Steam Sale

[liquid]

I had the same problem with one of the games I bought. If you go to the store page, it will say something along the lines of 'You already own this game, click here to play/install' Click that and you can install it. Restart Steam and it should hopefully appear when you next restart.

Noticed the "You already own this game" line. There is a play button showing, but when I click it nothing happens.
Will try it on my other computer tonight and see if something magical happens there...

Hmm worked for me. Only been that one game which hasn't shown up, but I was able to install it that way and play it after the download had finished.

Read that you can trigger the install using an url like "steam://install/gameID", but you will need the game ID. And I don't know where to find that

Steam store URL.

Limbo URL is http://store.steampowered.com/app/48000/

App ID is 48000 (I think).

Bought Portal 2 for £3.74 not bad for one of the best games of the last few years.

I think I'm done unless arma 2 goes on sale now. I've only spent on Crysis, metro 2033 and portal 2. There is to much stuff in these bloody sales. Stuff less than a fiver I might look at, or of something particularly brilliant catches my eye then maybe I'll buy summit. But I've got so much to play there is little point spending any more. Especially given I only manage an hour or so a night now.

That isn't much for Portal 2!! Awesome game, especially the voice acting.

Alan Wake is £5.74, remember that having a lot of excitement before it came out. Never played it though.

Love Portal but doesn't have a whole lot of re-playability. If custom maps etc were easier to add then it would be better, especially if they were co-op.

I looked at Alan Wake but it wasn't as fantastic as it was thought it would be I don't think. Plus it was on sale not so long ago and I'm sure it will be again in the future.

Like I say, I still have a massive list of unplayed game to get through so unless it is something I particularly want due to it's brilliance then I'm going to try anda void buying too much

Games I can think of that I haven't played include Bioshock, Mass Effect 1 & 2 (I did about 20 hours or so on xbox before getting it on PC), I still need to finish HL2: Episode 2 which I was doing until I got to the Strider attack which I assume is near the end. It is hard as fook. Unreal 2, although that feels a bit pants to play, with unweighty weapons and less than enthralling gameplay. La Noire I have done about 3 hours of. I have Diablo 3 which I am bored of and not even finished Act 2 on normal difficulty. I bought the Witcher not long ago, but I can't get into that either. I did about an hour a few weeks back, got bored. Now I have Crysis and Metro 2033. Also, Fallout 3 on xbox which I still have three DLC's including the story expansion Broken Steel that I have never finished. Back on PC I have Fallout New Vegas that I have never even loaded and to top it off I still have Skyrim with a shite load of side quests to do, cities I haven't visited including Morthal, Dawnstar and Riften and I am only a few quests into the main story. yet I have clocked up about 80 hours on the xbox. I think I have a copy of Brothers In Arms still with the wrapper on. I bought the Battlefield 2 collection about 3 years ago and that has never been played either. If I ever get really stuck I have Quake and Quake 2 plus expansions that I haven't finished. Well, I finished most of quake but I lost my save games. It is actually awesome to try and speed run levels. I can never find secret areas so speed running is more fun. Still remember the first time I booted up Quake as a 12 year old. It's still amazing to this day.

I'm fucking useless at this. Just got home and bought Max Payne 3 and Limbo...

Let me know what you think of Max Payne 3. I was looking forward to that game, but I read that the pc version was a very bad port of the console ones. (and it takes about 30 GB of disk space)
