Gah. That would just bug me every time I see them; I would have to throw it in a special category never to look at them.

Edit: Well, I'm never getting the Splinter Cell titles either.

UGH. Actually I think Splinter Cell takes the cake, but I'm not sure because I don't own all of them.

Just guessing, but:
Splinter Cell (1)
Splinter Cell Blacklist (6)
Splinter Cell Chaos Theory (3)
Splinter Cell Conviction (5)
Splinter Cell Double Agent (4)
Splinter Cell Pandora Tomorrow (2)

I don't think Pandora Tomorrow is on Steam though.

Didn't Assassin's Creed take the cake on this?

AssCreed's naming conventions are almost entirely consistent now. 3 is the only odd one out:

The games are out of chronological order, sure, but 3 aside that's just down to Brotherhood, Liberation and Revelations not being numbered entries.

I started off using puns based on what I was entering for (they were really bad), then numbers, now i just put the game I'm entering for. *shrugs*

edit: oh did you mean to register codes to give away? then register, yeah.

I just put the name of the game after "register".

I sometimes think about saying something along the lines of "register Papa & Yo and remember I'll support you during the revolt against humans" to try and curry favour, but I don't know for sure how it would respond.

Welcome fellow Gaffer. Always remember, we're always happy to talk to one and another in here, be it any questions or just some random turn of discussion like cheese curds in Canada.

Ah I mean when you PM to get the games/join a raffle, since the PM subject doesn't really matter

For some odd reason I always put "Yo! Modbot!"

What's the over/under on Ubisoft never changing the nomenclature of Assassin's Creed III?

Hey, Welcome to NeoGAF (and the NeoGAF Steam thread)!

Ah to get the games I actually just put the name of the game and the code. So for example F.E.A.R. -- MB-A8A6DE3228BB89CA.

That way I can look at my Sent PMs and make sure I don't accidentally attempt to enter twice. Which can happen to me as I switch between my home computer and mobile and forget easily.

Much appreciated for Arkham Asylum! <3

Also, welcome! :D Pizza's in the fridge. :3
 
I do really want to replay Silent Hill 2.
If you don't have it yet then it seems to be expensive for all of the platforms.

The Room? It was decent.
I know the game is decent, I actually like it a lot, but I heard that the PC version is extremely washed out and missing effects, or something along those lines. Could be total bunk though.

It's a nine year old game, it'll probably run well on modern hardware.
It can't be as bad as RE4, for sure.

Are the silent hill ports worth it? Resolution etc? I never beat a single silent hill before, although I have played at least 1 or 2.

There's a thread all about the Silent Hill ports running on PC.
"Guide to better HD collection or something like that"

Why all this talk of SH on PC is it getting releasing on steam?

Unfortunately no, it got brought up after the FFVIII coming to Steam news a little ways up. Mostly just pipe-dreams, I think. :(

Has anybody used the Logitech K400 wireless keyboard and mouse, and if so, how are you liking it? I know, wait for a Steam controller, but a keyboard would still be useful to have. I'm considering a trackball and keyboard combo as well, but I haven't found one with gaming-friendly ergonomics. Recommendations would be much appreciated.

Edit: I should add, I'm not looking to play mouse-intensive games, just mouse-requiring ones. BTW, how does Civ look on a TV? I should probably see if it's legible before buying an htpc keyboard :$
Civ looks fine on a TV, but, like any game with text in it, a lot depends on how big your TV is vs how far you sit vs how good your eyesight is.

Ahhh man. Silent Hill along with Resident Evil on steam would be easy money for Capcom and Konami. They already have PC ports.


With that said I wonder if Square Enix has plans for FF9 on PC.
It has no PC port true but 7 did well and i'm sure 8 will do just as well.
Guess it'll come down to if they want to do a bit of extra work.
 
The SH ports are all fairly barebones, half-assed port jobs, but they do work and shouldn't be too hard to get running on modern systems. I played through 2, 3 and 4 on my PC last year. 2 is the most crash-prone and buggy (have to disable multi-cores, sound glitches), but the others ran without much issue.

Whether Konami could ever be assed to re-release them, who knows.
