MR_Candyman Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 hmm...I really want to get Assassin's Creed 2, but does the steam version still have the crummy Activision DRM? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee G. Veteran Posted June 26, 2010 Veteran Share Posted June 26, 2010 One of my friends is royally ****ed. For some reason it wouldn't accept his debit card OR paypal (And he knows for definite they work on other sites) He was there trying to purchase around 8 games for £30? He kept re-trying about 13 times to complete the order in the 15min window he had left but it didn't work Then total went up to £89 - He missed out big time :( Sorry to hear that. I know this isn't anywhere near as bad, but I had the same issue when I tried to buy Mass Effect in January in the Steam sales. Luckily it was heavily reduced the other day so I bought it then. bought dirt 2 for 10 bucks... worth it! Me too, for £7.50. Definitely! I would get the THQ Complete Pack but I already have most of the games. :( Sell the extra copies of the ones you have? :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun N. Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 Still no BFBC2 for the Mac :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sethos Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 Still no BFBC2 for the Mac :( Won't happen any time soon either, this new Mac thing is done by Valve. For BC2 to get support, DICE would need to do the porting and they are already under a lot of pressure with several games being developed and they are already showing that pressure be re-releasing games now, basically ( BC2 / MoH ).

Cupcakes Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 So since I picked up Plants Vs Zombies, it's be awesome mindless fun :D.. I think I already put 8 hours into it o.O Also decided to.. try out Team Fortress 2.. I converted to a console 5 years ago so it's "fun" relearning kb/mouse. By fun I mean I'm ready to punch my monitors ala the dude who had his lvl 80 WoW chars deleted, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
protocol7 Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 Won't happen any time soon either, this new Mac thing is done by Valve.

Even some games that have had Mac versions available before Steam hit the Mac (like Penumbra) still only have the Windows version available. Maybe it's because with SteamPlay you buy once for both platforms and some devs don't like the idea of "giving away" one copy of their game. Even though it was common years ago for PC+Mac games to come on a single hybrid disc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MR_Candyman Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 Fixed and yes, it does. Oh, sorry, thought it was Activision that did the DRM on it, my bad. That sucks it still has it. My net has been better the last few months, but it still ****es me off they would halt my game just because I lose internet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WastedJoker Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 Oh. I saw that. It was ?29 in the current sale. In fact, the only time I saw Assassin's Creed II on Steam was the day the sale began :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Singh400 Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 So since I picked up Plants Vs Zombies, it's be awesome mindless fun :D.. I think I already put 8 hours into it o.O Dude, PvZ is hilarious. I love the little notes you get from the zombies. Really great game, sank many many hours into this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WastedJoker Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 I got a bit bored of PvZ shortly after they introduced the fog element. It's too easy :( It's so easy ti win by: 1. Place flowers which give sunlight on back row. 2. Place walnuts a couple of places back from front row. 3. Place shooters in front of sunlight growers - 2 or 3 rows. 4. Put potato mines behind the walnuts to stop the mowers/pole vaulters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev1n Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 Yeah it's an easy game, but it's never less than awesome fun anyway. Btw, to those who are buying the complete packs and thinking you could give/sell away the games you already own, be warned that in most cases you WON'T be given an extra copy of a game you already own.

Singh400 Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 I am showing alot of restraint. Haven't bought any games off Steam yet, ever. I got Portal for free a few weeks ago, and every night they tempt. So far I have resisted, not sure I can last much longer. Never played any of the Half-Life games, I might cave soon.

Someone stop me! You'd be crazy to not buy any of the packs if you want to try out Half-Life! I actually regret just buying TF2 by itself and not the Orange Box pack which would have been $7 more... Although I already have Portal and I've played the HL games already. Orange Box $20.09 - Includes 5 items: Half-Life 2, Half-Life 2: Episode One, Portal, Half-Life 2: Episode Two, Team Fortress 2 OR Half-Life Complete $26.79 - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MR_Candyman Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 All rubbish today and here I was debating on supreme commander 2, zeno clash, and audio surf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
epk Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 Audiosurf is great, even at full price! for under 2.50$ it's just a must... too bad I have it already :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sethos Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 Audiosurf is / was indeed great, got it a year ago at another Steam sale where it was actually cheaper, surprisingly. But honestly, Beat Hazard is a better musical powered games and that's currently 3,49€, so might as well get that or better yet, get both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
