Seems this weekend's deal on Steam is 75% off Lost Planet: Extreme Condition. The game is currently going for £3.49 which seems too good to pass up. I never did get round to playing Lost Planet when it was released, anyone know what the game is like on the PC? Is the multiplayer any good / alive?

I hate steam weekend deals. They make me spend money on things that I'll never play (or at least not play anytime soon).

Last time I checked, lots of people were playing the PC version of Lost planet.I don't suggest you try getting into the multiplayer though.

I've already played the game on the X360 and had an alright time, but it's not good enough to warrant another purchase from me. I really wish the Civ IV Complete Pack would go on sale sometime soon...

Bought and downloading now. Always wanted to play this on my new PC but couldn't bring myself to pay the full retail price after hearing mixed reviews, so this is perfect.

Damn, that's hard to pass up. Freaking steam...they nickle and dime me with their terrific deals. Oh, what a world!

This is a good deal, but I already have the Colonies edition on the 360. A good game nonetheless.

sell it for 99 and maybe I'll buy it but I'm not into Jap stories cause they are always dumb like Resident Evil.

"I'm still awaiting a World of Goo weekend sale. Really want that game, but not for the £16.99 price it's selling for at the moment.

Man I love steam. It's like they know me or something. I saw the Lost Planet 2 trailer on GB and then I thought man I never played Lost Planet maybe I should get that. Five minutes later after logging onto steam I find out it will only cost me $5.

MADNESS!

Dude seriously, steam needs to stop. I keep spending money, as little as it may be, when I don't have any. xD

One more won't hurt. Plus I wanted to rent it, and it cost 8.99 to rent at blockbuster. So win?

Aw man iv always wanted to own this game, something about it drives me crazy.
Killer deal, will probably pick it up.

We should do a GB MP for it, i wanna kill all you bitches

I thought Lost Planet was alright, but the odd controls for a third person shooter didn't quite stick with me that well, so I think I'll pass this one up. Still, its a very nice deal.

I love weekend sales, even if im not going to buy this one.

Maybe its because I'm Australian so the prices are already 20 dollars well under the normal and then throw on a sale :>

Is the multiplayer still active on the PC? just curious

I've tried but the multiplayer is generally inactive - lots of connectivity issues, and I can't host for shit even with forwarded ports. I hear Colonies Edition is more active multiplayer-wise.

 I hadn't realized there was a difference.

I thought they were basically the same game.....or atleast shared servers or whatever.

It's not nearly as good as the console version.

Steam makes awesome deals for underwhelming games, enticing me to buy them. This is not fair.
