The Bard Posted July 1, 2011 Posted July 1, 2011 Oh yeah Phee, dya have the Mad Moxxi DLC by any chance? Been meaning to finish that, but its fucking impossible single playeer.
McPhee Posted July 2, 2011 Author Posted July 2, 2011 Yup. I got all of the expansions and the game for £7.50 off Steam a couple of months back. I bought Borderlands at launch but sold it after a while and I no longer have my saves so a new character is needed sadly. My current one might have an hour or two of game time tops.
Sméagol Posted July 2, 2011 Posted July 2, 2011 Today’s Steam Summer sale deals include Braid for € 2,24, I think I’m getting that one. (Although.. Have to hurry, it only last for 1,5 more hours before the next day starts)
The Bard Posted July 2, 2011 Posted July 2, 2011 Man, I've already picked up Oblivion GOTY edition, just so I could play Shivering Isles etc, and Just Cause 2, which I heard wasn't even that special, but at £3.29 for a game that came out last year, you can't fucking resist!
McPhee Posted July 2, 2011 Author Posted July 2, 2011 Just Cause 2 is ace. Gets boring after a while, but it's fun to just blow shit up
Emasher Posted July 3, 2011 Posted July 3, 2011 Flying is the real enjoyable part of Just Cause 2. Nothing else really stands out that much. The controls are also unresponsive on foot. I'd still recommend it for that price though.
The Bard Posted July 3, 2011 Posted July 3, 2011 As much as I love the Steam sales, it's a bit shit how the servers are too busy to allow installation of the fucking games you've purchased.
Emasher Posted July 3, 2011 Posted July 3, 2011 (edited) They're not bad in North America right now, I've been getting about 2GB/hour downloading Assassin's Creed Brotherhood this afternoon. Edit: Shortly after posting it dropped to 500MB/hour. Edited July 4, 2011 by Emasher
The Bard Posted July 4, 2011 Posted July 4, 2011 Jesus, today's Steam sale haul is fucking ridiculous. Gonna get me Bully, Doom 3, New Vegas and Trine.
Emasher Posted July 4, 2011 Posted July 4, 2011 You can say that again. I might re-buy New Vegas as I never did finish it on the PS3. I assume the PC version has been debugged at this point?
The Bard Posted July 4, 2011 Posted July 4, 2011 It's an Obsidian game; debugging it is like a blind man feeling his way across a minefield.
Emasher Posted July 4, 2011 Posted July 4, 2011 Surely at this point they've got it as bug free as the PS3 version was on day 1 though?
Magnus Posted July 4, 2011 Posted July 4, 2011 It's been patched, at least. The only major problem I had with New Vegas when it was released was that it crashed fairly often, so the game may work fine for you even without any patches. Well, as fine as a Bethesda/Obsidian game ever will, anyway.
Sméagol Posted July 4, 2011 Posted July 4, 2011 Hmm, is Alpha Protocol worth 5 Euros? It got mediocre reviews I believe, but I was looking forward to it before its release, and well, 5 Euros.. I’ll check those reviews again. Interested in Doom 3 as well. Would love to add a multiplayer game though, but I can’t spend the 25 Euros on Homefront now.
Magnus Posted July 4, 2011 Posted July 4, 2011 I've heard some very mixed things about Alpha Protocol. If it's that cheap, I think you should check it out.
Sméagol Posted July 4, 2011 Posted July 4, 2011 I think I’ll pass for now.. The DVD isn’s much more expensive on Amazon, I think I’ll get that one later if I really want it.
McPhee Posted July 5, 2011 Author Posted July 5, 2011 Crap sale today. EDIT: Actually, King Arthur looks like it might be worth a punt. I swear the first time I looked it was about a tenner!
The Bard Posted July 5, 2011 Posted July 5, 2011 Nah man, great sale today, finally got the final part of the STALKER series, been waiting for a price drop on that. Absolutely wonderful series of games, one that's pretty unmatched in atmosphere and ambient design, not to mention one of the most unexpectedly frightening games I've ever played. Wish Civ 5 was a tenner though, would have bought it, never gotten into the Civ games for some reason.
Marcamillian Posted July 5, 2011 Posted July 5, 2011 Bard, I've been looking out for stalker for quite a while. The concept of a shooter where the gun is used more for self defence than shooting bad dudes in the face cause they disagree with you excites me.. a little too much (might be way off base but that's what it is in my head). Never been much of a strategy fan but having spent a few hours watching my brother kick the shit out of Gandhi in Civ5 over the weekend my interest was piqued.
Wesley Posted July 5, 2011 Posted July 5, 2011 Crap sale today. EDIT: Actually, King Arthur looks like it might be worth a punt. I swear the first time I looked it was about a tenner! My friend has that and it sounds hard as nails.
Aimless Posted July 6, 2011 Posted July 6, 2011 If you keep an eye open you're bound to come across a cheaper copy of Civ 5, plus it's a Steamworks title so it doesn't matter where you buy it; I picked it up from Gamersgate for just under £7 the other day. As for STALKER, it's recommended that you download the fan-made Complete mod that adds/fixes all sorts.
Wesley Posted July 6, 2011 Posted July 6, 2011 I just picked up the last two STALKER games. May replay through the original with that mod though.
Daft Posted July 6, 2011 Posted July 6, 2011 Are there any patches (official or unofficial) for Unreal Tournament? To bring it a little up to date? Like that STALKER patch. Definitely in the mood for some old school UT.
Daft Posted July 7, 2011 Posted July 7, 2011 (edited) Can anyone tell me how to exceed the bot limit in the original Unreal Tournament? (Or at least how to get the console working.) I bought it off Steam and I want to try an obscene number of bots. Edit: Done it. Awesome. Edited July 7, 2011 by Daft
