Again, if for some reason you don't know much about Batman: AA, you need to buy this game now.
Its Metroid meets Splinter Cell meets Prince of Persia with the godamed Batman
(aaaaand...some DRM, but I never had a problem with it)

Well the gameplay is different enough, I know a few people that prefer the original L4D to L4D2 due to less specials and less spamming of said specials. Plus while they said they're porting the content over to L4D2 who knows when we'll get all the remaining maps.
A fair point yeah, and at this price it's not as if it's a big loss.

I just have to kill one Scrake with a Crossbow? Just one? Me, a level 6 maxed out sharpshooter who completed every single level on the highest difficult being the Crossbower in each stage whose job it was to take on Scrakes and Pounders?

I don't think I can do it. :p

Edit too!: How is Nation Red? I've been looking at it and it seems interesting enough.

Is the GTA IV complete pack recommended at all?

I've already had my fill of IV itself when it first came out, but I've wanted to try the two expansions for a while. Are they better than the standard game, and how do they run on PC? They're not gimped ports are they?

So how exactly do you upload a video?
I have a youtube account but show no way of linking the two. (NVM GOT THIS ONE)
I also have no videos nor am aware of how to record in game?

This whole GTA4 mod thing is confusing me. Can someone try to explain it again?
Some mods currently do not work with the Steam version (since it is fully updated and you need an older version of the game) but some are being updated to work with the newest version. Like this.

I heard GTA4 has issues on the PC?
At release it did due to a number of issues and misperceptions, now it's fine.

Other than the non-discounted DLC stupidity.

It's too bad my girlfriend has Sims 3 and one of the expansions outside of Steam. I wish they'd allow for more games to be activated and/or allow for DLC to work with non-Steam products. :(

There's a way around this.

Origin allows you to redeem keys of EA games even if they've been purchased on another download manager. Just pop the key for your girlfriend's Sims3 in and then buy an expansion from Steam and enter that code into Origin too to tie it all together.

Simples!

How is Killing Floor's single player? I don't need another L4D clone so I'd only be interested in it if the single player was good.

So I cant mix? FUCK THAT EA!

Wanted to get expansions cheap :(


Same here. I wanted to get Generations and Late Night, but I have the disc version already.

Posting =/= Uploading Videos

Go to your profile click, View Videos, and link your youtube account to steam.

If anyone is curious, people on this forum say that Gothic 3 is loads better than Gothic 4. Also, they say that if you want Gothic 4 you should just buy Risen instead if/when it goes up on the daily.

GitarooMan said:
Is Gothic II still worth playing at this point?

Also, does the Gothic III expansion add enough to make it worth it if I already have and have played some of Gothic III?

I also heard that the expansion is terrible because it's made by a different developer.

Currently: No
In the near future: Yes
How near is near future? Is the modding community still active on GTAIV, or have they moved on? Sorry, just unsure, don't have much dough left for the sales, heh.

So has GTAIV been optimized for the PC yet?

How would my setup fare?

AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core 5600+ @ 2.9 GHz
ATI HD Radeon 4670 1GB
4 GB RAM

Guys!

GTA4
King's Bounty Premium/AP and CW

Premium or AP/CW. What say you GAF?

You might as well get the whole pack if you're either getting KB or AP+CW. Seems to cost the same. Though I'd say it's pretty difficult to go back to pure KB if you try out AP first, so you might not play too much of that.

KB's good, they seemed to add some more functions into combat in AP judging by the demo. No clue about CW, but I'd imagine it's at least on par with AP itself.

Whats the FarCry2 drm? Was it removed?

Honestly the African setting is really under-used and I wan't to light me some savanna on fire.
SecuROM and it was removed in a later patch.

Already have Lost Planet 1+2, GTAIV on the 360. Also have Left 4 dead 1+2 and Killing Floor on steam. Jamestown will be around $2-3 during the Winter steam sale so I'll wait on that.

I am considering King's Bounty Platinum edition, never played the series is it beginner friendly?

For now I just bought RUSH for the two tickets and it looks fun as well!

*Edit WOW there was two tickets for RUSH now there is only one WTF!?

I tried adding my youtube account but steam says it can't find any videos. I know they're public and allow embedding, and can also be found when searching my username.

I tried the Atom Zombie Smasher demo, it's interesting, though I felt like I was totally sucking and not doing things the right way, haha.

How's the full game?

Wow I just realized that I actually own Fallout New Vegas, wish I had known that when the DLC was on sale the other day.

The gothic 3 expansion is good, only get 2 if you want to support the devs

vanilla gothic 3 is acceptable too

Decided to get Atom Zombie Smasher. I really want to get Sims 3 but neither my laptop or desktop can run it, I really need to get a new PC :/

So far my only purchases are; Star Wars Battlefront II, SpaceChem, BIT.TRIP BEAT, and Atom Zombie Smasher. Not bad so far.
