Nepenthe Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 (edited) The Mac store is still pretty sad, though. I wonder if they'll get something in the way of back catalogue.

Nemo0071 Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 (edited) The Mac store is still pretty sad, though. I wonder if they'll get something in the way of back catalogue. Didn't check the Mac Store, but I saw their "Steamplay" (Mac + Windows) logo on many games now (most of them indie titles, granted). It's still fairly new, give it some time. Oh, of course it depends mostly on devs/publishers rather than Valve/Steam.

WorstUsernameEver Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 So, does RE5 PC deserve a playthrough? I'm almost tempted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadly_Nightshade Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 So, does RE5 PC deserve a playthrough?I'm almost tempted. It's not a bad game, but it's not a great game either. Still, if you liked RE4 it's worth a try (and the port wasn't bad this time). "Geez. It's like we lost some sort of bet and ended up saddled with a bunch of terrible new posters on this forum." -Hurlshot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, if you liked RE4 it's worth a try (and the port wasn't bad this time). Never played RE4. I played like... 10 minutes of RE2 (it was a 'present' and the disc were scratched too ), but as far as I know from 4 onward they changed the gameplay radically.. in the end I just decided to grab Gothic 2 Gold and Gothic 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morgoth Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 Remember, RE5 is not a survival horror game like RE1/2, it's just an action game. Rain makes everything better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WorstUsernameEver Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 Remember, RE5 is not a survival horror game like RE1/2, it's just an action game. And that wouldn't be so bad with me, considering it's been a lot of time I played a decent action-adventure game (read : not another testosterone filler cover-based shooter). But to be honest, I don't want to dump too much money with this Steam sales, it's too easy to just go 'ooh this costs so little! I'll grab it!' and end up with spending a hundred bucks.

I'll grab it!' and end up with spending a hundred bucks. Actually I intend to spend about a hundred bucks this sale. BTW I just grabbed GTA Episodes from Liberty City (again, at the very last minute) for 15 USD. I suspect the "daily special sales" stay the same way after the supposed "time's up gentlemen" moment. I'll confirm in a minute or five. Confirmation Edit: Ok, that was NOT the case. Interestingly, GTA EFLC is now 25% off (instead of 50%). It was full price just before the sale began... Hmm...

Azure79 Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 I was thinking of picking up Assassin's Creed 2 and PoP Forgotten Sand, but remembered the stupid DRM. Is that still in place for steam versions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walsingham Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 I just bought Witcher director's cut for four quid. Can't play the bastard on my poor old machine, but too good to miss. "It wasn't lies.

Purkake Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 You can get a 14(or is it 21 now?) day trial of EVE for free, it has all the features of the paid game and you can start a new trial any time you want. I highly recommend everyone who hasn't played Max Payne yet, to get it and play through both games. It's a pretty cool experience with story and everything.

I didn't know about Black Mesa Source, just checked it out, I thought HL:S would look something like this. I guess I was wrong... ^ Before posting this I watched some HL:S videos.
