Wondering the same thing myself, from what I heard the first one was pretty dead soon after release.

The problem with the first game was it was a full retail $60 release so no one bought it until it was too late. Prejudice doesn't quite have the same problem, since it launched at $15, but from what I gathered the community is still pretty small from the bit I played of it. Sales like this bump up the player base enough that it will be worth it if you jump in relatively soon as the multiplayer that is there is actually pretty good! But don't expect to find a thriving community if you wait 2 or 3 months to get around to playing it.

Is Sonic 3 and Knuckles a good port on steam?

It's pretty much a straight ROM dump wrapped in an emulator shell with quicksave and whatnot, so.. yes?

Oh man. Revenge of the Titans achievement felt like an... achievement.
Also I'm still holding strong on these sales! Only bought 3 Terraria and Battlefront II as a gift.

 

[Oreoleo]

The tf2 achievement can be done with no problem in less than 5 minutes. Just make your own server and enable developer console in the settings (under the advanced setting option) and then kill yourself over and over.

Open the console (press ~) and type
mp_disable_respawn_times 1 and;
bind k kill
Now just press K over and over until you get 3 presents.

I can't be certain of this, but I suspect this doesn't work flawlessly. There are a load of people on the SPUF TF2 forum complaining that their alt/idle accounts unlocked the achievement, but didn't register with the Great Gift Pile. The same happened for me, but once I went online and got a gift from an actual enemy (as per the wording in the achievement - as opposed to getting them from your own dead body), it registered with GGP. Take that for what you will.

Unless they changed it recently it should work. It was the first achievement I did today once the daily tasks went live.

EDIT: My brother just got the achievement by killing himself in his own server.

Anyone want to explain the difference between Serious Sam HD Double Pack and Gold edition?

Thankfully it's got semi-decent bot support. I prefer playing that anyways rather the trying to break into a crowd who have been playing the game for years. All games should include that.

thanks to I h8 memes and prophet steve for the gifting !

Doesn't Gold come with the originals as well as the HD remakes?

If you liked DXHR, get this.

 

[slidewinder]

So you can either buy the game without the DLC for $3.74 or get in on a 4-pack and pay $2.81 for the game and the DLC. That seems like an easy decision to make.

Yeah, they did the same thing in a previous sale.

 

[alterno69]

Just bought Machinarium, been meaning to try it for a while, hopefully it's good.

Is it similar to Limbo? Cause i fucking loved Limbo.

 

[Lord British]

Do people even play Section 8 anymore? It looks awesome but if the community isn't there D:

It's the single biggest regret I have on Steam. An awful, characterless, empty experience. Terrible game.

 

[Marsipolami]

No, not at all. Machinarium is a point & click adventure game. Still very good, though.
Rather than having physics based problems, Machinarium is more of standing still and thinking about the problem at hand.

Not really. Machinarium is a point-and-click puzzle/adventure game, not a platformer like Limbo.

 

[Naxx]

Wow really enjoyed Solar 2, did not except that. Now I hope Santum will surprise me as well.

 

[Infinite Jest]

Dungeon Defenders or Sanctum?

 

[Themacabre]

I got the achievement for Revenge of the Titans but there is just something about that game that isn't...fun.

 

[G-Fex]

Hmm..Never tried a tomb raider game before.

 

[ROBOKITTYZILLA]

Dungeon Defenders or Sanctum?

Both are good games but I would go with Dungeon Defenders, especially if you have friends or family to play with.

 

[Card Boy]

Dungeon Defenders or Sanctum?

Dungeon Defenders for sure.

Cross-platform play should be rewarded.

 

[Im_Special]

Dungeon Defenders for sure.

Cross-platform play should be rewarded.

The game is not Cross-platform play.

In Dungeon defender can you play with random player or you need to connect with your friends ?

Does Assassins creed 1 have any ubi drm or 3rd party drm?

 

[petethepanda]

Grabbing Tomb Raider Underworld today. Maybe Two Worlds 2.

 

[Card Boy]

Anyone willing to do a trade for Dead Space 1 for Dead Space 2?

Dead Space 2 is 18bucks here, while Dead Space 1 is $3.75. If you plan on buying DS1 anyway might aswell trade with me.

Does Assassins creed 1 have any ubi drm or 3rd party drm?

No DRM

 

[sol_bad]

Can anyone please inform me how much Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, Serious Sam 3 and Homefront are on the American store?

Greatly appreciated.

 

[ctrayne]

Doesn't have the Dreaded Ubi DRM™ - that started with AC 2. I believe the retail version had some kind of benign disk check.

Check your TF2 inventory, it's been reported that some people have crafted a TF2 hat, either a Scrooge Hat, a Santa Hat, or a Present Box Hat

Revenge of the Titans is cute as hell, but it's nearly unplayable.

I can't grasp the technique required to play a game where i'm not supposed to put the goddamn turrets near the path, however, the TItans don't follow the path at all.

Sometimes I put a scarecrow to scare them away from my guns, which is ok. But then a couple waves after, for no reason, they'll either get really close to the scarecrow or RUN AWAY to the other side of the screen. And then the turrents won't reach them.

I can't play this.

 

[Derrick01]

Well shit you're right, I crafted a B.M.O.C.

Just when I thought I couldn't get worst gifts than these awful coupons I get a non tradeable item for a game I don't play.

if you put in some money for Gift Wrap from the Mann Co store you can trade it. It's going for 50+ dollars right now

Yay, just won Flatout 1 for the second time in the gift pile.

Anyone interested ? (As in giving away)
