Nepenthe Posted December 28, 2010 Posted December 28, 2010 Pretty sure it didn't have ANY Atari games. No, they were there - Riddick, The Witcher, etc. are all published by Atari. Still, it's nice that it's finally on Steam and I'm going to take advantage of the sale price to pick up a second copy for LANing. Allrighty. I remember actually trying to find some Atari games I was looking for, and failing on all accounts. Guess they were just REALLY selective with the titles they were offering. You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep. Have I ever said that? Reapercussions
Blodhemn Posted December 28, 2010 Posted December 28, 2010 Picked up NWN2 as I've never really been into that franchise but $10 is good for that plus expansions, and I am curious to see what MOTB is all about. Also picked up another Obsidian game in Alpha Protocol.
trulez Posted December 28, 2010 Posted December 28, 2010 Wait, did Steam even HAVE Neverwinter Nights 2 before today?! Release Date: Dec 27, 2010 Nope! I'm going to have to buy me a second copy now. I second that.
trulez Posted December 28, 2010 Posted December 28, 2010 Also, just noticed they have KOTOR on sale for a measly 2 EUR, I'm going to buy it as a gift to all my friends.
Tale Posted December 28, 2010 Posted December 28, 2010 $9.99 for Crysis? Yep, that's what I'm willing to pay for it. Deal. "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."
Thorton_AP Posted December 28, 2010 Posted December 28, 2010 As I have learned, almost every game already on sale will, in fact, be on sale for even cheaper if I wait for a while.

Thorton_AP Posted December 28, 2010 Posted December 28, 2010 Played some Dead Rising 2 with a friend. A goofy amount of fun hahaha

entrerix Posted December 28, 2010 Posted December 28, 2010 wow, that actually makes me kinda want it. Killing is kind of like playin' a basketball game. I am there. and the other player is there. and it's just the two of us. and I put the other player's body in my van. and I am the winner. - Nice Pete.

PoetAndMadman Posted December 29, 2010 Posted December 29, 2010 I'm thinking about buying Crysis pack, but securom with it's 5 activations limit, and no possible way to revoke them scares the **** out of me.
Raithe Posted December 29, 2010 Posted December 29, 2010 I'm thinking about buying Crysis pack, but securom with it's 5 activations limit, and no possible way to revoke them scares the **** out of me. I picked up Crysis awhile back.. Actually I'd just upgraded my pc at the time to the bleeding edge. Crysis was the first game to really use all that oomph. Graphically I was impressed.. but meh, just couldn't get interested in it beyond a certain point. It felt like a technical win with no real soul to suck you into the gameplay. At least to my mind. "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum."
PoetAndMadman Posted December 29, 2010 Posted December 29, 2010 (edited) Yeah maybe you are right. i won't get my PC poluted with Securom crap just to be bored after a few hours. I hope that today there will be something interesting on sale. So far I bought only Serious Sam HD: Gold Edition. Edited December 29, 2010 by PoetAndMadman
Gorgon Posted December 29, 2010 Posted December 29, 2010 Getting batman to work requires games for windows live bloatware. It can't start without speaking to a server even with an offline profile, although I haven't tried starting it without an active internet connection I surmise it wouldn't work. Also, to edit the keys you have to exit the game. I know PC sales is usually less than 10%, but still, how bleedin' hard can it be to have proper keymapping, I mean it used to be in every game, now it's a rarity. Na na na na na na ... greg358 from Darksouls 3 PVP is a CHEATER. That is all.
Morgoth Posted December 29, 2010 Posted December 29, 2010 Okay, Section 8 sucks hard. I really need to stop buying sucky games even if they're ass cheap. It tends to stack up. Rain makes everything better.
Purkake Posted December 29, 2010 Posted December 29, 2010 Okay, Section 8 sucks hard. I really need to stop buying sucky games even if they're ass cheap. It tends to stack up. It's high time to try out some indie games
Nepenthe Posted December 29, 2010 Posted December 29, 2010 (edited) I'm thinking about buying Crysis pack, but securom with it's 5 activations limit, and no possible way to revoke them scares the **** out of me. I thought nobody was bananas enough to use Securom with steam (any longer). Sure it's (still) there? Checked the Steam page, and sure enough you're right, both come with complementary Securom. Well, not like I was thinking about getting either of them, anyway. Edited December 29, 2010 by Nepenthe You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep. Have I ever said that? Reapercussions

I thought nobody was bananas enough to use Securom with steam (any longer). Sure it's (still) there? Actually there's plenty of games on Steam that use Securom. Like Batman: AA, reason why I didn't grab it when it was on sale.
Morgoth Posted December 29, 2010 Posted December 29, 2010 Securom is harmless compared to this horrible Ubiloader. Rain makes everything better.
WorstUsernameEver Posted December 29, 2010 Posted December 29, 2010 Rape is harmless compared to genocide. Yes, indeed.
Guest Slinky Posted December 29, 2010 Posted December 29, 2010 I'm thinking about buying Crysis pack, but securom with it's 5 activations limit, and no possible way to revoke them scares the **** out of me. Direct quote from some Crytek employee: There's no activation limit on the original Crysis. Only Warhead has an activation limit and there's a de-authorisation tool available so that you don't have to use any up, so long as you de-authorise the game before reinstalling it Source
Blodhemn Posted December 29, 2010 Posted December 29, 2010 So I got NW2 after never playing it before and for a more modern looking game, the control setup is awful to me. I know it's like this to suit the hardcore gamers of the old game but is there any mod or possibly an option in the game that I haven't seen yet that allows more of a modern game control with movements using W,A,S,D keys actually moving your character in said direction while being able to move the camera by a simple movement of the mouse? This setup as is makes me not even want to explore or play really.
Morgoth Posted December 29, 2010 Posted December 29, 2010 NWN2 plays fine with a mouse only. Rain makes everything better.
