[Phloxy]

Fucking lame

 

[poppabk]

Yeah I got it now with help with tech support.

I was really scared I lost them there.

Oh yeah you got lucky, Fallout 3 only has a partial implementation of GFWL. My RE5 save wasn't so lucky. Goodbye Mercenaries.

 

[wolfmat]

So how are the Commandos games? And which is the best?

The first two are ace.

Interesting, my Steam purchases are showing up as foreign purchases on my Credit Card, from the Netherlands.

Interesting, someone compiled a list of titles that have been added to the registry but does not appear on the Steam store. It's a bit outdated though, since it was made in April 2010:

http://pastebin.com/mnKjfZ3L

Below is a list of games that are in the Steam content database, that don't appear on the storefront yet. Most of these are games that will be coming to Steam soon. A couple of these games aren't even announced for PC yet (NyxQuest and Death Tank, for instance). A few of these are games that were submitted to Steam a long time ago, but for one reason or another, will probably never go live (A Vampyre Story, MOH Pacific Assault, and NWN2 are all goners, probably). At least one of these is a free mod.

wow, they are making a sequel to The Ship.

I'm hoping Rainbow Six works better than the GoG version ie it doesn't crash everytime I try playing the campaign.

 

[Shaneus]

How do they get to/read that Steam d/b?

Rise of Nations Gold.

uh..microsoft?

 

[brain_stew]

uh..microsoft?

You beat me to it, wonder how this one is going to shake out.

Microsoft actually remembering that they have a back catalogue of awesome PC games and then proceeding to release them on Steam would be huge news but that'd be so very unlike Microsoft.

it's a curveball for sure. maybe there will be more to the microsoft pc push than a halo 3 theme for windows 7.

Rise of Nations, Crimson Skies, that space sim one (freelancer?), dungeon siege. Those are all i can think of. They're still pretty good though.

Don't forget AOE and AOM etc.

 

[Nickiepoo]

Did somebody say Mechwarrior? I'd love to get my hands on 3 again.

 

[crimsonheadGCN]

I wondering if that Pac-Man entry is one of the newer ones in the registry. Hope it's a port of Pac-Man CE.

Happy Wars sounds interesting:

http://pc.gamespy.com/pc/happy-wars/

Happy Wars is a mass multiplayer fantasy war action game that allows battles of up to 128 players. Its original communication system allows players from all over the world to bypass the language barrier and have fun together.

Each time the game begins, the player spawns as a Level 1 character of one of three classes – Warrior, Mage or Cleric .The player will advance towards the enemy’s castle with his/her teammate through a map set in a fantasy world. During battles against the enemy team, the Warrior will use a sword and shield to fight at close range, the Mage will cast spells such as Fireball and Lightning Bolt from long range, and the Cleric will support his/her allies with healing and buffing spells. It is also possible to set up catapults and crossbow turrets on the castle ramparts, as well as set up pit traps on flatland. The player earns Experience Points and advances in levels by defeating enemies and capturing bases.

I'm trying to temper my excitement with cold sobering realistic expectations but I'm quietly hoping and praying for them to see the light.

 

[Shaneus]

On the topic of older games, anyone know if there's been a release on GOG or Steam (or anything!) of Terminal Velocity? Damn, I would love for that to have a "HD" upgrade or re-release.

[poppabk]

Rogue spear will be mine if it works without issue on win7 64bit.

 

[Stallion Free]

NyxQuest and Rainbow Six will be mine as soon as they are placed on the store.

I really hope RoN really does their will be a big Microsoft push on Steam. They did hint at paying more attention to Steam in the future.

Neverwinter Nights 2
Neverwinter Nights 2: Mask of the Betrayer

I've always wondered why nearly every other DD service had access to the NWN games, but not Steam. Not anymore, lol. Now Baldur's Gate needs to show up on Steam and I can die happy.

btw Mask of the Betrayer is amazing. One of the best RPG stories I've ever experienced. NWN2 vanilla is pretty boring, though.

 

[Wanace]

If Rogue Spear is released and the online multiplayer works I'd be so down with that. It used to be my favorite online shooter back in like 1999.

NWN will not be heading to Steam. It was added to the registry when Atari first started selling their titles through Steam, but it never was released. I'm thinking that the legal battle between Hasbro and Atari over the D&D license was the cause for NWN not showing up on Steam.

 

[Stallion Free]

Neverwinter Nights was one of those titles that was added years ago and never showed up. Doubt it'll ever be added.

Never give up hope. It will be added as a pre-order bonus when Neverwinter Nights 3 is announced as a Steamworks exclusive.

 

[Javaman]

What the Fuckity McFuck!?!? Release that shit!

I recently broke my "steam only" rule to buy them on GOG. They have both for $6 each IIRC. If steam gets around to releasing them I'm totally going to double dip.

 

[crimsonheadGCN]

While searching for information about some of the lesser known titles in that list, I came across information about one of the titles that is a remake of Arkanoid that will be released through Steam on July 18, 2010 for $2.99 (tentative). The game is called The Legends of Arkanoid and it's a Steamworks title:

I'd bite! I loved Arkanoid.

 

[Chiaroscuro]

uh..microsoft?

No, I believe Big Huge Games owns the rights to the IP and game, and they can do anything with the game, including selling it on Steam. I do not think MS will ever be on Steam, since they have their own DD service.

Q4 2010

It'd be hilarious if it came to Steam before the PSN. :lol

 

[Stumpokapow]

I'm actually a little disappointed that NyxQuest got a PC port for purely selfish reasons. I'm not a huge fan of buying content on WiiWare because of the uncertain DRM future. I liked NyxQuest, but definitely not enough to buy it twice, and I'd obviously rather a high res gorgeous PC version on a reliable system like Steam than the WW version.

Oh well, I'll just wait until a holiday sale or something and grab it for a pittance.

I never got around the MotB but loved NWN2 Vanilla ... should I bump this up on the backlog queue?

 

[Stallion Free]

I love that Toki Tori got ported to PC and now NyxQuest. What other Wiiware goodness might Wiiware devs bring us?

 

[Archie]

I never got around the MotB but loved NWN2 Vanilla ... should I bump this up on the backlog queue?

Yes, you should. It is a fairly short and focused game (~20 hours with very few sidequests). The spirit eater mechanic is pretty annoying and there is one area (

Spoiler

the red wizard school

) that I hated, but otherwise it was an awesome game!

 

[Danne-Danger]

The spirit eater mechanic is pretty annoying

That can also be disabled very easily should you want to, just a heads up to people that are discouraged by having a "timer" (that you need to refill from time to time) on screen at all times.

The timer adds urgency to the quest, like in BG2 your character should -- according to the story -- be struggling to not turn into the Slayer from time to time, but aside from a few scripted events that never happened. Removing the timer will essentially make it like that, having it there does add to the game, but you can live without it.

 

[Nickiepoo]

Another vote for MotB being one of the best RPGs out there. Great writing, great plot.

 

[erpg]

Wiiware's new Cave Story, please.

By chance, is MOTB standalone? :lol

 

[Archie]

Sadly, no. NWN2 is required. You can grab both games for $17 off Amazon, though.

 

[graywolf323]

Rise of Nations, Crimson Skies, that space sim one (freelancer?), dungeon siege. Those are all i can think of. They're still pretty good though.

The Movies used to be on Steam, I believe that was Microsoft as well (or at least it was developed by Lionhead now owned by Microsoft)

I'd love for their games to come to Steam but as long as GFWL is around I highly doubt we'll be so lucky :-(

release FFVII & VIII already though dammit >_<

 

[Nickiepoo]

It's not impossible, DoW2 uses GFWL (and gave me an eternal hatred of it).

Hey, you know what I love GFWL, when you sign me out, ending my multiplayer game because my girlfriend switched on the xbox. Cheers for that.

Also, I love when you stop me from playing DoW2 multiplayer because my credit card expired and you couldn't auto-renew my gold account despite the fact that you don't need gold to play DoW2 multiplayer.

 

[Cuban Legend]

I'll post this here in addition to the Steam Sale Thread:

Is anyone Interested in the L4D GOTY 4-Pack? I'll buy if the other 3 of you can paypal me the money. PM or Steam ADD/MSG cuban_legend if interested.

YES! I knew they'd put Shatter on sale. I wanted it the past couple days but resisted. Also finally picking up Torchlight, but is Red Faction: Guerrilla worth my time?

 

[graywolf323]

weird, since when did Steam start listing demos on your profile games list?

 

[Duki]

anyone play the void?

that shit good? i see horror and titties so far and dont know if want

 

[Duki]

double post, fuck im a disaster >_<

 

[Rufus]

is Red Faction: Guerrilla worth my time?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IcUBI-YVRY8 Could be. You like open world type games and levelling buildings one supporting wall at a time with a sledgehammer or a truck with explosives stuck to it or just explosives? And stuff? The physics, man, the physics. They are the star of the show in this game.
