I'm very touched. Thank you. Wake up in the wee hours and see all this trading card delight. You, sir, have made my day.

 
Have FF7 on PSP/PS3, but might get it when it's 75% off for the mods.

along with 8, 9, X, (not X2), and XII. Nah, actually only need XII on PC since original PS3 took a dive and now I'd actually have to break out the PS2 to play it.

Or you could try it with an emulator.

 
I bought FF VII off PSN, yet I want it for Steam. What is wrong with me, lol. Of course I never played FF VII either (shoot me now).

Absolutely nothing.

If you like double-dipping and like supporting Square-Enix, what's wrong w/ that? {shrug}

Also - FF7 is a classic.

Well, actually...so is FF6.

When you get a chance - make sure you play FF7.

Got my first foil drop in Alan Wake.

Started playing the game this morning, but I uninstalled it. Fairly sure the game will upset me, as I'm a weenie. Also, the wooden expressions of the characters makes me feel like I'm playing a game with mannequins. It sort of creeped me out. I'm going to assume they looked really great when they came out, but man. Aliens.

 
The Endless Space price ($11.54 for Emperor Edition + Disharmony DLC) was indeed a glitch as confirmed by one of the developers.

It's a glitch. We have contacted Valve already on this matter.

We sincerely apologise for the inconvenience.

It's back up to $34.99 now, so congrats to anyone else that got one.

So if I buy FF VII now can I also get the same awe and wonderment I had when I first saw this game, or will I have to remain my haggard, disenfranchised self who can no longer feel the euphoria for video games I had when I was a young man...

or can I get that feeling if it has CARDZZZ!!!

IMO you made the right call. I found it became a huge grind to beat the further it went on, and the story was the only part worth playing for (well that and the between level songs). Overall though I found it hugely disappointing and overated. I still can't understand all the praise it gets, but I guess it just wasn't for me *shrugs*
 
I liked Alan Wake a lot, I thought the storytelling was great and the combat was entertaining. Repetitive perhaps, but with a little variety in the scenarios. It was challenging but not overly so (the first DLC is much harder). I liked how they made you feel nervous about exploring a bit for the collectibles, since that meant you could be surrounded by the Taken if you strayed too much from the regular path. I dind't find it particularly scary, but it was intriguing enough to make me go on. And it looked fantastic on the PC.

I actually had fun with X-2. It didn't take itself so damn seriously like every other Final Fantasy game, and it was actually fun.

But I'm probably in the minority there.

I enjoyed X-2, it had one of the better job systems in awhile. If I recall Dark Knight was broken awesome.

 
DirkBelig said:
Hmmm? Sorry, but that fat f*cking LIAR Gabe Newell
said that the reason for episodic gaming was that it would allow them to kick out smaller segments faster than full games would take. ORLY? How has that worked out? Episode 2 came out in October 2007! It has been 5 years 9 months since then and we're still waiting for the last chapter of the trilogy. In comparison was SIX YEARS between Half-Life's release and the release of Half-Life 2, including the 14-month delay past the originally promised street date.

We were left hanging with an unfinished story that broke on an intense down note. There is absolutely no reason the third chapter, which would've been just 4-6 hours long like the others, should've taken longer than the 16-20 months the first two took. Remember when Gabe initially promised that they'd have episodes out in six months? Bwahahahahahaha!!!! Eat some more, you fat lying f*ck!!!

In almost the time it took Valve to make the Source engine and the entirety of Half-Life 2 - including the delays because Gabe kept eating the hard drives with the work on it because he'd heard they were a good source of iron - we haven't heard squat about where the promised Episode 3 is or if it's ever going to come. Whenever anyone asks, Gabe eats them and says, "Look, you chumps. Party hats! Trading cards you can sell for a quarter! Love me! GET INTO MAH BELLY!!!" and the chumps think he's the ginchiest. Pffft.

Valve should just announce, "Hey, you know Episode 3? Well, it's off with the rest of the SiN Episodes. Sorry about that, but we're working on something really cool to make up for it. Have some hats and cards while you wait, mmmkay? kthxbai!" but that would require some honesty and based on Valve's history, that's not gonna happen until they are run by someone whose only two abilities aren't eating and lying.

I have a key for War Of the Roses that I got from some Amazon Paradox bundle earlier this year. I never redeemed it because I don't care for games that are multiplayer only, and I never bothered to sell it because I'm lazy. Should I now use the key even though I know that I'll never play the game, just to get the cards?

 
Mooby said:
you need to provide Valve with your name, address, and... SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER? Uh... I don't think so. I checked and I'm already at like 115 items sold. Guess I'll have to be selective now 'cuz I'm damn sure not giving them my SSN.

Social Security numbers are a dime for nothin' -- sheeiittt, I have your SS#, death certificate, and baby pictures of your mom.

They were free with a medium vegetable-lo-mein and 2 egg roll.

The Iron Sheik probably has it too.

I know for some of the freelance work I do the limit is $600 before they say they need my social. Not sure if that limit is because I'm technically a contractor, or because they figure at that point you have to be getting close to the 600 payment limit no matter what.

I say might as well, chances are you'll make as much from selling the cards as you would selling the game IMO.

Also super tempted by picking up FFVII since it was my first FF (didn't get into rpgs til PS1 era for some reason) But I can't help but think it might hit at least 25% off during the summer sale.

Last night when I farmed the cards, they were going for about 70¢ each. Don't know where they're at now but I at least got a few bucks out of it. I think there's only three card drops though (set of 5).

Man, I'm actually looking forward to Steam Summer Sale after the last few rounds of GMG offerings and Amazon's yawnfest. Maybe the mighty Swedes have something planned.

grabbed from gamersgate with the 20% compensation discount. instant first day discount ftw! also grabbed 400days with the same discount.

 
Damn foil cards, got an Alan wake foil card and last night they were priced at 12$, now they're at 2$ and not even selling, foil cards are maybe not worth enough anymore.

 
So, winter sale Steam sucked and Amazon was awesome, with GMG doing pretty well for themselves. So far this summer, GMG and Amazon have been really lackluster. Hoping GMG saves some good deals for when Steam starts, or that Steam blows them out of the water.

Give me a foil card over a regular every time. They might not be worth what they used to be, but last night when I farmed my Alan Wake cards, I got a Sarah card and a Sarah (Foil) card. Guess which one sold for $0.30 and which one sold for $5.00.

 
Really excited for the summer sale (mainly because of the Steam Card cash I have sitting in my wallet).  It's kind of nice to have some 'mad money' that I can't use for anything else going in to one of these.

Also, I totally didn't just update my avatar to a better/bigger image in the hopes Jshackles would make me a CAG card.. really, it's just a coincidence... yeah.. coincidence.   :)

Yeah. My wallet has been pretty safe due to Amazons "Product Unavailable" and GMG's "server maintenance" every time something I want is on sale. :booty:

There's nothing scary about Alan Wake that you won't see in the very first level. It never gets more intense than that.

I own 37/48 games that have trading cards. I've farmed 34/37 of those games for cards so far. Have not yet got a single foil.
Click to expand...
You're not alone; I've gotten cards from most of the games as well and still no foil. I wonder what the percentage chance for a foil is? The people who've gotten multiple foils make me jealous...
