Steam Key for Crysis 2

[Cth]

Can anyone recommend a Steam game available through Amazon for under $15?

After my first 30 minutes with Betrayer. (from the indie games thread)

Really liking what I'm seeing from Betrayer.

The game immediately starts you off on a beach after an apparent shipwreck. No fancy cutscenes or even text introducing you to the character. You're given a bow and taught basic things like what your use and melee attack keys are and that crouching helps you sneak around. You can loot treasure chests and crates for gold and enemies drop weapons that you can use or sell. The death penalty in this game is exactly like Dark Souls, when you die you drop all of your gold and have to go back and pick it up.

The game is a little light on the graphics options right now, all you have is the ability to set it it Low, Med, and High. Kinda strange for a PC exclusive game, but it is still in alpha. Some people have been complaining about eye strain due to the Black and White art style, but that wasn't really a problem for me.

So yeah, these are just my thoughts after about 30 minutes.

This is kind of hilarious after this Humble Bundle.

100 ppp ftw!

 

[phantomspiker]

No, but you can find charms that improve your ability to use weapons. I'm assuming they'll also boost health and defence too....

 

[Prezhulio]

thanks to nexen for dead space!

Is the vsync optioned grayed out for you as well in Betrayer?

Tuco got banned?

yep

 

[TronLight]

They are really devaluating their IPs by doing so, though.

I
I had never gotten deep at all in fighting games and the tutorial in Skullgirls got me up to speed enough to understand hit-confirms, canceling into stuff, and all the other stuff people talked about with fighting games that made me scratch my head and wonder what they were talking about.

It's made me want to go deep on this game and actually get good at it. I don't plan on putting the game down any time soon and the only reason I boot anything else up these days is if a friend wants to play coop/multiplayer with me.

I did the tutorials in Skullgirls. Then forgot pretty much everything they meant to teach me. I really don't have brain space for fighting games. x(

Also, EA bundle, Thief collection on sale and a fuckton of giveaways... dis a good day.

Nice thread title.

EDIT: thanks Krusenstern for Medal of Honor!

Satazius (steam key) just unlocked in the Doujin groupees bundle.

OT but I didn't know Tuco was banned. Hope it's not a perma.

I hope I did this right. All the beat the average games except Riptide.

[Chance Hale]

Man, the performance is kind of fucked. Get the same drops to the mid 40s when moving the cursor at the beach at 1080P as I do at 2880x1620

Combined with the screentearing and art style it's kind of nauseating

Edit: Do have it set to maximum quality though. But ugh, it really runs more poorly than it should. But hey, alpha!

 

[yoshizzle]

Guess I'll wait till later tonight to redeem my stuff on Origin. Going very slow atm.

I hope the 2nd week games in the origin bundle activate on Steam~

I'm hoping for a steam key of either Bulletstorm or Kingdoms of Amalur. Both would be great though!

Satazius STEAM -- MB-B7A6A4985377D800 - Taken by Tellaerin

Bought this on Steam last sale and now they've added steam keys on Doujin Bundle.

Still can't get past stage 2, god I'm so bad at shooters.

God I keep forgetting I own Amalur on Origin. I never load up Origin.

No way the EA bundle will include a steamkey for Amalur. They don't own the Steam version. I think it might still be the state of Rhode Island.

I have no space for dead space. Give me some alive space, EA!

 

[jtb]

cross posting from the OT:

Can anyone tell me how the optimization for Europa Univeralis IV is on OSX (it's steamplay right...)? Because CK2 ran like absolute shit on MBA's out of the gate because Paradox didn't bother coding for the Intel integrated chipsets, despite this being anything but a graphical powerhouse (and it runs perfectly smoothly on Bootcamp, though I'd really prefer not to have to boot up Windows just to play Paradox games with the tiny SSD, etc.). This is pretty important to whether I buy it or not atm.

Optimization is usually one of the last things to go into a game's production. Couple that with the fact that manufacturers haven't optimized their drivers and you have a problem.

If you can't wait for it to go cheaper on Steam, go for Chivalry. Brilliant multiplayer fun.

its running about the same as ck2. choppy and slow.

 

[Retne]

They don't have publishing rights to Kingdoms of Amalur on Steam. I believe those rights lay with Rhode Island.

I'm hoping for an Origin code for Alice so I have at least some way of going back and playing a little of the first game since I managed to lose my old CD. Barring that I certainly wouldn't say no to a DA:O steam key. I never really got into the series but I've heard very good things about DA:O.

I'd be surprised if DS2 wasn't one of the game revealed next week. It seems to be the shoo-in right now.

At least there is an option to turn off mouse smoothing!

That's really disappointing to hear. Don't know why they don't just outsource it like they did with the previous games. Guess I'll wait until it drops like 75%.

Thanks!

I have not either, and I probably never will because I'm too much of a scaredy cat. Enjoy

The NOLURKERS rule on Modbot go off of this thread or the previous one? I know I saw people debating it earlier but wondering if that was settled.
