Well I've only play Fallout 3 but I've heard these are a bit different so I want to be sure.

Fallout 3 really isn't a game in the same series as Fallout 1 and 2. It's more like a spin-off in a different genre. FO1/2 are 2D, isometric CRPGs in the vein of something like Baldur's Gate, so you experience with FO3 won't have any bearing on what you think about FO1/2. The only thing that's remotely similar is the setting.

 

[Jobacca]

Are the coupons random then?

Also, general consensus is to get Deus Ex: HR?

 

[Zero-Crescent]

Invisible War get!

Only Deus Ex game I havent got. Any must have mods for it? I hear it's not a bad game, it's just a bad Deus Ex game.

I don't think Invisible War has much of an active mod community. You'll probably want to use the Deus Ex Widescreen Utility to patch it so that the graphics don't appear stretched.

Yes.

In case anyone else is contemplating getting the Fallout collection on sale, here's some Steam forum links I found for getting them to run in high-res on Win7.

Excellent, I was going to ask about this as it currently appears funky.

 

[fluffydelusions]

Damn you steam making me spend so much money...

All DE games + Fallout collection lol

Grotesque Tactics: Evil Heroes code hidden in post, quote to reveal.

 

[Madridy]

What a great Steam Sales day for RPG Fans! Got the Fallout collection, was eying them for quite some time now!

Already got Deus:HR + DLC from Amazon during the Holiday sale for the same price.

Thank you kind sir! I'll probably buy the base bundle when there's a Happy Hour and gift the duplicates here

 

[Tim-E]

I already have DX and every Fallout game, looks like I may have to buy HR and Shogun 2 today.

 

[kitzkozan]

Definitely play the first and third games. A lot of people hate the second game but I thought it was "okay" and worth playing through once.

I bought the Deus Ex collection, which cost 5$ with the 75% off. :] Even if I don't really like Invisible war, it's super cheap so no big deal. Here's hoping we see Baldur's gate 1 & 2 remake on steam sooner rather than later ( and planescape: Torment) .

You missed the Midweek madness sale, but Amazon still have it for sale 75% off (Same as the Steam sale)

Shogun 2

Btw it is Steamworks, So you can activate it on Steam.

Yeah, hope the Dungeon Siege collection goes on sale tomorrow. Would love a $7.49 Dungeon Siege 3

So, don't know if it was posted but new http://www.indiegala.com/ is up. Includes:

Trapped Dead
Greed: Black Border
Future Wars

and if you beat the average you get:

Grotesque Tactics
Twin Sector

All Steam if I'm not mistaken. Sorry if I'm late but I didn't see it mentioned.

 

[Madrugador]

Indie Gala III is out.

INDIEGALA is back!

Pay What You Want and get Trapped Dead, Greed: Black Border, and Future Wars!

Pay more than the current average ( starting from $ 3.99 ) and you'll also get Twin Sector , Grotesque Tactics: Evil Heroes plus 4 secret bonus goodies added in the second week!

http://www.indiegala.com/

Edit: Dammit, too slow!

 

[Dice]

Indigala is the best. Picked it up. Looking forward to extra goodies, which they seem to love piling on.

Spoiler

The backlog grows, why do I do this?

Good lord, haven't heard of any of these games. Twin Sector looks neat enough, the rest look a bit daunting.

What's the opinions on these games?

 

[Fare Godmace]

There's another thread for the new Indie Gala.

Stump said there that Twin Sector isn't worth it at all.

Spoiler

So if anyone doesn't want it, I'd gladly take a code

 

[Curufinwe]

Will Deus Ex HR be bottlenecked by a E6420 @ 2.13 Ghz?

I overclocked it to 2.8 GhH in winter and got thru Crysis and Crysis Warhead, but it makes my computer run too hot to keep it overclocked when the weather heats up.

 

[Blizzard]

Most people who have played Twin Sector or tried the demo seem to either dislike it, or hate it -- like Portal if Portal sucked and there were no portals, I think someone said. I don't know about the other games though.

 

[cicero]

Yeah, hope the Dungeon Siege collection goes on sale tomorrow. Would love a $7.49 Dungeon Siege 3

I have been hoping for this as well. Would be nice to get Dungeon Siege Complete Pack for at least $10.

 

[Tess3ract]

I'll get The Missing Link, then.
Are the other DLC packs worth it?

You don't need them but I like having them.

 

[Tess3ract]

You started so strong here with a perfect suggestion.... and then...

Nope. High res textures or DEATH

 

[Semblance]

Mafia's ending is so incredible, still. Goddamn. One of the best ever.

 

[cicero]

So the current on-going Indie Bundles are:
Indie Royale Ninja Lightning Pack
The Humble Bundle for Android 2
The Indie Gala III

And upcoming bundles are:
BeMine Bundle #2
Indie Face Kick Bundle


Am I missing any? Do we have a central thread for Indie Bundle info?

 

[Tess3ract]

Quote for a Grotesque Tactics: Evil Heroes code!

They are never gonna finish. Deus Ex is a product of it's time and slathering high-res textures all over low poly models isn't going to change that.

 

[NaM]

One of my favourite games, the whole experience from beginning to end is incredible, and it holds pretty good even today.

FTL will be coming to Steam, if anyone knew about it: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/64409699/ftl-faster-than-light/posts/195845

It's a "spaceship strategy roguelike-like." Beta will take place via Steam as well.

They're DOS games though, so they all run perfectly in DOSBox.

Edit: And ScummVM as well, so there's no difficulty involved in getting them running in an easy program.

Ah I see I'll have to look into that thanks

That seems right to me. There's no central thread. There's been a couple generic ones that the OPs never updated. I could make one (and keep it updated) if people think there's a need.

The dev of Faerie Solitaire is giving away thousands of Steam copies of his game on reddit.

http://www.reddit.com/r/gaming/comments/qvsml/giving_away_1000_copies_of_our_game_faerie/

50,000 more.

Can't believe I almost bought the Fallout collection when I realized I owned it on gog...which is the superior version =)

At least you realized it before. I bought Scratches on Steam and afterwards realized I had already bought it on GOG.

From Valve's official Half-Life 3 bitching Facebook page:

A great ending to an excellent game. Now I feel like replaying it.

What's superior about it? It wouldn't appear in my game collection list, so that's a negative. Are the games themselves different?

GoG versions usually offer variety of extras ranging from manuals and soundtracks to novels and wallpapers(for Fallout they offer bible, pip-boy avatars, artworks etc). Also they work straight outta the box on windows 7 64 bit, no need to fiddle (or very little in some cases). F.ex. Rayman 2 steam version worked very badly on my computer, whereas the gog version works just great.

Also got that indiegala 3, but think I shouldn't have, after looking at the metascores of most of the games.

Here's my thought process when it comes to indie bundles:

Do I own all of the Steam-supported games?
No: Buy
Yes: Ignore

same here, except I only bother beating the average if the extra games are appealing to me. In this indieGala bundle they were not.

I have no intention of playing any of the games, I just wanted to add to my game count. /damnyougabe

Edit: Is there an ETA on the Face Kick bundle? They've been taking pre-orders for weeks now.

Been replaying Monkey Island 2. Rather, been playing MI2:SE.

I'm sorry, but in terms of gameplay, it is much better than MI1.

 

[jaundicejuice]

Pre-ordered Risen 2: Dark Waters, guess I'm in balls deep now. Stallion's vague posting about the beta didn't make it an easy purchase but I loved the fuck out of the first Risen and I've still got high hopes for Dark Waters.

 

[TrumanBurbank]

Does anyone have a spare key for Faerie Solitaire? I sent them a PM on reddit but no reply since yesterday.
Thanks if you do...
