It's still a sucky sale considering EA has been having sales left and right where they're doing significantly better than this. EA should just go Vampire on Steam and call it a day.

Awesome, now I'm excited. I had already gotten ME2 during christmas, but decided against playing it cause I hadn't beaten the 360 version of ME1.

I think this marks the first game I've double dipped on since L4D2.

Mass Effect for 3.75 euros, bought.

Think I'll skip Mass Effect 2 for now, 15 for the complete edition.

Edit: Wait, that 'deluxe' stuff doesn't include any in-game extra's. Thought it would be with the DLC or something. Hm, 10 for ME2 then, might bite.

Same here, ME2 should have been 75% off now! Guess I will hold out and wait for a possible complete edition with all dlc.

Think we can see Dead Space 2 for $20? $25? Highly doubt it, but I hope Dead Space 2 does go on sale this week. :\ Only other thing from EA I think I want.

Got ME1. Haven't played that game since I got it day 1 on 360. Hopefully ME2 goes down to $5 in the Christmas sale.

People shouldn't be saying "safe" just yet!

it'll be an indie game

Welp, I got them 2 for the same price in separate sales but not on Steam. Would jump right on that if I didn't have them already. I can take a deep breath and wait for another day. Maybe DS or another of their hits.

Mass Effect huh

Played each one 2 times on non-steam versions. Played all DLC in 2 EXCEPT for the last one (wich i really wanna play). I could doubledip and play all over again (including the last dlc this time) before 3 hits, but.. yeah. Not doubledipping this time, best case scenario i'll get them during summer sales, if not thats fine.

Looking to get a gamepad for pc. I want a playstation style controller,is the logitech f310 any good?

I'd really just recommend the wired 360 controller. It really makes a big difference when a game officially supports it.

Otherwise, if you have a PS3 controller, you could just use the (annoying to install) MotionJoy drivers.

For obvious reasons, everyone is going to recommend a 360 controller. But, if you really want the PS style, why not get a DS3 hooked up?

I shouldn't have bought the Mass Effect games last week for the normal prices. :(

First rule of Steam: only buy a game exactly when you play on playing through it. Never buy a game in anticipation.

If you purchase Mass Effecy from Steam, do you get a serial key that you can use on the EA store/EADM?
Click to expand...

Yeah, you can use the same key to register it with EA's Digital Manager. I haven't registered my Steam purchased EA games with EADM because I'm not certain about how nice they play together. Boxed games sure, why not but Steam purchased games? Ehhh, I dunno.

It works fine together. EADM will even recognize (most of the time) if you already have a game installed through steam, and it'll allow you to launch the game from EADM without having to redownload it.

Thanks!

I used a key from GamersGate on EADM and worked great. I donwloaded my game from EADM. I guess it's the same with Steam, i just wasn't sure if Steam gives you a key for ME.

And they should work fine, don't worry. In this case, since Mass Effect doesn't have any Steam features, i'd like to play the EADM version (without the Steam overlay).

And now i hope someone from US GAF will help me. Can someone please buy and gift me Mass Effect 1 (it's $4.99 right?). I can paypal the money first thing in the morning tomorrow.

Shuyin you do know that you can disable the steam overlay for a particular game. or all of them.

You have to buy DLC through the Cerberus in game (EA) bullshit.

Wow great deal on Men of War: AS for $11.89, or all three for $20.40.

Hopefully more people pick up AS for the awesome co-op.

Sorry, i didn't mean the overlay. I meant the Steam client. I once saw it used about 60MB of my RAM which gets a big 'fuck off' from me, since i have a low-to-mid range PC. I kind of am nuts when it goes to resources :))) When i play i tend to close all other programs and kill unnecesary processes.

So i can't register ME on EADM and download a normal (as in not Steam version from there).... Can a low-end (by today's standards, 9800GT - amd athlon 2 x4 630 with 2 gb dual channel ram maximize Mass Effect? How much memory does it require?)
