@ epmode: impulse games have their savegames where you set them to?
I played the demos of both FEAR games and they still don't interest me all that much. I still fail to see what has everyone on these games so much. They both feel like "other" first person shooters, I also fail to see the appeal of bullet time anymore.
The only FEAR product that caught my slight interest was the demo for the FEAR 2 DLC campaign which had some strangely nice level design.

that is one thing I would buy instantly instead of waiting for a sale

In the case of fear I don't think the demos sum up how nicely bullet time and good design can feel. Besides max payne I think the genre in that area was garbage and fear if your into those types of fps is at that level. Most fps games feel like each other. It's just grinding, tactics, and shooting all else is fluff and meaningless. I play the grene for that very reason it keeps it simple.
FEAR was great because of the combat. The AI would try to outflank you and would properly fallback when they knew they weren't getting the upper hand. Most other FPSs would just have AI that would just stand there, acting as human turrets, waiting for you to mow them down in their futility to suppress you.
My favorite thing to do is to play without the SloMo. Some very fast paced and fierce combat.

Impulse allows you to specify an installation folder for every game you download. Doesn't affect the save file, unless the file is stored in the game's default installation path (which almost never happens, sadly).
I seriously doubt that the Steam update will allow users to specify a savegame location since that is entirely up to the game's developers.

I don't really need a tag, but I figured I'd get one to make people jealous. Is it working?

From the website FAQ:
It sounds like...GTA, Second Life, and EVE all wrapped in one? I don't know if that sounds unbelievably awesome or just horrifying in it's potential for addiction. I have to say I feel really tempted to try it out, but not 50$ tempted.

One thing that concerns me is a game like this is dependent on others playing it, and I don't have confidence that there will be enough players to warrant a purchase at $50. Like you said, the potential is there but the execution and amount of people taking part is what is putting me to the No Thanks corner... at least for now.

Can anyone connect to Steam? It's been unable to connect to the server or stuck in an update since last night for me (Aus). I got it working finally by copying my Steam folder from my lappy (XP) over to my PC (Win7 64bit) which got it working. But after a restart the same shit is happening.
clientregistry.blob deletion is doing nothing either, its fucking frustrating basically all my games are on Steam and I can't do shit about it. :l
I JUST WANT TO PLAY CIV, IS THAT SO BAD STEAM?!?! ANSWER MEEE!!!

That's what you get for trying to play games when you should be doing homework.

No idea what that is?evlcookie said:
But yes I think I will try reinstalling it, thanks for reminding me to backup the game folder though, in my aggravation I almost forgot about that. :lol
This is the price of graphics and performance I guess :/ Even though its really just Steams fault, if they can put out a Mac version they should fucking make one that actually works with 64 bit Windows 7 or just 64 bit in general.
Edit:
Nah, I dont have freys, I'm with TPG...

It's the way they pay for MMORPGs in Asia. Or actually they pay by the minute. Almost like a phone service.
In Korea nobody does "Monthly fees".

Oh man, 10$ on F.E.A.R. 1 + x-packs, I didn't even stop to give it thought. Discs replaced
Aon said:
Depends on your meaning. While I am by no means an expert in the genre, it's one of the deepest sims I've played. The game definitely holds its own as a sim, love of the game or no. If anything, though, it might be too deep. While the series has improved over the years in easing new players in, it's a pretty big system that allows you so much control over so many aspects that I'm not sure how someone who isn't necessarily familiar with the sport will take to it. The AI for the assistant coaches is certainly better than it used to be, so you'll have some help when it comes to tactics, at least.
I don't know. I can't say for certain that you'll like it, but it's definitely worth giving it a shot while free.
Just bought my copy.

I would say yes, but you need at least a bit of an understanding of soccer, enough so you know where the positions are and in general what tactics are useful in different areas. You don't need to be a super hardcore football nut, though. I only sort of follow the game, haven't played it since I was 7-ish, and I love FM 2010 just for the management bits.

What's the problem then? It's working fine on my 32 bit systems so...Twig said:
I cant even open the damn thing, it won't even open to offline mode. It's still being a pos, I think I might have to cop it and try a reinstall.

Give me yours
Twig said:
I would normally say the same thing but earlier this week actually something caused my Steam install to screw up and I couldn't access any of my games ("This game is unavailable, please try again later") until I reinstalled Steam. Idk if it had anything to do with 64bit Windows, but I'm sure it didn't help.
Will they ever fix the chat bug? I'm already fed up of having to restart Steam when it's been open for long and a pal enters and we can't voice chat because I won't listen to him, or him to me.
And they should also add more filters to L4D games, or something like that. As of late, everytime I try to create a game, it's like random. I may choose Advanced dificulty, in Crash Course and play Easy on Dead Air or Versus in some other scenario.

FEAR 1, Just Cause 2. I would wait for more reviews on Alpha Protocol. Definitely wait for a sale on FEAR 2.

Its possible. More likely IMHO is they will include F.E.A.R. 1 as a gift (don't quote me on that). But realize F.E.A.R. 2 is a Steamworks title so you have to register the retail copies via Steam. Find it cheaper than $20 and buy it if you want.

JC, if it's your thing (meaning if you're a gamer that puts emphasis on well-rounded game mechanics, decent graphics and enjoys openworld stuff). The game falls completely flat story-wise, but provides a great world to go bonkers in.Dice said:
F.E.A.R 1 Dunno if I'd still recommend it. Played through it back in the day, it held up okay back then, now I probably wouldn't play more than an hour of it. Best aspects: AI, slomo, gun look&feel, effect work, surprise horror scenes. Weakest parts: Story, level design, complementary story content, multiplayer.
F.E.A.R 2 Heard good things. That's all I can say.
Hold back on AP until you're absolutely sure that you're gonna love it.
Also, watch some videos.

Well I guess I won't be playing the F.E.A.R. games. I just learned the PC versions don't use the 360 controller, which I need since my PC isn't on a desk (I use a trackball mouse for windows, it sucks for games) I know I could get xpadder or something but that kind of mapping blows.

The way you think it sounds and the way it is are pretty far apart.
Aon said:
I'm not sure what you mean by pure management sim, but Football manager is probably the deepest management sim around, though i couldn't say for sure. Of course, with that depth comes an extremely complex and difficult to learn game. However, a lack of interest on soccer should not prevent you from learning it and enjoying it. The only thing you really need is a reasonable understanding of tactics.
If you do decide to play it, i and probably several other posters could probably give you some pointers.
