2003? How did I never get around to playing this?Meier said:Holy crap...is Sim City 4 really that old? 2003?! Craziness..

Decided on The Ball(Demo was decent, but it's Tripwire and I'm sure I'll be able to kill 5-6 hours playing it). And Amnesia... Which as I said, I'll probably legitimately never be able to play. It took me an entire weekend to get pass the first Zombie in REmake, and I quit CV right at the first door. Going through SH2 was a multiple month long progress. Hell, the first part of Crysis even scared me.
But the Gaf good word of mouth has pushed me over, and that by chance, if the day is bright enough and I have someone holding my hand. Maybe I'll play it.

No, I'm just a pussy when it comes to horror stuff, or better to say, tension. It's very easy for someone like me to get caught in a mood.Petrie said:Seriously, I never had any clue people were so scared of these horror games. When did this happen and how did I miss it?
4 days, I'm dreading it . Spent too much money so far, on more games than I could possibly hope to have time to play. This sale resets my backlog every year and I keep coming back.shintoki said:Still got 4 more days of sales :O

Amnesia will fuck you up. I'm not joking.shintoki said:No, I'm just a pussy when it comes to horror stuff, or better to say, tension. It's very easy for someone like me to get caught in a mood.

Exactly what combination of hallucinogenic drugs do I need to be on before this starts making a lick of sense? Serious WTF on that one.
seady said:How supportive is Steam for adding Steam Play (for Mac compatibility) on the PC games?
I am a Mac guy, and there are a lot of games I want to get, but many of them are PC only at the moment on Steam (despite there are Mac version of it available elsewhere, like SimCity 4 for example).
Houston3000 said:Man, does SC4 run like crap on anyone elses PC? It's weird, back in 2003 or so I ran the game fine on my old ass computer (that's a lie, I actually had to upgrade but still) now my 2.8Ghz Dual Core with all the fixings seems to be running it rather sloppy. It's not unplayable but not as fast and smooth as I'd think would be.
There are a few common causes for bad performance, but know this - SimCity 4 is just as much of a system hog now as it was back then. Abnormally bad performance can be caused by:
1) ATi cards, specifically the Catalyst drivers. I'm pretty sure there are some versions that work alright, but I do not own an ATi card so somebody else will have to clarify. Try running the game in Software Rendering mode.
2) Multithreaded CPUs. These can make SC4 act really weird (on XP at least, Vista seems to work fine.) If you have issues, try starting SC4, alt tabbing out, hitting CTRL-SHIFT-ESC, right clicking the Simcity 4 process and choosing "Set Affinity." Untick all boxes except CPU 0. I believe you have to do this every time you play the game, which is a pain in the arse.
3) Road Top Mass Transit mod. The methods that this mod uses to place bus stops and the like on top of your roads are somewhat of a hack - it's really just a regular building that lets traffic pass through it. This means that every time a sim passes through the building, their route is recalculated. This can bring a city to its knees, and can even lead to abandonment as the pathfinder gives up on finding routes.
4) Shadows kill performance. Turn them to low and enjoy tolerable framerates again!

Install the AI for Hard/Delta (its an option in the CCC installer) if your good at shooters, the game can be played at extreme ranges and the vanilla AI kinda breaks making the game not as fun. I played it last night with the hard AI and the game just feels so much better and more challenging. I have had to use my suit powers in so many varied ways compared to my original stealth and camo sneak play through since it is much harder to pull off.
The greatest thing of the modded AI is the actually track you down, if you run away with maximum speed, a few of them will sprint towards your last known position. This has become my GOTY of 2010 even if it didn't come out this year!

Gibbo said:Guys, how does Indiana Jones :Fate of the Atlantis hold up to this day? Thinking of getting that on steam.
IrishNinja said:yeah, couldn't say no to that price, and indy's the only one ive ever seen.
seriously, is lucasarts just stupid or are there licensing reasons to explain why the other monkey islands, maniac mansion/DOTT, full throttle, sam & max etc aren't on steam? we'd all buy them, and even if they wanted to do HD remakes later on, they'd get bought again.
