A PC that can't play KOTOR?

You can replace it with something better for virtually free. A computer from 2009 (6 years after KOTOR was released) could be had nothing.

Well, it can play KOTOR, but not much else, it lags on Skyrim, Saints Row 2, Jedi Academy, Chivalry: Medieval Warfare, War of the Roses.

So yeah, I can play them, but its very laggy.

Jedi Academy only lags some of the time in really dense places in-game.

Well a computer from 2009/2010 should be less than $100 and be able to play all those games (Skyrim being a bit tough).

I have 0 bucks.

I noticed Origin has Jade Empire on the House.

So Phantom Pain is half-price on Steam right now. Not bad. Thinking of using that Steam credit I got for Christmas to pick it up:

KOTOR needs some tweaking to play right. At the time, even on my 6600gts, it lagged a lot in areas.

Jedi Academy lagging is surprising. I think that game could have played on a 2000 rig.. Runs fine on my laptops integrated 945gm, and that can't play much, at all..

Thats why I downloaded KOTOR off the Gamestop Online app, and not on steam.

I've honestly never trusted steam, why do I have to update it to play my games offline??? Why do I need to log in to play the game's I paid for?

What if I lose my email and forget my password?

I could rant for hours about Steam.

Why would they let on apps that don't even work on modern computers? Happens all the time.. Max Payne 1 and 2 were on sale awhile back, and basically couldn't run on anything post Windows XP without tweaking the exe, folder layout, and adding another file.. Pages of complaints with the same issues.

Good Old Games actually makes sure their games work on newer OS's, instead of throwing stuff out there and letting the user take their chances.

That's one thing with Steam i felt that they could fix

and also why not have the game all patched up before buying it?....at least GOG has that problem sorted out & then when you uninstall it and decide to play it again later gotta go through that process again....ugh

Didn't know that about Max Payne 1 & 2...good thing i played the second one on my old computer which had XP.

Mmkay, so the sale is over now, but I got Dragon's Crown on my Vita for Half Price ($14.99).

Regarding the Max Payne discussion above, You can get it working on on modern PC's....very easy to do.

I dunno if its for consoles as well, but if you have a Vita, the "Sale of the Dead" has some low-budget horror games on sale, as well as...

The Walking Dead: The Complete First Season.

ITS ONLY $4.99!!!

I already have TWD on my Vita, first season anyway, can't wait to get the second one.

They also have "Castlevania: Dracula X Chronicles" on sale for $7.99, but meh, I already have SoTN, I'm happy.

Haven't been able to yet.

Part 1 of the Sale of the Dead:

Part 2 of the Sale of the Dead:

The Swapper's on there, but not Lone Survivor?

Swapper isn't really horror themed, but LS sure is.

Look on the game's forum next time you go back to it.

I did, many times. Nothing works, not compability mode, or administrator mode, or setting the affinity for a single core at launch, or forcing dx8-9, or the stupid directory renaming trick. The game never launches.

On the bright side, Deus Ex randomly started working.

I didn't know this about Dracula X Chronicles, but...

Yeah you basically get two games with that Castlevania game.
