The Steam Sales are coming...

I wpuld have bought those, if I didnt beat half of portal 1 on a friends pc, and didnt get to test chamber 12 on the PS3 on portal 2. I am picking up NFS HS, Shattered Horizon, Terrairia, and demolition inc.
 
I grabbed Doom 3 and Resurrection of Evil. Don't like always having to dig out my discs to play that. I've never beaten the game either, so I'm gonna force myself to finish it for once.
 
im too broke to getr anything :( really wanted css and skyrim though :(. May get the witcher in a week or so though as its fairly cheap.

Im gonna have my brother throw $20 on tonight and im getting battlefield BC2 for $10 and somethin else still looking.
Also Try Blacklight retribution on steam, its free and addicting.

Edit, Im thinking of crysis. How well will it run at 1440x900 with the setup below? How about 1080p?

Well I just bought crysis for $10 and battlefield bc2 for $10, got $5 left. Idk If I should save it or buy half life 2 deathmatch. Is it normal for when downloading games, they go back and forth suspending, they wont go both at the same time?
 
Mega angry, bought Crusader Kings 2 the other week for £30 and now it son sale for about £8 :/ sods law. On the other hand i bought all the DLCs for it, the main one giving you the ability to play the muslim countries, praise allah!

No. I normally download one completely and then let the other download while playing the first. Just Alt tab out of the first game and resume it and you can download and play!

Yeah its normal, its down to the server load and since its the sales the load is high. You could try changing the download server to a random country like Malaysia to try and help speed it up or just put up with it.
 
The getting suspended is normal but it switching back and forth and never doing both at the same time is odd.
 
Bought Legend Of Grimrock. I didn't think I'd enjoy this type of game as much as I am. I'm looking forward to the release of the editor.

If anybody is having issues with download speeds, then definitely try changing the download region to one that you wouldn't normally think of using. During the previous summer sale I got much better download speeds by setting the download region to one in eastern Europe (Hungary or Ukraine).

Thanks for the info ill try that if it gets bad :)
 
I'm really considering getting Darksiders. Its only $5 so it wouldn't be that much of a loss if I don't like it.

Has anyone else played it? Is it worth picking up?
 
my friend loves it, but go to amazon and look at the packs on there and steam and there's some good combos with it and a few other game, 1 at least that's like 20 for 4 or 5 games or more, don't remember.
 
I got the Bethesda collection. All those titles for $50! I had them for console but not PC, so now I can throw some more at my new video card.

You might be able to max it out at 720p, and maybe even 1440x900. My G80 could do 25-30FPS max at 1280x720. That was with no AA though. So Id imagine a GTS450 with 1GB of VRAM should fair a bit better than my 320MB G80 did.

Im running dx10, all setting very high, good. 1440x900. Its amazing how good the graphics are. Acouple lag spikes, but pretty smooth. Idk the FPS but probably around 35-40. Im happy with my first build. Im getting a 23in 1080p monitor soon so thats going to change.
