Sooo tempted to double dip on Oblivion even though I already have 100+ hours on it between PS3/360 version.

You can hardly say you played Oblivion at all if you didn't play it modded out like crazy.

 

[Salsa]

mouse only or a controller.

not true, it uses the keyboard to activate some powers and such.

 

[kamspy]

I want Singularity, but was hoping for $15-20

I'll think about it.

Singularity is very very very good.

Plus, the main AR looks like the M4 from COD with a 480 GTX taped to the side of it.

 

[Kayhan]

Playing expert with realism mode on hard rain is crazy. That alone is worth it

i am confuse.

what game are you talking about?

 

[X05]

anyone who doesnt buy Shatter is wrong

This.

Also, nothing for me today...

 

[Iadien]

I would buy L4D2 if it were $5.00. I don't want it that much.

 

[Foliorum Viridum]

You have to buy the Stories. Or maybe buy in-game from MS? Not sure about the second. I purchased the Stories for 7.50 on Steam a while ago. It's really stupid, however, that they're separate. Two huge files/folders that can't be combined. Even though GTA IV has the DLC built into the start menus.

Yes I know I CAN buy them on Steam, but for £14! It's only £6 in the daily deal, but because it contains GTA4 which I already own, they won't let me buy it. So stupid. So what if I own it, let me buy it again for the extra contenet.

What does Shatter control with, mouse alone, mouse and keyboard together?

95% mouse with one keyboard press every so often

 

[graywolf323]

is there any difference between GTA IV Complete and having vanilla + episodes?

What is your SteamID? If you want, I can try gifting it to you.

None.

Nehrim is all you need.

Nehrim.

Is it really good? I'll try it eventually, but I wouldn't dismiss Oblivion w/ mods either.

Oblivion w/ mods is an incredible game, the best (only) way to play Oblivion. Nehrim is more like a total conversion, nothing from Oblivion remains I believe, so you could play Nehrim, and you could play Oblivion w/ mods, and you'd be playing two very different and incredible games (assuming Nehrim holds up).

Sooo tempted to double dip on Oblivion even though I already have 100+ hours on it between PS3/360 version.

Oblivion w/ mods!!! So good. And then you have Nehrim too, if spending hours and hours figuring out mods isn't your thing (in which case you could simply install OOO + a few texture mods and leave it at that).

 

[I <3 Memes]

What does Shatter control with, mouse alone, mouse and keyboard together?

Controls beautifully with mouse alone. Turn off vsync though. Even though the game has an option for triple buffering you will still have mouse lag with vsync. Have not tried vsync and triple buffering with D3DOverrider to see if it works that way without lag.

Vsync issue aside it is a really fun game.

is there any difference between GTA IV Complete and having vanilla + episodes?

Complete is 16 Gbs, Vanilla + Episodes is 32 Gbs.

 

[John]

i am confuse.

what game are you talking about?

l4d2. best map :>

 

[Salsa]

i am confuse.

what game are you talking about?

he's talking about L4D2

 

[LegoDad]

Screw you evil steam sale. I just built my first PC early december and I'm now over 40 games... yeah.. can you say backlog, plus my ps3 backlog. :lol

 

[Dipswitch]

You can buy the DLC by itself. For $20.00.

Amazon still has the EFLC pack on sale for $7.50. It won't work with Steam (At least I don't think the key is accepted), but it'll save you some cake.

It seems like it's already been answered. Gifts. It'd be pretty ridiculous if you can gift the complete edition and two people who both owned it got around it by trading gifts.

 

[Ashsturm]

How easy is it to learn Europa Universalis? I bought HoI3 a while back and felt intimidated enough to never get into it and the demo of Europa again seemed to have quite a poor tutorial, tried 2 or 3 times and could never do much.

I've got nothing against complexity but Paradox's games don't seem to be designed with new players in mind.

 

[zoku88]

Just popping in here to say that I expect all of you who don't already have EUIII to buy it right now >_<

 

[Salaadin]

You guys really dont help me with these sales much. Im only half decided but Oblivion is in my cart. I just need to push the buy button. FFFUUUUUU

 

[Foliorum Viridum]

What is your SteamID? If you want, I can gifting it to you.


None.

I'd be happy to gift you something of equal value in return if it works.

 

[Kayhan]

It isn't necessary to spend hours modding Oblivion

Install OOO and Qarls High Res texture pack, and these two mods alone will improve the gameplay and graphics enormously.

 

[I <3 Memes]

not true, it uses the keyboard to activate some powers and such.

But you can remap all of those to mouse.

 

[Bebpo]

Any word on Hegeemony or Grand Ages: Rome?

These are the only ones I want to know about as well.

 

[Minsc]

Probably going to end up grabbing GTA4 Complete to see how the ENB mod looks in person, EU3, and Shatter, this Steam sale has really been delivering nicely!

 

[Stallion Free]

How do people still not own L4D2? They have put the game on sale a million times.

 

[Corky]

Wow first day I wont be buying anything

 

[graywolf323]

Complete is 16 Gbs, Vanilla + Episodes is 32 Gbs.

sounds like the Complete is IV + DLC unlike Vanilla + Episodes where Episodes is stand alone

would prefer complete just gotta figure out how to gift it to myself

 

[1-D_FTW]

DOESN'T WORK WITH STEAM VERSION!

The boycott lives on!

 

[wolfmat]

Now I feel bad that a friend gifted me EU3 when it was $10. I also tried to play a game and my head was dizzy from the complexity. ; ;

Seriously, it's not hard to get some sort of game going by choosing the timeframe around 1492 and going at it with Portugal. Then, you establish colony after colony towards the west. You work your way around SA to end up at AU, work up towards CH and JP, try to get through to IN, circle Africa at ZA, back up to CI and you're basically home again.

The hard part, as I said, is managing the pirates with that approach. But it'll be an epic adventure, no doubt.

Don't start in Germany, it's super-crazy. Very competitive, very dense politics and all. Not for beginners.

Start with some nation that's already established its superiority in its region of origin at the point in time you're beginning at. That will make things easy, and easy is good in this game.

 

[CecilRousso]

I am ^_^

You most likely mean someone else, but I was and I am.

Edit: iphone related misquote.

 

[poppabk]

It looks like gifting to someone who already owns GTA4 works just fine.

Does that mean people can gift to email and then download it themselves?

 

[careksims]

Wow... nothing at all. I should have jumped at the RE5 sale

 

[Foliorum Viridum]

ENB doesn't work in Steam I think you can maybe roll back the updates, but I haven't tried that. Do some reasearch first!

 

[Edgeward]

Gonna have to get oblivion at that price. New Vegas has made me fall in love with these type of games now.

 

[Kayhan]

DOESN'T WORK WITH STEAM VERSION!

MINSC, READ THIS

 

[drhankmccoyphd]

Can someone explain mehrim to me? Slightly interested in oblivion but I've been turned off by Bethesda games in the past. A friend keeps bugging me to try them again. Kinda feel like my fantasy game is fine with the witcher.

 

[Mr Sandman]

I won't be buying it since the PC won't be receiving future DLC and apparently there is hardly any customization in terms of settings.

WTF? Seriously? Why not? Wow, it goes from extremely tempting to (almost) pass.

 

[Stallion Free]

The boycott lives on!

Stupidity lives on too then I guess.

Very true. This last time though, I used unique landscapes mod and my god does it add something else to that game. I honestly would suggest avoiding modding character/facial stuff to save headache and time...

 

[.nimrod]

Gah, i'm tempted to buy NFSHP

How is it compared to Burnout Paradise?
(I didn't like Burnout Paradise as much as the previous ones, there was so much to do and what felt like very little progress)

 

[Parham]

I can confirm that gifting GTA4 Complete to someone who owns GTA4 works.

 

[Shambles]

I would buy L4D2 if it were $5.00. I don't want it that much.

It's 5$ for those who already own L4D1. Get a friend to gift a copy for you.

 

[Foliorum Viridum]

What is your SteamID? If you want, I can try gifting it to you..

Gifting works if you own GTA4 and want the episodes.

Big thanks to this man in the quote

 

[kai3345]

Hmmm. Oblivion for sure, but I'm on the fence about GTA IV complete. All I'd play is Gay Tony, since I beat Vanilla + Lost and Damned on 360. Is it still worth 10 bucks if I just play Gay Tony?

Plus idk if my M11x could handle it

[Stallion Free]

Watch as Criterion releases Need for Speed Hot Pursuit: Big Surf City and leaves PC out in the cold again like last time.

I don't understand why they do this with DLC.
