[Naked Snake]

i have a weakness for mysteries.

unfortunately, i already own this one

I was told everybody owns this one, and couldn't get anyone to bite on it when I tried a few weeks ago, so that's why I made it a mystery... I was counting on you to take the bait

 

[ExoSoul]

This looks very very interesting, I like the art style too.

what is it???

Is there a place I can look to see if a game is shareable through family sharing before buying it, looking at the steamdb for example? My brother has a gaming computer now so for single player games him or I buying a game once makes a lot of sense. I know some games don't allow it, for example does far cry 3 allow it or does the uplay prevent this?

Uplay blocks family share.

SteamDB is the easiest place to check on that, though Enhanced Steam might have something for you.

cURRENtly playing Final Fantasy XIII and am trying to see if the game can keep its 60 FPS performance. I've set my broadcast so anyone can watch so you should be able to see it from here

Click on 'watch game on the right'.

For those that can't watch, how is the performance?

Maybe you shouldn't have entered for all of them then.

 

[Dragon1893]

So people in the XIII-2 thread seem to be running into sound issues and frame-rate is all over the place.

 

[Naked Snake]

I didn't enter for all of them

And I didn't win any of them. So it doesn't matter how many I entered for.

Oh it's the other Snake lol

 

[darkchewie]

Thanks. Do many people still play?

I don't have Battlefront II, but looking through the GameRanger servers it looks semi-active, with about 10-12 games going on right now with 25-30 people, but you probably can expect more activity over the weekends.

 

[Naked Snake]

? What I did this time?

You won South Park.

Edit: too slow.

 

[Chariot]

You won South Park :I

I guess someone didn't hit the switch for FF13-2 cards yet.

Just read his last post

Durante pls, Lake Bersha has been having the game run at sub 30 FPS in FF13 @_@

Fake edit: oh, and Nvidia sent me a code to download an Ubi game for getting a new card 10 days ago, this day is going to be amazing.
Time to enjoy my first VN.

 

[Knurek]

It is. KAMUI was in a bundle. Someday it will return to bundle land. Or it will be ridiculously discounted as a weekly.

I bought that bundle though - was contemplating what to play today...

 

[iosefe]

So do I. What was it?

what is it???

Monaco.

Serves me right for my itchy trigger finger. Haha


If anyone happens to want it let me know

 

[Im a Manatee]

Restart Steam. It'll appear in your library.

Thank you! I'm excited to try this out. Haven't played CoD since black ops.

Enhanced Steam will usually give a warning if a game is blocked, though there are some games that stealth block Family Share. For example, apparently Activision blocked Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare retail versions from being shared but not AW copies bought from the Steam Store.

As a general rule, if there's a third party DRM involved, it's blocked from family share.

Just read his last post

A few things here:

(1) Not sure why Tizoc is asking Durante to fix the performance of FFXIII on his machine, Durante usually fixes graphics options...
(2) Grief was unclear regarding what performance he was curious about... I could see several things Grief might've been asking about here - Steam streaming performance, FFXIII-2 performance, FFXIII post-patch performance. Tizoc would only be able to answer the last one, I think -- which is what you assumed Grief was asking. Besides, we have no idea what specs Tizoc has at the moment either.

Grief was asking for post-patch performance, he talked about patch earlier in this thread.

I'm directing him to Tizoc's post because the patch doesn't do anything to the performance. It'll run bad once you get to Lake Bresha.

I thought the patch was merely to add some resolution and graphics options.

just like STM required Win8

 

[Beelzebubs]

Anyone know when the winter sale cards will start dropping, they're usually a few days before the sale right?

Yea, but people are claiming/wondering if the patch do anything other than that.

It doesn't.

what exactly does Société de transport de Montréal have to do with Win8?

 

[Jawmuncher]

Good News?

Hey. You actually might need to ask another moderator. I've been very busy in real life for a little while and wasn't really part of the discussion about moving the thread to Community so I'm also not sure what the plan is for sales--or if there even is one. I don't think it'd be a problem to keep both open personally, but then I also don't 100% know what the decision they came to on community threads in general was.

I'll CC Nirolak on this PM and hopefully he can give you a satisfactory answer.

If I hear nothing i'll pm him directly.

 

[Dimitri2401]

I had the same thought

 

[jshackles]

Last year I think they showed up a few weeks before the sale started. At this point, I'll be surprised if there is a meta game involving cards. If there is, they'll probably show up the day of.

Okay thanks. I decided it was a good idea to stockpile a bunch of badges ready to craft for when those cards hit as they sell for stupid prices on the first day usually.

Depends on if you want to be rid of me for a few weeks or not.

If you want to keep me around during the sale, you have a glimmer of hope, it seems. :3

Are those games good?

 

[Knurek]

Curious for how long FFXIII-2 will show Mostly Positive for reviews...
Unfixed FFXIII framepacing issues plus all new sound issues, if one follows the OT/forums...

//EDIT
Oh, FFS, Square... FFXIII-2 cannot be found in the top sellers list for EU2 (FFXIII had the same thing).

 

[Kiru]

Oh Blades of Time for Anteater is there!

EDIT:

oh shit blades of time

 

[Turfster]

Blades of Time is, just ignore the unfinished DLC

One day I will stop getting Nuclear Dawn confused with Nuclear Throne. I always get excited for a minutes before realizing when it shows up in bundles.

Well, if they want to do cross play for that fighting game they have to create system that can use xbonelive server and stuff.

Went to quick for the BTA on this one, spent $3.85. Thought it wouldn't drop this much...

Same, I won touch the sale thread with a ten foot pole.

 

[Lomax]

Stardrive for $3 seems worth the buy, it seems to have a solid following. Nuclear Dawn has to be approaching the record for game most bundled by HB though.
