Support NeoGAF

[LCfiner]

So I bought Polynomial and Lara Croft. Mac support for Polynomial was super important since all my iTunes stuff is on my Mac partition.

then, I realized Puzzle Quest was a measly buck fiddy, so I bought that as well.

Bring on wednesday, Steam! I’m ready!

 

[kennah]

whoops!

Haha, I was about to post where the fuck did that come from.

 

[Scotch]

Haven't bought anything yet! I would've bought BC2 even though I own it on PS3, but EA priced it too high because I live on the wrong continent.

Hang tough, my wallet

 

[Snuggles]

I'm only at $9.25 spent so far. The Witcher EE, P.B. Winterbottom and Super Meat Boy.

I'll probably spend a lot more over the weekend, but at least I've been conservative so far.

 

[Dilli666]

Anyone interested in hosting a Bioshock 2 4-pack? Its 30€ here in Germany, maybe some US-Gaffer (30$) would like to host?

 

[.nimrod]

Is anybody else having problems getting Burnout to work?

I'm on Windows 7 and it keeps crashing during the loading screen
And why the fuck isn't the DLC in the ultimate box?

 

[Stumpokapow]

Got the Witcher and Indie Brain Pack today.

Total haul so far:
40.09, 22 games.

 

[evil solrac v3.0]

so far i've spent

DAY 1

Lara Croft and the Guardian of light : $7.49
Battlefield: bad company 2 : $6.79

DAY 2
Lara Croft and the Guradian of light : $5.10
Resident Evil 5 : $10.20

total : $ 29. 58 :/ fuck me and i still have about eight games on the wishlist not to mention another five games that I may pick up (nothing from activision, cheap fucks.)

and not to mention the pre-Christmas sale of just cause 2@$ 7.50

 

[JoeBoy101]

How well does The Witcher run on current PC hardware? Any issues?

:lol

Its running on a heavily modified Inifinity engine, IIRC. As long as you have a pretty recent card, you should easily be able to crush it. Even if not, its pretty scalable.

 

[_Bro]

Anybody know a good program that closes unwanted programs for when you play games? I think I can make The Witcher work.

 

[Minamu]

:lol I did a Nintendo 64!! scream when I saw the Witcher price. Finally purchased. Pretty good day overall, with my 1TB hard drive and wired 360 controller arriving together with the Dead Space 2 demo

 

[clav]

Caved in to Toki Tori.

$1.25 with Steam Cloud support makes a lot of sense. That's something a phone version would never do (or at least not yet). Wonder why Defense Grid still does not have it.

The damage so far:

$3.75: Super Meat Boy
$0.50: Misadventures of P.B. Winterbottom
$1.25: Toki Tori
--------
$5.50

 

[Jokey665]

Day 2 damages:

Tomb Raider Anniversary
Lara Croft GoL
The Witcher
Bioshock 2
Indie Kids Pack

Total: 28.57
Total so far: 62.44

:X

Aurora Engine. With a completely new rendering engine.

I got last month's credit card bill last week and it was an even split between Tim Horton's and Steampowered.com (on average a purchase from both was made every three days at around $5)... Now that Tim's finally got debit, I bet next month's bill is gonna be straight steampowered.com.

 

[Krakn3Dfx]

It must suck to be a digital game distribution site that isn't Steam between now and January 2nd.

Might as well shut everything down to conserve power until the new year.

My credit card statements look exactly the same. :lol

Man, I miss Tim Horton's.

Starbucks is shit. Why's it gotta be so oily?

 

[Cat in the Hat]

Witcher and Lara Croft fucking bought son!

 

[Jive Turkey]

Caved in to Toki Tori.

$1.25 with Steam Cloud support makes a lot of sense.

Cloud support with these smaller games is almost a requirement for me now. It's so great to be able to switch between my gaming PC and laptop without any hassle.

 

[Dreohboy]

I'm broke and I still ended up spending the $5 I didn't have for The Witcher. .


DAMN YOU STEAM!!!

 

[big black woman]

does the lara croft game have online co-op with strangers?

 

[Borman]

Bought the Witcher and 2x Puzzle Quest. Not terrible. Not yet anyway.

 

[clav]

Yeah, I'm kinda disappointed how some titles haven't made it a priority like Super Meat Boy. I know I could sync it with Dropbox, but it's just a pain to go through making that when Steam Cloud is right there.

 

[Killthee]

does the lara croft game have online co-op with strangers?

The console version has matchmaking, I can't imagine the PC doesn't.

 

[British Monsoon]

So far I've picked up;

Burnout Paradise
Civ V DLC
Dimensity
Indie 2d Pack (Bullet Candy, Galcon Fusion, Geometry Wars, Super Laser Racer, VVVVVV)
Indie Flight Pack (Dogfighter, Everyday Shooter, Flotilla, Gratuitious Space Battles, Guns of Icarus)
Indie Mix Pack (Cogs, Darwinia, Defcon, Eufloria, Plain Sight)
The Polynomial
Prince of Persia
Super Meat Boy
Vegas: Make it Big
Zen Bound 2

For a total of £39.54.

I hate the fact that Steam sales can make me buy games I already own (PoP, Burnout, etc) just by pricing things so fucking cheap :lol

 

[Absoludacrous]

Picked up Disciples and Polynomial. Already have most of the other games either on PC or other platforms. Wish Arcana was cheaper, that and Risen were 2 games I was really hoping for.

 

[iamtheb]

I'd highly recommend Indie Kids Pack. It's well worth the $5 for Crayon Physics Deluxe alone, but when you include Max and the Magic Marker, Toki Tori, Delve Deeper, and, er, Secret of the Magic Crystals (pony/unicorn raising sim) it's a no brainer.

 

[Tokubetsu]

Own the Witcher DC on D2D already...thinking about dipping in again.

 

[denomes]

My credit card statements look exactly the same. :lol

Ditto.

 

[poppabk]

Why all the praise to defense grid? I personally found it to be way too difficult. I can't save all the cores even in the first stages of the game...

Maybe I'm putting the wrong towers, but the game doesn't give even a hint of what the best placement will be...

This of course is just my opinion

You don't have to save all the cores to win though. On some maps with two routes and two separate core stocks would just give up on one set altogether. The trick, as with all TD gamers, is to maximize distance traveled (not always possible in DG) and the amount of time that units are under attack from each tower, especially key upgraded towers.

 

[Jzero]

Definitely getting Burout

 

[Chris R]

So the difference between the daily deal and now was a whole 8% $2.40...

Why you gotta hurt me like this, Gabe.

Exactly why I think fo3 will still go lower

 

[DUFFMCWALIN]

Doesn't look like anything today for me. I already own it or am not interested. Sad.

 

[DickSauce]

Just double dipped on the Witcher. Going to replay so i can be ready for Witcher 2.

 

[JoeBoy101]

Aurora Engine. With a completely new rendering engine.

I stand corrected. Point being though, this game is not going to heavily tax your rig as long as its fairly decent.

 

[Davedough]

Finally! The Witcher is mine.

$16 yesterday, $5 today. Not a bad run so far.

 

[TrAcEr_x90]

so i can only use my ps3 controller as bluetooth with the motionjoy driver??? or is there a way to do it with it plugged in. If not, what kind of bluetooth dongle do i get?

supermeatboy is just laughing at me in my games list.

 

[Deleted member 10571]

Bought Burnout AND I DON'T EVEN LIKE RACING GAMES OH GODDAMMIT STEAM I HATE YOU


OH GOD

 

[LugNut74]

I'm still holding out for Maas Effect 2. It has to be one of the daily deals this year.

 

[jaundicejuice]

Feels good to max out Bad Company 2 and now I can't wait to see how The Witcher looks with the 460GTX.

The Witcher looks alright, not exactly a technical showpiece.

 

[Lostconfused]

This is so new to me, I am not sure how to feel. People are gushing about games on sale, that I already bought on sale last year.

 

[Killthee]

USB will also work. If you want a bluetooth dongle there's a link in the program to the one they recommend.

You can use a USB cable for the PS3 joypad just fine. You can even make it emulate a 360 pad perfectly. You're set.

 

[tahrikmili]

Bioshock 2 lists SecuROM as a requirement, does the game have non-Steam DRM? Also, what happened to Steam policy of explicitly showing non-Steam DRM?

 

[stuminus3]

Why didn't it occur to me to plug in one of my PS3 controllers via USB? I'm an idiot. :lol

Not that I'd use it for most games, anyway (I prefer my wired 360 controller) but there's a handful of games that make good use of the Dpad etc.

 

[SolarPowered]

Just got The witcher, Defense grid and Burnout.

Just another day on steam...

 

[Minsc]

Any advice on the Gothic series, Minsc?

Gothic 1 & 2 if you have a high tolerence for older games and hard to adjust to control schemes are incredible, 3 is supposed to be ok with the community patches, 4 not so great.

Better served with Risen, Two Worlds II, Divinity 2: Dragon Knight Saga, or Drakensang (and upcoming expansion) maybe be worth looking at first, sticking to the fantasy themed RPG. Otherwise there's F:NV of course.

Wha-Wha-WHAT!?!

Godamnit, now I got to get around and get that game finished. Number 2 looks mounds better to me than 1. But hero import? That's one of my kryptonite elements (player housing is another).

Yup. Pretty much everything except money should carry over (stats and much of the equipment). Devs said carrying money over would break the economy system of the new game.

No doubt in my mind Witcher 2 > Dragon Age 2. So therefor people should be playing The Witcher instead of Dragon Age!

The Witcher looks alright, not exactly a technical showpiece.

It can look beautiful at times. I enjoyed my recent playthrough on max everything settings very much, visually.

 

[TrAcEr_x90]

You can use a USB cable for the PS3 joypad just fine. You can even make it emulate a 360 pad perfectly. You're set.

the only video tutorial on their site was for a bluetooth dongle? thats why i am so confused when i bootup the motionjoy config

 

[DSN2K]

I hope Dreamfall and the Longest Journey go on sale, be wanting to pick them both up for about a year...
