I've often heard of people speak wel of Duex Ex but have never played it myself, is it still worth picking up or has it not aged well?

It still shits on pretty much every modern game from great heights. If it's "too old" for you then you should just give up games or something.

Are there any texture packs or anything to bring Deus Ex up some or is it best played as is??

Texture packs and graphical mods (bloom) look like shit in Deus Ex. Just grab these two:

and enjoy that shit classic style.

Holding off on Alpha Protocol for now.

Strange, I just bought Alpha Protocol and Steam confirmed the purchase, but it kicked me off afterwards and I cant log back in.

That's part of the game. Alpha Protocol has just been initiated. You're on your own agent.

 

[Stallion Free]

did you invest in stealth? I think my tactic involved patience, running away, and going invisible. the ways you had to take them down certainly looked silly. Like, one boss fight was won by running in circles and having the boss get confused by a ledge.

The Russian boss was painful with Stealth maxed (BECAUSE STEALTH KO'S DON'T WORK ON BOSSES) and melee was just tedious and so it made the boss really painful for me.

[Nabs]

[confused]

How's Prototype ? it's 10 euros here and looks mighty tempting.

Plus I think it works with Unreal engine Direct3D 10 renderer.

just get a separate renderer and you should be fine. (a link to one: http://kentie.net/article/d3d10drv/)

it has a lot options for addition effects, but I think Deus Ex 1 looks fine if you just perfect the image quality and give it proper widescreen.

It's on like Donkey Kong™

*starts by making a wishlist*

So, who feels like playing some Multiplayer ProtoGalaxy?

 

[snack]

Time to pimp up my wishlist!

 

[Lasthope106]

I don't know, but I'm not expecting much from this sale. Valve can't go all out this weekend as that would diminish the impact of the holiday sale in December. I don't remember the sale last year having jaw dropping deals.

 

[Archie]

You can rank items in your wishlist now, btw. I wonder if the contest covers preorders. *Puts Portal 2 and The Witcher 2 in the top spots just in case*

 

[Stumpokapow]

Ranked wishlists, huh?

 

[Volcynika]

I was going to make a new thread for it but it seems this one is the one we're sticking to I guess?

Iono!

 

[Diomedeskun]

I only still want 2 of my top 5, will have to trim list when I get home, since you can't from the website.

 

[evlcookie]

Alpha protocol is $12.50 in the AUS store. Boooo!

I take it borderlands isn't the goty version? Kinda eh then. Might wait until xmas.

 

[Edgeward]

Since we're on the topic of discussing Alpah Protocol, what are the essential skills I should put my points into to make the combat as least frustrating as possible?

Can anyone confirm on any Borderlands DLC deal? I would like to go past 58 now that I've played the game to death and want some new missions.

 

[dream]

I'll get in on a Boarderland's 6 pack at that price.

I'm down if someone wants to put it together.

You can, just make sure you're logged into the community site as well

With hi-res textures the game looks ok. It still feels clunky at first, but after an hour or so you'll forget about that and will just play, because the game is THAT good :]

 

[Joe Molotov]

My Top 5, just cuz.

DLC is still full price.

Pistols + Stealth

 

[Lkr]

fucking Valve, putting things I own on sale

Invest your skill points in at least one gun, pistol if you really want to be stealthy. Ignore hand to hand combat, it's only useful for take downs and putting skill points in that doesn't make those any easier.

Okay. I think that makes 4 people now?

Not true, there were some great deals last year as well. The holiday sale is much bigger version of this sale, but the daily deals are definitely worth jumping on, because even if they show up again in the holiday sale the prices will likely be the same.

Anyway some good deals today, indie game pack is totally worth it, I own a couple of those Galcon Fusion is pretty awesome. Borderlands and Prototype are also recommended.

Im eying Sam & Max and Alpha Protocol, worth it?

Everybody who can put Bloodlines in your wishlist do it now!

 

[Prophet Steve]

10 times Half Life 2 for 20 euros, damn you Valve. Luckily I already have most of the games I want so today isn´t that expansive.

 

[Salaadin]

Thanks for the renderer links guys.

How do I change my wishlist order? I can sort by rank but not change the actual rank.

 

[Kabouter]

My Top 5, just cuz.

Settlers 7. Fine choice. Love that game.

You're not signed in.

Yes, I know you signed in, but look up. You're not signed in. You have to sign in twice to edit your wishlist.

 

[fallengorn]

Can't wishlist the deluxe digital edition of Mass Effect 2? Lame.

 

[confused]

Everybody who can put Bloodlines in your wishlist do it now!

It was already in my wishlist, but I did just move it to the top.

 

[ClovingWestbrook]

I wonder if the wish list contest includes games not out yet like Rage and Portal 2

 

[Drkirby]

Come on, I know two dozen of you have already implus bought the Indy pack, who is up for some ProtoGalaxy! I have no clue how the game is, but its muliplayer and looks fun. My steam ID if you can't guess it is Drkirby.

You were right on both accounts. Thanks.

 

[Maddness]

yay! A Steam Sale that's always around my Birthday! I love steam.

 

[Schmattakopf]

I swear I stopped checking Steam/GAF as soon as the sales started.

I would buy that indie pack but I own 3/5.

 

[AcridMeat]

It is upon us!!!!

 

[Basileus777]

No sale for Borderlands GOTY? Ugh.

 

[Toma]

I swear I stopped checking Steam/GAF as soon as the sales started.

I would buy that indie pack but I own 3/5.

Still cheaper to buy the pack for 5$ than the 2 remaining individual games.

 

[Shaneus]

Aaaand already I can see that Australians are getting fucked over. Do we have an official thread for this sale or can someone post the US prices? I know at least Alpha Protocol is half the price o/s than here.

As usual, I'm going to spend more time praying for gifting and navigating around PayPal than actually buying shit.

 

[Teknoman]

These packs are practically made for gaf and other forums. They arent bad at all.

Borderlands is great on PC too. I only recently started playing it again but I got it mostly maxed at 1920x1080 and MLAA and its damn sexy to look at.

How far along are you? I've been looking for people to join in co-op.

EDIT: Whoo, people buying packs = more co-op

 

[Prophet Steve]

According to the rules you have to have at least 10 titles in your wishlist, so get on it!
