This is the Steam thread that will be open when Dark Souls II launches.

Just let that sink in for a bit.

Speaking of which, I now have enough cash to buy a second-hand copy of Dark Souls 2 for PS3. Should I bite on that for now, or should I wait for the PC version, just in case you're right about the graphical improvements?

Steam has spoiled me for sales. I can hardly consider anything else a bargain.

Oh well.
One month after building my PC I'm up to 69 games on steam. I've probably only played 6 or 7 of them.... It begins

Ok hoping the PC version of Dark Souls 2 is good.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
I never really played much of Bioshock Infinite past the first hour of the game. The first hour was great, but it already felt like it was starting to get repetitive.

Thinking about starting over from the beginning soon, then moving on to Burial at Sea (since I loved the first two Bioshock games).

Do you have to beat the main game before you can start the DLC? Are the stories connected? I thought I read somewhere it's like an alternate timeline thing?

It's an honest question - please try to make your answer as spoiler-free as possible.

A good framerate and 1080p would already be enough graphical improvement for me. I say: Stay strong.

You don't have to beat the full game first but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

The stories ARE connected. Whether or not you have to beat the first I dont know. Id guess No though.

Main story isn't that long, I'd suggest doing main story first. But the DLC is alternate timelines yea.

Planning to run through both episodes this weekend myself, the game's been installed for a long time now waiting for both episodes to release and I want that free space back.

We should just stop numbering the threads and just call them, for example, STEAM Announcements & Updates 2014 March/April.

Anyways, I've finally joined Playfire Rewards. I was stupid and thought it was only available in the UK :( How come there isn't a thread on GAF about it?

The DLC continues the main game. You could always play the main game on normal/easy so that enemies aren't too bullet spongey, and make sure to use lots of vigors. It makes the game less monotonous.

I can't wait for this thread to become the thread that is remembered for everyone being pissed off that the PC port of Dark Souls 2 is the same as the console version

Because they're useless. They don't award retroactively, so if you've already played the game and gotten the achievements prior, you're SOL. It's basically a ploy to get you to buy games from them during the reward period.

So, I pre-ordered Dark Souls II almost a week ago, and it's in my library, but the transaction doesn't show on my statement and the money is still in my account. Did my transaction just slip through the system, or will I be charged on a later date?

Thanks will definitely give that a shot. Hope to get to it soon though I'll be out of town all weekend traveling. I guess if I've waited what? a year? to play I can wait a few extra days.

I don't get the thread title...

Tuesdays are indeed nice though. Midweek deal. New Humble Bundle every other week.

In the Street Fighter movie with Van Damme and Raul Julia, Chun Li tells Bison how he killed her father. He didn't remember, she was surprised, and his reply was, " For you, the day Bison graced your village was the most important day of your life. But for me... it was Tuesday."

edit: oh there's a video linked

They can be useful for new releases, I got around $6 just for getting South Park achievements when it came out.

I keep getting:

"The Steam servers are too busy to handle your request for Bioshock Infinite. Error Code (55)"

Wtf. I launched it 10 mins ago fine but had to redownload some files. And now I keep getting this.

Honestly, I ended up cheating with a trainer from Gamecopyworld after 6-7 hours just to get pass all the battles asap because they were so boring.

If I played the game on a console I may have ended up not playing through the game at all.
