Windows 7 64bit.

I'm talking specifically about Jedi Knight: Dark Forces 2.

I haven't finished downloading the others but dark forces 1 works just fine.

Won't even boot. Hard to tell what's wrong with it when it just does that.
I just tried downloading and running it under Windows 7 Home Premium. Without any changes it launched and played the intro cutscenes (which are...hilarious, I guess? :lol :lol I don't know that I've ever played a game with semi-live-action scenes like these). Once the game cut in it goes to fullscreen and things are distorted, though. I guess I need to hunt for a way to make it windowed. Screenshot example:

At any rate, it doesn't crash on startup for me, so I'm not sure what's happening on your system.

I had Bloodlines a long time ago and sold it on ebay. Added to my wishlist for you guys.

Does the game run a lot better on new PCs? I didn't have issues with the framerate, but as the world began getting populated with more of my actions, loads went from .01 seconds (where you couldn't even read the tip screens) to FOREVER. Made the game a total chore when you knew entering a house was going to give you a minute load to get in and out (and you weren't sure you needed to ask somebody anything).

C'mon NBA 2K11! That's the last thing I'm waiting for. I've spent around $90 for 9 games, so not bad at all. It seems like a lot, but then I think if I had just bought 2 of these games at release for my 360 or PS3, I'd be over $30 over this amount. At least that's my rationaliztion. :lol
2k11, make it happen Based Gabe!
 
cracked at Far Cry 2 for $5.

I figure for that price I at least gotta see what a lot of people (who's opinions I respect) have been talking about...

Also, thank you for having it be < 4 GB

My HDD can't take any more Steam holiday sales :lol

How does Jedi Academy hold up? I played it on Xbox ages ago, kinda liked it, not as Outcast though.

Is the modding on the game relevant?

It's a little clumsy, but overall really fun. Non-linear missions compared to Outcast but not as strong a story. You get to fight a rancor.

Come on Sega, Put Sonic All Star Racing on -75% today, it's your last chance!

id love to see this, actually. was a really fun 360 rental, id totally buy in for a low price, best sega fanfare since uh, bayonetta.

So, who's buying Bloodlines today after the final sales get posted? Or would that be giving in?

really considering it, even though im not yet done with planescape, still have BG2 from gog, etc in queue:lol i just want to have it ready when i am! and honestly, if i run through it before halloween and let's say its $5-10 off that day (magically) then from all ive read, i should more than have had my money's worth.

Yeef said:
The Longest Journey is absolutely worth $10. Hurry up and buy it!

I own Bloodlines (had it gifted it to me last week), but haven't played it yet. Nor have I played Dreamfall, but from what I've it's not as good as The Longest Journey.

man, that's a nice gift. :D its a sequel though, yeah? can you jump into Longest Journey or is it advisable to go through Dreamfall first?

Jedi Academy was built with mouse and keyboard in mind and it holds up great. You can make the game properly widescreen and throw lots of AA at it and play it at 60 fps and it can look quite decent at times. The game isn't as polished as JK2 and the story is weaker, but the gameplay is still fucking boss and the level variety is truly something.

Other way around. Dreamfall is the sequel to The Longest Journey. So play The Longest Journey first.
