Wait, is this in the beta? Because I'm not getting this...

On the one hand, yay new community update. On the other, boo PixelVision is horribly broken and needs to be patched. Back to the crappy default skin...
I just won Soul Reaver 1 off a kind gaffer so I'll just focus on that one and see about buying the others as they come.
I've played tons of Soul Reaver 1 on PS1, beaten Defiance on PS2, I know what I'm missing
It's just outfits, but they give bonuses to stats as well.

Hell yes, awesome find.
I'm not getting that either and I am in the beta stream, time to restart I guess.

Do you have the time, patience and tolerace for the archaic mechanics of these games? Just because it's relative "cheap" there's no reason to impulse buy them.
Saving grace is the narrative, at least in the first 2. This is one series that needs an update quick, the universe is really intriguing so it kind of being wasted hanging in the dev limbo.
You say that like it's a bad thing.
Don't listen to him. 3 games, 4.50 dollars. even if they sucked and you hated them beyond belief, $1.50 per game isn't something to lose sleep over. Go on, what have you got to lose.
or don't, whatev's
On a serious note though the real answer is to maybe look at a few reviews, screenshots. Make an informed decision on whether or not you think they are worth your time and money.
I just put all my Dota 2's up for the lowest price, it's cool we can just get crap out of our inventory, even if it never sells. I think it's strange there are nearly half a million Dota 2's for basically free, and Steam still sells it for £20. I wish we could just give stuff away though.
EDIT: I've just sold three of them, wow, that was quick.

Restart fixed my issue, new drop down menu system is indeed a worthy improvement.

I remember I really really liked Soul Reaver 1, but looking at some videos, I realize that the game has aged quite badly.
I hope they'll do another one one day, but Amy Hennig works at Naughty Dog now.
You're buying it more for the cosmetics it comes with. Didn't realize there were that many dota 2 gifts on the market though. Pretty crazy.
Yeah, more if you count the 'wrapped gift' version too.
I was mistaken though, it wasn't my Dota 2's that sold, just some TF2 crap.

Think your decision is taken then?
No doubt Henning was a powerful force that shaped the series. It was really head and shoulders above most games back in those days. So yes, one has to wonder if it could get the groove back.
Yet a well done Vampire related game could do quite well these days. People seem as fascinated as ever with this creatures. At least teenage girls that is.
Same here. I had to opt out of the beta, restart, then opt in and it started updating.

So, how have these aged? I've always wanted to get into this series.

Delete ClientRegistry.blob. I realise it's practically a meme with Steam problems, but it also solves most Steam problems.

Doesn't work all the time though, there's a glitch in the matrix somewhere.

Re: Kain collection for $4.50
If jaggies and dated/"ugly" graphics prevent you from enjoying a game then I'll make an exception, otherwise there's no reason not to pick up the Kain games for $1.50/each. We're not talking about the shovelware shit Jase and I buy on Steam during holiday sales because it's cheap; these are actually great games (Ok, it's debatable whether they're ALL great...). If you like good games regardless of their age I can't think of a reason not to. Hell, someone give me OG Blood Omen and I'll play that sucker right now.

I don't have a problem with old games, I finished Deus Ex a week or so ago for the first time and loved every second of it. I have a problem with spending more money when I know I won't play those games. I'll pass for now, even though they are really cheap.
Is Soul Reaver 2 any good? It's the one I played the least and I remember very little about it.
Hell yes, it's great. Story and game are very memorable.

Understandable. I just meant if someone meant to play them. They'll be cheap again and again, no doubt.

I recommend to you to buy the entire collection, if you want to know all the story about Raziel, buy them, you won't regret it bro!
And I may pick them up then. I loved the demo for Soul Reaver 2 back in the day, but when I finally got the full game, I didn't understand much of it due to the dialogue being in English without subtitles. And I got lost at some point and never found out where I was supposed to go. So then I forgot about it and don't know if I still have the game disc at home.
From what little I'd played it was fun, so there's a chance I'll get them sometime.

I'm left with an extra Soul Reaver 1 key, so first one to ask, assuming they haven't played it, gets it

Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver was soo good when I played it ages ago on PS1. One of these days, I want to replay it
I would have to get through my backlog first though. $4.50 is a steal and if you also have the extra 20% off available, you can get if for $3.60.

I just noticed a bunch of Activision retail subs in the registry. Timeshift, COD4, Vampire, GUN, and Monster Jam. This is usually the case when a site picks up Steam keys (amazon/gmg...). You may finally get your Timeshift.
I always confuse Gun with the cancelled EA game Gunhead. (We had a thread on it, but Tinypic has reassigned the URLs.)
Edit: A bit "thank you!" to Xelios for gifting me that game I've been banging on about since its disappearance from the recent Winter Sale. I didn't notice the "You've received a gift!" window (I never do; it needs to be more obnoxious) and apparently it's been patiently sitting there for the past 10 hours.

Fuck Steam is a pain with file transfers. I just did a format and used SteamTool to backup my accumulated data. I've copied across Tomb Raider, but Steam is being a piece of shit and assuming it doesn't exist, and downloading all the content again. It's pointlessly replacing every single complete file with another copy.
Is there a way to prevent this? Because I have a complete Tomb Raider file install sitting there and I don't want to download the game again for no reason. Can I make Steam actually detect the accumulated files? Verifying the data did nothing.

Are you sure it's downloading? Because the file discovery just goes in the downloads section sometimes I think.
Move the installation folder out of the steamapps folder, uninstall the game, move the folder back and then install the game again.

Yeah, it was. It was giving me horror flashbacks of Steam downloading FEAR2 and Empire: Total War while the retail disk was spinning in the drive.
Lovely. Wonderful. Thank you.
So should I just sell all these games at Gamestop and turn them into Steam Wallet cards?
I own all of these games on Steam except 4.
I own the PS2 version of MGS2 and can emulate that on PC anyways.
I have no desire to play MW2, Perfect Dark, and Fable II ever again.
Next time click Steam > back up and Restore games
Just copy the files over to your new drive and click restore when you get Steam installed.

is there a place to see exactly what a current beta is adding?
Now, as a fellow 670 owner, you can enjoy the game constantly crashing.
Edit: Oh, I misread your post and thought you were suggesting that he use Steam to restore data backed up via other means. Never mind!

You are not going to get dick at gamestop, and the original xbox games will be declined.

There was one guy who thought the same. He was killed in the cutscene.
