Do people still play the first Crysis's multiplayer or mainly just Crysis Wars now?

 

[19Kilo]

Think I might finally pick up Bad Company 2 tomorrow...

 

[Volcynika]

you know that for sure? how did you find that out?

and what is military aside from crysis and C&C?!

I gave my soul to Steam.

And I did what Bisonian did.

 

[ClovingWestbrook]

Here's what I'm hoping for:

Need For Speed: Sift ($10.00 or less- 66-75% Off)
Dragon Age: Awakenings ($10- 75% Off)

I will be happy

 

[zombieshavebrains]

Valve, you really make this too easy!

Monday: Crysis
Tuesday: Military
Wednesday: C&C
Thursday: Racing
Friday: Mirror's Edge, Dead Space, Spore
Saturday: Mass Effect
Sunday: Dragon Age

Edited to remove images, we know what they are

Hmm i think i'd bite on BFBC2 and ME2.

Dragon Age: Awakenings ($10- 75% Off)

While we're dreaming, I'd also like a pony :O

 

[ArjanN]

Crysis is still too expensive.

Wrong.

 

[robatw]

hoping for burnout paradise for 10 or under

Neither really, Crysis multiplayer is pretty dead.

 

[Shadow780]

It's a solid list. Which mods to recommends depends on how far you want to go down the rabbit hole. Oblivion modding can get pretty crazy, but I probably wouldn't recommend things like FCOM if you've never modded the game before.

This is probably the most comprehensive mod list/tutorial I've seen.

thanks.

 

[Liquid Helium]

Does Crysis still have the horrible DRM? I'm sick of not buying this game because of it, wish they'd remove it already.

 

[ClovingWestbrook]

Seriously man? It isn't out of the realm of possibilities.

 

[tahrikmili]

I already have bot Crisis games.. And got Dragon age for 5 Euros.. :lol Let's see what else comes up..

 

[Wallach]

What is the problem with the game's DRM? I've never actually noticed what DRM it uses, probably SecuROM?

 

[Bisonian]

Seriously man? It isn't out of the realm of possibilities.

We can't even get 75% off Crysis, let alone two of their bigger and newer games that haven't been on sale before? Trust me I would love to be wrong, as I've been waiting for Awakenings to hit a decent price for a while now.

You do follow steam pretty closely though, and I suppose anything is possible. I'm just not holding my breath. I'd be elated with 50%, personally.

 

[Danneee]

Will buy the dirt cheap games, I will however not bother with lowly 25-50% sales.

Yes, you could say that Steam spoils us..

 

[Acidote]

Fucking SecuROM. They should erase it already for &%(&/ sake, I want Crysis but not with it.

 

[Liquid Helium]

Securom with 5 times install limit.

 

[Schmattakopf]

Oh well that sucks. It looks like it might be good.

 

[Wallach]

Securom with 5 times install limit.

There's a tool to revoke machine licenses if you do hit that limit somehow. Doesn't seem like a big deal.

 

[crimsonheadGCN]

Dogfighter has been released for $12.74. Looks like an interesting flight game.

Meh. Bought it. One of the writers from Voodoo Extreme compared it to Crimson Skies.

 

[dock]

Which Crysis game should I get if I'm just getting one?

Is it a long game? I'm not much of an FPS player, but it might be fun to try it out on my new laptop.

 

[K.Jack]

DA: Awakenings @ 50% off would really make my week.

Go with the original.

What is your laptop's GPU?

 

[epmode]

The tool works for the Crysis expansion but not for the original Crysis. I kind of regret buying it now.

 

[Stallion Free]

That tool only works with Warhead. OG Crysis isn't even picked up by it. And uninstalling it to make space and reinstalling later it counts as another activation. It is utter bullshit it hasn't been patched out by now. I own the game on fucking Steam, I shouldn't have to deal with activation limits as I fucking login in to play games. I had to get another activation from EA and they don't seem to realize that the tool doesn't work on Crysis.

 

[1-D_FTW]

Fucking SecuROM. They should erase it already for &%(&/ sake, I want Crysis but not with it.

Unless it's causing you hardware conflicts, I wouldn't boycott the game on principal. Crysis is amazing and should not be missed. When the game drops to a price you consider throw-away territory, purchase it.

 

[Zachack]

Does Steam DA:A work with retail DA:O, and if so, how?

Do these steps not work for Crysis?

I do not believe it does. I think the Steam version of DA: A is treated as DLC so it is automatically patched in when the original is downloaded.

 

[Deleted member 17706]

The Steam store page does say you need the Steam version of Origins to play it.

Nope, didn't work for me. It's bullshit, so don't even try to come up with an excuse. If there was a built in revoke tool like there is for Batman, that's one thing, but it's fucking stupid with OG Crysis. And 5 installs disappear rather quickly. I shouldn't have to beg for a fucking activation from EA the next time I reinstall the game.

 

[neoism]

EA Week

Today's deal: Crysis and Crysis Warhead 50% off

fucking steam..... damn it

Spoiler

 

[neoism]

Securom with 5 times install limit.

 

[dock]

Go with the original.

What is your laptop's GPU?

I have a Core i7 CPU, and a nVidia 330m GPU.

Why would I come up with an excuse? No offense, but I don't give a shit if it works or not. It was an honest question, I've never hit the installation limit so I didn't know.

 

[LocoMrPollock]

You should be able to play it on medium settings with that.

 

[Kerrinck]

Would be pretty happy with Awakenings or ME2 at 50% off.

 

[Rekubot]

Valve, you really make this too easy!

Monday: Crysis
Tuesday: Military
Wednesday: C&C
Thursday: Racing
Friday: Mirror's Edge, Dead Space, Spore
Saturday: Mass Effect
Sunday: Dragon Age

Edited to remove images, we know what they are

Oh dear. Bad Company 2, Spore and Dragon Age were all insta-buys for me the moment they went on sale. My poor wallet.

 

[The Big Rig]

I wish I had picked up the original Mass Effect during the holiday sale. $5 is a freaking steal. I hope they bring that back.

 

[crimsonheadGCN]

The store page for Medal of Honor should be:

http://store.steampowered.com/app/47740/

It is currently not up right now.

 

[erpg]

Nice, I'm going to be able to skip these deals, because I paid for them at launch day prices! Go me!

 

[POWERSPHERE]

Mirrors Edge for Mac please!

 

[rohlfinator]

I hope Spore has a decent sale. It's one of those games that I'd like to play, but there have the criticism it got made me wary about paying near-full price for it. Under $20 would be nice.

 

[droopy]

Nice, I'm going to be able to skip these deals, because I paid for them at launch day prices! Go me!

And got months or even years of time to play them in exchange. A good deal by any measure!

 

[biocat]

I'm hoping ME2 is 50% off, but I'm guessing it'll be more like 33%. Still, some good sales this week to look forward to.

 

[Teknoman]

Does Crysis Warhead really perform that much better than the first Crysis?

 

[Stallion Free]

Does Crysis Warhead really perform that much better than the first Crysis?

No, not really. You would maybe get a 5 frame boost tops on a similar scene.

 

[Teknoman]

No, not really. You would maybe get a 5 frame boost tops on a similar scene.

Hmm... still running:

Wish there was a demo of warhead.

 

[GhostRidah]

on my 4870 I felt a big boost in fps over regular crysis, more than 5 fps for sure, but thats just me.

Well I wanted to try to play the game at enthusiast settings, 1440x900 res. But i'm not sure if its like the first game, where you had to play at the highest settings to get DX10 effects.
