QUOTE(Gormaz @ Sep 12 2010, 08:00 PM) Ok, that was my bad, I re-found the RPS review and it's actually Armored Princess original campaign that seems to be included in Crossworld, not the original King's Bounty. Sorry about that, it was late and I didnt sleep much in the last week ^^ Review on RPS for anyone interested: RPS Review of CrossworldsSo basically getting the offer Crossworlds + Kings's Bounty for free would make you get the whole 3 games in one bundle, pretty good deal I would say Now I am just confused on the "requires Armored Princess to play" thing... I think the version released by Steam doesn't include AP (Armored Princess). Just run through the Steam forum & read that those without AP will not be able to purchase Crossworlds. Quoting 1 of the comments in RPS: QUOTE Saiko Kila says:

It will have both. There are three versions (depending on the market, i.e. county), the cheapest one requires KBAP and is the best for people who have invested in the game already and it’s an EXPANSION, the middle one has KBAP included (STANDALONE, or base+expansion if you wish) and the deluxe version, most expensive, has even KBTL, the first game included. There is a modified campaign with KBAP, and two new campaigns (one with male hero, one with Amelie from KBAP). And editor. |

QUOTE(viledante @ Sep 14 2010, 07:14 PM) okay, plain sight didn't work for me, anyone who bought it works ? this is the errorlog btw System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. at PlainSight.GameplayScreen.UnloadContent(Boolean hardExit) at BeatEngine.ScreenSystem.ScreenManager.UnloadContent() at Microsoft.Xna.Framework.DrawableGameComponent.Dispose(Boolean disposing) at Microsoft.Xna.Framework.GameComponent.Dispose() at Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Game.Dispose(Boolean disposing) at Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Game.Dispose() at PlainSight.Program.Main(String[] args) fyi, i already installed the framework and xna 3.1. still didn't work, weird  I think it will be best to leave LYN + Steam forum behind & head over to the developer's page to get better & faster resolution: http://beatnikgames.co.uk/index.php/forums/viewforum/31/ Based on the error message you have there, I strongly suspect that the XNA is the culprit. |

QUOTE(dazealot @ Sep 14 2010, 10:44 PM) I just thought of something... Steam Wallet seems to be pretty bad for people who help buy Steam games, doesn't it? I mean if you have 100 dollar in your Steam Wallet then there's no need to contact deimos/edison/talexeh every time there's a sale, we just buy games with the money in Steam Wallet. Or maybe it will help them make more profit, Steam Wallet still need credit card. Shh... you're not supposed to divulge that.  Sarcasm aside, there are both pros & cons involved but I've to agree that it opens up more options for those who patronize our services. The fluctuating exchange rate is definitely one of the aspects that needs to be taken into consideration. help them make more profit is a little hard to swallow. It has always been a win-win situation for both parties, right? This post has been edited by talexeh: Sep 14 2010, 11:32 PM |

Here's the link .. http://www.steampowered.com/nvidia/AFAIK, this promotion dates back to 2008. I guess the phrase limited time is just like the cake. You can check for other free Steam games from this thread too: http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/show...ad.php?t=851573 |

QUOTE(hakimix @ Sep 21 2010, 12:13 AM) Why some games like The Sims series and FIFA series are not distributed on Steam? To fully utilise EA Store? But other DD platforms have The Sims series in their list.  |

QUOTE(hakimix @ Sep 21 2010, 12:36 AM) Gamersgate only have 1 expansion and not the vanilla version while both Direct2Drive and Impulse have the vanilla version and all the expansions.They also have FIFA series. What gives? Region restriction? Region-related issue is the best answer I guess. If you browse to GG via VPN, all the expansions are available. Compared to them, I'm of the opinion that Steam is the fairest when it comes to the availability of the games that are being placed under discount tags. Sure, there are some games that are not available in our region such as GTA IV but you'll be amazed with the amount of discounted games being locked to the US region with the other DD platforms. Steam is a b*tch though when it comes to trying to fool the system to purchase region-locked games.  This post has been edited by talexeh: Sep 21 2010, 10:25 AM |

QUOTE(alex82 @ Sep 26 2010, 12:13 AM) you can't use proxy to buy, your cc biling add has to be US as well if i'm not mistaken For D2D? I know it's applicable for Steam but for other DDs such as GamersGate, the billing address is not important. Not sure about D2D & that's what I'm interested to know as well. |

QUOTE(dazealot @ Sep 26 2010, 10:23 PM) Just someting I found while browsing games. Here's some interesting info from Commander : Conquest of America's DLC: 3 Historical Naval Battles (screenshots available):
Cape Rachado
The battle of Cape Rachado was fought between the Dutch and the Portuguese fleets in the year 1606 near Cape Rachado, Malacca. In this setting, the Dutch fleet consists of 11 ships lead by Admiral Cornelis Matelief de Jonge while the Portuguese fleet has 20 ships lead by vice-roy Martim Afonso de Castro. Even though the Dutch lost this battle, it was enough to convince the Sultanate of Johor to support the Dutch in the Dutch-Portuguese War, and eventually end the Portuguese supremacy in the region.
The Malaysian high school history textbook seems to miss out on some interesting topic, if the fact from the game is true. If its true, anyway. Now, back to study.... Well, history was written by the winners & there are always facts that have to be left out to preserve whatever little pride we have back then.  Nice find though. |
