QUOTE(JinXXX @ Aug 23 2010, 07:42 PM) why isn't this thread pinned ? since the steam promotion thread and the gog thread is pinned ? Request has been made before & mod is currently in the midst of restructuring the GH subforum. Refer to this link: http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1504101 Soon there'll be no pinned DD thread.  |

QUOTE(Edison83 @ Aug 23 2010, 11:29 PM) Now i have second thought of GamersGate 1. Can I know if it's something like Borderlands? Almost got it but put it aside last minute due to my SC2 multiplayer issue somehow got resolved.1. They screw my Men of War, the lastest patch is different from steam, so i cant play with my friends. 2. It also screw someone SaintRow2 Copy as well. 2. Not trying to defend GG or anything but apparently SR2 in Steam received lotsa rants too.  Still it's not something to look forward to from GG. EDIT: On another note, are you gonna try submit a ticket to inquire about the Men of War multiplayer issue? This post has been edited by talexeh: Aug 23 2010, 11:36 PM |

Anyone here purchased Plain Sight from GG? I'm wondering if players from GG & Steam can duke it out together.

Found something to share with you guys. I'm sure that most, if not all of us, are Steam users too. Once in a while, we do encounter the issue of Steam running out of game keys especially when it involves smoking hot games that were thrown into the offer bins. No matter what kind of issues we had with Steam (buggy games *cough cough* MTG: DotP *cough cough*), refund is near impossible (I was about to write impossible as I've never read about successful refund in the Steam forum but in case you guys seen 1 before hence the inclusion of near). Wanna see how easy it is with GG?
This might set a bad precedent but I find GG to be much more user friendly, at least they apply a certain degree of human touch when dealing with their customers & that's what I like about GG.   Noticed the respond speed from GG?

QUOTE(Gormaz @ Aug 26 2010, 08:41 PM) The guy was a bit of a d*** though, but yar, it was good form from GG to accept the refund. It's on Twitter. I think it's inevitable that they have to embrace these new social media platforms such as Facebook & Twitter since you'll lose out a lot if you don't jump onto the bandwagon. In Steam I have seen refund done "quite" easily for pre-order, seems you can cancel a pre-order and get a full refund quite easily for this. Otherwise yar, Steam non-refund policy is quite strict. Thing is, that was on facebook or twitter right? I am not so fond of having facebook being the main contact point for GG really, I am in China, I have to use my office network to access facebook, does that mean I am not entitled for quick customer service? From echoes I got getting a quick reply from GG NOT from facebook is much harder. The "tutor" system does not cut it in my opinion, I am an advanced user enough to not bother customer support for the kind of questions the tutor system answers. I totally agree it's not GG's fault that China is blocking facebook access but point is they should not, in my opinion, use a 3rd party service like facebook/twitter or whatever as the main point to get quick customer support, it's not it's purpose, it's not safe and it's not private enough.  I believe they have a certain employees assigned to their Twitter & Facebook since most of the replies were coming from Angie herself. My experience dealing with their Customer Support is pretty OK, almost comparable to Steam with the response time of 24 hours. IMHO, the Game Tutor is actually a great platform to have gamers help gamers & at the same time, you get to earn blue points if you manage to help resolve the issue! Anyway, I think I'm starting to deviate to the point of bashing Steam if I go any further. I still love both platforms but GG has been impressing me greatly since the day I started using them.

Bounce! just got released not too long ago. Gameplay is almost similar to Portal, in the sense that you've to accomplish missions to advance further. It's an indie game, so don't expect too much.

QUOTE(Deimos Tel`Arin @ Sep 4 2010, 05:48 PM) i downloading demo via steam now. http://www.gamersgate.com/all?q=&list_type=compactmight wanna get this if i rike it. Recettear: An Item Shop's Tale | -10% | $17.99 is it me dunno how to navigate gamer's gate games catalog, or steam's way of showing the games is better? i mean, with steam, i can do this: http://store.steampowered.com/search/?sort...ort_order=DESC& see all games, in list, sort by price, meta score etc. gamers gate cannot do that? O_O GG utilizes user ratings instead of metascore. You can sort the games by using the drop down Sort by: menu at the top. |

QUOTE(Mr.Beanster @ Sep 7 2010, 11:42 AM) the game is not priced yet hor.. the ea sale would be throughout the week and each day with different genre? damn gg dont have burnout paradise Oops... forgot to turn off the VPN again. I've tweeted GG to confirm if these are region locked. From the look of things, it might be region locked since it's already Tuesday here.  Still, some of us can get these games so I'll update this thread on daily basis for each day to come. EDIT:  This post has been edited by talexeh: Sep 7 2010, 04:02 PM |

QUOTE(Mr.Beanster @ Sep 7 2010, 04:40 PM) mirror edge always goes on sale at steam for 75% but this time 60% at gg? the sale not as epic as steam sale Well, we can't expect every DD platforms to match each others' offer all the time right? There will always be some games that are cheaper & some games more expensive for all DD platforms. |
