Think i might buy this. Is it safe using cards with Steam? They dont keep any details like on Xbox live? Thanks...

There's more risk putting your card into a machine in town

Dark Messiah is one of them though so perhaps MattU is in luck, unless he already tried it.

Hope this is still up at this price, I missed this thread over the weekend - Be a bit miffed if I've missed it, was playing Episode 2 over the weekend and didnt exactly see any adverts on Steam for it or anything....

It was still on 20 minutes ago, because i just bought it at £3.49

Memphis · 22 Dec 2008 at 15:00

It's currently still at £3.49, but it does say "Weekend Deal" so I wouldn't hang about if you wanted to get it.

matt_fsr · 22 Dec 2008 at 15:05

Grrr, at work and I dont have remote access home - should be back in just under 2 hours, so I'll grab it then - ta for letting me know though. Might be a PC on overnight job, 1Mb/s line. Joy.

Buy it on the steam website? Will appear in your games list when you get home.

Unless Steam is blocked for you.

Downloaded 92% now, not long to go

chrisxuk · 22 Dec 2008 at 15:50

Got it

now to see if its worth my £3.49

chrisxuk · 22 Dec 2008 at 15:59

Doesn't seem to be working

Its fully downloaded and i can launch it, goes through the dev's and then just goes to a black screen with a mouse pointer for ages

Done this on anyone elses?

dirtydog · 22 Dec 2008 at 16:51

^ initial loading time is about six seconds for me, then you get a THQ logo and some advertising logos from nvidia etc. and then a menu screen.

chrisxuk · 22 Dec 2008 at 17:01

Mines messed up, probs my pc isnt good enough. Can get the thq logo but can't see the menu. So i pressed enter and it started a new game ^^ Got past the cutscene at the start fine, then talked to that guy behind the till. Then when i turned around to go out of the building the screen starts flashing with the browny colour of the floor and i can move, just can't see where i'm going
