mars war logs is a weird witcher/mass effect esque low-budget rpg that's got some heart but mostly lacks any meaningful substance
it does have one detective quest which i enjoyed quite a bit, and the early parts and the story aren't bad by any means and the combat is, u know, ok i guess
it's weird, the game is pretty polished for its scope and ambitions, but you can also tell they took a lot of safe bets and that ended up making the game feel kind of pointless
there's no weird eastern-european like craziness here that makes u forgive its budget shortcomings, it's just kind of mediocre.
i kinda really liked the setting so would love to see something a sequel that's a bit more ambitious
i have the email authenticator and that's already very annoying, but after all my troubles with twitter's garbage security, i guess it's for the best

if anyone gets that Humble Weekly BTA Tier and doesn't need/want Bound By Flame I'd take it if possible...my money situation took a complete nosedive today so I can't spend anything for the next few days
(that's if the keys are separate and not bundled up like the last Humble offering)

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 can use the Steam app itself to do Steam chat or buy things and whatnot, but when I try to use it to secure my account for mobile authentication I get a message saying that my phone isn't supported.

Anyone has a spare Bound by Flame from the new weekly?

Play it for Free until sunday night and then decide?
Not for individual logon sessions but for verification purposes for change of account details or login in on a new device and such. First code I got was back in 16th September so must have started about then. And then I got a few in December as I changed my email address and did a couple of reformats.
I had missed that bit. Thanks for the info guys, i'll check it out.

I'm sure I will enjoy it, but Uncharted 2 is easily the worst game of the franchise and TR2013 was as good as, if not potentially better, than Uncharted/Uncharted 3 (which were the best games from the franchise).
That said, even if your disclaimer disqualifies your recommendation to enjoy RotTR, I will still do so.

Hmmm, running RotTR on high settings without motion blur and bloom and have a pretty constant 60 at ~1080p.
Glad I upgraded to a 970.

Does ROTTR have an ingame benchmark? I like watching cameras pan around while looking at numbers go up and down
I've never heard of any of these games (well, I heard the name Pix the cat before) in the 1$.
Anyone can sell me on them?
Yeah, a real shame, if Styx was BTA I'd have bought this instantly
I'm not interested in anything else in there.TheLetdown

Are you on Android or iOS?
I have the same issue on iOS, but when I log in to the app and it asks me for my authenticator code, I double tap home and force quit the app. I then re-open the app, which then defaults to the authenticator screen like it clearly, logically should.
I still panic every time.

Mars Warlogs has been on my wishlist for a while, I think it is a like a low budget mass effect? This is what I gather from the steam store at least.

Don't remember last time I kept so many games from humble weekly bundle, so only few left for this giveaway.

The end of buying in to lock a low average and deciding to increase payment later on?
Madjoki said that it was because of the $40 tier (focus pack) that'll give you multiples otherwise. I wouldn't be too worried yet.

I'd be much happier if they'd just let me have the "code" for verification in two-factor via text/sms instead of email.

bummer, the first one's benchmark was useful for tinkering but i suppose we don't need it anymore since you can change all settings in game
thanks for the reply!

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
When was the last time you tried using the number? I remember we were in the same boat when they launched the security features but they eventually added Google voice and it works for me now.

Interesting, I haven't tried it in a few weeks. Might have to give it another shot.

I don't know why it says: SORRY Unfortunately, you may not access this content at this time.when trying to redeem The Division Beta Code.
Styx is aproximattely 15 times better as a Stealth game than MGSV.
Like shackles said earlier I'd rather Valve allowed you to verify via Google Authenticator seeing as I've got various accounts from different services using that. Right now it's so many layers of bullshit and depending on the action you're taking with your account it changes the method it defaults to or falls back on. Some times you only need one method others you need multiple. Then again that sounds exactly like a Valve plan put into action.

It was the first thing I looked for in the main menu after choosing my settings because I wanted to see if I needed to adjust to stay at 60 (or if I could increase some settings if I was getting a high enough benchmark with the current ones).
Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be there for whatever reason. :\
Depends. Is it worth $11.39 (or whatever it is in your local currency)?
Yeah, that'd work for me too... I just had the same experience stump is having when I was swapping some KF2 items and cards for the sale with other GAFers over the holidays and it made me remove the authenticator protection and just go back to email. I like the idea of just using an SMS like you seem to have it set up, but I'd rather not have to disable steam mobile guard to do it. Hence my lament of them not offering an SMS message as an option to get your verification code for signing in.

And one that will likely be quickly forgotten about once it's "good enough" and won't get updated until years from now it mysteriously breaks.

Thats why I wanted you to work there. I am serious. I think you would have seen the half-baked things Valve added and then quickly forgot.
I remember the Greenlight-debacle where even Gabe said its a shit system. Or the trading card binders and the other seasons of trading cards. Or the musicplayer, that feels like the project of a new IT intern.
Gave up on adding this after reading reviews

That's a hell of a bundle, even if I already own a large part of it. Honestly seems like it should have been a two week main line bundle.
Edit: Interesting, because I've already redeemed Game of Thrones from another bundle, it won't let me generate a key, it just gives the gift link option. How long has that existed?

Well thankfully EA is going to be on a journey to regain the trust of the PC gamer from now on. What? I'm sure they're not telling fibs.

I think I have a problem. I'm realizing that I kind of give myself two separate budgets for spending money on video games.
One budget is for games I want to play right now. Typically a new or recent release. I am very cheap when it comes to these games. I won't spend $60, but maybe $20-$40 depending on the game and how badly I want to play it.
Then there are bundles. Games that sometimes I have no intention of every playing. Sometimes the bundle might have a game that I might try at some point but lets be realistic, the chances are usually pretty low. I'm willing to spend $3-5 on these bundles. Maybe up to $10 if there is a game I know I will play immediately.
Here is the "problem", for the latter scenario I don't really give myself a budget. I mean, if 5-6 good bundles come out in a month I will buy all of them without even really thinking about it. That is say $15-$30 depending on the month.
For the first scenario, the games I will actually play, I hem and haw (larrydavid.gif) over how much I am willing to spend. If I just cut out the bundles except for games I know I want to play immediately I could probably worry less about how much I am spending on the games I know I want to play.
Anyone else have this problem (or did I just describe 75% of SteamGAF memebers)?
