Re: 75% Off on Mafia Games on Steam
It would struggle on the integrated graphics chipset, but the one with i5 and 5770, it would tear through the game. So if you can assemble a team of 3 more people, then you guys can use a Skype client to enable voice chat and fire away. Our team is already on it's second play-through and only the DLC's remain to be completed.
Akash, this game in SP would get boring pretty fast. This was meant to be played in co-op. It's like playing L4D in SP minus the AI bots to assist you.mehrotra.akash said:

Re: Steam - Ongoing deals thread
Will I be able to use VISA Debit card on steam? I want to buy Borderlands GOTY edition.

OK guys. I already bought Borderlands. I hope other people buy this too so that Co-op is possible.

This is the first time I have bought something off steam. But I don't think I will buy again for the simple reason that It's going to take me at least a week to fully download this game. It would have cost me about the same in the market too and I would have got a nice box too with it.

Re: Steam - Ongoing deals thread
Yes, the downloading bit is indeed painful, especially in Steam, as the download speed isn't always maxed out using it's client. Also if you're internet connection is slow, then god help you. But once you download the game, you can make a back-up of it's installed folder and use it in case you re-install Windows or want to use it on a different PC. Besides, deals like these would only be available on Steam. Retail copies prices usually remain stagnant for most of it's life-cycle. I don't think you'll find a GOTY edition of Borderlands for this price in the market either. Forget GOTY edition, you won't even get the main game for anywhere even remotely close to $7.5 in India.baccilus said:

The only reason to buy anything off steam is the price. I dont know, but off late, I absoluely HATE the steam client. Its sluggish and sometimes takes forever to connect. Sometimes it even prevents me from playing a game saying "This game is unavailable". Plus, the downloader is absolutely horrible. It doesnt download at full possible speed, cannot calculate the estimated time remaining and is so stupid that it doesnt even know how much of a game has been downloaded.
I never delete any downloaded steam games for this reason. My steam folder is between 150-200GB now, I think.
For all the resources at their disposal, why Valve cannot improve the steam client or simply get rid off it, I cant understand.

Re: Steam - Ongoing deals thread
if anyone planning to get goty edition let me know, I am going to buy pack of 4 for 22.5$ = 5.6$ per copy,
need to buy 2-3 copies for friends, so 1-2 can be bought at the rate of normal game

Re: Steam - Ongoing deals thread
If you're planning to follow the campaign religiously, then I suggest, assemble a good team, co-ordinate the timings when you'll be playing and you can all progress together. This would maintain a uniformity with the mission progress and your character's leveling up. If you join a random game, chances are, you'll end up playing with people much higher than your own level and you'll get killed.
For Borderlands, all you need to do is either host and invite your friends from the main menu OR receive invitations from friends and join their game.baccilus said:

Re: Steam - Ongoing deals thread
Yep, if you join a random person's game, then you'll progress from where the host's progress is at. Some missions won't be accessible to you if you lag behind in the game. So it's advisable to have a steady team if you plan to go in co-op. Else, complete it in Single player once, level up and then go randomly on your second play-through for leveling up.

Re: Steam - Ongoing deals thread
All of Steam purchased content is encrypted to enable proper authentication with your account. This won't be present in retail DVD's. So I don't think it's install would be validated against your Steam purchase. I'm not sure about this, but people with more experience of Steam's authentication system would be able to help you out. Even if it works, how do you plan on getting the DLC's? Assuming, those bootleg DVD's will have only the main game.

Re: Steam - Ongoing deals thread
Improve, Yes valve is in process of improving the Steam cloud service and have also updated the account security thing and few more to come in near future. Getting Rid of Steam or any other Digital Distribution channel cannot happen as Digital Download is the Future of Games. Digital Downloads saves a lot of logistics and publishing cost for the producers/developers.pretttt said:
