Mass Effect 2 came out before Origin; you don't need Origin but you can register the key if you want. And to my knowledge, all ME DLC is only available through the ing Bioware store. I took a quick look at Origin just in case but it seems that that's still the case.

Just wait for the next sale - with the modding progress slowing down (and with one of the major mods now unavailable) you should just wait for the next sale.

ok thank you
it says something about an ea online account needed but im guessing thats the bioware account and its for cerberus network whatever like the console version

lol at far cry 3 franchise pack being number 8 on steam bestsellers
people suck at math (or just reading the part on the product page where it adds it for you to tell you it is a bad deal)

Thanks, I think I'll do that. Have been in the mood for a good high fantasy game lately...maybe Ill pick up DA:O Ultimate when that pops back up...beat it on console years ago

But there are enough gems in there to make it worthwhile. EDIT: On second thought, I'm not sure I'd want all those games that I'd never play cluttering up my library.

Well there's someone selling the pack in the trading forum for only $20, so I figured I might jump on that. There are some duplicates in there, but I think most of them will be new to me. Out of the entire 69 game lot, I own about 10 of the games and the rest I'm worried will show up in a bundle. But like you said, there are some gems in there. There's a lot of garbage, but the $20 price tag is what's grabbing my attention.

Voted for Quake

Torchlight II is good but if you don't want the top down perspective I hear Divinity II is also a good choice.

I still need to play both of them . Yep in the backlog.

Yeah, I downloaded GFWL on my new pc to play Dead Rising 2 a few days ago. Out of curiosity I checked my downloaded games and remembered that I got AoE III and Deus Ex GOTY for pretty cheap prices. I also have Viva Pinata for some reason.

Divinity looks interesting...will grab that if it goes on sale any further. Thanks!

They also have the THQ collection for $25. Thats a really good deal, ton of good games including Darksiders 1 and 2.

Divinity II - DKS is awesome! A real sleeper title!

For anyone considering DMC3... (For the record, the PC port of DMC4 has always been great.) DMC3+4 bundle $10 on flash sale

I have it both on PS2 and PC. Regarding the PC port...

It seems to run fine on Win7-64bit. The PC port's performance was pretty bad back in the day. I just ran through the first mission and Fraps reported constant 60 FPS on my four year old Phenom II X3 720 BE (@ 3.2 GHz) and GTX 260. Without modding, it is 3:4 with resolutions up to 1600x1200. It looks a bit sharper than the PS2 version (simply due to rendering at higher rez). Graphics and textures look the same as on PS2.

I stronly recommend that you have a DirectInput compatible controller (e.g. RumblePad 2, F310/F510/F710), for this and any other games on PC that predated the Xbox 360. If you do, it will work flawlessly.

You can use an Xinput (360 controller, F310/F510/F710) controller but by default the sticks will be swapped. Simply adding a few lines to the INI fixed that. However LT and RT do not seem to work (not surprising, in Xinput LT & RT are mapped to the positive and negative halves of a single axis -- not separate buttons like in DirectInput. This seems to render LT & RT unusable. I do recall some software for backward compatability for 360 controllers, but I've never tried it. Reportedly you can just map two of your buttons to keyboard keys as a workaround.

I'll bite on Jagged Alliance Crossfire even if its awful. Probably pick up AssCreed 1 and/or 2 if it comes back. Shoulda got it.
I'm probably gonna wait for Far Cry 3 to go a bit cheaper. I can't buy it with a 10-15$ Steam surcharge, knowing well that Uplay copies go frequently for 20$ less. What a bummer. This game SHOULD have cost 10$ since it was an ATI pack in, but due to the existence of UPlay it wasn't.
Probably gonna get Anno 2070 base, even if it is totally and completely wrong on so many different levels. UHG. NO. STOP.
Anybody recommend a different better purchase. I really don't want to support Ubisoft practices. Oh no I just remembered its an online single player game.

I was disappointed last year when I grabbed Divinity II & then realized it had no controller support. Yeah, yeah, some ppl would only play PC games w/ a mouse & keyboard, but the controller is how I prefer to play with rare exception. And since the game was ported to the 360, there's no reason that control option should be absent from the PC version.

I was going to post about this, it's called SAAC and I think it requires you to find a version 1.0 exe of the game and pop it into your game folder along with the app. Sorry if that was already mentioned, I don't have time to read the last 6 pages of the thread right now.

Doesn't help that the community is burned out (That mesh bug really turned off modders to Skyrim). The next DLC better be another Morrowind to bring back the modders...
