Steam Summer Sales Thread: remember: you can actually play after buying

I'm not understanding the Mafia II Digital Deluxe version's details. It says:
"Made Man Pack: Free access to in-game downloadable pack that lets players get behind the wheel of two different luxury automobiles modeled after classic cars from the period. In addition, Vito will look the part with two new made man suits, including a vintage tux."
So, you get all the DLC for free? Or should I just get the regular edition.

Haha. I actually thought of you the moment I saw it was on sale.

The best version of the game. And in addition to graphics, UI that others are mentioning, I'm pretty sure you also have better control over your teammates than you did on the 360 version. Although it's been a LONG time since I played it on 360 so I could be remembering that wrong.
Now I have all the ticket prizes for everything I own (or see myself owning), I'm trying to figure out what I might eventually pick up from the stuff still left. X3, Fate of the World, Winter Voices, and Dawn of War II are the ones I'm most likely to buy one day. Which would you say are the best of those DLC?

Looking at some videos (of the game running on highest settings) and the visuals don't look that much different to what I saw on consoles

You do realize that by having more games in a good category than a meh category, your statement is false.Gvaz said:

The difference is 1080p/60fps vs. 720p/sometimes 30fps/sometimes not even close to 30fps.

That's because the UI is designed around kb/m, not controller. And you're aiming at stuff, therefore the console version is ifnerior for lacking kb/m support.

Fuck, I already own everything except for Red Faction and Dirt 3, both of which are way too expensive to even consider. Actually, I don't have Universe Sandbox or Worms... I may have to consider those. Also, I have Splinter Cell Conviction only from the Ubisoft store when it was busted and you could buy it for $1. Maybe I'll buy that to have it on Steam... Mafia II DLC is something to consider, as well, although I still haven't finished the main game.
Woo! The Last Remnant get! 
Even though I shouldn't be spending money haha. Total damage thus far:
SpaceChem -5.09
Atom Zombie Smasher -2.99
The Last Remnant -9.99
TOTAL: 18.07
I doubt I'll be buying anything else as my secondary spending limit was $20 and I highly doubt anything will be on sale for $1.83.

It is much much much much less of an issue in the PC version, but the enemies do scale with your battle rank. I would recommend just playing normally, fighting what you see. Don't grind, but don't worry about avoiding fights.alanias said:
EDIT: One tip, though: fighting enemies that are way above you (battles that start with the morale gauge entirely in the enemy's favor) give you lots of stat boosts with minimal impact on your battle rank, so if you did want to grind, that's how you'd want to do it.

No gamepad support, the inventory is terrible, threre are loads of bad textures, but it's still undeniably better than the 360 version.
as usual
Damn, wish there was more for me to buy today.
TLR is gonna take forever @ 12gbs. Oh well, I'd probably just be playing Terraria either way.
I was saying they were good games, not good deals.QuantumBro said:
DKS is a good game but should be $10, and has been close to $10 before instead of $20.
Dirt 3 is a good game but $34 is expensive for impulse buying. Dunno if theres a demo.
Conviction is a bad game but could be persuaded to an impulse buy @ $5 not $8
Fallout 3 is inferior to NV, especially at $10 when NV was on sale for $11 just a week or two ago on D2D.
RF:A is awful if you were expecting Red Faction Guerrilla, and for $34 No way.
Worms reloaded is the poor man's version of Worms Armageddon.
I've played all of these at least about 5 hours, though some I've played at a friend's place instead of at home, and some I've completed fully.shintoki said:
holding shift to walk is retarded, and running all the time is equally off putting. third person action games are not better with m/kb because of their binary, unintuitive walk/run system. Play Uncharted 2 for reference. The Witcher 2 was much better with the controller too.Gvaz said:
In The Last Remnant, instead of controlling individual characters in battle, you control unions (parties) of several characters at once. It's kind of hard to explain, but the battles are very large-scale and no it isn't really like anything else out there, and no it isn't like Grandia's at all.Lanbeast said:

Aeana said:
To add to Aeana's post: there are specific enemies later in the game (optional dungeons) that give more stat boosts than other enemies as well. If you do end up wanting to grind you're better off waiting as long as possible to maximize the number of stat gains you can fit into a given battle rank.
This is only if you're REALLY interested in min-maxing however, as the game is certainly completable without going to crazy lengths avoiding fights.
