Thanks! And thanks for all the help getting me going. I've been depressed for years every time I saw a Steam sale and realized it was PC only. Or hearing you guys talk about a fun sounding game that was PC only. Now I get to reap the rewards! Is Steam free to have an account on? Is it just a matter of going to a website and downloading something to access the games?
Yep. Go to Steampowered.com and download the client. Signing up for an account is free. After that, just fire up the application, click Store, and browse away. Steam now has daily sales. You just missed Portal 2 for $5. I would look at getting the Portal + Portal 2 pack.
Buy Dragon Age, it's on sale for 7.50 right now. Absolutely worth it. http://store.steampowered.com/app/47810/
Looks like AMD is also giving me Far Cry 3, Blood Dragon for free with the graphics card along with Bioshock Infinite and Tomb Raider. Anyone know if I need to play the other 3 first to understand this? Seems like a spin off of Far Cry 3
As said in the Bioshock Infinite thread, the game takes place 50 years before 1 and has nothing to do with 1 or 2. It's stand-alone. Far Cry 3 is also unrelated to 2 which had nothing to do with 1. Think of it as Guy In Jungle Area 3. I would skip Tomb Raider but that's just me.
As far as people talking about websites that build computers go, between me and my gf we have bought 3 different computers from ibuypower. And all 3 have shipped with issues. Broken harddrives.... Soundcards... Damaged parts. Without fail. 3 within 2 years and even paying for extra safe packing and shipping they came with problems. I've never tried cyberpowerpc but I heard their customer service is trash and they seem like 2 guys in a garage as opposed to a company. In the end I decided to finally build a pc, spent like 1k and built a pc worth about 2200 at the time. Could never go back. It's a pure monster and I still use it. They aren't worth the money in the end without super sales
Blood Dragon is the awesome 80s spin off that has nothing to do with Far Cry 3 at all. Just watch the trailer, it will tell you all you need to know: http://youtu.be/0dofacvjRkc
Blood Dragon is what games should have become but didn't because realism started trumping entertainment.
