*** Steam Summer Sale - Selection of games upto 85% off ***

[Worthy]

I bought Borderlands. Really enjoying it at the moment, I didn't realise it was quest based. A couple of lads from work have it, it's loads of fun in co-op

Just get Trackmania Nations Forever for free.

I already have. I loved playing sunrise but it doesnt work in windows 7. TM Nations doesnt include the sunrise tracks and cars

I'm presuming that united forever includes cars/tracks from all the series

i purchased the crysis pack and it did not cost that much , has it gone up ?

His prices are higher because he is in the Channel Islands (god knows why, but that's how it is for some reason). It is still £14.99 for the UK. Which is itself not a very good sale price FWIW.

(actually I see some of his prices are the same as I get, but others are higher. Weird.)

Steam gives me two different prices to choose from

^ Are Crysis Warhead and Crysis worth buying for £15?

 

[Cutshaw]

I loved Just Cause 2, but hated Prototype

I loved JC2 and Prototype was one of the most frustrating slogs I've ever had the misfortune to trek through. I did finish it, but it was mostly out of spite.

It's pure rinse and repeat and while JC2 doesn't have a world beating plot, it dances all over Prototype's garbled disaster of a story. Everything that was good about Prototype has been done better before or since and it's flaws are numerous and facepunchingly tedious.

£12.49 is an absurdly high amount to pay for it, especially considering the absolutely brilliant games that have been on sale for less than £2.

^ Are Crysis Warhead and Crysis worth buying for £15?

Without a shadow of doubt. But I think if you go retail they are a bit cheaper.

 

[Speed]

Yeah retail would be cheaper, especially if you go 2nd hand.

Tempted by Crysis, I don't have a cd-rom so steam would be ideal. I got them on Disk but don't know where the disks are and can't install anyway lol. I did enjoy what I played but I can't keep hammering my card lol.

 

[cainer]

looking forward to see whats comming at 6pm

 

[Speed]

Yeah, hopefully in a similar vein as 66% off Borderlands, a popular game discounted hugely.

Is the Crysis Complete Pack worth buying for £15?

crysis pack its well worth that, imo crysis its one of the best FPS out there, i have put like 25-30 hours in crysis and warhead, i love that you can do every part of the game different (what to go gunsblazing and destroy everything in sight ? DO IT, want to use stealth for most of the game and kill them ala mgs ? DO IT, want to sniper every one ? DO IT)

they had TONS of mods and configuration files (if you find that the game in DELTA, hardest difficulty, its too easy, they are cfg that can change that)

i say everyone should play them, i love crysis...

 

[Faruko]

cant wait for new deals...

 

[Amnesia]

Can anyone tell me how big the download is for Borderlands and all three DLC's? It says 7,996.4 meg but im at 8,169 already.
I paused and restarted the computer half way through, after about a gig of download. Is it muffed?

think it was about 11.5gb in total including the 3 dlc's
but the folder itself is only holding 10.4gb

 

[Mahnsikir]

Just bought the 2 good borderlands DLC's (Zombie Island and Secret Armoury) and borderlands is updating 3gig of stuff, so the 8gig mark must be just vanilla and as Amnesia said with his file size the extra 3 gig the DLC's.

Anyhoo my first purchases of the sale (ive been good ) though if Just Cause 2 is there at 6 Ill be getting that as well.

 

[Buckster]

my ISP provider can't be happy - Im up to 70 gig downloads this month and most has been Steam ! lol - especially with likes of Ghost Busters being 11gig

Same. Been after Torchlight, Borderlands, SC:C and JC2 for ages. Obviously grabbed the first two already, so crossing my fingers some some bargain prices of the others. Been a great sale this, could've very easily spent a whole lot more cash if I hadn't limited myself to just certain games at the start.

 

[cainer]

il be taking jc2 also i reckon, just watched a trailer of it and it looks like fun

 

[d3moliti0n]

I would have bought Just Cause 2, but thats not going to happen considering its Windows Vista and 7 compatible only and I'm still using XP.

 

[cainer]

ive just read that JC2 is frame capped at 60
anyone know if theres a way to uncap this?

 

[Buckster]

does that matter ? you'd need a pretty high end machine to be constantly over 60 fps anyway on JC2

I run at 45fps or so and its smooth as silk
