Anyone used SteamCardExchange yet? Looks like an interesting premise at least for those that are trying to complete badges for a game and getting duplicate cards.

"Not yet ready for primetime" it seems, as they charge a premium price on the trade if it's their last card in the bot's inventory. For items they have multiples of though, it seems to be a 1:1 trade ratio.
Click to expand...
I use that and the Backpack.tf Cardswap service. The Backpack.tf one has one difference - you can "pay" with TF2 Metal or Keys. The same "last card costs more" rule is also there, but, if you're only looking to swap one card for another, it works quite well.

Not having to interact with an actual person would be high on my list of reasons to use the bot trading service.

Truth. I briefly spent time at tf2r, examined the user base, and left immediately. It's 1000x worse than the Counter-Strike community, which is why I stopped playing the day it went retail. Also why I avoid reddit like the plague.
 
valve finally wised up and found a way to get CAGs to actually buy games during the Steam Sale, give out "free" steam bucks which only can be spent on Steam, brilliant.....

Both.  The game made me hate Croatia a little just for hosting the developers.

It's clunky, ugly and dull.  Also, the dialogue is off -- the narration when you begin a new game for example bears only a passing resemblance to what's on your screen.

Someday this will be in an indie bundle and you'll all say "That Syntax Error, he sure knew his stuff".  If there's any justice, it'll be an Indie Facekick 2 bundle.

Well, at least you can take solace in the fact that you supported a better-looking Numen clone like a bra supports a pair of Eastern European cans under a thin brown shirt. Too bad you didn't pledge $250 or higher, maybe then she would've driven down from Massachusetts to thank you. (we all know that's what you wanted) ;)

thanks, but for now I'd like to keep it just games with special content as a preorder bonus. If others feel it's worth adding all the 10% off preorders I guess I could, but I'd rather not mess with it if I could help it (the whole OP broke when I added the raven game earlier, though thankfully it only took about a half hour to fix).

Honestly though, the game looked good on paper. It should have stayed on paper.
Click to expand...
If we want to be honest about it, this game looked good when it was Guild Wars 2, and World of Warcraft before that, and Diablo before that. Vast, open-world RPGs have been done too well too many times before.
 
Generic, ugly, poor controls, boring.  By about two minutes in, I was starting to click through dialogue already.  Poor voice acting.  Combat was spam clicking.  I don't know how they got their shots in the promo video but I could barely zoom in; I had essentially two zoom settings: Far and kinda far.  But that wasn't so bad because the close ups I had of my character during creation weren't anything I'd want to look at.  It's a 3rd person ARPG where you can't move via mouse, only WASD.  Buggy -- got stuck in rocks.  When you go into water, you just fall in, still walking like you just walked off the ledge and disappear.  In short, it just isn't any fun to play.  I'll probably try again out of some sense of obligation but there's much better ways to spend your gaming moments.

I'm obviously joking about any real bitterness or anger although it is disappointing.  I wasn't expecting GW2 but I thought it'd be $15 worth of entertainment.  It's not though.

W/ all those kind of bugs and issues - does it have as many issues as Gothic 3 upon release? ;)

Sounds like it needs A LOT of patching and/or overhauling on the technical side.

Oh, can you reconfigure the controls? 

(I'm left-handed - I use Up, Down, Left, Right cursors for movement)

Can you turn-off the English voice-acting?

You can remap the keys. You can't move via point & clicking with the mouse. There's no option to turn off voice acting (you can make it Croatian, Hungarian or Russian though). I saw that there were zoom in/out keys in the map (I had used my mouse's scroll wheel) and thought maybe I misjudged there but, no, they're no more effective than the wheel.

Well this whole trading card stuff finally got me to play Binding of Issac. I have to say that's a pretty fun game even though I am absolutely awful at it.

By the way, what should I do with the cards? What would you guys do? I been selling duplicates for whatever the market value and keeping any I don't own. Is that a good strategy? Just wondering what the best move is since I only somewhat understand all this trading card biz.

I know I'm asking tons of questions - and will ask some more, probably - but, thanks A LOT for the info!

About controls -- Hmmmm....does the game work w/ a gamepad natively?

About voice-acting -- I do this often w/ foreign games, if this option is available to put the game's VO in its native language (Non-English) w/ English written sub-titles.

My advice is sell, because prices haven't gone up since the start of the beta. With everyone introduced to the market, things are already more unstable (some BoI cards were selling for as low as 16 cents on the day of their release). It's smart to sell now and buy them back later when they get cheaper (if you want them).

Or you could hold onto them and wait for the Summer Sale. Some people think Valve may make stackable coupons or make badges useful during the sale, or simply do something worthwhile with the cards. Thus this may make the card values go up. I personally don't think so, but it's up to you.

Click to expand...
Well you need to come to a decision on whether you plan to craft any badges. If yes, continue selling duplicates, but then use the money that you get from the sales to buy the cards that you don't have. If no, there's no real point in holding onto any of the cards.

No, no native controller support. M+KB only. Amusingly, when I loaded the game to check, I noticed my in-game map which used to display my location as Kor-whatever Falls now says ~missing~ in the location field :lol:

Monopoly is actually a tale of future rights-management dystopia; you play as members of the Illuminati, tightening your grip over the masses with out-of-control pricing and ever-more-invasive EULAs.

Clue was originally spelled C'lu; you were supposed to explore an old New England mansion, trying to piece together the incantation that would open a mysterious free-standing door, through which could be heard gurgling noises and wordless chanting.

Then there's Sorry, which spun a tale of zombie survival horror long before George Romero was a twinkling in his parents' eyes...

Yeah, some of the remarks are taking a turn for the dark. She's an attractive woman. She may/probably hammed it up a bit for the video. No biggie, whatever gets eyeballs to watch your sales pitch all the way through. No reason to start getting nasty though.

They said they were going to, then they released the PS3 version, then they announced a big PC update that's upcoming. I don't really follow the dev so I don't know if their "new" project fizzled out so they returned to Terraria or what. But, you're right: they once announced that they were essentially finished with Terraria and moving on to new projects.

I *think* that the console conversion has been done by a third party? Could be wrong.

I follow one of the devs, Tiyuri(sp?) on Twitter and he's been pretty active in dropping pieces of information about the new title, Starbound. The reason Terraria was "abandoned" was that they'd done all they wanted to do with it as far as I can tell. There's still quite a lot of content in there.

Edit: Ooh, they're releasing a new content patch (1.2) in July. Probably a nice time to go for caaaaaaaaaaards, then.

I'll take your word on it for the PS3 port.  I only know it exists because my son used to play on PC, then got excited to see it come to PS3 and is now back to the PC.  Both because he likes the PC version better and because of the big content update that's supposed to be coming.

I'm guessing at least 10-12 cards for Terraria if you have all the NPCs with cards plus the bosses.  Even if they only do the original bosses and not the "hard mode" ones.

Un-breaking breaking news of the day:

Terraria devs are working on card art for Steam trading cards. (They tweeted a pic earlier this morning)

This has been a rubbish news announcement.

It at least confirms that the developers themselves are in charge of card content, so we know who to blame when the cards/emoticons/backgrounds are shitty.
