Flatout UC isn't bad. It has some good variety and if I'm not mistaken the last one made from the original developer. Of Course I am sure most people will pass on it because it used GFWL. Essentially it is just an expanded Flatout game with more content, better graphics, and exactly the same gameplay, besides the new modes like Destruction Derbies.

I've just woke up and I hardly believe what has happened here. I'm resetting this thread right now.

Did you know that Flatout Complete Pack is daily deal on Steam?
Flatout Complete Pack $7.99 (-80%)
Flatout $1.87 (-75%)
Flatout 2 $2.49 (-75%)
Flatout 3: Chaos & Destruction $7.49 (-75%)

Have fun, guys.

I don't recall if I posted that here or on SG, but I certainly hope I didn't start something. And I didn't know it was Fox until I checked my friend's list.

Actually, Tony gave him 200 DLC codes specifically to give away on steamgifts. Unfortunately, the 70 codes or so that are left over will likely go back into the CAG code distributor and be abused by people again.

I know there are all the complaints about being off topic (And I know we are way, way off topic), but honestly every thread gets derailed eventually and a repeatedly throughout the years. There can only be so much talk about the deals and they can be summed up quite quickly.

Flatout are good games. If you love rag-doll physics, variety, and racing then check them out. A lot of Racing games revolve solely around racing while these have a bunch of super fun mini games to break up the monotony of simply racing.

Also you missed Flatout UC for $4.99 (-75%) and as far as I know you should avoid Flatout 3 at all costs. Not made by the same developer and apparently terrible. Of course having a feature from M Night Shamwow is probably going to make your game terrible (I have no idea what Sixense is).

Now back to off topic because that is all that needs to be said about those games. I am all for keeping things on topic, but this thread would die if we never went of topic because there just isn't simply enough to say about deals, which anything that is not a steam deal related it truly off topic in this thread.

You're right, but I just wanted to cut off the offtopic quickly. I like this thread for what it is, but the discussion through last pages went a bit too far and it wasn't nice anymore here.

Ok, I'll help and get back to Steam-related game discussion....so anyone psyched about the potential upcoming Earth's Special Forces 1.3 (mod for Half-Life 1) release!?

I'm actually a bit serious, was really surprised to see there might be an update coming out soon. In preparation for it...anyone know how the hell to fix creating games for any half-life 1/2 mod? Everytime I or any of my friends do it, and try and connect, we are always just given local IPs of the given person we are trying to connect too (and yes, we are making sure not to make lan games ). I really don't wanna go the route of having to have everyone join my VPN (its hard enough explaining to some people WHAT a VPN is much less how to connect to mine). So ya, any ideas out there? And I already insured port forwarding on all pcs in question.

Speaking of past mods, the new Natural Selection II is looking really good.

I bought Flatout UC on steam for $2 like 3 years ago. I still haven't touched it.

On-topic: I hate racing games. Rawr.

And I just won Payday! Yay, happy me.

(I know you people don't care but I'm happy about that one)

We're setting up multiplayer sessions, hosting lots of giveaways, and actually getting to know each other. So let me say this one more time: If you post here relatively regularly and I haven't sent you an invite yet, please PM me and I will set things up. I want as many people in there as we see posting in this thread.

I hate racing games as well. But then I played Driver: SF. It's pretty much the only driving game that I've enjoyed.

I can stand racing games here and there (kind of like my one sports game per console generation rule) and any rally racing, which there are not enough of. Oddly enough I enjoy any and all types of racing games but Flatout is great just because you could never race and solely do the mini games, which are awesome, although that would get incredibly boring after awhile.

Of course if you are solely a PC gamer and have an avid hatred of controllers I can entirely understand disliking racing games... or sports games... or third person games.... or some platformers... or some RPGs... or twin stick shooters... or some schmups... or any local multiplayer games. Seriously how many people took part in a 3 player game of Trine on the PC... my friends glared at me when I suggested it and I even had two usb controllers...

I see dead cars?

Which version of Half-life 1 are you modifying? If it's the source re-release, you can try the Source Multiplayer Dedicated Server tool. I think that would solve your issues, but I haven't messed with that much in recent months. If that doesn't work, you might need to set a static IP for the host and pass that out, or just use Hamachi/Tungle/etc.

I feel exactly the same way; then again there is also no need to unlock/purchase any different cars since all the story and side missions give you cars, and even if you brought a car out from your garage to do dares and stunts, it seems like you're limiting yourself by not shifting out of it haha.

That is crazy, I also forgot to mention trying to lower ,"pre-rendered frames" to 1 in nviada control as well. But as long as it works and you can play we'll count that up as a victory! Even if this has to be the pickest game on what works and what doesn't.

WoW this thread went to crap in the last couple of pages... WTG Poxi and Earthbound for returning to the sanctuary that is Steam talk :-)

Is Payday worth for the single player part ?
