Only interested in Darksiders, but I'm holding my $15 left for something grand. I don't think my laptop can even play it.

AP doesn't have "really bad graphics". I mean it's not going to win any awards but it looks good at high res.

Story, atmosphere, music, rpg elements, loot, all are better in ME1. There isnt really any loot at all in ME2. The only thing ME2 gets better is combat.

Someone convince me one way or the other on dead rising 2. Played the demo for case zero and it felt kind of bland. Just walking around zombies and avoiding them toget the medicine. Not exactly sure what I'm missing out on. Almost feel like I'd be better off playing L4d.

I thought ME1 was better than ME2. There didn't seem to be nearly as many different types of armour/weapons and stuff (only upgrades to one or two suits) in ME2... It felt like they got rid of a lot of the openess of the first game, too (like on the Citadel).
In either case, you have to play it if only to bring over your save game. Also, the 5770 should be fine.
I have finished both. The biggest issue of Risen is the last boss and the 10 second CG ending. It did not ruin the game or even diminish my enjoyment. It's a case of the Journey being so much better than the destination.Zachack said:
If you are in it for a story however The Witcher is no questions asked, the better game.

i just wish the mass effect games had steam achievements. Also, do you guys think dead rising 2 will get any lower in price? possible?

Can't help it. I'm gonna pull the trigger on Darksiders. Got it on the ps3 but the ps3 controller doesn't sit well with me and certain games stop playing after meeting Uthane I believe his name was. PC version with 360 gamepad should be more than enough to get me through the entire game.

Not during this year. It seems all the outlets its on are going down to 50%, and that's it.TrAcEr_x90 said:
If you do miss the sale on it this day, it is on at least two other websites, I believe, at 50% off.

Not even close. If you like Mass Effect games, Alpha Protocol is a buy.cicero said:

Too many giant RPGs I'll never have time to play, especially when I can't resist replaying my favorite RPGs. Next year is going to be even worse.
meh. with PayPal i don't have to worry about a third party intercepting my CC# and using it for dastardly reasons (see: monoprice fiasco)DennisK4 said:

Alpha Protocol is easily in my top 10 games of the year.
You can't say no to that price.

To european people
Alpha protocol was sold in Spain with the usual spanish subs (ive been looking now thorught the internets, and yeah, there is a spanish option), but in the steam page it says theres no spanish language option /states there are other european laguages, but not spanish, what makes it very strange)
Can someone confirm in their options menu if you can put the game in spanish (I mean, not voices, only talking about subs).

As I said earlier, the effect your choices have in this game are like a generation ahead of it's time. It's not all silly good/evil choices either. You have various attitudes that you pick in dialog and those play off the personality of who you are talking to. A lot of it is very subtle which in my opinion is a good thing compared to the Saint/Psychopath options you see in most games.Darklord said:

I paid good money for this Dynex!
Two questions:
1) Is Darksiders good? It looks like God of War lite, and I already don't like God of War that much because it's just DMC lite.
2) How does Mass Effect 2 Digital Deluxe work? Is the DLC all managed through Steam, or is the actual download itself different than if you were to just buy vanilla Mass Effect 2? Cuz I already have the retail CE, so I dunno what to get.

So you enjoyed the last two chapters (of four, granted they were much shorter) consisting almost entirely of 6 or 7 dungeons that looked mostly identical, dodging the same tired insta-kill traps (that were used effectively in the beginning with the tiny dungeons), and fighting the same 3 or 4 enemy types over and over again?Ceebs said:
Because that's what the game turned into for me. Once the overworld exploring was done the game took a nosedive. The journey was fantastic... up to the point where the story took over.
I would call the graphics "adequate". It's definitely a case where the $60 initial price was much too high in comparison to what you could buy instead, though.

I like Alpha Protocol a lot, but the stealth is the only saving grace for the game in terms of game play. If you're not into that, it's really hard to tell you to slog through levels after levels just to see the conversation system.

I dunno dude, dropping graphics options is pretty bad...ArjanN said:
edit: I played Alpha Protocol without a stealth oriented character. Shotgunned my way through the missions that allowed me too. I still had a lot of fun. I actually think it might be preferable since it is less broken.
Actually you can Dudebro this game. There are different builds that favor different play styles. You don't have to be stealthy at all if you don't want to (although that was my build) and instead can shotgun the hell out of people through the levels. It's just that the combat isn't that great so it's better to avoid it when possible.Minsc said:

See thats what I though. Todays deal is for both ME1 and ME2 so something is wrong with the pricing. If you click on mass effect on the daily deal page it opens to mass effects page which is 2 sided. me1 on one side and me2 on the other.
When you click on either side it takes you to a page where you can buy me1, me2, or me2 deluxe.
The problem is that both me1 and me2 show $20.00 as the normal price and both show 50% off. So they both ended up at $10. Something is wrong there because I dont think me1 and me2 are normally both the same price.
