Purkake Posted July 3, 2010 Posted July 3, 2010 (edited) That depends: do you like guys with lots of belts? You can also watch the Yahtzee review for lulz. Edited July 3, 2010 by Purkake
Purkake Posted July 3, 2010 Posted July 3, 2010 Capcom and PC controls are like fire and water. You couldn't even use the mouse in menus on the RE4 port.
WorstUsernameEver Posted July 3, 2010 Posted July 3, 2010 Capcom and PC controls are like fire and water. You couldn't even use the mouse in menus on the RE4 port. Yeah but the RE4 port was the worst port EVAH, and CAPCOM seems to have learned at least a little bit, going by the generally positive comments about RE5. Still, I, at least, find the controller more suited to action games like DMC4.
Purkake Posted July 3, 2010 Posted July 3, 2010 Oh crap you can get the Freedom Force pack for next to nothing, awesome game with some serious RPG elements. Also Portal is like 1
Morgoth Posted July 3, 2010 Posted July 3, 2010 I bought Avencast for 2,24 Rain makes everything better.
Purkake Posted July 3, 2010 Posted July 3, 2010 Cryostasis has the most nonsensical story ever save for a few JRPGs maybe.
Niten_Ryu Posted July 4, 2010 Posted July 4, 2010 Final tally (I still haven't played all games from last Steam sale but who cares, it's cheap as chips). Bioshock 2 14,99 EUR Dirt 2 12,50 EUR Overlord Complete Pack (Overlord, Overlord - Rasing Hell, Overlord 2 ) 4,50 EUR Resident Evil 5 9,50 EUR Audiosurf 2,50 EUR Call of Duty Pack (Call of Duty, Call of Duty United Offensive, Call of Duty 2, Call of Duty 4, Call of Duty World at War) 27,99 EUR FlatOut Ultimate Carnage 1,90 EUR THQ Complete Pack (Company of Heroes, Company of Heroes Opposing Fronts, Company of Heroes Tales of Valor, Frontlines: Fuel of War, Full Spectrum Warrior, Full Spectrum Warrior: Ten Hammers, Juiced 2: Hot Import Nights, Metro 2033, Red Faction, Red Faction 2, Red Faction Guerilla, Stalker (damn, my 2nd copy of this game), Saints Row 2, Titan Quest, Titan Quest - Immortal Throne, Dawn of War Gold, Dawn of War Dark Crusade, Dawn of War Soulstorm, Dawn of War 2, Dawn of War 2 Chaos Rising) 49,99 EUR 123,87 EUR Over 20 games (+several addons) compared to the price of two and a half new games from my local store. Gotta love the Steam holiday sales. I wouldn't buy any of these games at full price but when the price is right, I'll buy it... and maybe play it later if I have the time. Let's play Alpha Protocol My misadventures on youtube.
WorstUsernameEver Posted July 4, 2010 Posted July 4, 2010 I got Dirt 2 free with my video card. Never got around to play it, since with a keyboard is almost impossible. Sooner or later I'll get a wired Xbox360 controller for my PC though, just for a couple of games.
Purkake Posted July 4, 2010 Posted July 4, 2010 I think the last racing game I actually liked was Flatout 2
Enoch Posted July 4, 2010 Posted July 4, 2010 Anybody have any idea how easy/hard/impossible it is to get Thief to work in a post-XP version of Windows? $3 is a small risk to take, but it'd be helpful if anybody's got some personal experience to go on.
Deraldin Posted July 5, 2010 Posted July 5, 2010 Anybody have any idea how easy/hard/impossible it is to get Thief to work in a post-XP version of Windows? $3 is a small risk to take, but it'd be helpful if anybody's got some personal experience to go on. Quick google search says it's hit or miss. Some people have almost no issues, others have more. I have a retail box copy floating around here somewhere that I could test on Win7 x64 if you want.
Tigranes Posted July 5, 2010 Posted July 5, 2010 Thief 2 was a mission to get working on Win7, but I eventually did it, with a fanmade nvidia fix, some compatibility mods and the like. I *think* it works now, but it's hard to tell - things look very dark and I think there are some texture weirdities, but I haven't really played it yet.

Deadly_Nightshade Posted July 5, 2010 Posted July 5, 2010 I've had no problems so far with Windows 7 x64 and Thief 3, although, again, it seems that it's hit-or-miss. "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
Deadly_Nightshade Posted July 5, 2010 Posted July 5, 2010 Cryostasis has the most nonsensical story ever save for a few JRPGs maybe. Not really. It wasn't that hard to follow. "Geez.

Niten_Ryu Posted July 5, 2010 Posted July 5, 2010 I got Dirt 2 free with my video card. Never got around to play it, since with a keyboard is almost impossible.Sooner or later I'll get a wired Xbox360 controller for my PC though, just for a couple of games. I didn't find driving with keyboard hard at all, but then again, I've used keyboard for driving since the early 90's (joystick was good before that). "the dude" mentality is bothersome in Dirt2 and I have no idea who those so called celebrities are in the game but I guess that's just a generation thing. Otherwise it's rather fun and solid racer with good variety of the tracks and drivemodes. Highest or 2nd highest difficulty is recommended, with full damage. Certainly not worth the full price but with discount it has excellent value. Let's play Alpha Protocol My misadventures on youtube.

I played Deadly Shadows on a friend's x64 Vista, but haven't installed it on my x64 Win7 yet. The only problem I remember having (on a 16:10 monitor) was something about resolution, which I got around by changing the aspect ratio to 4:3 manually (from the monitor controls). T:DS is a must have at $3 imo. "Save often!" -The Inquisitor "Floss regularly!" -also The Inquisitor
Nemo0071 Posted July 5, 2010 Posted July 5, 2010 Just in case someone didn't notice, a last-day-best-sellers-discount kind of thing is going on. 7.5 hours left. About half of those games I have, others I'm curious about / don't have the money to buy atm. Highly recommended to at least check out.

Purkake Posted July 5, 2010 Posted July 5, 2010 Cryostasis has the most nonsensical story ever save for a few JRPGs maybe. Not really. It wasn't that hard to follow. I don't mean the story about the ship, but the(actual spoilers to follow) Russian fairytale that has not relation to the story what so ever and the bit when you fight frickin Chronos at the end .
Bos_hybrid Posted July 5, 2010 Posted July 5, 2010 My purchase list: Just cause 2 SW:TFU Space Rangers 2 Stalker: CoP Arma 2 Men of War Operation Flashpont:DR Space Force: Rogue Universe Silent Hill: Homecoming Crusaders: Thy Kingdom Come Steam
Serrano Posted July 5, 2010 Posted July 5, 2010 I bought UFO: Extraterrestrials but I dare not repeat the spending frenzy that occured during the xmas sales. Looks like you picked up some nice titles though, I own Homecoming and it's my favourite of the series after SH2.
