Got my Just Cause 2 disc from GoGamer, typed the code into steam, and started downloading. The box and disc just lost all meaning.

My Saints Row 2 disc shipped with a BB sized indentation in it. So of course it didn't work in the disc drive but Steam allowed me download and install anyway. Later I found out that the person who put the hole in it was only trying to do the world a favor.The Big Rig said:

The only benefit of having a lot of games on Steam is that when the sales come, there is less opportunity for Valve to make you their bitch... oh wait, the less games you want = the more games you already bought =(

Why not install from disc? Should be faster, no?The Big Rig said:

Disgaea 2 is like, the best grinding game ever. You can literally grind for a good 300-400 hours in that game before getting everything you need.

Not if you have really fast internet! My internet isn't quite fast enough (25mbps), but even then, Modern Warfare 2 only takes about 45 minutes to download. Plenty of people here probably have 50/100mbit lines. I think the MW2 disc install takes around 30 minutes. So yeah.
If the Go somehow manages to get to 75% off at Target (Right now its clearanced out at 30%, but Black Friday is also coming so they may all just fly off the shelves then), I am getting it without second thought. I own about a dozen PSN titles, and I am pretty sure they still have the "Get 3 games to PLEASE BUY THESE UNSELLING PIECES OF HARDWARE 
"
"I hope the complete digital pack of the Magic the Gathering goes on sale for $10 sometime soon, would love to pick it up at that price. Also would really love it if Yugioh was put up. The cards have gotten a bit whacky now, but the basic game is still damn good IMO.

Well I only have measly 2mbit but even then I have a retail copy of JC2 and from what I remember it didn't take 30 minutes to install. Point taken though. It's funny how internet can be faster now than lan connections back in the days.TheExodu5 said:

I bought it last time for $10 and am freaking loving it. What a great game. Of course they've since released a new expansion, so now I need to pick up that on sale (I'm still only like 50% through the original content. It's a great pick up, play for 5 minutes, put back down again game.) Unfortunately I kind of suck at Magic and sometimes the computer at normal still kicks my ass. Freaking blue...

Frozen Synapse is heading to Steam when it's finished:

Everyone complained about XCom and Front Mission being shooters but the Frozen Synapse thread never even made it past 2 pages. I thought people wanted more turn based stuff.crimsonheadGCN said:

Man, when is Dungeon Defenders coming out!?!?!?!

Delayed to January. They mentioned in the forums that the game is pretty much done and they're working on free DLC in the intervening months. I'm speculating that they missed their November XBLA slot and MS won't let them release the game on other platforms first.MisterNugNug said:

Two Worlds 2 complete and DOW2 Retribution free weekend beta added to registry. Not sure when these two will actually hit the store.

Well, the game still would have been delayed even without the requirement for a simultaneous launch. Just not as long, I guess.Stallion Free said:
The silver lining is that the Android and iOS versions are scheduled for December.
LovingSteam said:
I am getting to this point. I have a short list of games I am hoping to get during the Thanksgiving or Xmas sales, but it won't be like last year where I buy 60 titles (half of those were pop cap games).
What I am hoping for:
Dead Space - $5 (to replace my 360 version)
Batman: AA GOTY - $10-15 (missed the last sale)
Fallout GOTY - $15-20 (another 360 replacement. I have seen it for $30 regular price in retail. Steam needs to drop the $50 price tag now that New Vegas is out)
Just Cause 2 - $7.50-15
Bad Company 2 - $5-10
Last Remnant - $10
In addition to those 6, there are always going to be some indie games that are on sale for between $1-5 that I will impulse buy, and a few surprises that are too good to pass up. I would also consider Civ 5 if it has a decent discount (say 35-50%).

I feel like there's no skill involved. I guess that's more a complaint with MtG in general than this iteration, but it doesn't help that you can't build your own deck.coopolon said:

I'd love all the Fallout 3 DLC to be 75% off since I already own Fallout 3 vanilla on Steam
Yeah well, I need to admit that not having the possibility of creating your own decks except from choosing the preset extra cards for each deck is very limiting. But I had matches with a friend that could very well last 4 hours trying to consider every strategy and possibility. Played with the right guys you need MUCH strategy/skill. Its a bit like chess in that regard. Relatively simple after the game opening but you need lots of skill to actually win, even if you have a good deck, if you are playing against another good player.Schmattakopf said:

Without deck building it certainly leaves out a huge part of MtG. But at least back when I played MtG, it always seemed like everyone pretty much built the same decks anyway because for that edition they had proven to be the best decks.
I certainly find some matches where I don't get enough land or my opponent doesn't and whoever has the mana wins. But most of the games I find myself thinking, would this be better or would that be better, and I still lose games sometimes that I think I could have won if I'd done something differently. But I'm by no means a great MtG player, I was one of the worst in my group of friends back in middle school, and I haven't played since so I'm probably even worse now.
It's fun for me because it really provides the streamlined experience I'm looking for and satisfies that itch quickly and competently.

Yeah, if you aren't in the US, it's pretty much required to ask about the prices in this thread and get stuffed gifted like in this case.wmat said:

I'd rather have the DLC at $15 since I already have the base game, why further clutter my games list by having Fallout 3 on it twice?

Hey does anyone have Dragon Age and Mass Effect 2? Do they run similarly? I only played Dragon Age on PS3 and think it would be a lot better on PC. I played the Mass Effect 2 demo max everything & 60fps and perfect, but then Fallout 3, while smooth in gameplay, seems to be a bit "hitchy" in the visuals no matter what the settings, which The Witcher (probably running 200fps lol) also does.

You should be able to run DAO fine if you run ME2 maxed out.Dice said:
