    How graphically intensive is Revelations 2012? Would it run on a piece of shit computer?

    Typical answer?

    It's Source Engine, has fairly low system requirements, and doesn't look like it does anything particularly impressive, so it should run on just about anything.

    Actual answer?

    I saw that @SmokeStacks gifted me Revelations 2012. Son of a...I mean, thanks!

    Although, it took me 11 minutes of denial before I came to the acceptance stage. Perhaps this delightful video will give you a taste of my morning:

    Ok. What's the cheapest/best value way to get Bioshock Infinite now? Because I wasn't going to buy it but god damned it looks fantastic.

    GreenMan still has the $14 refund or $15 store credit. No free games, though.

    Since it was being given away with video cards, you could try looking for those codes on ebay. I got a $20 launch copy of Batman AC that way.

    Yeah there's a lot of cheap Bioshocks floating around on the trade and seller markets if you're patient (and verify they have decent feedback). Tomb Raider and Crysis 3 too.

    Summer Sale is coming.

    Do what I'm doing. Work on your backlog, whittle it down, then grab Infinite during the Summer Sale.

    That's my plan too. Infinite's on my must play list, to be sure, but I've got so much other stuff to work on in the meantime. Honestly, the only time I buy games anymore is during sales or from the Humble Bundle.

    Do you think it will go on sale that fast. It seems it is going to be a commercial succes. Sure they could earn more if priced lower, but that doesn't have to be this summer sale.

  • CorpekataCorpekata Registered User regular

    It's a 2k game who are among the most aggressive pricers on the PC digital side. It'll be on sale fast. I'd look at Borderlands 2's sales history to get an idea. I bet 33 percent during summer sale. 50 during winter. If not on Steam, on Greenman, or Gamersgate, or Amazon.

    It probably won't go on deep discount, but I could see something in the neighborhood of 20%-33% off.

    Metal Gear Solid 5 was just confirmed, and appears to be heading for PC. Let's hope they don't cancel it like with Revengeance.

    Edit: May have spoke too soon, the footage was running on PC which the article I read took to mean it was coming there as well, but there's been no announcement as far I can tell.

    I didn't have X-COM already, so I just straight up did the pre-order.

    Actually, technically, I traded a TF2 hat for the game.

    Best Euro Truck Sim 2 price for US players yet... Just to taunt Luchaire I'd expect.

    http://www.greenmangaming.com/s/us/en/pc/games/simulation/euro-truck-simulator-2/

    use 20% off code GMG20-FDSCL-AQQXD

    and it's $16.80

    BTW the game is a lot of fun and addicting but with the niceness of being able to knock out a quick mission in a 20-30 mins which means you can play it without needing large chunks of time. Although you'll probably end up like I did Saturday night staying up till 3am playing it a few times.

    Edit: Oh and the internet radio thing is great. Nothing like listening to good tunes interspersed with some German DJ that I can't understand while driving to Amsterdam to drop off some Heavy Construction materials.
    OK so went ahead and picked up a copy of Euro Truck Sim 2 at the fabulous discount price to give away to you fine folks.

    The Eggscellent! Giveaway
    300px-IE03.png

    Rules:
    Must be an active steam thread and/or PA forums poster to participate.
    To enter PM me a link/story/picture/video that is Trucker/Trucking related.

    Winner will be chosen some way or the other... Thinking I might do a private SteamGifts giveaway with the entries or the best entries depending on how many I get.

    Contest ends sometime this week once I get enough entries.

    Prize will be one Steam key for Euro Truck Simulator 2.

    Come on guys you can give me a couple more entries. Probably will end this tomorrow or Friday.

    Reddit's Steam swap subreddit is a decent area to find stuff if interested. Doesn't move too fast like some sites (steamtrades.com) or too slow like Steam's user forums, and has a handy rep tracking feature.

    Bioshock Infinite is going to be a game that is talked about for an extended amount of time. It's a game that I'd rather experience with everyone else on release, then spoiled later by the internet by accident. I find the game only comparable to Half-Life 2 as far as shooters go, leagues above the majority of other games coming out today.

    I encourage anyone waiting to buy it to pony up whatever amount, because the product is very, very much worth it.

    I would be picking up Bioshock Infinite now if my personal "do I buy a new game?" equation was not against me. The equation being "if X > Y then do not buy" where "X" is time in days before I actually play and or beat the game and "Y" is the amount of days until said game goes on sale.

    Ah, Hydrophobia. I enjoyed the game a lot. And I positively gushed over the water effects. And then it went to absolute, complete shit in the last 10 minutes. 30 seconds after beating it, I hit the uninstall button and cried real tears of joy as it was wiped from my steam folder. :D
