I've got Dawn of War II Gold and The Last Stand DLC pack sitting in my cart. It's not a question of will I buy them, just when. Do I go for it now when they're 33% off, do I wait to see if they go cheaper, or wait to see if there's a Dawn of War bundle that contains the entire series. I understand that since I own Retribution, I've got all I need from a multiplayer standpoint but I wouldn't mind playing through the campaigns. If there's a goal for me for this sale, it's that I walk out of it with the Dawn of War series.
Just force the options you want through whatever options your GPU provides. Through the Nvidia control panel I applied 8x anti-aliasing, triple buffering and vertical sync to Darksiders.

Darksiders seemed easy as pie to run.
1080p, vsync'd seemed perfect with 1 GTX460 1gig.
sucks that there's no other graphic options other than the ability to change resolution and vsync on/off, tho.
well worth $5. i mean ...its FIVE bucks.
there's hamburgers at fast food joints that cost that much.

Frankly speaking, SMB has some weird hitbox and graphics problems. Sometimes I go through wall or saws kill me when I DON'T touch them...or when you stand on a platform that goes below a low ceiling it kills you instead. >_>Jzero15 said:

So I've just traded 3 tickets for Alien Breed 2. Has anyone played it? It's a crappy game or something?

I got BFBC2 off of the sale today, and my download of it has been anything other than pleasant.
It seems Valve's servers are freaking out over the amount of crap people are buying because I'm just my download speed flat lines every 15~ minutes.

Umm...
Are you saying the option simply doesn't work?

Vietnam worth it then? Deciding on either BFBC2 or the complete pack

Dawn of War 2 Gold edition has been on sale for 50 percent off before. This was when the game retailed for $39.99 and the sale price was $19.99. Now DoW2 Gold is $29.99 so 33 percent off is the roughly the same discount. It is possible the game will show up on a daily deal for 50 percent off. How much does 5 dollars matter to you? I bought all DoW2 products at full price and got my moneys worth. 20 dollars for the Gold package is still a good deal even if the price does dip a little lower.

Blood for the blood god!
You twisted my rubber arm, bought.
And I would just like to add that it's less that I wanted to save 5$ and more that I would've liked the WHOLE series in one bundle. I could've gifted away the copy of Retribution to a friend and gotten the rest of the series for myself. As it is, I'll probably buy the earlier games at a later date.

Hmph, so I should probably get around to giving D3D a shot then.

i like Vietnam. i bought it when it was first released and enjoyed it a fair bit. still play it from time to time, but i prefer the regular BC2 gameplay.
Vietnam gets great reviews from game sites as well.
if you really like the multiplayer game play of BC2, i would get the Vietnam addon for sure. you might even end up liking it better than the regular BC2 gameplay.
here's a quick trailer to give you an idea of it.

Yeah. And I don't know if it makes a difference or not, but I always disable v-sync in-game when running D3D. I let that handle it.
D3D also has some issues with DX11. Some games work with it and others not. Booted up Civ V yesterday and had to turn it off in DX 11 mode since it was causing the opening movie to crash.

You still have about a week and a half to do it. Couple of levels a day won't be a problem.

Ha, has anyone bought Garshasp? I didn't even know it was on Steam!

I haven't checked for any cfg's, but does anyone know if I can set the res for Darksiders higher than 1920 x 1200?

You don't need to but you want to. Seriously, play them all.Link Man said:

It isn't awful, and it has a cool style, but I don't think it compares to vanilla. I'd go with just vanilla and wait for a later sale if you get into it and decide you want Vietnam. On the other hand, if you can spare $10 for the pack, it also comes with that SPECACT kit which I think gives you the first major unlock in each class. And that's handy. I don't know why that isn't standard. A medic should be able to give out med kits from the beginning... but anyway.Saren is Bad said:
Edit: Actually I might be wrong about that unlock thing.

Im on the fence about Bad Company 2 and the Half Life boxset for $10 since I already own Orange box on xbox.

Nothing that I think I would play any time soon has been on sale yet, but I did buy a friend a copy of BFBC2. So even with my strict backlog rules gabe still gets my money.

Is the achievement bugged or something? I just went back and A+'d both the light and dark worlds of hell, and I still haven't gotten the achievement. Did they really just make it that hard to get, or is my game bugged? It also doesn't show up for me in the list of achievements on the community page....

You have to get it all under 496 seconds, so better than A+.Campster said:

i grabbed it the other day as soon as i saw it for $2.50.
i enjoy games like God of War/ 3d action, so @ $2.50 i figured that i couldn't go wrong.
pretty ambitious little indie title. its not too bad from what i've seen so far. well worth $2.50 anyway, imo.
and getting the Garshasp achievement today brought me up to my first 3 tickets which i spent on the Homefront DLC.

It's the first 10 minutes of the game. Use a walkthrough if needed.Izayoi said:

Good lord. Why would they make it that difficult? The light and dark world versions of the 4th level need to be beaten at times far faster than A+ is not particularly easy for experienced Meat Boy players, let alone people who might randomly buy the game today to get the achievement.

Buy it. The PC version is great. I played through the whole thing on mouse and keyboard but you can just as easily plug in a controller.

Pretty much. With a walkthrough, you can probably do it much faster. It even has a system that tells you which items are clickable.Izayoi said:
Yup, like the Hoard achievement, it's a total troll.Campster said:
Seeing as people are doing Horde bundles to save 70cents, i thought you might appreciate this.
Super Meat Boy is $6.95 at Greenman Gaming. Greenman Gamings version must register on Steam.
You can use a referal code to get $5 credit back after purchase, but i wont post it since it's against Neogafs TOS rules.
