Got Burnout Paradise on sale and I keep getting this error message anyone seen it before?

Free Blops 2 weekend. Without discount? I had no idea one could do that.

 

[baconcow]

I pre-ordered Trials Evolution Gold and it still doesn't work properly with my video card. Too bad I didn't wait. Feel kinda ripped off, now.

 

[Touch]

That $5 Burnout Paradise: The Ultimate Box can not resist. :O

 

[Mengy]

The Daily is 66% off Fallen Enchantress ($10.19).

Edit: b10.

That's a real good price. I'd recommend that anyone who likes fantasy 4X games pick it up for that price, as it's worth it. It doesn't have the magic that the good old Master of Magic has for me, but it's a decent and very fun modern alternative.

I'm sure it was discounted last time. Maybe it's still coming (not that I care, playing a few hours mp for free is enough for me).

 

[Nabs]

Blops 2 is $40 (-33%)

 

[KarmaCow]

Not that it really matters too much since there is no vanilla version (and it's $5), but I think most of the DLC included in the ultimate box is no longer available since they shut down the store.

edit: nevermind I'm wrong, it does come with the advertised DLC.

 

[JaseC]

I don't think so. The description should also mention something along the lines of "Purchase before [date] and save X%!" if a discount is due.

Edit: Or not.

here it is

and it's still too expensive

This would have to be Steam's worst weekend yet. Save us, GMG!

 

[Nillansan]

Hey, the latest update for Sniper Elite: Nazi Zombie Army added drop-in drop-out co-op. Time to get those last achievements.

Thanks. I guess it is time to re-install it.

So wait, the DLC was connected to an in-game store and is actually no longer available?

 

[morningbus]

40 is only really a bad price if you're just going to play single player. Multiplayer with friends is worth more than that.

I haven't played the game since my PS3 died years ago. I'm excited! I never really buy games twice. I just loved playing this game so much.

 

[derExperte]

After playing the demo I'm actually considering buying Trials. But with the discount it costs as much as on Xbox normally. No, can't support that.

I don't really play CoD multiplayer.

I don't think that's true. I haven't played much of the game, but I distinctly recall the bikes being present.

You should give the free weekend a shot. Black Ops 2 allows for a lot of different play styles. I usually go without any weapons and just pick up whatever is on the ground, which allows me to load-up on perks.

Bikes are always there. Some of the other stuff is not. Maybe this helps? http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?p=31052482#post31052482

Sorry I misspoke. The in-game store is down but the DLC included in the Ultimate Box (Bikes, Cagney Pack and Party Pack) come with the download. I just assumed more came with the Ultimate Box but either way, you can't get any other DLC.

 

[cicero]

Maybe. There were also a few people who received the discount despite also having received all their keys, haha.

And a few got the discount, keys, and a full refund.

That thread seems to pertain to unlocking DLC not included in the Ultimate Box.

That's quite the trifecta!

Yea I was gonna ask if it's actually playable now.

Try the demo, it was added a few days ago.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Gonna need some Sanctum 2 impressions before I consider it.

 

[Aaron]

Cant decide whether to bite on fallen enchantress or wait for a deal on the stand alone expansion to it.

If you own Fallen Enchantress, the expansion is half off.

I've been playing the beta of the expansion, and it's already a big improvement in many little ways. Easily my favorite modern turn based strategy.

Coffee Stain almost had me there; I thought the TD spin-off was solely a pre-purchase incentive.

Can't hurt, I guess. It's not like I'm already wasting my time on GAF while I should be studying hahahahahaa

Oh, okay. Thanks!

 

[baconcow]

When I started it up, this last week, it gave me notice of some incompatibility with SLI and then it crashed. So, if I want to play this game, I need to disable SLI each time or play without SLI. Both sucks as my specs are well beyond the advertised specifications.

 

[MMBosstones86]

Will GG charge me now for Dishonored even though the key won't get sent for a long time?

...or should I just hope for the best during Summer Seal?

 

[Chronoja]

The front page price on Sanctum 2 is a bit deceptive. Listed as £8.99 but when you go to the store page you see it's £8.99 for the season pass and £11.99 for the game itself.

 

[JaseC]

Will GG charge me now for Dishonored even though the key won't get sent for a long time?

...or should I just hope for the best during Summer Seal?

Yes to the first question -- payment reserves you a key, essentially. As for the second, don't expect more than half off ($15).

 

[Xanathus]

They'll charge you immediately, but knowing how noncompetitive Steam's discounts have been lately I don't expect them to match that discount for a very long time.

 

[Fuu]

Do these things usually take a long time, as in days? First time I have to deal with lack of keys after purchasing so I have no idea how long it generally takes for a dev/pub to provide more.

 

[morningbus]

That actually sounds like a really fun way to play... But I probably shouldn't spend $40 on a game I'll play for two weekends then go right back to Dark Souls and Chivalry.

Play it this weekend and get it all out of your system!

For the people questioning Burnout Paradises' DLC.

The bikes are part of the game you buy from Steam, BUT there is a bunch of DLC that isnt available anymore....

25% off Trials Evolution Gold?

What is this, amateur hour?

The Island never came to the PC version (which is a shame). IMO, the only valid DLC for the PC version of Burnout Paradise were the special cars (they resembled the Octo-1, BTTF Delorean, KITT and the car from Starsky and Hutch I think). The toys cars are somewhat dumb imo. Everything else is "unlock these vehicles faster!" packs, which you can do by playing.

You can unlock the not-available-anymore DLC via a patch, afaik. There was a fairly big thread about it on the Steam Forums. Since I bought the Famous Cars pack (or whatever it's called), I never bothered.

 

[Bumhead]

Burnout Paradise Ultimate Box at £2.50 is an absolutely insane deal.

Bought so hard.

thanks guys. (Trying) to buy now.

They seem to have fixed this now.

 

[Delusibeta]

I dunno, Dishonored seems to have settled to a new permanent price of £15, so 50% off that come the Summer Seal is decidedly plausible.

 

[Chronoja]

Yeah they seem to have. Good stuff

Sanctum (free weekend) seems to be a 3rd weekend deal as well judging from the news. Claims a 75% off discount but there is no such thing.

Also seems the news has had a bit of copy pasta going on lol

How's Fallout New Vegas compared to Fallout 1 and 2? ...and is it worth getting for $10 at GG?

 

[BigBoss]

I'm having a bit of trouble with Ghostbusters, every time I try to go into the video settings menu I get this error:

The same error also pops up after playing the intro. Any help would be appreciated.

 

[Last Baron]

Is Afterfall any good?

 

[ziadoz]

I'm in the same boat. Hopefully they get some more serial keys soon.

 

[snoopeasystreet]

How's Fallout New Vegas compared to Fallout 1 and 2? ...and is it worth getting for $10 at GG?

It feels more Fallout 2 than 1 in terms of tone and it's mechanical core is just an improved Fallout 3 but it has far better quest design and writing.

This has me tempted. I had the DLC for the PS3 version. I may grab this tonight.
