So how good is Magicka? I've been thinking about it but it hasn't piqued my interest. I may buy the complete version that's on sale now.

best co-op game since l4d, if you have 3 other friends then's it's going to be a blast, even at the original price you get a lot of game play if you just play it once . I kinda just wished it was harder


(might just buy one or two copies of Magicka for future bday presents)

Is the DLC for Bioshock 2 still going to be released? I will buy both Bioshock's if so.

 

[Stumpokapow]

Would have picked up the Bioshocks if I didn't have to reset my credit card because I lost my wallet yesterday :/

Bioshock 2 is way underrated.

Let me know your Steam information and I'll gift you both, you can gift me something off my wishlist or just Paypal me the money when you get your new credit card in the mail. Just send me a PM here.

According to The Big DRM List, Bioshock 2 uses GFWL and SecuROM (unlimited activations). Caveat emptor for those who are concerned about such things.

 

[Ickman3400]

Now I'm getting Shogun 2 and Dragon Age 2 updates. EVERYTHING'S UPDATING AHHHH

edit: It seems the DA2 update fixed DX11 on nvidia gpus

 

[bengraven]

I really really think I should grab Bioshock. It's one of the games I never finished that I'm more embarrassed by.

Would also like to know this. I'd be down for a Bioshock 2 four pack if so.

Supposedly, yes.

 

[LyR]

thank god I waited, almost bought Bioshock 2 for 15 euros last christmas sale ...

4,99 is the way to go (wow, I sound so cheap)

 

[Sanic]

Mechanically Bioshock 2 is superior to the first and was a bit underrated in that regard I thought. Level design is a bit of a toss up, story and such favors BS1.

see magicka is on sale
buy it
see that the mackia bundle with dlc is on sale
i am a derp

Ah you're alright. My friend just bought them for me. Thanks though You're my favourite mod.

 

[Stallion Free]

Btw Bioshock has pretty much perfect pad support for the 360 pad while Bioshock 2 has jackshit.

 

[Gully State]

I think I'll bite on this one. I'm in the Bioshock didn't need a sequel camp but $5 is too good to pass up and I've heard nothing but great things about Minerva's den.

 

[FlyinJ]

Also, I seem to be getting a 200-300mb patch for Empire Total War on Steam but no news as to what it is yet. Anyone know?

I'd like to know what this patch is as well....

 

[MoFuzz]

Btw Bioshock has pretty much perfect pad support for the 360 pad while Bioshock 2 has jackshit.

In addition, thanks to talented programmers & thorough play testing, mouse support in both games is equally piss poor.

Thanks for being consistent 2K!

You'll feel better about yourself once you install the game.

 

[JudgeN]

Fuck yea bioshock 2 good thing I didn't pick for $10 during Christmas.

The best part is where they claimed they improved the feel of the mouse and keyboard when they actually didn't. And then they claimed they redesigned the interface for MKB so that's why we couldn't have proper pad support even though Bioshock 1 straight up switched the interface over when you toggled on the 360 pad in the settings.

 

[Ickman3400]

What? NOOOOO. I bought bioshock 2 thinking "hey it's a modern game it must have good pad support". Son of a bitch >.<

which is fine since bioshock 2 can be played with kb/m

 

[Foliorum Viridum]

Ever had one of those days?

I fancied playing Oblivion... but I got a glitch where I couldn't start a new game.

So then I tried to play the original Bioshock and it kept freezing on the load screen.

PC gaming can still be shit.

 

[Campster]

which is fine since bioshock 2 can be played with kb/m

Yeah, I don't get the hate. The game plays fine with a keyboard/mouse. This isn't Dead Space, there isn't some 500 millisecond delay between moving the mouse and your character sloooowly turning.

 

[Stallion Free]

Feels like shit.

Aka your mouse pretends it's a thumbstick.

 

[FlyinJ]

Which is great unless you want to play on your couch in front of the TV.

 

[Ashsturm]

The new trailer is awesome http://store.steampowered.com/video/42918/80761

Oh lordy. The Cannon Fodder reference has just tipped me over the edge, these guys deserve my money even if I never clear out my backlog enough to play it

Alright im gonna be the cheap ass gamer here and organize a Bioshock 2 four pack BUT the gaffer who buys the pack to distribute needs to know that i can pay up later this week since my payday keeps getting delayed and i have a new debit card that still needs to be activated (by puting money into it), end of this week i should be getting my money, otherwise i'll quit, lol.

If "plays fine" means "feels like shit" then yes, that is the case. There's all sorts of mouse smoothing, acceleration and god knows what else going on in that game by default. You can tweak it a bit through the config files, but after messing around with various settings, the mouse never did end up feeling quite right for me compared to other games.

might help

 

[mcdomination]

So...has there been any more mention of Steam's Big Picture Mode since they semi-announced it in February?

 

[Palette Swap]

Another day, another Steam game... bought the Magicka pack and donated $15 for 2 humble bundle copies.

 

[Mr. Spinnington]

Which is great unless you want to play on your couch in front of the TV.

then you would have bought the console version

not sure why anyone in a steam thread would bitch about having to use kb/m to play an fps, especially when we all had this talk a year ago when bioshock 2 came out

also

If you're trying to play those games with Vista 64bit or Windows 7 64bit, you could try running the executables in compatibility mode for Windows XP service pack 3. I had issues with the Fallout 3 GotY where the game would run fine on the initial install and first play session but the launcher would crash on every successive attempt at playing the game. Game ran fine in compatibility mode, Steam just didn't run in the background.

Magicka or Bioshock

Gah... why does Steam have to do this to me

I'm in if we can find someone to host.

Gah... why does Steam have to do this to me

I had Bioshock in the cart but decided on the Magicka complete pack at the last second...

 

[Sarcasm]

I am also in for 4 pack bioshock

 

[Ickman3400]

Because I want to play the game with a controller, no comfy couch or anything (actually, I'm in a slightly uncomfortable computer chair), that's just how I play pc games.

 

[speculawyer]

Which is great unless you want to play on your couch in front of the TV.

If you really want to sit on the couch then pick up the 360 or PS3 version for $12.99 at Amazon.
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0016BVYA2/?tag=neogaf0e-20

But keybd/mouse is great for Bioshock 2.


I do sometimes use a controller in FPS games if they have driving since driving is much better with a controller. For example, I played Mafia 2 pretty much with a controller.

 

[The Omega Man]

lol you all want the four-pack but non of you have the money to pay right now, that's not a very attractive business proposition.

Spoiler

I am broke too

 

[speculawyer]

I bummed that I can't pick up a discounted Minerva's Den for the PC Bioshock 2 during this sale. grumble grumble. :-(

 

[Archie]

I have $3.75 but not $15 :c

Do you have $5?

 

[Sanic]

[Sarcasm]

14.99/4=3.7475

 

[EarsOfASnake]

I realize I'm a little late to this party, but does anyone want to go in on a Portal 2 two-pack? I hear there are potatoes to be had...

I would be interested.

 

[Gully State]

...?

Why bother with the 4 pack when the difference in price is b/t that and just buying it separately is $1.25?

 

[Sanic]

I wasn't sure what point you were trying to make and was just making sure you didn't miss how much money he actually had .
