fyi there is an indie pack that has Super Meat Boy and a bunch of other games (I remember Amnesia and Killing Floor being a part of it). If SMB isn't a daily deal, then I'd hold off for that.

Super Meat Boy $3.75

That's it. I'm suiciding. I can't keep living life knowing I have to miss these deals.

What is your steam name?

The Misadventures of P.B. Winterbottom is fifty cents.

cool breeze · « **Reply #426 on:** December 20, 2010, 01:13:49 PM »

that BJ Winterbottoms game is 49 cents. I got it during the last steam and didn't like it, but it is the cost of a few stamps now and it's one of those time/clone based puzzle games.

cool breeze · « **Reply #430 on:** December 20, 2010, 01:39:53 PM »

The FEAR pack is a good deal at $10. FEAR 1 + expansions and FEAR 2 + DLC (that takes around an hour or two to finish). Since I have the latter two, I'm just going with the first and the expansions for $2.50

I wonder when steam will get the actual site up so I can know what is a daily deal.

and the Oddboxx at 50% off is a daily deal too. The deals are showing up, but the site designed for the deals hasn't yet (maybe at noon pst)

The lame thing about FEAR 1 is that you need to download it with the expansions. IT makes the entire download close to 17 gigs.

Why did they even port this to PC if they were gonna do this?

It's a port of the Xbox version and they've already said they're going to update it to match the PS3 version

Raban · « **Reply #452 on:** December 20, 2010, 02:58:50 PM »

I was under the impression that the version they were releasing was going to have all the new HD doodads from the get-go. Oh well, my fault for expecting a PC game at launch to be anything less than a whopping headache. Still,

EDIT: At any rate, my toll for the day is
Battlefield: Bad Company 2
The Oddboxx

and I'm seriously considering getting FEAR 2 and its DLC, but that's not a decision I'm jumping to make.

FatalT · « **Reply #453 on:** December 20, 2010, 03:04:22 PM »

So far I've picked up Bad Company 2, Super Meat Boy, and PB Winterbottom. I'll probably just wait for all the daily deals and then get whatever on the last day.

Truth be told the reason the PC version doesn't have the HD models is the PS3 version isn't done yet, and we wanted to get the Oddboxx out this Holiday Season.

It is HIGHLY likely we will be releasing an update for PC at a later date!

Cormacaroni · « **Reply #470 on:** December 20, 2010, 07:19:06 PM »

Getting the older PoP stuff, even though Sands of Time is probably the only PoP game I ever need. It should look nice on PC at least, esp. in 3D. Anything on that scale tends to look nutso in 3D Vision. Oddbox too.
Will wait on daily deals for the other stuff I'm after. So irritating that EA and Rockstar is region-locked in Japan.

I gave in and bought the oddbox when I saw they had achievements. I'm such an achievement whore

Will wait and hope they patch Munch/Stranger to working condition before trying to play them.

Also got Broken Sword 1 DC for $2.50 even though I heard it's worse than the original and I still have the original's cd around somewhere. Still want to check out the new additions they added at some point. Especially with Broken Sword 2 DC coming out (which could improve the original? I heard the original is kind of bad, so any additions might help it).

Smooth Groove · « **Reply #473 on:** December 20, 2010, 09:48:08 PM »

Stranger's Wrath is not running well? I didn't even know if Oddboxx is any good for the PC but I just wanna support their efforts so that we might get more console classics from last gen on the PC.

I also got BC2 even though I already have it on a shared account with my cousin. Since it's so cheap, I just got another one in case we ever wanna play together.

Bebpo · « **Reply #474 on:** December 20, 2010, 10:26:03 PM »

Apparently both Xbox ports run worse than the majority of X360 ports. Lots of crashes, audio problems, have to manually set resolution through the config.txt. Plus no widescreen support.

Hopefully between official patches and unofficial patches they'll get them working eventually. Still seems like a really poor way to show off your company to the world. Makes the devs look incompetent.

Smooth Groove · « **Reply #475 on:** December 20, 2010, 10:57:19 PM »

Surprisingly, the two oldest games still look pretty good, aside from the low res. I tried them at 1:1 pixel on my monitor because it's mpossible to play them blown up. It's just a blurry mess when upscaled to the native res of my monitor. I wish they had redone the art so that it at least runs at 720P native. They must have had the original assets in higher resolution.

Bebpo · « **Reply #476 on:** December 20, 2010, 11:36:56 PM »

Yeah I tried Strangers Wrath and it doesn't work. 10fps at 1080p and when it goes to first person the screen freezes and you can't play it. :\

I hate it when companies add more DRM on top of games that are already on Steam.

Bebpo · « **Reply #479 on:** December 21, 2010, 12:12:25 AM »

Ok got PoP working. Visually the game looks really nice! It's like a real next-gen Sands of Time. Very detailed Assassin's Creed 2 like graphics in PoP style. Controls feel exactly like SoT. Lotta platforming and stuff right away. Seems good, especially for $5 (as long as the ubi servers don't go down!)

Also FRAPS will crash the game at the start. Took me a little to figure out why it wouldn't get past the logo.
