0.16m = 160,000 copies

More importantly: seriously don't use Chartz. It's banned from GAF for a reason :p
I have no idea what's ban from GAF and what isn't anymore. Is there like a thread where every banned websites is compiled?

But anyway, why is this one banned? Still 160,000. That's what I meant. :3

Edit: Btw for those that signed up to get a free copy of Aliens vs Predator 2000 from GOG a couple days ago, I just got my key. Check your email.
 
you did this to yourself, dark souls, when you didn't let me play the dlc after beating the game.

as much as i enjoyed Dark Souls (that ending was garbage, though), it forced my hand by dumping me into NG+. If i get to the point where i feel the need to grind, im whipping this link out and putting the game out of its misery just so i can see the dlc.

also, game felt so easy after demon's souls. I don't know if it's because i came to it with demon's souls in my play history or if it's because i could have over 20 healing items on me during the last 3rd of the game, maybe it was because i specced as a brutal tank and the game rewards min maxing and a focused build over spreading points over every stat. But really, it's probably because there are bonfires instead of trying to finish a whole stage without dying that makes it seems much easier.
 
Hmmm so let's have a show of hands.

  • If Korra got a load of reviews out today and said it wasn't to their tastes how many of you would buy it anyway because of PlatinumGames' past titles?
  • If it got polarizing reviews how many of you would wait for user impressions or buy it regardless?
  • If it scored top marks across the board but it turned out to be not to your tastes how many of you would criticise the reviewers?
  • How many of you are looking out for a reviewer you can trust their opinion on the kind of game Korra is and are they a professional reviewer or just an average chump like us?

I'm watching impressions of the game closely but it's going to take some extremely positive user impressions to get me to buy it. I don't trust licensed games, I don't care for the license itself, and I don't believe it's below Platinum games to farm one out.
 
That's exactly what it is, but gamers have decided that Bayonetta is "empowering", and not embarassing and sexist, for no logical reason whatsoever. I'm not sure the rest of the world agrees and I would never be seen holding a copy of it.

It's weird that you're so concerned of what other people think of you but post like this.

So SteamGAF this gaming season is almost over and we know what is delayed, announced and released or it will be released. So last night i was thinking what we can expect in 2015. and i think that it could be really good year for gaming. Many games that we are waiting for a long time could be announced.

2K could announce Mafia 3 and even R* could announce game.

Bethesda will show DOOM and it is time for Fallout 4 and/or TES game.

EA will show Star Wars games and Mirrors Edge reboot.

Ubisoft could show us new PoP and couple of other surprises.

MS will show us new GoW and Crackdown.

Sony will show Uncharted 4, maybe The Last Guardian and few other first party games.

Square Enix will release Tomb Raider and FFXV also they could show us new Hitman and Deus Ex.

And many more announcements. Beside that we will get Evolve, Witcher 3, Batman AK, Battlefield Hardline, Hotline Miami 2...

It will be good year my friends :D

Yeeeaaah baby!

... Oh god, it's customary to play every 100th game, isn't it? :(
... My game nr. 500 is Galactic Civilizations 2!
Okay, that's a lie. It's really Secret of the Magic Crystals...

This is going to be painful, pretty, cute, glorious and all kinds of pink, hellish torment, isn't it?

Because they're super unreliable. Like in this case they're 30K off at least. Good way to check if a site is banned is typing their name and hitting "Preview Post". If the name shows like this: ******** then it's banned.

Last night, I dreamed about winning a Wii U. Like, it was a thing I found, and it had a PDF of a promo code that made it free on Newegg. I'm broke as fuck, but there's a good holiday deal...

Am I going crazy... Did it used to be (or is it still) possible to view the server browser for Counter Strike/Team Fortress 2 etc outside of the main game (and get it to launch when there was a free spot)?

It's still possible.

oh Odin! It even has fishing! Now it will be triple hard to wait for it. What have you done?!
And that another one that looked really nice, Wild Season? isn't coming anytime soon too?
Or there are more of them in the making now?

Wild Season is supposed to enter early access on late November and get the official release on early March 2015. I don't know any other games similar to these both being made and getting a PC release.

Any news about a possible pre-load for Dreamfall?
Also, a possible Ground Zeroes pre-purchase?

Dreamfall is launching tomorrow? I completely forgot about it. With Civilization: Beyond Earth and Bayonetta 2 on Friday and the alpha for Kingdom Come: Deliverance on Wednesday this is definitely the busiest week of the gaming year in terms of great games.

I've actually been avoiding buying anything that I'm not going to play right now because I have a decent backlog, and I figure the sales will be equal or better during the next big sale where I get bonus cards or whatever for buying things anyway.

I wish their "get sale cards for spending X money" took into account what you spent between sales.

As bad as this week will be, personally my most busy (gaming-wise) week and specifically day will be November 18: Far Cry 4 (expecting GOTY quality), Dragon Age Inquisition (expecting GOTY quality) and Company of Heroes 2 Ardennes Assault (not expecting GOTY, but I enjoy CoH campaigns) launch the same day. If I was after the console version, GTA 5 also launches that day. Absolute madness.

Other notable games that launch on that day that I don't care about: WWE 2K15 (next-gen + PC), LittleBigPlanet 3, Escape Dead Island and Shadow of Mordor old-gen versions. Oh and Construction Simulator 2015, never forget that one. Obviously the previous week we get couple of Assassin's Creed games and new WoW expansion. I *have* to resist the urge to dip into WoW, because I just don't have the time.

I'm still not convinced about Far Cry 4 and not into CoH 2, but definitely getting Dragon Age Inquisition, unless something goes tragically wrong. And GTA V is in January for me. But that's a tough week as well, indeed.

And here I am with a Kerbal Space Program background at 0.03$ which won't even sell =(
Any lower and I wouldn't even get 0.01$ for it

3c is as low as you can go. Even if you wanted to list it at 2c and get nothing, you couldn't, but that's where Trashbot comes into play.

But then they wouldn't encourage spur of the moment overspending ;)

I concocted perfect keikaku how to avoid situation that I get myself into during every sale, I mean spending triple or quadruple, etc. of planned amount. Instead of having money cap which never worked for me, I'll go with game count cap. It goes like this: 20 games for myself, if most with huge discounts 25, 15 gifts, 10 for family-friends, 5 for steamgaf. That's it.
We'll see if it'll work better than my previous failed miserably master plans. (><)

Wild Season is supposed to enter early access on late November and get the official release on early March 2015. I don't know any other games similar to these both being made and getting a PC release.

EA... (._.)
so we aren't getting any of two until 2015, it's safe to assume.

It will be good year my friends :D

Early 2015 alone is going to be crazy.

We have Below, Titan Souls, Hotline Miami 2, Witcher 3, Bloodborne, Killing Floor 2, and REmake.

If you haven't heard of Below then I suggest checking it out right immediately.

Eh I'm good. All I want this week is bayonetta 2 and Korra.

All Platinum week.

I've got enough to tide me over until the end of the year, I think. I have Alien Isolation sitting there waiting for more playtime, Binding of Isaac is pre-ordered and waiting for the 4th, I have Transistor, STFU and Saints Row IV to go back to, XCOM to revisit.. I definitely have "enough" to keep me going. Only thing that might sway me is a sale for Hexcells Infinite, have been playing through Hexcells Plus a lot recently and it's really good. Great for having on while catching up on tv.

Same for me. Only game I've broken this rule for was shadow of mordor cause I was able to get it for that sweet Russian price and I simply couldn't resist. It was a good thing I broke it for that game too since it got locked as soon as it came out.
 
I'll be grabbing Bayonetta 2 and Fantasia, already have Dreamfall Chapters pre-loaded. Will get Beyond Earth at some point, but I don't have the time for that sort of game right now.

My shift just got moved from graveyard to 4:30 PM - 3:30 AM which are pretty odd hours. Going to have to stay awake until midnight to adjust ;-;
