The sequel is supposed to be closer to DOTA. It looked kind of cool, but there are so many DOTA-likes coming out now.

I still feel they may miss the point. You need lots of characters, I can see them thinking something like 10 will be enough.

Do you have the Fallout and Witcher games yet?

 

[Mr Cola]

fallout yes, never played the witcher

 

[Dog Problems]

fallout yes, never played the witcher

Definitely check out both Witcher games. Or, just read up on the first and start with the second.

Witcher, Witcher 2, Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines if you install the patches. I'm not sure what kind of RPGs you like, though.

 

[jim-jam bongs]

The first game is probably the best single character RPG ever made, and takes between 50 and 80 hours to finish the first time.

I hear good things about the 2nd, can one comfortably play the 2nd without the first?

 

[Dog Problems]

Yeah, but make sure to at least read up on what happened in the first. Also, you'd be missing out on importing save data from the first game into the second. Choices you make in the first can alter things in the second game. It's not a big deal to me, personally, but the first game is damn good. Some people prefer to jump to the newest and forget the games before it, which I understand, so I recommended just reading up on the first and starting with the second.

bought thanks for the help guys

Ill do some reading duirng this OMFG 17GB Install D:

 

[twinturbo2]

Since Modern Warfare 3 is coming tomorrow, will there be a sale on earlier Call of Duty games?

Bought it, but it said they had to validate my order or something before I got the key, which could take 8 hours.

 

[MrNyarlathotep]

New Steam feature? I've never seen this before...

 

[Nelo Ice]

Bought it, but it said they had to validate my order or something before I got the key, which could take 8 hours.

Did a quick look up and it did not seem worth the hassle to deal with them so I ordered off d2d and of course I have to wait for a csr to contact me since I couldnt get phone authorization.

I think they have been doing that for some games so that games can be patched with small files instead of giant multi-gigabyte downloads each time around.

A downside is that if it happens to you with a modded game, like with a patch, it may overwrite your modded files.

 

[Joe Molotov]

They've been rolling that out over the past few months.

all have good but short singleplayer, the MP have not changed much since COD4MW1 but get MW1 first and then see if you like it.

Seems strange they would do it for RollerCoaster Tycoon 3, I doubt it will ever get another patch.

Gothic 1 & 2 are the cats pajamas!

I got a copy of Assassins Creed: Revelations from that IGN Prime stuff up. I offered Xelios and Twinduct and they don't want it.

First come first servered i guess. Must register it on Impulse i belive. Will send the code in 1.5hours when i pick up MW3. Don't PM, just quote this post and whoever quoted gets it.

Me?

 

[Ceebs]

Yes, but don't. The first game is fantastic (And I think it's slightly better than the sequel)

The first game really lets you get a feel for the world thanks to it's much slower pace.

 

[Card Boy]

Me?

No worries. I hope you dont mind waiting for an 1.5hours tops? I'm off in 10minutes.

 

[Peff]

Nice, thanks a lot! No problems with waiting. Was that US only though?

Very nice. I was too late like usual.

I'm not sure, it says on the Impulse page US/Canada only. Not sure if its region locked.

damn I missed out :-( I really want Revelations too

fake edit: though if it is US only and Peff isn't US ^_^

 

[snoopeasystreet]

I activated a code and i'm in Ireland. It'll be interesting to see what happens on release day.

 

[Nelo Ice]

Why do I keep falling for the CoD trap every year?! =( First time buying the PC version though and I'll likely double dip on the 360 version eventually.

Steamworks features to be patched into old games? It wouldn't be the first time it's happened recently.

 

[Wichu]

Impulse says BF3 is US/Canada only, yet I registered it on Origin fine (in the UK). Hopefully AC: R will be the same.

 

[Relax.MX]

Where i can cancel the automatic "pay" in IGN Prime?

EDIT: Done

Rochard is coming to Steam next week:

http://www.shacknews.com/article/70978/rochard-landing-on-steam-next-week

Rather than faff around with long and protracted release run-ups, Recoil Games today announced simply that a PC edition of Rochard will be released next week via Steam. The puzzle-platformer was originally released on PlayStation 3 barely a month ago as part of Sony's so-called 'Only On PSN ' promotion.


Rochard stars Jon St. John, the voice of Duke Nukem, as space-miner John Rochard. As if often the case in space, it all goes a little Apollo 13, after space-pirates attack the mine. Luckily, old John boy has a science-powered magical lifting tool and the ability to mess with the gravity, which even the odds a little.

Rochard will land on Steam on November 15, priced at $9.99.

I have an IGN Prime trial, how exactly did you get AC: Revelations?

 

[ArjanN]

But...the first one is better...

I think the Witcher 2 is better in pretty much every way.

 

[coopolon]

I have an IGN Prime trial, how exactly did you get AC: Revelations?

There was a glitch yesterday that allowed anyone with an IGN user account to get the free promo codes for various games that were meant for people who signed up for 2 years of IGN prime.

 

[Nelo Ice]

Links got leaked that were only supposed to be for people who paid for 2 year prime and regular users prime trial or not were able to get BF3, AC Revelations and a some other stuff completely free.

edit:beaten

 

[Wichu]

Too late, there were a limited number of keys available.

There was a bug in IGN's subscription gift system (namely that the system didn't check whether you only just subscribed to Prime, or for that matter, whether you were even subscribed). AC: R and BF3 were supposed to be gifts for $80 2-year subscribers.

EDIT: Double ninja'd.

Shocking. Your opinion is wrong, and you should feel bad.

But this isn't really the thread for that

damn it, how did I miss this?

I'll actually be surprised if the AC:R codes don't get revoked. The BF3 ones are more complicated because IGN would have to tell Impulse which would have to tell Origin.

Just a heads up for anyone who got the IGN prime trial, you can get the Bastion soundtrack for free as a bonus for 1 month of prime and it's an awesome soundtrack.

I doubt they're gonna do anything about it, its their fuck up and like u said its probably not worth the time and resources to revoke it.

 

[Wichu]

I doubt anyone cares, but here's a spreadsheet I made that shows my PC game expenditure so far. I need to stop buying so many games; before this summer, I only had Minecraft, Portal, Terraria and Civ V; now look what's happened

Wasn't sure on whether to include some of the games (such as GTA I/II), seeing as they're now free to download... Technically, they were part of the bundle, so I included them.
For 'normal price', I used the non-bundle price on the Steam store when available (Cthulhu Saves the World and Breath of Death VII are only available as a bundle, so I just split it between them). I've never bought a PC game full-price; saving nearly £400 on total RRP feels good
