Wait, does System Shock 2 really need 2GB RAM? I was thinking about buying it, but now I see my computer can't run this game from 1999.

Basic stealth game rules apply:
Just take things slow and observe patterns before acting. Don't forget to explore every nook and cranny.
There's no time limit
except in that one section kinda

I'm so glad I got Arkham City this time around.

It's good that they are heading in that direction. I don't have Bioshock 2 yet but I do have both of the Batman Arkham games and I indeed look forward to playing them once GFWL and Securom are gone.

Just over 3 gigs. There is also some other free DLC you need to opt in for for it to show up in game.
Just saw that it worked fine in the activity feed. Congrats! Enjoy.

Yeeeah I don't think so, I don't think there were even any PC's in 99 with 2GB's of RAM

The ways enemies spawn certainly threw me for a loop. I basically had the Bioshock and Bioshock Infinite jump scare moments happen completely organically in SS2, think a place is completely empty, turn around HOL--FU--ALLTHEBULLETS
I guess having games on the backlog has paid off for once. Usually these sorts of things happen to games I've already long since finished.

I guess I'm going to need Bio2 for Minerva's Den? I do own the retail version, but that's not steamworks :/
Keep in mind that the Securom and GFWL removal is speculation on my part. There is quite a bit of circumstantial evidence that keeps piling up, but at this point it is purely circumstantial.
Not making Condemned 3.
2 was vastly inferior to 1, but I would still love to see a third game.

You know if they can remove GFWL from Bioshock 2 then they can patch in controller support too damn it.

I just thought I was going to the wrong place so I backtracked between this hallway for like 5 times. Turns out that going through a door respawns 3 enemies behind you every time you go througHOOOLYFUCKWHEREDIDTHATCOMEFROMWRENCHWRENCHWRENCh it. And it was the right direction after all

But that's what the system requirements on the steam page say:
System Requirements
Minimum:
OS:Windows XP / Vista / 7 / 8
Processor:1.8 GHz Processor
Memory:2 GB RAM
Graphics:3D graphics card
DirectX®:9.0c
Hard Drive:2 GB HD space

atched to version 2.4So is this just a typo by Valve or am I missing something here?

ok, anyone knows why McPixel runs at 1fps on my pc (literally, there's a fps counter). I didn't have this the first time I played but it suddenly happened and has been like this ever since. Restarting doesn't help, checking integrity of game cache finds nothing and even deleting and reinstalling the game didn't help... This is just weird.

In '99 windows 7 and 8 didn't even exist, same for DX9, and the game is only 500mb, not 2GB.
I think it's just some standard "minimun requirement", since nowadays basically evey computer has at least 2GB of RAM.

I voted for Risen 2. I know the game is bad since I was in the beta. I'm just hoping risen 1 gets the 75% discount as well so it will be $2.50.
DirectX 9 wasn't even out when SS2 was released, so...
Like all system requirements, take them with a pinch of salt... which you then put on your fries.
Sell it without unpacking.
I've never played No One Lives Forever, but I've always wanted to.
It's a shame it's not available on either Steam or GOG.

That is because Steam version is using a different engine. Now it uses DX9, at least from what I heard in steam forums.

You haven't by chance enabled one of the graphic filters in the options have you? They destroy the FPS and that's the only thing I can think of.

Of course, I know that there are no assurances of anything yet. I have enough else to play right now that it's not too much of a bother to me but I am hopeful that by the time I get around to them this convoluted mess will no longer be an issue.

Oh yeah, I have... But the game is so slow now I can't get into the menu to chance them
Sweet, will do.
nope. it may be possible that it contains a foil card, but that's pretty rare. i would just sell the booster pack.
Do you think the new Xbox One infrastructure will kill GFWL entirely? Maybe that's what all of this is leading to.
I gave Evoland a try. Really, really liking it. Super clever, and a lot of fun. For that price it's a great gem.

WHAT HAVE I EVER DONE TO YOU?!
No, I think Microsoft just told companies that they aren't supporting the platform after 2013.
It had nothing to do with Xbox One and everything to do with failing consumer interest in restrictive DRM.

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.
That game is awesome. I know some people complain that it's too short, but at least they're honest about it.
"A short story..."

So, if I don't have 2GB RAM, I won't be able to run it?

The RPG sections are terribad.
I also think they spaced out the evolutions very poorly.
That said, I still feel it's worth a play if you like the genres it toys with.
dave is ok
aztek is ok
You have to redeem, lest you be called a coward from now until the day you die.
Same engine from the original release.
The only thing Night Dive studios did was compile existing fan fixes with the original release, and polish everything until it worked perfectly.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
I can't wait for 2016 to roll around and for Microsoft to remember it's been a while since they tried to destroy PC gaming.
Prepare yourself for the Windows One platform.
Thanks for The Geneforge Saga!
