Hey! Steam holiday sale! as usual, fucking awesome sales. Any one get anything yet? They are doing that daily sale thing again too. I bought Just Cause 2, Aliens vs. Predator (2010), and Bully. Past 2 days had decent sales as well, but I only got the Oddboxx which I'm super excited about!
I also bought 2 of the Indie packs, Beat Pack and 2D Pack.
I have so many games now. Wish I had more time to play them. But I was planning on playing most of these eventually anyway. so worth it.
-
These things always happen when I have no money
-
I just bought this package http://store.steampowered.com/sub/2327/ (http://store.steampowered.com/sub/2327/)
It has nothing to do with the holiday sale..... but I have always wanted to play Darkstar One. It's very similar to a game called Freelancer (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freelancer_(video_game)), which I enjoyed playing very much. Surprisingly the bundle for it and two other games is cheaper than buying the game outright. At 2.50 you can't go wrong!
-
Is Bully worth it at all?

This game also reminds me of something called X beyond the frontier which my brother loves, I might just have to get this for him.

I liked it when I played it on the PS2.
-
Yeah I caved in and picked that up along with Assassin's Creed 2. I never played the first one but I heard you don't really need to to play the second so I hope I'm not missing out. Now I need to buy a good PC controller. I think I have a PS2-USB cable device that has served me well in the past, I just need to find it somewhere in my house. Otherwise I think I'll get an XBox 360 controller.
-
Alpha Protocol is $7.50! Go buy it.
Yeah I managed to pick this one up, which is about all I had set aside for games right now. They seemed to have a lot of other sales around too, like Fallout NV I believe.
-
VVVVVV
-
Considering ARMA II.
Bought BF2 Complete and the Overlord Complete Pack today.
-
got myself and ED the complete overlord games 1 and 2 for 3 bucks each.
Also just hooked him up with another g8 game StarScape one of the best indie game I've played around 2001 and I got it for me too because I don't feel like finding the disc.
-
I just bought Super Meat Boy and the Overlord Complete Pack. Good stuff.
-
I got bloody good time for $3.74
-
the X super box is so cheap, so i got it.
fck yeah
-
Nothing interested me today other than Super Meat Boy for $3.75, so I picked it up.
-
I just bought super meat boy too, probably won't play it for a while but it looks good.
-
Yeah, The Witcher is good.
Was kind of disappointed that today was just repeats of top selling games from the last couple of days, but it does give me a second chance to reconsider Darksiders, the Fear Complete Pack and Assassin's Creed 2. Not entirely sure what to pick up.
-
Everyone should buy Super Meat Boy. It is seriously awesome game, haven't had this much fun since VVVVVV!
It is also challenging as fuck at best.
-
I took a look at a trailer for smb and couldnt see what the big deal was, doesnt look like anything special.

Buy it and find out for yourself. It's not expensive. :-)
-
Super Meat Boy is a really well polished game. It just oozes with style. Although some levels are frustrating I don't find myself pulling my hair apart or anything - it's actually enjoyable to finally beat something that has been giving you a hard time. And since each level is so short you don't feel like you're being cheated. Definetely one of the most fun platformers that's come out in recent years.
-
The menu system in Super Meat Boy is annoying. The way it has to play the fucking intro whenever you back into an area is so annoying.
Those are my only two complaints though. The rest is amazing.
Ohh edit: Should I get Mirrors Edge? Is it worth it?
-
Should I buy Cities XL 2011? Is it much like what SimCity was like, because I did enjoy those games.

If you do, tell me what it's like because I love Sim City but all versions just fail on Win7.
TTD is a good one though. Get OpenTTD and play that instead. It's free.
-
Ohh edit: Should I get Mirrors Edge? Is it worth it?
I have Mirrors Edge on my PS3. It's very stylistic and interesting but I hated the controls for it. Often I would get killed because of them and found it very frustrating. But then again I'm not used to playing games in first person where you have to make intricate platforming jumps so it may just be me. For $5 though you can't go wrong with it.
-
nwn2 + expansions for $10. I dunno if you'd want it but I probably spent more time playing this series than any other game, even the civs. not that this makes em the best games ever but I think they're easily worth the money. because of nwn2 I didn't have to play stuff like mass effect (I don't know if I mean mass effect or another game) and whatever other garbage gamer-generation game designers are barfing out now. if you liked the baldur's gate series but didn't try these yet I'd definitely say give em a try. if you need help building a character shoot me a PM :fogetsmile:

Little more advance then your simcity but pretty much the same yes.
-
I bought it anyway. Looks like I'll enjoy it.
-
I haven't been interested in any of the games on sale to buy them. I was thinking about getting the X thing but I thought too long and I blew it, but I'm glad I didn't buy it anyway I've already played 10 games just like it I am sure. I mean the prices are good and all but nah!
-
I usually buy tons of games during the Steam sales, but this time I haven't seen a single interesting game despite checking back once or twice per day to see if anything good has appeared. They're all just shitty lackluster scifi and fantasy games.
-
The only difference really is another year's worth of games and not that many have come down to reasonable prices. Activision continues to take the piss with their prices. They're not worth that much. They're hardly worth the bandwidth.
I bought the Monkey Island remakes, that's it.
-
Dirt2 for £3.74? Everyone should own that game. So awesome.
-
I got the Witcher which is supposed to be a pretty decent RPG for 5 bucks, Bad Company 2 was $7 and blows any call of duty out the water so that was definitely worth it. Also the Misadventures of PB Winterbottom is 50 cents and a entertaining platformer. I really want the Monkey Island special editions but I think I missed the sale :(
Today seems to have to some decent deals, I'm contemplating either the Doom or King's Bounty packs.
-
Mildly temped by the Doom Pack. But the only part of it that I haven't beaten is Doom 3's expansion, MLoD, and the second half of Final Doom... and I own the later 2 on GOG anyway.
Also mildly interested in Section 8. but something tells me it's online servers are dead and I doubt the single player is any thing special or very long.
The rest I either own, don't think is worth the price, or have no interest at all.
So yeah probably not spending any on these.
-
i hear the witcher is pretty ridiculous with it's misogyny even compared to most games.
-

Yeah the Witcher is pretty goddamn misogynistic. There's a total of like fifteen collectable cards in-game you get for having sex with in-game characters.
From what I've heard the second one is throwing that out the window and is making romance in slightly better taste.
-
I thought the only reason people played the Witcher was for the sex. I mean, that's what the game is known for.
-
Me too. Only I got bored before it got to that bit.
-
i bought witcher to have sex
-
I want to get Amnesia but I don't know nuffin about computers/graphics cards. It says I need a GeForce 4 but I have a GeForce 320M and I don't know if that's better or worse or what. help how do i use computer
-
dl the demo and if it works U CAN BUY IT
t b'gok
-
halp what is a "demo "
-
http://www.demo.com/
-
Geforce 4 is probs the min you need to play GTA3/Vice City. Just for comparison. 320M should do it alright.

Also I totally didn't mean to double post... I can't delete this post now so (sorry). Must've mouse-duvet'd the wrong link.
-
yeah I downloaded the demo and it worked fine. also it was PRETTY SCARY! so imma get it
-
Yeah Insomnia is pretty good at just scaring you to the point where you need to play the game in 15 minute intervals so that it doesn't overwhelm you.
-
Greed Corps and Sword and Soldiers is on the steam sale for $2.50 a piece, Greed Corps is a pretty clever turn based strategy game and sword and soldiers is sort of like a side scrolling rts. Both have pretty fun campaigns and online multiplayer if that's your thing.
-
Not very good sales on today. Though I am really confused as to why Singularity isn't available in "my region." I'm sure it wasn't banned in Australia or New Zealand.

The valve pack wasn't avaliable in "my region". I'm pretty sure I own all those games so...
Also Jedi Knight pack and the Hitman pack are well worth it.
-
Mafia 2 for 12.50 USD. Christ, that shit is MINE! Probably going to get the first Mafia too since I never played it.
Also, anyone who hasn't got Zeno Clash. Get it! it 3.75 USD! It's a good game!
Also, Medal of Honor for 30 USD is still not even close to worth it. BAH.
-
Just saw Half Life 2 for £1.50, seems like the perfect time to buy it if you havnt got it already.
