Nepenthe Posted June 26, 2010 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. Edited June 26, 2010 by Nepenthe You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep. Have I ever said that? Reapercussions
Calax Posted June 26, 2010 Author Posted June 26, 2010 Valve is slowly pushing through their library to update it for OSX, don't know about the other publishers. Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition! Kevin Butler will awesome your face off.
Nemo0071 Posted June 26, 2010 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. Edited June 26, 2010 by Nemo0071 "Save often!" -The Inquisitor "Floss regularly!" -also The Inquisitor
WorstUsernameEver Posted June 26, 2010 Posted June 26, 2010 So, does RE5 PC deserve a playthrough? I'm almost tempted.
Deadly_Nightshade Posted June 26, 2010 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

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
Morgoth Posted June 26, 2010 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.
WorstUsernameEver Posted June 26, 2010 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 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?

Walsingham Posted June 27, 2010 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.

Morgoth Posted June 27, 2010 Posted June 27, 2010 Bought EVE Online for 1,99 Rain makes everything better.
Purkake Posted June 27, 2010 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.

Purkake Posted June 28, 2010 Posted June 28, 2010 More commonly known as the dream or nightmare levels. Also, the levels that we don't talk about. The dream levels in the sequel are much better

The dream levels in the sequel are much better I'm not too fond of the gameplay in the first one, but the second game is one of the best I've ever played. You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep.

Nemo0071 Posted June 28, 2010 Posted June 28, 2010 HL1 for 2 bucks, Max payne (both) for five... HL1 was great for it's time, it still is, but graphics & physics are it's main drawback atm. Which is why I'm thinking of grabbing HL1 Source sometime... And now that I've spent 10 "Save often!" -The Inquisitor "Floss regularly!" -also The Inquisitor

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. It looked exactly like HL1. I don't get it... Thanks for the heads up. "Save often!" -The Inquisitor "Floss regularly!" -also The Inquisitor

That glass is filled up with pudding and a 3 year old doodles a face-like something on it. That's how HL:S looks like.Also, quick save/load broke scripted sequences.
