Well I've officially not purchased a single game from the sale. For my first game off the backlog, Return to Castle Wolfenstein or System Shock 2?

I know I made note of my SS4:AE GFWL key somewhere as I was expecting Capcom to plug the hole that was essentially allowing owners of the Steam version to give away a copy of the game, however I can't for the life of me find the file.

Telltale just tweeted that the Wolf Among Us season finale is coming soon. That means probably next Tuesday.

It's currently in the recap sale at 66% off.

Thanks! I haven't given much thought to #4000 yet, but it'll definitely be Wheelman if
(when)
it returns (assuming it does so in time).

Good choice! I hope it returns, too. I liked it on 360, wouldn't mind playing the PC version.

Also, thanks for Wizardry 6/7!
 
Its not uncompressed videos, they are high quality 1080p vids used in the PS3 version. its NOT a problem. Far too many games give PC gamers the 720p xbox360 compressed to shit videos.

But agree it should come as an option to download the hi-res vids or go with lo res vids.

After playing the game many times, and still wanting to keep it on my hard drive, it does bug me that the vids take up a huge amount of space, guess I can compress them myself...its not like I watch to video again for replays.

with most games, you can just replace the video files with blanks and that'll take care of that issue.

I don't have the game so im unfamiliar with it's file structure but it might be doable.

Also, that feeling when you win M&Ms money, get cheap keys, and then convert it into Broken Age for basically free :p

Ok, let's try this. I've won a couple games so time to give some back. If this works, maybe there's some more coming ;)

That feeling when you have more Steam money than money in your bank account at the end of a sale.

Summer Sales.. I'm doing it wrong.

Impressions from Astebreed. (Based in the introduction stage)
Visuals: The game looks extremely beautiful, performs great and the effects are excellent. I like the art on the story aspects of the game and nice to see some breathing room with a bit of story. You may skip cutscenes if you just wanna play the game. The game has some settings you can tweak at the start of the game. The camera changes didn't bothered me at all which was one of my worries while watching the trailer. Excellent presentation all around.
Control: As soon as you start the game it will make you set the controllers but the default controllers seems to work great as a set up. You have shooting, Melee and Special attack and some of those commands have more things to do. Keep the shooting button pressed you have a homing attack that will take multiple enemies down. Keep your melee attack button pressed and your character will do a different hit attack. Its easy to handle and no thing to complain about it.
Audio: Music is memorable, voice acting is in Japanese with subs to back it up which IMO works excellent for this type of game. SFX are also fitting for the game.
Overall: It seems the Metacritic score was well earned based in that introductory level. The game left me craving for more which I will get back to it pretty much soon after I do some errands. I definitely recommend the game if you are into the genre and it might be also easy to recommend to new people interested in the genre.

Congrats to JaseC for reaching 3k, that's a truly frightening rate of game acquisitions.

And Divinity OS is updating itself, finally. I know where I'm spending the rest of my day :)

How can I compress them myself without messing up the game?

Just google how to compress videos, the game should be fine unless the code is looking for a specfic file on the checksum level.

As long as you use the same encoding profiles as the orginal video, with a lower video bit-rate obviously, dont see any issues occuring.

You can use a free program called mediainfo to find the original encoding parameters for the orginal video.

BTW For mortal kombat 9, I have actually removed the story videos from the game to save space and it runs just fine. Usually unreal engine 3 does not mind.
