amok: GamersGate is having a sale on Focus Interactive games, up to 75%

grviper: 75% is applied only to Silverfall. The rest are 50% off. Crafty.

amok: Forum bug - I changed it in the first edit, and when i added the freedom force games in a second edit, it came back

grviper: On a second and following edits hit Ctrl+F5 to refresh the edit window before you make any changes to it. That'll load the actual post you're editing instead of the initial version.

Speaking of the sale, anyone got anything good to say about Faery?

abolat: just a heads up both games use securom drm

Luisfius: Saints Row 2 is the best worst GTA-like. The best, because, well, it is the silliest and funniest one since GTA2. It is an absolute blast to play.

Worst because the port to PC was absolutely crap. It CAN be fixed with two mods, but it is still far from ideal.
The two mods are these:

It fixes (some) performance issues and makes it work. Yeah. Don't play without it.
Hell, you basically CAN'T play without it.

Gentlemen of the Row. Great mod. Adds a shitload of silly stuff, tries to restore content, and last time I checked, was even porting the SR2 DLC that never got released on PC. Besides, flamingo nukes.
Making the best GTA-like even better. I don't think it has things as silly as SR3's dildo weapons, but it is close. Have not played SR3, but Gentlemen of the Row is wonderful and great. Unlocks animations and voices and A LOT OF STUFF ot be used.

Also, once that is done and configured, you can do AWESOME coop multiplayer. It is a blast. At less than five bucks, SR2 is a TOTAL STEAL. Hell, I don't really like GTA, but SR2 is amazing.

FiatLux: Thank you very much , "abolat" , for the info - and silly me , I thought that the GamersGate versions probably were better than the DOTEMU versions that I already have bought...
FiatLux: Is something like that (the MODs) compatible with Steam ? .

B.t.w.

Saints Row 2 and 3 are on offer at Steam !!!!

Luisfius: Yes. Those mods are compatible with the Steam versions. Hell, IIRC, they don't work if you don't use the steam version, or at least they were NOT compatible with the Gamersgate version. Gamersgate might have had a censored or incomplete one, I don't remember, but they are only guaranteed to work with the steam version.
Then again, I did get my SR2 from the THQ store and registered it on steam when it was 7 bucks, and the mods worked perfectly there. Registered as in "it is now linked to my steam account", not "external game uses the steam overlay", or something.

Revisor: Wow, that's the first time I've seen an insider share information about Steam pricing and it's directly contradicting what we've thought the whole time - that publishers or devs, not Steam set the price.
