i don't understand, you already own the game for pc, why buy another version? if it shows up as an amazon download sale, and on gog and steam, would you buy them all up?

I believe that he could play Crysis 2 Multiplayer without Origin if he had a Steam copy, not positive though.

J guess that means support told you to jump off a bridge?
Sorry man. You saved me from making the same mistake on that one but I found a couple others I borked on so Im right there with ya.

I think this is the 15th vote. At least, I just got credit for 15, and I don't think I have missed any.

I don't like using Origin if I don't have to.

I have Steam on all of the time and have to dig up Origin to play my few games on there.

I won't buy it, not for $12. Were it around $5 then I probably would pick it up just so I could have a Steam copy.

Maybe a disclaimer should be put in the OP about this game. A lot of people seem to be asking about it.


As for Finderkeeper, it seems to be an "interactive story" where you walk around in and hear a narrator tell you a story while you look at pretty scenery. Consensus is its about an hour long.

Things that anger me:

Kotor: Release Date: Nov 19, 2003 $2.49
Morrowind: Release Date: Apr 29, 2002 $11.49

Is Morrowind 5x better or is somebody just 5x more douchie.

So are people voting for witcher 2 to grab witcher 1?

Morrowind has been $5.00, dunno why the hell they feel the need to put everything in the franchise at the same discount %, despite release dates... This sale is pissing me off in that we don't know when the to bite:

Oh! It's a flash deal, 50% is a steal! Gogogogo!

Oh shit... Now it's a daily at 75%... Fml...

you steam.

there are actually some games that translate better on the console mostly due to lack of controller support and would ya rather be hunched over in a chair for 3 hours or veg out on a sofa playing on a 40 inch?

also well sadly game crashes is one of hte main reasons im thinking about getting out of pc gaming next generation. im find the more ports they are doing of these consoles games, they bugger pc aaa gaming tends to be.
im actually going to pass on this upcoming dark souls games for pc because i know it's going to be a vary poor port.

Haha. A few minutes in and Skyrim goes from off the radar to #4. Climb away.

Pretty sure Morrowind used to be pretty cheap. I could be wrong, but it could be that the success of Skyrim is encouraging an artificial premium on the franchise. I want to say I got it for $10 as a standard price years ago, and the lowest I've seen it is $2. But my memory is pretty poor and that was a long, long time ago.

As for which is better, that's a matter of opinion and what you are looking for in an rpg.

I voted witcher 2. Due to the fact i wasn't sure if i wanted it originally. But now i do >.<

I actually just started playing Crysis a few days ago before the sale started. It's been backlogged for awhile. I'm really blown away. It's the first FPS I've played in a long time that doesn't feel like the campaign was an afterthought to the multiplayer.


I'd been on the edge for Rage, but with this popping up screw that, I'm grabbing Crysis 2.

I was looking at the Witcher 2 forum on steam and came across this thread:

I think that we should come up with a law similar to Godwin's Law when people are discussing digital games on the internet. It can go something like: "As on online discussion about a video game grows longer the probability of someone asking if it will activate on Steam approaches 1." We can call it Gaben's Law or Gabewin's Law.

Oh... looks like I'll finally be spending some money today. Can't pass on Crysis 2. Have been waiting a long time to test my Crossfire HD5850 against that baby. Crysis 1 SP blew me away so I'm curious if this one will be just as good. Also, there's the chance that EA will snatch it off steam again so I guess this is the best time to grab it.

Although I suspect that they increased the base price before putting up the sale... I think it was 24 euros... not 35 as it says now... scammers.

Doubting about Dungeon Siege 3 as well but mainly because it also has 1 and 2. Prolly won't ever have time to get to playing it though...

As for the vote... inclined to choose the Witcher 2 because I missed it. But on the other hand I can probably wait for it untill the next sale. Risen 2 looks like fun, I dig that pirate theme. The metascore isn't too good though but I probably shouldn't care too much about that.

Any thoughts?

Meh, great % off on Crisis, but the MSRP kills it... The game is a little over a year old and I assume not that popular. I'm passing on that.

Oh I know, I have 'em both. And you are right on the premium skyrims causing. Still stinks tho. 10 year old games should be less than $10. And on sale for even less. :end rant

I just want to thank the CAGers who posted advice earlier about motion sickness and Skyrim.

After tweaking the graphics settings, FOV, adjusting the camera speed, and putting the game in third person settings, I managed to play Skyrim for a few hurl-free hours. People were stabbed, bodies left stripped of clothes and armor, gold, books and kitchenware were swiped, with no cookies tossed. HUZZAH

(something about Elder Scrolls games brings out my inner klepto)

im still waiting for 75% on witcher. that smy buying price!

at this point think the only newish game i'd buy past 12$ would be street fighter vs tekken and i dont see that on sell at all this summer sell
