Now that was pretty cool.brain_stew said:
Why are people buying FUEL? Did you forget that it was regarded as boring as hell? It has a huge open world to drive in, but absolutely nothing to do in it.
I mean, this is what I remember from when it came out, specifically when GB talked about it. But I also played the demo for it when it came out, and my thoughts coincided with the negative comments.
edit: Just saw what the price was for FUEL, thought it was $10.
Fuck it, do whatever the hell you want at that price. :lol :lol
edit2: I mean you can do whatever the hell you want at any price, but this makes a lot more sense.

Its $3.50 for an open world game that people may want to try for themselves.

You can use joy2key to play anything with a gamepad. I played World in Conflict with a 360 controller.WickedLaharl said:

It was posted today, so I don't think so.burgerdog said:
Is it the problem where it only works with 360 (technically XInput) controllers?WickedLaharl said:

Dirt 2 for $10 is fantastic, is it worth getting the pack or are all the games pretty much the same?

the Guinness Record winning world of Fuel
but the article also made it sound like there wasn't a lot to do in that world

Loving Avalanche for the sensibly priced DLC being released on the same day as 360 and PS3. Dual thruster parachute GET!

I'd love to have Dirt 2 to test my 5850, but it's £1.20 more than what I have in my account. Depressing! :lol

Yeah, I mean for $3 or however much it is, it isn't bad. But they really had a cool concept with the game, and then just totally fucked it up.
Is Dirt 2 well optimized? I got burnt on GTA4 running at 23fps even though my gpu can handle Crysis at fairly high settings (Mobile Radeon 5650) and really don't want to spend money on games just because they are cheap anymore.
Dirt, Grid and Fuel are obvious buys and I'm thinking of skipping the other games in the pack in favour for X3 Terran Conflict, I guess you control that with the mouse?

I use the 360 controller on a retail copy of GRID.

Amazing deals all this week. Grabbing Fuel now.
Also, for those checking out X3TC, be sure to visit the mod forums. there's all sorts of cool stuff there.

I am having some problems with using the ENB series mod with my Steam version of GTA: SA. It seems to be installed and when I enable it with shift + F12, sure enough something happens but the performance is ridiculous, like 5 fps, and it sure doesn't look like the screenshots posted. This is with an ATI 5870 2GB.legend166 said:

Yeah I don't think Vice City will be a problem. From what I've gathered, there's three versions of San Andreas:
1.0 - The original retail release.
2.0 - The retail release after the hot coffee fiasco.
3.0 - Digital download versions.
All the mods seem to be made for version 1. You can get a patch (unofficial) that 'downgrades' version 2.0 to version 1.0 and allow you to use mods. I'm seeing people suggest that the way to get the Steam version to work is to download a v1 exe, copy that into the steamapps/common/gtasa folder and then add the game to Steam as a non-Steam game. I haven't downloaded it yet though so I can't test it out.
Full framerate. That's with the ENB mod and there's a particle upgrade as well which I applied. Running a Q9550 quad core with an overclocked 5830.Kayhan said:
Can confirm it works with Dirt 2. Full rumble and everything without need for config. So glad that the 360 controller became the defacto standard for PC controllers.Firebrand said:
Can anyone confirm whether it works with the first Dirt, Fuel and TOCA 3?

Okay what the hell is up with Guild Wars.
Seriously, it just got downloading through Steam and when I ran it a window popped up and said Unable to connect, blah blah blah.
What's wierder though is that I can go to the acccount pages and what not on NCsofts website, but I can't go to http://www.guildwars.com/ Firefox says it can't find the server. http://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/ says that it's up though.
Can anyone help or is anyone else having this problem? My ports are open, Gw.exe is an exception on Windows Firewall, and no one on Steam Forums or GW fan forums or wikis or NCsofts site has an answer or even mentioned it. I seem to be the only one with the problem.
Sucks I payed $20 for a damn dialog box.

Dirty deeds and they're done dirt cheap!
Just tried www.guildwars.com and its loads fine so it might be a problem with your ISP. If you get to https://secure.ncsoft.com/login it seems like just the GW servers/URL are unreachable for youMrMister said:
Have you tried running a traceroute or ping to www.guildwars.com to see if anything is being blocked?MrMister said:
