F.E.A.R. signal? Yep, yes it is. Along with Duke Nukem 3D, this is the pinnacle of FPS in my opinion.
The NOLF games are incredible too, despite having a couple of flaws. It speaks well of the games when I could overlook a few annoying sections and loved them anyway. I'd be willing to pay $15 for both games on Steam, and maybe $20 if they also come with Contract J.A.C.K. (though I hope they are priced lower if that ever happens).
And getting the Jedi Knight franchise is always a good idea. They have great gameplay mechanics, and are a blast to play. Don't forget to give the multiplayer a try, it's really fun even with bots.

I wouldn't buy a game that redeems on uPlay if Ubisoft paid me $60 to do it.

What's Blacklist like in comparison to Conviction?
£2.89 is a steal but it feels like a £10 purchase if i have to put up with uplay.

So...playing KOTOR for the first time (don't be jealous)
Not very far in, but it's great. I'm really enjoying the experience, story, gameplay

uPlay on steam is so damned annoying. Child of light is the first time I am playing a uPlay game and it just wants to get in your way the whole time.
I turned off the overlay, so everytime I start the game it gives me a warning about needing the overlay for features to work, while I'm playing it pops up some uplay rewards thing, and once I quit it hits me with ads for ubisofts other games.

You realize that Uplay is unavoidable? Being able to download it off of Steam just launches Uplay.
If you want to play the game, deal with it.
Do you know the twist?

I should've just bought the whole Star Wars Collection last year instead of buying more and more game one by one.
Now he at least knows there's a twist. Which can be almost as bad as outright telling what it is imo.

Vaguely. No specific plot points like how it connects to the narrative as a whole but yeah, I know the twist.
The twist is that there is no twist :O
Alright, I'll stop there then.
You'll be in for a treat when/if you get to KOTOR 2.
Also HK-47 is the best robot character in gaming. G0-T0 is second.
Two of those games are worth the price. One is not. Please make the right decision.

Hmm do I really want to spend $55 to complete my COD collection. Would be playing the WW2 games again immediately at least.
COD War Chest(COD1, United Offensive, Cod 2) - $15
COD World a War - $20
COD MW3 - $20
I like how the war chest doesn't come up if you just click the big Activision sale banner. Luckily I knew about it, makes buying the 3 games you get in the chest about $20 less.

I've tried to play a bit more Mr Bree+ and I'm sorry to say it looks like the technical issues are not fixed.
I either play out of the box, which means pretty constant crashes or I mess around with compatability settings. This makes it stable, but the fps goes down really low.
There might be a way to get it running and other people may have no issues? (Window 8.1 here) but I'm going to give up. It is a shame, because what I can play seems really well put together.

If you are referring to MW3 then I know and it hurts to even think about buying it. But if I get the earlier games again I need to complete the collection. Sadly I even have Ghosts on Steam. FPS junkie.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
I played a bit earlier, and gave up. My wireless controller wasn't recognized (at all) and the keyboard controls were floaty which made precision jumping difficult. I think I beat about 5 stages before finally getting too frustrated and giving up.

Have you found a widescreen fix? I tried that flawless widescreen thing and it didn't work =[

Flawless widescreen worked perfectly for me, wish it worked with KOTOR 2, I just got that working through a few different methods.
Haha this is amazing. Turns out the cure against that toxic community is jokes and laughs.

The controls/jumping is helped by unlocking more skills (run, other jumps etc). But yeah, getting to that point isn't worth the frustration right now.
Maybe it'll get updated, we'll see.

Yeah, I made it to the part where I unlocked running, then finally gave up. Also there was a level where I would get caught under these net things that came down from the ceiling. And then nothing. I could make the pig thing change directions, but I couldn't move. It didn't kill me, it just made me have to restart the level each time.
I tried pressing keys, jumping, etc for about 4 minutes before I finally gave up.

I settled on just the war chest for now. COD2 was probably my all time favourite game for playing at LANS back when it first came out. Kar98 all day every day.

Just beat Star Wars Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II, moving on to Star Wars Jedi Knight: Mysteries of the Sith. So close to replaying Jedi Outcast I can almost taste it.
I think the issue is buying directly through uPlay, specifically how much a pain in the ass updating the individual games and client can be. If you buy a uPlay game through Steam, the whole process for dealing with updates is generally a painless experience becuase it's automated.

So no one has any suggestions as to what (if anything) I ought to grab out of the choices I listed earlier? : /

JK2 + JA. I don't think Prototype is worth playing at all (play 2) and Republic Commando was fun for what it was, but it's still baby's first rainbow six with more training wheels than you thought possible and shooting that lacks meaningful feedback a lot of the time.
Have you heard of Venom from Spider-Man comics? Powers of Spider-Man for running up walls, super strength, leaping ability, going through the city high above everyone else on top of a black suit that allows him to shape shift or slash at people with tentacles?
Well Prototype, though with an original story and character, is essentially Venom The Game from the makers of Hulk Ultimate Destruction. It boils down to a hack and slash, super jumping, air gliding, open city platforming or brawler title where it's perfectly fine to just mess around with and cause as much destruction as you want for as long as you are capable of doing so.
Story is rather throw-away as far as I'm concerned, but the rest is enjoyable. Various challenges of killing x amount of enemies using whatever specific ability or gun or vehicle is good fun for time wasters gives you something to do when you want the kill

I always greatly enjoyed the platforming challenges of proper timing jumps, time trials, and aerobatic challenges when I simply wasn't just running and jumping and super-power traveling around the city normally akin to what most did in Spider-Man 2 movie game.
A lot of fun for that price if such a type of game is what you enjoy. Plus you get to throw cars at giant tentacles in the middle of Times Square, so that's an experience.
Okay, tough decision time.
There's just too much on sale this weekend, and my finances are currently in the toilet, so my discretionary spending is pretty much limited to what I've got in my Steam wallet. Even idling like mad (is it even possible to 'idle like mad'?), there's no way I'm going to raise much more between now and the end of these sales. So I need to try and decide on something to pick up now - otherwise I'll just dither until the sales are over and end up getting nothing.(as usual >.> )
So here are the options I'm considering.
1. Republic Commando + either Jedi Knight II or Jedi Academy, whichever's better
2. Jedi Knight II + Jedi Academy
3. Prototype
4. Shadowrun
Any kind of input's welcome.
Here's something I posted earlier that I've expanded on:
I might be in the minority on this, but I found Republic Commando to be a thoroughly disappointing game. It's a fantastic use of the license, yes, but it's also one of the most repetitive shooters I've played. The campaign isn't even that long, and I was still wishing it was over halfway through. Enemies are bullet sponges, the tactical layer is too simple to amount to more than a mere distraction, and there are way too many parts where you have to do X objective three+ times.
I can recommend it for its current price, but not much more.
I do totally recommend Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy. Outcast's campaign has Kyle Katarn and more narrative, whereas you create your own generic character in Academy and go to random places barely tied together by a story. While both are awesome games, but their campaigns are very much your typical '90s maze/keycard/stupid icon puzzle structure. I think the locations are tons of fun for Star Wars fan, but the actual level design isn't particularly amazing. The multiplayer is awesome, but I'm not sure if Outcast or Academy's multiplayer is more alive - I'm guessing Academy because it's newer, though.

Awesome. I want to play through it again. First time I played it was on Xbox 360 through the OG Xbox emulation and it was a terrible experience technically (freezing, audio and video cutting out, getting stuck in geometry), but the game was so good I played it through regardless.
You should play KOTOR II with the restored content mod after you finish that.

Can you summon 2 NPC phantoms to help you at once in Dark Souls 2?

I'm trying to go to the Giant Lord boss fight and I thought I'd take Drummond AND Benhart... but if I can only take one, it's Benhart... so far, I noticed that I hadn't talked to him in the Memory of Orro, which I fixed, but then I still don't see his sign (after I entered the Memory of Jeigh and summoned Drummond immediately.
I believe that you generally can if there are two (which is rare to begin with), but the one you list is the exception, where you have to choose one.

I would suggest just getting the Jedi Knight collection though, as it has every game in that series for the same price as getting option #2.

No. It's inevitable. It's going to be Assassin's Creed in near-future Chicago, filled with the Ubisoft-typical repetitive side-quests and collectibles.
I'll still end up liking it though, just like every AC (barring 3) and Far Cry 3.
1) Find a game you want to play that uses steam_appid.txt
2) Edit in the id of the game you want cards for.
3) Start game from exe, not from Steam itself.
3a) sell cards, hopefully
4) Profit!
Edit: Damn it, it was not to be again. The force is weak in me ;_;
