Steam Holiday Sale 2009 Begins! (Dec 22nd - Jan 3rd)
- Thread starter Volcynika
- Start date
Just chiming in another recommendation for the Penumbra Collection. I picked this up back when it first hit steam at a ridiculous price ($5 I think) and I wasn't disappointed. One of the best horror adventure games I've ever played, dripping with so much atmosphere & tension.
I highly recommend both games to anybody on the fence on this series, while Black Plague (the sequel) is arguably the best in the series, the 1st game does an excellent job of setting up the story and drawing you into the lore. Still an excellent bargain at $10.

Killer said:If i bought the games right now in the US, and i want to download it later in another country( let's say France or China). Am i able to do that in the other country? cause i have no idea how steam works cross countries so any help would be appreciated.
Yep that's fine, first Steam will try to download the content from your preferred region, if that fails it will try elsewhere until it finds a server.

GTA IV and Stalker get.
I already own both, but I'm going to Goozex Stalker and GTA IV for that price, couldn't resist.
Tempted to see what else is to come in 4.5 hours.

Version 1.006 of S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadows of Chernobyl was more of a beta patch if I remember correctly, so they never released it on Steam. They were suppose to release a new patch (1.007), but I guess that never occurred.

So
was wondering if there's any RPG gem I'm missing
I'm looking more into stuff like Spellforce, Sacred, Dawn of Magic, they seem to have some low Metacritic scores, but I'd like some GAF opinion on them.
I have most stuff like Fallout Pack, Jade Empire, Titan Quest, Torchlight, Vampire: The Masquerade, but was wondering about the older/less known ones.

Haha, I just took a look at Stalker Clear Sky's page on Steam and it says this:
You've gotta to love Valve. 'We ran out of digital copies'.
Check it out: http://store.steampowered.com/app/20510/

so I bought torchlight last night purely because of gaf, without which I would not have heard of it let alone the gushing praise, excitement etc etc. Also I heard from gaf that it was like diablo, something i've never played and been curious about for ages. And i also heard from gaf that it was half price at the steam sale, so I checked it out. I'm happy with the info I got from gaf but perhaps someone should have mentioned that THIS IS MORE ADDICTIVE THAN SMOKING CRACK!! dear god what have you done to me.
now i'm off to shit up the torchlight thread with beginner questions, merry xmas you bastards

I played STALKER sans Complete Patch months ago and it was alright, but I could never finish it because of the crashes and whatnot.
But now with the patch it's like a brand new game. The looks, the sounds, the feel of the game is just so much better in every way. Everyone should experience this game.
With that said, how do I buy multiple copies of the game to give away for later?
EDIT: Never mind, just did it the basic way.

I never knew that there was GTA IV Police Mod, which allows you to play as the police and perform arrests and give out tickets. GTA IV is becoming more tempting to buy after watching that.

Even though I already own retail box of STALKER, I went ahead and bought Steam version. Consider it convience tax.
With that, I'm now DLing complete 2009 mod as I've never checked it out. Maybe now I'll finally finish STALKER.
Will probably buy Clear Sky as well since it's so cheap ....I mean, it's not THAT bad is it?

After not having working internet for a week, coming back to this in steam is quite awesomesauce, especially when I can go grab a few games which will entertain me for a few hours each at like 74 pence :lol Ducati world championship, for instance.
Every year steam you manage to steal a good chunk of my christmas money.

Fate of Atlantis sure as hell does. Aside from Monkey Island, the others on offer are Lucasarts' lesser games. Translation: They're great adventure games even today, just not the best ever.Valtor said:
edit: Oh, were you talking about the other Lucasarts games too? They're not quite as timeless. Jedi Knight/Dark Forces/Republic Commando and KOTOR are mostly still worth playing even if they're more dated.
BTW: WHERE IS TIE FIGHTER WTF
Agreed. A modern day TIE Fighter is pretty much a dream game for me. So I guess it'll never happen.Minsc said:
I'd even be ecstatic over a high-res widescreen port with no other graphics improvements. plsplspls
It's true. They're still excellent games. *Licensed* games, even! They're still interesting to play too. They're a lot more vertical than anything released these days.Yasser said:
