I've never played KOTOR, should I get it? Tempeted at $2.50

YES.

Is Dear Esther controller enabled? All game related sites (including Steam) are blocked at work, or I'd look it up myself.

 

[joshwaan]

I'm thinking of getting Rage what improvements does the PC have over the Xbox version apart from Res?

Will they release a patch for the better textures one day?

Also voted on Mirror's Edge it's on sale a lot but keep missing it lol

 

[NaM]

Thanks guys.

 

[HerbertFish]

Questions:

1. Is Men of War any good? Really tempted here.

2. How is the PC version of Sonic racing? Has it been on sale yet? Again tempted here.


Wish they would release a Sonic pack.

 

[mileS]

Agreed. It's what is stopping me from biting. Weird.

If thats the reason you probably don't want to buy/play it anyway.

 

[stevematic]

Best Star Wars media since Return of the Jedi. Don't hesitate if you enjoyed Star Wars ever in the past.

YES.

Well, I'm sold. Thanks.

[Celegus]

I change my mind about Binding of Isaac!! I actually do want it! Go back to 75% off pls?

I did too... tons of my friends bought it so it may be popular enough for an encore on recap day.

 

[marrec]

The only thing I'm waiting for now is Lego games.

I need Lego Batman for a higher discount!

 

[ArjanN]

Is the PC even getting it?

The PC version was always the HD version.

 

[Banana Kid]

I've never played KOTOR, should I get it? Tempeted at $2.50

I remember the PC port being kinda messed up, but you can probably find some mods to get it working properly. It's really good.

I wonder why KOTOR 2 isn't on Steam? Even with all its problems, it seems weird that Lucasarts seems to totally ignore its existence.

 

[Stumpokapow]

I feel compelled to show you guys I have a problem.

The good news is you can only have a problem for so many sales before you are satiated.

 

[MaritalWheat]

Thanks guys, sounds like I'll keep my fingers crossed, otherwise just pick up Trinity the last day, $10 isn't bad at all.

 

[-Mikey-]

Is there an Ys game that everyone prefers over the other? I'd like to buy an Ys game but only The Oath in Felghana is on sale today and I've read lots of high praise for Origins.

Even if it's a tad messed up, everything I've heard about it and at that price it's probably worth it.

 

[nicoga3000]

So Dear Esther looks interesting...What IS it?

 

[insane0hflex]

What are your thoughts on Metro 2033? How long is it?

I want to do a playthrough/walkthrough (AKA Let's Play of it), it seems really cool, and I havent found anyone decent at commentating doing one, so I'd like to give it a shot.

Also, is RAGE worth it? Seems cool and short enough for another Walkthrough series, although I heard somehwere that it is like 20gigabytes.
(edit: I have a slow connection, don't want to spend 3 days downloading it)

I prefer Oath to Origins, but that's my mobile gaming bias probably.

They're both good buys, but Oath is more "MetroidvaniaRPG" then Origins.

Recommended Video Card:
GraphicsirectX 9 compliant video card with Shader model 3.0 support. NVidia 8800, ATI Radeon 2900 pro or better (Pre-Sandybridge Intel graphic chipsets not supported).

Right from the Steam page. Your GT 240 is quite a bit ahead of the nVidia 8800.

Yeah, I saw that, but I'm a bit of a PC gaming noob. I have no idea where a 240 stands in relation to the 8800. Thought I would ask.

Much appreciated, by the way. I think I'll bite.

How well does Half Life 2 run on your machine?

I, uh, have never played Half Life 2 on this machine. Portal 2 runs pretty good at the highest I can crank it, if that helps.

 

[Ciastek3214]

You are crazy. It's like 5 different games that I don't want to type because it spoils the game mechanics and fun of going "Oh shit! This is exactly like [insert game]. It's like a bunch of guys got together and said "You know what, I really like [list of 5 games], lets make a mashup of all of them!"



Lets put it this way: It's a Legend of Zelda game in structure (dungeons, get new items and use them to solve dungeons / beat bosses) and God of War-like in combat. Which is awesome because the combat is Zelda games has never really been it's high point. If you need another comparison point, the combat is a less technical Devil May Cry.

So, if I loved Soul Reaver, will I love this?

 

[Dusk Golem]

The good news is you can only have a problem for so many sales before you are satiated.

About. XD The other good news is that the last few days have been a lot of fun as I've actually been playing a lot of games with some extra free time I have. However, I only have about $40 left in spendable budget for the sale, which likely will go to multiplayer games.

 

[joeygreco1985]

So Dear Esther looks interesting...What IS it?

Boring

 

[ag-my001]

I've never seen Sins on sale on Steam, but miracles happen every day during the Summer Sale.

Sins Trinity and GalCiv2 are on sale for 50%. Seems like they're holding off on Sins: Rebellion in particular, though it's understandable for a game that is just now one month old. It may go for 20% off, but I'm guessing any daily deal will likely be for the older versions.

I love that you threw GalCiv2 into your post.

 

[Incendiary]

Damage Update:

Total War: Shogun 2 - $7.49
Payday: The Heist - $4.99
Indie Bundle II - $9.99
Ys Origin - $7.99
Vessel - $3.74
X3: Terran Conflict - $3.99
Metro 2033 - $4.99
Serious Sam 3 BFE - $9.99
Cave Story+ - $2.49

Total: $55.66

I was hoping to stay under $50, but pft, like that was ever going to be possible. Holding out hope I'll still clock in under $100 though.

 

[Banana Kid]

It's totally worth it, I'm just warning you that there's gonna be a bit of hassle involved.

 

[MasLegio]

10$ for RAGE is not enough. 5 or bust!

Got Dear Esther though. I don't really care but at that price it's hard to bargain...

Lol...
In they are trying to rip us off with 17€ (20£) for Rage.
Greedy stupid fucks, but I guess there is some stupid user that will buy this pos anyway...

 

[Dog Problems]

So Dear Esther looks interesting...What IS it?

The best way I can describe it is an interactive short story. You're on a path and can explore outside of it, and as you go you're told bits of story along the way. There's other little things to see along the way. It's only about an hour long but it's meant to be played numerous times to fully understand what is going on. Definitely not for everyone.

 

[stevematic]

Ah... thanks for the heads up. I'll look around for some mods.

 

[whalleywhat]

So Dear Esther looks interesting...What IS it?

A mystery wrapped in an enigma.

Spoiler

You walk around an abandoned environment while snippets of narration play, which often have a very tenuous connection to what's happening on your screen. It's quite pretty at times.

 

[leroidys]

Age of Empires 3 is incredible and the best RTS of all time right up there with AoEII. The expansions add a ridiculous amount of content, and the community is still quite active.

Buy it people.

I own it twice, but am even considering going for a 3rd...

 

[HerbertFish]

Age of Empires 3 is incredible and the best "Age" game right up there with AoEII. The expansions add a ridiculous amount of content, and the community is still quite active.

Stop trying to make me spend more money. Never played a AoE game. Play a lot of Warcraft and Starcraft. I'm guessing I'll like this?

 

[CosmicQueso]

Also, is RAGE worth it?

Do you like games in which you shoot things from a 1st person perspective?

 

[Wuthering_Heights]

I'm kind of upset that I missed the Fallout New Vegas flash deal.

Any chance it will be back at the end?

 

[Curufinwe]

Fear 2 is going to be my third $3.74 purchase after American Nightmare and the Maxy Payne 1 and 2 bundle.

Is the Fear 2 Reborn DLC worth getting, though?

 

[I H8 Memes]

Anybody else need help buying from the US store? just add me.

From what I understand, the assets exist and this is possible. But it won't ever happen. For all of that unique texturework, Rage looks like a pile 70% of the time, and it's all down to texture resolution.

 

[MasLegio]

Yau can buy Rage cheaper everywhere than on steam even with the "sale" price. Do not support bad pricing, do not buy this game on Steam.

 

[spiderman123]

Is men of war or liberation any good?!

 

[Lothars]

I'm kind of upset that I missed the Fallout New Vegas flash deal.

I'm sure it will be, I think the majority of deals will be back.

I enjoy games like this. I'm more into exploration based games than action heavy games anyways. Exploring the Wasteland of Fallout 3 and discovering all the neat things about the "old world" was one of the best gaming moments I've had in a VERY long time.

Will buy.

 

[KodeAndGame]

Do people still play AC:R online? I loved AC:B multiplayer.

 

[Ciastek3214]

So, if I missed the Fallout New Vegas Ultimate Edition Flash Deal, then I'm fucked?

 

[ohhthegore]

where should I buy it from then?

 

[GoingGreen]

Add me on Steam if you'd like ' WiiDSmoker'

 

[Krappadizzle]

Was hoping for $5... :/

I was too. Ive bought close to 25 games or so, and Rage I was looking to pick up for around $5. I don't think I'll scoop it up as I have way too much as it is. Will probably pick up quantum Conundrum if it goes on sale for cheaper. That is the only thing I want that I haven't bought.

 

[Baconsaurus Rex]

So, if I missed the Fallout New Vegas Ultimate Edition Flash Deal, then I'm fucked?

Will probably be a daily deal later this week.

 

[leroidys]

Its similar in that they are the same genre so play similarly. In terms of the mechanics, it did borrow a lot from Warcraft 3, but integrated it in a way that feels like a natural progression of the "Age..." series rather than tacked on "me too!" crap.

I am interested at the price. Not sure if I'd ever get around to playing it though...
