I LOVED LA Noire. Day one for me.

 

[Palette Swap]

Does anyone know if there's a way to open a PDF through the Steam overlay. Typically, I'd like to shift+tab rather than alt+tab to use The Witcher 1/2 guides.

I wish I could add links to the Steam overlay myself for each game.
That would allow me to have a shortcut/bookmark to the wiki of any given game.

New Shogun DLC incoming? MY VEINS

I like that it takes place in a completely different time period. I was kind of hoping for an expansion that does that, so that DLC has me very curious.

 

[Derrick01]

I'll buy LA Noire when it's down to $5. What I've seen of the game really didn't impress me at all. I just can't get over that silly three-way there-is-one-correct-choice-only system that tells you afterwards how you did. YES, I'm playing a fricking video game. I get it. You don't need to remind me every twenty seconds.

Very smart choice, learn from my and other people's mistakes. The game was awful.

 

[Hawk SE]

Whoa, $5 is wayyyy too harsh. It's not an opus to the caliber of Red Dead Redemption or even Grand Theft Auto IV, but I enjoyed it greatly. I find it's worth around $30 or so. At lowest, $14.99.

Different people have different perceived values for each game. Personally, I won't spend more than $10 on LA Noire. I bought it once for PS3, and I'm in no rush to get it again right away.

Awesome, very well deserved. Their games are actually really enjoyable given how old they look. Although I've only played the trial, I'm considering purchasing it once it's on steam now.

 

[Salsa]

was expecting $5 for EDGE.. too many games, might have to pass for now

Awesome. Good for them. One of the best old school rpgs out there. I may have to DD just to support them.

 

[1-D_FTW]

With the impressions I've read on LA Noir, I think it's a game I'd end up hating. My price point would have to be under 7.50.

Was excited earlier this year when I saw the commercials for the first time, but it seems like it encapsulates all of my gaming pet-peeves.

Wish RDR was coming, but people make it sound like it's an absolute mess on the technical level and a port would probably be very difficult as a result.

 

[StuBurns]

RDR is an incredible game, and it should be on PC.

It's bizarre we have Bully, GTA4 and LA Noire but no RDR.

 

[Lothars]

Very smart choice, learn from my and other people's mistakes. The game was awful.

It wasn`t awful, it`s a really good game that has issues but the issues are not as bad as people say if you are at all interested wait till steam has it for 20 or less.

 

[Piercedveil]

I would play LA Noire if the price was right. I've heard only good things about it.

 

[nexen]

Oh wow. I hope Geneforge follows soon.

 

[BobsRevenge]

I bought Terraria, but how come the single game vs 4-pack times are different? One expires before the other.

Because they're smart. :lol

Fucking Valve man, they'll think of every way to extract money out of you with all manners of schemes, and you'll love them for it each time.

It's devilish. Gabe Newell is perhaps more of a satanic figure than Kotick. Taking all this free time and money from me, and for what? FOR WHAT!?

Not really, development of RDR was a mess, supposedly going back to the code even to port the game would be a nightmare, its roughly patched up.

I still think its coming, though, once they're done with all the DLC on the consoles. GOTY edition with all the content for PC, believe.

Mess or not I can't imagine it'd be that much of an issue given the performance gulf, I imagine most issues could be brute forced at this point.

I didn't know they were still supporting it on console though.

Yeah, they're done with it. As far as I know, there hasn't been any updates, or news about future DLC.

 

[Salsa]

Yeah, they're done with it. As far as I know, there hasn't been any updates, or news about future DLC.

Ive read some stuff on the IGN forums suggesting more DLC once.. but yeah they are most likely done with it. Still believe it'll come.

 

[DTKT]

Yeah, they're done with it. As far as I know, there hasn't been any updates, or news about future DLC.

There is one more free MP DLC pack and then its finished I think.

I doubt we will ever see RDR on PC.

 

[Sutton Dagger]

Are there any issues with the Russian version of the Witcher 2 by any chance?

Wonderful. I do wonder how he is going to price it though, one of his (many) justifications for the $10 iPad port was that it didn't come with a money back guarantee like the PC versions, but obviously there won't be any refunds on Steam either.

It's been $5 on D2D though on sale right?

 

[Dog Problems]

I'm buying LA Noire the day it's released. I fell in love with it from what I played.

Why is Jagged Alliance - Back in Action $79.99USD on the American and Australian Steam stores? Placeholder price?

Also that new Shogun 2 Samurai DLC is cheaper on the Aussie Steam Store (6.99here)

That's the price of the Kalypso pack with JA

 

[Echoplx]

Civ V GOTY in the registry, all DLC included

 

[Card Boy]

Ok that makes sense now, I wanna gonna say. I wonder if it will be Steamworks like Tropico 4?

 

[tm24]

Alright, 4pack for renegade OPs is complete. Thanks Carm and Plasma

[nexen]

Can anyone recommend me some cheap turn-based or low-attention requiring games on Steam? Like Dungeons of Dreadmor or Faerie Solitaire? I'm going to be working late for a bit and these keep me sane.

Star Ruler continues to make me happy by doing updates pretty often:

Fixes:

Second planet granted by "Developed Empire" trait now has regular amounts of HP.
Using modifiers on armor no longer causes the armor to take up space.
Explosion sound would play for multiplayer clients for silent destruction (colony ship, scuttle/retrofit).
Page Up/Down keybinds would not save.
Auto-colonize planet now works for multiplayer clients.
Auto-colonize lists are saved/loaded.
Undock all from the right click menu now properly removes auto-dock orders (unless forced) so ships won't immediately re-dock.
AIs are no longer prevented from expanding when the minimum ship size limit is set higher than their scout blueprint.
Planet rings/moons are saved/loaded and work for multiplayer clients.
Disabled ships are removed from control groups.
Research automation toggle is saved/loaded.

Ships could stop moving altogether for multiplayer clients in high-lag situations.
Ore isn't erroneously shown in mouse overlay for ships with cargo bays.
Multiplayer clients would not always receive blueprints when capturing enemy ships.

Race profiles could not be saved for mods installed in My Games.

Various display glitches related to structure removal and renovation for multiplayer clients.

"Game Lost" message would not show up for multiplayer clients.
Asteroids created by planets being destroyed would not show up for multiplayer clients.
"Continue" main menu option did not work for mods installed in My Games.
AI could not properly cope with high starting technology levels.
Shipyard labor pool scaled asymptotically instead of exponentially, leaving labor severely throttled at high tech.
Changed:
The current value for stats are displayed on the object information window without hovering.
Balanced:
External mounts are now equivalently massive to the hull.
Added:
Complete, official, german translation of the game.

Does anyone else have any opinions on Mata Hari or Ceville?

Poker Night at the Inventory.
Plants Vs Zombies (not turned based but it auto-pauses if you click outside the window)
Jamestown (each level takes a few minutes so you can easily play a level or two and stop)

 

[Sblargh]

Yay! Kalypso sale! Tropico 3 is awesome and just bough Patricians 4. The description seems awesome, does anyone play it?

 

[Forkball]

Brink is $30 at Target for those who didn't buy it during the QuakeCon sale.

And LA Noire to PC? Everyone totally wanted that game over RDR.

[edit] Civ V GotY? The base game is $50 and with all the DLC it's another $50. So are they going to do a $20 base game price drop and have the $50 for the GOTY edition?

PVZ isn't a low attention requiring game.

When played for a long time the music/atmosphere will drive you up the wall and haunt you in your dreams too.
Not a good suggestion (even though it's a good game).

Brink is still not worth it. Horrible horrible horrible.
