You have uncovered an infiltrator, a lowly console peasant trying to infiltrate the headquaters of the glorious PC master race! No one of the PC master race would pass down an offer like this.TheOneGuy said:

I enjoyed the controls much more than the 360 version, but of course the AI is the same. Aside from that, the inventory system was overhauled, and the interface in general is fine tuned for the PC.

The tactical command menus are fantastic and are reason enough for you get it on PC.
I got up to the part where you fight Saron? and end up on some greeny planet with a giant underground bunker. Then my 360 failed and I never got back to the game. How far along was I from the end? Im definitely making a female character this time no more ugly space marines.
I know the description is vague sorry.

PC version is better. The 360 version runs like crap, there are more than a few areas in the game where the framerate will nosedive into the singles and it's nowhere near 30 90% of the time. Gave me a headache a few times.
Loading times are better, Mako controls, oh yeah and HOTKEYS for your damn abilities. Dunno why there weren't any in the 360 considering the controller realestate that wasn't really used

Anyone else having trouble with ea store? I can't get it to let me check out the dlc.

Holy shit I just started playing Mass Effect and this is leagues ahead of the Xbox360 version. Between the insane frame rate I am getting, 1650x1080 resolution, and the newly overhauled interface, it is definitely worth the price of admission. Fighting is so much more fluid and enjoyable now. Seriously it is like an entirely new game to me, I am going to go through this again. I think this has convinced me to cancel my 360 pre-order for Mass Effect 2 if it comes out on release day on Steam.

You are in for a treat. Hold off playing till you get that upgrade because ME maxed at 1080p with or without AA forced looks stunning.
To tell you the truth, i'm ok with that. I mean, the game IS coming out on your region. They have to, somehow, filter which ips can access the game at which dates.Zefah said:
What bothers me is games that are NOT becoming available on my country. In that case, technically, Steam wouldn't need to have a ip check for my country, since the game is not coming out here anyway.
If the ip region check is only in place when the game IS coming out, that only makes sense. Otherwise, we're screwed.
Only trouble i have with the EA Store is that it's the EA Store. Sorry that doesn't help you though.Zaraki_Kenpachi said:

I am not exagerating, it is a night and day difference with the console version. The only reason I got the console version was because I thought it was developed for the console in mind with a shitty PC port, but I was completely wrong.Archie said:I was impressed with what I saw, so I can't even begin to imagine ME at 60fps and 1680x1050. Granted, the last time I played ME was on a SDTV and I could barely make out the text.

I don't think that the DLC from the EA store is compatible with the Steam version just in case. I know the Mirrors Edge DLC isn't.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.

Just wanted to give some appreciation for this person! I did the promo, got the 5 dollar credit to use on Mass Effect, and randomly won the NCAA 2010 game (which I'll try and sell once it arrives, hopefully sometime before the next iteration drops).
So, MAJOR THANKS!

Is there a way of launching a steam game without steam?
I'll explain. I got an eeePC and I want to install both runaway games. BUT I don't want steam to be installed, not the steam service or anything as the computer specs are quite low so I'm trying to be minimal on what I install on it to not fuck up the performance on the rest of the system.
So is there any way of installing steam, installing the games and removing steam while the games are still there?
Thanks!

So I'm playing through ME again, this time as a male arsehole (which the game calls a Renegade). I'm planning to skip all the sidequests and extraneous dialogue and run straight through the campaign. The PC experience is far better than the 360 one so everyone should be taking advantage of this deal.
Still love the soundtrack, it's the only video game soundtrack I've purchased (I do own others which came as freebies).
On the game's Steam info page there's something about running as Administrator under Vista; I'm running under Windows 7 and can start it straight from Steam. Also there are no activation requirements beyond Steam itself so you can ignore any of those old reviews that complain about it.

the first Runaway game is on GOG and $2 off this week
that's your best bet for that game based on what your looking for
Steam doesn't have a large footprint though
right now it's only taking up 12MB of my 4GB of RAM and when I have a game running (Mass Effect for this example) it goes up to about 30MB, so I wouldn't worry too much

Really?
one of the reasons I fear replaying Mass Effect is because of the elevators. If they removed them on PC, then it's bought.

One of the updates in the last week added in integration with Windows 7. It's really nice.

Damn... that Mass Effect is so tempting. I already played through once on 360, but if I ever play it again I'd rather do it on the PC. Problem is I'm not sure if I want to play it again, though I might do it once the ME2 hype train gets to me.
Yeah, the recently played list is really nice. This is the first time I've actually used jumplists with any regularity.McBacon said:
