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.

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.

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.

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.

$9.99 for Crysis?

 

Yep, that's what I'm willing to pay for it. Deal.

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.

Got Section 8 for

Played some Dead Rising 2 with a friend. A goofy amount of fun hahaha

wow, that actually makes me kinda want it.

Sale's pretty meh so far.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Securom is harmless compared to this horrible Ubiloader.

Rape is harmless compared to genocide.

 

Yes, indeed.

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

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.

NWN2 plays fine with a mouse only.
