With all this DLC on the table, doesn't that mean, at the very least, that they have a reasonable amount of confidence in the port? The way the port of Saints Row 2 was handled, I've held off even thinking about SR3 until there's first-hand experience that it's not a sloppy drive-by port (Johnny Gat does not approve of sloppy drive-bys!)

SR3's PC port is being handled by the devs this time and they've made quality ports. SR2 was being handled by a branch of CD Projekt I believe and yeah it was awful. I know red faction guerrilla and armageddon were good PC ports.

have they been packaged together yet? i mean, i picked up new vegas for 10 bucks, so spending 10 dollars on 5 hours of dlc kind of sucks in comparison.

edit: er, talking about the ps3 version, don't mean to bring da consoles into the steam thread.
Click to expand...

The DLC is longer than 5 hours. They're well worth the asking price, even if they hadn't gone on sale a few times now, for as low as $3.00 during the summer sale (for the ones available at the time obviously).

The New Vegas DLC is everything done right. Obsidian nailed downloadable episodic expansion packs.

Edit: Oh, you bought it on PS3? Well, then I return to my original assessment: buy better games, bro.

yeah yeah i'll get 'em later, i'm a poor ol' fool and my rig can't run newer games so i don't get nice deals on dlc. ;( the gtaiv episodes, beth related dlc, rdr stuff, etc are all very good "dlc" though they're more akin to expansions and mini-expansions.

I'm sorry if this is off topic, but he did post in here fairly frequently:

Does anyone know LocoMrPollock outside of GAF? (Like, on your Steam friend list or something?) Was his account hacked? I just saw how he got banned (probably perma'd) and it just seems kind of out of character (even if we didn't get along that often).

Edit: Nevermind. I went and did some searching and it looks like it was to intentionally get banned. It also looks like he may have tried scamming some people in the buy/sell thread by starting transactions and getting banned. If that's true then fuck that guy.

Awesome :) I'm sure it wasn't particularly comfortable for Volition to see their game left in that state. Best to keep that stuff in-house.

Me not happy about Midweek Madness Batman deal... :( Why can't I buy B:AA independtly from Lego Batman? I own both games on Xbox I wanted to replay B:AA before B:AC (on PC) so I wanted it on steam...

Anyone know if I buy the bundle can I keep only B:AA and gift Lego Batman? If so anyone interested in Lego Batman and not B:AA? (a long shot, I know)

Yeah, I wish it was just AA 50% off. Been waiting on this one too.

I'm in the opposite situation, I wanted to grab lego batman :(

Asylum has been cheaper than 10$, I suggest waiting for Christmas sale.

Yep it's been $7.50 more times than I can remember. Though I just noticed msrp on steam is $20 so i'll probably double dip on the pc version when it hits $5 or lower.

Black Hawk Down is pretty tempting. I played the shit out of the demo when it first dropped and loved the full game, but never beat it. Hmmm...

I guess they put in SecuROM in place of GFWL? If this is Steamworks, I think it's the first with any outside DRM.

Blizzard said:
Why would they go Steamworks but still use SecuROM? :mad: Was AA not limited installs? Maybe it won't be an issue.
Click to expand...

AA had limited installs and the only way to revoke (that I know of) was to make a shortcut to the exe and put /revoke at the end of it.

This is the best news that could have graced the Steam thread. The delay didn't bother me anyway, now I say delay everything!

Not the first. IL-2 Sturmovik: Cliffs of Dover had TAGES.

So...

The delay was actually to add Steamworks?

I was only kidding about that, I didn't actually think it would ever happen.

:D :D :D

LastWindow said:
Oh, I see. Well hopefully that crap gets patched out quickly.
Click to expand...

AA had a very inoffensive implementation of SecuROM, it still sucks, but at least it's not like you're going to play the game in 2 years and find out that you're not allowed to.

Pre-purchase for Arkham City just went up. 20% off. $39.99. That should help bring down the inflation that took over the Nvidia Key prison economy.

Edit: Really weird. It doesn't show in my browser, but does show within the Steam Client. Weird.

I believe you have to own AA or lego batman to get the discount....FML buying AA on PS3 was such a stupid mistake..

Huh, that's interesting, when I go to the store page in the browser, where I'm logged out, the price is $49.99. When I go to the store page in the Steam Browser, where I'm logged in, it shows it as being on sale for 39.99 (20% off).

Do you also own Arkham Asylum?

Makes me wonder if it is 20% off for people who own AA. Do you have AA?

Would make the weekend deal pretty good.
