Yeah, the animations are very tight, and they sync together when it's sword vs sword so that it looks like an actual sword fight with parries, dodges, thrusts, and the like.

It's sad when the game looks less choreographed than the three recent moviess.
Plus all the females in the game have an ass bigger than the death star, so it has that going for it as well.
As someone who's never played Kotor, can someone pleae explain how the combat in the game works? I'll probably end up buying it anyway..
It's actually kind of like an mmo. You click on something to start auto attacking, and you'll have several powers you can queue up. It's a behinds the scene turn based combat though. So think Neverwinter nights, as well. Also, you can pause, and queue up attacks and orders for your team mates.
But the animations make it look a lot cooler than this dude is describing it.
Ok guys, I bought the Witcher yesterday and then found out my little brother had got it also. To try and save bandwidth I just copied his witcher folder from steamapps/common. Now I can't get steam to recognise it at all. It just tries to redownload it and doesnt even sense the folder. Any help?
Think I'd have much trouble playing Jedi Outcast/Academy on a laptop keyboard and touchpad? I finished KOTOR recentley and am still in a Star Wars mood. I'd just buy Outcast then acadmey after I've finished, but it's cheaper to buy the two at once and basically get 3 more star wars games free. I already know Dark Forces and DF2 are fuckawesome so this seems like a good deal.
Jedi Outcast is so-so. Jedi Academy is fun and awesome.
I felt the other way around. Outcast was fun. Academy added in a load of stuff but didn't really tweak or balance any of it properly. Still fun but it felt like more of a mish-mash.

As far as I'm concerned, the series went on a steep downward slope after the first game.
... and if you did, were you as shocked as I was that the game had an unexpectedly heart-wrenching plotline? I don't think I've seen (up to now) a tower defense style game that even tried to add a sentimental aspect to its plot... at first it felt forced, but as it went on I began to find myself sympathizing with the character in question. I finished up the last level, and now I feel a little bummed. lol
Raspberries being among my favorite foods, it wrenched that much harder :P
edit: But yes, that it had an interesting storyline is definitely part of what makes it my favorite tower defense game. Having any storyline at all probably would have put it above most, but one that actually maintained my interest solely through narration was a nice touch.
Ah, I'm glad I'm not alone in that. When we got to the ruins of his homeworld, I could feel the devastation in his voice... I don't know who they got for a voice actor, but for the (rather bizarre) role he was playing he did an intensely good job at it. He made what could've been cheesy and awkward feel pretty deeply emotional just from the intonation of his voice. I was impressed.

When you copy folders between installs steam will go through a download process but it should go waaay faster then downloading it from scratch.

I've said it before but it does remind me a lot of Portal, in that it's a good puzzle game but it's the incidental narrative that helps to make it something more than it would have been. Both games only had one real character, but it was that character that basically gave the whole game its drive outside of the core gameplay.
Both characters were also nutty computers, so there's also that.

Did you try clicking on the backup option on the steam app? Just right click on the witcher and select backup.
It should make a executable which you just click on and it'll install the witcher on the other comp.
L4D2 is 33€ on today's sale. But, isn't the regular discounted Christmas price 33€ too? What's the sale here?
Yeah, that doesn't seem to be a special deal at all. Today's deals don't excite me very much. Maybe I'll pick up Serious Sam HD and gift a few copies to my friends? Meh.
id Super Pack (20 games): $23.79 ($69.99)
L4D2: $33.49 ($49.99)

So, apparently the "regular price" for L4D2 is 37€.
Pretty crappy today only sale. At the very least they could've dropped it down to 29€ or something.
But eh. It's probably the cheapest it's gonna be for some time now, could consider buying it at 33€.
It seems the original Stalker is still $1.99. I thought "today only" deals were, you know, only for that day. Maybe they just haven't updated the price yet.

Good gravy, if I didn't have so many games to play as it was, I would be all over the id Super Pack. Between Torchlight, COD, Machinarium, Serious Sam, and TF2, I'll never get anything done in my life as it is.
Oh Steam, your deals are so crazy that I'm convinced that the CEO of Valve walks around in a plaid suit all day and goes on and on about how CRAZAH he is.
Alright so I just picked up Atari 80 games collection, Lucasarts Classic Adventure Game Collection, Time Gentlemen, Please/Ben There, Dan That, and Serious Sam HD. All for 20 bucks. Yay!

Plus all the females in the game have an ass bigger than the death star, so it has that going for it as well.

That doesn't sound too bad. :P
Two more hours until the next one day deals go up.
I meant the current one.
I just phrased it awkwardly.
Are Jedi outcast, Jedi academy and mysteries of the sith good?
outcast was great, academy improved on it mechanically but I didn't enjoy the storyline as much.
myesteries of the sith was the expansion for the original jedi knight/dark forces game right? Can't remember if I ever played it.
I felt the other way around. Outcast was fun. Academy added in a load of stuff but didn't really tweak or balance any of it properly. Still fun but it felt like more of a mish-mash.

Dark Forces 1 is still the best one.

I MUST HAVE GAMES AT LOW LOW PRICES.
£12.89 is insane.
page isn't loading for me now.
e:Okay, literally the moment I posted this, it loaded.
new sale's good, but not as "omgwtf"-inspiring as the last.
Serious Sam HD ... $9.99
Football Manager 2010 ... $29.99
Need for Speed: Shift ... $37.49
Id super pack ... $23.79

Eye-ing the ID super pack.
I don't know what it was in funny money, but it was $37.49 yesterday, it was 25% instead of 33% off.
I've said it a million times, but NFS: Shift is totally worth that price and people should buy it and race with me.

That ID pack is pretty insane, but I've been there done that for most of those games at this point.
Everything else is a resounding "not for me". At least now maybe GTA IV will finally finish downloading.
Edit: And yeah, GTA IV is still listed as $7.49.
Edit: Haha, Rainbow 6 Vegas 2 is half the price of Vegas 1.
