still haven't crafted The Original. prob just wait for the engy weapons to drop.

All of a sudden I own deus ex.

You are missing out of some of the best content in the game.

I just started the install. AssBro showed up on my download list as 'completed' with 0/0b downloaded. So yeah I don't think they're trying to make you redownload the whole thing.

1.5 gb is too much?

 

[Sanic]

Can any of the codes on GmG be combined or anything like that? Without doing any of the referral stuff, is $36 with the 20% off coupon the best I can do?

For anyone who isn't aware, I think all of the non-cosmetic Deus Ex HR TF2 items can already be crafted, and the recipes are ingame.

 

[NBtoaster]

Was getting Deus Ex HR anyway but I really wasn't expecting 8 TF2 items. Good stuff.

Really wish Steam had hidden achievements though...all the Deus Ex ones are there and I'm concerned I'll glance over a spoilerish one.

 

[Blizzard]

Bah, Tuesday release, so my preloaded Deus Ex will sit there staring at me.

Side note from the top seller list...why is Prototype high on the list, for full price at $30? Was there a sale or something and it's still there?

It was on sale for most of the week.

It was the midweek madness.

Yeah, it was like 10$ for the mid week sale.

 

[Blizzard]

Yeah, it was like 10$ for the mid week sale.

Lol, thanks everyone. I wasn't interested in the game but clearly wasn't paying attention to recent sales. I also notice From Dust is still on top so it's doing pretty well at $15, along with Bastion.

Here's more about the AssBro message:

Hello,

I believe the dialogs are misleading. It will just need to scan the game files and make sure everything is in order. We are moving existing games over to a new download system and that is part of the conversion process. It shouldn't take too long, and it shouldn't cause any new downloads. Sorry for the confusion!

Taylor

Oh, I should mention - we've got the new and improved dialogs in the current Steam Client Beta, so those of you opted into the beta should hopefully see something that is less confusing.

Hi djbeema,

For the download system to work, it must know about the state of what's on your disk (so it knows what it has to do when it finds out there's an update to apply). The new download system has been re-written from the ground up - the existing system was written almost ten years ago.

So, the simplest way for the Steam client to make the transition is to just have the new system do a "validate", to see what's present and what's missing locally, and take over from that point on.

We have moved a few games over so far, to test things out and collect data on how well the new system works. Eventually, every game on Steam will use the new system.

I don't know why you had to download 122MB more after the validation. If you'd like to email me your log\content_log.txt file too (exit Steam first), I will take a look in there to see if I can find out why.

Taylor

Bought Deus Ex cuz I wanted the new sniper rifle.

Find out its already craftable and I have what I would need to craft it.

Regret nothing.

Yeah, you bought TF2 items and got a free game with it. Pretty awesome haul if you ask me.

There's a really good post on how to make individual game shortcuts for Scumm VM on the telltale forums (here)


So once the game is set up for scumm vm: for steam just make a shortcut to the scummvm .exe a normal. Then add the scumm vm ID after the file location in the target box in steam options.
Then rename the shortcut and you're done!

Also works for websites!
I launch quake live through this method so I can respond to steam chat and organise games :]

Awesome!!!! Thanks so much!
