well yeah it's not. not necessarily worth a thread, just thought i'd post it as an aside in here. although we've certainly seen more tenuous hl3 speculation threads.

The game is also sold on the Mac Store and a couple other Mac alternatives that don't show on Steam. So yeah, a ghost town, but not quite as much of a ghost town as it would seem.

I think it does fit since the console manufacturers themselves (well MS and Sony anyway) are going to make a very strong push towards DD on these next systems. And the generation after next will be all DD. The systems wont even have a disk drive anymore.
It's a pretty good way to get Steamworks games for cheap day 1.
well sure, but just because the console manufacturers are making a push for it doesnt mean that the customers are forced to adapt. People will still want boxed copies and that amount of people will still be a significant number, enough for Valve to still put boxed copies out there.
Next-Next gen though? sure
You haven't done it yet? Wow, I beat you to it, that feels weird. Now I only need to buy 3445 more games and we're even
(I may be in the process of buying buying JSR from GMG.)
Didn't do anything for me.
yeah you always need to do that

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
I'm not sure how long it is going to take for the home consoles to completely drop retail. There are a few hurdles to be jumped first, chief among them, I think, is high speed internet access. There are plenty of places in the United States, just an hour outside of major markets, that do not have access to high speed internet yet. And, to make matters worse, the road map to when they'll get it is unclear as the major telecommunications companies don't think these markets are worth it (well, until the areas attempt to provide their own municipal services - but that's another story).
I hope we get a nice modding community with this game.
Ahhh. Guess I'll have to wait until I get home then.
And I just realized that I don't in fact own all of the TW games (don't have the mobile port Total War: Battles, or either of the Shogun 2 expansions).
Normally, I couldn't care less, but in the case of Borderlands 2, Gamestop getting the exclusive Monster Dome DLC does impact me despite their usual irrelevance to the PC gaming scene, because they still matter enough to the publishers in the console space to warrant special treatment. So the PC part of the BL2 audience gets shafted as a result of it.

Haha, being a recent release, I decided to leave it as my Plan B should the Weekend Deals be unattractive. I also bought Sonic CD!
I don't think they've started sending the items yet, at least own Rome and Medieval II and haven't gotten the hats yet (despite logging on TF2).
Don't you need hardware for this?

Rome: Total War Gold for a dollar? Don't see many games at 90% off.
A USB cable to plug in a guitar.
It's a very old game. I think Company of Heroes has gotten close to that high of a discount as well.
But surprisingly playable on modern systems. Obviously, the texture resolution and low polygons don't make it great to look at, but the interface still feels very modern and has changed little in the years since, in the newer games.
I bought it last year, and it's the TW game I have the most hours in. Maybe because it's not horrendously poorly optimized like Shogun 2 (or maybe it is, but it's not very demanding on a modern PC). I also like that time period and setting.

Lol at Black Ops MAC being completely separate from the Windows version. Activision going to Activision, indeed.
So just one of these?
Pretty cool if true, was always interested in the game.
This has nothing to do with Activision. The games were made by different companies and have no interaction at all. A lot of publishers do this by letting devs like Feral and Aspyr handle mac ports of their games.
Cross post from the Dota 2 thread:

Dota 2 - Early Access registry entry got updated. I dunno what changed, I checked it on the store and it's still the same price and items as far as I can tell. Wonder what they changed. Dunno if anybody in this thread has more info on stuff like this.

You know what I mean.That's not true; Aspyr couldn't develop a Mac port without Acti's consent.
It's not an activision exclusive thing. They could of just not let Aspyr make the Mac port at all if they wanted. It's better even if it's a "crappy" practice.You know what I mean.
Come to think of it, I wonder if we'll now see Feral's Mac ports appear on Steam.
Call of Juarez: The Cartel is £1.98 in UK. Registers on Steam obviously.

It's a box, but if anyone's interested I can get it.

Rome was never that hard to run. I got the game when it came out and we didn't even have a gaming PC back then, hell I wasn't even a PC gamer at all. I think I managed to read a magazine review on the game and thought it sounded awesome and bought it and I dumped well over 100 hours into it. It's still my favorite TW game, at least until 2 comes out next year, but I went ahead and picked it up again today since it's so cheap.
The worst part is sometimes having to chase routed enemy units across the whole map in order to get the battle to end and it's usually a cavalry unit since you can't really catch up to one easily. It could take over 10 minutes just doing that

It's definitely a long ways away before it happens. I'm surrounded by areas where the only option for Internet is still 56K, but thankfully I'm not included in that. Another major hurdle is bandwidth caps. There's been months that my 250GB limit was extremely close to being met and that was only from downloading games. If I were into streaming video all of the time then it'd be a major issue.
I feel like progress in these areas has slowed down to an almost complete stop and it's frustrating to see. Internet providers typically offer higher bandwidth packages but the cost is just stupid so I guess greed is to blame for that one.

Because retailers usually sell games for significantly less than they cost on Steam?
Tonight I'll catch up with you on the blue hedgehog's game. I thought about getting Generations too, but that would be too much.
I seriously don't know how you manage to buy so many games. I sometimes get a feeling of guilt when I think of all the music CD's I could be buying instead, or a nice mini component or new PC.
Where are you? I'm curious, because I'm a U-Verse customer in Ohio, and there's no cap here.

So you bought it right?
Yes, I can get the game, scan the whole thing including the code and email it to you. After you confirm the code works I shred it.
PM me.

Tried to play Rusty Hearts, but I keep getting this patch error. This file isn't the same as this file. Verify integrity of game cache. Everything is fine. Go back to patching. Same error. Switch to patch #2. Still same error. A lot of other people have the same problem, but at different files in the patching process. Perfect World needs to QA their patches.
Deleted the file in question. It did not help me whatsoever lol. Up yours Perfect World! The 4 hours that was added to my game time, I was staring at the patcher haha.
I had no problem patching and playing Rusty Hearts before. Whatever, delete.

sure, but I wanna play it with my friend tonight
I dont like the price but I want the game, hence the fourpack, wich is a better deal
game should cost 10 bucks with a 10 percent discount, meaning 9 for now. Fourpack comes down to 11 bucks if im not mistaken. I'll deal.
It's a hard sell at $15 for a 4 year old game with probably no real new addons. Even at $10 it's kind of a hard sell but at least a bit easier to swallow.
