[9mak9]

Anybody else having slow download speeds? I'm trying to download Alpha Protocol for like 5 hours and I'm at 11%....its downloading speed keeps varying but its mostly around 100 KB/s...I'm not doing anything else to cause slow speeds but I'm worried my computer/wireless is messed up

Probably sever traffic is high considering a lot of people are finishing up thanksgiving dinner and are unloading their CC on steam.

Is this the combo pack?

I'm not an FPS fan, but I really liked both CoP and SoC. They have some RPG elements which I think turns off some hardcore fps people.

Yeah, Impulse has the combo pack with Shadows of Chernobyl and Call of Pripyat.

I'm pulling down Borderlands off of Steam at 156KB/s

Recettear an Item Shop's Tale for $5, plus several other games, in the Indie Story Pack

Thanks a lot. I missed that it was in the Indie Pack and I have been wanting to get it on sale. Ship it!

 

[RavenSEAL]

I'm waiting up on JC2, CIV IV complete and the aerial indi pack

Come on steam, you can do it!!

Me too lol... in for one! :biggrin:

 

[zinfamous]

LOL, you realize you are talking about COD here right? It took a year for the console version USED to drop $5 and the pc version of MW2 still goes for $60.

It'll happen for their X-Mas sale, 1 day for sure. That would be at least 4-5 weeks from release, right?

probably $25-30.

they do shit like that.

Is Batman an analog controller game? Is this PC version keyboard-friendly?

I guess I never understand what kind of game it was--I always thought fighter/adventure type thing.

 

[Ancalagon44]

My friend has it for PC and he plays it with keyboard, works well I think.

Bought Defense Grid for $2.50, wanted it for a while.

It is a console game but I haven't felt any problems using mouse and keyboard. It's pretty much just a regular fighting game in my opinion. At least I do not consider it to have any more "adventure" aspects than other modern fighting/platform games (in fact, it reminds me a bit of Psychonauts in those respects) but that's probably because Adventure Genre means "I'm selling these fine leather jackets." to me.

 

[you2]

Like Born2bwire; I had no problem using keyboard and mouse. It wasn't perfect but wasn't nearly as bad as I expected; the game itself was a lot of fun 'cept for the stupid game for window crap. If they had left that off I would have nothing to gripe about

 

[dpodblood]

Same here. I played Batman AA with mouse/keyboard and it worked fine.

 

[spacelord]

I am an avid PC FPS mouse / keyboard player, however I enjoy Batman AA on PC with a controller. a Xb360 controller to be exact. Batman AA is sweet.. it oozes style.

Are they announcing the wishlist winners anywhere?

i think gamersgate has JC2 for $10

I highly doubt that will happen. If anything it might be $10 off. no way are they going to drop it to $25-30 for a day.

I'm hoping for something good that I don't already have to go on sale. Nothing has interested me so far.

I agree. The lowest MW2 was on sale for was 10% off, and that was almost a year after release.

 

[tokie]

Today the deals not very good either.

Torchlight $5, I'm in

I'm on the fence about Empire: Total War for $15. I'm sure I'd get my $15 out of it 15x over, not sure how well the game is patched up though.

 

[TheUnk]

Is Torchlight a joke? I mean, it never misses a sale. I can think of many other games that should take that spot. Same with any THQ game.

 

[CPA]

Today the deals not very good either.

Indie Pack is good, again. The Indie Packs are about the only good deals so far.

 

[TheUnk]

I'd really like to see a list of names for the wishlist winners too, and what games they got.. I guess that is too much to ask....

 

[pontifex]

Today the deals not very good either.

agreed

and i got Burnout paradise on a weekly deal for 7.50.

Couple of good deals, but I already have Torchlight, and I own Paradise on PS3. Blur is OK, but I wouldn't spend $14 on it.

Thanks I wouldn't have looked if you didn't mention it. They have Eufloria in there which looks prettied up since I last played the demo some time ago.

Anyone know if you can gift games from within the pack? I already have World of Goo...
