Is grid playable with a keyboard? i havnt got a pad yet.

It is playable, but drifting and proper corning becomes more difficult and ameutuer looking than if you use a wheel!

Cripes those are some seriously nice deals

DA:O and Batman:AA are definatly worth it for those on the fence

Is it worth getting GRID or Batman if youve already got it on a console?

Not heard of the others except FC2 which Im sure I got with a GFX card...

Not really to be honest, unless you have a full steering wheel + pedal system for Grid, batman isn't really going to be much different on PC to your console

I dont think GRID is one of those racing games that work well with a wheel as it very arcadey on the PS3 (I have a G25) - just thought it looked damn good on the PC. I guess I only thought of Batman cos of Physx extras

I"m resisting buying that pack as I've bought three packs now and have no time to play them all!

alex24 · 25 Nov 2009 at 22:47

GRID is terrible with a wheel in my experience. I have a DFP. It's best on a 360 controller.

£3.74 is almost worth getting so I don't need to use the DVD to play online.

James1954 · 25 Nov 2009 at 22:49

ahh thanks so much for this ! wanted to play grid for a while but didnt fancy spending over £10 on it

( cheap ass i know ) but can now ! but playing with the 360 controller, do you need a special lead?

tell me about it, ive got all the DoW games on dvd apart from the newest which is like £20 on its own anyway... and also got Stalker and all the company of heroes trilogy on dvd... i think i may just stop buying games outside of steam deals altogether lol.

im trying to resist this pack so much, avoiding the cd-keys every time i clean install and automatic updates through steam is almost worth the £20 quid!

I have a g25 and found GRID quite enjoyable, you just need to spend awhile playing with the settings. Also had it on the xbox and its dire compared to pc

Damn just did a quick check on the steam forums and even if you already own some of the games on the pack you dont get gift/extra copies of them

Only works for some valve games and the borderlands 4 pack.

My temptation would have went up to a definite buy if that was the case.

I've spent ages trying to get the DFP to work. The G25 seems to have more success, I don't know why.

The problem with the wheel is it's not responsive enough, you can't change direction quickly enough (maybe the G25 is better for this), and if you tweak it, it still behaves like a controller joystick compared to a wheel. I can never get as fast as I can with a 360 pad. I think the arcadey fashion which is required of driving (to be fast) does not lend itself to the smooth movements of a wheel.

Already had grid but bought it anyway just to keep in my steam folder

That big games pack is so tempting, Can you imagine how much HD space that would take up!

ps3ud0 · 25 Nov 2009 at 23:04

BTW a stupid question before I start buying - once bought it doesnt matter when you dl it for the first time? Is that the same for recieved gifts? I dont game on my PC that much...

Nope, doesn't matter at all. It'll stay on your account even if you never download it.
