Support NeoGAF

[Diablohead]

Ugh, I can't imagine anything worse than playing a game like EWJ on the fucking iPhone.

Some of us can actually use a touchscreen to play games rather well just a case of getting over the learning curve and having a different feel then pressing buttons. It is the future!

Anyway point is, the remake with better sprites and artwork is cheaper elsewhere.

Somehow I missed out on basically all Valve games except Counter-Strike I thought it be fun to finally catch up. Apparently my old CD version of Half-Life doesn't support widescreen, so I'll have to re-buy it from Steam. Is Half-Life: Source the definitive experience? Are the old expansion packs (Blue Shift and Opposing Force) widescreen compatible? Are they even worth playing at all?

What's the better value? Half-Life: Source combined with the Orange box or maybe I should just go for the Valve Complete Pack? 90€ seems a bit steep.

Half-Life 1 is $10 on Steam and it supports widescreen. I started replaying it recently and it holds up incredibly well, IMO.

 

[epmode]

Or you could just enter your Half-Life key into steam and get the expansion packs.

Assuming that is still possible.

It's still possible. He should totally do it.

And the other guy's right. HL1 DOES support widescreen when updated through Steam. Looks great too.

Hunking great newb question here:

I'm trying to purchase Dragon Age Origins via Paypal. This is the first thing I've ever bought using either Steam or Paypal.

When I click the link to 'Begin Paypal Purchase' it opens up a new browser window that tries to transfer me to the Paypal site (fine up to now) then comes up with a Paypal window that tells me that 'Sorry an error occurred after you clicked the last link'.

Any advice??

Edit: nvm, sorted.

Why have a weekend deal on Mass Erect when you just lanced Dragon Age?

Well, I mean, if you're content with inferiority, more power to you.

This . . . I entered my HL1 CD key recently and to my surprise it gave me Counter-Strike, Blue Shift, Opposing Forces, Deathmatch Classic, Day of Defeat, Team Fortress Classic, and Ricochet.

That is a whole lot of gaming from one CD key.

I wasn't surprised about the multi-player stuff but I had previously paid for Blue-Shift and Opposing Forces on CD. I did not have to enter the CD key codes for those.

 

[Des0lar]

FUCK YOU STEAM FOR MASS EFFECT DEAL FUCK

SOOOO TEMPTED FUCK THIS NOOOOO

 

[nubbe]

Mass Effect is most played game this generation.
Beat it 9 times I think

Wow I had no idea about this, just grabbed my disc copy of Blue Shift and got all of the stuff you listed. Very cool.

 

[archnemesis]

I did enter my Half-Life key back in 2003, but I can't remember the password to my old Steam account and I no longer have access to my old e-mail account.

Cause people like me go and buy it after the awesome that is DA >.<

Also people play ME and go 'oh wow, ill get DA too' im guessin!

 

[Dynoro]

£6.50 argh Steam is so evil - I've still yet to play stalker and witcher and dragon age unlocks Friday

 

[speculawyer]

Wow I had no idea about this, just grabbed my disc copy of Blue Shift and got all of the stuff you listed. Very cool.

Yeah, it is over generous. YOu are much better off buying an old retail copy than buying the games off steam.

AWESOME. Been waiting to pick up the PC version after finishing the 360 version way back when. Now I might have time to finish it before the sequel's released!

 

[Lothars]

Yeah I am still playing it on the 360, just to get level 60 which im close but I will be buying it for 10 bucks on steam.

 

[nubbe]

I have bought Mass Erect 3 times now
1x360 and 2xPC

 

[Dead Prince]

can't say no to $10 Mass Effect ;D

 

[careksims]

B-b-but I already have Mass Effect

 

[1138]

Can't say no to Mass Effect for only 7,5 euros, even though i don't own a pc that can run it. Thanks to the weekend deals i now own Stalker, The Witcher, Heroes of Might and Magic 5 and it's expansions, and now also Mass Effect. Plenty of games to play when i eventually buy a gaming pc.

 

[Firestorm]

I did enter my Half-Life key back in 2003, but I can't remember the password to my old Steam account and I no longer have access to my old e-mail account.

Same here =( All I have is a lousy 2007 account from Orange Box now.

 

[Costanza]

Bought Mass Effect. I hope I can actually get into it this time.

 

[Mrbob]

Oh shit.

I beat Mass Effect on 360 3 times, can I make another run on the PC before ME2 is out?

BOUGHT.

 

[Firebrand]

Very nice, been wanting to play ME for a long time but the Steam version used to have a higher price in Europe and I didn't want to deal with the retail version's bullshit DRM. So bought.

 

[GarthVaderUK]

I only have Mass Effect on 360, time to buy the PC version then.

I did enter my Half-Life key back in 2003, but I can't remember the password to my old Steam account and I no longer have access to my old e-mail account.

I tried entering my Half-Life key a couple of weeks ago but apparently it's already been used, but I never entered it before and the game has never left my room

 

[YuriLowell]

I just bought a gtx 275.
I must get Mass Effect also.

I AM BROKE.

 

[RJT]

7,5€ yay for correct $ to € conversion!

Consider this bought.

 

[archnemesis]

I decided to go for the Valve Complete Pack. Anyone need a guest pass for Counter-Strike: Source, Day of Defeat: Source, or Team Fortress 2?

I'd take the first two off your hands.

People have used CD Key generators to take most of the keys by this point. I couldn't use mine a few years ago, since someone already took it. I bought the Steam version when it was $0.98, but I was annoyed that to actually reclaim my CD-key, I'd have to pay Valve $10.

I'd wait until Left 4 Dead 2 is out before getting that.

Send me a PM with your e-mail or Steam account name.

 

[Submarino Conversível]

Argh Steam, I hate you! I hate you!

Have my babies!

 

[Archie]

I can't even run ME and I bought it. Fuck you, Valve.

 

[Zaraki_Kenpachi]

$10 makes me want to buy it again...

 

[xSL4INx]

Hmm...Mass Effect for $10. I want to like this game, I really do, but the slower than balls framerate on the 360 killed it for me. Does the game run any smoother and can you turn the shitty, shitty film grain off on the PC version?

What kind of pc do you have? PC version is pretty much always better unless you have a non-gaming pc.

I thought you could turn the film grain off in the 360 version too?

 

[randomlyrossy]

You can.

 

[x3sphere]

If you have a decent PC, ME runs very smooth. Decent as in at least a 8800GT/HD4850 graphics card.

Do you still own the box and the manual from which the CD-Key is located? You can submit a ticket to Valve about it with a picture of the CD-Key, manual, and/or box then they'll free up the key so you can use it again I believe.

Just add your CD key into Steam, you'll get access to an updated Half Life and a bunch of other titles.

 

[Shard]

Shattered Horizon, Massive Assault, Massive Assault: Phantom Renaissance, Massive Assault Network 2, Doom Rails, Fatale, Earthworm Jim, Earthworm Jim 2, and Earthworm Jim 3D are all now available.

 

[Lone_Prodigy]

*cuddles retail copy of Mass Effect PC*

Yeah I'm a materialistic kind of guy. I was lucky: one elevator crash, no other giant bugs/glitches. I don't think you needed the DVD to play either.

 

[wolfmat]

I beat ME on 360, not gonna cave in. I'm gonna buy the successor on 360 anyway.

I realize the interface is far superior on PC and 7.49€ is rather cheap, but tbh, I have enough stuff to play as it is.

Pretty wicked deal though, anybody who hasn't played ME yet should totally bite, obviously.

 

[BuddhaRockstar]

Oh wow.. can't say no to this.

I <3 you Steam.

 

[Firebrand]

ME on PC doesn't support the 360 pad, does it?

 

[kuYuri]

So tempted to pick up ME. I've already completed it several times on 360 too. :lol

 

[Stallion Free]

ME on PC doesn't support the 360 pad, does it?

No it doesn't support it because they redesigned the interface for mouse and keyboard and it is a million times better.

Nope. You have to have a receipt from the past 30 days (or something like that, I can't remember the exact timing). Otherwise, you have to pay a $10 fee.
