already too busy.. damn you people!!!!

 

[Zzoram]

I'm waiting a few minutes to see if DMC4 gets updated to 75% off before I buy Mass Effect.

 

[Angelus Errare]

ME so bought! Well it's working.....for the last 4 minutes...

 

[brain_stew]

Thats so cheap for ME.

I have it for 360 tho

If anything, that makes the purchase even more necessary.

Its worth noting that you can cap the framerate in Mass Effect. Well worth doing as it doesn't really need 60fps, gets rid of some random drops/spikes and allows you to crank the setting much higher. Both Nvidia and ATI users should be able to force AA through their drivers though the performance penalty will be pretty steep with it being a DX9 title using MRT.

 

[Gabyskra]

I'd get DMC4 if it was 75% off...

 

[confused]

quit begging its only $5

I know, but I don't have a CC, and Paypal won't accept my bankaccount. So I have no means of buying my own stuff off Steam.

Sometimes I get lucky and find a dutch person willing to buy me games and i can transfer the money into their bank account, other times I ask Gaf, and return the favor when I find someone who I can pay to gift it back.

 

[Leatherface]

in what way? is there securom?

Graphically it's the sharpest and doesn't have pop in issues, the frame rate is great, the controls are top notch and as others have mentioned the inventory system is much improved.

Personally, between the inventory system and playing this with mouse and keyboard, it can't be touched by the console version. As for securom, I don't *think* it has it, but I'm not positive.

 

[Keyser Soze]

How many internet giggybites is mass erect?

 

[AndyMoogle]

Might get ME, but I already own it for 360...

 

[anddo0]

Damn I got Mass Effect for $20 just two weeks ago

 

[Rahk]

I've been trying so hard since Day 1 to not buy the TellTale Pack incase it gets on sale. I WON'T BE TORCHED AGAIN!

Well yeah, I plan on waiting for all the daily sales to end before buying it, and any other games for that matter.

 

[Won]

There seems to have been an error initializing or updating your transaction. Please wait a minute and try again or contact support for assistance.


lol

I have that too.

Stupid ME is already in my games list, but I can't download it!!!!!! Monsters!

 

[Salaadin]

I caved. ME bought

 

[noisome07]

How many internet giggybites is mass erect?

Under system requirements for Mass Effect:

Hard Drive: 12.0 GB or more free hard drive space

Don't know how big the actual download is though, sorry

 

[bounchfx]

5 bucks for Mass Effect? Is the game really all its cracked up to be? How are the load times? I heard some shitty things about the 360 version.

this is probably the worst thing I've ever heard. there were a few tech issues on the 360 version but nothing game killing. the game is still easily worth 40+, and was definitely worth more than full price when it came out. one of the best games this gen by far. if you can't appreciate it (especially for $5), I'm sorry that you're into gaming

 

[Dynoro]

:lol I own every game there and ME on PC and 360 - guess I save some money today

 

[Hugbot]

Would buy the S&M pack but I own Season One and the individual Seasons aren't on sale. I'd buy Season 2 at $15 though so I'm not sure what's wrong with me.

Also, I have too many games to play and already own the 360 Mass Effect, but we'll see if I can resist for 24 hours.

 

[brain_stew]

How's Trials 2 compared to Trials HD? I haven't picked up either but have been meaning to buy Trials HD.

Think of Trials HD as Trials 3.

 

[Keyser Soze]

Under system requirements for Mass Effect:

I've found that is never the right number though. I am more considered with the download size

 

[gregor7777]

My final day predictions:

MW2
Fallout 3 GOTY
Borderlands
The Witcher
Oblivion
Vampire

If anyone does better than me you'll get a hardy handshake IRL if I ever meet you. Unless you're a neckbeard weirdo, in that case it will likely be a curt nod.

 

[kswiston]

Individual Doom Games are also 66% off. Might pick up Doom 3 for $6.79 as I never tried it.

Thinking of double dipping on Mass Effect. I have the game on 360, but I am thinking of getting ME2 on PC as it will be $10-20 cheaper here in Canada.

That will likely be it for me today

But what if we just played for the story?

 

[Ripclawe]

I've found that is never the right number though. I am more considered with the download size

about 10.5 GB

 

[brain_stew]

how is the pc version of mass erect?

It'll make you bitter that you played the 360 version through to completion! :lol

It did for me at least.

 

[Nelo Ice]

damnit u guys are seriously making me consider double dipping on mass effect and maybe i should since i still havent beaten mass effect on 360 and ive had it since launch :lol

 

[Zaraki_Kenpachi]

How many internet giggybites is mass erect?

10,500MB when I go to install it.

 

[Proc]

Think I should buy Medieval: Total War?

Siegeing castles looks like it would be fun. Its still $4.99.

 

[Baha]

My order is stuck on the working....screen for like 8 minutes now but I can see the games in my games list. Would refreshing the page mess my order up or should I leave it alone?

[EDIT] An unexpected error has occurred. Your purchase has not been completed.
Please contact Steam Support.

What now? Retry? contact steam?

 

[Aquavelvaman]

Steam has been "working" on my purchase for like 8 minutes now.

 

[Railer]

ME is a 10 gig download for those who asked.

 

[Dynoro]

I've found that is never the right number though. I am more considered with the download size

Shows as 10756Mb on my PC - so the download itself should be less than that

 

[Minsc]

How are these versions of DOOM?

Definitive once you download and run them through zDoom.

It even auto-detects your steam directory, so you don't have to do anything other than turn on mouselook and setup wasd keys. The DooM games are not playable any other way than with zDoom imo.

 

[Javaman]

I also want to get rid of some games from my list. It's just clutter. But I don't want them completely gone I just want a hide option.

Someone posted earlier in the thread that valve is working on a UI update which will focus on game management. Might be out in a month or two.

 

[Leatherface]

If you like Mass Effect, I would absolutely double dip to have the PC version. It's way better IMO, especially for $5!

 

[Keyser Soze]

10,500MB when I go to install it.

Thanks, but that will kill my monthly download cap, so I wont be downloading

 

[Hazaro]

Glad I came home to rebuy Crysis with 4 minutes left. Especially before the servers die.

Mass Effect is a must buy for everyone at $5.

Thanks, but that will kill my monthly download cap, so I wont be downloading

I am guessing you already did this but you can buy and download later when you have bandwidth again.

Well it said "through" the third, so isn't there two more days?

 

[burgerdog]

"There seems to have been an error initializing or updating your transaction. Please wait a minute and try again or contact support for assistance."

Grrrrrrrrr, is that a known error?

 

[gregor7777]

That sucks. Man I'm so glad I don't have to deal with that nonsense.

Well it said "through" the third, so isn't there two more days?

Yeah, someone mentioned that they might be saving games for the last day.

 

[Zzoram]

I've owned Mass Effect twice on 360. I bought it at launch and traded it in. Then I got it again on sale for $10, beating it again before trading it in again.

I still think my PC playthrough will be sweetest.

 

[kennah]

It even auto-detects your steam directory, so you don't have to do anything other than turn on mouselook and setup wasd keys. The DooM games are not playable any other way than with zDoom imo.

Thanks!

 

[randomlyrossy]

Were I not planning to get ME2 on 360 I'd probably jump on the sale but my computer setup isn't ideal for long single player games and I doubt ME2 will run very well on it either.

Gonna grab Trials though, love Trials HD on 360. If Devil May Cry goes cheaper I might consider it, maybe.

I'm actually really considering that Doom pack, it does seem a bit steep for Doom though, even if it does have the newer games.

I would but I'm using my Laptop for all this steam gaming and it can't handle to much load. [ ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3600 with 256MB and a Intel Core Sue CPU 1.66GHz and 2gb mem. , wish laptop cards were upgradable.]

Gona grab the second on 360 too. Now I need to find the time for a playthrough.

 

[Salaadin]

Thanks, but that will kill my monthly download cap, so I wont be downloading

Cant you buy it now and then periodically download it in pieces? Do 1Gb a month and maybe you can play it by next New Years then

 

[brain_stew]

Question: if I buy Portal (I already have it) can I gift it anytime I want in the future?

Buy it as a gift and sent it to an alternate email you have access to. You'll then be able to resend it through Steam whenever you want so long as it isn't redeemed through that initial email.

 

[Zzoram]

Ugh, I pressed Purchase and it just says Working... and has been stuck for a few minutes

 

[Lostconfused]

Drop DMC4 to $10 or lower and I will buy it.

Oh also to anyone getting Mass Effect, turn off film grain.

 

[Baha]

Tried logging onto store in my browser and it lists ME & trials 2 as purchased so I guess it went through, haven't received any email confirmation yet though.

 

[Semblance]

Ugh, I pressed Purchase and it just says Working... and has been stuck for a few minutes

Ditto.

 

[Proc]

Drop DMC4 to $10 or lower and I will buy it.

Yeah, its a terrible capcom deal when sfiv was on for $10 yesterday.
