Probably. Unless you have 32-bit, then the same folder will do.

I have 64 bit.
I followed that same path and dumped it in. But it does not work.

Damn, no where near my card or card info. I've been waiting for Mass Effect to drop, AND NOW I GET TO MISS IT (DAMN YOU NEW YEARS). Hopefully if they drop Borderlands, I won't miss it this time.

Oh, bitch bitch bitch.
isamu, whats your steam id? I'll play some killing floor with you.

Also nice on getting Bloodlines. It seems doubtful it'll get put on sale. Shame.

Vista and 7 should be:

C:\ProgramData\Steam\PlantsVsZombies\userdata


Rule of thumb is that any user data that used to go into XP's "Program Files" goes in "ProgramData" from Vista on. "Program Files" is only for EXEs, DLLs, and the like. Things that don't get written by the user or his actions.

If you had let Steam save your CC info this would not be a problem.
 
Are there any other good mods for GTA 4 or Rainbow Six Vegas 2? I got the motion blur mod for GTA 4, which is awesome...but I can't really find too many mods.

Specifically, for GTA 4, is there a mod that locks the camera to the car direction while driving? Shit is annoying.

So I'm not horribly Steam-shopping-savvy, am I missing a wishlist option or is there just not one available? I'm trying to gather a list of things to grab on the 3rd if they don't show as a daily deal, and that'd make things go quicker.

I'm still holding off on purchasing because I hope it will; even if it doesn't, Steam's MSRP for the game is $10 higher than Direct2Drive's apparent normal price, so it seems like there ought to be a price drop in the near future.

Is there a reason as to why Baldurs Gate 2, planescape torment and grim fandango arent on steam?
BG2 & PS:T are D&D games so there's all sorts of licensing issues, GF may be released some day as Lucasarts work through their back catalogue.

The Witcher is probably the best RPG this half of the decade. Absolutely no reason I can think of not to get it for 13.49. I bought it full price at Fry's and never regretted it which is seldom.

Think we will ever get them? Because I have Planescape and BG2, but I've been wanting to get IceWind Dale again for a while.

I think I'm around 10 hours into ME on 360, but haven't touched it in a year. Is it worth getting the PC one to restart? Is it that much improved?

Isn't it like the 5Day sale from Thanksgiving. Where they don't have any sales on the last day but that is the day they end? Or am I remembering wrong.

Why not ask someone from Gaf to buy it for you, gift it, and you pay them back? I'd say most gaffers are pretty trustful about this.

It's not much of a problem, was going to buy it boxed if it didn't drop anyways.

Yes. Yes.

A million times yes.

Well I can't play anything on my current PC, but is $10 dollars a pretty good price to go ahead and jump on and play it when I get my new rig?
 
NIGHT- said:
Is Torchlight a good dungeon game for someone whose never played anything in the genre?


There is a demo on Steam.

I've never really played those isometric type of RPG loot games before but the footage of Diablo 3 had me interested. So I tried the demo for Torchlight and came really close to spending the last of my Steam sale money on it. It seems like the kind of game that anyone would enjoy.

Try the demo. The game really isn't very demanding so your pc might be able to handle it.

It has really low requirements, so you might be able to play it on your current rig. And the game is well worth the full $20.

How do I tell my squad what type of gun to use in Mass Effect PC? How do I make them use powers? How do I quickbar my skills?
 
how is The Void?

I remember seeing a thread on GAF bout it, I love odd and strange game worlds but I can't stand horrible gameplay and presentation...so I'm kind of weary

There's some reviews, and not much word of mouth on it. I would like to know too, but if it doesn't get a daily deal in the next two days, I'll probably just buy something else.

I have 1 Killing Floor guest pass and 3 Shattered Horizon guest passes available.
I would take a shattered horizon, game mechanic intrigues the shit out of me, but i just got a killing floor guest pass and i'm not greedy

It has superb presentation. However, if its anything like Pathologic, its an emotionally draining experience. Its not everyone's cup of tea, but its unlike pretty much anything else out there.
