Broken Sword Triple Pack... does anyone know if the Shadow of the Templars Director's Cut includes the original game? IIRC, they changed the voice acting and art, right?

It is allowed on Steam in Europe but not the US. There are other payment methods that are available in Europe but arent allowed in the US but for those it lists them on Steams payment webpage that they are not allowed, but nothing like that for moneybookers.
I'm just looking for a non-paypal option that doesnt require any of my bank information that allows some friends to send me money so I can gift them uncensored games or games that are much cheaper on US stores.

Yeah, I know that. What I mean is, does the DC version let you turn all the "enhancements" off?

I just tried the Dungeons demo the other day and it was pretty bad. First of all, forget Dungeon Keeper. It's nothing like that. Basically you want to set up a dungeon that makes heroes happy, which in the first level means setting big piles of gold all over the place for them to loot. Then once they have the gold and are full of "soul energy", you beat them unconscious and stick them in a jail cell so you can extract all their soul energy.
But the way you accomplish this is just awful. You can only directly control a single character, so you are personally responsible for attacking every hero. The heroes make a beeline for the exit once they have the gold and if they reach the exit, you lose the gold and the soul energy. And a new hero enters your dungeon literally every minute. It's nonstop tedious micromanagement as you send your character far enough away that the hero will choose gold over attacking you, then send your character running after the hero before he escapes. And you will be doing this literally every minute of the game, in between running all over the map to accomplish other goals.
No. They didn't change that much, though, it's basically the same game. The old art is still there. You get some additional art, however, mostly in the form of character portraits during conversations and of course the new Nico sections. The amount of changed lines is countable on one hand, I believe. I'll leave it to you to find out which, I'm sue there's a list somewhere.Zombie James said:

For anyone buying the Broken Sword games, there's a fan-made sequel to the second game called Broken Sword 2.5. It covers what happens between the second and third games and is pretty damn good for a fan-made game.

Me and a friend of mine are searching a nice online shooter game from steam. We mostly played Halo and recently both upgraded our PCs and got steam. He pointed out Section 8: Prejudice. What do you thing about that? What is the consensus on this game?

I'm going to be spewing if From Dust registers on Steam, it's only $11.95 on GMG. It's the first time I've pre-ordered as well. Oh well at least I get a TF2 hat (I don't play TF2 and have no idea what it does)?

lol. I guessed as much, I meant is it only an aesthetic thing, or do those hats increase stats etc? Hopefully I can trade it for something, though it probably won't be worth anything.

Stallion, LovingSteam, Kirby, does anyone know this? I assume it's available on Google but I'm not sure what to search for. A bunch of people (or one person) bugged LovingSteam about it last time, so I assume those people are all willing to share the link now, right? Right?Gav47 said:

Played a bit of Patricians IV. Exactly what I expected from the game and this is very good. 
A very calm stress-free game about buying low and selling high, acording to reviews there will be some drama and sea fights later on, but anyway, I like just being able to manage my trade ships. When I have a lot of ships and be able to send them everywhere, I think stuff will be really good.
Right now, it is a nice smooth experience.
I am actually a bit weary of when sea battles become a thing, something that kind of turns me off from Europa Universallis 3 is that I can never properly ignore war and just focus on diplomacy and commerce. I hope the battles on this don't distract too much from the commercial-empire building.

I'm now 100% convinced that 3rd parties having their own shit should never happen.
I decided to finally try Ruse and they make you sign in with your ubi account just to play the game, no way past it. 1st and 2nd strike, 1 for making me remember another useless account and 2 for forcing me to use it when I'm playing single player.
3rd strike was when I tried both of my Ubi accounts and neither would work. If they had stuck strictly with Steam I could have been 20 minutes into playing it by now.

Blizzard said:That's presumably what LovingSteam said, but people on GAF hounded him when he didn't share it, if I recall correctly.
At any rate Valve already knows about it and has already posted a series of registry entries that were like STOP LOOKING AT THIS OR ELSE.
Ok so you you understand the logic of why it shouldn't be posted, and you know we have been warned about using it yet you still decide to post it?

I ran into a bit of trouble with Patricians IV and Kalypsos's sign-in thingy too. It would somehow be in the same "space" as the Steam layer which made my computer very confused if I was clicking on something in the screen or on Steam.
Just a bit of unecessary frustration when you not even began to play the game.
Derrick01 said:
Nope. After googling it seems to be a normal issue, its all over the steam forums.
Just crappy porting, no way to edit the ini files etc. To be fair almost every console port has that "circle of defition" around your character where shadows and objects get more detailed as you approach them, but with this game is ridiculous, holy shit. Im planting flowers as i walk.

damn shame too, because the game looks quite gorgeous other than that.
But yeah, kid you not, i walk 5 feet away from a building with balconies and whatnot, and it becomes a flat texture in front of my face.

I don't think it's fair for people to give LovingSteam grief about it until he shared it, and for others to now do the same thing he used to do without sharing.3chopl0x said:
And with Valve already being aware of it I don't see a problem. If they want to block it they'll block it.Also quote this post for another reason
