Positive I love you for telling me this.

I wonder if my Mac Mini (latest refresh, 4GB ram) would be able to run this at the lowest settings? I usually only have that on due to power consumption, and this seems like the perfect game to have in the background when I feel like taking a turn

I used to play it on my late 2009 Mac Mini (2.53ghz), and it ran ok on lowest settings.

GTA Classics is the weekend deal.

Not for Germany

In for one!... great price!

 

[Moobabe]

I could go for Vice City for that price....

 

[Catshade]

Does anybody know how well the older GTAs run on a Win 7 machine?

I may get GTA 3.

One thing to note, GTA 1 and 2 were made free from rockstar years ago.

One thing to note, you can't actually buy them from Steam, they only come as a bonus for the pack. No money can be transferred to anyone for these games specifically.

Update.

November 4, 2010 - Steam client update released

A Steam client update is now available. To apply the update, click the File menu inside of Steam and then select "Check for Steam Client Updates...". The specific changes include:

Steam

• Fixed a crash when receiving and merging updated data for stats/achievements in some situations
• Fixed sometimes failing to fully recognize a game as exited for certain launcher app setups
• Fixed navigating to game guides in the store
• Fixed Steam Cloud bug where users who converted from the demo to the full version of Everyday Genius: SquareLogic, Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light, or Jolly Rover would have their progress reverted to the progress they made in the demo while opted into the beta
• Fixed community chat bug
• Fixed displaying Steam Service dialog under OSX
• Fixed a couple rare crashes and added more instrumentation around potential memory corruption
• Fixed Steam API logging
• Improve tooltips support under OSX
• Added installer support under OSX for an upcoming game release

Is the Steam version of San Andreas moddable?

 

[The M.O.B]

Shattered Horizon and Lead & Gold free weekend goes live tonight at 11pm GMT!! Finally

I highly encourage everyone to try out Lead & Gold!

Its a great game, but lacking players

 

[BobsRevenge]

So asides from Orange Box & L4D, what is good on steam for Mac users? Any recommendations?

Definitely pick up Osmos and World of Goo.

 

[Moobabe]

I'll be trying out both with a view to purchasing SH for sure. I'll keep an open mind about Lead and Gold though - I've played it before but the lack of players really kills it.

It's funny that you should say that because Shattered Horizon typically has one active server of about 6 to 10 people at any given point in time.

As far as I'm aware you don't even need Steam running to launch the "classic" GTA games (you can run the exe files directly from the steamapps folder), so probably.

Oooh, someone else with the latest mini. We should compare notes!

I played it on my friends PC the last time a free weekend rolled around but there was no way my pc could handle it. This time though - it's mine. I just hope that other people do as well.

 

[toastyToast]

Can someone help me out with buying GTA Vice City? It isn't available in Australia for some reason.

 

[JADS]

Is the Steam version of San Andreas moddable?

No, modding support was disabled after the whole hot coffee "mod". For some bizarre reason the steam version also doesn't support widescreen resolutions. The original retail version did. Both can be enabled again by:
1. Downloading a NOCD crack for version 1.0.
2. Overwrite your gta_sa steam version with it.
3. Have fun with mods and widescreen support.

Why doesn't the steam pack include GTA London 1969 and 1961? I know that they did poorly at retail, but GTA1 and 2 are free. So why not include both of them

 

[BioHazard]

What is the Lead & Gold and Shatter Horizons weekend thing people are talking about? I don't see it, is it Europe only or something?

 

[Kerrinck]

Can anyone help me out getting GTA 3? Apparently it is not available in my region.

 

[Nabs]

:lol damn supreme commander 2 is cheap as hell @ $5 bucks

and yet i still don't want it

Oh my god thank you so much for this. I've been wanting to play MTA for so long.

 

[Ataturk]

Do GTA 1 and 2 work with Vista? I remember having trouble getting them to run when they were released for free.

 

[MoFuzz]

:lol damn supreme commander 2 is cheap as hell @ $5 bucks

Yeah dude, strategy games all got put on notice as soon as that other RTS came out in the summer.

 

[ZZMitch]

Is there anyway to keep Steam from pausing the downloads of games whenever my PC goes into sleep mode?

It is getting very annoying.

I'm not sure you realize how sleep mode works...

That is, unless you meant to ask "How do I prevent my PC from going into sleep mode when I have Steam downloads going?"

It's a great game, If your interested in it I would recommend to pick it up.

I am gonna pick up the DLC for it.

 

[MoFuzz]

Yeah, that's what I meant, I worded it wrong.

Haha, fair enough. At least we get a chuckle out of it this way.

Are you running Windows 7? It should be in the power options section of your control panel. You'll see tons of settings there like turn off hard drives or go into sleep mode after 30 minutes of inactivity. Make sure all that crap is disabled and you'll be fine.

 

[Stumpokapow]

bought gta pack for gta1/2 even though i know they're both available for free somewhere out there.

i've never actually played vanilla gta3, just vc and sa, so this could be neat anyway

 

[Stallion Free]

Lmao, the only thing that can beat paying 5$ for TF2 items (Poker Night) is the new Call of Duty at 60$. Fuck Steam shows some amazing things about their community.

 

[darkpaladinmfc]

Yeah dude, strategy games all got put on notice as soon as that other RTS came out in the summer.

Regardless, I've heard it's been heavily dumbed down so it could be ported to 360 easily from the beginning.

 

[FlyinJ]

Supreme Commander 2 is on sale for $5.10

 

[Lackmus]

Does the GTA-games work well on Windows 7 64-bit?

 

[Moobabe]

Shattered Horizon and Lead & Gold are now on offer! £10 for both isn't too bad at all. No sign of the free weekend yet though

 

[SapientWolf]

Regardless, I've heard it's been heavily dumbed down so it could be ported to 360 easily from the beginning.

I heard SupCom 1 fans use this argument to justify denigrating a game that they never bothered to put any time or effort into. It's not the SupCom sequel everyone wanted but it's far from "dumbed down."

Gas Powered has done a great job of post release support and at $5 it's easily one of the best RTS values out there.

Did you buy CoD:BO? If so, you're part of the problem!

Spoiler

But so am I

I was planning to buy Poker Night with out the TF2 items, the items are just a bonus.

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

So is bit.trip beat really that good? I love games like Rez and play a lotta old school shit, but Audiosurf bores me to tears...

I'd really like to have something good to play.

Yeah, it's a really fun, polished game in its own right.

Still don't know if I'm going to bother buying the DLC, though, as I don't really see myself ever getting into MP at this point.

 

[Toma]

Supreme Commander 2 is on sale for $5.10

Several reviews advise taking the first one over the second due to having more depth and a few other things. Anyone has some thoughts on that? I would probably pick up only one of the two.

Saw the posts above me too late, but the question stands: If only picking up one, Sup1 or Sup2?

You need to come clean if you want to have any hope of dealing with your issues.

Woah - SupCom 2 is $5.10? It's £5.10 here

 

[Toma]

Yeah and 8,50€ in Germany.. Which is about what? 7 Pounds? For 5$ I would probably pick it up without thinking about Sup1.

 

[Moobabe]

Something like that :S At least I'm better off in the knowledge that someone, somewhere, has it worse than I do

Now I only need to find someone who needs to pay more than I do. Where are the australians when you need them?!

I don't get why continental Europe always gets the shorter end of the stick on Steam.
Luckily none of this weekend's offers interest me, I already bought 4 games on the service within last week.

Aren't they asleep or something? Those crazy bastards, I never know what they're up to on that side of the planet

10:30 AM in Sydney. I just need to sit here and wait until one of them shows up..

The first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem. The second step is to decide that you're okay with having a problem, and then buy more Steam games.
