Shoot, no wonder you're so good. If I played 327 hours of Rocket League... I'd still suck.

Hey come on, when I first started playing Rocket League with this group, I took to staying away from the ball at times for things to not get out of hand. Now I actually have to try. Sometimes. :whistle2:$

OUt of curiosity, how are you pushing 300+ hours out of one playthrough in FO4? My playthrough took me about 95 hours (granted, none of the dlc was out when I played), I finished all the side quests and it probably near every location, did a lot of exploring. Are you just doing a ton of building?

Surprised you felt that way about FO3 though, I really enjoyed it, although I think it probably was the worst of the three. The three games all do things different that are better...4 has the best combat/graphics, NV the best writing and choices/consequences, 3 the best atmosphere. It's hard to pick a favorite overall.

I started to do a bunch of building but probably not until the 250hr point. Aside from that, it's just been a ton of roaming around and exploring -- I still find new locations from time to time. Sometimes I'd wind up revisiting old locations after they respawned either for salvage or because I just liked the layout and fights. Probably 15-20 hours in Far Harbor so far. Beyond that, I couldn't tell ya.

FO3 was sort of like Skyrim for me: "Oh, cool, big world...", wander around and do a bunch of side stuff, eventually get bored and just plow through the main quest to finish the game. And, as I said before, the ending was deplorably stupid before they fixed it for the DLC. It was kind of cool because my wife's family lives in the DC area so I'd recognize places and names but ultimately a lot of it just looked the same -- one ruined grey building after another. One thing I appreciated about FO4: At least it's in color.

Ironically, I never joined the Minutemen and so never did any of his "save this settlement" bullshit radiant quests. 

I met him, led his band of losers to Sanctuary, he was all "Oh, please lead our team" and I was like "I'm a lawyer who was unfrozen literally six hours ago and know nothing of this world and have zero skills and I'm the best person you can beg to lead your militia?  Seriously?  Holy hell you guys are god damned losers.   I wouldn't formerly associate myself with your band of hair bags on a drunk bet."

I don't have FO4.

When you "Talk" to Preston Garvey (after you've joined his Minutemen group), he will open up a "Radiant AI quest" (random-generated quest). There are "Settlement" areas all over the game's map; he's basically going to tell you to go to one.

Often, these quests involves wiping out enemies there on an offensive mission (to some other nearby location/HQ so they don't come to the Settlement) or just defend the area to wipe out enemies.

Sometimes, he'll send you to Settlements that are new to you (which you'll have to go find) or you've settled at already.

Once you've "settled" in that area, you can build up the area w/ furniture, food, and other things - however you see fit. It's like The Sims series' house-building part of the game basically.

It wasn't glitch or well it was but it was supposed to be less actually. Humble had too big MSRP but % was right.

Yeah it was a glitch, but not a beneficial one. We had a bronight for it and while it is fun for a few hours, it's lacking too much content for me to recommend buying

I'm shocked at the mixed reviews... They had to know what they where buying right? lol

What's weird about it is that I agree with both. This looks both bizarrely fun and pretty boring all at the same time. Why is archbishop posting stuff like this at this tempting pricepoint?! Damn him.

Of course, it's bound to turn up in at least one BS and three Indie Galas before year's end. I wonder whether there's any multiplayer. . . .

I was considering it, but not a historical low and will likely be bundled and there is DLC and standalone DLC so while I loved Shelter, I will either wait for bundle or some sort of full pack thing.

Exactly the same thought as me. Really want to play that and that Paws game, but its bound for a standard Humble or even BS sooner rather than later.

This is bullshit.

It'd be one thing if it was only a handful of VAC-enabled games (CS:GO and all the big e-sports shit), but it's any and all VAC-supported games, of which there are a ton more than you'd think. If you look at the list posted in the quote below, it's 17 full fucking pages including shit you'd never expect like Resident Evil 6, Total War Shogun 2, Dark Messiah of Might & Magic, 100% Orange Juice, Dungeon Defenders and even fucking Sanic Racing Transformed. And that's just the big surprises on the first two pages.

Not to mention it says "game ban supported" which is vague enough to mean pretty much any game with MP cheat detection or possibly not even that.

"Valve allows developers to implement their own systems that detect and permanently ban any disruptive players, such as those using cheats"

Meaning that it could include just any sort of bad behaviour, like being a potty mouth, and is entirely at the developer's discretion.

The biggest kick in the teeth though is the inability to store gifts anymore and there's no way in hell that this isn't a convenient excuse to fuck with traders and limit sale glitch purchases (most high price MP titles have VAC or some sort of system in place)

It feels like every time Valve makes a significant change to Steam these days, it's a bigger and bigger "fuck you, this is happening and you'll like it". It's astonishing.

But hey, at least they finally developed that Windows Phone app. :bouncy:

inm8num2 said:
Yea the gift restriction is just for the game that you gifted to someone who got VAC banned.

Here's the list of VAC-enabled games. If you regularly gift games in places like SteamGifts, it may be wise to exercise caution and set higher entry requirements or do private giveaways for VAC-enabled games.

Well since this is pretty much my home on CAG, I figured I would ask a totally not Steam related question../gasp:

Anyone here have any experience with the Samsung Gear VR? I'm wasting money on a Note 7, because quite frankly I have never went balls out on a new "flagship" phone before. While perusing the phone specs and accessories, I came across the Gear VR, which I didn't even know existed. Sooooo if anyone could help a brother out and give me some opinions on whether the Gear VR is worthy or not, I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

I don't think you can consider yourself having gone "balls out" unless you bought all the bullshit accessories.

I think the Gear VR is an Oculus. If you can use it on your PC, then maybe it makes sense, but for a phone, it seems kinda silly. Just my two cents.

Seems like Valve will just go with scorched earth policies from here forward.

"Someone got a VAC ban in a game you gifted to them? U NO GIFT THAT GAME N E MO!"

"You refunded a game/gift that you didn't even install or play? U WAIT 2 HOURS 4 CARD DROPS NAO!"

etc.

Does trying it out at Best Buy count? And in fact, is that an option for you?

The wife and I did it a few weeks back (this was on a Galaxy for the demo.) It was pretty neat from what I remember. You could see all around you and behind you. I don't recall there being a sound element to the demo either and I also don't recall there being any hand controls or anything like the Rift. So I don't know how much use it has for gaming, but for video it was pretty neat.

No thanks at around $46.14 USD (Google price conversion) for everything DkS3.

I still ain't finished Dark Souls 1 PTD; ain't done anything w/ Dark Souls 2 (base-game / original version); and ain't bought DkS2: Scholar.

So, DkS3 is not even close to being on my radar...probably for a GOOD while.

Go and beat the first one then after that just skip the second one and go into the third one. Dks2 is so bad, just play Salt and Sanctuary instead and then jump into the 3rd Souls game.
