If i want to play the FEAR expansions (Perseus and Extraction Point) does the main game need to be installed?
Im asking because the FEAR vanilla instalation is a massive 16GB.
Hope someone knows this.

I'm pretty sure it's a one size fits all download. If you download Extraction Point, it automatically downloads vanilla as well.
Looks like WARP want's you to login every single time your start the game, if you do this your game save is saved online so you cannot use it for offline play (vice versa)
This is amazingly stupid, it doesn't help that the game will not remember your origin details and will ask every single time for your username and password
it's a fun stealth based game but really this shit is intolerable.
"Thanks for warping out with us!"
lame. in the afternoon i tried the demo of arkham asylum on my old laptop. it ran perfectly. no problems at all. so this is when i decided to buy the game off steam. but when i started it it ran like shit. low framerate all over the place. even with details low
Try disabling the physics gfx engine.

Edit: ah, saw that you already did. And double post failure.

I couldn't stand it. I guess if you were able to go into the game without any baggage carried over from the rest of the franchise it could be a half decent weekend romp, but between it being "super stupid" and shitting all over the franchise and putting in horrible segments which weren't fun (that iraq segment is where I had to turn it off) and every enemy going "I'M GOING TO RAPE YOUR MOTHER, FISHER, YOU BITCH ASS I HATE YOU FISHER WHY DID YOU RUN OVER MY DOG FISHER? YOU COULD HAVE AT LEAST PAID THE VET BILLS FISHER!". It got trite in its first minute.

Two questions:
1. Is anyone here from Russia?
2. I figure i may as well ask here. Im using my 42 inch tv as my monitor and am trying to create a custom resolution of 2560 x 1440 but nothing seems to work. My tv does 1920x1080p but i cant even seem to gwt that working. The native resolution is 1280x720p. Im using a gtx 680 if that helps. Is it just not possible using a tv to have said resolution?
Thanks.

I like the comic about that: http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2010/4/16/
ok, i'm new to Steam and wanted to play Batman yesterday, so i searched for it and found a bundle with Batman city and asylum for what i thought was a great deal. only 28 euro. Later that night i understood that i saved the big amount of 1.5euros.... ok
but today when i logged into steam, it says batman bundle 14euro.
It was like putting salt into my open wounds!.
Is there some way to get some refund for this?
I also bought my ipad 1 5 days before ipad 2 was released.. :-/, so i guess its ok to laugh at me.

No way to change the resolution in windows (if your'e using windows)?
try that, plus if the tv says 1920x1080p then that's the highest it can go (I think?)

Thanks Stich, Stallion and Mr.Orange.
My confusion emerged because after FEAR was installed the client put both Extraction Point and Perseus in pause, when infact all 3 were downloaded simultaneously.
Edit: Anyone knows how to put Extraction Point in 1920*1200?

It makes me think that some companies don't do any playtesting whatsoever.
Oooh, I may very well get them both. Nostalgiaaaaaaaa

Cool I didn't even know Aquanox was on Steam.
Not sure if buy though, I remember that game as a really cool graphical showcase and not really as a game, I might not have given it a chance though.

That makes two of us. I just remember the length of the dialogue cutscenes being longer than the length of the missions themselves.
Well worth it! Extremely charming and nostalgic.
edit: One of my dreams last night was that I accidentally bought Warp on steam. I wasn't happy about it at all.

Sweet, grabbed both Psychonauts and Darksiders off Amazon, and my backlog cries just a little more. But for only 7 bucks total, dayum.
late night gaf browsing is never a good thing... especially with cheese.

Warp's final boss fight is one of the worst I have ever beaten, from a design/implementation perspective.

Is there any estimate of the number of Steam users having access to the beta of Dota2 and CS:GO? Indeed, the stats page always surprises me: there is about 5 million concurrent users, and 50 thousands play Dota2, 60k play CS, 55k play CS:S, yet less than 7 hundreds play CS:GO.
Edit: CS:CZ accounts for about 5k users.

I've been playing the hell out of CS:GO, it's more fun than source due to the slightly better visuals and the gameplay feels a little better to me as well.
Small details like the smoke that guns emit is pretty effective.
I am getting a solid 200 fps+ at all times with the game completely maxed out with Adaptive MSAA and 2560x1440 though, lol.

I love the previous games but i went in with low expectations because of what ive heard, so i guess that helps.
that iraq shooter part was fuckin embarrasing and i almost gave up, but surprisingly enough there hasnt been any more of those
And I still can't manage to get a key.

780k person closed beta lol. Most games wish they could get that many people in the full game.
And the only reason it is closed is because Valve Literally doesn't have enough servers to suport a much higher player base till they get more, then they give more keys out. I am sure their economics who likely also double as staticians tell them the number of players they can support with their current number of servers.
All I know is that Valve needs one instance of the game for roughly every 3-4 people actually playing, due to private and bot games.
Is the Darksiders deal a steam key or? I want to get it but I'd rather have it on steam :O
Isn't it Steamworks?
Wasn't sure, just checked the steam forums and it does activate on steam so, just bought it
EDIT:
Cheers, will do!
The Amazon PCDD thread at CAG is a good resource for Steam sales. The OP is updated by an Amazon rep and he says pretty explicitly which deals activate on Steam and which do not. Worth bookmarking.
I deleted this. Game was making me really angry and furious all the time. I sold my LoL and HoN accounts for a profit aswell.
Awesomenauts needs to come to PC because its the best DOTA game out there IMO, it never makes me frustrated like the PC DOTAs and is a all round fun experience where you can have 3 people doing couch co-op with you online.
Check your pm
And I STILL can't manage to get a key for CS:GO!

If it makes you feel better, I don't have either of them. ): (BTW, not begging for any!)
I definitely prefer GO to Source, although some Aussie servers west of Sydney would be nice (can't stand playing with an ~80+ ping).
:brofist
CS:GO is for sure better than CS:S. I have your back on that one.
