Between Hamilton and Spacechem which one should I get?

I'd vote Spacechem... unless you get frustrated easily or are dumb.

 

[Grimm Fandango]

I tried the SpaceChem demo and it has hella confusing; didn't seem to do a good job of explaining everything. I'm just worried about that.

 

[ShockingAlberto]

In case anyone's curious, I totally won that Bad Rats bet.

 

[Belfast]

Ugh... so many "kinda want" games, today. But that's just the problem, isn't it? I'd really rather save my money for games I know I want.

Sorry to tell you this, but...

You dumb.

 

[Echoplx]

Wow guys really suck at selling this game, telling people they're dumb isn't the best way to go about it.

 

[Chiaroscuro]

Can someone compare Dreamfall to another game for me? Is it like Myst or what's the equivalent?

No, it is a more traditional point and click game. Like Syberia.

I'm a freaking chemistry major from UIUC >_>;;

How about this: It's awesome. In the ~10 hours I've owned it I've put about 7 hours into it...And I went out to dinner for the other three.

i think they said it's not real chemistry

 

[bonesmccoy]

Broken Sword Triple Pack
Shogun 2 DLC
Star Wars Battlefront 2

$12.49...

I've managed to avoid spending a single red cent, and day 2 is almost finished. Do I wait another day??

I hate Steam sales.

 

[Salsa]

i think they said it's not real chemistry

its more like programming, Toma was right

 

[Schmattakopf]

Is Torchlight worth the $7.50?

It is probably worth that price if you're a fan of the genre, considering most people seem to like it, but I thought it was extraordinarily generic.

 

[SteveWinwood]

i think they said it's not real chemistry

Not even close. I was expecting some sort of refresher on some of my organic chem days... didn't happen. You need zero chemistry knowledge. Also just play around with it and actually read the tutorial windows. You shouldn't be too lost ever if you do those. Yes the difficulty spikes around the third world, but just keep at it and play around. It's awesome and I love it. Totally worth the money. Buy it. Or you're dumb.

 

[LocoMrPollock]

Oops, meant to say thanks to Gloomfire for being awesome and helping me out..heh

Much appreciated man.

 

[Meier]

No, it is a more traditional point and click game. Like Syberia.

Haven't played Syberia either.. looking for a more "classic" comparison. So closer to a Sierra game?

 

[Le-mo]

Is there anyway to change the graphics settings in medal of honor?

In option>video. Honestly it wouldn't make a big difference, though. The game still looks like crap on high settings.

 

[exfixate]

Does anyone know if the performance issues with Stranger's Wrath were sorted out? The price is tempting.

 

[scorpscarx]

The only way to describe Torchlight for me is that it's a magnetic game.

It pulls you back and whenever someone even talks about it, you want to go back and play some more on your character.

I really love Torchlight.

 

[Wallach]

Fucking Steam, how do you decline a Wallet purchase? God damn.

 

[Stallion Free]

How's Alien Breed Impact, kinda tempted to get it because of the ticket. Also, it's been on my wishlist, but I don't recall why.

Anyone play it?

It's like Alien Swarm but far shittier and focused on singleplayer rather than co-op.

If you do buy it, I highly recommend turning of the Ambient Occlusion and Motion Blur as both effects are both incredibly low sample and look like shit.

 

[Gvaz]

Get Torchlight. It's totally worth full price.

Also get Amnesia: The Dark Descent

it's $5 on amazon right now

Haven't played Syberia either.. looking for a more "classic" comparison. So closer to a Sierra game?

Have you played The Dig? Monkey Island? Sam and Max?

 

[Aselith]

Well, just because you're majoring in it doesn't mean you're good at it.

Spoiler

Sir I think you've had enough.

 

[Wallach]

Sir I think you've had enough.

It's the first game I tried to buy in this whole stupid sale! NERD RAGE

 

[Einbroch]

So I'm just now getting into Steam...

Downloading every game under the Free-to-Play tab now! SIMULTANEOUSLY!

 

[Striek]

If I get complaints I'll just put a link in but man this is the coolest thing ever:

*From the site Salsa just posted.

I just purchased JC2 because of this image :|

Edit: 8kb/s DL speed...wtf I want it nowwwwww.

 

[JaseC]

The checkout system seems to overwhelmed from time to time. I've had two purchases via CC instantly declined, only to process just fine with a second attempt a few moments later.

Some of those aren't worth downloading

it doesn't seem to use any anti-aliasing or anisotropic filtering. had to force it through nvidia inspector. but yeah, overall it's a pretty ugly game.

 

[Zzoram]

It is probably worth that price if you're a fan of the genre, considering most people seem to like it, but I thought it was extraordinarily generic.

I didn't like Torchlight and thought it was very overrated, and I like the genre.

 

[Einbroch]

I know, but I just couldn't help myself.

This Steam thing is pretty thrifty nifty.

BUT IT HAS A DOG

sumbody buy me blackops

 

[Echoplx]

Alliance of Valiant Arms installs a rootkit (to stop cheating) so you may want to avoid that.

 

[Gvaz]

sumbody buy me blackops

I'll buy you a bag of horseshit, you might enjoy it more (because the game is worth less than that)

 

[Stallion Free]

Idk, it seems fairly enjoyable to me.

 

[Jzero]

btw i know it's normal for game sizes to change from what is listed in their page but is gary's mod supposed to be 3.44 Gb or is my steam client tripping.

 

[LogicStep]

Some of those aren't worth downloading

Which ones are the good ones of the free to play?

 

[Weenerz]

I know, but I just couldn't help myself.

This Steam thing is pretty thrifty nifty.

Just know that Alliance of Valiant Arms installs a rootkit onto your computer, haven't done much research on it, but when I heard they did that, I decided against trying the game.

 

[(._.)]

juss buy blackops for me plz

 

[Gvaz]

juss buy blackops for me plz

I don't have the money

Did you download custom maps or content from the toolbox? That could inflate it.

 

[Jzero]

i barely bought it right now so nothing new

 

[corrosivefrost]

Ridiculous, I'm already ~$65. smh.

 

[vocab]

Blackops is not worth $40 especially when there are $2 games on steam. I got the game for $15.

I want Frozen synapse, and possibly a deal on Cities on Motion, Risen, Divinity II, and maybe Cargo. I will pick up Eschalon at the end.

 

[Echoplx]

16$ so far, hoping some games I actually want come up soon.

 

[JaseC]

If you don't have a Source Engine game installed (excluding Portal 2 unless Valve simply haven't updated the list) it would have downloaded the Source assets it requires (presumably; I don't own GM).

 

[Weenerz]

Spent more on summer keys than I have on games so far, damn you Valve.
