Purkake Posted September 17, 2010 Posted September 17, 2010 It's quite a bit less bloated now that they changed from IE to Webkit, but haters gonna hate etc.
Calax Posted September 17, 2010 Author Posted September 17, 2010 The Monkey Island series (the new ones) are on sale for 750 right now. Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition! Kevin Butler will awesome your face off.
taviow Posted September 17, 2010 Posted September 17, 2010 I've got Windows 7 x64 Professional and KotOR works fine out of the box (at least I don't remember doing any tweaking). Sure, NOW you tell me when the price has doubled. Thanks for the feedback though. Yeah, it just works. I'm quite sure it will be on sale again during the holidays though. Why wouldn't it be after all?
Zoraptor Posted September 17, 2010 Posted September 17, 2010 KOTOR's compatibility seems to get broken by video card drivers having poor legacy openGL support more than operating system (but so far as I know both major manufacturers have fixed their issues with it now)
Enoch Posted September 17, 2010 Posted September 17, 2010 (edited) My problem running KotOR2 on Vistax32 was that I could never get the sound to work at all. Tried every trick I could find, and no dice. (Although I think the problem was more with the driver for my mobo-onboard sound.) The sale on the MI remakes is tempting. Even if it's just something to entertain me until I get my hands on Civ V... Edited September 17, 2010 by Enoch

I'm sure nothing I tell you will change your mind though.

Calax Posted September 18, 2010 Author Posted September 18, 2010 ok, so the monkey island on sale isn't the Tales stuff... (the stuff from the past few years). It's "Secret of Monkey Island" and "Monkey Island 2"... the 90's LA adventures! Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition! Kevin Butler will awesome your face off.
Tale Posted September 18, 2010 Posted September 18, 2010 (edited) 50% off, lol. If you pre-ordered Secret 2, it came with Secret 1. Heck, I've still got a gift copy of 1. Edit: Oh, hey, the bundle has a natural discount. So that is cheaper than what I paid back in the day.

TheHarlequin Posted September 18, 2010 Posted September 18, 2010 Because some people would rather not waste money just to 'keep up' with whatever tech calendar Wired and such have set... yeah, we're poor Actually, I've lived on a 'computer lag time' most of my gaming life and I have to say it's not that bad. It sort of helps you become a gamer that doesn't wait like a drooling dog for the latest hyper-graphics release, you take your time and get to appreciate all kinds of good games... You do realize x64 isn't a fad but necessary right? And the cost of x32 and x64 win7 is the same... So I fail to make sense of either of your arguments.

Enoch Posted September 18, 2010 Posted September 18, 2010 OK, I bought the MI dual-pack. They've been on my "I should play them someday" list for a while now, so at $7.50 for the pair, I figured this was a good opportunity. I missed out on most of the LucasArts adventure games back in the day (although I played a lot of their Sierra competitors), and based on their reputation, I have always regretted doing so. Of course, whatever game I start playing now is doomed to be dropped (at least for a while) when Civ V falls in my lap. But sales don't always come at convenient times.
Tigranes Posted September 18, 2010 Posted September 18, 2010 It is the future but why is it 'necessary' now? Something I don't know? The cost of the computer (processor), not the Windows. Although, checking now, even mine is 64-bit capable - heh, I didn't know that.

Although, checking now, even mine is 64-bit capable - heh, I didn't know that. well 32bit cant see more then 3.5gigs of memory. So yea.. kinda needed on that level. Considering 4gig chips are cheap and most modern systems that's standard. And you cant even buy 32 only bit CPUs anymore for the most part... haven't been able for years now. I seems to me your apprehension to it clearly is lack of knowledge on the topic.

mr insomniac Posted November 25, 2010 Posted November 25, 2010 Kane and Lynch 2: Dog Days is on sale today for $5. I was intrigued by the first one but ultimately passed on it. This one looks like good mindless fun. Has anyone here tried it? I took this job because I thought you were just a legend. Just a story. A story to scare little kids. But you're the real deal. The demon who dares to challenge God. So what the hell do you want? Don't seem to me like you're out to make this stinkin' world a better place. Why you gotta kill all my men? Why you gotta kill me? Nothing personal. It's just revenge.
Deraldin Posted November 25, 2010 Posted November 25, 2010 Uh... Deus Ex 1 is 11.99... for 8 COPIES! So, who around here hasn't played Deus Ex yet?
PoetAndMadman Posted November 25, 2010 Posted November 25, 2010 If anyone here will be buying Puzzle Quest 2 10pack I will gladly pay my 3 euro for the game.
SadExchange Posted November 25, 2010 Posted November 25, 2010 Uh... Deus Ex 1 is 11.99... for 8 COPIES! So, who around here hasn't played Deus Ex yet? To be honest, I haven't which is odd because I've always have been meaning to do so.
