Damn CS ticket is easy. I just made a server myself, de_dust (though any de will do) added easy bots and put starting money at 16K. Choose CT, buy an AWP, get to a bomb site and wait for the targets to drop in.

I did the Audiosurf ticket with Vegas. You get random powerups with Vegas and i just waited for a red paint.

 

[Servbot #42]

Hmm, I'd never heard of this Harvest: Massive Encounter.. looks kinda cool.

Anyway, I'd wait for 2 or 3 more days, something else might pop up that you really want, and if you miss Audiosurf for $1.50, you're really not missing much.

Someone here i think said that Harvest: Massive Encounter is pretty damn good, maybe i should pick it up.

Edit: Oh man i just said fuck it and bought Harvest: Massive Encounter, i'll let you know if it's any good if i manage to download it anytime soon.

 

[Stallion Free]

Two questions.

1) Is the Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light DLC worth it?

2) Does Quake 2 work in Win7?

1.) Not really.
2.) Yes, it works just fine.

 

[brotkasten]

Command and Conquer 4 + Sanctum get.

You win this day again, Valve. Let's see your deals tomorrow.

Heard C&C4 is terrible.

 

[iKeepPlaying]

Thanks for the answers.
I guess I'll buy Audiosurf and wait for a Daily Deal on Aquaria. If doesn't happen, I'll just buy Toki Tori and Harvest.

 

[Anticitizen One]

Do all the old Quake games work just fine in windows 7? I remember trying to load a demo for quake and it gave me an error message.

 

[Grimm Fandango]

Are you using the beta client?

Nah it's the regular client. I just downloaded it from the website on 2 separate computers and no luck.

 

[sp3000]

Whatever you want to buy, make sure it's not CNC4. That game is an abomination to the whole series and is like the worst RTS ever.

 

[BY2K]

Heard C&C4 is terrible.

Is it?

 

[1-D_FTW]

Thanks for the answers.

Nimbus will probably be 2.50 when it gets its achievement featured. Awesome game that everyone should at least try the demo of.

And Aquaria is already 75 percent off. It's not going lower.

 

[Darklord]

Command and Conquer 4 + Sanctum get.

You win this day again, Valve. Let's see your deals tomorrow.

And you just lost.

 

[PixyJunket]

Did Steam die? I can't connect to the client at all. MY GAMES.

Website is up and running fine though.

 

[Yaska]

Endless mode in Sanctum multiplayer is challenging, even at casual the games co-op seems to be for 4 players. 2 player is fun and challenging it means. Those damn marshmallows have insane amounts of health!

 

[StuBurns]

Steam's fine for me.

 

[Stallion Free]

They all have work for me on Win 7 64-bit without a single tweak.

 

[XANDER CAGE]

Is it?

Yeah it's really bad.

 

[Nabs]

If you're on Comcast and near the East Coast, I recommend DC (Comcast). Shit has been clutch over the last week (2.3MB/s average).

 

[nexen]

How bad can CnC4 be for $4?

 

[PixyJunket]

Steam's fine for me.

Thanks. I got on after about a dozen relaunches.

Now to spend some more money.

 

[Enco]

Steam has been working perfectly fine for me (save for 5 or so minutes after a new sale starts).

 

[LocoMrPollock]

Is Beep any good? Kind of pricey for an indie game during a steam sale but the videos look nice.

All of you Risen lovers are forgetting my favorite part: the main character is randomly a dead ringer in look and voice for Ewan McGregor.

BEEP is awesome.

 

[Lime]

Just bought the Pendulo Studios pack for 33 euros (which is a bit pricey), because I couldn't resist its amazing visuals thanks to EchosMyron1's screenshots in the high-res thread.

 

[Red]

Are you using the beta client?

Yes ugh that must be it.

Thanks.

 

[Darklord]

If anyone is going to buy a C&C game. Buy C&C3 + Kane's Wrath. Really good games.

 

[XANDER CAGE]

You'll play it, exit out, uninstall it, and it will never leave your library.

 

[Youta Mottenai]

Damn it! Beat Hazard is giving me headaches after 10 minutes even with intensity at 50%. Never had problems with any game before.
Any tips besides the obvious (well lit room, monitor brightness and contrast at confortable levels) besides uninstalling it?

 

[Cindres]

FUUUUUUU.
So i decided to finally pick up GTA IV Complete yesterday, got it installed today, can't get past the initial slideshow of characters after hitting "start" the first time. I feel like i've gone through everything here.

 

[Salsa]

If anyone is going to buy a C&C game. Buy C&C3 + Kane's Wrath. Really good games.

thought about C&C 3 but went with Red Alert 3 instead

 

[TheExodu5]

edit: holy double post, batman

crash to desktop? try and boot it from the actual .exe in the Steam folders rather than through Steam. When I try to launch EFLC from Steam its unstable as hell.

 

[TheExodu5]

All of you Risen lovers are forgetting my favorite part: the main character is randomly a dead ringer in look and voice for Ewan McGregor.

Also, the bandit leader is voiced by Gimly.

I have the exact same problem. No other game has ever done that to me.

Get as far back as possible?

 

[Veitsev]

This was the correct decision.

 

[eemijun]

Dont know if this has been answered, but does anyone know how big the Company of Heroes Complete Pack is, GB wise?

Aww man, I dont feel like reading that many pages. Anyone have the answer?

 

[StuBurns]

It's a little thing, but I like how if you look at people's games list now it doesn't have those free games no one plays.

 

[MushroomSamba]

Should I get in on that Counter Strike deal? If so, which versions?

 

[Starwolf_UK]

Kind of an obvious one but: Windowed mode and/or try to sit further away.

 

[PixyJunket]

This was the correct decision.

I agree. Red Alert has always been cooler than vanilla C&C.

Damage for today: Red Alert 3 + Uprising, Sanctum and AudioSurf for $13.24

 

[BlindCommunication]

Is Rift a one time buy like Guild Wars, or is it a monthly/yearly subscription?

Is DR2 worth it at 20 dolllars?

Is Risen worth it at 10 dollars?

*Shakes the GAF magic 8 ball*

Monthly subscription.

Nope.

And nope.

 

[jim-jam bongs]

What the fuck, Risen is banned in Australia? I had to buy a bunch of Tomb Raider games I'll never play to make myself feel better.

 

[Grimm Fandango]

Whew Steam works again for me.

 

[Veitsev]

Should I get in on that Counter Strike deal? If so, which versions?

Just buy Source for 4.99. Get the package with Garry's Mod if you think you might be into that. Ignore the others.

 

[Sanic]

A lot of people might balk at the price, but I feel Dead Rising 2 is worth $20. Just don't buy a couple of cheaper games that you hype yourself up about for an hour or two and then never play again.

 

[nexen]

Monthly subscription.

Nope.

And nope.

I heartily disagree with the last nope. Risen is a steal at $10. I had so much fun with it.

 

[Snuggles]

A lot of people might balk at the price, but I feel Dead Rising 2 is worth $20. Just don't buy a couple of cheaper games that you hype yourself up about for an hour or two and then never play again.

Yeah, I can see why a price that "high" can turn people off during a sale like this, but I loved the game. I'm in the minority that actually thinks it was an improvement over the first.

 

[nexen]

I wish there were more Eschalon titles because I'm digging Book I something fierce.

 

[Lord British]

Two more questions.

1) Are the Quake 2 expansions worth buying?

2) Why isn't the Lara Croft GoL DLC worth buying?

 

[LocoMrPollock]

A lot of people might balk at the price, but I feel Dead Rising 2 is worth $20. Just don't buy a couple of cheaper games that you hype yourself up about for an hour or two and then never play again.

Good advice.

 

[KorrZ]

Didn't pick up any of the dailies today but clicking on Guardian of Light lead me to purchasing Tomb Raider Anniversary for $2.49! Hope its good!
