OS Steam and Computer Gaming Thread

Re: OS Steam and Computer Gaming Thread

I definitely recommend using the Xbox 360 pad for Chivalry. If you have a Xbox 360 controller plugged in the game will recognize it automatically. It makes the combat a ton easier to play.

I am getting on now for a few more rounds.

DOWN WITH AGATHAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

A distinction needs to made here even though you did say "plugged in"...

Wired 360 controllers should work fine on a PC without any additional setup - I have one too and it works great. For normal 360 wireless ones though, you need some kind of adapter for the PC to recognize it as a controller. I think this is the one:

MS also makes certain wireless controllers specifically to work with both the 360 and PC, that probably don't need that adapter or come with it included.

I have wireless controller so looks like I have to play the hard way. I'm fairly new to pc gaming also so more complicated controls confuse me lol. But I'll figure it out soon enough.

Just bought F1 2012 and Civ V: Gods and Kings DLC for $32. Hopefully F1 proves to be worth $25.

Hotline Miami is so good. Getting a real Drive vibe from it.

The developers call it out as a frame of reference.

Why doesn't Activision get in on these things proper?

Also does anyone know how these sales work? I know how retail works but I'm not sure on PC. Like greenman selling Dishonored for $22.50 so soon. There's not really any stock to buy? I mean they buy keys but after that...

Re: OS Steam and Computer Gaming Thread

Greenman Gaming sells Steam keys and Capsule keys. Capsule is GMG's digital distribution client. I'm not sure exactly how sales are decided, but I'm sure the developer has some input because for Steam sales in particular, you will always find a few Valve games at 75% off.

Because they're Activision.

STEAM works directly with the Publisher/Developer when coming up with the discount amounts.

Activision doesn't like to do deep discounts the same way Valve does.

Re: OS Steam and Computer Gaming Thread

I know publishers set it but like...how is anyone getting money? Is there a step left out from retail? (Besides the usual $10 less initial price because there's no box/manual/shipping.)

Anyone get Little Inferno?

Only review is Gamesradar and they warn it's full of spoilers and had a look at some gameplay. I was wondering if there was more to it than just burning things.

That's a dime a game. I'd bite but I already own pretty much all of these in cart form.

I am also playing just about every day. Can't wait for the return of the M4 Silencer.

Re: OS Steam and Computer Gaming Thread

I never could get "in to" any of the CS games. I was addicted to the original Team Fortress Classic back on WON.net, for those old enough to remember those days.

Re: OS Steam and Computer Gaming Thread

In my experience, people who get hooked on CS are those who enjoy the full teamwork aspect of it, whether it be on the headset in-game or on teamspeak.

I love when my team works together the entire match to pull out a victory against another solid team.
