Well, looks like it might finally be time to take a Steamy plunge...I almost bit when they had the Rockstar Collection on sale, but BioShock for $5? I played through most of the game already, but don't mind at all to support games that I enjoy. I'll do the same thing for GTA IV; it truly is an amazing experience on PC if you have the horsepower to run it well. Wonder if it's less than a 13.85GB download on Steam
I have a couple of questions though:
- Are the games generally compatible with mods? I saw earlier where someone was able to use the ZDoom launcher with the Steam version of Doom. What about games with mods that boost texture resolution and add vehicles/maps/etc.? Do you have to launch the game through a Steam executable or do you have a copy of all of the original game files on your hard drive? Not sure I'm asking this very clearly, and it probably depends on the mod...
- Are those indie games recommended? i-Fluid looks like it could be fun for $5, and Trials 2 looks pretty cool. Haven't seen very many people talking about anything but BioShock, Doom, Portal, and L4D though
Just saw your post, Nemesis. Let me know what you think of i-Fluid.
