both Shift 2 and Shogun 2 are cheaper to buy elsewhere, I almost bought Shift 2 until I had a quick google.

Bioshock 2 seriously runs like garbage on my system :S FPS is constantly in the 20s on a 580gtx, 8gb ddr3 1600mhz and an i5 @ 4.5ghz. What the hell is wrong with it? lol

That makes no sense what so ever. Your rig should run that flawlessly. :confused:

You assume incorrectly :/ It warns you that you can't right before purchase.

Yes i just found that out. Balls to that then I only wanted portal 2 and some gifts for my bro.

Found the issue and its a driver conflict with nvidia cards. If you have ambient occlusion set to anything but off, bioshock 2 has a fit and puts the FPS into the teens. Runs fine now though and its not a bad game.

Nothing for me today, already spent £50 so far. So it's nice to have a day of rest.

niroe · 6 Jul 2011 at 07:03

Picked up two of the Stalker games, Clear Sky and Call of Pripyat, Flight Control HD (75p - gave me something to play whilst downloading) also grabbed Terran Conflict - been wanting to play it for a while.

Downloads were pretty slow, only getting 200-300k/s from the Manchester server, hooked up to Berlin and downloaded all 17Gb in just over an hour - not too bad

Anyone reckon will get Dirt 3 in the sale?

I think you might, but you won't see much off it £5 at most.

Shamikebab · 6 Jul 2011 at 08:32

Dirt 3 won't go below £18 I'd say, it's still a pretty new title.

The Asgard · 6 Jul 2011 at 08:34

Just looking at the stalker series. Is Clear skys worth getting or is it full of bugs?

rhysduck · 6 Jul 2011 at 08:38

Had a major panic yesterday after work when I was convinced that I hadn't bought Tropico Gold... I forgot that I had bought it during the day! Seems it hates dual screens in as much as it wont run!

Dark Sun · 6 Jul 2011 at 08:38

Nice sale but probably wont be able to download any games at decent speeds for a while. 16GB Witcher 2 at under 300kb/sec.

Not sure if it helps anyone decide but there it is.

Shamikebab · 6 Jul 2011 at 08:49

I've played Shadow of Chernobyl. I'm looking at Call of Pripyat but I haven't played Clear skies...are they both good? Do I need to play Clear Skies before CoP?

Complete Mod tends to help deal with bugs.

V_R · 6 Jul 2011 at 08:58

Yep the complete mod on all the games is a must IMO.
