Everyone should get batman and the latest red faction today.

 

[MNC]

Dammit, I thought eh, sale will be disappointing so I grabbed Saints Row 2 at the last minute... I could've spent it on batman

 

[NewFresh]

I need some opinions on the flatout games:

Is the newest one graphically demanding?
How good are they overall?
Do you opinions matter or am I going to buy them anyway?

 

[I <3 Memes]

Red Faction: Space Jerk is tempting at $5.00. Heard it's a bitch to update though.

 

[jediyoshi]

2) Is Splinter Cell Chaos Theory set up to use the 360 controller?

Yep.

 

[Petrie]

Tried Tropico 3 on 360 and ended up overwhelmed and not able to get into it. Worth playing on PC regardless? Seemed to have a TON to manage.

*edit*

Never played Flatout before, which do I get?

 

[kharma45]

Someone post the deals please? Posting from my phone

 

[dream]

Hi GAF. Get Splinter Cell Chaos Theory for $5. Love, dream.

 

[Wellington]

Damn, I wanted DA but I was hoping for a higher percentage off. I'll think about it.

Oh shit Civ V up there as well... still too much tho.

 

[Luigi87]

:lol

 

[Forkball]

What a crummy deal on Civ V. I got it on Cyber Monday from Amazon for $30. Civ V is Steamworks, so you can buy it and use the CD key on Steam without ever having to put the CD in. I recommend going that route if you can find it cheaper somewhere else.

I'll finally bite on Batman.

 

[Meier]

Tropico 3 pack is a steal. I bought Tropico last year for $7.50 so I just gave in and bought the expansion pack for $3 now. $6 for both is unreal!

 

[Struct09]

Red Faction: Space Jerk is tempting at $5.00. Heard it's a bitch to update though.

It's not too difficult, it's well documented how to do it. I got it updated and it ran great.

 

[Foxtastical]

$18 for all the Splinter Cell titles. Tempting, along with Batman.

We'll see.

 

[Teknoman]

Red Faction: Space Jerk is tempting at $5.00. Heard it's a bitch to update though.

Its not auto updated through steam?

 

[CecilRousso]

I would, if they came without Securom and GfWL.

Edit: Beaten!

Thank you both!

 

[Iadien]

I was waiting for Batman, first game I've purchased during the sale.

 

[Schmattakopf]

Another awesome day.

 

[Sipowicz]

fuck me. i think monkey island special and dragon age ultimate are sure things. i need some advice on

red faction guerilla - is this a good port?
splinter cell conviction - is this a good game/port?
tropico gold - is this wworth getting for someone who's never played this type of game?

 

[Mihos]

Tropico 3 pack is a steal. I bought Tropico last year for $7.50 so I just gave in and bought the expansion pack for $3 now. $6 for both is unreal!

Tropico 3 is great. I second this endorsement.

 

[clav]

Nothing for me today.

Merry Christmas GAF!

 

[kai3345]

"steam servers are too busy to handle your request"

 

[I NEED SCISSORS]

1. Is the PC version of Double Agent good? That and Conviction are the only SC games I am yet to play, so i'd really like to get both at once for more discounts. I have heard however that the original Xbox version is superior?

2. Dragon Age Ultimate Editon includes everything, right? And is the Steam version moddable?

3. I already own Monkey Island 2. If I buy this double pack, can I gift the one I already have to someone?

 

[fresquito]

What's the best Flatout?

 

[The Big Rig]

Red Faction: Space Jerk is tempting at $5.00. Heard it's a bitch to update though.

ahem, its space asshole.

I might bite on Conviction, but its been two days of only ok sales.

 

[DSN2K]

hmmm Im looking at...

Batman:AA
Monkey Island bundle
Splinter Cell Chaos Theory

think that's me done for today.

 

[CecilRousso]

And btw, since no one mentions Altitude, I´m guessing that everyone aldready owns it? Because it´s a brilliant game.

 

[bestami]

"You already own FlatOut: Ultimate Carnage"
I guess i'm one of you guys now.

 

[Kabuki Waq]

can anyone give me the 411 on sc conviction. I have I7920 and a 5870 is 60fps a possibility? any issue with the pc port?

 

[Yeef]

Picked up Monkey Island and Altitude.

 

[spons]

Red Faction Guerrilla for 2,49 is such a good deal, even though the storyline and mission structure are poor at best.

 

[indigo-cyclops]

?

I personally find the PC port the best version, it certainly looks and runs the best...

Nothing for me today, but I bought Overlord pack and King Arthur complete yesterday. Anyone having issues in King Arthur where most textures are blue/black? It's weird...

Merry Christmas GAF!

 

[Semblance]

Absolutely nothing I want / don't already own. Not even the Spain broad Civ V DLC is on sale. Totes disappointed.

I have a good feeling about today. There shall be some quality deals, I just know it.

Shut the fuck up, asshole.

 

[Archie]

The MW2 map packs are still full price. :lol Eat shit, Activision.

 

[Xater]

I want Civ 5 but that's a terrible deal. You can already get a boxed copy for cheaper. Should have been 50% off.

 

[I NEED SCISSORS]

2) Is Splinter Cell Chaos Theory set up to use the 360 controller? Maybe even the original Splinter Cell? If not, does their design fit (better than Hitman) with KB/Mouse.?

Yes, to an extent. It thinks it's an Xbox 1 controller, so it will use the bumpers instead of the triggers. There is no way of changing this i'm afriad. The button config is also pretty crazy unless you take some time to remap it all.

What I would recommend is connecting a Dual Shock 3 and using the MotionInJoy drivers. That way you can fix all of the above problems.

 

[kai3345]

my normal download rate is 800kb/s but now its going 200 kb/s

Estimated download time 1 day 5 hours.

fffffffffuuuuuu

 

[Struct09]

fuck me. i think monkey island special and dragon age ultimate are sure things. i need some advice on

red faction guerilla - is this a good port?

You have to pull some tricks to get it updated (not too difficult), but after that it runs great.

 

[Deadman]

dragon age get.

 

[spons]

What I would recommend is connecting a Dual Shock 3 and using the MotionInJoy drivers. That way you can fix all of the above problems.

Didn't the official drivers leak months ago?

 

[Yasser]

if i already own one of the monkey island games can i gift it when i buy the bundle?

 

[Foliorum Viridum]

8kb/s download. Nice. :lol

 

[faceless007]

Dammit, like 5 of these I bought during the summer sale for more.

 

[prodystopian]

I'm thinking about Shank. Any reason I shouldn't?

Also, definitely getting DA Ultimate. Yessssss.

 

[LocoMrPollock]

Red Faction Guerrilla for 2,49 is such a good deal, even though the storyline and mission structure are poor at best.

It's $5.

You really need a quad core to run it, though, because all of the physics are done with the CPU.

Anyway, Tropico 3 Gold is very tempting at $6

The Flatout games are really great too and a steal at what they're asking.

 

[kharma45]

my normal download rate is 800kb/s but now its going 200 kb/s

Estimated download time 1 day 5 hours.

fffffffffuuuuuu

I'm normally around 1.8MB/s but am only getting 263 kb/s I'm never gonna AvP downloaded.

 

[Nabs]

What's the best Flatout?

don't buy flatout

 

[Ivan A Nguyen]

I expected better for Christmas day. I'll wait and see if Amazon is doing anything good for games tomorrow before I bite the bullet on DA:O

 

[I <3 Memes]

Batman AA:GOTY for $7.50?

Wow! That's a low price!
