Anomaly is a good game ???

 

[Giran]

So this doesn't really have anything to do with a Daily Deal (though I will wait to see if it gets one) - but what's the GAF consensus on the newest Disciples III game? Visually it looks pretty interesting.

I really wish I was keeping up with inventory stuff

I'm a huge fan of Disciples II but the third one is really bad. Don't recommend it at all. Just a poor Heroes copycat with awful level design and strategic options. And each race has a total of about 3 music tracks that don't last longer than 2 minutes meaning the constant looping and monotonity will drive you crazy, as if the gameplay itself wasn't bad enough...

 

[I H8 Memes]

I'm free to help people non-us gaf buy games for a couple of hours. pm me your steam names if you need help.

 

[scorpscarx]

Don't forget the trading thread people.

Go there and prosper.

I found Bastion kind of dull. I was enthralled by the demo but when I actually got dug into it I had had my fill by the 2 hour mark

Also, the soundtrack is overrated.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

I asked in a separate thread but does anyone have a killing floor guest pass to gift? I want to get that achievement.

I bought it because it looked interesting but found it kind of dull. I've only played the first couple levels however. It may get better later.

 

[ElRenoRaven]

AusGaffer here interested in US Bulletstorm. Trouble is I don't have a Paypal. So um, what's an option to get it (aside from probably creating a paypal account!)?

Well you could probably find someone who would trade you it for maybe a game they want that's of similar price.

 

[Mrbob]

Personally, I love the game. My favorite tower defense game of them all. Mainly because of the twist as it is a reverse tower defense game since you are the attacking force. Well worth the couple bucks.

I liked the soundtrack and the narration was amusing. The gameplay is just boring after a while, didn't finish it.

 

[TrAcEr_x90]

sheeet, promised myself I'd get only two games......Deus EX HR and Portal 2. But that Sonic Generations is mighty tempting....I keep open up steam, lookin at hit, then remembering the vow I made with the steam sales this year.

 

[Big-E]

Someone sell me on Rock of Ages. Going to pick up Worms and maybe Rock of Ages if it is good.

 

[Deadly Monk]

The game I want the most is never on sale! Witcher 2, I want you soooooooo bad! I just can't spend more than $20 on a new game.

 

[Narag]

It's been on sale for $24 twice in the past month iirc.

...

So am I shit out of luck?

 

[MRORANGE]

wow... Sonic Generations is actually good

you really do need a dpad for the 2d sonic levels, something feels wrong with the analogue sticks as 1st generation sonic feels way to loose.

 

[Narag]

...

Might be repeated on steam. Seems to be $23.99 on gog still at least.

 

[Nelo Ice]

It's been on sale for $24 twice in the past month iirc.

It was also $16 on Amazon.

 

[Dwayne]

And I was doing so well! No purchases all sale, and then today I broke down - Sonic, Worms Golf, Bastion and Rock of Ages alm:

 

[drhankmccoyphd]

Anyone getting crash to desktop on pay day?

 

[MRORANGE]

Anyone getting crash to desktop on pay day?

try unplugging any usb devices / gamepads (just leave your mouse and keyboard in.)

 

[LiquidMetal14]

I was just having a chat with a fellow gaffer. I told him Steam is a lot like Pokemon in that you sometimes buy to collect the games. So I was thinking what if we called it

SteamKEMAN?!?!?!!?!? Anyone!!?!?!? /crickets

 

[Adnor]

Wha... what the hell??

 

[toastyToast]

SteamKEMAN?!?!?!!?!? Anyone!!?!?!? /crickets

I GOT TO BUY IT. I GOT TO BUY IT

[CadaveriaIX]

I have a spare one if you still need it.

update drivers? verify game integrity as well.

Can the GOG key be redeemed on Steam?

 

[frogg609]

I'm considering getting Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II - Complete Pack for 29.99. Each game is 50% off, and I'm not sure if it will get any lower. What does the collective think? I missed out on Space Marine, and am hoping Steam will drop it to dirt cheap again before this is all over.

Thanks!

[kai3345]

Fuck all of you getting games

All I got is some goddamn coal

 

[epmode]

I was also having weird texture issues in Sonic. I verified files and Steam has been redownloading stuff for the last hour.

 

[xenoflux2113]

If it'll make you feel better kai I can give you my 75%off AvP coupon I got. All I am getting is coal and coupons too, mostly coal.

 

[Vamphuntr]

Same for me (and coupons)

 

[Incendiary]

Man. I've been working on the gift achievements and so far all I've gotten is coal and a 50% off Farming Simulator 2011 coupon. I'm not sure it's worth it anymore, especially since I don't have a majority of the games.

 

[Adnor]

update drivers? verify game integrity as well.

I have the newest drivers and also the first level, and the first part of the second level, run without a problem, so I'm verifying the game integrity.

Anyone??

Nope.

Nope

Also, the soundtrack is overrated.

I got bored of it in less than 30 minutes. I also thought the narration was way overhyped.

 

[WanderingWind]

Is it bad that I'm thinking about getting that Farming Simulator? I mean, the WTFness of it alone has to worth a few bucks.

On another note, I'm stoked that Hard Reset went on sale. Great little FPS.

 

[Deadly Monk]

Nooooo!!!

Guess I'll wait until next year for it to drop again

 

[Sourtreats]

The sales are still on for a week. It could be a Daily Deal.

 

[Tomodachi]

The sales are still on for a week. It could be a Daily Deal.

It already has been. However, if there will be a "best of" final day (pretty sure there will be) the witcher 2 could pop up again at 40%.

 

[UltimateIke]

I think they just patched the holiday achievement into Costume Quest. Though it hasn't been a daily achievement yet, has it?

EDIT: Never mind, I see it mentioned a few pages back.

I had to set my computer clock to 25th to activate the achievement.

It has not been a daily achievement.

Yeah, same here.

[kuYuri]

Unlock the achievement in Bastion and my prize is...

Risen. Fuck yeah, something that I want for once.

 

[StAidan]

Bastion was it for me today, and with that I think I'm probably done with the Steam sale (for games that I know of). I'm interested in NFS: Hot Pursuit, but it hasn't hit that magical $5 mark, so not sure I'll end up going for it.

I saw that popped up, and I was like, eh, hey, maybe I will give this a go. I mean I like Sim City, Microsoft Train Simulator, Microsoft Flight Sim (haven't played since like the 2004 version or something), IL-2 Sturmovik, Tropico, Call to Power...ect...

I just can't spend the money on that. So other than buying Stalker, today I bought X: Superbox with basically X: Beyond the Frontier, X2: The Threat, X3: Reunion. And god help me, I am playing them in order, lol. Man, I love old-ass pc-ass games. That and Overlord and Overloard II.

I think I have spent around 20 bucks, and I am willing to shell out another 5 on games I feel like during the remaining days unless something unbelievable comes up, but I think for now, I am pretty set with PC games!

Still hate the idea of Digitally Distributed content, but I have a little faith in companies like Valve... hopefully. Plus, hey, even if I only play through maybe the first overlord and maybe only X and X2, that is still worth the 20 I have spent here.

 

[WickedCobra03]

I like it, but I have to say, I tend to like those artsy-fartsy games that are totally in left field as far as mainstream appeal, but ooze with creativeness.
