Couldn't find the stupid questions thread, and since most of my gaming friends are from Steam-GAF, I'll ask here.

I'm making a PSN account. Does the ID/Nick system work like in Steam? It says I should use my e-mail as my ID, but I don't like that idea. Also, can I change my nick later?

Thanks guys

You login with your email, but you have a separate user name. It can't be changed as of yet.

Even though it's not a great update to the original game, the price is quite fair now (still less interesting than GG's crazy RPGs pack, but for convenience I want my games on Steam).

Yes you can (I did ^^).

Had to use a different browser but I managed to buy it using paypal.

Is there anything wrong with the PC version of Battlefront 2?

 

[lazybones18]

Don't have anywhere else to put this, but I have a Steam key for Half-Minute Hero that I don't plan on using, so if you want it, first one to send me a PM gets it

It's mediocre. Oh and the netcode is a joke. It might have been cool on Xbox and PS2, but PC has always been held to a higher netcode standard, thanks to Based Carmack.

 

[DeVeAn]

Are the unleashed Star Wars games decent ports on PC? I know the games are meh but how is the conversion?

 

[HoosTrax]

Oh noes, lambentstew is down for the foreseeable future. What was that other Steam fan site that had game completion / unplayed games stat info.

Locked at 30 (there are supposed 60 fps .exes but I have never gotten one to function and I am a goddamn beast at PC shit so don't expect much there). 1080p and higher breathes a lot of life into the art which can look pretty damn great at times and a wired 360 pad works like a charm. There are a couple sound issues with simple fixes.

Oh yeah, the second one is the one I was thinking of, thanks!

Thank you, I think I will grab em.

Legacy of Kain Collection is out of keys in GamersGate, meh.

Ok if you have a 360 pad or equivalent. Otherwise you are talking about things like no mouse in the menus, QTE prompts not matching your control scheme and that sort of thing.

The second one did have a little bit more effort in this regard.

Otherwise besides the crazy download and install size of especially the first one (From memory ~16GB download for a 30GB install!), they generally do the job.

Yea, I use the 360 pad for damn near everything I can.

 

[UnluckyKate]

So am I reading the Anomaly deal right ?

You get 2 copy for the discounted price of one ?

 

[Syril]

But no serious stability or compatibility issues or anything? I'd just be screwing around in single player stuff anyway.

Can you tell me where to go to fix the sound issues its skipping non stop on SWFU2.

 

[Madrugador]

PC gaming has really spoiled me. I was playing God of War 3 and I find it blurry as fuck.

1080p for life.

yea i tried ninja gaiden and jet set on ps3 and i couldn't play,looked very low quality.

Fuck wanted to play SWTFU2 and game has tearing and slow mo. Can't seem to find a sound fix. Damn instant regret on this one.

The first Force Unleashed was decent. The second one is horribad.

 

[MDSLKTR]

Too bad the 60fps fix makes it highly enjoyable. It actually made me complete it trough the end.

 

[Beth Cyra]

Nevermind, fixed the issue.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Nuuvem works again?

Yes, I hooked the one and only Salsashark up with my extra copy.

 

[Salsa]

yis, thanks for that! I talked to ya but I think you were busy

 

[UnluckyKate]

so bought. Thanks

 

[DeVeAn]

If I play in window mode it plays fine. I just wish it was borderless window.

 

[Mass Effect]

Judging by the responses, I'm guessing the Force Unleashed 2 isn't even worth the ~$7 sale price. I enjoyed the original (for the most part, played it on 360), is the second one that bad? Is it a decent PC port?

I was thinking:

Battlefront 2
Starfighter
Maybe TFU2 OR TFU

 

[FloatOn]

yis, thanks for that! I talked to ya but I think you were busy

No problem. Had any of my other steam friends had it on their wishlist you might have had some competition

Spoiler

probably not

. I've been out all night so my wife must have closed the chat window because I don't see anything now.

maybe we could give the multiplayer a go some time.

 

[Stallion Free]

What sound card do you have?

 

[JaseC]

Wasn't it like half that a week or so ago on Gamersgate? $24 seems pretty steep.

You may be thinking of the £16.75 Game UK bundle. Incidentally, the bundle is the only way to get the non-Steam pre-order DLC.

I think I've seen this movie.

You got me to look into it again and I found a different link from the Guru3d original here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fSg9dSFHraw

And that worked flawlessly for me. I'm glad you incentivized taking another google at it.

So what's up with Alien Swarm, has Valve said anything about it since it's release? I just noticed while freeing up some harddrive space and it seems like Valve has forgotten about it too.

The Alien Swarm remake is nothing but a proof-of-concept release to showcase the versatility of the then-most-recent Source SDK.

Remember how tile-gen was gonna be a big deal? Oh wait! The community still built shit for maps!

At least we got a few Episode Three references!

 

[SteveWinwood]

I always thought that it was mostly laying the groundwork for dota. Ya know top down source shit.

 

[The Broken Ska Record]

Just finished playing Crysis 2. It looked pretty with my new video card, and the game was okay. Next up, I'm gonna play Bioshock Infinite. I would try playing FC3BD, but I think that'd be too close to the "same" type of game.

 

[Stallion Free]

I think it was just a project on the side by the old devs who actually built the first game.

 

[Pudge]

Can anyone explain to me why the first Force Unleashed game is a normal retail sized install, but Force Unleashed 2 is a crazy 30GB? I thought the second one had less content in it.

 

[JaseC]

I don't think that was the intention at the time development begun. BCG was snapped up by Valve in 2008 whereas IceFrog didn't join the nest until late 2009. Fortunate timing, though!
