Holy shit @ those Muve deals. I just bought:

...for around 33 bucks.

I don't even watch Naruto.

No new games for me for a long while (only Dark Souls 2).

Oh it is just for collection bragging rights then. I really thought it is an awesome game pulled due to "reasons" that everyone wants it bad.

Labia doors aside, Prey is a pretty good action fps. If the game is still on steam most of us would probably recommend a buy on sale.

No, it has incredibly shallow mechanics, only worth it if you are really into the series.

Well, I think you will be a little lost in the plot of the story mode, but the game is quite fun even if you are not a fan. I don't like the Anime, but I enjoyed all of Ultimate Ninja Storm games so far.

Thanks, reading Steam reviews now and the port apparently isn't very good (30 frames max, bugs, mulitplayer has problems) either. Skip.

Eek, having site issues in which I keep getting logged out when I visit a new page, like my Steam profile or badges. This seems to happen every now and then. Oh well!

edit - nm, seems okay now.

It is a game worth playing if you enjoy first person shooters.
Click to expand...

Indeed. It's a fun game, or at least I enjoyed it. And it is hardly rare, at least in the UK. I literally picked up the 4 copies on shelf at GAME in their tiny outdated PC section on my way home last month.

Well, it's 30 frames because the animation system is tied to the framerate. I don't think I ever experience any bugs, and multiplayer works fine for me (I do see many people getting some connection problems apparently. Never happened with me though). The worst thing about the multiplayer is that the characters are terribly balanced.

Anyone have issues with Baldur's Gate II: EE not running at all?

I have it installed, but it won't boot at all. I've seen that there's a common issue with compatibility, but I tried the fixes and still nothing...

I really wanna play!

Eh, lotsa retail copies still available. Keys can regularly be bought for 4/5 tf2 keys. It's far from diamon status just yet :p
Click to expand...

Ok granted, maybe not diamond status, but when a game becomes unavailable, it's value starts shooting up and it's only a matter of time before a copy is considered hella valuable.

You mean you can't activate it in Russia? That's unusual.
Click to expand...

Since Russia has considerably lower prices for it's games than outside, often people buy games in bulk and sell outside for a profit but this limits that. A lot of games have region-locking with 2 states. RU copies and ROW(Rest of World) copies. Of course, some games go even deeper, locking for specific countries or continents.

First time so forgive me if I have fucked it up

Was going to do this much later to celebrate employment, end of surgeries, half marathon & tough mudder completion, but those are looking months away. So to celebrate Sid Meier's Civilization: Beyond Earth announcement, here are some completely unrelated games

ps - user More_Badass - get in touch, Free copy of Prey is set aside for you since you were the first to answer about wanting a copy

It is a pretty fun game though, with vagina doors and Native American spiritual guides that teach you abilities while you're in a spaceship, having just been abducted by aliens.

I can almost not believe that I just bought Resi4 HD for 4,75€ while it's 20€ on Steam.

Will buy Lost Planet 3 and Naruto too later today. The only ones I have left.

Yeah. But I'm from Poland.

I can confirm Naruto is also locked for PL/HU/CZ/SK.

Edit: also, with these games my Steam library officially broke 100 titles. guess there's no turning back.

I still love my boxes tho.

But that's just it EmergentFocus has the Gold edtion on their laptop and there's no activation needed whilst what's on Steam still does. So that's what we were all expecting it not to need activate but for some silly reason it's fully patched but still blocks you until you do. It's just barmy. 1404 is at 1.3 and Venice is at 2.01 for me so they're fully patched but still needs to be activated. I know we've had it the other way around like BioShock retail still has SecuROM where as Steam doesn't but this, along with Riddick on GOG being DRM free but not Steam is just being silly.

I shouldn't have even bothered with CIV 5.
I have yet to even get past the tutorial, but this just seems too cool.
Click to expand...

Civ 5 is so much fun when you get going. It will also probably be really useful to you for Civ Beyond Earth too. Essentially, if you get a science victory in Civ 5 ie build a spaceship to travel to alpha centauri, Civ Beyond Earth is a bit of continuation from that point

Ahhh I see.
I think I need that link from Grief.EXE about the tutorial, so I can give it another go.
