I purchased some weird black and white platformer for 49 cents. Can't remember its name but a steam friend wrote a positive recommendation for it.

The Misadventures of PB Winterbottom

 

[Cereal KiIIer]

Fucking Valve. They've done it. I bought Railworks 2. I hate myself.

 

[Drkirby]

I have been enjoying Hacker Evolution included in the Indy Future Pack, fun little game, but lots of typing. Also, since your "percent to being tracked down" number doesn't go down between levels, it is possible to screw your self early on. I do dislike how they gave away a decent chunk of the plot right at the start and didn't let you find it out for your self, but maybe their will be more twists.

Hey stupid question, I am running out of space on the hard drive I have Steam installed, is it possible to switch the directory where the games are downloaded to? I was going through some of the options in the Steam front end and didn't see it.

If not, is there a workaround for it? (deleting Steam and reinstalling it to other drive/partition)

I followed this guide of the Steam Support Knowledge Base.

Once I get bully I'll have almost every game of note in the R* pack except manhunt(which I'd love to have on PC).

I'm kind of tempted by Railworks since the sim genre does sound kind of appealing.

One drive... :/ Oh well, I'll see what I can do.


That said: Off-topic? On-topic? You decide.

http://www.humblebundle.com/

As discussed here: Humble Bundle just got awesomer. It now includes the original bundle for free to those that were the first ones to purchase bundle # 2. Also, for current purchasers, pay an amount more than the average to get all 11 games (Average is currently at $7.32).

Best of all (this is where it becomes On-topic), they are steam compatible! Get on with it for it includes:

World of Goo
Aquaria
Gish
Lugaru HD
Penumbra Overture
Samorost 2
Braid
Cortex Command
Machinarium
Osmos
Revenge of the Titans

+ Soundtracks for Machinarium, Osmos, Revenge of the Titans and Samorost 2


All for a minimum of $7.32!!

I just got the gift bundle for my cousin and I'll get one for myself(I want Aquaria, Lugaru, cortex, machinarium and revenge of the titans).

Thanks for the link dude.

The more I think about it and the more days have passed without seeing mount&blade, europa and hearts of iron on the daily sales, the more I feel that taking the plunge and buy the entire Paradox's catalog it's the right thing to do.

I'll most likely get the mega pack on this one. It's probably one of the best packs on steam at the moment.

Do the right thing, bro!

[webrunner]

COD4MW should have been $10, and I have a strange urge to buy Just Cause 2 without having a single clue about it.. $10 and below price point really sells.

GAF, do you recommend Just Cause 2? I played the demo for JC1 on XBOX360 and the game had very loose driving, poor shooting, and a really awful looking main character..

I think you should buy it? Why? Just 'cause.

 

[Wallach]

Fucking Valve. They've done it. I bought Railworks 2. I hate myself.

Better jump on that DLC quick before it goes back up to full price! :lol

 

[Jive Turkey]

I know! Who the hell is buying this DLC at full price? It must be AWESOME.

It's designed for model train fanatics who don't have the space or money (yes you read that correctly) for their hobby.

 

[alf717]

Fucking Valve. They've done it. I bought Railworks 2. I hate myself.

That game was always expensive and now it is only $6. Still the DLC is insanely priced, I guess people love their train sims.

 

[Nekobo]

How big is the download for JC2?

 

[SolarPowered]

Better jump on that DLC quick before it goes back up to full price! :lol

I saw the DLC and thought it was not so bad for three pieces if they're big... until I look down and see that it's only three of sixty-nine pieces of fucking DLC!

no thanks...

 

[dream]

How big is the download for JC2?

It's small from what I remember. A little over 4 gigs?

 

[Pimpbaa]

How is the PC version of Bully? The 360 version was an unoptimized POS.

 

[mantidor]

I bought the flight pack back in black friday, but it doesn't have guns of icarus, is it worth $3?

 

[Zombie James]

Decided against Bully (bad port, apparently) and Trials 2 (still working through Trials HD)... Railworks 2 is in the my cart, oh God.

 

[Dice]

Technically, yes. But don't expect any Bay-splosions. The trains basically just jump track and "semi" fall apart. Nothing spectacular.

(Yes, this was the first thing I tried when I bought the game a few weeks ago! :lol )

Sounds like we need Railworks 3 by Criterion.

 

[An-Det]

Definitely getting Bully, AVP, and Spore. I am tempted on Assassin's Creed 2, since Ubisoft never released the fucking Game of the Year edition with the dlc for the 360 in the US.

 

[dream]

Bully isn't a bad port...

 

[Shaneus]

Another day I can pretty much tell my PayPal account to lay idle. One or two on there I'm tempted to get (AC2 was a definite, but only <$10) like Trials 2 (though I already have HD on 360) but given that I'm not super-keen, I'll leave it.

So happy

 

[Firehead]

Decided against Bully (bad port, apparently) and Trials 2 (still working through Trials HD)... Railworks 2 is in the my cart, oh God.

They released a patch that fixes the problems with Bully; it's now a good port!

 

[SpaceDrake]

I'm actually going to be going for that deal on Modern Warfare since I haven't actually played it yet; if nothing else, it's such an influential force in the industry at this point that I figure I should pick it up for research purposes, if nothing else.

Also am I the only one who skipped out on Super Meat Boy's deal because I wanted to pay more for it, or am I just strange like that :x

I may also pick up Spore but my backlog is getting pretty epic at this point.

 

[tahrikmili]

Just Cause 2 is a Buy for me then..
Can't decide on Spore though.. Tough..

Does either JC2 or Spore have non-Steam DRM? Yeah I'll be asking this for every game I want to buy. :lol

 

[wrowa]

I can't run The Wither I always get the "Your system doesn't met the minimum requirements" error message when I try to start the game. Is there any way to avoid that error?

My specs:
i3-350 @ 2,27GHz
GeForce GT325 / 1GB RAM
4GB RAM

It's far from being a high-end PC, but if I estimate it correctly the specs are actually above the required specs of the game? The PC also has one of these integrated Intel HD gpus, might that one be the problem (like Witcher isn't recognizing the "real" GPU but only the integrated one)?

 

[UrbanRats]

Still nothing bought..there must be something wrong, i'm developing a massive amount of self control.
Tomorrow, i'll phone the doc.

 

[Mairu]

If you don't want to move the entire directory, you can also just use directory junctions to split games among partitions.

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896768.aspx

Basically it treats the directory like a shortcut and lets you not have to change anything within steam, you just create junctions for each game folder and have those folders on a different partition. A lifesaver for SSDs <3

Evil person! You should have bought two and gifted one to someone without any interest in the game! Spread the word!

 

[Deleted member 10571]

Spore for my dad - yes or no? Never played it.

 

[Drkirby]

Sounds like we need Railworks 3 by Criterion.

Just make it DLC.

 

[SpacePirate Ridley]

Nothing for me today. I had Just Cause 2 from the treasure hunt.
Gifted a friend Bully 2 for christmas, have it in wii already and was awesome.

 

[Huevos de Oro]

How hard is Winterbottom? There's no demo, and the video makes it look a bit imposing for my admittedly inadequate cerebral patterns.

Of course at $.49 it seems like a crime to ask for recommendations. :lol

 

[Corto]

It's designed for model train fanatics who don't have the space or money (yes you read that correctly) for their hobby.

Exactly! For those curious, just browse Märklin's online store to get a picture the money involved in that hobby:

Good idea. That's just unhealthy man.

 

[Zombie James]

Really?

 

[MehsterChief]

Didn't want any of the daily deals. Bought Evil Genius for 1,49€ as compensation. Ridiculous.

 

[TrAcEr_x90]

aliens vs predator worth it??? was it at least sort of a good game?

 

[Firehead]

Really?

Mmhmm

 

[UrbanRats]

Just Cause 2 is a Buy for me then..
Can't decide on Spore though.. Tough..

Does either JC2 or Spore have non-Steam DRM? Yeah I'll be asking this for every game I want to buy. :lol

You can check for yourself, AFAIK:

On the right of the steam page, in the info box.
I don't know if it's always exact, though.

 

[stuminus3]

Really?

Yes!

Should be added to the OP - Bully is awesome on PC, buy it!

 

[Kodiak]

Tempted to buy just cause 2 but wary because of upcoming travel expenses and probably never getting around to play it.

But...

Humble Indie Bundle 2 for the mother fucking win!

 

[Caoz]

After looking at the price of Assasins 2, the only game i was looking forward to buy, the price for RE5 doesn't seem that bad.

 

[Diomedeskun]

Decided against Bully (bad port, apparently) and Trials 2 (still working through Trials HD)... Railworks 2 is in the my cart, oh God.

No... get Bully... it's a really fantastic port now.

 

[Majeh]

How big is the download for JC2?

4.8GB

 

[Pimpbaa]

aliens vs predator worth it??? was it at least sort of a good game?

Yup. I thought it was worth it at full price.

 

[amrod]

JC2 .. anyone else find the whole graphing hook thing buggy (using xbox 360 controller)

 

[dragonlife]

How hard is Winterbottom? There's no demo, and the video makes it look a bit imposing for my admittedly inadequate cerebral patterns.

Of course at $.49 it seems like a crime to ask for recommendations. :lol

Wow, I had no idea it was going for this price.

Bought

 

[TrAcEr_x90]

Yup. I thought it was worth it at full price.

shiiit.....i havent even played all the games from the last steam sale....

 

[Wessiej]

So what are the must have mods for Just Cause 2?

 

[drizzle]

JC2 .. anyone else find the whole graphing hook thing buggy (using xbox 360 controller)

Hook Mechanics are kind the opposite of what you expect. If you hold it, it'll just shoot the hook and expect you to hook the other end to something else (by pointing and release).

if you want to pull yourself, you have to just tap the hook button, it will then shoot and retract automatically, taking you to the place you want to go.

So what are the must have mods for Just Cause 2?

Idiots will tell you to get the infinite ammo mod.

I'll tell you to use no mods. MAYBE the infinite hooks one.
