I have it, it's pretty fun. If you have a controller for PC, get it on PC, otherwise go for XBOX.

Flying controls are shit, but the rest of the game's solid.

I have the wireless xbox controller reciever for windows so all my games are "xbox games" even if they're for PC


but my PC also sucks ass

[Maruchan]

Umbrage, I never thought I'd say this to you, but thanks. You've convinced me to get it for the (cheaper) PC instead of xbox, if it'll run on this pos.

[Maruchan]

aaaaaaand nope.

Can't get LEGO: Marvel.

Why?

Steam doesn't support a billing address thats a US Military APO/FPO address. I open a support ticket and they tell me to just put my homestate there instead, what happens? Shocker! The bank declined the billing information! You'd think Steam would be a big enough game distributor to realize HEY WE HAZ MILITARY CUSTOMERS WHO WANTS GAMES TOO!!!!!

[Maruchan]

I'm an idiot.

NOW I remember why I always used paypal for steam purchases. Cuz their card billing system sucks ass. Off to paypal I shall go to add money to my account!

Then I have to up my verizon data allowance by 8 gigs. woooo $70 LEGO Game!!!!!!!!!

[Maruchan]

so i got lego marvel superheroes, and got far enough through the storyline to open free-roam through the city. haven't had a chance to play it since then (about 2 weeks or so ago), want to play it so bad

[Maruchan]

I don't see how you wouldn't finish the game at least once in that length of time.

I'm not in High School anymore, and have a real job now that I have to be on-call 24/7 when not working, and when we are working, we often don't get free time for days to weeks on end depending on how long we spend out to sea. A normal underway schedule, 0700-1700 is a work day, with a 1 hour lunch in the middle, outside of normal working hours, we have a watch schedule rotation of 5 hours on watch 10 hours off watch, so the 14 hours of "off time" is really 5 hours of watch, and 9 hours of eating breakfast, dinner, working out, showering, doing some more work if you're behind in the work you needed to get done in the workday, and if you're lucky catching 5-6 hours of sleep. We do get sunday mornings from 7 till noon off, if you're not on watch, but if you're not on watch, you either had the 0200 till 0700, or the 10PM-2AM watch, so you want to be sleeping during that time, not playing useless video games.


I bought the game shortly before getting underway for Mobile, Alabama for a port visit for Mardi Gras, all said the underway lasted 4 weeks, so I didn't get much play time.



Did that clear up how I was unable to finish the game in that timeframe?


(inport, it isn't so bad, we have a decently normal schedule, 0700-1600 workdays, with one out of every 6 days you have Duty, where you have what is basically the same schedule as being underway)

[Maruchan]

Well, if you're going to monumentally miss the point:

dedicate

at least 10-12 hours of play to it

I'm going to put us back on track?
Seriously, that has nothing to do with Chevre's question or my answer. Chevre is talking specifically about only the amount of time spent on the game. The game is like 10 hours maximum if you screw around as much as physically possible.
(I've personally never played it myself but the playthrough I did watch on YouTube was 6 hours in length approximately, for what it's worth.)

Though maybe you read my response as towards you directly, which also makes no sense since Chevre asked about game length and I responded in the next post? So no I wasn't talking to you in the first place no sorry.

i totally missed chevre's post.

Blames my slow as fk internet.

thanks again navy ship.

I thought you were asking why i hadn't beat the game i was talking about in the 2 or 3 weeks I've had it. sorry

i love how you have more uninstalled than installed games.

I'm working on updating/installing all my games now, while I am on unmetered internet

I recommend trying the demo for SpaceChem.

most installed games are ones I haven't played yet, thus the uninstalled ones I *have* played

Are you sitting on a savefile for Dysfunctional Systems, or have you just not read it?

Also:

Games not played : 80 (34%)

spacechem looked fun, I've looked at it a few times and almost bought it

[Maruchan]

A: Clash of Clans looks fun after watching that I might have to try it.
B: Has anyone ever downloaded a game faster than their PC can write the downloaded information to disk? Trololol. I'm downloading between 1 and 10 mb/s and it's capping out my shitty PC's write to disk speed which keeps pausing the download. I have never hit internet speeds high enough to consistently download at an average of 5 mg/s. This internet is BAD ASS. AND IT ONLY COSTS ME TWENTY DOLLARS A MONTH

[Maruchan]

except I'm broke till monday because Tuesday 1st

[Maruchan]

Also, OH MY GOD BANISHED!!!! THAT GAME IS AMAZING!!! http://store.steampowered.com/app/242920/ so addicting. It's like a super dumbed down dwarf fortress mimic that actually is fun and easy enough to understand, and SO ADDICTING.

but my people always starve in year 8/9

The game looks interesting enough when I was researching it, but I'm waiting for it to go on sale... because you can always get games cheaper than what their normal price is... eventually.

Easily worth full price (in my opinion). Glad I bought it.

[Maruchan]

All of my games are in the past year and a half.

[Maruchan]

monaco is a free trial this weekend so everyone "owns" it

[Maruchan]

dunno why monaco is getting the free trial thing seeing as it was in a popular humble bundle a month ago but what do I know about steam marketing

humblebundle isn't associated with steam afaik, so that might be why both individual companies ran a sale on it at the same time

[Maruchan]

FREE GAMES

PLEASE, only take the games you actually want and plan on playing, and don't take one of each just because "Hey I don't own that game in my steam library of 1,000 games of which I've played 20". That way every game goes to someone who wants it. Try to limit yourself to two to three games, but I won't forbid you from taking a bunch if you think you'll play them.

Anything not claimed within 48 hours is going up on /b/

[Maruchan]

sorry about that. No offense but you guys are the second community to which I belong that I gave dibs on the games to, so someone from the other site must've pulled a hit n run on it without telling me.

[Maruchan]

Spore is really fun.

And me and my crew almost took down one of those mega monsters with 1000HP as a lil guy with 50HP, but then I died when he got to 300l

[Maruchan]

Yeesh like everything on this day I want, but it's more than I wanted to spend. :/ I think I"ve narowed it down to TWD S1, Pixel Piracy, and Spore.

That face when I bought the full spore package last weekend for 50 dollars.

and now its 75% off

Cook, Serve, Delicious!
https://www.humblebundle.com/gift?key=GyMYZyZFHk6ERdqN

A really great addicting frustrating restaurant simulator game where you have to "cook" meals by pressing corresponding keys to the ingredients. It's quite fun actually.

free code. First come first serve.


Please, don't accept this one unless you've actually looked at the game and truly want to play it, as this is a game I personally already own and play, and want to pass on the awesome to some other kindred spirit.

[Maruchan]

Also, free keys in the steam IDs thread...

But the reason I'm not getting the bundle is I already have tropico 4 and Truck simulator. Both are very, very good and worth it Chevre. Tropico actually doesn't have too bad of a labor market simulator (if a bit too easy), and truck simulator is the most chill game you will ever play.

Also, go read the steam IDs thread...

[Maruchan]

god damn it. I've wanted KSP forever, and all you guys are just making me want it more.


How much is it currently?

[Maruchan]

Unless it pulls a "Towns" and "releases" while still full to shit of bugs and is essentially a beta.


but I have faith in it that it won't do that

[Maruchan]

well you guys got me to buy KSP. 'grats.

Hey guys, I want to start playing a new game. Has to be on Steam, new-ish, and have a really good story. Suggestions?

Saint's Row IV, Sid Meier's Civilization V, Banished, Portal 2, Watch Dogs

[Maruchan]

So I decided to try Kerbal Space Program, and I'm gotten to the point where I've unlocked every single of the tier one science, and the science-branch of the tier two, and I'm done every science experiment and project as many times as I can and am now at +0 science for doing any of them, have done all the science-awarding challenges from the objectives area I am currently able to with my level of tech, and have no new ways to warn more science, and don't have enough science to unlock anything new

whatdo?

[Maruchan]

what is Offworld Trading Company, reck? Sounds fun

[Maruchan]

I bought Syndicate, anybody have any thoughts on the game yet?

[Maruchan]

Already have both but you're awesome dude (Y)
