Let the man dream, sometimes these dreams are what keep us sane like me still thinking Yakuza 5 will come over one day. (Do note I am a Sega Fanboy so by default I am extremely delusional and realize I am)

I'm still holding out hope that Atlus brings it westward

Being April Fools day and not wanting to give away Bad Rats. I thought I would just mess around with the names of the games. There's hint enough there. If you already have the game just pass it on here in the Steam Thread.

Got Shattered Haven! Thanks!

For those interested, Major Mayhem got cards.

Just started trying it yesterday and I am satisfied so far. Although it missed some stuff I did it registered some stuff retroactively so I won't complain.

[Knurek]

I'm not sure I get the joke. Is it that we're in the Steam thread?

We have all those 3DS talks here, why not ones about the better handheld?

 

[dave is ok]

Have Valve every done an April Fools joke page/event? It might be the only way that Blizzard is better than Valve.

Oh fuckin' hell. The only console exclusive game I want on PC.

We're still waiting for GTA V.

Other than saying back in May 2006 that Episode Three would release before Christmas 2007, no.

I only got ONE thing retroactively
And it was worth $0.10 ;_;

Judging by Blizzard's April 1st output this year, I'd say Valve is still winning by ignoring the holiday altogether.

April 1...there could be a new Humble Bundle coming today.

 

[Grief.exe]

Oh fuckin' hell. The only console exclusive game I want on PC.

We're still waiting for GTA V.

With Konami's recent track record, we can pretty much guarantee its release at this point.

I love Metal Gear's gameplay and inherent 'wackiness' too, I would buy the Legacy Collection, Ground Zeroes, and Phantom Pain on Steam.

my profile stopped updating on March 28 :/

Mines never worked properly since signing up on the 19th February. I've got the 50p from signing up for the newsletter, but its never pulled any of my games or picked up the linking to my steam account.

 

[Grief.exe]

So...my heart skipped a beat

Then my brain caught up.

True but I doubt a simultaneous release with consoles.

Probably 6+ months after consoles :\

 

[dave is ok]

What is Spartan Assault anyway? iOS port?

 

[Dusk Golem]

Last 20 minute call for my Dice-Roll April Fools Game Giveaway Raffle, with Resident Evil 4, Daylight, and others.

 

[Stumpokapow]

What is Spartan Assault anyway? iOS port?

Windows Phone and Windows 8 port, yep. It's a top-down twin-stick shooter with very aggressive IAP stuff.

 

[Grief.exe]

Much like Lords of Shadow 2, I'm thinking it will have a simultaneous release. The 2015 release date gives them time to get that going, unlike Ground Zeroes where Konami's push for PC came too late in development.

What is Spartan Assault anyway? iOS port?

It has been on the Windows 8 App store, meaning Windows Phone and Windows 8.

Looks like a top down action game with an emphasis on strategy, but I have not looked into it at all.

Halo: Spartan Assault brings the excitement of Halo combat to Steam for the very first time. Battle your way through 30 action-packed missions against the Covenant as you explore the origin of the Spartan Ops program featured in Halo 4. *DirectX feature level 10 required.

Bring us more Halo combat!

That's a really cool way of giving games away. I've entered.

Fingers crossed you're right.

Wonder if Dark Souls II will be any benchmark for Japanese publishers to release games on Steam.

 

[JaseC]

Humble Wheelman Bundle.

Edit: I bought (well, am waiting on) Batman: Arkham Prison Deluxe Edition. Even though I'm yet to play Origins I think I'll start it tomorrow anyway.

 

[MUnited83]

Just got The Typing of the Dead: Overkill – Thou Filthy Love Collection on GMG with the money I earned from Playfire.



This will ofcourse backfire when the weekly bundle is releaved as the Typing of the Dead Bundle.

 

[ChimpanzeeThat]

Humble Wheelman Bundle.

Edit: I bought (well, am waiting on) Batman: Arkham Prison Deluxe Edition. Even though I'm yet to play Origins I think I'll start it tomorrow anyway.

That would of course be a Tier 3: $100 unlock.

I could go for another Humble Comedy Bundle.

How does that PlayFire rewards thing even work?
I logged in with my GMG account and linked PF with Steam since it started, but it doesn't do anything at all.
Is it region restricted?

It will display the rewards in GBP (£) but it will be exchanged to your currency on a daily rate. No restrictions are currently in place.

Oh, I have like £9, which of none have been transferred to my GMG account.

How do you actually access this reward site if you don't know the specific address? I can't find any link on Playfire pointing to this reward summary.

We're building a new page that will be in the top nav. Otherwise when you log in just click on your current balance to be taken to the rewards page. It's not too obvious, sorry bout that.

So, how does Playfire really work?
I registered yesterday, linked to Steam, and I only got one reward from all the ones that should have (a Quantum Conundrum achievement based one, not even the first boot one). What gives?

When you link a Steam account for the first time we can't actually tell from the API when you got achievements, so we use the date we tracked it. Because of this you could potentially get rewards you're not meant to because we've got a reward for say Quantum Conundrum, but you got the achievement ages ago, it's just way only just tracked it. So, what we do, is we have a switch to say whether to include the 'first scrape'. At the moment it's always on, we'd rather give new Playfire users the benefit of the doubt. Worse case scenario is you get credit you shouldn't have.

I just noticed that it's since the 27th of February that Playfire hasn't credited me any credit from the play game x for the first time and unlock achievement x. It hasn't even tracked some achievements I unlocked for games while the timer was going, like Technical Pacifist for Ittle Dew. Unlocked it at 4.44pm of March 26, timer ended at 23.59 of March 26, but not on the balance list for me.
The balance list even has a couple of play game x for the first time repeated for March, though since no credit has been given out, they have time to fix that one still.

We track your Steam activity roughly every 1-3 hours (it's quite server intensive). So there is a possibility that you get an achievement close to its end date, but don't get the reward. If this happens, let CS know and they should be able to credit you manually.

Damn, GMG/Playfire. I love you too.

There was a bug on your account. I've fixed it. You should be fine going forward.
