Mmm man having a hard time picking.

Come on folks! Vote for AssCreed 3! I really want to finish the desmond saga before 4 comes out. You guys scared me off from wanting to pay full price for the game even though i loved the series.
Seriously, you don't want to.
Look up the ending online and be glad you didn't spend hours playing the game to get to that point.
YOU MONSTER
Good man.

Ok... So.... 4 Pack then or not?
Thanks, would ordinarily get both for these prices but I have 25$ in my Steam wallet and promised myself I wouldn't go beyond that.

With the way the unwashed masses have been voting so far this summer...AC 3 is a shoe in.
I'd say so, it's set thousands of years before the movies. They are great RPG's. Personally I like the original KOTOR a little bit more, but at that price, I'd say snag both.
For those on ancient hardware considering buying Reus, be aware you need a DX10 card to run the game. It won't run at all on a DX9 card right now so they're currently rewriting their code to allow it, but that update won't be ready till September.
2. Your graphics card does not meet the minimum requirements, most likely because it does not support the Highdef XNA minimum settings.
SOLUTION: I'm sorry, but you'll have to wait.
The issue occurs because of the XNA minimum requirement sets. XNA has 2 possible configurations: HighDef and Reach. XNA rates your graphics card depending on which minimum set is met. The problem here is that we have pretty big textures (hundreds of animal animations, with different zoom levels), which is supported by almost any graphics card, but is above the Reach minimum.
Therefor, XNA will say you NEED the HighDef minimum, which means directX 10. So if your computer is super fine, and could easily run Reus, but doesn't support directX 10, XNA says that your game cannot run Reus.This is particularly frustrating for both you and for us, because we aren't exclusively using any directX 10 features!
Since XNA is being discontinued, our only solution is to, well, remove the whole XNA thing from Reus. Since it's the very core foundation of the game, we need to rewrite a whole load of code, in particular the content pipeline, but we'll probably encounter other XNA problems on the way. Fixing this just takes time, and to play it safe we'll just say it will take about 3 months. Probably less, but we don't know what we can encounter.
JUST KNOW THAT THE HARDCORE PROGRAMMERS ARE WORKING ON THIS EXCLUSIVELY TO FIX THIS AS FAST AS POSSIBLE!! ANY OTHER PATCHES ARE MADE WITHOUT THEM!!
The only luck in this is that breaking XNA is also a big part of porting it to Mac and Linux, so those two things go hand in hand.
Any patches that might arrive before this is fixed are made by me (designer), artists and manuel (gameplay programmer), and are not at the cost of making this work as quickly as possible.
Hopefully this thread will increase your insight in the problem, and help relieve the frustration a little. Sorry for the inconvenience, and thanks for your patience!

Good community, not sure how big it is. Very friendly for new players (I never played NS1)
It was the cheapest it will be all sale a few days ago, so I picked it up.

I already have DX and metro looks meh.
Shit. I assumed that was a UPlay code.
I was here yesterday and have no idea what are you talking about :/Hey everyone just a heads up. Setting a custom background in Enhanced Steam is currently disabled while I deal with a particularly troublesome user. Anyone here yesterday will know which user I'm referring to.
If you guys want his Steam ID I can pass it along.
Is NS2 ok? The strategy elements really look shit.
You have to redownload it if you had it prior to a few hours ago for the cards to kick in
It's funny that when I read the title of the game I was wondering how it should be pronounced (Ruse? Ree-us?), before I realized that it must be the word "giant" in Dutch. And yes, it's a game by Dutch devs. Cool!
Metro is far better than any Assassin's Creed game.

Terraria is really pulling my attention, and it isn't the sort of game I usually go for, so that has me intrigued, but I know it is coming to Vita, and it just seems like that would be the perfect way to play such a game.
But it's so cheap, I could buy it with card money's and not spend a penny............but I know I wont play it, it will just go on my Steam backlog, whereas on my Vita I would actually play it..........

NS2 is awesome, if a little hard to stick with because you always need a good team.

I thought it was Unity.

Need the Jedi Knight Collection.

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'm wondering that myself.
I must have been sleeping due the different time zones fellow GAFfer.
What happened? Some user being rude?
There is a user that requested a feature that I didn't want to add. When I responded and told him that he was free to add the feature himself (because the software is open-source) he became quite rude and left a negative review on Google.
So this morning I caught him tampering with the database and have disabled access until it's sorted out. I've contacted his university. Sorry for the trouble everyone.
Yup, getting a bad Commander is pretty much an auto-loss.
