Support NeoGAF

[corrosivefrost]

Update: Massive thanks to Exor Studios for obliging me:

I also received a key for the Summer of Slaughter DLC. Today is a good day.

Nice.

Now if only they'd give me a free upgrade to HD. :lol

the one thing I seriously can't understand about xenosaga is why it doesn't have any background music during gameplay, with the exception of fights

like, if there's something about xenogears that I remember with utmost fondness is the background music

where is it?

 

[Tagyhag]

Anyone have any Strike Vector opinions?

I've only played the first Xenosaga but you reminded me of one of the worst things about it, there's only one battle theme for the entire game except for the very last boss fight (if that, memory's fuzzy on that detail). The horror. I haven't listened to it since playing in 2003 but even now I can hear it in my head now that the memories have come rushing back.

 

[Leon Belmont]

Does anyone is having the error "Error : Failed to poke open firewall" with the Steam Client? I didn't realise just when I saw my event log!

yeah, it's very strange

not even for boss fights

So it looks like Echo Prime got updated so that if you already own Orc Must Die 2, you'll get a gift copy of OMD2 when purchasing Echo Prime.

So tempted.

Added it to my wishlist.
Let me know if it's any good.
(There's your reason to buy it.)

So who else here has printed every receipt for their games on Steam?

I think I might finally have to upgrade my PC to accommodate them.

JaseC should do that and make paper forts out of the stacks.

So the soundtrack has, like, two songs on it?

I just would like a personalized JaseC paper hat.

 

[Milamber]

Oh man, I'd buy that new Ninja Gaiden day 1 on Steam if it meant getting TECMO KOEI to localize their Dynasty games to the rest of the world.

EDIT: Atleast re-release Warriors Orochi PC on Steam.

 

[Atraveller]

Funnily enough, my retail copy of DW5 has English voice option, it sounds horrible though.

 

[Turfster]

Speaking of horrible English voices, I tried playing some DARK with a friend earlier. My god, what a trainwreck of a game.
Starring the voice of Geralt of Rivia as 'bored and not giving a fuck', mixed by an engineer that never heard of levels and normalizing dialogue, coded by people that were too lazy to figure out corner traversal and climbing so you just teleport everywhere and written by a 14 year old.
I'm so glad I managed to borrow this 360 copy and didn't buy it like I thought to do at first.

 

[Relax.MX]

Horrible voices? Dead Island is bad and racist.

 

[Buttonbasher]

Horrible voices? Dead Island is bad and racist.

WHO DO YOU VOODOO, BITCH?!

I still laugh about the fact that the people that lost their minds over that original trailer, started the game up, and were met with that song, and that intro.

And then that game.

Oh Dead Island.

EDIT: A movie studio bought the rights based on that original trailer even! Imagine them watching that intro! Oh man.

Let's see... rated M (Blood and Gore, Partial Nudity, Strong Language, Suggestive Themes, Violence), main character is a righteous vampire (so, anti-hero?), something something amnesia.... If I learned anything from the "Are Video Games too Juvenile?" thread, it's that Dark is apparently too mature.

 

[Turfster]

No GOG, no! Not Star Control!
I want this sale to be over quickly so I can see 93!

ERIC BANE was a righteous vampire? He was more a confused puppy in the first hour of the game.

 

[Milamber]

Sweet Prey give away. I was thinking of doing something similar. After seeing milamber's glorious desktop gaff I noticed he had no wallpaper, only a black screen. I was going to hold a "design milamber a wallpaper" competition for some Prey related prizes.Though after some thought decided against it as it was guaranteed to be super NSFW.

Since I get PMed about it in Steam chat a lot, I switched to all-black wallpaper cause I don't like minimizing my windows at night and being greeted by a glaring colorful wallpaper that hurts my eyes for a few seconds. I use Night mode and dark theme on everything, if applicable.

I'm just going off what I gleaned from the wikipedia page about it. It sounds as generic and juvenile as its name. Maybe if it had a cool subtitle, like, I dunno, "Dark: The Thief Project."

Yep. All the glare/eye assault I can reduce, helps, so black backgrounds, grey windows and such help a lot.

Without watching that I'm just going to assume it's bad. Which sucks because it apparently joins that other semi tactical sounding game Insurgency that just came out. Tactical non Arma 3 shooters are so dead and buried .

It's not a tactical shooter in the slightest, it's the most generic COD clone imaginable... when it works.

I've been using a mostly red wallpaper for a few years and it hasn't hurt my eyes even when the entire room is dark, but that's probably because red light doesn't affect nightvision. So, something to consider when NeoGAF adds red mode.

I went the other creepier way with that.

Makes sense. I used to know someone who rocked high contrast mode in Windows 3.1 to saved knackering their eyes out at night,

 

[Chance Hale]

The way Bioshock Infinite and Dishonored handle their dlc is really annoying. Have to first load up to the main menu, go to downloadable content and then from there you can access the DLC's separate menu. Although in Infinite you can at least choose continue.

 

[Gvaz]

Thanks. All I'd need it for is to be notified whenever a game I wish for is on sale, without lettings others know that I want that particular game. If that makes any sense.

Why? I've gotten several games that way from kind people.

It's an audio card. This is my older one from the same range, and it's a pretty solid card.

Xonar sucks. Drivers suck, compatibility sucks, power draw sucks.

No really, it was terrible using that one.

Right now I'm outputting toslink from onboard (coax can go fuck itself with a rusty iron sword) to my 5.1 reciever (im a poor basically) which is then output to my floor speakers (non-sat speakers)

PREY STEAM KEY GIVEAWAY

PREY STEAM KEY GIVEAWAY
PREY STEAM KEY GIVEAWAY
PREY STEAM KEY GIVEAWAY

I have a Prey Steam key to give away to one lucky person. But this is a giveaway of such epic magnitude that it cannot be contained by a mere ModBot raffle post. Also, by giving away this key I will be left with a worthless DVD case and disc of the game. And that is when an idea struck me - I will make this a competition of ARTISTIC SKILL.

For the next 24 hours, any member of NeoGAF will be eligible to submit a single MS Paint drawing detailing what I should do with the physical Prey materials. You decide the fate of the retail box and disc then crudely scrawl it out and post it here. After 24 hours have elapsed after this original post, I will pick a winner based entirely on my own personal taste and the lucky individual will be sent a brand spanking new Prey key to redeem on Steam. Be the envy of weirdo Steam collectors worldwide!

No Photoshop allowed - ghetto-ass MS Paint drawings only dawgs.

Have fun and good luck.

Eight and a bit hours left to showcase your masterpieces.

 

[ClassyPenguin]

Eight and a bit hours left to showcase your masterpieces.

I did what I could

 

[faceless007]

I don't get it, your disc isn't worthless, you can still install Prey from the discs even if you've redeemed the code because it's not Steamworks.

That reminds me, I still have my retail copy of Prey and I never redeemed the code. I should do that.

I didn't have that problem that Jim did. The devs did confirm there's a fps bug which they are patching as soon as possible. Basically the game would start off really slow and then start running fine. Only happened a few times though.

It's not a tactical shooter in the slightest, it's the most generic COD clone imaginable... when it works.

You're doing the game a great disservice, I've had way more fun with Rekoil than any recent COD game.

I'm hoping the 2nd episode will errr... end better?
