Any more opinions on this before I go for it? Is the NV DLC worth the doubled price of the Ultimate Edition? Is F3 worth getting, or does NV render it obsolete?

Are Deadspace 1 & 2 worth $10? I haven't played either but I'm always in for a good horror game.
Ehh...I played the hell out of F3, but I couldn't get into NV for some reason. It just felt "different". A lot of people prefer it, though.

Hell yes they are. IF you like horror, then GET THOSE GAMES.

Guys, need game suggestion.
Anything like Dawn of Discovery on Steam? It's not available on AU Steam. I think Anno 2070 is similar but that was 30 even with the discount here :''(
^^
I see the Patrician III suggestion.. any others?
Yes, they are both great.

Hmm I want to get the New Vegas Ultimate but I really don't know when or if I would ever play it. I did really like Fallout 3 though, is it still as buggy as it was at launch?
Sorry, I have a Fallout 3 question as well.
On the list of supported video cards, it does not say that the NVIDIA 400 series is supported. I have a 460...I would assume that it should work, but it's bothersome that it's not listed. Can anyone confirm whether or not it will run?

From my understanding, Back In Action makes Sword of the Stars 2 look like a working product. Don't even touch it with a bargepole.

Aren't the PC versions stupid in some way? Bad DRM or something? Or are they just generally crappy ports? I don't know, but I remember people not being too happy with them. Or maybe I dreamt that.

Just be aware if you are new to gaming or just not very good, you might have trouble with the end sequence of dead space 2
From memory it was the old 'console port' poor keyboard/mouse support and that sort of stuff. Or maybe you had to turn vsync off. It seemed fine to me.

Is this good?
Ultimate Edition DOES NOT include all of the DLC as many were saying.
That's strange.
I just double-checked and I received all the DLC from buying the Ultimate Edition.
Green boxes for all 6 DLC under it.
Edit: nvm I see I was beaten to it...a long time ago.

No worries there.
I've played my fair share of "fuck you" games to know what truly cheap and unfair gameplay is.Regarding DRM, I only have one machine and shouldn't have issues with it (I would hope).

Made my first purchasing mistake of Steam sale - I bought Fallout NV + all the DLC separately. Instead of just reading the page a 2nd time and buying the Ultimate Edition.

damn following this thread at work is a lost cause...
in for NV:Ultimate...waiting until 2 more flashes reset to see if theres anything else to pick up

I just got both from Amazon a few days ago, runs fine for me.
Was cleared up a few posts after.
The ultimate edition has everything.
As for the Fallout 3 Windows 7 issues, there is a known problem with quad cores. You can fix it with a simple ini edit.
If RF: G doesn't win, I'll pick up Fallout 3. I've spent £35 ($54) so far. I'm willing to spend a maximum of £10 ($15) more.
Weird. I just picked up the UE and everything except the Courier's Stash is included. Oh well, what's another 49 cents?
EDIT: Forget that. Just tried to buy it and now it says I own it. How strange. Didn't say anything when it was in my cart.

Our Gaben at Vale,
hallowed be your name.
Your sales come,
your will be done,
on earth as it is in Steam.
Give us this sale our summer sale,
and forgive us our lust,
as we also have forgiven our inferior brothers.
And lead us not onto consoles,
but deliver us from Microsoft.

Does it have to be on steam? Gog has zeus and caesar 3, both supposed to be amazing city builders.
Thanks to everyone who threw out Guardian of Light recommendations in this thread. Very responsive, fun game. Also, Raziel using dual pistols is kind of hilarious to me.
It did not. I'm keeping an eye out on that too.

Fallout 3 GOTY 4.99

My latest deal, except I went with Dead Space 2 only. Gogo
I have a bad feeling Im going to miss it because of work, oh well, I can wait until the next possible sale for a much lower price.
YES! ~200 hrs of fun right there.

Yeah, probably will. Do we know if Dead Space 3 will be Origin exclusive? Kind of bothers me if I can't finish the series on the platform I started it on... which is why I've decided against getting the Mass Effects on Steam.
I guess the problem with that is that I really don't need 200 more hours of games to play. I already have way too many unplayed games! But such is the curse of Gaben...
By the rate we are playing our games, he could leave out NV and get that for 5€ in the winter sale. F3 is a 100 hour madness anyway
RoadHazard said:
Ah, then start with only F3! More than enough gaming to keep you busy until the winter sales if you dont need 200h of gaming right now.

All the DLC shows up on my DLC tab in preferences so you definitely get it all. At least in the US, you do.
I asked about which expansion to get but I might as well get it all for the complete experience. Now to see which mods work best......
Game plus all expansions is only 5GB? Thought it would be bigger
Down to $34. I always find it hard to bite on something over 5 on these sales but this one is easily worth it.

Hmm, good point. Maybe I will hold off on NV. There's no way I'll actually get to it before the winter sale anyway.
I would say yes to Fallout 3 and DeadSpace as those wont get cheaper any time soon.
Why not wait for the Winter Sale for NewVegas(might be priced lower), till then you have Fallout 3.

Can someone on the US servers tell me how much Transformers: War for Cybertron is currently? I saw it mentioned that it was discounted, but did not read how much it was.
haha nice.

Yeah, thinking that's what I will do.
And damn, now the PoP Complete Pack is on a flash sale again. Wasn't it yesterday too? Kind of want to pick it up.
If you like the Fallout universe then go with New Vegas. Fallout 3 doesn't do a good job with the fiction, however, it's a pretty good open-world game.

I asked this yesterday, but how are the PC versions of the Prince of Persia games? I've only played Sands of Time, and parts of some of the others, and I really kind of want to pick the Complete Pack up.
I actually have never played a Fallout game. So I think I will just start with F3 for now, and then maybe get NV during the winter sale.

I had a dream that Gabe Newell gave me a tour of iD studios. It was a dump. He gave me a big metal detector style device which he said was necessary to degauss the monitors to make the place safe to walk through.

Picked up Fallout 3: GOTY and New Vegas Ultimate this morning. Hard to pass up at that price. Pretty sure F3: GOTY will never go lower than $5.

Guys, I bought New Vegas vanilla instead of UE... is this a huge mistake?
I contacted support (lol) to see if I can change but I'm feeling like I can do without.

I really can't be asked to buy New Vegas DLC, I completed the game on all 3 story lines with Hardcore mode, and frankly the story sucked compared to Fallout 3, most of the later missions just overlap and you just do the same shit again for each story. I do however applaud it for going for the more varied approach, they could have gone deeper with it.
Expect to complete all 3 stories in about 30 hours. (just main missions alone.)
I really do think Fallout 3 and New Vegas are on level pegging.

But Fallout 3 is very not good this day and age. New Vegas is a much better gaming investment.
