Just sharing my experience with it. Just bought Steel Fury and gives you Volvo Free if you create a profile now smile.gif What's not to like.. a free game! lol.

I like:
-no client
-fast
-alternative selection of games not in steam.

Dislike (kinda)
-Installation cannot be made manually. It is done automatically and it requires internet connection to be performed properly.
-no support for download manager
-I have to copy a folder and GG's downloader if i want it on a diff machine.

That's it so far.. i'll update when i see something amiss.

Service review by Kianweic:
My take on Gamers Gate:

Pros:
1. Easy to download and install
2. DRM less intrusive compared to Steam and Stardock Impulse
3. Website is better laid out compared to Stardock Impulse
4. Region restriction not as rigid as Steam.
5. Some games are available in Gamer's Gate and are not available in Steam (my case was Gothic 3: Forsaken Gods).

Cons:
1. Backup of games takes some getting used to
2. Speed of download fluctuates a lot (probably due to Streamyx)
3. No Steamwork games (not fair to Gamers Gate though)
4. No automatic update / patch for games

Very few cons compared to pros (and most generally not Gamers Gate's fault)

In my opinion, some games are better to get from Gamers Gate (especially those without DLCs). Such as, Dead Rising 2, Gothic series and etc.


NOTE:
Your same account works for both US/UK site.

As most people will just click to latest post,no updates unless its a big thing. All promotions will usually be at latest post *mostly by Talexeh.*

Eh, I thought Gamer's Gate only available in US?

How did you managed to buy the games from them?

Just curious.

The discounts looked really tempting though.

No Gamersgate games generally have no restrictions such as that. It's Paradox's(The guys that did Hearts of Iron/ Europa Universalis) digital distribution service. They are Swedish and they also publish other games.

Well, so far i've not seen region lock on it. It accepts my paypal account fine, and its tied to a local bank too. I don't like to only depend on Steam. Who gives cheapest gets my moolah biggrin.gif. I might give impulse/D2D a try if i find the games i'm looking for.

Ashx did you have to download each game by itself since there is no download manager.

How do you resume when your line breaks?

After u've purchased a game, u can download sth like an exe file from a link under ur 'my games' tab.
The exe is actually the download manager for that specific game that u purchased. If u get disconnected halfway u can still resume ur download.

yeah, like chia said. You will have a folder called "GamersGate Temporary files" and an .exe file that's actually a downloader of a sort with the game's name. You will need to sign on to download/install. That's the biggest drawback i guess, tho you can just copy off the installed game folder later.If someone were to install in an offline comp would be a hassle i suppose...

it was sourced everywhere including second hand and other unknown source.
It's explained in their website. They said, although dodgy, they'll refund or exchange
if serial cannot be used. They'll scan the serial too. Weird but true.

Probably from 2nd hand games or retail copies in those developing countries eg. Thailand, Eastern Europe and etc.

Nuts, I need the Tropico 3 DLC to make my Tropico 3 complete.

Probably gotta wait for that to go on sale in Steam (This is because my Tropico 3 vanilla is in Steam).

I was just thinking about that.

But better not risk it because you won't be able to sell your Steam version.

Not sure about Gamer's Gate version.

I've check thru the price... aren't much attractive as Steam. At least for me.
I was looking into this

http://www.gamersgate.com/DD-W40KP/warhamm...of-war-platinum
Normal Price was $29.95, 50% Discount would be $14.97

But in Steam
http://store.steampowered.com/sub/1120/

The same package cost me on normal price $14.97 only. if there's at least a 50% discount or more, it would be less than $10 already.
LOL

I don't think you can sell as well.
It's the same thing like when you purchase your games thru EA directly.
It will be tagged under your account and it's not transferable.

The only thing is they don't use clients to run, instead using Web Based UI to download the games.

Gamers Gate have also much more sales than Steam and put lots of games in sales each time.

They also have different games than Steam, some "smaller" games that could be interesting for some.
For me I went to them for a Paradox strategy game that Steam did not want on their platform.

Personally I check Impulse, Steam and GamersGate sales pretty often through that website that shows all of the sales in one place, you can find some good bargain sometimes smile.gif

Can't get the steam link you're referring to. unless its this? DoW - Platinum Which is $29.99 now.

If i had to choose, i'd tend to lean on a vendor that don't let me choose where i want to install my game! That's pretty much my beef on steam. Can't they just give us an option or something? It can be done but meh.. to go thru links and what nots for every game...

Forgot to put the link to that website that shows all sales: Here

Go to the second tab on top, shows Impulse, Steam, Direct Drive and GamersGate

Updated very very quickly, helped me not miss some good sales on non Steam platform before smile.gif

And yes, to be able to choose where you install the games is a good point in my opinion too.

It's not a DLC per se, as in sprite pack and such. It's a gameplay balance mod done by reputable HoI 3 modder sanctioned by Paradox. It will not appear in your dlc but as a mod in the mod section.

I've been enjoying HoI 3:SF quite a bit while outstation. Slow paced and crushing poland icon_idea.gif Though i have yet to scatch the surface with all the production/tech etc... just doing battles for nowheheh.

Nice, I did look at HoI3 yesterday but didnt see that one.
Seems interesting, much better than sprite pack really but would have expected this to be free though...
Vanilla game is quite lacking in faction specific units

Then you should get his I.C.E mod which is free. It defer from this DLC as it tries to be historically balanced.

Here are the goodies for common weapon DLC.

Thanks

Yar, I went to the paradox forums checking on this new "DLC" and found the reference to the ICE mod, guess I will go for this since it's free and at least it works with Steam version of HoI3 which I own.
Also the guy said he is not 100% sure the AI knows how to build and really use the new units which is a bit disapointing.
A lilttle imbalance never really bothered me, all countries had different "strenghts" in term of units anyway smile.gif

I think steam and gamers gate are evenly match in some way

Gamers Gate download the game like retail which mean can install on other drive instead lke steam which fixed on a drive

Gamers Gate will jammed ur purchase if fail attempt on 4th times for 24hours instead of steam 20-30min.

What bad about gamers gate is, it doesnt have community like steam.. so if u combine both = winrar!

not yet test the gift part though, might expand my business to gamersgate after i know more about it.

On a side note, GG also offers blue coin rewards for each purchase. These can be used to purchase games if u've got the right amount.
U can earn them by rating the games u've bought, writing reviews etc. Plus your membership status (white green black etc) can determine the amount of discount you get on certain games.

Heh... with the digital age we're in right now, password management is as vital as keeping your wallet secured. Email, Facebook, games with DRM such as StarCraft 2, office workstation... all these are non-DD related yet they still need passwords. biggrin.gif

Maybe you'll find password manager such as KeePass useful? Don't take me wrong though, I'm not in any way sanctioning KeePass as the best out there.

That might because there's people like me, for example, who prefer all the game to stick on one platform than Many many other platform.

Easier to keep track on our spending + games.

Not to mentioned Steam have that community friendly services.

Hope you don't take me as trying to argue or shove my points but GG is almost equivalent to a retail copy in the sense that you don't need to run a client nor require internet connection to play your game (unless there's DRM involved). How many times have we seen users going rage over Steam update / connection issue? biggrin.gif

ooooh gamers gate is download and install only oh, just like retail box, except no need put DVD inside DVD ROM oh.

no need run gamers gate client, like steam must run steam client etc.


hmmm well in that case if the deals are very very good then maybe i will consider hohoho.

but for certain games, say series, if already got on steam, then will buy on steam lor.

for example, i already got mount and blade on steam, so i buy warband on steam also lor.

Steam update issue is not entirely about Steam.
It's about our ISP problem. How come I can update and log in smoothly while the others cannot? I also Streamyx user what.

Same thing with Steam, you can play game on offline mode also. Just that in many millions of the Steam user, there's most likely 1% or less know about the offline modes.

Provided your Steam is up-to-date. Offline play is possible.

There's also a possibilities that U might ditch Retail box, if those game ever made it into DD platform in the future.

You got a point there. Well, for me whichever DD can provide me my desired game at lower price will get my moolah. biggrin.gif

I'm pretty OK with Steam but had a horrible experience with the CC declined issue during the last Summer Sale. Steam support wasn't very helpful when it comes to the duration required to get the issue resolved. While others may argue that it's a good anti-fraud mechanism, you can be pretty darned sure that it's a boon when the whole Steam forum was filled with customers going FFFFFUUUUU... due to the same issue. biggrin.gif

Joke aside. Steam refused to accept my CC, claiming that my bank put it on hold. Checked with bank, they didn't receive any transaction request from Steam at all. Support request to Steam took more than a day to unlock my account & after purchase another game, BAM! CC declined again. You can't imagine how much hair I'd pulled out. cry.gif

This cycle repeated for 3 times & when I checked the forum, HEY I'm not the only one with such issue. So confirmed it's Steam's problem. vmad.gif

hmmm technically you are correct. haha!

i was sick a day before i went to taiwan, got sore throat + fever, fever subsided on the flight day, at taiwan, i only got sore throat so i took great care of what i consumed over there hohoho.

oooh. i see.
yes, i can understand how you feel.

my steam account got blocked 2 times liao hohoho.



first time, was during xmas 2009, this one my problem since i think i bought too many region locked games.
2nd time, i think after summer sales 2010 since many people affected.

i did not realize it until i tried to buy game for people last week.
steam support was fast in unlocking my account though.
night time i send support ticket.
morning, unlocked liao.

And for steams Paradox sales.. their selections are waayy too limited compared to GG's offer.

I'm for one don't like to put everything to one, just me against monopoly biggrin.gif who ever gives better deals gets my vote. community/browser. etc etc those are small issues as compared to game selections and price. Consumer FTW!

And for steams Paradox sales.. their selections are waayy too limited compared to GG's offer.

like recently i brought Avatar for only USD9.95 at GG, which steam still stand at 49.99USD....

Only this steam and GG can match la

other like impulse, DD, and the rest is too region lock or whole year without interesting games offer.GoG not bad as well, but only offer oldies.

Thats my opinion la. I'm sure others have other opinion.
If the case like bioshock at GG is USD5 and steam is USD9.99, and he wan buy from steam because steam better, that i got nothing to say.

Could be several reasons:

1. He does not want to open another DD account
2. His Bioshock 2 is on Steam
3. He prefers the delivery from Steam.

and etc.

Not everyone makes a decision based on price.

Similar to my case, Starcraft 2.

If I wanted to save money, I'll just get it from Battlenet for less than RM200 instead of buying retail copy from Deimos which is RM235 (including postage)

buying digital and retail is a differend thing. If i like the game a lot and i want to get it for collection and what not.. yes i'd do the same. It's just for those who are not in the know that there are other options rather than following the crowd that you must buy in steam brows.gif In any case, your money you do what you want with it whistling.gif

ahh... it's going to be a good weekend. CMSF for modern tactical sim war.. Steel Fury/AP for my WW2 tank fix, HoI3:SF for the general in me... Good times, good times.

Nice game.

Hard to find from retail.

Fortunately, mine cost around RM20 or so.

Got it as a gift from LowYat Forumer and got the expansion from youbeli when it was on sale, I think it's like RM10 or so.

Yea, most shops don't restock on these old games since the probability of someone looking for them is pretty low.

Guys, just FYI:
Paradox Sale ends on 27 July.
Platformer Week ends on 25 July.
Summer fun with Ubisoft ends on 31 July.
Both Heroes of Might & Magic 5 Gold & Silver Editions (50% discount) ends on 25 July.
Neverwinter Nights 2 Gold Bundle (50% discount) ends on 25 July.

Impulse & GamersGate Demand Respect

user posted image
QUOTE
Some people aren’t at all happy about those NPD charts  listing the most successful digital distribution services. Those people being, specifically, the bosses of two of the biggest services, which rather oddly didn’t make the top five – it instead being dominated by Valve, EA, Blizzard and Direct2Drive. Impulse and Gamersgate think something is rotten in the state of down-chart….

Big Download – which is one of those names I feel I would have to bellow in a deep voice whenever spoken aloud – did the digging, eliciting comments from important, but upset men:

Brad Wardell, Stardock/Impulse boss: “NPD’s numbers on digital don’t tend to have much reflection on reality. As much as I would love digital distribution to take over the world, I can’t think of a single publisher (including ourselves) that sells even close to a majority of its units digitally. I am a big believer in the future of digital distribution but the numbers we typically hear from publishers is that it’s about a third (which is pretty darn good, by the way).”

CEO Theodore Bergquist of Gamersgate: “We did read the report and were actually quite surprised. We do not disclose our sales numbers and we were also not contacted during the research period of this study. That being said, from our numbers and most importantly our conversations with the leading publishers in the industry, I know we are easily one of the top retailers.”

It’s an odd’un. NPD aren’t exactly greenhorns when it comes to stat-gathering, but then again they’ve been incredibly slow to encompass digital sales in their methodology, plus there’s no way in hell they have access to Valve or Blizzard’s sales figures. Then again, neither do Stardock or Gamersgate.

In retrospect, NPD should have included sales from Impulse and Gamer's Gate.

Actually I wondered where they would have gotten the data yar, because for sure as hell Blizzard is not giving their's for sure

Steam I could see them doing it since they are pretty much the leader.

But if Gamersgate is saying they did not get contacted I do not see where they got their data really....

One thing to note though is that IIRC the numbers showed were only for US, that could skew the results quite a bit as other platforms might be bigger in Europe/Asia or whatever.

I just went through the FAQ,

•Patches

To patch your game you will need a patch for a digital version of the game. A patch for a disc version will not work. We are trying to always have the latest patches availible in the My Games section but if you think there is a patch missing, please contact us about it and we will acquire it from the developers.


•Please insert CD/DVD in drive C:

This problem may be due to...

1.You have got a demo of the game installed. Make sure you uninstall the demo before installing the full game.

2. You have patched the game with a patch for the disc version of the game. You must use a patch for a digital version of the game. If you cant find such patch on the official web sit or at the My Games section at GamersGate, please provide us the patch number and we will ask the developers about it.

3. Sometimes the "Run" option in Windows will not work. Download the file and double click it intead.



If you need assistance, you can send an email to support@gamersgate.com and you will be helped promptly.

None of the DD services have any obligation to give out this data since none of them are public listed companies (Even then, no one will know if its correct). Hence the reason its a pretty useless "survey".

Nowadays, most game patches works with all digitally downloaded games unless stated by DDs. For instance, il2/Steel fury/Achtung panzers for me, downloaded patch from game dev works. One thing kinda pisses me are highly modded games on steam. It's a pain to have a game with differend versions/mods e.g IL2. differend folders. 1 folder for SP, 1 for MP and 1 for mod testing and such.

For Achtung I read notes saying it was quite recommended to get it from the DD you bought it, so well, it might work but might be safer to get it from the right website.

Kinda slow in replying but yeah, as mentioned by Gormaz, you're recommended to download patches from GG directly. If you noticed certain patch is not available in GG (but released in game developer's website), you can alert GG about it & allow them some time to get it done. smile.gif

last time The Witcher got discount on Steam, tagged $6.78 but then it jacked up to $13 after two days. I'm pretty sure it was not a daily special.

To be honest, thats why i never bother with other DDs.

They have a lot of deals that is much better than Steam, but most if not all are region locked.

I remembered that Impulse had a very good deal with Mass Effect 1 and 2 combo pack. Then, D2D had a 29.99 USD offer for BFBC2 like 3 months ago. I remember those 2 very well because they were damn good deals, but i cant buy it.

Nahh, it's the same. Still remember the last Summer Sale when everyone is going rage for not being able to purchase GTA 4 due to Steam region-locking it? rolleyes.gif

To be honest too, I rarely see GG implementing region-lock & I've to admit that I'm kinda surprised that with this latest development. Time to tweet them to see if it was a directive from the publisher or dev. rclxub.gif

At least Steam only locks a few of their games, compare to stores like Impulse where most of their non Stardock games are all locked.

Gamersgate never really have anything i want.

That's pretty much my policy too, if the difference is very small though (few USD), I will get it on Steam for convenience though.

GG has some less known game so I can understand they do not attract to lots of people (I also only interested in few games on GG too)

You can always separate them into another partition. I believe prasys has listed out a brief list of steps to go about it. smile.gif

On another note, it has been confirmed that NWN 2 has been removed from the list of games for Summer Sale. According to GG:

Well, I can confirm it, I just bought Mass Effect2 for 14,97usd too from them.

I just found it on the main link to their sales: Summer Sales at GG

For info I am located in China so usually it's same "region" as Msia but sometimes it is different, not sure for GG really.

Just clarified with GG via Twitter. Only the US region has the 50% discount. Seems like accessing GG from China will automatically route you to the US region. whistling.gif

There should be no issue in playing the games because unlike Steam, there is no client involved. About downloading, as long as the games are registered under your account, they should be good to go but don't quote me on that. The reason I said so is due to the fact that GGTwitter specifically assured me that there will be no issue in making purchase of ME2 from the UK GG domain (50% cashback of blue coins).

I've tweeted them again to double confirm. Will get back to you once I got their response. smile.gif

the witcher still stands at 6.78, and i doubt they will remove ME2 before RPG week ends...
speaking of which, i doubt the rest of three weeks will be as attractive...should be FPS, racing and sport and RTS weeks to follow. none of them as sexy as RPG to me~

Not siding with any platforms & do correct me if I'm wrong but I think the reason The Witcher's price in Steam increased from $6.78 was due it being included in the daily special offer. Something like during the whole duration of Summer Sale, it was under 50% (example) & on a particular day, Steam decreased it further (like maybe 75%) for that day only.

Based on GG's tweets, I think next week is going to be RTS week.

Not siding with any platforms & do correct me if I'm wrong but I think the reason The Witcher's price in Steam increased from $6.78 was due it being included in the daily special offer. Something like during the whole duration of Summer Sale, it was under 50% (example) & on a particular day, Steam decreased it further (like maybe 75%) for that day only.

Yeah, that's 1 setback with GG. That's why it's good to spend some a few minutes reading up user reviews before making purchase.

This is understandable since GG is almost equivalent to retail version. Moreover, unlike Steam, GG doesn't involve a client, hence the need to include other kinds of DRM. Else, GG will be akin to safe haven for piracy. sad.gif

Digital Rights Management. It's some kind of methods / mechanisms that developers / distributors integrate into their games to prevent unauthorized sharing or piracy. Steam itself is a form of DRM since you have to be tie the game to your Steam account. If you play the new StarCraft 2, the fact that you have to log into Bnet is a form of DRM too.

However, for GG, even though DRM is applied, they can help you reactivate the games. smile.gif

Do you use SecuRom or any other protection on the games?
Yes, some games got some kind of protection. This is done according to the agreement with the developers and publishers. However, the activation limit that may be on this protection is easy reset by an email to support@gamersgate.com. Any game bought on GamersGate is yours to download and install as many times as you like.

You really should do your own homework, there're lots of reviews online since its like released in 2008 for saint row2.

UT3 versus Saint row 2 can't be made as its totally differend game. You have to decide which genre you like best.

For MP wise both a sparodic players on and off. but nothing like Tf3,bc2 MW2 that kind of popularity now.

UT3 Servers

Not sure about SR2... go search smile.gif

SR2 is an "okey" GTA-like game.

It's a bit old though so graphics and all arent topnotch but acceptable.

Story is quite alright with a bit some crazy moments, they do not exactly tell a "Serious" story, lots of crazy or 2nd degre stuff. It's also more mature than GTA with more offensive dialogs and actions, sexual reference etc.

Some people are having bugs with it too, personally I didnt except a bit of lag when driving (which everyone has, the engine is badly optimized)

europe 19.99 equivalent to $26. 43% still $26 sweat.gif steam without offer is $29. gamersgate havent realise bfbc2 having price drop from $49.99 to $29.99. i assume the price should be somewhere below $19.99 with price drop.

Crysis with 50% discount & tagged at $14.97.
Crysis Warhead with 50% discount & tagged at $9.97.

Not linking these games since they're in US region.

There are many reasons for region-locking games. Sometimes it got to do with local policies, developers' request or embargo related. Heck, what you mentioned there might be true as well. rclxub.gif

I've tweeted them to get confirmation if our region here will get no love. Waiting their reply.

Nope. Crysis & Crysis Warfare are the only 2 games newly introduced into the list. Currently in the US region GG, SummerSale list contains 32 games.

Seriously.. if you compare to SC2 and some other title. The price now is quite decent. I'm satisfied when i bought it for RM129 retail.. for these few months i had a lot of fun with it. 221 hours played and counting..

Considered money well spent for me.. even comparing some of the cheap games that i bought..

Bought Batman: Arkham Asylum and downloading now. Download speed is very slow @ 160kB/s only (Steam around 600kB/s, peak @ 1.4MB/s). But considering that I can install the game on different PCs and play at the same time, I think it's quite worth the price.

Men of War is sooooooo cheap, its not even funny (I almost feel sorry for the developers).
Hell, Total Annihilation is cheaper (And its older than Starcraft!)

Must be some sort of promo for their upcoming Assault Squad expansion.

When you arrive at this kind of price (2-3usd), half a usd does not matter that much really anyway.

I know about offline mode. Just that sometimes one can forget to do that everytime i switch off the pc. To go offline mode, i have to sign in online before i can change it. Unless i've been wrong all these while.

Nope, you can actually start in Offline mode even if you haven't signed in before hand. Steam has a "decay counter" so to speak that will kick in the moment you get disconnected. As long as this decay counter is still alive and kicking, you can still run it in Offline mode. Once it expires, it then disables Steam completely until you get online again.

Now, the big question that everyone is wondering, is how long does this decay counter last (Some say its 2 weeks, some say 6 months) and in some cases, how it can sometimes get deactivated (Like hardware changes, etc.)

Yeah, I know, but its not 100% (Like all Valve games can't work like this and certain Steamworks games as well), so I didn't want to mention it since I'm not too sure about the exceptions list.

works for GTA4 and GTA EFLC though.

run the launcher.

for other games, if you run the .exe file, it will launch via steam too.

unless you make a copy of the original .exe file and use a burung pipit exe file to run it.

I think GG has faster download due to its small file, why is that?

GG download the installer file instead of the game file which already compressed, which also mean smaller in size. While steam download the game file instead of the installer, which is bigger.

just my 2cent. I beginning to like GG biggrin.gif

Do a comparison between H.A.W.X. 2 in GG & Steam. In GG, the price is $69.90 & it needs 29% discount to even it with the price offered by Steam. I'm kind of curious who's the real culprit here. tongue.gif

EDIT: Apparently 1 of the guys that I introduced to GG failed to get his Saints Row 2 installed properly. sad.gif

Do a comparison between H.A.W.X. 2 in GG & Steam. In GG, the price is $69.90 & it needs 29% discount to even it with the price offered by Steam. I'm kind of curious who's the real culprit here. tongue.gif

EDIT: Apparently 1 of the guys that I introduced to GG failed to get his Saints Row 2 installed properly. sad.gif

any idea why?
i have no problem installing games
submit any ticket to GG or try redownload?
actually, for single player games, i prefer GG
as long as it does not require massive patching...

I've also never encountered any issue with GG so far, except the outdated pricing.

He has redownloaded 3 times & 1 of the files kept getting corrupted. He has submitted support to GG's Game Tutor, so just have to see if someone can assist him as I didn't purchase Saints Row 2 myself. sad.gif

Hmm... that could be 1 of the reason, though I was under the assumption that even the worst antivirus will usually prompt the user first prior to deleting or quarantining any file. hmm.gif

if u activated on steam, then the file will be differently downloaded, like i mention earlier, GG download installer while Steam download game files directly.

Hard so say, if u face prob like this, recomended you check for your antivirus history see if they auto delete. mostly antivirus auto delete the file infected by virus without asking but will giv u a short notice, u probably will miss it if u AFk

Just to pipe in I also using Kasperky 2010 and I never had issue with GG download so far, it does check on the executable when it first run but that's normal stuff.
So well, I cannot say it wasnt this, just that usually Kaspersky ask you before doing anything, depends how you configure it also.

Erm... if it's the same issue even in Steam, I think it's either the game repository is corrupted or something else. Do you have any other computer that you can try on, preferably with different OS? hmm.gif

Now i have second thought of GamersGate

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.

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.

2. Not trying to defend GG or anything but apparently SR2 in Steam received lotsa rants too. sad.gif Still it's not something to look forward to from GG. sad.gif

EDIT: On another note, are you gonna try submit a ticket to inquire about the Men of War multiplayer issue?

On point 1, that is actually Steam's failing since you don't have the option to downgrade your game version (Unless you do a backup beforehand, but that's way too tedious) and in some cases Steam may take their own sweet time to upgrade (Like what happened with EVE Online and one of the STALKER games)...

My point is, that is a failing with ALL DD services (The ones that have some form of DRM at least). Can't really put the blame solely on Gamersgate or Steam really as version mismatches do happen.

most patches work fine with digital version...only some with DRM issue tat may provoke the problem
on patches note, steam certainly did a better job, or more fulfilling job, as automatically patch ur game to the latest. of course, sometimes it takes time
on gamersgate, if the game developer dont care, basically any patches release is good for the copy..

Well, Men of War is a special case since it's the publisher of the game that do not exactly care about the English version of the game support, they are from Eastern Europe and apparently don't really care about providing the DD services with quick patches.

And until recently it was Steam that was lagging behind in the MoW patches meaning Steam users could only play with other Steam users while other DD users could play with anyone.

Personally I say GG is usually as good as Steam or bit better for most games and excellent for any Paradox published games, seems they have some close ties with Paradox and usually get patches faster than other DD, including Steam.

For SR2, I have no idea really, I got the Steam one, which still had some bugs and bad framerates sometimes too, the pc version of the game was quite a bad port really.
Go take a look at SR2 Steam forums and you will see it's not a GG-only problem ^^

From what i know. Steam has been behind in releasing MoW patch which is 1.11.3? While rest of the world gets 1.17.5 and 1.17.5.1(hotfix). Oh. this was about a couple of weeks ago i think MoW steam is 1.17.5 now?

Yes, Steam only pushed the 1.17.5 like 1-2 months ago, was a long time after other DDs. They said 1C didnt provide them with the patch but it's quite weird other DD got it but not Steam.

Steam has something similar to Microsoft's "Digital Signing Certification" process which means they MUST test the patches beforehand and ensure that it meets a certain standard before allowing it to be updated. Hence the delay.

Its a double edged sword though. Yes, you get patches that don't break the game, but that also means the patches take awhile to come in.

While I agree on the process, here it wasnt just this since Steam was saying they didnt get the patch from 1C yet, wasnt just a bit of delay either but like a few months.

And not seeing the patch on the English 1C site is not really surprising me much, the site feels pretty much abandoned...

I am not preaching GG really, it's just that in this the issue wasnt really with Steam or GG, was more with 1C apparently, MoW is a special case.
Some games are better handled in GG, some better in Steam really.

GG or steam can put pressure on 1C for the patch wad. Since they are the only one can reach 1C directly.

Gamersgate is owned by Paradox Interactive which has really good ties with 1C (Seeing as they're both east European publishers). That's probably why GG has better service with this game (Which we'll probably see with The Witcher 2 as well).

It's not GG's fault. MoW has so many third party companies dealing with it. Aspyr, DMS, Best way, 505 games, 1C and many different versions. Different companies do patches for different version. It took nearly half a year(or maybe more) for them to update the steam version. WHose fault? I dont know...DMS claims its miscommunication. As for GG pressuring them, lets just say that the Steam version is probably the one with the most user base for MoW since Steam had this game on sale very very early. User base grown quite big. And even with that you get miscommunication.

From my experience, if you want to buy multiplayer games, its better to buy from the ones your friends bought from. To avoid slow patching process etc. Even if the game uses gamespy or whatever often times patches are not rolled out at the same time across the board.

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. rclxm9.gif

The guy was a bit of a d*** though, but yar, it was good form from GG to accept the refund.

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.

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. biggrin.gif

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. biggrin.gif I still love both platforms but GG has been impressing me greatly since the day I started using them. cool.gif

Well, we will have to agree on disagreeing then since I personally do not think it's a good thing to be able to get faster replies from something like Twitter than by using their normal customer support system on their own website, that's just not how it should be in a proper corporate system.

I agree it's a good thing they are present on facebook and twitter, but when the difference in getting a reply is between few minutes on Twitter and 2 days through their customer system, I feel they are not putting the priorities where they should.

I like GG so far and I am touching wood I didnt have to contact their customer system yet so I am just being my usual "I like to complain"-self

that guy is not a good customer. sweat.gif

regarding refunds on steam, it is only possible for pre orders. and have good reasons.

for example, i pre purchased APB all point bulletin for someone.

then he realized cannot play on the server, ip lock, etc.

i sent support ticket to steam asking for refund.

they return the money back to my credit card.

The thing is, while the customer was a bit of a jackass, I kinda understand why GG had to "succumb" to it like that.

Steam is the defacto DD service... No doubt about it. Stardock & D2D may beg to differ but I seriously think they have close to 50% of the online DD market share. That being said, Steam is far more "corporate" than the other DD services in terms of how they treat their customers (Perfectly acceptable since their userbase is so huge).

Basically, every other service has to be what Steam isn't (Because they sure as hell aren't going to "replace" Steam) and since that asshat customer was hellbent on hating GG because of this CD-key delay (Which Steam also periodically has), the customer support dude had no choice BUT to acquiesce to the fellas demands. At the very least, even though they lost a customer, that guy will at least extol the ability to claim refunds on games you're not happy with (Which Steam doesn't really allow).

Funny how this "refund" issue pops up so soon after the whole Elemental/Stardock debacle yesterday (Where a few ppl were claiming refunds on an "unfinished" game)

Yar, I can totally see GG thinking this too, which in a way is pretty smart business practice.

Thing with steam is that they have so far enforced the "no refund" rules quite tightly (again, except for pre-order which i think is fine really, you havent used the key or product yet).
But if they ever did give refund after release for some reason, it's the open door to have their policy totally gone since people will just go the "but for XXX game in YYY situation they got a refund so I want one now too"
Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

But that guy really was like trying to make GG says "sorry, we can't do that" and kept trying to find new excuses to complain and ask for more until he got his refund and couldnt find a reason to complain anymore...

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.

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. sad.gif

Still, some of us can get these games so I'll update this thread on daily basis for each day to come. smile.gif

Well, we can't expect every DD platforms to match each others' offer all the time right? biggrin.gif

There will always be some games that are cheaper & some games more expensive for all DD platforms.

Good find there! BFBC2 is scheduled to be in the 50% offer bin tomorrow (http://www.geardiary.com/2010/09/09/gear-g...ls-all-weekend/). However, I seem to recall that some games in GG cost double the price in Steam due to price revision by Steam. I sincerely hope that BFBC2 is not one of them but still, I would advise you to keep your expectation low. sad.gif

And the weird thing is, I can't even find BFBC2 in their list of games at the moment. Bummer...

I hate to disappoint you but the EA Week promotion is only applicable to the US region. sad.gif

Anyway, let's see how it is tomorrow. The link that I provided there is an external website anyway so I'm not sure if we should trust it 100% smile.gif

Hrm? Sorry but didn't really catch you there.

Well, I tried to search for BFBC2 in the US region but found nothing. Only the BFBC2 guide. Exactly the same as our region.

But there's a BFBC2 UK in the UK domain like what you found. Alas, the EA Week promotion only applies to the US region so I don't think we'll be seeing a 50% discount for BFBC2 UK.

Erm... nope. The GG promotion differs between UK & US region. For this EA Week, it's only applicable to the US region. Lemme try to trace back the twit that I had with GG Twitter Angie.

Oh, I can get you region locked games, no issue with that. smile.gif

OK, I managed to locate the post where we both found out that GG was slow in revising the price for BFBC2:
QUOTE(Mr.Beanster @ Aug 11 2010, 06:35 PM)
europe 19.99 equivalent to $26. 43% still $26  sweat.gif steam without offer is $29. gamersgate havent realise bfbc2 having price drop from $49.99 to $29.99. i assume the price should be somewhere below $19.99 with price drop.

And, guess what? GG must have been alerted since the normal price for BFBC2 is now $29.95! rclxm9.gif We'll see about it tomorrow!

Football Manager 2011 pre-order with 20% discount ($39.95)! Take a look at all those massive games that come bundled along! I'm kinda skeptical so I've dropped GG a twit about it. Let's hope that there's no error.

They are all Atari/Megadrive time games (some awesome ones actually) so I could believe it, but still lots of them.
And I didnt even know GG handled old games like these

The only fail part would be the region lock issue, which is actually more on EA's fault. sad.gif

The rest is more or less similar to other DDs.

The good news is that the region lock isn't as strict as Steam's. smile.gif

You have 2 systems right? Perhaps you wanna try on the other system? Kinda weird that you've been having issues with GG games for many times now. hmm.gif

At which part did the game crash? Halfway while playing? You had a HD5770 IIRC. There are quite a number of driver updates been made available recently, you might wanna check them out.

On the other hand, my HD5750 has been crashing my SC2 a couple times too, but not to the point of pulling out my hairs as of now. tongue.gif

Another thing, try checking your My Games menu to see if there's any patches available.

Here's a compilation of known issue for BFBC2: http://www.gamingnewslink.com/2010/03/08/f...d-steam-errors/

Something worth reading about Paradox's stance on DRM. Plus a look on the up & coming Paradox Achievements. Why is it that these days all games are all about achievements (Steam, StarCraft 2 & now Paradox Connect)?

Yes, i too sometime falls into the achievement trap of steam lol. It's fun especially in a coop game with frens when you strive to achieve a certain target together.

I don't really care if its just me. But if i have a game that my friends have? It's an incentive.

There was a fun session of treasure hunt held by GG Twitter last evening. Basically, they gave a clue on a particular game (such as the cover box picture) where they've inserted a treasure chest image & we were supposed to hunt for that game in GG, click the treasure chest & input the code given to claim free games.

A total of 9 treasure chests were released & yeah, I won nuts but it was definitely exciting. rclxm9.gif

I kinda like it tho it's quite simple at my stage. I'm around 1.5 mission. Pity it has only 4 equipment slots. But with editors and modding ability, it could do good.

I'm having bad connection right now so can't really check out gamersgate.co.uk. However, based on experience, you still can login & purchase games from the .co.uk domain without any issue.

Ahh... don't get fooled. The games' price are not standardized on all DD platforms. FM2011 is a good example.

GamersGate's version states that they offer it with 55% & currently tagged at $39.95.
Steam's version doesn't state any discount but look at the price: $39.99 with the same bonus of 20 classic SEGA games as offered by GamersGate.

Nope. You can transfer the installation file to another PC. Refer to the FAQ as quoted below:
QUOTE
Can i download a game on one computer and install it on another one?
Yes, you can.
1) Copy the download file and the temp folder as they are located near each other
2) Paste on another computer that has connection to the internet
3) Run the download file and fill in the login/password if necessary
4) The installation process will start automatically, if the temporary folder is in place, since it will find the install files.
NOTE: Internet connection is required for performing the installation process. Installation cannot be made manually. It is done automatically and it requires internet connection to be performed properly.

It's a problem that many people in the EA forum were raging about. sad.gif Since you have 2 computers, can you try installing the game into the computer that you downloaded the file?

Or if you must install it on the other system, try removing 1 piece of your RAM (leave it as 2GB only) & retry the installation. That's 1 of the workaround that you can try. Else, I'm afraid that recompiling the cabinet files is the next step.

Yar, I quite like it so far too, bought few games from there (including ME2 and Uprising which were on great offers).
Speed is pretty ok and I kinda like their blue coins system, at least you get something back when you buy from them.

And you get a small amount of your buy in blue coins.

I personally have now about 15usd worth of blue coins by buying games on sales, I consider this win-win situation.
Like RA3 Uprising had a special offer a while back, it was at 15pounds but you could get back 75% back as blue coins so the game itself cost me only 3-4pounds.

Not sure how you mean it?

1) For example a game is usually sold at 50usd but somehow is discounted at 10usd.
If you buy it at 50usd the percentage of blue coins you get is based on 50usd.
If you buy it at 10usd, the percentage of blue coins you get is based on 10usd (so no getting the 50usd blue coins percentage for a 10usd buy)

2) If you meant that if a game is usually sold at 50usd but is now at 10usd and you have 15 usd blue coins equivalent, you can use your blue coins to buy it at 10usd without issue yes

One restriction I know about blue coins is that if you pay with them, you have to have the whole amount available in blue coins.
So you can't use blue coins to top off a cash purchase or use cash to top off a blue coins purchase

Still better than nothing really, I buy usually without thinking about the blue coins systems and it does sometimes let me buy small or heavily discounted games.


After checking you get 5% of the amount you buy on the site added to your Blue Coins.
And you get a bit more Blue Coins when rating, reviewing game etc.

Some games also have some special offers on Blue Coins (like Uprising had when i bought it), pre-orders also have sometimes etc.

To be frank, sometimes GG use the Blue Coins system as a temporary workaround to allow you to get games that are under region-locked promotion. However, it seems like the publishers somehow knew about it & we no longer see the same method being used. sad.gif

1) For example a game is usually sold at 50usd but somehow is discounted at 10usd.
If you buy it at 50usd the percentage of blue coins you get is based on 50usd.
If you buy it at 10usd, the percentage of blue coins you get is based on 10usd (so no getting the 50usd blue coins percentage for a 10usd buy)

2) If you meant that if a game is usually sold at 50usd but is now at 10usd and you have 15 usd blue coins equivalent, you can use your blue coins to buy it at 10usd without issue yes

One restriction I know about blue coins is that if you pay with them, you have to have the whole amount available in blue coins.
So you can't use blue coins to top off a cash purchase or use cash to top off a blue coins purchase

Still better than nothing really, I buy usually without thinking about the blue coins systems and it does sometimes let me buy small or heavily discounted games.
After checking you get 5% of the amount you buy on the site added to your Blue Coins.
And you get a bit more Blue Coins when rating, reviewing game etc.

Some games also have some special offers on Blue Coins (like Uprising had when i bought it), pre-orders also have sometimes etc.

Oh ok, that explains it.

I initially thought that blue coins were sort of like credit card points or something.

Just look at them as an equivalent to those Tesco cards; whenever you buy a game, a small percentage of points is accumulated & you can exchange the points for a game or two once you have collected enough.

Good deal on Dungeon defenders because that 4 packs includes 10% discounts.

With full price if they count 10% off it with 4x $9.99 each. It's only $4 discount. With this 4 packs we're actually getting about 40% discount! Someone start a 4 pack! i want in! biggrin.gif

Even tempted with SF4 too!

If you mean gifting in normal scenario, then simply click on the Gift this game button when you browse to that game's page.

If you're asking about how to send the other copies out from these 4-packs, I've no chance to try yet. I think it should be the same as normal scenario if you didn't input the gift recipient email address: Login > My Account > Order History.

Nope, Vista... Plus I know why. The original TA used redbook audio (Normal audio CD format) for the music, which I'm guessing was not ported together with this release. Basically, its a quick, cheap rehash for digital distribution.

No sound? Wow that sounds pretty bad. I really loved the OST by Jeremy Soule in the game, especially the battle music. It had this Star Wars feel with lots of energy behind it.

Game mechanics similar but i would say CIV 5 is easier compared to EU3 which is comparable to Hearts of Iron 3 series. The learning curve can be quite daunting. Just because it has so many more options. EU 3 have limited timeline as well.. from 12th century to oh.. 19th? You need the DLCs tho.

I prefer WW2 ala Hearts of Iron 3 series myself. If you're familiar with Paradox's games, you'd sit right in with EU3. the way i can put it is, if you think CIV5 is too easy, then EU3/Hoi3 suits you.

Yar, as ashx said: "It's a paradox game".

If that does not mean anything to you, it's nothing much like Civilization, it's a much more complex country simulation with lots more numbers and things to manage.

Some people love them (I would say Paradox may be my favorite game studio at the moment) but it can feel very dry to many people and the learning curve is tough yes.

URGENT! Anyone interested to get a game from GamersGate today? I'm looking to get 2 or 3 games (BioShock, Recettear & Dead Space) & since there's a BUY-4-PAY-3 promotion going on, I was thinking if there's anyone who wanna join & we'll split the bill cleanly. It's a win-win so yeah, just drop me a PM or write something here as a follow up.

The Holiday Gift Guide Week 2 expires tonight so make it fast! notworthy.gif


Forget it, decided to get just BioShock alone. sweat.gif

Hmm, how would you be splitting the bill since only the cheapest game will get a 100% discount?
