Steam christmas sale 2010... *twitch*

By all accounts, they add bits of the story that should have been there in the first place... so you'll probably get a bit more playtime out of it.

how many hours extra does it give and how does the story add itself into the main game, is it 'a bit extra at the end' or separate to the main game?

weird it would ban a non existant account.

dont take offense but did you try before you buy and maybe the old serial is in the registry ?

Funny enough, this was kind of the problem, except the other serial in the registry was legit. I bought a copy of one of the expansions not realising it wasn't the original and it didn't like the serial for some reason.

Yes, you can add it to Steam, I run it via Steam on my laptop but its installed with the disc on my desktop.

Ta chrismscotland,

One more question - once the retail copy is activated does it work like a normal steamplay game? Want to make sure I can play it on my PC and my MBP too...

I play FM on my MBP and PC and it's just like any other game on steam once added

I think that once you enter the CD Key into Steam it behaves just like any other game on Steam.

For future reference, googling 'steam retail key' will take you to:

https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=7480-wusf-3601

which shows you a list of all games where the disc based retail copy will activate as a fully fledged Steam purchase.

 

[ps3ud0]

Yeah I found that first, when I went to check the whole steamplay aspect I was at a loss (wasnt sure if the retail activated just the PC component only), so naturally went to the SI forums which just confused the hell out of me (basically they just hate Steam it seems).

Excellent news - glad to see Steamplay is enabled, still trying the demo currently so didnt want to buy it and not love it...

FM games are Steamworks but I believe you can also just install it on the PC without registering it on Steam and just have to play with the DVD inside the drive.

Yeah thats why I wasnt sure if they meant you can add it like a non-Steam game rather than a Steamworks game - never heard of a Steamworks game that doesnt force you to use Steam...

Didn't they once finish the deals on this day though and everyone was expecting more but instead at 6 it was the end and back to normal?

 

[Stewy]

Settlers for a tenner?

Anyone got / played this?

Bumpaddy bump, I wanna know too

 

[Mailman86]

Oh I'm expecting repeats but I'm not bothered if nothing else comes up I like. I've got plenty more stuff to play through now.

 

[Nelly]

At the last minute, bought Mafia II + 2 game packs for £8.13, can't really go wrong at that price.

 

[Mailman86]

As expected.

 

[Scotsmania]
