Buy JC2, and then download this. Unlimited, and unbreakable grappling hooks will end up making you forget to even complete missions. You'll be too busy playing around with the games physics.

Is there any way to have multiple weapons mods installed at once? As far as I can tell, you can only have one weapons.bin file, and each mod has a different one.

Tempted to pick up Battlefield 2 for $5. Is it worth it for single player alone? Might try some multiplayer, but as a console-mainly player who is horrible with K/M controls, I know I'll get destroyed.

Anyone up for gifting my Vampire The Masquerade Bloodlines from the US before it is too late. I however do NOT have paypal. I could trade you a game of about €10.- from the EU store (but it probably will be a loss on your end).
Anyway, if despite this someone is willing to gift PM me. My steam id: âklambda

I'm on the fence on this one too, and Magicka.

Magicka is fun, cheap, and a game that will be supported for some time. Plus, they've proven that they can make hilariously ballsy decisions on where they want the franchise to go, i.e. Magicka: Vietnam.

Have you tried Saint's Row 2?

Yes I've tried Saints Row 2 on console, good fun in co-op. Might look into a cheaper PC version for that mod, looks crazy =)

You can free roam all you want in an enormous enviroment but MP has never been a needed or included component in the just cause series.

Ah ok, I have no interest in SP games so I guess I'll just have to skip the Just Cause series.

Actually there's no single player in Battlefield 2. You can play the multiplayer mode against bots though or in co-op with friends, that's the closest thing to "single player" you'll find.

It's an amazing game imho but if you just want SP, you should skip it entirely, there's nothing worth paying for.

I'm a victim of that ridiculous age gate thing, I can't log in that New Vegas DLC page at all. Help?

It's on a game by game basis. I think Batman has it for instance.

Steam is so shit, the download speeds are so erratic, it keeps flying up to about 1mb/s then dropping out completely. My internet is completely fine.

Most of the time the service/servers are fine, but the sale has crippled the servers. Wait it out, or change the download zone.

EDIT: Welp, beaten.

Cheers for the replies, yes I did change my region and it let me get another 20% done, but now that trick isn't working for me it seems. Going to have to wait it out and play some Bad Company 2 on 360 whilst the PC version downloads. Not a knock against Steam really but more of one of my pet peeves with Digital Distribution in general. Luckily there is a pre-purchase feature for Steam so for most day one games it shouldn't be too much of an issue.

About to pull the trigger on Jagged Alliance 2.

Is it as frustrating as people say?
Click to expand...
Is frustrating code word for awesome? Because it's awesome.

Seriously though, I've played through the game several times now and I'm not really sure what there would be to get frustrated about. Maybe combat scenarios that don't go your way, but there's a quick save/load feature that lets you quickly reload whenever you want.

Info about Terraria price increase:

On a seperate note, I wanted to just make an apology about my not being around for the ‘situation’ with pricing on Steam this weekend. I was at Connecticon from Friday to Sunday. As for the issue itself, we did not intend the sale price to be 75% off at any time, so when the situation was noticed, it was corrected. Hence why it so quickly changed to 50% and caused so many so much grief. We’ve received many angry emails for people blaming us personally, and calling us greedy, but that is simply not the case here.

Urgh, how do people get so mad over a couple of dollars? smh
Click to expand...

I think it's more the principle than anything. Because it took them so long to change the price, it seems like they looked at the demand and thought they were selling at too low a price and was leaving money on the table. If they had changed it quickly like the SF4:AE mistake, people wouldn't have said anything.

Ah true, I completely forgot about those.

I think after the holiday sales there were 2 weeks without normal sales, so who knows.
