GeForce 540M. On the latest beta drivers.

Trine 2 is running great :\

edit- might have to fiddle around with the settings a bit when i sit down to actually play it... in a few months.

When you get around to playing it, you may want to verify the game cache, that may solve the problem.

 

[sazzy]

Just as well I'm not a betting man. Try verifying the cache.

hmm no change..

also, I can't see my cursor or the title screen lol

 

[Ledsen]

I couldn't get into it after playing for a few hours. It's a shame, it seems like a well done game but I just wasn't having fun. Maybe I'm over that genre.

you cant be over zelda man!

Try using the latest beta drivers (if available) or rolling back a version or two.

Is Shogun 2 Total War worth the 10 bucks?

 

[sazzy]

yeah i;ll do that when i get around to playing it. or maybe it fixes itself by then, who knows.

playing defense grid for now. so goooooood

 

[Aselith]

Who wants a Defense Grid code?

 

[Dimorphic]

Anyone else getting this error when trying to purchase a game from the store?

"An unexpected error has occurred. Your purchase has not been completed."

There is money on the card I'm using and it's been used this morning to buy from Steam.

 

[Addnan]

me!

edit: thank you <3

 

[CassSept]

I hate Steam.

In other news, I bought Trine franchise, Darksiders (maybe it will finally make me buy a new PC) and my own copy of Portal 2. God damn it, that's just the first day.

 

[Amzin]

Any chance you're thinkong of Evochron Mercenary? Admittedly I never played Colony Wars but figure I'll see if this is what you're talking about just in case it's correct

http://store.steampowered.com/app/71000/

haha I have no idea what game he was thinking of, I don't know him, I just saw "like Colony Wars" and my eyes lit up The game you linked is more of a sim like those X games I think? Colony Wars was basically all action and shooting and moving like a space ninja. Thanks for responding, though!

 

[feel]

you cant be over zelda man!

Whoa! What little I played wasn't zelda at all, just some heavenly sword type game where you kills waves and waves of boring enemies by mashing the one or two attack buttons.

 

[Toma]

Reminder for our giveaway thread

You can win games by doing stuff, still 7 hours left until the first contests end.

First contest is playing SpaceChem (even the DEMO), the second one is drawing something.

 

[j0hnny_385]

Bought Trine 2. Yay!

I think this will be my "lightest" Steam Sale yet. Huge backlog and not enough time to play, not to mention X360/PS3, too.

My wishlist is this:

If I get some of that, I'm okay. If not, I'm also okay.

The sale excitement is really gone from me because of the increasing number of IRL duties and and a corresponding huge backlog.

 

[zephervack]

Force unleashed 2 worth it at 5? I insta bought trine franchise hehe

 

[Ledsen]

Well it's a Zelda clone with God of War combat. The beginning is just a linear tutorial. I guess you didn't make it to any of the dungeons or open up more of the world?

 

[Chairmanchuck]

Force Unleashed is 5$ in the US, but 7,50€ in Europe?

....

 

[OniShiro]

Nothing for me so far, but I'll probably get Portal 2 and Trine 2 once I get home in three and a half hours.

 

[spectyre]

Grimrock is amazing. Just buy it you heathens.

Bought. That and Darksiders is it for me today... I think. Damn flash deals. Why am I so weak?

 

[TheLucifer]

Force unleashed 2 worth it at 5? I insta bought trine franchise hehe

I can't imagine you'll find anyone with such little taste here. The Force Unleashed 2 is a terrible game, that manages to be incredibly repetitive in the four hours it lasts. Story is bad, gameplay is bad, level design is some of the worst this generation. It looks nice though, I guess.

Doesn't look like

I liked it on 360 but wasn't expecting anything out of it.

I guess i will just wait until its sub 3$ in the future, thanks

 

[Arksy]

I'm sad there's no achievement hunting for bonuses.

Also, is legend of grimrock any good? Is it a modern take on an old school dungeon crawler or is it a remastered game or what?

 

[Antiwhippy]

Got shogun 2, darksiders and trine 2.

My poor $30 budget.

 

[derExperte]

I'm so happy I switched to nvidia like two years ago. Never had a single driver problem/crash.

Neither did I with my AMD HD6850. And the 4850 before that.

"An unexpected error has occurred. Your purchase has not been completed."

There is money on the card I'm using and it's been used this morning to buy from Steam.

So I have no idea why this is happening. I tried swapping to PayPal and the error still occurs. I'm trying to buy Trine 2 and at this rate I'll miss it. I opened a ticket with Steam support but who knows how long that'll take...

Grimrock is styled after old school dungeon crawlers but it's a brand new game, not a remake.

its surprisingly fun. had to force myself to stop playing the first time i booted it up.

It's a modern take, and it's an amazing game. Loved everything about it except the final boss.

 

[One Foul Note]

How's the first Force Unleashed game? I am sorta tempted at its current price point.

 

[sazzy]

spoilers!

now everything is ruined.

 

[catabarez]

Don't do it! I love the game, but on PC if you have a 5.1 setup music only comes out of the front left speaker in game!

Is this something that occurs with everyone that buys it?

I posted it above, but.. you can join us over in the GAF Sale hunt thread for our own game "achievement" hunting. Not the same size as Valve of course, but we still have 50 games to give away currently.

 

[TheLucifer]

I played it on PS3, it wasn't that bad. It has its flaws, but there also some great moments as well, plus iirc the Steam version has every DLC included, so it's a game that will keep you busy for quite some time.

I'd buy it.

 

[Dunlop]

Finally Darksiders!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I swear I have not been able to get to a PC last 2/3 years every single time it has gone on sale

Now hopefully it doesn't run like ass on my PC

 

[teruterubozu]

Trine 2 still seems pricey at over $3. I'll wait until next year when it's .99

I want Civ V: Gods & Kings to come down to at least $15.

likely will. my exp has been its poorly optimized :\

 

[Omega_Tom_Hanks]

Just busted my steam sale cherry with:

Bit.trip Runner
Pixel Junk Eden
Dark Messiah

Spoiler

And the Force Unleashed 1 and 2. What is wrong with me, is this what steam does to people?

Looking forward to building a back log...

It's ok, everybody in this thread is guilty of the same sins

 

[Dunlop]

Aw well, I'll spend $5 on coffee today so I want be too upset ; )

I just linked my paypal to the account, it will ask my paypal password off of every transaction from now on right?

 

[Resilient]

It's ok, everybody in this thread is guilty of the same sins

Not me, at the price I was tempted but that game is terrible.

 

[Mango Positive]

Trine 2 and that's it for today! Granted, I already have a lot of these games. My backlog is getting ridiculous. Remember folks... if you buy a game you otherwise wouldn't play simply because it's $5, there's still a good chance you will NEVER play it.

 

[Protome]

Edit: another question, could I install Darksiders with the DVD if I already bought and activated Darksiders on Steam, or would it ask me to enter a code? Because 12GB would take at least half a day with my shitty bandwith.

It should work fine that way, I dont recall ever being asked for the code when reinstalling from a disc.

 

[elkayes]

My Haul:

Trine 2
Serious Sam 2 (not second encounter)
Pixel Junk Eden

Right now I kid myself into thinking that will be everything for me.
Having an i3 2x1,4/intel hd 3000 pc helps alot right now.

 

[alba]

Only some light damage over here, bought Trine 2 & Hard Reset. I can't really afford to spend too much but what the hell, saaaales!

 

[MRORANGE]

Would just like to thank xelios for Trine 2

 

[OniShiro]

Not me, at the price I was tempted but that game is terrible.

Not that game, but I'm sure you've bought a terrible game sometime.

 

[HoosTrax]

Brink vs GRAW2 vs Stronghold 3...

Is that supposed to be a troll poll? 2 terrible games and 1 game that is a direct sequel. Out of those 3, GRAW2 is the only one worth playing I guess, but only together with GRAW1.

 

[PaulLFC]

UK-GAF, if anyone was thinking of buying the Pendulo Adventure Pack, you might want to buy the Focus Hit Collection instead which includes a few other games for only £3 more.
