Awesome, thanks for the info.

Has GTA IV been featured in a daily deal already? or is 50% off the best I'm going to get?

It, STALKER, Crysis, and tomorrow's Indie pack are the ones I'm still waiting for so it hasn't come up yet. Stick with it--it's bound to show up soon.

Get Warlock Master of the Arcane people when it becomes a daily deal.

Warlock - Master of the Arcane Update Released
Product Update - Valve
Patch Notes 1.2

Multiplayer and Diplomacy
• Players can now play Multiplayer games! (Steam is required).
• New Diplomacy system in Multiplayer and Single play: Now when a player sends a proposal to rival Mage it will be delivered on the beginning of his/her turn. You will receive an answer on your subsequent turn. The Diplomacy Screen was modified accordingly. Also a player will never know for sure if his\her proposal would or would not be accepted - there will be seen only a prediction of it before the message is sent.
• Changed diplomacy effect of relations with gods
• Behavior of AI Mages improved with personalities and new factors

"Lords and Artifacts"
• Mighty Lords come to your service! They can learn faster than normal units and receive many powerful abilities as they progress through level-ups. You can hire these heroes as they come occasionally searching for job, find them in monster layers or even receive them as quest reward.
• Lords can use powerful Artifacts which could be found in monster dens, received as quests rewards, gained and lost during battles, bought from Trader of Artifacts or smelted to mana.

Bug Fixes and Improvements
• A player may turn on/off Victory Conditions on the Game Start.
• Player can now destroy his buildings from city interface
• Mages, Veterans and Halberdies got new skills. Mages can learn to cast fireballs and Veterans now have ZoneOfControl perk.
• New actions for Galleons units of humans and mosters
• Implemented a News message when you successfully research a new spell.
• Implemented a News message when any of the Great Mages controls a certain percentage of Holy Grounds.
• The Unity Spell cannot be counterspelled anymore, but its casting time was made longer. Also starting to cast a Unity spell worsens relations with all Great Mages.
• A Message "A Great Mage is Defeated" now looks better.
• AI now uses Dispels smarter and more aggressively.
• Teleportation spells casting interface logic is more intuitive:
now you can select a spell, then a target unit, and then a hex to move.
• Fixed an issue: an enchantment cast on a unit in transport ship is now shown properly on unit when it disembarks.
• Game loading has become faster.
• Great Mages now think 10-15% faster.
• Settlers do not receive experience points any more.
• Fixed an issue when a player could remove a "self-destruct" perk from units summoned by other units.
• Fixed a crash on clicking on a News message about a new unit if the city was destroyed.
• Fixed an issue with the unit's experience when a unit is upgraded twice the same turn.
• Fixed an issue with game camera position at the game start.
• Fixed an issue when unit movement points and "cooldown" timers could be higher than their current maximum.
• Fixed some issues with duplicating perks.
• Fixed a rare crash when a player disbands his unit.
• Fixed bug with flying units teleportation on water hexes

Known issues
• Sometimes you cannot enter text - fixes with restarting game from menu
• Disconnect not always works well

Is anyone else having issues downloading RAGE? Every other game downloads fine but this just sits at 0 unless I restart it, then it only downloaded for a minute and goes back to 0 again.

for AMD? I think so, but dont quote me on it. Do a quick google search

Just did...think I'm gonna hold off on it sadly, the updated drivers helped for some people but others are still reporting issues and apparently the performance is still oddly slow. People with 5850s are having less than stellar performance for a console port...I only have a 5770. Shame.

Dead Rising 2 OTR is just Dead Rising 2 with Frank West as opposed to the Biker guy which name escapes me. Even the story bits are different:



One could just watch YouTube clips of the cutscenes to see the other version, though. OTR is the better game, as it has an "arena mode", in which you can just kill zombies for days.

That's what I've always wanted in the original. I think you just sold me on it.

Mirror's edge is really fun, and my system can actually handle it real well too (~50fps), except

Is the in-application v-sync borked or something? Still getting lots of screen tearing.

You may be able to get a refund if you contact support. Just explain there what you explain here. You will miss getting the collection though unless you buy it again. It might show up as daily.
Click to expand...

I sent the question to support but I'm afraid to buy the collection now and get stuck with paying twice for it, especially since it said at checkout that it wouldn't give me an extra copy that I could gift to someone if I don't get the refund.

Thanks though :)

It lost a community vote so it will definitely show up as a Flash or Daily deal, Community votes are just a way of speeding up games on the Flash/Daily list. Wait for it.

simply put: its an Id game, so by default it has pretty much the most satisfying shooting this gen, and the goddamn best shotgun. It's just really fun to mix up the combat with different weapons, ammo types, throwables and whatnot. Game encourages that.

also it has great AI, and really great physics and enemy animation. They come from everywhere, they'll hang on walls, climb the ceilings and just attack you from many different places. It does a huge difference when comparing it to other shooters.

other than that: I enjoyed both the setting and the story and characters. People differ in these aspects but pretty much no one denies the shooting being super satisfying.

Trying to decide if I should get OiF and Rage. Well, I'll probably get the former, the latter is the true question.

When I got the DLCs, Steam automatically installed the DLC onto New Vegas.
