Oh my god I got a booster pack! Pretty sure that's my first one ever. Joined Steam 2004. Was for Mutant Year Zero.
Woo! Bless you Gaben.
Woo! Bless you Gaben.
At this point I think it's easier to install the JP version (using the modded launcher that is used for the english fan patch) than the NA version. The biggest barrier of entry there is probably creating an account, which needs you to go through an hiragana captcha.
The image and name is correct in the overlay/client but it's all wrong on the community page. It wasn't even the "Hit The Beach" achievement that was unlocked, but "Flyover Country". Weird. For clarification, Halo is the second map and The Silent Cartographer is the forth map, so it unlocked the achievement that has the right image in the community page but wrong description.
nah, that seems like 2 much of a hassle just for a game that I might play for maybe 2 hours and then stop playing.
If the download fails this time around then I think I will just not bother

I somehow managed to download PSO2
so it turns out the admin thing is a warning on the store for a lot of games (?) but for some reason when I clicked "install" nothing happened and I was thinking it was due to that, I tried a lot of stuff and I'm assuming SOMETHING fixed the issue, because there WAS one, just I have no idea what since the store literally did NOTHING when I clicked install.
Weird, but alright I guess.
After that for some reason the store didn't want to install the game in any other drive except for the C drive, weird, turns out I had to delete an already existing WindowsApp folder in my other drive, which was preventing the store from actually installing stuff somehow, I guessed it was this because when I told the store to install any other new app in the other drive it told me it'd be necessary to wipe all the other apps installed there except it couldn't delete them when I told it to
I figure that was probably due to permissions and that was a leftover from my previous windows 10 installation before the format, probably left there since my previous messing around with gamepass/xbox app.
Anyway I wrestled with permissions until I could nuke the old folder and everything went off without a hitch then.
I suppose this whole ordeal would have been massively better if MS didn't try to reinvent the wheel and released a simple client like ubisoft/ea/blizzard instead of this abominable thing that seems to get finnicky with account/permissions.
It probably would help if it linked to a FAQ with potential fixes when errors/issues occurred.
Now one nice thing,I hate regionlocks and Steam as far as regionlocking goes is locked down like fort knox, on the MS store I bypassed the NA only release simply by using the web browser version and telling it to install PSO2 at which point I clicked the prompt to use the store (similar to when steam asks to open the client bootstrapper if you select "play" from a web browser) and the game would download.
So at least for that the store is nice I suppose.

also - my money's on next Trials being sub-only as well
Ubisoft cannot handle this franchise for shit. As someone who absolutely fucking loves Shootmania and Trackmania, seeing them constantly do shit like this actually hurts. It never stops getting worse.Wow, Trackmania requiring a subscription for user content but otherwise F2P? I’m out.

Guess ill stick with Canyon and Storm per usual.

I'm tired of this bullshit. The seller is a piece of shit, Kinguin is siding with the seller. And Paypal seem to be heading that way.
Imma gonna sell you a beta key, but it's just like the regular game. It's not the same thing for Steam ? Who cares ? Repeat after me, same game.
How come?
I regularly get a booster pack at least twice a month. Joined in 2011 and now at level 90.
I think i have had maybe 4 boosters in 15 years. I hear about other people getting boosters all the time but i get nothing. Not that i care much beyond pointing it out though.
Are we talking about booster packs again? I got one recently. I probably got two this month
I used to get several booster packs per month. This was like 3-4 years ago.
Nowadays I get a pack every 3 or 4 months lol. Maybe its because I rarely craft badges anymore or maybe the Steam population has grown so much recently that the odds of getting anything are very low.

Likewise, it looked amazing!
And then people wonder why we aren't okay with the games industry routinely accessing this level of privilegeAnd it's not even the worst. I remember this one anti cheat that even block Geforce Experience/Shadowplay and Discord from running.
I missed Pangya, there is no other game like that
. We know how they ship games, the magnitudes of the impact for fucking up is multiplied tenfold when running a driver. That's just one of the reasons I'm really against it.
I dont know. Im at level 37 so maybe i need to get that higher to increase the odds. I only recently (in the last 3-4 years) started bothering with making badges.
300M? That's arguably one if the most expensive games every made, if not the one.Who could've seen this coming

Nah, forget about it.
I'm level 119, I have 214 bagdes, and I get no boosters, at all. Nothing.
I used to get occasionally a few several years ago. Now, it's been years since I got one.
Clearly, buying a lot of stuff on Steam, playing games until all cards drop (actually playing them, not running a tool), crafting badges, and increasing my level, is not enough.
Those odds (if I remember correctly, each level was supposed to increase my odds by 10%, I believe) are rather funny, considering I got more badges as level 20, than I have 100 levels later.
That's weird. I get about 1 booster a month. I sold a few during the Christmas sale and I still have around 30 in my inventory, from the past couple of years. I'm lvl 50ish.
According to the stats, I have 240 games eligible for drops. That's about half my collection.

As I understand, booster packs are sent out each time someone crafts a badge. So it depends on what games one has also to get booster packs to and how often people craft badges for them.
Yeah, this is my understanding as well. It's far less about your Steam level, and far more about the games you own. It can also easily change over time, as people craft less badges for some games, and more for others.
The last few booster packs I've gotten were from crappy games that have long been banned from steam so I can't sell them. I now have 88 cards including a foil that I can't sell. I get boosters every 4 days, 16 hours and 38 minutes without fail. You could set your clock by it.
Monster Train is fantastic, but I despise its progression system. I get rolling out content over multiple runs in a roguelike to ease players in, but the drip-feed here is painfully slow. Just give me the cards and let me play already. I do not understand why so many people like these tedious systems grafted onto games.
It feels extra egregious in Monster Train, since the game is gating simpler cards behind the unlocks while giving you the more complex stuff up front. The default Umbra card pool has stuff like: "Do A, but then also generate B Morsels of C or D rarities". Then I narrowly lose my first Umbra run and unlock "Making of a Morsel", a simple card that makes one Morsel of a specific type. When a card like that is gated but stuff like Gem Trove isn't, it makes the progression feel less like a way to help the new-player-experience and more like a waste of my time. (I'm also salty because I lost due to a lack of scaling, and that card might've been enough to get me over the hump.)
So yeah, great game, but I'd be a lot happier if I could just skip this grind.

System Shock Demo
The full version of System Shock is available on GOG.com. You can purchase it here Af
Supposed to go live on Steam too but it's not up yet.
300m on a Battle Royale shooter jesus christWho could've seen this coming
It's weird I've gotten beta keys for games and they end up just fine. It's how Inti Creates made their free DLC available when you purchase their game (this is still about Dragon Marked for Death key correct)? If they made the key as a free on the store page it would've worked out just fine but since it was bundled up together it seems to have made this much more difficult.
Though I don't know how you feel about having a 'beta' key vs a store copy on your list of games through your account settings

I'm level 51 and in 6 years I got 7-8 booster packs. I actually got one earlier this month.
GOG has a bunch of allegedly new demos available exclusively (for now) on their store. I say "allegedly" because at least four of the games here (System Shock, Cris Tales, Spiritfarer, Carrion) have/had demos on Steam already, and I'm not sure exactly how much has changed.
Yeah, the game peculiar steam structure is the elephant in the room.
But after a month of bullshit this is beginning to seriously tingle my anti-consumer sense. And when Paypal is starting to serve me bullshit like we need moar proofs, while I have sent them a screenshot of my license page stating plainly this is a beta key, I can't say I'm in a good mood about all this.
