Steam Summer Sales 2014 |OT2| The valiant never taste of death but once

I don't really need a tag, but I figured I'd get one to make people jealous. Is it working?
Was thinking of partaking in some Metal Gear Rising: Revenenengeance but through the Steam forum it seems like the PC version is a half finished buggy mess, and I don't fancy shelling out a tenner just to find the ability to play the game is reduced to a crap shoot.

And New Vegas UE isn't that much of a discount. A shame all round, really.


What gives you the impression it's a buggy mess? I recall only running into one minor glitch up early in the game (the first ray fight) and...that was it. It is unfortunately capped at 1080p and 60fps, but runs well. My brother played and beat through it on an older i5 and a 9800GTX and had no complaints, though he did have to turn down the slicing debris during the last fight to get back up to 60 FPS and make it winnable, heh.

And the most you can really hope for New Vegas to be discounted is down to around $4.38 through Nuuvem, where you might run into region locking. I am biased, but I would say the $2.41 extra is worth it.

Game ran fine for me at launch. I would hardly consider it a 'buggy mess'.

Okay so now i'm considering both Fallout 3 GOTY (since i just found out it's also on sale) and New Vegas Ultimate...

GAF, please convince me that Fallout 3 is inferior and outdated so i don't have to waste more money. Apparently traversing the subways is just horrible, right? Right? Yeah? Not worth it right?

Hell no, Fallout 3 is no more outdated than New Vegas. Almost everything is the same except the location and a few extra things vegas added like weapon mods. I personally prefer the world of fallout 3 and it's worth buying both for their current prices considering they each have 100+ hours of content.


I just had a look in the steam forum, there's a step by step tutorial.

Damn, my girlfriend is using these STEAM sales to gift me the most random shit. I got the Truck Simulator Pack + Dino Horde + Farming Simulator offered to me so far.

I need to retaliate, any of you know some shitty/ridiculous games I could gift her?

Offer Dino Horde right back. It's seriously the worst game I've ever tried to play.

Bad Rats and (as I've recently learned) Revelations 2012.

Hmmmm, maybe it's just me seeing the "vocal minority" on the Steam forums who are kicking up a fuss whereas 99% of users have no issies and don't say anything as a result.

Yeah, I've kinda resigned my self to either getting it now or now at all.

Too many games, so little time to play them...

May sound sexist, but that Barbie Game looked "fun" in a GiantBomb QL :D But be warned, this game may actually have coop so it could backfire hard when she asks you to play it with her :D

Yay thanks for the Bad Rats recommendation, I'll gift it to her along with a game in the Putt Putt series.

Considered it before you mentionned it but knowing her that would be the kind of thing that would get me stabbed in my sleep lol.

Woke up. Uninspired flash deals. Team Purple deader than dead. Put sauce on my sandwich that doesn't fit at all. :( But what is this....

While your taste in games is a bit questionable at times your choices when it comes to giveaways and especially the winners is impeccable. :O Much appreciated, downloading now.

Weird, it says I already own New Vegas Ultimate Edition, but in my library it only shows New Vegas vanilla. Oh well, it probably wouldn't be a good idea anyway since I haven't even played New Vegas, and who knows when I'll get around to it.

What's everyone's opinion on Deus Ex: HR Director's Cut? I know it supposedly has better bosses, but that's all I know. It's not even a discount for me since the Director's Cut is always $5 for me. But, it's been a couple of years since I played the original, and I'm early enough in that it would make sense to start over at the beginning, so it might be worth springing for the best version. Or maybe I'll just wait until they drop the base price.

ask somebody to trade you something or wait to get an offer

That didn't work. Trade accepted and it counted the other trades. But it didn't remove Wetflame's from the announcer thing. :/ This is annoying as hell. Why would it continue to stick "TWO NEW OFFERS" when those offers have been declined/not available?
 
guys i bought metro 2033 on the steam sale and im trying to install it Each time i do it says The programme cants start because PhysXLoader.dll is missing

Im not a big PC guy, no idea what this is - not sure why i game i just bought doesnt work when all other games do?

Edit: OK just saw how to do it on youtube

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c8EH6on0m7c

not sure how they expected us to know that?

Install PhysX. http://www.nvidia.com/object/physx-9.13.1220-driver.html

There are older games that require the legacy version: http://www.nvidia.com/object/physx-9.13.0604-legacy-driver.html

edit: Oh you found a solution, nvm.

Hope today doesn't kill my bank account like yesterday. Transistor isn't going to have a big enough discount for me to bite. I'll probably wait until the Winter Sale.
 
Is Deus Ex: Human Revolution worth get it? I loved the first game, despised Invisible War..

Take this with a grain of salt since I liked Borderlands 2 and everyone here seems to hate it, but I really liked HR. It was stylish and allowed me to play exactly how I wanted to. I never beat it since it technically wasn't mine but I really enjoyed the time I spent with it. At that price I'd bite.

Rock of Ages. It's actually a good game, but she will be like "The f*ck is this?!" when she plays it. It's really really weird.

You're allowed to like something other people don't. It doesn't invalidate your opinion. And for the record, as far as I've seen, GAF loves Deus Ex: Human Revolution and for good reason. It's a superb game.
