Oddly enough, it's not sold on Steam at all. There's a retail sub, obviously, but that's it.
I wouldn't worry. LucasArts may be dead, but Disney isn't.
Yeah, I found out about the offline version of MIJ when the forums were down and I couldn't connect. Some youtube video had a hack-around though, since the UI is basically HTML.
Still, options are always good.

Almost bit on that Star Wars Collection. Hopefully the summer sale sees a 75% off like some in here are expecting.
I wouldn't count on the pack getting a deeper discount. This is literally only the second time it's been 66% off.
I wish I still had the patience to play a game like fez. Started it on 360 and quit an hour later.took a screenshot of Fez's late-game gameplay:
Oh look Tomb Raider is on sale for 50%. Given the current Squenix trend of price reduction I wonder how long it will be until the inevitable 66% and then 75% off come into play? Well according to what I looked at in the last thread not long.
So roughly something like this then.
Tomb Raider
*Possible discount dates.
Yeah I think I'll hang on for a bit.
Yep I had notes and code wheels galore whilst playing FEZ. Brings back memories of the halcyon days of MegaMan 2 and having to write down passwords.

possible. But I am still unhappy of the removal of Bizarre Cration's games this christmas adter BC death by Activision.
Anyway, this is just an advice, I own all of them
Well, The Club is still available.
Blur was pulled presumably because it uses licensed cars and Activision didn't bother renewing the necessary contracts due to the game's poor sales, and we can infer that Acti cast aside the James Bond license after it expired, hence the 007 games also being pulled.Increasing your game count is never a mistake!
The Club is owned and published by Sega.Well, The Club is still available.
Just broke over 800 games according to my Steam profile
Yes, I know. I was just having a little fun with the fact he didn't specify BC's Acti-published titles and instead referred to the developer's releases more broadly.
Edging ever-so-closer to the big 1k! Assuming you don't hit it sooner, the Summer Sale should do the trick.
I doubt that the Summer Sale will do the trick. I haven't bought much from the Steam store lately
Just a heads to anyone who was remotely interested... I'd recommend staying away from purchasing Might and Magic Heroes 6 (for the 2 of you who are interested). The current main campaign is not available to people who own the game. You will be asked to purchase it despite already owning it. In addition, voices and music are no longer working for the parts of the game that do work.
Just stay far far away. Go play FEZ or something.

He, I was just skimming the thread to see if it was mentioned. The Steam forum is on fire: http://steamcommunity.com/app/48220/discussions/ and Ubisoft reached a new low, that's EA-level stuff. Maybe worse. And unbelievable considering MMH6 has apparently been full of bugs for 2 years, the fixed some major Nvidia problem only now (which is why I bought it before people noticed what the patch did).
I caved in and bought the game, the urge was just too great. I bet it'll be going on sale come Monday. Would be just my luck...

Just finished the Game of Thrones RPG, a little over the 25 hour mark. Storywise it's quite good, but the fetch quests and the repetitive, boring combat really ruin the fun. Also, it kind of drags on during the latter quarter, going through places you've already been and fighting the same enemies you're already fought.
The DLC is more or less the same, although the story is shorter - doesn't take longer than an hour to finish it.
A solid 6/10, 7/10 if you're a long time GRRM fan.

This makes me wanna cry. 27 cubes and 5 anti-cubes later, I give up. I'm not up to the challenge.took a screenshot of Fez's late-game gameplay:

I'm sure Ubi will correct the mistake in due time, just as they patched up AssCreed 2's broken LOD system.
Reincarnation isn't officially released outside of Russia yet. It was released in Russia and is supposedly being localised but noone really knows. They were working on the 2nd expansion for the Mountain clans and hex studios got closed so who knows what that has that meant for Reincarnation. I haven't played it myself yet but I hear that it already includes english language support but I don't think that extends to voice work etc, but I might be wrong about that. You still can't search for it through Russian steam and why only gamersgate sell it in the west, it's all a bit of a complicated mystery really.
Incase anyone is wondering what Disciples: Reincarnation is, it's simply a complete overhaul of Disciples 3 Renaissance and Ressurection from a mechanics perspective to make them play closer to the previous titles I and II. So that includes being able to free roam the map instead of being stuck to paths, the return of boats and water traversal and smaller combat grids amongst other changes. I think they also added talent grids to all units not just heroes but I'm not sure about that.
JaseC said:Well, The Club is still available.
As I mentioned in a previous post but noone seemed to care, even thought it was pulled from steam, 007 Legends was a steamworks game and if acquired physically or another site, such as the brazilian site Nuuvem, it can be redeemed on steam.
I wonder if I have a computer that can finally play Heroes V at a tolerable performance level. The game itself is pretty great (and people who have played M&M Clash of Heroes should really play it, since Clash is almost a tribute to Heroes V, in terms of music and characters). But when I first got the game years ago, I think I had a Core 2 Duo, and on the later campaign levels, it felt like the AI turns would take upwards of a minute each.

No answers for this? Curious as well
Then again:
OzGameShop has a few physical copies for $40 with free shipping, which seems to be the cheapest option. I threw $60 Valve's way earlier today, though, so it'll have to wait.

Who said anything about Windows 8? >_>

The same applies to Windows 7.
Shit, how many pages is that? I just tore out a page from a notepad hoping that was enough.took a screenshot of Fez's late-game gameplay:
Stumpokapow
listen to the mad man
Took me 4 double-sided pages with fairly small print to get through the game.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
You'll need at least 7-8 sheets in Excel.
Or Football Manager.

jesus christ spoilers guys
shit, sorry. There I've encoded it. Use the special cipher.
Depends on what you like.
FPS: Jedi Outcast / Academy / Republic Commando
Multiplayer FPS (is it still active?): Battlefront II
Third person action: TFU
RPG: KOTOR I if you like Bioware, KOTOR II if you like Obsidian.
RTS: Empire at War is ok.

It depends on how well you handle older games, but I personally think the following that I have played to completion are worth while:
-Knights of the Old Republic
-Knights of the Old Republic II
-Jedi Knight II
-Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy
-Republic Commando
The Force Unleashed and it's sequel are only worthwhile if you are a total whore for Star Wars.
Even then they aren't worth it. Just absolutely awful games. As for what's worth getting I'd add Empire at War to your list.
Hey, I liked TFU1 a lot. It had a decent story and it was an extremely good looking game when it shipped. It also nails the feeling of being an overpowered jedi.
Only problems are that the game basically makes you run through all its content twice (and even then it is short), and they aim with the goddamned character instead of the camera direction. Totally counter intuitive. Oh and that star destroyer minigame part is awful. Still, I really enjoyed TFU1 overall.
TFU2 can die in a fire. That game has no reason to exist.
I am a total Star Wars whore though.
