    I believe he was being sarcastic. :) Besides, we all know the game of the summer, if not the game of year, nay decade, is Infestation : Survivor Stories. :rolleyes:

    I just trawled back around 10 pages. Have posts per page to max, and saw the post I was thinking of earlier. It was saying how 4 is far better than 3.

    The demo should have a benchmark for the game. Run that, or just try the demo, and you'll find out. I'd be surprised if you got more than 10fps with an intel hd 1000. I could be wrong though. Hopefully I am.
    I'll give the demo a go. It might go on sale again another time in the duration. If it doesn't, it isn't like I have a lack of games.

    Nope, the only part that really sucks is the graphics card. I have an i5-2320 @ 3GHz (4 CPUs)
    4 GB RAM

    Damn canyourunit. Right, never going there again.

    I played Civ V for 11 hours on sunday and you have better graphics card than me so I wouldn't worry. Funnily enough systemrequirementslab gives me a pass for Civ V but a fail for Mark of the Ninja. Although Gods & Kings expansion is a fail though.

    So what have we learned tonight?
    Systemsrequirementslab is a pile of shyte.

    What I have learned is that I will not reach level 5 by the 22nd July... Need 100XP which means I need a miracle :mad:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,578 ✭✭✭✭Turtwig


    Miracles occur if you care to call those spasmodic tricks of radiance miracles. :D

    I hope this is wrong! Dead Island: Riptide is ****, and I wasn't impressed by todays daily deals either :/

    It's been common knowledge for a while that the ten games that make up the Summer Getaway trading card set would each be highlighted on the daily deals, with the postcards revealing what's coming the following day. So it's right, even though you're right about Riptide being shit.

    Would that suggest Prison arch. would be a featured deal soon?... I got a trading card for that! If so, I can accept riptide as tomorrows deal.

    You can get 100xp from crafting a badge, just find a game with 6 cards and get 3 to drop then trade or spend around .20cents on the other 3 in the market

    The thing is, I can't get the 6 cards.. I am unable to purchase trading cards or trade cards until the 11th August :(

    How is it if you have no steering wheel controller? I'm thinking of buying it and using the 360 controller for it? I know keyboards are useless for driving games!..
    Voted for Primordia myself. Looks like an interesting one. I'm guess Surgeon sim will win it though.
    I'd recommend Sleeping Dogs. If anyone is thinking about it, it's worth it. I really enjoyed the story, although it was on the short side. I've seen people post about cheap places for it though, so keep an eye out for it. Might save you a few quid.!

    360 controller is great with it imo.

    Also, RCT3 is probably the best buy for me so far. Forgot how awesome it is. Hooked all over again. I recommend that peeps buy it if it comes up in the sale again.

    Just played one quick game of Orcs Must Die 2 ... I am amazed already :eek: .. Definately worth the €3.74 absolute bargain :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 83,715 ✭✭✭✭Overheal


    Orcs Must Die 1 was good but I never finished it so buying 2 seemed silly to me

    Ah heyor, Overheal, you're here long enough to know the craic.

    I suppose they both are probably pretty much the same game anyways... Love the battling system although the sensitivity was quiet high to begin with... That ends my Steam Sale buy's anyways I hope...

    Damage done:

    Counter Strike Collection - €7.49
    Orcs Must Die 2 - €3.74
    MC Pixel - €0.79
    Alan Wake: American Nightmare - €1.39
    CS: GO Operation Pass - €0.79

    Total Damage = €14.20

    Happy out :P

    God Dam It Steam, now i have only 23GB of data left before i hit my download limit, must nurse that for the next 14 days. God Dam Steam!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,120 ✭✭✭✭Potential-Monke


    Anyone reckon Dragon Age: Origins will go cheaper than what it currently is? Very tempted, but played it already on 360 and that's what's stopping me! Have SS2 sitting there waiting for a buddy to be bought with.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,997 ✭✭✭Grimebox


    I wish all this cards nonsense could be disabled for those that aren't interested. It reminds me of when TF2 went crazy about hats

    Unlikely, the deals are generally the lowest it goes.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,137 ✭✭✭✭TheDoc


    Been such a disappointing sale. I typically spend €80-100 bucks per sale, but I havn't been tempted by anything :(

    Usually a flash sale is as good a discount as you're going to get in the sale.

    It's been a quiet one for me too - mostly because there's not much left that I want after previous sales and bundle deals. I got Natural Selection 2, Chivalry, To The Moon and Torchlight II and am still hoping on a Baldur's Gate flash sale.

    For those using CYRI to check requirements maybe try yougamers game-o-meter. I remember with AC2, the first time I tried playing it on my old card it was unplayable. CYRI told me I could play it while yougamers said otherwise.
    Or if you want enter your details manually
