Support NeoGAF

[SteveWinwood]

Just tried running Vampire: Masqurade: Bloodlines. Received an 'Engine Error' on startup and each subsequent attempt to startup stating 'Available memory less than 15MB!!! -1'. Does anyone know what this is and/or how to fix it?

There is tons of stuff wrong with trying to run that game on a modern os. There are guides on here that basically mod the game completely out and it's just worth it to end up doing that. I'll try and find it really quick.

Here just follow the directions in the op.

I just read that you can't rename or delete categories once you create them in Steam. Is that true? Sounds like a terrible idea.

You can't rename them as far as I'm aware, but you can delete them.

Read the first post here. Might help to install the patches.


Edit: From the thread:

IF YOU HAVE -15MB RAM ERRORS INSTALL THE FUCKING PATCH.

So sounds like that will do the trick.

They will randomly delete themselves anyways so no bother ;P

j/k, but i think there was a file you should back up in case it happens?

I've done it a few times, I might just spam it till it works, lol.

Haha yeah, that would be a stupid reason to miss out on the (wildly important but still) badge!

 

[Stephen_drewz]

some places have the entire pack for Splinter Cell games i think..

http://store.steampowered.com/sub/4158/

Thanks. Im AUS so no wonder I haven't seen this.

 

[Nirolak]

Okay, so i'm purchasing two packs of Cubemen, but I had a question.

So, after I buy the initial two pack and send the second copy, do I buy additional two packs for myself, or do I buy them as gifts and tell the person receiving the gift who to send the second game to?

 

[The_Monk]

Edit: Thanks a lot todd

 

[iNvid02]

£10 spent all on shitty dlc, and before it was discounted

You have to install the latest community patches

Thanks everyone. Following the guide in the OP as we speak.

 

[Ciastek3214]

GAF, sell me on The Last Remnant, but what you should know first, I don't like Final Fantasy too much, also I rather play a jRPG that's as little Japanese-ish as possible.

Reposting because it probably got lost on the last page.

Don't think that's true. I've made plenty of categories and I believe that if you just remove any game from a certain category it disappears. I had plenty of categories before I had an error occur that wiped them so now I just use two for current and finished games, and all the other categories are gone.

I think as a gift.

 

[dot]

Can someone get me Just Cause 2? I can offer The Ship in trade. Might have something else for trade too but it's even more common.

It's around $5 in here and in the US it's only $3.74 ...! It would be the very final sale for me, didn't want to miss that one. Thanks in advance.

I'd gift you it but i currently don't have monies. I'm sure someone will help you soon though.

 

[NZNova]

My last remaining goals are Crusader Kings II and both Ys games. Buy today or hope for the redux tomorrow?! Maybe?!

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Come on peoplez buy Red River so I can have people to play the campaign with!

 

[Sianos]

Buy today, sale ends at 10 am PAR.

If you've waited this long, you might as well take it a little longer. Do buy both Ys.

Oh nvm apparently it ends. Buy na0

Thanks.

Sweet Amazon sale.

 

[KirbYuuYuu]

Buy today, both Ys games haven't gotten cheaper than the initial sales price. Origins would of but steam community voted for KotOR instead (they love them some ten year olds).

Sweet Amazon sale.

There's two different packs in it that has Crusader Kings 2 in one pack and DLC in the other pack. It'll cost about 20 bucks overall so do price comparisons to see which is cheaper (unless you want everything then just jump on em).

 

[DeadFalling]

All my game money is in my Steam Wallet. Would anyone be willing to get TLR and I'll get something you want of about equivalent value from Steam? Basically just a trade. Not sure if it's taboo here

Last try :/

 

[Stephen_drewz]

Final day purchases(not including anything from previous days):

Just Cause 2
Assassins Creed Pack
Splinter Cell Pack

More then enough to keep me occupied till halloween.

Big thanks to those who helped me with gifting. Wont name name's to avoid them getting bombarded with requests lol.

So Far,

Deus Ex DLC

Post Mortem
Stalker COP
Still Life 2
Syberia Bundle

Noticed you picked up Syberia, Still Life and Post Mortem. Have you ever played those before? Are they any good? I have been on the fence for those games.

 

[gabbo]

Last try :/

How much is it?

 

[Tomat]

Is Ys: Origin so good that I should just get it now, or can I just focus on Ys: Oath and wait will a Winter sale or something?

 

[Shurayuki]

Buy today, sale ends at 10 am PAR.

They could still be flash sales.

Right?

RIGHT??????

 

[dragonlife]

Reposting because it probably got lost on the last page.

It's only "Japanese-y" in the sense that the main character is a moronic goofball and pretty. There is only one other prettyboy in the game, but he's cool. There are also anthropomorphic characters.

The combat is fun, the music is great, and it's the best RPG SE has done this generation.

Listen to this and tell me you don't like it

 

[coopolon]

Hmm, AC: Rev was pretty hard to pass up the previous times. It'd be nice to complete my collection before 3, but I really doubt I'll get around to playing it before 3 is released and I'm sure after 3 it will drop in price more.

 

[Razek]

Just waiting on the second place winner!

Please check up top incase you have a Private Message. It could be you!

"Huh?"

Gold Private Message-Unread 1
"Woo!"

Somebody mistook me for ImRight's contest again and PM'd me their game and number.

sigh lol

 

[Cth]

Thanks Gen X!

Sorry guys, took a little longer to get dinner than I thought

CLAIMED: Burnout Paradise

 

[gabbo]

Still Life is a good p&c adventure, with a few "honey on the cat hair makes a moustache"-type puzzles and an ending that may anger you.

 

[CambriaRising]

It still couild be because in a bizarre twist of fate the first place winner actually turned down the prizes as he owned them already so after the second place picks their game there will be 2 games in the random number draw. That's a 1-6 chance of winning! =D

Yay! I love twists!!

 

[Mackenzie 92]

Still can't believe I missed Morrowind.

 

[dragonlife]

OiF is great, but you'll probably want to hop on to Origin once you beat it to take even more Ys into your veins. Just wait till the last possible moment in case it comes up as a flash deal. You never know!

 

[Smashkirby]

I.. didn't even mean to make that joke back there...

 

[Truelize]

I have never heard that expression before but I'm going to put that in my holster and use it later in life. Excellent.

Are the games very long? I like adventure games but honestly don't want to be putting in 10 hours for each of these.

 

[DSN2K]

please vote GTA! missed last time it was up

 

[Joe Molotov]

I've been away from home base (but still participating in the sale via phone), do we know yet if this sweet-ass badge is good for anything yet? Something like "Unlocks the bonus 12th day of sales with all the best deals for badge-holders only"?

 

[dragonlife]

All one billion times?

Isn't the PC port pretty terrible?

It's a quote from an old Idle Thumbs podcast describing the ridiculousness of adventure game puzzles

I haven't beaten Still Life 2 yet, but I think I put 8-10 hours into the first one. Maybe a little longer for a couple puzzles. That being said, it was the first adventure game I had played in ages, so one might burn through it quicker if the learning curve is smaller for them.

 

[NZNova]

Sweet Amazon sale.

Schweet, thanks.

 

[Killer]

Sweet Amazon sale.

Are the games steam redeemable ?

^ Lack of EUIII is sad but still amazing value!

Get The Blackwell games then! :3

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=40151094&postcount=149

Yeah, its really short. I finished it in 3 hours maybe? Guess that should be mentioned as well when talking about the value of these games. Might be a plus for some though, its a very well done game that you can actually finish in one sitting and wont linger for ages in your backlog.

 

[Smash88]

GOT MY BADGE! WOOO!

If you ever played Gabriel Knight 3, you'd know.

 

[bigace33]

PC port is the definitive GTA if you have the right rig. It's a pretty cpu intensive game, but when it's optimized to run right, it's a thing of beauty.
