Free steam games?

[Scoper]

Hi mods, if this is against the rules just delete the topic, I assume it'll be allowed though

Sup guys, I just recently bought a bundle of games that came in two parts. One of the parts included these games:

Darksiders
Red Faction: Armageddon
Metro 2033
Company of Heroes
Company of Heroes: Opposing Fronts
Company of Heroes: Tales of Valor

I already own almost all of these on steam, and should I redeem the code for the one game I don't own (tales of valor), then all the others get burned up.

Soo would any of you be interested in it? I thought it might be fun to event it off or something. Sound worth doing?

This key is through steam, for the PC. you need a PC and steam to play them.

[DustyPorViva]

I'd say I want a game, but then I'll feel bad for knowing it'll probably never be touched like most of the other games in my Steam library.

I'll take it off your hands, i got a brand new gaming computer so i feel worthy. Ya kno, dont want some nub with a dual core 2.2GHz running a dedicated graphic card and 2GIG ram... its safer in my hands. Plus im low on games for my computer.

while you may be right, that's noooo fun.

@dusty...yeah. Went pretty crazy during the christmas sales last year (dropped like 400$), do all the bundles..haven't even touched 10% of my games.

Just because you have a "gaming" computer doesn't mean you deserve them-- maybe if you didn't blow all your money on expensive hardware you could actually get games.
At least you aren't one of those pretentious brats that pirates every game because they think they're entitled to it because they own a "gaming" pc.

I've been a happy camper for the past half year on my AMD Athlon II X4 645 3.2GHZ + Radeon HD 6670 + 4GB of ram on 1280x800 (1680x1050 16:10 monitor) with medium settings, 120fps+ stable on pretty much any game but Natural Selection II (traded my 20key tf2 unusual for it)-- Natural Selection II is by far the best game I've ever played, it even trumps TF2.

However, NS2 is nearly unplayable for me because multicore rendering literally has no difference between single, making the game run at 50fps (10-20fps in heavy fights) because it's only using one core due to the developers choosing f**king LUA for their netcode (the game's performance will not get better until they move it to C++ or a better language).


By the way, why is Graal stuck on 20fps? Graal in 30 or 60fps would be epic.

Let me give you a TF2 Economy lesson.

Keys are 2.50 from Valve's Shop.

Keys are 1.30$ "black market", which is what people go by for trading-- you can buy keys from trusted sellers for this price, which is much cheaper than valve's price-- it doesn't put in new keys into the economy though, which drives up the price of them in metal.

Sales of keys from valve's shop drives down the price of keys in metal.

My Unusual Grenadier's Softcap w/ Nuts n Bolts (crap effect) is only worth around 20 keys (http://backpack.tf/unusuals/227/Grenadier%27s_Softcap).

Since people go by black market prices for unusuals and games on steam, my unusual is worth 1.30*20=26$

therefore I'm only losing a dollar if I trade my unusual for natural selection 2, which is 25$.


Unusuals are stupid things to own on TF2-- all they do is attract account hijackers, scammers, and sharkers.

I had previously traded (unpainted) essentials for RAGE. I believe you could've gotten more out of that unusual, no matter how shitty the effect.

RAGE is a mediocore game with bad reviews-- it's no wonder why you got it for cheap.
http://www.amazon.com/Rage-Pc/dp/B003ICGL7I
10$.
http://backpack.tf/pricelist
according to backpack.tf you traded a 6.5key item for it, which is about 8.45

you saved 1.55$. that isn't alot-- I saved a whole 25$ because I got my unusual for free from a friend who unboxed a 20bud unusual during halloween, and sold it for over 12 unusuals+ keys+refineds+low craft # pipboy collection

also unusuals are impossible to sell for games, 95% of the time traders wants keys like the greedy nubs they are.
I just put up a trade and waited for people desperate to sell their "gift copies" of NS2 on outpost (people who preordered the game over 5 years ago got a steam gift of the game to give to a friend).

Rage's reviews have been almost unanimously positive from major outlets, and its metascore generally sits above 70. It took numerous awards back from E3, and was one of the highrated (console) games of that year. What the hell is "mediocre" and "bad"?

Woah who let the cat out of the bag...

I said I deserve them because im new to computer gaming anyways.

But clearly i dont because i do not have a burning passion, like you do. Hating other people for silly things, then posts their computer specs. Then goes off topic by declaring that you are a happy camper with whatever ***goty games you play. Pretentious.

Doesn't change either it's monetary value or the fact that I really enjoyed the game.

Let's then also consider the fact that I bought the essentials for 3 keys and a couple crates, and traded it for RAGE shortly after its release (when you couldn't get it for 10 bucks). I really don't see your point.

[Fulg0reSama]

Hopefully you find someone who can enjoy the games, only game in the list I liked was Darksiders and that is a lovely game.

pay 6 dollars for all that? BRILLIANT

Update: well i gave them 6 dollars and most to charity, i sure hope i get the key any day now...

Update 2: i got it, cheapest thing, GUYS GO GET IT!

[Fulg0reSama]

I might buy the bundle for saints row actually.

[DustyPorViva]

If you're well off and can afford more than the average it would be a nice gesture the guys at humble bundle deserve some too. Insulting to see the default split give what... 75% or so to THQ?

THQ aint doing so well.

Maybe, but I don't think it's quite in the spirit of what Humble Bundle is, and I hope they're not expecting this to dig them out of the hole they're in. I guess in the end I can respect THQ doing this while in the financial troubles they're in, but if that's the case it would have been nice to see the default split put a little more towards charity; not like you can't chose I guess though.

edit: lol, top contributor is the president of THQ? But I'm just gonna assume someone is using his name.

even if it actually is the president
there is no reason to hate on him-- he's the co-founder of naughty dog, the wonderful studio that brought the crash, jak, and uncharted franchises.

[Fulg0reSama]

Just an FYI, you can donate strictly to charity If you'd like.

I didn't say him being the top contributed was a bad thing, but funny :P Like I said I don't really have a problem with THQ. It's actually a shame companies like that struggle while ****s run companies like EA and Activision yet get more and more money.

Crash has been consistently terrible since the beginning, Jak and Daxter was the only half playable game of the franchise, and Uncharted is Uncharted.

The sole atrocity more hostile to the very senses is this mother****er.



Jak comes from another end of the spectrum. Jak and Daxter presented something new and unique. It was a refreshing romp through something original, and never before seen in that territory. It was not a blatant mirror of another consoles major players, as Crash was. It was not long overstuffed bandwagon. It was special. It was a gem. And it rapidly denerated into another run of the mill, grim 'n gritty shootan fest. Whatever demographic that franchise appeals to now is one that rots at the bottom of a gutter, accepting any barbaric and half polished idea that comes their way, as they've been so starved for any sort of stimulus that even the lowest common denominator would satisfy them.


Uncharted is still Uncharted.

[WillaWonka]

I had a ton of fun playing Jak and Daxter on the ps2 a long time ago. Best game memories evar.

Uncharted is still Uncharted.

Crash and Mario 64 are two completely different games-- they can't be compared to eachother.
Sonic never had a 3D platformer release on the Saturn, the Dreamcast is a different generation and therefore they cannot be compared.
Crash is linear, Mario 64 isn't.
Crash was the first true linear 3D platformer, and the best on the playstation.

Also, when Naughty Dog needed funding, they made a contract with Universal that the Crash franchise was theirs, hence why the franchise got gradually reduced to ****-- same applies to Insomniac with Spyro.

The first Jak game was amazing. Jak 2 was fun too because it was different, but Jak 3 was bland and more of the same.

All of the Uncharted games are awesome, but the series got progressively better.

[Tim_Rocks]

They need to keep making Jak games, easily one of my favorites as I was growing up.

[bloodykiller]

u didn't turn out very well though

[Admins]

It's against the forum rules sorry.
