Amazon is going to price Dark Souls @ $7.49 next week.

Now that I know I can run it, I may bite.

Holy shit, I just finished the first Dark Forces and it's one of the best FPS games I have ever played.

Like, I would seriously put it up there with DOOM 1 & 2 / Duke Nukem 3D. Underrated as fuck yo. If you like old school shooters and / or Star Wars, I can't recommend it enough.

Now to begin the Jedi Knight trilogy. Weeeeee.

Sam and Max Collection

Monkey Island 1, 2 and Tales of Monkey Island - The first two Monkey Islands are essential, some of the best games of all time. If you like them, you might as well play the Telltale ones(Tales of). Of course, you should make an attempt to find a copy of the third Monkey Island, The Curse of Monkey Island, even though it's not on Steam. It's my personal favorite... The fourth one, Escape From Monkey Island, is not really worth going out of your way for unless you become a HUGE fan. Whatever you do, don't get the PS2 version of EFMI.

These two posts are filled with so much win.

Anyone used kinguin before I'm thinking of buying some games off there? Also if ye have are there any promo codes for kinguin?

 

[Nillansan]

Is The Night of the Rabbit coming to steam?

I would think so, all of Daedelic's more recent releases have hit the major DD services simultaneously.

 

[Phinor]

Anyone else experiencing problems with Steam? Library works fine, but everything else gives me Error Code: -130. Even the store front fails to load although it works just fine in a browser. Actually installing games is broken too so library is only half-working. This started yesterday and I thought it'd go away by itself but it doesn't seem likely now.

Changing content server doesn't seem to help. Even deleting ClientRegistry.blob didn't help, I'm clueless.

I've just bought a new laptop and can finally take advantage of pc games and Steam. Can any recommend some good point and click adventures? Maybe something a little different graphics design wise? I've played The Walking Dead on Xbox as that seems to be a common recommendation from people around the net Thanks.

Could be a DNS issue. Try using Google's own DNS servers.

 

[Deques]

Oh shit, looks like L has found me. Gotta run guys.

Oh, no! Just got invited to the group! Should I join?

 

[MMBosstones86]

Will drool on it



I only see 111 more games, and one person who likes it. Am I bugged?

Are you in the beta?

 

[Fuu]

Great. It never went lower than $15 from what I'm seeing. Think I'll jump in to check what the hoopla is about, my brother loves this game too.

Anyone here played the entire game using the Durante fix? Apparently it can cause some HUD issues at bosses and whatnot.

 

[Deques]

Are you in the beta?

Why is this a question is being asked for everything? I logged in through the website and see it there, not in the client

That's the cheapest so far yet. Jump on it when its available.

How is Primal Carnage?

Doesn't seem like a DNS issue. Everything Steam related works great as long as I'm not using the Steam client itself. The Steam program simply fails to open any site (community etc. are all websites as well that open fine on a browser, but Steam client just hands me a -130 error.)

Have to try a complete re-install next.

edit: Well in the end it was one of those classics. I used a program to watch BBC online yesterday and forgot that it crashed and thus failed to remove the proxy settings it needs. Steam uses Windows proxy settings while my browser and other stuff do not. At least my Steam install is now 800+ files lighter

Ah, missed that. Have you tried opting in/out of the client beta (depending on where you stand currently)?

Could be a firewall issue blocking packets to and from the Steam client. Just a suggestion.

Is it a Steam key? Can I get it if I'm in the UK?

 

[Tomodachi]

Is it a Steam key? Can I get it if I'm in the UK?

Yeah, just add a random (real) US address using google maps or something to your amazon account and you're good to go.

 

[JaseC]

Is it a Steam key? Can I get it if I'm in the UK?

Yes and yes. You'll need to nominate a US billing address to purchase, however; just use that of Google's CA-based HQ (don't worry, it doesn't need to match that of your card).

Edit: Beaten.

 

[Jawmuncher]

How is Primal Carnage?

Its a fun MP game with Dinosaurs. Nothing more nothing less.
However the get to the chopper mode is where the real fun lies.

That's the cheapest so far yet. Jump on it when its available.

I'll be grabbing it. Want the DLC anyway, so I might as well enjoy the whole game again and the DLC.

 

[Sysgen]

Is Rocketbirds good?

The art style and awesome music are a +. Never finished it.

 

[ArjanN]

It's in the registry.

So make a US amazon account with a US address but use my real billing address for my cc? Got it.

Will steam take issue with me redeeming a US key?

 

[DagsJT]

No issues with Steam but some banks may charge a fee for overseas transactions.

 

[JaseC]

So make a US amazon account with a US address but use my real billing address for my cc? Got it.

You can just add a secondary, US-based address to your existing Amazon account during checkout.

Will steam take issue with me redeeming a US key?

In some cases it will (e.g. Amazon's Inversion keys are region-locked), but Dark Souls will activate just fine.

 

[morningbus]

Will steam take issue with me redeeming a US key?

Not in this case. Some keys do have region locks on them, though.

 

[AHA-Lambda]

Ah ok, thanks guys

Well no, you use a US billing address.

do we know if there is more DLC planned for X-Com ?

"Something really awesome" is due later in the year.

Staring at Last Light.

 

[dreamfall]

Staring at Last Light.

I gifted it to a good friend, but it's not for me. It looks ridiculously atmospheric, and will probably be beautifully haunting. I played about eight hours of the first, and it definitely freaked me out a bit. But I loved all the open dialogue, and the wonderfully scary moments of losing oxygen or taking on beasts without any ammunition.

What are you thinking?

 

[Sarcasm]

Pre-Ordering. Loved the first. Just about to go back to school and have to worry about xfering money to the states (home country).

 

[JaseC]

Today's Daily is 75% off Magicka ($2.49 or $7.49 for a four-pack [~$1.87 per head]).

 

[SteveWinwood]

So glad Magicka got a sale. One of the steam white whales people had been waiting on, and good thing too because so few people own it.

 

[kaleii]

The sarcasm, it's so thick.

I wonder how many people actually beat this game or spent any real length of time with it.

Remember that time Magicka was on sale? I think it was Tuesday.

Probably not many around here since people seem to be averse to co-op and singleplayer removes about 95% of what makes the experience fun. I had a blast playing through it with 2 friends.

It's because we have no friends.

I bought it at launch with some friends and had a blast. It's a fun game.

Yeah. The only reason I haven't completed it is because I can't find any friends that want to play it. They all seem uninterested in it.

Good timing. Just started on Book of Unwritten Tales and was hoping that Critter Chronicles would go on sale soon.

Put an hour into it yesterday and it feels a lot more intuitive of a point-and-click than say, Deponia.
