villarule123 Posted June 28, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted June 28, 2014 Portal 2 was the one game I was hoping to see on sale, picked it up for £3.74 I'm guessing it is even better than the first? I played it briefly but never finished it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 I prefer Portal to Portal 2, but both are good games. The first was a much smaller game, with the focus being on the puzzles. The second feels like it has a lot of padding in comparison. It was still good, but the first Portal game is a classic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nobler Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Christmas sale starts today (I think), few websites say that Paypal leaked the info. Should probably be up at 6 if it does. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
packoman Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Prison Architect is currently 80% off on Steam! Great game and an absolute steal at that price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davkaus Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 Very serious data leaks happening through Steam right now. Displaying random people's account details, due to some sort of caching error. Some people are claiming they're already seeing transactions that they don't recognise on their account. Keep an eye on your bank statements, this could be very, very bad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted December 25, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted December 25, 2015 This is an absolutely enormous, catastrophic **** up on Valve's part... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 (edited) Yeah, it's not good. The card I had saved on Steam has expired and my last few purchases have been through PayPal but shit, this could cause a loss of confidence in the platform which might take years for Valve to recover from. I'm surprised they didn't just have a killswitch to turn the site off as soon as they confirmed initial reports because it blew up on GAF and Reddit for ages before Valve acted.

Chindie Posted December 25, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted December 25, 2015 I haven't been on to Steam in months so I think I'm not terribly likely to to overly affected, but it smashes confidence in the system. Valve's reaction is also awful. More information has come out of a third party than Valve themselves. And the time to take the store down is absurd.

Daweii Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 Sale season these days never impresses me but it's been several years since I had only 5 games on Steam which was likely the last time a Steam sale excited me. When you have over 600 games on PC and almost 300 of those are on Steam these sales are always sub-par, I am insanely jealous of anyone with only a handful of games right now just filling their boots with great cheap game after cheap game.

dont_do_it_doug. Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 I've just jumped on to steam for the very first time, what are the best games at time of recording? I'd like to play an RPG but have heard the PC version of Fallout 4 is a bit buggy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume it's going to play fine through a Surface Pro 4? Linked to the TV that is. It's the most powerful machine I own at the minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 (edited) I'd expect it to run like a dog, tbh. TW3 is a fairly taxing game that needs a dedicated graphics card. The surface line is not by any means designed to play games. Steam will refund you if you've played a game less than 2 hours, i think, so it can't hurt to give it a go if you've already bought it, but even on low settings i think it'll be basically unplayable.

Yeah I've now done my research! It's an i5 8gb so it will be fine for indie gaming and some on the move gaming I'm sure. My plan now is to build a gaming/media rig in the new year, from scratch. So off to the correct thread I go! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surface has an integrated graphics chip, you'll struggle with anything close to being a AAA game. You can use this site to see if you can run a game before you purchase anything. It really depends what kind of RPG you're looking for, something traditionally Japanese such as Ys or early Final Fantasy. Something Western such as Fallout, Isometric like Wasteland or earlier Fallout titles. An older title I'd recommend is Recettear: an item shops tale. You change between adventuring in dungeons collecting loot to sell in your shop and then running the shop to make the repayments on the loan you have.
