Wasn't that from Summer Sale 2011 (July 3 specifically)?

I think you might be right. It's got "Franchise Sale" written on a plank of wood just like they did for the Summer Sale last year. Hard to imagine that they'd reuse the same graphic.

It's obviously a glitch, but instead of a glitch of things to come, it's a glitch showing us things past.
 
EA is such an asshole regarding regional locking. Dragon Age: Origins - Ultimate Edition isn't even available in my country...

I mean, what's the point? I can buy DA:O but not the Ultimate Edition. What kind of logic is that?

Great, there's zero information about the game...

I hope they fixed the gamestopping bugs in the singleplayer campaign and the AI turn threading bugs in the base game.

The soundtrack is great. My favorites are Switch, Triumph, Deeper, and Concentrate, in that order.
Wait, there have been game-stopping Frozen Synapse since release and they haven't been fixed? I thought it came out a long time ago.

The song from the DLC on the Steam store is pretty cool, definitely.

Don't forget Simplz Zoo, that favorite game of Remy. =P

Also wouldn't it be funny if the reason Crysis 2 showed back up was a store mistake, lol.

That's an endlessly fascinating list. I wonder if anyone's compiled a list of DLC oddities like that Mafia 2 DLC that's only available in Europe.

Just finished Assassin's Creed II. It definitely got me hooked to the series, now I want to get Brotherhood and Revelations. A shame I didn't get them when they were so cheap, but I wasn't sure I would like ACII. I hope it will go to the same price during the Summer Sale.

It should be. Brotherhood is really good. I actually 100%'d that game for some impossible reason. Here's hoping there's a good deal on Revelations.

Something has to be going on, my number jumped up by over a hundred.

Maybe they're finally going to update the left behind 'Media' section and it's just adding in all the soundtracks in games you own. You know.. so people can actually find them without trawling through program files\steam or searching on web forums.

Would be nice to actually have 'soundtracks', 'videos', 'magazines', 'books' etc. under media rather than having them listed either as games (the indie game the movie), or just found in the games containing folder (essentially all soundtracks).. they should also break soundtracks out of being listed as 'dlc' in the search..

I always try a game until the end, even if I do not like at all. I presume that I still maintain that desire to play as in my times of 8 bits where in spite of how bad it was the game I played and tried to finish. however i fuckin HATE GRAW with all my heart i put 3 hours and i hated every second...

And i liked tactical shooters...5 usd to the trash...(i buy the secuel too :( ) from ugly aesthetics to the basic story through the misconceived gameplay..

also they removed the new Wolfenstein? I wanted to try that..

Presumably because Acti's publishing rights expired and won't be renewed given ZeniMax's purchase of id a few years ago. It'll likely re-appear as a Bethesda game at some point.

I would... but those are megaupload links - they're dead.

Oh, I misread them as mediafire links, haha. Other fixes I'm come across:

- Run the PhysX installer in steamapps\common\metro 2033\install
- Delete User.cfg in steamapps\common\metro 2033
- Delete content.upk0 in steamapps\common\metro 2033
- Run the game's executable directly from steamapps\common\metro 2033 rather than Steam

Edit: D'oh, forgot to switch tabs.

all my loli wolf companions are so moe
is Dungeons worth picking if Dungeons the Dark Lord is available?

Already tried those, doesn't seem to work :(

The only other two options that come to mind are:

- Bumping the Overclock.net thread/SPUF thread, asking if anybody still has the fixed files, or Edit: Apparently, the fix was incorporated into a patch. Are you absolutely sure the game is up-to-date? When I re-downloaded The Witcher 2 late last year, Steam managed to deliver me v1.0 rather than v1.whateverthelatestversionwasathetime (may have been 2.0, actually).
- Try your luck with a cracked version

Just be aware brotherhood and revelations are pretty much the same game as 2. If you try to play them after each other, you will burn out and fast. Having to wait is not a bad thing at all.

Was really excited to finally buy and play Limbo today. Turns out I already purchased it months ago. Steam *shrugs*
