[QUOTE="Cloud567kar"][QUOTE="Hexagon_777"]Haven't heard the criticism you just mentioned, but from what friends told me, you can't play the game without Origin and you can't switch modes without restarting the game and selecting another mode from your web browser. WutHexagon_777
Whats wrong with that?

I have never heard of such DRM (if it is DRM?) before. It just sounds ridiculous. DICE and EA annoyed the hell out of me with Battlefield: Bad Company and Battlefield: Bad Company 2 on PlayStation 3 as is but it looks like I won't be getting Battlefield 3 for PC either.

I dont know why so many people complaing about it. Theres nothing wrong with it and people probably just dont like it because its new and different.

I guess I'll take your word for it. If the lag, disconnecting, and rubberbanding are still there, though, then I am done with Battlefield.

I'm sure Deus Ex: HR will be on sale for the Holiday/Winter sale so I think I'll wait.

I want the DLC, but its still to pricey imo..

You can get it on amazon for $20 its a steamworks game so it activates on steam with the cd key http://www.amazon.com/Deus-Ex-Revolution-Standard-Download/dp/B005HRZ29K/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1322269504&sr=8-3

If it doesn't go on Sale at Steam, I'll pick up the digital purchase of Driver from Amazon where it is 50% off.

Possibly, but the other total war games were on daily sale without shogun 2, so it might just stay at $15, which is a good deal anyways.

Slashkice

General rule of thumb for Steam sales is to wait for daily deals; otherwise buy on the last day.

Though you might want to wait a month as it'll either go for the same price or even less, saving you a few bucks.

Could it really drop to less than $15 during the Christmas sale? Seems like this could be the lowest it'll go for a while, but with Steam you never know.

The bolded is pretty much my line of thinking. Though it probably won't drop by much since it's only a month until then.

But still, I recommend waiting until the 27th at least in case it pops up as a daily.

Ya I'll do that. Hope I don't forget.

I took a chance. I got Battlefield 3 for $30. It's the most expensive game I bought all year. Did I make a mistake?

New Steam deals are up. Limbo is $2.49. Interested to finally play it. I'm halfway tempted by Kane and Lynch, but...no.

Good day.

I'm interested in a couple of games.

Unless you can find The Witcher 2 cheaper elsewhere, buy it. That's a good price.

It's $16 on Amazon still. Though they're not clear on when that ends, so anyone who wants it should snap it up.

Got Limbo and Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory. I'm waiting for The Witcher 2 to go under 10 pounds/$15, but that won't be until next summer most likely, I simply don't have enough money to get it for more than that.

You install it off the disk as you would any other game, but you need to register it to a Steam account when you install it, and thus once you've installed it, it appears on your Steam library and has all the functionality of a game you downloaded from Steam in that sense.

Oh, I didn't realize the franchise sale was for Tom Clancy('s) and not just Splinter Cell. They could have made that clearer.

Got Vegas 2 since I'm almost through with Vegas 1. (Reminds me I need to finish that)

So that propably does it for me, if this is the last day of deals. Decent sale.

Amazon.com has both Darksiders and Metro 2033 for about $5 each...really tempted to get them. My only reservation is if one or both of these games will end up on Steam daily sales or not, probably get them for a couple bucks.

Also, anyone think a AMD x3 720 BE CPU and a Radeon 5750 could handle Metro 2033?

You will do fine in DX9 and maybe DX10, but you will struggle in DX11.
