I am not pleased Gabe.
Endearingly janky in the way that mid-budget Euro RPGs tend to be.
The game has a strange sense of humor and it can be a real looker from time to time; just ask dennisk4! I haven't played it enough to make a real decision.

Played the Rayman demo and I am sold. I do wish the graphics were a bit sharper but it looked great regardless.
If you like wandering around beating up monsters for loot without the need for a highly structrured story/quest system then it's definitely worth a look. It's a really nice looking game too.
It was dropped to $30 right before the Steam X-mas sale, if I remember correctly, so late December. It's been on sale for half that since then. Still haven't bought it though...
Wow, that's a pretty damn big mark up for you Aussies. I just entered $30 US into a online currency converter to see what that would be in Aussie dollars. If this converter is to be believed, it just under $28. I was expecting for there to be a big different in the exchange rate, but the two currencies are pretty close to equal.
And they have been for a long time
We just pay more for stuff.. always have. But with the exchange rates the way they are it makes it even more ridiculous.I was just asking re rage. as the mobile steam app page shows rage for 9.99 in one of the screenshots - thought it seemed a bit off
And to think it's $30+ cheaper at retail. Why push people to buy from retailers, where their cut is far less? There's no rhyme or reason to the Aussie Tax.

So Rayman Origins worth pre order it?

1.0.6 of the mobile app just came out for Android. Push notifications for the background app to save battery FTW!

I'd have pre-ordered it ten times over now on steam if I didn't just buy it on Vita.
But I'll probably end up pre-ordering it leading up to release just for shits and giggles regardless, it's one of the best 2D platformers I've ever played.

Check the price via the Steam Client:
Aussie Tax has been added.
I assume it's because of the addition internet mileage that it takes to get a game all the way here. There are like, oceans and shit that it's gotta travel across... and waterproof internets is the most expensive type.

But what are your impressions about the game, I want to be sure before purchase it!
It's easily one of the best-looking games ever made. As a platformer, it's more subjective. I like it a lot though.But what are your impressions about the game, I want to be sure before purchase it!
Try the demo. The first stage is indicative of the rest of the game.

Ok, I'll try it, thanks!
I just want to know one thing, and it's about the lenght of the game

There's a lot of content for a platformer.
Two Worlds has the most horrific registration system.
Name, address, DOB, email, GENDER! - all mandatory.
It might be amusing to have to call their support - "Hi, I'm Mrs Stayoutmylife Younosybastards from Liberty City" "Yes that's right - would you like me to spell it for you?"
BTW, if you can't skip the intro and your mouse doesn't work its probably because you have a 360 controller plugged in.

Saints Row 2 is an amazing game, but it has to be tweaked to get it to run well on the PC.
If you are going to play it on a Windows 7 PC, you MUST read this thread: http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1715922
There are two tweaks almost everyone on Windows 7 has to make. For some reason if your processor is either faster or slower than the Xbox 360's the game won't run at the correct speed, leading to screwed up gameplay and very poor stability. So you have to use either powertools (preferable) or Cheatengine (screws up the cut scenes) to slow the game down. How to do so is explained in that thread.
There's also a problem with prefetching that is easy to fix as well.
These are all independent of the Gentlemen of the Row mod, but you really should install the GotR as well. Tanks with heat seeking missiles is pretty awesome.
The game is also playable on much lower powered machines if you follow the recommendations of that thread. Here is IdolNinja's recommended PC reqs:

Duke Nukem Forever for $5 at Greenmangaming. Don't know if it has been that price before, but for $5 I may as well add it to my backlog...Maybe.

The game is definitely worth 5 but not worth adding to my backlog.

It's definitely worth a fiver and it's something that everyone should have as a history piece. I played 25 minutes of it (15 of those was playing pool) and feel like I got my money's worth.

Do they give Steam keys for every game? Clash of Heroes is the only Steamworks one there, (by the way, they also give you its DLC).
Yesterday I finally got my first credit card and I want to buy something from Amazon to see if everything's ok. Any worthy deals right now?
EDIT: Uh... Ok, I found the Amazon DD Sales thread :lol. Nvm.
Forgot to check that. Last time I bought from the site (Renegate Ops) was also Steamworks.
I'll tweet them about it.

It ain't worth 5 dollars.
I got it for $1 after using a $5 amazon credit and I still felt like I pissed that $1 away. Such a terrible game from start to finish.
Excellent game. I got it for roughly the same price at launch on GMG. It's a really fun mashup of puzzle, strategy and RPG elements. Also quite aesthetically pleasing.

Hilarious.

all my loli wolf companions are so moe
Wow, it went on sale again!
Only the info page for clash of heroes mentions steam, so the others are likely not steamworks.
Can't believe clash has only been on sale once so far. I missed it then and the mere thought of buying it full price is unconscionable dammit.

It would be the same either way, downloading it or buying it.

I bit and Clash of Heroes is the only Steam game. The rest are downloaded from the site.

It feels like the last genre this license should be used on.
