It's a decent action game, but awesome fan service if you love Star Wars. Easily worth the price for pretty much any Star Wars fan. The bonus (DLC from the console versions initially) levels are oh so sweet.

It's a great game. Not sure where you heard that it was shitty? But even as a non-Star Wars fan I enjoyed it.

It's an action-rpg set in the star wars universe with a pretty decent story and great gameplay.

The PC port is fine and runs great and looks great after a couple of patches.

Picked up TFU and also Jolly Rover, which I was interested in when it came out, but I didn't really want to drop $20 on. $5 however...

I have the Wii version and PC version, both have their Pros and Cons...

PC version is an auto-buy just for the bonus Hoth level where you are a super Sith and fight

Really interested in the SW collection. When does the deal end? I'm going to need some time to think about this. 50 bucks right now can go a long way for me. Hmm.

Ohh my dumb ass younger brother somehow managed to get his Steam account hacked this weekend and he got it back within 24 hours (I walked him through submitting a ticket to support on the phone on Saturday and when I got home on Sunday he told me he was back in business). Not shabby.

It got a lot of mediocre reviews/reactions and I can see where that comes from. It has its moments but it's not consistently good, and the 360 version at least had glitches.

I don't know if it's still relevant, but several sites marked the PC version down for normal lazy port problems.

Is there any way to get Dark Forces to look a little better (runs like dogshit too), there's nothing like Jdoom for it?
Click to expand...

There isn't any graphical mods, the engine is apparently very hard to work with. You can make it run better by going into the dark forces folder (Steam\Steamapps\Common\Dark Forces), edit the dosbox.conf in notepad and increase the value of the cycles field. I upped it to 40000 and it runs smooth as butter now.

It'd not a bad game. It's just unpolished. It's a solid rental or something you buy for cheap. It's worth $7.50.

The Force Unleashed might be worth $7.50, but it's definitely not worth half my monthly bandwidth quota. Jesus.

Every time someones mentions bandwidth quotas I am again baffled they exist and people stand for them.

What's even the point of having a fast internet connection if you're on a quota.

Make a custom URL.

Honestly for Dark Forces I just someone remade it in the Doom engine so I could play it in zDoom the way I do Wolfenstein 3D (fucking excellent remake).

Yeah everytime I read something like that I feel sorry for the person who wrote it :( Although 60 GB per month should be more than enough for normal use unless you download huge amounts of stuff each month.

Wow, I love that Valve is adding Steam Wallet. I used to only deposit a set amount per month for my game purchases via Paypal. Helped me limit myself.

Now, I can just use my credit card to deposit and finally say goodbye to Paypal's fees!

Well what would you do about it? I either put up with a quota, or I don't have broadband. It sucks but you have to live with it.

It's an unfortunate reality of internet in Canada :( Most (all?) of the major ISPs have extremely frugal caps, and are very reluctant to raise them. It sucks.

Maybe for a single person on a slow month, but if you buy games through digital services like Steam and stream a lot of video, it can get used up very quickly. It's going to get really dicey when Netflix opens up here soon if something doesn't change.

It's worth noting bell sells bandwidth cap extensions for $5/40GB. And you can buy multiple. I have the standard 60GB cap and I added 2 on.

I would like to purchase TFU but am also concerned about bandwidth,

Can anyone confirm the actual download size of TFU please?, on the previous page someone said it's closer to 15gb download and 30gb once installed, is correct?
