Tempted by Dirt 3 but I can see this being allot cheaper not too far down the road, If I remember correctly they were almost giving Dirt 2 away at one point!

Getting really slow downloads though, using the UK Manchester server. Is anyone getting fast speeds from other servers? I tried a few and all were fairly slow. 200-300KB/s but my connection is capable of 2MB/s

Steam is absolutely useless at times like these for most users (not that it's ever great with download speeds). Some people seem to get decent speeds regardless of sales but I'm currently downloading Day of Defeat: Source at a whooping 900 bytes per second, that's less than 1KB/s with my 100MB/10MB connection. Switching to yet another server might get it up to 100KB/s, or I might lose the download speed entirely. On some servers/locations I'm even unable to start games because starting a game establishes a quick connection to Steam servers.

I'm tempted by the Fallout 3 goty. It will only be to play the one remaining DLC that I haven't yet tried, Mothership Zeta. Unfortunately as my main game is retail it means paying the near £7 for this expansion. Is it worth it?

I have just finished playign the mod Mothership Zeta crew which expands Mothership Zeta so that the story continues in to an epic story with some great moments, you control the sapceship and create your own faction with crew and everything. Added around 15 hours of gameplay, it was immense!

Anyone recommend The Last Remnant?

Are you able to just buy that? I only have the option to buy the Square pack :confused:

Bought splinter cell conviction and universe sandbox.

Tempted by Mafia II, but have it on PS3 and hardly played it.

Damn, I was hoping wouldn't throw a spanner in the works.

I'll check out some more videos, then I'll see.

I've only got FO3 normal, not the dlc. Bought it on steam ages ago but I can't actually buy the DLC separate on steam -.- Looks like I'll have to buy the game again if I want to actually play any DLC, which is poor tbh.

So far today, Mafia 2 bought. None of the DLC though

You buy the Fallout3 DLC on Games For Windows Marketplace & it will work with the Steam version but its cheaper to buy the GOTY PC-DVD online for around a tenner which comes with all the DLC (which is all pretty good & much better than FNV).

But a tenner is more than £6.79?

Is fallout 3 any good? Ive never really played RPG games but I really liked Mass effect a lot, one of the best games ive ever played.

How does fallout 3 compare to it?

Fallout3 IMO is much better than Mass Effect 1 or 2 so if you liked that you will love Fallout3 & its a massive world with a lot of locations & sub missions. Months of game content to get through most of it is very good!

Tombo · 8 Jul 2011 at 20:58

Or just buy the GOTY on steam for less.

I loaded up quake earlier as I bought the franchise pack, wish that one had stayed in my memory.

They'll get playable soon though, downloading II now!

Fallout 3 has nothing in-common with Mass Effect series? :confused:
