Star Wars The Force Unleashed II @ -75%: €7.49.-
MW2 Day 2!
That's still more dollars than hours it takes to finish!

Sounds good to me! With all the games I have on my backlog, the shorter they are the more I get to finish.
BARF!!!!!!!

That's the spirit!
And it's a really boring, repetitive few hours. I liked Force Unleashed 1 as well.

Oof. Yeah, I had not heard good things about that game.
Super short yet it manages to feel too long, only a developer like (modern day) Lucasarts could pull that off.
The first one suffers a little from repetitive level designs and awful boss fights but it's still fun to mess around with the physics, even if the sabre combat isn't perfect.
If it's the ultimate Sith Edition though, two of those bonus levels are actually super well made and had me really looking forward to TFU2 as they seemed to have learned from their previous mistakes regarding level design. Made the second one all the more disappointing when it was released. Speaking of which, the first 3/4 levels of TFU2 are pretty cool and worth playing through but the game sharply takes a downward turn as soon as that's over. I know games aren't made sequentially but man, it's almost as if you can tell where and when development issues started.
You'll definitely get your money's worth for that price.

Talking about TFU2? Definitely just plug and play from what I remember. But, then again, I did play it on release well over a year ago...
I came to ask this.. Shame :/

Hah. Now imagine the numbers when Dota 2 comes out and the underserved Chinese market latches onto Steam. I'm expecting 8m+ concurrent, 60m+ active users.
It hit 4 million back in September. I wager it will break 5 million on Christmas Day. (Sundays are the most active time plus it will be in the midst of the holiday sale)
Ehh, even though Dota 2 will be huge (assuming it is F2P), I don't think it will hit 3 million concurrent.

Awesome news. Looking forward to playing the eXceed games again.
I meant by the time Dota 2 comes out. I don't think Dota 2 will be responsible for all the growth.Ehh, even though Dota 2 will be huge (assuming it is F2P), I don't think it will hit 3 million concurrent.
Sure about that? A quick google search said yes... Not that it really matters, I already bought it like the little consumer whore I am :/
edit: Seems like it has been patched to support more controllers, including the 360 pad.

A moments research seems to indicate that its unlockable at the second level. It looks neat. I might bite if not exclusively for that.
My first payday ever is also approaching. Fantastic timing.less than 7 days before our wallets start screaming for mercy

Yay! That means Rapelay isn't far off!
I'm really curious about the Steam Sales but I'm hoping to be able to play at least one or two games since I only have a laptop, I don't understand specs in a long time (since my last gaming PC, when Oblivion was released) and I have no idea what might run or not on this one...
I'm counting on you GAF, 7 more days!

Maybe he'll post them when he's about to get some tasty deals during the sale. Om nom nom.
Just post your specs and find out what you can play.
I just didn't want to go too much off topic, since this a Steam thread, but if you guys don't mind:
Processor: 2.3 GHz Intel Core i5
4GB 1333 MHz DDR3
Intel HD 3000
Should I add more info?
I can run Left 4 Dead 2 on High Settings without a problem, easily (just an example)
SteelAttack Yes, I might ask if I can run x,y,z game when the Sales arrives.
Thank you all.

I've entered myself in the daily contest a lot of times and I still haven't won shit. This is bollocks. I want to win my top 10!
BTW, I was away from Steam during the weekend, anybody remember the deals that took place on Friday, Saturday and Sunday? Just to rub a bit of salt in the wound, of course.

Here you go.
That should answer your gaming questions.
But you can PM me when you have a question on a specific game that pops up.
