They don't seem to be EA, so I think you're good. I still play MW2 and it works fine.
Cool. Thanks!

Will definitely grab Burnout Paradise and Need for Speed Hot Pursuit. Shame about Origin though, wish they used Steam...
On the fence with Max Payne 3. It's only £19, but then again given the lukewarm reception, and if LA Noire is any indication, I might be able o pick it up for a fiver not much later.

No, you can play any multiplayer on any COD ever released on PC. The matchmaking is kinda slow depending on party size on MW2 though.
SP. I don't have any friends dumb enough to purchase it. Maybe when it hits 5$ I'll sucker a couple in.

LA Noire is not an indication. lol. Max Payne 3 probably had 10 times the budget.

lol no. LA Noire had a massive budget and an incredibly long development time too.

long development because they had problems yes
edit - I don't even care anyway, just saying LA Noires price drop was unusual for any game much less a rockstar produced game and not to be used as an indicator imo.

The R&D for their terrible face capture technique probably cost quite a bit as well.

should i get
The Darkness II or Spec Ops?

And that doesn't add to the production cost? LA Noire was one of the most expensive games ever made. It's probably not even possible for MP3's budget to be more than 2x LA Noire's, let alone 10x.

I vote for The Darkness II, because that looks pretty great and Spec Ops... Ugh, that setting alone has worn so thin to even look at by now, for me.
All I really remember about Spec Ops anyway is that they used to do terrible budget releases of them on the PSone back in the day for like 9.99 and they'd always chart and we'd laugh at that back when NeoGAF was Gaming-Age Forums.

I can vouch for Darkness 2 being a really solid pick up at that price point. The combat is quite fun and the game moves at a nice pace. The story won't hit anywhere near as hard if you haven't played the first game though.

Sounds like you guys are using the price action on the PC Download as your point of reference for L.A. Noire. This is silly.
The PC Download came out MONTHS after the console release, which was not heavily discounted out of the gate.
When the PC Download "Launched" the game was waaaaayyyyyyyy outside of the launch sales curve and well into the standard promotional period.
Contrasted to MP3, which was only off from day and date on the consoles by what? Weeks?
Cheers,

Yeah, I asked about this earlier.
I really doubt there was a PC port of VCS or that this is a downloadable code for the PSN version. I'm guessing this is true Vice City and it's a typo.
tony confirmed it was a typo several pages back, its vice city

COD2, 4, MW2, W@W, and Black Ops are all running strong!
It doesn't seem like he came to that $100mil figure correctly. An entire team of people making $100,000 each? lol

Oh no no no, please don't get drawn into sales-age discussions here. Next thing you know you will be posting here all day and find yourself out of a job and then who will tell us about upcoming Amazon sales? WHO?

I have been going back and forth all day but I think I am going to bite on Spec Ops.. I'm in the mood for a shooter and I am interested to see how their story goals actually work/don't.
EDIT: Forgot about Sales Tax kicking in for Texas today.. I hope the texas politicians enjoy their extra gold plated belt buckles.

.Well, I went into this sale thinking I was going to get at least MP3, Darkness 2, and Syndicate.
What I have come out with so far is simply Darkness 2 and, reading all about how the story is awesome, a big hankering for Spec Ops. Probably going to get it if the Steam sales roll around before the 14th and don't have it for less than 50% off.

So uhh Tony.
I'm not sure if you guys did this on purpose, but for the URL to the Spec Ops: The Line Pc download page
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0085NTITS/?tag=neogaf0e-20
The end of the URL, the games identifier I would assume, spells out Boobs and Tits.
Was this intentional? If not, that's god damn hilarious.

Is Arma 2: CO still going to get a discount? Also, any chance of Steam keys for it?
Thanks.
Thanks.

Lol, those unique identifiers are randomly generated...but yes, that has been brought up in the office, and chuckled about, multiple times.

I was very reluctant to buy Spec Ops at first.
But then I jumped in. The game is getting better and better by the minute. Its really sucking me in.
The game (just minutes ago) Just put me into a situation where I had no choice but to act, and the outcome left me mortified.
The last time I felt that mortified because of a game was "No Russian" from Modern Warfare 2.
Well worth the $25 so far.
I heard good things about the story but everybody was saying the gameplay wasn't good (and I really didn't like the demo either). I ended up reading the story on wikipedia and now I really regret it. I should had "fought" through the subpar gameplay to experience the story which is quite good.

Yay for GAF help on Max Payne running well on my comp. All I got were jokes about hardware, and game doesn't even start up.

It's not working with your setup??

What are your specs? Where is the game installed?
JustProgress

Installed wherever Steam put it. Already tried taking out spaces and registry editing per the Steam forums. Specs are probably irrelevant because the game literally can't boot up but to the legal screen.

Still waiting confirmation, hoping we get it tomorrow. I'm aiming for next week, not set yet though so I can't confirm.

Syndicate is a lot better than I figured it'd be, game has some seriously great style and weight to it. Kinda feels like the whole Killzone gig done properly. I wouldnt drop sixty on it, because it takes a pretty incredible piece of software to get me to even consider that, and I'm not big on FPS's, but this is a nice game for the 15 bucks.
Too bad they didn't just... call it something else. Probably would've wound up a little more positive on the cult side of things if they didn't have to slap an unnecessary franchise onto it.

Thanks, Tony! Appreciate all the info and promo work you're doing here!
Or if they made a traditional installment alongside this. I half expect that if the FPS X-com isn't an outright piece of shit it's going to be received WAY better as a result of the traditional game's existence.
