I'd laugh if there was nothing discounted at all xD

[Mr.Big]

DDDDDOUBLE POST.

GTA IV Isn't that bad a game tbh, It's an ok sandbox, and multiplayer is a bit of a laugh sometimes.

[Colonel Mitch]

posted that from my fone on HSDPA and whilst it was posting it switched to EDGE, so it resends the request. looked for a delete option but chalex hasnt given up one :P

[Target]

All GTA have been awesome, although there better on console due to amount of driving required, but seems awesome for £5, although torrent ftw, also you can get all the Company of Heroes for like £12, downloadin demo now

[ez64]

I still prefer vice city & SA the music and general feel is far more fun.

[Mr.Big]

yeah i loved the music in SA and 3

[Target]

LoL music is Vice was pro, Gta 3 woz awesome aswell :D...just been playin Company Of heroes, theres a free demo, mite get it like 7.49 on steam for that and the expansion and then next expansion is like 4.99

[D_K_Head]

grabbed GTA since I like freeroam RPGs with guns, and eyeing up stalker... problem is, I've already played it with... shall we call it the "Mr Big" method?

And to be honest, I really don't want to play it again...

[Target]

LoL, gets cheats, use cheats lol around :D.... also multiplayer is meant to be pretty good, some of the game modes are lol

[VoX]

Ok, who's caved and who's bought what? I know Phant is waiting and praying that MW2 goes on sale on the last day :p.

[Mr.Big]

theres a method called after mee?

[Calneon]

Just bought GTA4, gonna hold on and see what else is on sale before buying anything else.

[Calneon]

New deals up

Serious Sam HD
Football Manager
Need For Speed Shift
Left 4 Dead
ID Super Pack

Nothing that appeals to me except possibly Serious Sam HD.

[VoX]

Have gone for Sniper Elite (£1.70 or something stupid :p) and will probs grab the Eidos collectors pack (All Hitman games, Kayne and Lynch, Tomb Raider, Batman etc etc) for £35

[Vicious Horizon]

Sniper Elite is a cracking game if you're into sniping VoX, a hearty recommend.

[Bloo]

VH recommends it VoX, it's shit. Not sure I'll get any deals here, most of the games I want have yet to come out.

[VoX]

Played it Co-Op ages ago with a mate on PS2, disc was buggered so we could only ever get so far. Done the first few missions, is still fun, although I'm playing it more like a Run n Gun atm :p.

[Vicious Horizon]

Hahaha, you should look on youtube, guy got a between-the-eyes at 1074 meters, full realism or something crazy like that..

[Calneon]

Just watched a video of that kill. So unreal, bullets go way faster than that.

[Vicious Horizon]

For some odd reason, I think it's in slow-motion :p

Unless I'm missing something?

[VoX]

When you get a kill at Uber long range or a headshot you go into slow-mo and follow the bullet along its path.

So if it goes into slow motion you know you've got the kill before the bullet hits?

[D_K_Head]

I had a chance to play with a friend (who I THINK lurks these forums), and wasn't that impressed. Then again, the setting sucks balls, so what do you expect?

As far as shooters go, I want to be given a choice to use whatever tactics I want to... If an assault rifle is more appropriate, i'll pick it up and use it... if I feel like sending body parts across the map, a rocket launcher is always fun... being limited to a sniper rifle just isn't fun when it isn't your personal choice...

Kinda like that, but it works really well, it basically lets you enjoy the awesome moments a bit more :D.

[Vicious Horizon]

AFAIK, you're not only limited to the Sniper. It's just that you'll epically fail without it xD

[Vicious Horizon]

Ooh, that BF2 collection is definately tempting me..

[D_K_Head]

Don't VH... mods don't work for the steam version, and project reality is the only good reason to buy BF2 nowadays...

Just find it in a bargin bin somewhere... it'll probably come with special forces anyway, and Project Reality is a real... experience...

[Vicious Horizon]

Fair point there DK. - That's Steam's main problem, the lack of major modding with ease =/

You sure mods dont work?

You can access the game files fine in %Program Files%/Steam/Steamapps/common/%Game name%

so in theory you should be able to mod there just like normal

[Vicious Horizon]

Aye, but I guess Steam looks for any changes in the .exe and game files, may see Project Reality as a hack - I've heard of people making homebrew mods and forgetting they have them installed and getting VAC bans.. then again, that is all hearsay =/

Im pretty sure BF2 isnt VAC protected.....

[D_K_Head]

automatic patching... PR runs on 1.41, BF2 is at 1.50... they haven't upgraded yet...

[VoX]

PR runs on 1.5, it has for ages........


Why else did you thing 0.86 was released?
