The Burnout Paradise talk here is confusing to someone who doesn't know the game already, so let me ask a straight question:
I was considering the Burnout Paradise bundle on PSN for $21. Now I see a Burnout Paradise bundle on Steam for a third that. Is the contents of the bundle exactly the same on both systems?
Ignore the potential for DLC on PS3 vs PC. I don't care about anything not in the bundle. Is there anything (besides DLC I most likely wouldn't buy anyhow) that I should consider before choosing the PC version over the PS3 version?
I have a decent PC (especially for gaming on my 720P TV set). Athlon X2 5600 with 8GB of RAM and a 1GB Radeon 4870. My processor is my weakest link, and I plan on upgrading that to a Phenom II X4 within a few months. Just waiting for the right price point.

Could I get a pass for Killing Floor?
Javaman said:
Ouch.
Ironically, I hadn't updated the game yet and upon logging into GFWL and downloading the update, it failed to apply. :lol
Looking at the log, the Steam version doesn't create a registry key in the same path as the retail, but the patch is looking for that key to find the install directory. I created the registry entries and it installed fine after that.
If you guys are getting an error like "Failed to update, blah blah, see GFWL-log" or something like that, let me know, it's very simple to fix.

Edit: gone.
Burnout Paradise is great and anyone curious should definately try it at that price. It's only when grinding for 100% does it get tedious. It's also one of those 'racing' games where the racing is secondary to everything else in regards to fun. Go online and screw around doing challenges with people and it all makes sense...

Oh man. Now you are tempting me to get it . . . it is just $7.50. Hmm. But I already have it for the 360 and I don't play that one! . . . . but I'm still tempted. Damn you Steam! :lolLkr said:
Edit: I could ebay the 360 version and get this version for higher quality. Although I did give a 360 copy to my nephew so we could race but he never plays it.

Killing Floor is so worth the $5 now or even the full price I paid when it first came out. I do not even know why people are hesitating on purchasing it.

I like the idea of having my software always available in the cloud. I can't lose it. When I get a better PC, I can easily download it onto that new system. The PC versions can be better in that PCs evolve . . . consoles are stuck in the year they were released.datamage said:

Well i went ahead and pulled the trigger on killing floor, for $5 who cares if its bad and i only play it for a few hours. Hows the single player on this? Is it just like the multiplayer but with bots?

I would blame volition devs for not providing the full patched install game to Steam instead.
GTA 4, no patching issue.
Batman AA no patching issue.
DOW2, no patching issue.
RE5 well I'm not sure whether there's a patch but yes no issues.
It's GFWL's fault for only looking for a default directory to install the update, but it's the devs fault for not providing the patched version to steam.

I do not think the dev's should be providing a patched version GFWL. The real problem lies with whoever is making the call to that GFWL update's executable. They supplied the wrong command line argument. Not sure who is making that call though, but that should be the fix.bigswords said:

I played Killing Floor for the first time today and it is great. I was able to get several of my friends to pick it up as well, and the few pugs that joined were good people to party with. Definitely recommend it.

Lkr said:That confused me too. I just ended up creating a new account and went with it lol
and shame on you people who are double dipping on Bioshock
Why? I want to see the game with more effects and better resolution. And I can try keyboard/mouse with it.
Edit: Wait . . . you want me to double-dip on Burnout which is $7.50 but not GOTY Bioshock for $5?

So I bought the orange box because I have not played through episode 1 and episode 2, and the sale was to hard to resist. I had HL2 on my account already but I haven't played it since it first came out.
Anyway I was thinking about trying the fakefactory cinematic mod version 10 and I was wondering if anyone has any impressions of it?
Luckily its available on usenet so downloading it isn't a big deal even tho its a huge download.
Are there any downsides to using it other than it being demanding? Does it change the feel of the entire game? If so do you think it takes the game to far away from what the devs intended? Are the graphics really that much better in it? Any feedback would be helpful

Stay far far away from it if you respect Valve at all. Fakefactory not only looks awful artistically, it also adds/changes things in the game that completely ruin Valve's vision. This includes adding pine trees to random areas, messing with backgrounds (there is a huge bridge overhead at the start of Highway 17), and changing the lighting. The Half-Life 2 games look perfectly fine as they are. Valve nailed the art and it does not need to be changed.
The optional character models are especially offensive.

Yeah, there are servers hosting UT3 games. There's not as many as say UT2004, but there's enough where you could usually find a few good matches going on.
I played with it when Orange Box first came out, back when it was only applied to Half Life 2 & Episode 1, so probably when it was named Cinematic Mod 7 or 8.SuicideUZI said:
Looking at the recent screenshots of v10, it seems he's done more than just HD Textures this time around, so I can't really comment on how those changes effect the feel of the game. However, in regards to the upgrade in texture work, I felt it made the game even more appealing to look at, especially the models. I really noticed the difference going into Episode 2, because it wasn't available for Episode 2 at the time. I remember really missing the HD textures at times.
Only thing I would recommend turning off would be his completely different rendition of Alyx. If he still has the HD version of Valve's model, use it.
Edit:
Hmm. Only thing I remember from the older versions were the upgrade in texture- don't remember anything that drastic. Granted I did turn off any additional models he threw in.Stallion Free said:

No, it is far from just upgraded textures. He has changed a lot more since those earlier versions. I didn't care for the mod when it was just upgraded textures either though. A lot of them looked like they had just been shoved through "sharpen" in photoshop and looked awkward.
