Does anyone know if this game on Steam is the CE? I certainly have enough points to purchase of BFG but don't want to take the chance that I can't play and don't want to purchase twice. Thanks for your help.

Does anyone know if this game on Steam is the CE? I certainly have enough points to purchase of BFG but don't want to take the chance that I can't play and don't want to purchase twice. Thanks for your help. I searched all over the place including in the Steam Community Hub and couldn't find the answer. I've got it on Steam so opened the game. Extras brings this screen up: But none of the interactive things are bonus gameplay. They're music, achievements, cut scenes, pictures, two areas that look like collectables and some kind of quiz. Nothing is mentioned in any of the reviews at Steam.
pennmom , says in her review at BFSo, to sum it up, I have no idea whether it's the collector's edition or not. I hope so since I own it at Steam.
ETA: I decided to download the CE demo at BF. Then I can compare them.
ETA#2: The BF CE version looks exactly the same. It has NO bonus gameplay in the Extras. So I don't know if the bonus pops up automatically after you've played the main game or not. So I still don't know if the Steam edition is a CE or not. Sorry, good2bqueen, I'm not much help.

The bf ce just has the Bonus Chapter & SG extra all the collectible gems and extras are in the SE. If you go to BF and read my SE review I put all the differences BUT I did not check the steam version to see if there is a Hint button that shows you what to do next. It could be like My Brother Rabbit where the Steam version didn't have a hint button???? good2bqueen, try downloading a game from BF that you know you own already. After downloading the trial demo go ahead and play it long enough to bring up the Exit button. When the game exits it should tell you how much time is left on the demo, look past that part towards the bottom left side and you should see a very small "RE-activate tab. Click it and see if the full game downloads This works for me now, the problem I have is that I played the full demo of both the CE & SE versions so there is no way to prompt this reactivation button because I can't enter the demo! but it should allow you to get to purchased games that still have time left on the demo!

good2bqueen, I think, the Steam is the CE version of the game (judging by the price and that there are no DLCs are offered) - but if you have a chance to obtain it for points on BFG, I would go with that option, since the Steam version is not on sale right now. Also, out of the 6 reviewers, 4 of them are NOT recommending this game on Steam due to some bugs - but the developers let out some bug fixes, so those issues are maybe already fixed.

Correct me if I am wrong here but as far as I can see there is only one profile so will have to lose my progress and start completely from the beginning?

cyril50, well I am not pressing 'new game' for you to find out LOL LOL. But yes I think there is only one profile at a time. Why do you want to start again? I am enjoying it..but nearly every move is 'hint' driven with me ...hopeless at these adventure games! And I cant tell you how long I spent on the little button turning the rune to the right position..(hadn't realised there was a guide Missed My Beer)..so finally got out of there by looking at the position of the outside bars... Rolling Along Onward ho wagons...

Does the conductor remind anyone else of Snidely Whiplash. Is anyone else old enough to remember Dudley Do-right and Rocket J Squirrel Cheesing

I just started playing the Steam version and I got confused because it started me out where I had left off on the SE trial version at BFG. This answers a few questions we have had but also brings up new questions: The Steam version HAS to be the SE version because it did not start where I left off when I played the CE trial demo from BFG I have never noticed this on other games so I'm wondering if they tied together because I added BF games to my library or do they always recognize the same game if they have been played on the same computer? Here is a screenshot showing my Steam gm only playing for 3 minutes even though I started out in the 2nd or 3rd scene on the train.

joybelle, I just made it to the crying hippo...I know you hate puzzles but I LOVED the puzzles in the scene to get to the hippo. The only one I had trouble with was placing the wire plugs {Spoiler} I couldn't see a big difference between the two circles, one of which did not look like it had a bullseye!

Played about 90 minutes and like it so far. Glad I went to options and saw the help button and got some idea of the game play first. Nice to play something different from regular hopas.

love the game but whenever I use an item from inventory incorrectly it flickers and disappears and game freezes then I have to get task manager but fortunately when I re-enter the game it oicks up with item intact. Guess I need to stop guessing incorrectly DUH

I have never noticed this on other games so I'm wondering if they tied together because I added BF games to my library or do they always recognize the same game if they have been played on the same computer? Once, I played a CE demo on BF but then bought the SE from Steam and it does pick up from where I left off. It recognises that the game has been installed on your computer as a lot of CE games are just the SE with bits added on. The bones of the game are the same. This enables me to play 2 hours of demos when the game comes out on iwin and BF at about the same time.

It seems the achievements don't boil over so I've only earned 2 achievements
