I've never seen it either. I don't know what kind of hell-hole forums Fox frequents when he isn't here, but that was a new one to me.

It had never even occurred to me before you posted about CAG having a problem with the word that it closely resembled that other word. Though I'm not sure if I had ever seen it spelled out before. So it might have been more obvious if I had seen it in print.

Whatever. It's not a word that I used a lot. I usually only used it to denote something that had made me laugh in a very juvenile way. Which I believe was kinda what you meant.

Hi Steam CAGs. I'm feeling good after getting in my grad school application today and I'm going out to dinner now.

I managed to grab this. Thanks a lot & congrats to you.

Thoughts on Saints Row the Third DLC? Does any of the DLC alter the main game in any way?

I bought the franchise pack during the summer sale and it's still sitting in my inventory. I also bought the THQ Humble Bundle yesterday and I BTA. Which means that I now own one copy of the game with almost all the DLC, and I own one without any DLC. I plan to activate one copy on each of my steam accounts. But I'm trying to determine which one I want tied to my main account.

If you are going to activate them both then I'd go with the franchise pack.

I don't think the DLC alters the main game, other than people saying once you install the vampire DLC it changes the game, but I think there is a fix for that.

I think the Invincible pack may as well, but I believe you have to actively set up cheats for this to trigger.

I'd still go with the Franchise pack because it just seems like a lot of added value and fun (plus some of the DLCs do have story missions in addition to cosmetics).

Alright, I think I'll use the Humble key on my secondary account.

Whenever possible, I like to play through a game without the DLC first so I have a sense of what has changed when DLC is added. Thanks to the THQ bundle, I now have a way of doing that. I'll play through the game on my secondary account first, then I'll add the franchise pack to my main account and play through it to see what the DLC adds.

From all reports, the game is a blast. I'm sure I wont have any problems playing through it twice.

Thanks for the replies.

Guess this is the appropriate thread to post this in since it's a Steam key, I got the Plentiful and War Chest Paradox bundles from Amazon, and Victoria 2 is in both of them. I have no need for the second key, anyone interested please help yourself:

I'm someone who bought the game on Amazon and then bought DLC that I wanted separately, and I can say that the DLC is only going to add to your initial playthrough rather than change it.

Most of the DLC (except for the Bloodsucker DLC, which has been mentioned, and can be disabled if you look up how) adds clothes, weapons, and vehicles. It's not going to change your first playthrough, it's only going to give you more options within your first playthrough.

Note that the items the DLC grants are flat out given to you in the game, so you have the option of using them when you want. If you feel the automatic scoped sniper rifle is too overpowered in the early game, for example, just don't use it until you feel its power is in line with the weapons you're naturally buying and unlocking as you progress. I used it fairly early since it seems to take ages to get a sniper rifle though, and reading around, the DLC sniper rifle is actually quite weak in relation to other ones.

As for the DLC that adds missions to the game, those are simply available to you when you want to play them. They don't change anything about the game; consider them side quests.

I'd recommend you play through the game with the DLC first off. There's little reason to play the game without the DLC with how it's set up. Either way though, it doesn't really matter too much.

I used this to disable the bloodsucker animation on SR3 - the other perks are still there (extra cash etc) if you want them. Or you can do both.
Unfortunately the bloodsuck animation prevented all other melee kill moves and got old reaaaallly quickly.

Well thats it, buying a WiiU now.

Catching up on the thread with Tea Time and Firmware Updates. Lovely. Sorry for the aside.
I think theres a place for this. IndieRoyale had Danimal Cannon which was great. I also adore *adore* the soundtrack for Hotline Miami. I see one song was made by the master Jasper Byrne! Lone Survivor is beautiful. Hotline Miami is worth is just for the music alone, glad I picked it up. I play to just listen to the music.

Damnit Motoki, now I want to buy it! (Probably will too.) I just wish it wasn't so heteronormative.

Edit: Bought. Presumably 1 hour before NOV20OFF expires.

Edit2: Weird. I just noticed that Gamefly now has Silverfall on sale.

Actually, most people don't believe it's a word, from my experience.

I am very precise with language, and I distinguish between the two. I snickers is the lite version, I rarely use it.

/agree. I've never heard that relation. We wouldn't even be having this conversation without (somewhat common to forums) overzealous word filters.

The DLC is very much what it says it is. Some of it gives earlier access than normal to guns and vehicles, but it's very easy to choose not to use some of the stuff that you wouldn't get until later, later. Bloodsucker is the only exception.

Invincible like all other cheats have to be activated though the cheat menu on your phone. Easy to avoid.

Like I said before, you can choose not to use DLC vehicles and guns if/when you feel they are OP (over powered). The costumes however you may very well enjoy though your play through. On "Normal" difficultly the game has a nice balance, that suits it's over the top nature. On "Hard", it presents a challenge, by upping the intensity (more gangmembers & badass gangmembers).

I strongly recommend disabling it. It makes it too easy, and takes away some of the fun with melee. If you put some effort into gaining territory control early the in the game, you will have more cash than you can spend by late in the game.

Just finished Sleeping Dogs. thoroughly satisfied

Thanks, put it this way - everything is done my end, it's now awaiting Desura's approval. As soon as that happens that page should be visible. In the meantime, http://www.indiedb.com/games/the-cat-lady

Just got an email from Newegg. Boxed copies of Fallout: New Vegas (base game) $3.99 with free shipping. Although I'd imagine in a month, the Steam Winter Sale will have a GOTY for close to the same price.

^_^ I finished it a few days ago as well. I enjoyed it.

I just played the first world? (collection of levels) in Horrid Henry and I had to give my thoughts on this. Mechanically it seems almost solid enough, if a bit bland. You jump poorly, throw goo at enemies in an arc, and avoid various enemies such a toy robots, paper airplanes, and spiders. The most baffling thing to me is how would this license even exist in the first place. From my brief exposure it's about a kid who terrorizes his parents, brother, and babysitter for no reason but to be a dick to them. Apparently it's pretty popular to create a whole series of books, but I can't see the reasoning.

In short, it's a rudimentary platformer with mechanics that aren't quite there, and a license that shouldn't exist (opinions).



I was actually surprised at it being a platformer as I thought it was a point/click adventure game for some reason.

GMG supposedly has a new 30% off voucher GMG30-DEC01-ARFC9 tried to look through to see what might be interesting:

STEAM
Kung Fu Strike for $1.75 - 75% plus 30% off $9.99

Skydrift for $1.75 - 75% plus 30% off $9.99

Mortal Kombat Arcade Kollection for $2.79 (Not Collection, Kollection as in Kardashian Kollection at Sears) - 60% plus 30% off $9.99

Blades of Time Limited Edition for $9.51 - 66% plus 30 % off $39.99 (oddly, it is the same price as the regular edition)

NOT STEAM
Borderzone for $2.79 60% plus 30% off $9.99. 1C post apocalyptic action RPG. I wonder if MysterD knows any more about this one.

Zoo Empire for 86 cents - 75% plus 30% off $4.95 (note cannot be traded in at present)

Trainz for $6.99 - 75% plus 30 % off $39.99. Good price for it if you don't need it on Steam. I think Fox said Amazon had it even cheaper once (?)

and because I had to throw one goofy Euro Simulator in:

Towing Simulator for $2.79 - 60% plus 30% off $9.99. The one review really liked it. Note that it cannot be traded in at present.
