Picked up Giana bundle. It's so cheap that I don't care.

Alright GAF, GMG has Half Life 2 and HL2 Ep. 1 and 2 on sale and I could get all for under $10-

As I only want HL2, do I need any other DLC or HL2 stuff missing from GMG?

No, but Ep. 1/2 are "epilogues" of HL2 and less "DLC" outside of their length. Get them anyway for the "complete story so far" in HL2.

Perfectly able to grasp the inherent value of the fishing game.
Well, Steam cancelled that last transaction that went a bit wrong, so I now own Wargame: European Escalation and the Giana expandalone.

Those 2 games have also pushed me to 800 games on Steam, eep.

I voted for Spelunky when it was up for vote on the community choice section, but I wasn't able to check afterwards if it won. Did I miss that sweet special?

You know, I don't think it has, now that I think about it. I think it was a flash though.

Also, if anyone needs cards 5 or 10, feel free to drop me a line, I could care less about them.

Its almost for the better, those games are completely riddled with DRM.

I'd like to see someone purchase the license and the games from Atari, clean them up, and put them back on sale again.

I actually have a Steam copy of Riddick, but when I play through again I will use the GOG copy.
Click to expand...
Guess I'll be buying the GOG version then. How is the loading on PC? Played the game on PS3 and the thing I found so annoying was how often you'd have to deal with loading while transitioning between areas. Didn't help that loading was so slow

Feel like getting a red or blue DS4 for my gaming needs. Which one should I get?

To be mentioned: I suck at picking colours because I am color deficient and I literally do not know what colour is more appealing.

Get whichever color you like better/speaks to you in a "GET ME! GET ME!" way?

Which is why I say pick whichever you want/is more appealing to you. Who cares about what we think? That Dual-Shock 4 is yours.

So how the hell does everyone sort their steam games? I've come over 500 games and I try to sort them into categories but it still feels cluttered.

I LITERALLY CANNOT THINK ABOUT COLOURS BECAUSE I HAVE NEVER DONE SO! BECAUSE I WAS BORN UNABLE TO APPRECIATE COLOURS.

So I am asking for help in my time of need. Raise the Gaf signal. Seriously though, red or blue.

There´s a Windows program that lets you sort out your games really quickly, but I can´t remember the name.
The silly thing is categories don't seem to carry over between computers though ):.

If that's the case: Black. Screw Red or Blue. Go with Black, it's sexy and goes with anything.

Doesn't help when the sorting process is one game at a time, without some kind of dedicated sorting page where you can click multiple games at once at assign a category.

Get red. It's the superior TF2 team.

Most go into genre categories, but I keep the "Games" category for new games that I buy (so I don't lose track too much) as all games that are bought go there by default. Also I use the "Installed" view for 'games I am playing or want to play soon'.

Eurogamer says that Riddick needs a really high-end PC to run well. Is it that poorly optimized? Or has it been improved?

Personally, I've been a champion for PC gaming as a means of getting measurably superior visuals at much smoother frame-rates, but to do so with Riddick appears to require a monstrous GPU. It's disappointing that a GBP 100 graphics card is being bested so easily by a complete console system that costs just GBP 30 more. Yes, performance radically improved when we bunged in the GBP 400 NVIDIA GTX295, but bearing in mind Riddick's console origins, we shouldn't need to be over-engineering on the PC that much. Basically, it's high-end or bust here.

There are 2 categories absolutely essential: multi and nope, you don't want to mix these with other games. All else is matter of preference, by genres, by level on unfinishness, by level of desire to play and so on.

I kind of did but it mostly because I thought from the beginning that
the whole story was gonna be played straight so the whole spooky house thing went over my head. If it really was a haunted house type game I figured it'd be spoken of as such. If the payoff was discovering that you were wrong about something being up well, I didn't get anything for my time.

It's a bad port. I have an OC'd GTX 670, and attempting to up the AA or certain other settings past the lower options means slideshow. And the game really needs high AA. The graphics overall look barely acceptable.

I liked 1 and 2 and plan on playing Brotherhood and Revelations. Where would you rank it in the series?
Click to expand...

AC2: Brotherhood - AC2 - AC2: Revelations- ACIII - AC1

Brotherhood was just *crazy* fun, even if the narrative wasn't as good as straight up AC2. Revelations feels a bit rote and tired after Brotherhood and is kind of skippable. AC3 isn't a horrible game, but it's pretty mediocre. And coming so fast on the heels of the AC2 expansions made it feel very tired. And yeah, it takes FOREEEEEEVER to get going. And I never liked AC1; to me it felt like a fantastic game engine that they forgot to put a game into.
