Support NeoGAF

[PBalfredo]

It will prob pop up again at the end of sale roundup.

The problem is that I didn't realize it was back to full price until after I clicked to confirm my purchase. No take-backs with DD.

 

[Doomrider]

Many, many thanks to Rctdaemon for helping me out with Alice <3

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

Got my first game today.

Chantelise.

Gifted it.

 

[Artofwar420]

Any impressions on Nuclear Dawn, haven't heard much in this thread about it.

Contact steam support, worth a shot.

Still contemplating that MW 3 deal on Amazon, is there a large community for the PC version?nand are there a lot of hackers or cheats?

 

[jaundicejuice]

It's extremely stupid that I want to re-buy both Bulletstorm and Alice: The Madness Returns just to have them in Steam, yet here I am considering it.

 

[picklecannon]

Got my first game today! ORANGE BOX! Pretty cool to because I don't have it on my current steam account (me and my brother shared one for a while where we activated our orange box)

 

[G-Fex]

ARGH, trying to start RAGE and it kept crashing upon startup

I'm "allocating the cache" if that'll do it any good :\

Yea mw3 is usually one of the top steam games played since release. I personally haven't run into a single cheater.

ATI Card?

- Go to the folder that AZS is installed in.
(default: C:\program files (x86)\steam\steamapps\common\atomzombiesmasher\data)
- Delete atomzombiesmasher.exe
- Rename atom_net.exe to atomzombiesmasher.exe
- Run the game from Steam.

Had the same problem - AZS BSOD my PC.

Thanks for this. I'll try it out.

 

[Glass Rebel]

This is what I own already.

I'm sorry, yeah I should have specified this. Also, I have most of the 2D games.

It'd be easier if I just told you what my PC is rather than what it runs, because telling you what it runs would imply that I have a discrete graphics card, which I do not.

I have a Pavillion G7 with an i3 2330 Core running Intel HD 3000

http://www.hhgregg.com/hp-laptop-pc-with-intel-core-i3-2330m-processor/item/G7-1273NR


This is the machine. As for what it runs, I can run many popular 3D games from the last few years on medium or low settings. However, this is somewhat undesirable depending on the game. I get framerates ranging from 20-30 FPS with tweaking, and rarely hit 60.

I can run older games like Psychonauts or non-graphics intensive games like Orcs Must Die. Oblivion runs pretty well with maxed out settings.

Basically, depending on the game, this laptop can either appear surprisingly decent or pathetically weak.

I just don't want to miss out on games that it can run really well. And I certainly don't want to settle for games which have to look crappy just so I can run them.

Try these demos then:

Just Cause 2

Zeno Clash

Lara Croft & the Guardian of Light

Defense Grid: The Awakening

Also without demos:

F.E.A.R.

Also why don't you own Half-Life 2 and Portal 2 bro?

I'm pretty confident that you'll be able to run everything here, except for maybe Just Cause 2 but it's surprising how well optimized that game is.

Does the Amazon MW3 purchase activate on Steam? My previous purchases have, but I understand that not all of them do.

 

[SteveWinwood]

Albion Prelude looks fucking smoking.

 

[Syphon Filter]

Does the Amazon MW3 purchase activate on Steam? My previous purchases have, but I understand that not all of them do.

I would think so since it's a steamworks title.

 

[Stallion Free]

Yeah MW3 is Steamworks.

 

[Gileadxv]

Awesome, thanks for the info!

 

[Shorty11857]

Anyway in the US willing to gift me Alice if I paypal the $7.50 in advance? PM me

Edit: Thanks Rctdaemon

 

[Oreoleo]

That reminds me. I didn't get my extra copies of The Ship to gift away! Why? I bought it years ago. ):

One of the new devs involved with The Ship now mentioned there was a snag with CD-key authorization or production or whatever. They keys will still go out to everyone they just gotta fix whatever issue they are having first. I can't wait for The Ship to actually have a community again, hopefully.

Alice is a trap. A rather pretty one at times, but a trap nonetheless. You will be ready for it to end about 4 hours before it actually does.

See, trap:

Yeah, I feel like a sort of got hoodwinked by people on GAF saying that it was sooooo much better than reviews let on. Posters calling it GOTY and whatnot... it's pretty much mediocre in every single way.

 

[AndyMoogle]

Which X games are worth getting? Only the last 2, or are the early ones good as well?

 

[Kammie]

Still haven't got anything from this year's Steam Sale, well besides Renegade Ops but that was from Amazon. Still waiting for Bulletstorm and Dragon Age to go on dailies but I'm not holding my breath.

Dragon Age Origins: Ultimate Edition is 7.50 on Amazon right now. Bought it last night.

 

[BoobPhysics101]

Don't bother with the early ones. All the X3 ones are good.

 

[RibbedHero]

Dragon Age Origins: Ultimate Edition is 7.50 on Amazon right now. Bought it last night.

Shows up as $10 for me.

It'll activate on Origin I assume, but Steam is obviously a no, right?

 

[Sarcasm]

Whats the best way to do the achievement for X3?

One where you force an ejection.

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

Origins is fine on Steam.

 

[Kammie]

Correct, it doesn't activate on Steam.

I have no issues with it though... there isn't any DLC available, no achievements... and the only thing I miss out on is having it keep track of my time.

Make sure you look at this one. It seems the regular version is the one that's ten bucks.

 

[Stallion Free]

The amount of worn-out I was feeling at the end of the game would have led to a much harsher review from me than the ones that the media put out honestly.

 

[Syphon Filter]

Since batman on steam is steamworks does it still have securom? If yes what kind?

 

[SteveWinwood]

Since batman on steam is steamworks does it still have securom? If yes what kind?

Yes, and the super shitty kind.

 

[Grimm Fandango]

Since batman on steam is steamworks does it still have securom? If yes what kind?

Seriously forget about the DRM. The game is utterly fantastic.

 

[Syphon Filter]

Yes, and the super shitty kind.

NO buy then, maybe they will learn the 3rd time.

 

[Universaldamps]

I think I've been pretty lucky this holiday sale. I've done 20 objectives. Won 14 coals, both of which have turned into games, 5 coupons and 2 more free games from doing objectives. The games are Left 4 Dead, Kings Bounty: Platinum, Portal 2, Sniper Ghost Warrior Gold. Not sure what I want to do with them...

 

[thundr51]

Dont know if this has been posted, Saints Row: The Third for $20



http://www.greenmangaming.com/games/action/saints-row-the-third/

Buy through the site, get the key and download on Steam.

Took me about 20 mins for my payment to work, but FINALLY go this. Can't wait to get home and download the goodness. Its going to be like Christmas all over again.

 

[flowsnake]

I'd grateful if someone in the US would be willing to do the gifting/paypal thing for X3 Terran War Pack.

Edit: Thanks Cloudius12

 

[CarbonatedFalcon]

Hope SPAZ goes further on sale for a daily deal since it's an achievement game. 50% off now though, so I'll probably pick it up at the end if it doesn't.

I do need to work on some of the achievements I'm capable of but haven't done though. There's at least 5 or so I can do.

 

[Cloudius12]

I can help, add me on Steam. Link in profile.

 

[spirity]

Pondering Batman, looks like a great deal. However, I -really- do not like stealth in games. How much of Batman requires you to use stealth?

 

[BannedEpisode]

Got Jagged Alliance 2 and all its DLC. Good game?

Its certainly looks interesting if a bit dated.

 

[Jinfash]

Is there a way to play games without suspending the downloads in the background?

 

[BannedEpisode]

Pondering Batman, looks like a great deal. However, I -really- do not like stealth in games. How much of Batman requires you to use stealth?

Its hardly a stealth game. I would call it a sneaky brawler.

A good one at that.

 

[Xzior]

Just alt+tab and resume the download and then go back to the game.

 

[SmithnCo]

A good amount, but Arkham's stealth is really fun, maybe the most fun stealth I've played in a game. It's not hard either.

 

[SteveWinwood]

NO buy then, maybe they will learn the 3rd time.

If you have a console just pick it up for that. It has to be that price used somewhere.

 

[Jinfash]

Just alt+tab and resume the download and then go back to the game.

Hah, awesome. Thanks for the tip.

 

[filipe]

I'd wager enough to turn you off from the game, but it's still a fantastic game, and very well done. For $5, the story would be enough to have you overlook the stealth.

 

[MRORANGE]

Damage so far...


So what I bought/got gifted : (thanks guys!)

What I got for Gaf : (so many copies of Bionic Commando Rearmed lol)

 

[SteveWinwood]

Just alt+tab and resume the download and then go back to the game.

Valve really should fix that. Some games crash when I alt-tab and its getting annoying.

 

[Wazzim]

6 games
€25,80

Pretty decent.

 

[StuBurns]

What does it mean you got 'Steam'?

 

[Slightly Live]

I'd grateful if someone in the US would be willing to do the gifting/paypal thing for X3 Terran War Pack to me for a friend.
