Dark Souls is $15 on Amazon right now with an additional $5 credit off select games. Any way to see how long the sale will last?

Also, what are the chances that it goes lower on Steam?

I have an Alan Wake's American Nightmare code that I'll trade for KOTOR2, PM Me

Can't believe I impulse bought that on GG, don't even like the genre D:
 
They did release Crysis 2 Maximum Edition on Steam this year, so I don't think they are completely repulsed by the idea of a Steam release once all DLC is released.

I was pretty shocked that the Mass Effect 2 DLC isn't available via Steam as some bundle. I was willing to double dip if that deluxe edition had more substance to it than just digital extras.


But Crysis is only published by EA. They dont own the studio or the IP.

The problem with ME3 on Steam is that I'm sure it would still need to go through Origin for all the multiplayer stuff. There's probably a lot of backend stuff that is using Origin to handle friends lists and things like that.

Because of that I REALLY doubt we will ever see it on Steam.

This would be perfect since I dont play throwaway multiplayer games.

Yep, I should have linked that, didn't think to in my excitement. I glanced through the Steam forums and found this as well.

Guy wrote a wiki-guide on some of the process for those not familiar with modding. I don't have time to read it all the way through, (about to leave for family christmas plans) but from glancing, it looks like it should be up to snuff. It also includes solutions to common errors with newer video cards and such at the bottom.

After Christmas, time for a re-install and replay.

I want you to make/draw a picture using any program with the following conditions. I want you to choose some character or enemy/NPC.

1) The character/enemy is from a video game
2) The character/enemy is exhibiting some trait people don't normally associate with them.


In other words, I want you to use the Scribblenauts format of adjective/noun in describing your video game character. Be sure to include the adjective and character name in your response.

So for example, you might make compassionate Kratos hugging someone instead of killing them.

This is in the spirit of Scribblenauts Unlimited, a game in which you use words to enact your imagination.

Has there ever been a version of Scribblenauts (original Scribblenauts, Super Scribblenauts, etc.) where you couldn't fly around on NeoGAF? :p Actually I'm not -positive- that you could use the NeoGAF ball for unlimited flying in the first games, but I seem to recall it being that way.

Just checked the DS version, yes there is a NeoGAF ball.
Well, I think that is a good reason anyway.

I seriously thinking about asking for a refund over The Walking Dead, the save system is broken, I tried a lot of fixes searching on google and that's it for me, it seems that the bug is old and Telltale is not releasing any patch, the game is good but this really sucks.

I wonder if some form of Mass Effect 3 goty version will end up on Steam once all of the DLC is out.
The problem with just GOTY Mass Effect 3 is that I believe the multiplayer mode has microtransactions. So it's not just an issue of DLC.

Maybe after EA shuts down the ME3 MP servers. Which actually might not take that long given their track record...

6.50 for a decent game that came out 6 months ago is hardly terrible.
I got it cheaper on GMG.

I think GMG is my go to place for games now. Steam is lagging behind price wise.

If GMG slowed down with their promotions I would still use them. Just don't want them to burn out. I can understand why steam doesn't do the same.

Free games always mean much to me. For example, I could give them away here :p


Be glad you don't live in a country where it's $10.19, like mine.

Sorry was wrong before it's £6.79 which is about 11 dollars.

If we want to talk terrible: fuck Sonic Generations and it's £10 price :( Been a fiver in the last two Steam sales.

I don't see it ever happening unless Origin's popularity begins to wane, with the game being a wholly-EA project as opposed to something like, say, Crysis 3, which is published through EA Partners and will presumably show up eventually a la Crysis 2: ME.

I will trade a copy of Oblivion:GOTY from the Bethesda Gamersgate thing for a copy of KOTOR II.

One western RPG for another. Any takers?

Edit: I can also Future-trade Morrowind for Kotor 1 (but I really want two). That can only happen in January though.

If you've still got Oblivion I'll bite!

Should I get the Half-Life pack or will there be some better kind of Valve pack in a daily deal?

History suggests that the Valve Complete Pack won't be discounted any further.

Edit: Why is Steam Community saying I'm online? Maybe the app is open on my phone.

Woah KOTOR 1 and 2 are 2.49 each....really tempted to get them. I take it they're single player games, but what's the combat like. ...and should I get one over the other or are both good in their own way?
