Didn't they say that it is a Steamworks game? I think you're wrong.

Well I was joking about my post just to make it clear.
But the game is not steamworks outside of the Steam version, which is to say that only those that buy it on Steam or have an NVidia code will get the Steamworks version, I believe GMG already confirmed that those that got it there won't get the Steamworks version.

darn E.A. $25 dollars for Alice here in my region @_@

 

[QuantumBro]

Did I read that Alice is $15 in the US? It's £15 over here, so if it is indeed $15 I'd appreciate if someone would gift it to me and I'll Paypal the money for it

Check PM.

 

[NaM]

Big thanks to QuantumBro for helping me, this time to get Alice!, a real bro

 

[Echoplx]

25$ for Alice here in Australia, EA are really inconsistent with their pricing strategy over here

If someone from the US could hook me up that would be awesome <3

 

[crimsonheadGCN]

Hey, is Namco Europe publishing any big PC game coming up? An entry for "Namco Bandai Europe Comp" just came up.

Inversion by Saber Interactive I believe. That doesn't come out till February though.

 

[Saty]

Inversion by Saber Interactive I believe. That doesn't come out till February though.

Don't think so, haven't heard of it having a PC version. I believe it's Ridge Racer Unbounded, but that's 2012 as well.

Hey, is Namco Europe publishing any big PC game coming up? An entry for "Namco Bandai Europe Comp" just came up.

Nothing upcoming I think but they published (or distributed?) Stoked which isn't on Steam yet. Who knows, maybe I missed something.

Edit: Oh, beaten.

 

[Fare Godmace]

New store page is up:

http://store.steampowered.com/app/110500/

Data Jammers: FastForward



The tracks remind me of Audiosurf, but without it being generated by music data.

Welp, that looks exactly like my kind of game. Trippy, simple, and on the top of that looks like Audiosurf, which I love.

It's a shame it seems it won't be Steamplay, but hey... If it's cheap, I'll bite

Spoiler

during the Winter sale

.

BTW, is it just me or you can't see Sequence's achievements page? I hope I'm not missing any cheevos

 

[TGMIII]

Do I buy alice now or wait and see if it's cheaper at the christmas sale.....

 

[Salsa]

Do I buy alice now or wait and see if it's cheaper at the christmas sale.....

id say there's little to no chance that if it does show up it would be cheaper than $15

and going by what EA's done in the past, there's also the possibility of it not being discounted during the christmas sales at all. Happened with Bulletstorm and other EA published games.

 

[Oreoleo]

Awesome daily deal, I'm all over that. Alice2 has controller support right? I checked the store page but it didn't say.

 

[Derrick01]

Welp I went ahead and bought Alice with money I couldn't afford to spend. I'm going to kick myself in the balls if I can't get Skyrim on time because of my weak impulses.

Happened with Bulletstorm

I'm still pissed at EA over this.

 

[Nabs]

Awesome daily deal, I'm all over that. Alice2 has controller support right? I checked the store page but it didn't say.

360 pad support

Sexy, thanks!

Well you convinced me. How's it handle ATI/nvidia set ups for the physx?

Interesting in that case I'll probably be able to get the non-steam version cheaper elsewhere around christmas cuz now I'm either getting alice for $15 or gta complete for $12.50(off gg).

 

[Des0lar]

Noooo I just bought it a few days ago for Origin (for 13€)


Also: Here are some PhysX improvement options.

[Prophet Steve]

darn E.A. $25 dollars for Alice here in my region @_@

That's the case in a lot of regions, except for the US I believe.

 

[PixyJunket]

Eh, I bought Alice.

Not having achievements or the original game is annoying but the price can't be beat and it frees up a Christmas slot, I suppose.

 

[Corto]

Awesome daily deal, I'm all over that. Alice2 has controller support right? I checked the store page but it didn't say.

Yes it has. And it's a wonderful game.

 

[jim-jam bongs]

I'm calling it now:

Origin Xmas Sale - Alice for only $5!
Steam Xmas Sale - All EA game full price!

 

[Corto]

I'm calling it now:

Origin Xmas Sale - Alice for only $5! USA ONLY!
Steam Xmas Sale - All EA game full price!

Fixed.

 

[jim-jam bongs]

Fixed.

I saw your fix and it was good. I should send John a fucking atlas.

 

[ArjanN]

Don't think so, haven't heard of it having a PC version. I believe it's Ridge Racer Unbounded, but that's 2012 as well.

The developer confirmed a PC version of Inversion on twitter.

 

[shintoki]

Maybe I will pick up Alice for 15$

 

[TheExodu5]

$10 for the Last Stand Tau Commander? Are you shitting me?

 

[Gravijah]

$10 for the Last Stand Tau Commander? Are you shitting me?

thats a good deal man when else are you going to get last stand tau commander

 

[PaulLFC]

Which of the Commandos games are worth owning? They're £2 each, or £6 for all 4, so four games for the price of three. If only one or two of them are worth buying though, I'd rather just get them separately.

 

[toastyToast]

I have no money for Alice but I don't see it getting any cheaper.

Spoiler

bought

 

[trinest]

Dam you EA. Having a sale on Alice and having it jacked up in price in my region and if I wanted to get it from another person I can't cause I have no money to use paypal.

 

[Old Gimlet Eyes]

$10 for the Last Stand Tau Commander? Are you shitting me?

What a joke of a price. I got the whole Retribution expansion for $10 from an amazon sale. $10 for a Tau Commander is just taking advantage of the 40k fanboys. THQ gotta recover that money spent on Space Marine somehow.

 

[PaulLFC]

Dam you EA. Having a sale on Alice and having it jacked up in price in my region and if I wanted to get it from another person I can't cause I have no money to use paypal.

You could always gift someone a game for the equal value in return for the gift of Alice if you can find someone who wants to trade.

Looks like Valve is going to be expanding into Russia even more in the near future. Next stop in Valve's quest for world domination: China.

GTA Weekend Deal

75% off the Complete Pack ($12.49)

That seems really cheap :O

I think I might bite on that since I kept passing on previous Steam GTA deals

 

[Madrugador]

GTA Weekend Deal

75% off the Complete Pack ($12.49)

Great deal, but for some reason the original GTA and GTA2 don't appear in the pack here in South America.

Hope it still includes the games.

 

[Salsa]

That GTA deal is fucking bonkers. I already own every game but holy shit at the price/content.

 

[frozzted]

Anyone want to gift me GTA IV Complete and I will send the money via paypal? Apparently I can't use instant transfer (only credit card). No idea if it has to do with me being in Canada or not.

 

[PaulLFC]

Wow. Every single GTA game plus the GTA4 expansions all for £5. Insane deal.

 

[zerokoolpsx]

That GTA deal is fucking bonkers. I already own every game but holy shit at the price/content.

Wow. GTA, GTA2, GTA3, GTAIV, Episodes from Liberty City, GTA: San Andreas, and GTA: Vice City for $12.49. Yea, they have totally lost it.

 

[Nelo Ice]

Wow. Every single GTA game plus the GTA4 expansions all for £5. Insane deal.

Wait is GTA complete even cheaper overseas? its $12.50 here and £5=$7.89 i think , if so anyone want to hook me up i'll paypal asap.
edit:$7.87 god damn.

 

[jim-jam bongs]

Oddly enough I pulled out my retail copies of the GTA3 games intending to celebrate the 10th anniversary this weekend by moonlighting as a cabbie in San Andreas, but now I have 'em all on Steam plus GTAIV and episodes. Life is good.

 

[nincompoop]

So I bought Alice but apparently the Steam version uses a different config file with different setting names than the one for which the previous config fixes were posted, so I'm not sure which settings I need to change other than the resolution and max framerate ones, any tips?
