I'm looking forward to stocking up on Indie titles during the sale, its the only thing my laptop can seemingly handle.

If the sale were to start on Thursday, what time do you think it would commence?
Dalies usually start/end around 12 PM Central US, so that's when I'd expect the SSS to start too.

EDIT: ninja'd

7 p.m. CEST (Central European Summer Time), i.e. UTC+2 including daylight saving time.

That's why you should wait to take your vacation until August. Summer sale is always somewhere in June/July. Can't miss it if you're still here!

XBOX - RECORD ME LOVING DOWN MY WOMAN GOOD
I would love to get my hands on a Bethesda RPG Bundle but the one on the list is missing Fallout 3 and Oblivion, not to mention Morrowind, etc. Though I will be happy with New Vegas and Skyrim since I sold my 360 versions when I upgraded to PC.

Otherwise, I want to stock upon on some RPGs. KotOR and Mass Effect 1/2 as well as some oldies. Divine Divinity will be purchased as it was just released and it's cheap but I figured I would wait until Thursday at least.

Also want the Valve bundle for the HL games alone. Been too long since I played them.

Have to pass on the indie bundles as they are so mixed up that I have a game or two in each. Unless they are super cheap.
 
I don't know what DD you're playing but I got a 1.2gig update last night because of patch and stupid shards 4 dlc.
Oh damn, this new "more efficient format" seems to not allow the updates until you select to play. I didn't know it, but I too had an update waiting for me. A 4.5GB one! I think I tried to play something the other day and the same thing happened, it's annoying for me because I can only really download between 8-8 (my internet is unlimited then, otherwise I have a small cap).

All them updates and the is still adound 3.7GB. I don't tbink it's added much new but patching and overwriting in current parts. Otherwise it would be a 6GB+ game by now. I'm mainly annoyed by the bandwidth it uses but it hasn't updated in at least a week for me

the main thing I want from the sale is Skyrim and SFxTekken, maybe Max Payne 3 depending on the price.

I don't have a big list of anything I want.

Played this on 360 and loved it. So I hope to pick this up in a Rockstar pack if possible. Classic game.

I don't remember the colors being washed out when I player though.

What's their reasoning for huge updates anyway? I've seen games with patches having bigger content for very less sizes.

Agreed.

I tried looking but found nothing. The interiors are nice but outdoors the colours are complete crap.

It is great. There's a tweak you can run to get it to remove the 30fps cap and get it to run at 60fps.

I'm scared.
 
My wishlist:

Killing Floor-$5
Call of Duty 2-$5
Bioshock-$5
CSS-$5
Bad Company 2-$5

edit: possible scratch call of duty 2, will probably replace with a good singleplayer experience I haven't played before.

Shit, I forgot about L4D. I can imagine that is way more fun on the PC with the custom maps and everything.

It really is. However, do not play versus unless you really know what you are doing, because many of the people on there are hostile as fuck to newcomers.
 
It's been a while since I've played. I don't really remember how bad it was. Either way, it was hardly half-assed and with the patches they've released, the PC version is far and away the definitive version to play.




I think there was one patch, maybe 2. Anyway, in my opinion the 360 version was far and away the better port. It looked much more vibrant had better lighting and shadows and played much better with the controller. Not sure what the deal is with the PC port, but the controller doesn't work right, you can only run if you tilt the stick diagonally when you're walking normally which is a pain and the camera felt wonky. And even with the 60fps patch it's still janky and really washed out.

I know Mad Doc had much more time with the 360 version than they did working on the PC port and if I had to venture a guess I'd say they reworked the PS2 version. So yeah, I'd say it was either half-assed or they just didn't get the time they needed to make it as good as the 360 port.

Certainly wouldn't be the first time it happened with a console port to PC.
 
I'm just hoping for one of the Fallout games. Fallout 3 preferably since I never go backwards when it comes to playing a series. But I guess F3 and Vegas are similar enough that it wouldnt be a problem between those two games.

The controls were so clunky when I tried to play Bully, I never managed to really get "into it"... Everybody tells me it's a good game but ugh...
