Get the trilogy. Definitely worth it. The base game is solid, but the expansions add some features that are rather nice, like controllable NPCs.MrMister said:

Just change your settings. Mine looks pretty similar to how it was before.
Sort by status (I sorted by it, then hid the column). Set it to all games. Hide whatever columns you don't want.

Yeah I had frequent frame drops and stutters for no apparent reason, and the camera seemed.. not sure how to describe it, but jerky, not smooth at all when moving it with the mouse while walking.

I'm kind of sad I missed the GTA classic pack. Hopefully, they'll have a free for all so I can pick it up again or SA and VC for 2.50. These instant deals are ridiculous. Just have a daily deal and be done with it. It just frustrates people when your marketing people pull stupid stunts like these.

Man, I've been missing all of these R* sales, but I managed to snag Max Payne 2. Anyway I can use a PS3/360 controller with it? I just can't imagine playing Max Payne without a controller.

Runs perfectly here too, just had to disable the trails because holy hell was that a mess to look at. Way too much motion blur
. I'm actually shocked at how great it ran for being an old game. usually I have to toy around with some kind of options other than just upping the resolution and turning off one feature I don't like. And it looks super clean too. Very impressed.Mess around with the view options, you can get that back.firehawk12 said:
You'll want the "Small View", and then just sort by installed or all games. If you add all your installed games to your favorites, (or use categories), you can then have all your installed games on top in the favorites view (or all games view if you use categories).

Max Payne 2 is so mine, too.
I wish these were 24 hour sales. I've only caught this one and Vice City. I was tempted by Bully but £4 still seemed a bit much for that game, as bad as that sounds as I've heard it's really good.

My brain can't process that. Precision is required on the PC version.

I go to Uni for 3 hours today and Max Payne 2 is on sale for those very hours. Just wonderful. Hopefully they'll repeat the sales in a Friday blitzkrieg or something. (Perhaps they should not market it like that, though.)

I was considering Guild Wars, but it kinda looks like a typical MMO to me.
I'm glad about this sale, finally the individual chapters are cheaper.
In the original game, the story missions are about 80-100 hours long. I've never beaten the other two, but I'd guess that they're of similar length. The later missions are particularly nice, since you hit the level and equipment cap about 2/3rds of the way through the original game. The rest of the journey is based entirely on your skill and teamwork.
The quests are quite varied, and though there's an occasional frustrating one, they don't have the same repetitiveness of most online RPGs.
It's not. It plays more like a single-player RPG with heavy co-op elements than like WoW or something. When I played through it, I solo'd all the normal quests, then found groups for the story missions.Desaparecido said:

The update supposedly has files that allow it to run on OSX.
GTA 3 will either work well or it won't. Once it has decided how it will run on your computer there is no changing its mind. This is not related to any particular technical issue, but arcane divination that couldn't be charted by human hands.
I remember when it came out for PC, and every reviewer and forum user I came across, people with access to hardware that far out-shined my own, complained about how they could never get the thing to run well. I played it on my stock Geforce 2 which came with the family's PC-World computer and it ran smooth as lubricated butter. A few months after I upgraded to a Geforce 4, but it seemed to make no difference to performance whatsoever. GTA 3 had just decided it liked me and that was that.

The best change was how they "updated" the linux servers completely breaking source and mani admin mods.

It appears to be linked to the frame limiter option, if I turn it off in game, framerate jumps from the locked 30 fps (wtf) to 100+, but if the game has to do any sort of loading, like leaving a building, it crashes. Starting the game with frame limiter off doesn't work at all, and if you have D3DO it causes it to spaz out and beep at you forever. Guess I'll just have to settle for 30 fps unless there's some fix for it.

San Andreas 75% off - $4.99 - for 4 hours.
It works very well as either an occasional play or a game you can really get into.John said:
The PVP arena queues are short (30 second wait), there's a ton of quests and story "missions" are broken down into such a way that makes it easy for players to play for a bit at a time.
Where as a game like WoW involves a lot of prepping and walking from point A to B before being able to do C, Guild Wars is all about just jumping in and playing.
Edit: All this guild wars talk makes me want to start playing again. :lol

It's 75% off. The questionable thing on their part was throwing in the classics pack in the middle of the individual games. But if you bought GTA III and Vice City first, waiting until this morning for San Andreas was only a difference of $2.50 ($10 vs $7.50).Hawkian said:

Having just picked it up, I want to note that the Steam download for Triology is about 2.2GB, and I'm currently watching a "Downloading..." screen on first launch, and then another download after I created a character. So I wouldn't hold your breath that the Steam version is much better in this regard.
I really didn't mean to type "Triology", but GAF has warped my brain so much that I can't type "trilogy" properly anymore without a lot of concentration.

Man I need to pick up VC. I have everything else. Can someone give the timeline for this sale on Eastern US time. I would buy it now, but I'm in class.
Edit: Got it. 4pm Eastern time. I have to get to a computer!

To be totally fair, I don't know how long it's been since you played WoW but you don't prep or run around anymore. WoW is about standing around town and queuing for dungeons, battlegrounds, or arenas from the menu... you're put in a group after a few seconds and teleported to the instance automatically - if people leave the group they're replaced by the dungeon finder tool. You can technically still run around from place to place and do quests, like while you're leveling (that's the bulk of the fun for most people) but it's unnecessary and slow.IPoopStandingUp said:

So, is San Andreas pretty good on the PC? I've never played it before, and five dollars was too good a deal to pass on.
