Topic: The Unofficial Steam Sales Thread

The sales are up, and KOTOR for $2.50 is tempting.

I will warn against KOTOR because it runs extremely crappy on my computer at least. I know mine isn't the only one; I don't think it likes new hardware. I get massive screen tearing, but with V-sync enabled, sometimes the cutscenes and stuff will crash your game for some reason. Plus, what I did play of it, I found kind of boring.

Yeah those technical issues worried me because Lucasarts titles won't run well on Win 7 :/

Aliens VS Predator seems good too but I have the "classic" version.

It is tempting.

I'll take Ravage's word for it.

$2.50 may be worth the risk though. I paid twice that last Christmas. But if you don't care about not getting your coffee tomorrow morning, go for it!

Well, I didn't think I would like it anyways. I like Star Wars and have heard good things, but I don't like western RPGs. So, I probably won't ever try it if I won't bite for 2.50 lol.

I dont think it will be too hard for Keyboard.

I reckon they will have movement mapped to the arrow keys, with X for run and Z for jump, and any one of those surrounding buttons can be used to jump large gaps.

Also, I'm a bit disappointed with the last few days of the sale. The first 2 saw me buy lots of games, and that dwindled down, but I guess it's just a matter of personal opinion.

Also, on gameplay for AvP(vH) the alien and predator campaigns are nothing special, but the Human campaign almost feels like Deep Space, and multiplayer is good.

Finally its good to see alot of you jump on Monkey Island. It's a great game, nd hopefully you'll all buy the first.

Yeah, I'm just going to use the keyboard... And also already have the Monkey Island games. If you don't have the Monkey Island games, buy it now! Also, buy the Indie Air pack!

I already have two of the indie air pack dogfighter havent played to much of that as yet also have the great Altitude fun multiplayer game i would recommend.

Two super Cheap games, and I can't get either one. I knew I shouldn't have gotten Beat.

Well, now that the sales are almost over (today is the last day for the Give and Get sales), what did u all get?

My loot:
Batman Arkham Asylum- $10.20

And... that was it

Bit.Trip Beat ($5)
Shatter ($5)
Recettear ($5)
A bunch of other games I'll never play. ($0)

Half Life 2 ($0)

I'm hoping to snatch up something good before the sale ends.

Orange Box
Left for Dead 2
2 Indy Pack totaling 10 games

I got Blur and Alien Vs Predator and Dirt 2 all bargins, probs cheaper than a retail game for all 3. Sadly Nyxquest was in a pack of games so passed heard good things about it. So ill either get if its in xmas sales or buy it for Wii.

@Terra GOOD LORD @_@ Start with Team Fortress 2

@Terra: How much for a copy of NyxQuest?

Yeah, I wouldn't mind taking a copy of NyxQuest off your hands. Do you have Monkey Island 2?

@Terra: I was going to tell you I'd trade you Half Life 2 for NyxQuest, I was about to hit Post Reply when I thought: wait a sec.. ohhhh ok.

Hey guys, I've seen some of you talking abour CYRI before, is there a chance can you run it can be wrong? I really want Dirt 2 but it says:

Minimum: AMD Athlon 64 X2, Pentium D 3.0 GHz
You Have: Intel(R) Pentium(R) Dual CPU E2200 @ 2.20GHz

Until yesterday I was sure its calculations were always accurate but a friend told me he could run RE5 after he analyzed his hardware there and it failed.

My loot.
And Yet It Moves
Flight Control (HD)
Gish
Recetter: An Item Shops Tail
Street Fight IV
World of Goo

@rusty I have never had a problem with CYRI, but I wouldn't risk it, seeing as you can lost a bit of money.
