ozgeek Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 I want to buy Company of Heroes.. but how will it be through Steam? Does Steam download it and give me a serial? Will it be dependent on Steam? Oh dear. There were a deal a while back that had ALL CoH games 50% off. I got them all and it's good game. You download steam (a program) and install it then through it's steam store, you can purchase games and they will appear in the My Games tab. Double-click them to download them. when download is finished (the game should say "100% ready" in the column). You can just double-click it agan to start the game. You will need to have Steam open to be able to play the game, which means you do need to have an internet connection. Offline mode don't always works at all. Since you are in Aussieland, what ISP are you with? If Internode, fortunately, EVERY steam server in Australia is unmetered, but a small (free) program is still essential to enforce this since Steam will sometimes contact overseas servers and rape your usage, even if you have it set to only download from whatever you set in the Options. I use Steamwatch which supports GameArena only or Internode servers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmc777 Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 You can't 'gift' them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trag3dy Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 Thanks for the replies. I found this on the Steam forums:Can anyone that has bought a non-Valve game confirm they have CD keys for their games there? That would be perfect. Several games that I have bought that are non-Valve games have their own cd keys. Red Faction Guerilla, and Dawn of War 2, for example have their own. And it's easy enough to find it once you've downloaded the game. The first time (and every time after that) you load the game it will pop up unless you tell it not to. And then you can just right click on the game in Steam and there is a option to view your cd key. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yusuf M.

Unfortunately, you do lose it. The "extra copies" only works for a handful of games (see here). Anyway, the THQ pack is tempting. Too bad I already have/played the good games in the package.

Prosidius Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 Will look something like this: Funny that Fallout 3 has a multiplayer CD key considering the lack multiplayer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrJens Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 I'm now the proud owner of the LucasArts premier pack! My "yet to be played" games collection is close to 50 titles now. I wonder why I buy so many games, and I don't even play them. I hope I'll play some of them once, tho'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metallithrax Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 I just bought Grid, just to make a change from Trackmania. Although I wont be able to play it till I get a new graphics card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prosidius Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 GRID is insanely fun, I just hate how in all the races I did in multiplayer half the players try to play demo derby and Im out sitting for 6 min for the race to finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ash Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 Star Wars: KOTOR for 2.49$ ............ At that price you are obliged to buy it if you don't already have it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smigit Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 Is Left 4 Dead 2 worth the price?(I already have Left 4 Dead) If you like L4D one enough that you could keep playing something that is very similar then yes. I've only played my copy three times so far but the gist I get from my own time with it and from reviews is its a refinement of the original. If you didn't like L4D1 or are sick of it then I wouldn't bother, otherwise give it a go. Personally I'm getting fonder of it. Don't quite love the new setting yet but we'll see. So far the maps have felt a bit too open for my liking but I've only done two and a half campaigns of five. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M/\TT Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 Just picked up the THQ Complete Pack and Star Wars: Knights Of The Old Republic. Good prices, this'll keep me amused over winter! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MightyJordan Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 I did think about getting KOTOR, but I don't think I'll buy it. I didn't really like the Xbox version; also I've played Mass Effect through, so I know what a BioWare RPG is like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sethos Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 So tempting to pick up KOTOR but I'm one of those people over-sensitive to aged games - I hate poor graphics and 10 year old gameplay features. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Spork) Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 i keep looking @ the THQ pack it looks tempting with the lack of releases for the console ( 360 ) for upcoming Christmas i might pick it up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperKid Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 ^ THQ Pack is good, i mean red faction geurrilla game is ?34 alone so your saving money on that game alone anyway, and it includes a bunch of others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
