It is an EA game. I just bought it for 7E at GMG with an origin key. EA games will most likely less costly during sales if you are ready to register on Origin.
DustForce and Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet, my two fails for these sales.

I bought ARMA II CO like 2 years ago for $7.50 now it looks like the best buy I ever made...
And im not even that big on DayZ.
Damage so far:
Limbo $2.50
Gal Civ II $5.00
SpaceChem $2.50
Call of Pripyat $5.00
Total $15.00
Or about R130.00 in South African Monies.
Not too bad.

Both? If not Machinarium is a standard point and click with a nice cartoony style, while Botanicula is more like an interactive storybook. Amazing visuals with a real quirky style but it's really light on the puzzles and there's no selecting things from your inventory. Both great games. Whichever sounds better out of the 2.

I just played the TLR demo does that pop-in ever get better? In terms of things that totally ruin a game for me pop-in is really high up there.
It's Unreal Engine...so it's never going to go away entirely, but there are tweaks you can pull in the PC to make it non-existent. At least I was never bothered much by the pop-in, and the demo isn't the best way to judge that.

No, Dungeon Siege 1, I bought the complete pack with 1, 2 , 3 and expansion, but I'm playing 1, Haven't tried 2 or 3 yet.
Machinarium is on sale regularly. Botanicula is brand new and also I think more ambitious and charming.

This has been the Steam sale of adventure games for me.
First thing I bought was Back to the Future (which I already finished, then watched the three movies afterward).
Then:
Sam and Max Seasons 1-3
Tales of Monkey Island
Monkey Island Special Edition bundle
Broken Sword Trilogy (on absolute impulse)
Botanicula
Might as well add the Walking Dead to that list. My resolve to wait for winter or later is weakening.

It's not an EA game on Steam though. It's self-published by the defunct 38 Studios.
Yeah. They were literally giving the game away for a while. I remember because Ghost used to always champion the series and I always thought he must shed a tear when it's a couple dollars and nobody wants it even if it were free.
Speaking of Dungeon Siege 1 - is Legends of Aranna included? I haven't noticed mention of it on the store site.

As a new steamer, I wonder if I need to track all forums to get such informations on steam games !
This is awesome. Is there a way to eliminate the late texturing in all other games using the Unreal Engine? I hate it so much, I just finished Alice and couldn't stand it, and I'm thinking about starting Arkham City which I'm sure will be full of textures appearing seconds later than the polygons. Jeez.

I haven't played Batman on a PC, but with the exception of one instance of it on the 360 I don't think there was any pop-in. It really is about the developers ability to optimize and less an issue with Unreal itself. ME 2 and 3 have hardly any and MK9 didn't have any either.
It works for several games. I did that with Borderlands and textures load instantly.
Hm?
It's not like that is some TLR specific issue, all UE games are known to suffer from that (^as evidenced by my friend Tomodachi, hah).
as for fixes...huh~, PC Gaming Wiki seems like it could become a reasonable place soon. Also the steam forums are probably the best place to solve any game issue on the internet, they've solutions for everything.
While I'm doing propaganda, might I get everybody interested in trying out the GameSaveManager and Dropbox combo please?
It's free, saves you from getting your stuff erased by GFWL and stuff, also its free.
As a PC gamer, it never hurts to do a quick Google on a game's tweaks/mods/cheats that you're planning to buy. Research FTW.

we have 3 more day i really want this game on steam
Fumbling about with ini files is the real game on PC.
I really really missed doing that, but some engines (UE mostly) have been so wonky that you'll again find yourself doing that quite a lot.
Happi~
Hehe, yeah...but not everybody likes that. Once I've gotten the game running, jumping into .inis and .cfgs is the next step. So much time spent optimizing Skyrim vs. playing it.
There is a huge difference between Skyrim messing around, and modifying 3 lines in an INI file

I just bought it because I like ARMA games :/
I hope people who are playing DayZ will maybe play ARMA as well, under all the bugs and crazy glitches its a really amazing game.

If its a shooter I'm going to play for eight hours and be done with it I don't even bother, but stuff like Bethesda RPGs where I know I'm going to in invest tons of time into it I'll spend a week getting things just right before I start playing.
I've always liked Bethesda for making their games so accessible to modding and tweaking; buying them for the PC is a no-brainer for me, even if I have to wait months.
Edit: That PC wikia is great.
