Shogun 2 is $33 on sale on Steam right now. I got it. Darth Mod apparently makes the game megabadass.

Vegas 3 on Steam doesn't work. Save your money.

I bought Far Cry 1 for $2.50 on steam. First time I booted it up it didn't seem to work right, but I'll give it another shot now that I've restarted after installing.

I might end up boycotting FPS games in general. For some reason they're most likely to not work on my computer even when I far surpass the system reqs.

Stop buying Ubisoft PC games, that would help.

I'm generally against it but I might break down and get one or two of the older Splinter Cells games for $3.  They don't have the newer draconian DRM and were released before that so I feel it is justified.  :homestar:

Indeed.  Buying PC games from major studios is usually pretty unwise, since they're all designing for consoles, usually with the retarded architecture of the PS3 in mind, since the 360 can handle pretty much anything.

Good news: after a restart, Far Cry seems to be working fine :)
I guess I just needed to restart after running it for the first time through Steam, since it installed additional MS C++ stuff.

I dunno, I think the era of those kinds of games is pretty much over.  EA/Maxis doesn't even bother to make new SimCity games anymore.

Indeed.  From SimCity, SimEarth, etc....to just churning out news versions of the Sims.

There's a new era of those games coming. Sadly it'll be on Facebook.

they are for the casual gamer of 2010s, which make the casual gamer of the 1990s look like a rocket engineer.

Why would anyone play a game on Facebook?  Eww.

Because it's there. It's a simplified version of having a Console. Almost no fiddling, plus it (starts) free.

Zynga probably knows why.

Yeah, but you'd need to be on Facebook to do it.  Facebook is for 'tards.
