Ok, wings of prey looks amazing, what the catch?
Any opinions about it GAF?
Is it difficult?
Does it have a good singleplayer?
Can I play with my 360 controller?

So far out of all the stuff I've bought this sale, I'm most pleasantly surprised with THIS game.
It gives you chills it's so awesome.

It looks like a pretty competent WW2 sim that's some on the arcade-y side. And according to the Steam manual, yes you can use a gamepad.
I think I might bite. For £3? Sure....

Sounds great.
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
I didnt want to buy anything more today
Sounds good, hopefully it'll sink in better this time around.Petrie said:
Actually plugging my controller in this time around for the summer achievement made the gameplay less frustrating as well. It would be nice to have more pick up and play games in my library.Sysgen said:

So I bought Hot Pursuit. How the hell do you change the settings? The only options in game are resolution, shadow quality, and high-res textures. The game looks awful so there has to be some way to change things.

Oooo...DeusEx get. I haven't played through that game since it came out. Hopefully my nostalgia goggles hold up well.
I bought Deus Ex yesterday.
It was six dollars and change -- which isn't that big of a deal, as I know the game will be worth the price -- but I'm still a bit disappointed that I didn't have the patience to wait for the Daily Deal.
Oh well.
This is what we call a learning experience.

I got the Beat Hazard ticket playing IAYD - Into Ashes from his Like a Phoenix EP.

Less than a minute into the song two bosses show up, just blast the sides off of both of them and then try to survive without dying. The real issue is that not too long after that something even bigger shows up.
Also, I hadn't thought about until after the fact, but if you're a new player (like I was), you could try playing a few songs first to get some cash an unlock the "More Lives" perk.
Shameless: Now am I lame enough to play the game using my own music?;

The first rule of Steam Sales is you don't buy anything that isn't a daily deal until the final day.

Played the first stalker when it was first released and really enjoyed it despite all the problems and my computer not running it well so couldn't help but buy the bundle.

OMG I fucking suck at Frozen Synapse. I can't even clear the first campaign level.
Why do my dudes have shotguns and the other dudes have assault rifles?

Just bought it today but have yet to play it. The Steam forums has a real positive buzz behind it. Apparently the developer is constantly improving on the game.

So Assassins Creed 1 finally downloaded, my god...How am I going to continue to play this series on the 360...
I'm playing on max settings (though for some reason multisampling can't be selected) in 2560x1440 and it looks fucking amazing. Getting between 40-60 FPS. The only issue I have is the frame tearing, I don't want to enable v-sync cause then it locks it at 30fps, maybe I should look into that d3doverrider or whatever everyone talks about, only problem is I'm a PC noob and wouldn't know what to do with it? I have an ATI card if that makes a difference, isn't the d3doverider for Nvidia cards?
I swear there are little touches like the various containers/packs strapped to Altiar's back that move that I didn't notice in the 360 version, really adds to the visual appeal.

I was aware, but thought the rules didn't apply to me. I could have saved $4, which isn't that much money outside of the context of a Steam sale. Within the context of the sale, $4 could be an amazing game.
StuBurns said:
I actually hope Bloodlines drops to $5 just to let the lesson sink in even more.
Today I'm going to get the two S.T.A.L.K.E.R games I don't own and I'm seriously thinking about getting Civ 5. My hesitance with Civ 5 is: by the time I actually get around to playing it, the game could possibly be available for less than $25.

In my opinion, yes. Haven't played those other two but I'm a big fan of Borderlands if that means anything.Unicorn said:
There's a ten hour or something free trial: http://www.guildwars.com/freetrial/
Once you buy it you won't need to download it again, you can just insert the key.
It'll probably be back for $5 ($10 for it plus Vietnam) on the last day, it seems to be on sale every other month anymore.MMaRsu said:And now it's back to 30.. what a waste. I'll buy it for a fiver! I will not buy it for 30
Well, nothing for me again today. Was interested in Guild Wars, but I've got too much of a backlog to consider buying an MMO (though I might bite at Christmas), and I would have gotten Monkey Island if the bundle was $5.
On the bright side, I did finally finish downloading Darksiders, and it runs great on my computer, a 2009 HP Slimline with a Radeon HD 4650. Sure, there's a bit of screen tearing and a few hiccups in framerate, but it confirms my suspicions that my meager computer is basically as powerful as a 360.

Downloaded RadeonPro, but it doesn't seem to be working in Assassins Creed? I've probably set it up wrong because I can't even toggle the fps counter? Should I just get D3doverrider?
