Missed the witcher and Deus Ex collection.

Thinking about Stalker and GTA4 pack at the moment.


Oh, and the unreal deal pack from the UK. Or does that go on sale quite regular?

A heads up you can pick up The Witcher on amazon.com for 5 bucks. I just did. Waited for steam to put it up again and they didn't so I went to amazon. Good day.

 

[Mairu]

Where do you guys go on steam to see the recent purchases list? Even though I'm afraid to look at how much total I spent :lol

[Reikon]

$46.46 USD + $10 USD for Heroes of Newerth

Spent more than I should have.

But Arma2 + Operation Arrowhead are $12.50 for both on Amazon.

[old manatee]

I spent $100 on games and then $400 upgrading my pc halfway through the sale. If I ever run into Based Gabe that fool is buying me a sandwich.

Trying not to buy VVVVVVVVVVVV.

Oh god same, my buddy is raving about it. I have Super Meat Boy and love the challenge, but I don't know about VVVVVVVVVVVV. I'm normally fine with bland + indie style, but SMB is amazing not just for the gameplay but for the quirkiness and visuals. It was making me laugh so much just a minute ago.

I re-totaled my Steam purchases and I'm actually $10 short of my budget. Should I buy it gaf, SHOULD I?!

 

[epmode]

I cant guarantee that this will work with a controller but it does make mouse controls nice and smooth.

That does absolutely nothing for the dead zone on the pad controls. And he's right, it's very noticeable. I just got used to it.

You might already know what he's talking about but just in case: You have to push the analogue stick pretty far before Dead Space will respond to a command. Makes aiming harder than it should be. But again, I just got used to it.

 

[Carm]

I asked this yesterday but didn't get a response. Is Neverwinter Nights 2 Platinum fully patched out of the gate or will I need to downloade from Steam then start up their patching client? I'm willing to pay 10 bucks to never have to patch it again.

I will not address your concerns because they suck. Just go ahead and buy it.

Someone should update the OP saying today the last day.

 

[Weenerz]

For the final day, I ended up buying the Hitman collection. Done and done!

 

[corn_fest]

Pretty good sale this year.

Ignore the $5.00 I stupidly spent on TF2 keys (never again!)
Also spent around $9.00 on gifts.

Thanks for the heads up on this... I already own Director's Cut on Wii (paid full price) and PC (paid 5 bucks) but I can't argue with free. :lol

 

[Mairu]

oh my GOD I ended up spending $245.93 :lol

Now to stop buying games for a long time and spend the next year playing all of them until Steam Holiday Sale 2011.

I went a little overboard this sale. :lol

AFAIK, all Steam games are patched on their servers, and you actually re-download the patched files. There's never any patching process happening on your end.

So yes, to answer your question, if you downloaded Neverwinter Nights today, it would be the most recent version. When/If an update comes out, the files on the server will be changed (updated) and those files will be downloaded to your computer - and that's where Steam and Huge-Ass container files fail.

Company of heroes has all the voices stored in one single compressed 2 gigabyte file. If a patch ever touches that file, even if you're only changing a 200kb file inside that huge 2gigabyte file, you'll have to re download the entire 2gb file (because Steam is only aware of file changes, not files inside files changes).

It's a small price to pay for not having to patch stuff manually ever again, it's only applicable to a handful of games, and how often do patches change big resource files, like movies and/or audio?

Oh well. $26 is worth it to me for both games, and to have them on Steam

 

[aznpxdd]

Spent ~$70 this time around.

 

[scitek]

Total on Steam = $100.41

$29.99 of it was just Hot Pursuit and counting packs like the Oddboxx, I ended up with 21 games.

http://store.steampowered.com/app/38720/

Yes, in fact I double dipped (continued PC support with new levels had me interested). There is even a demo. Its similar to chu chu rocket in the sense you place arrows to get stuff from point a to point b so if you liked the puzzle mode of that its a must have. Gets tough too.

 

[Quake1028]

Big money :lol .

 

[mikekennyb]

Oh god same, my buddy is raving about it. I have Super Meat Boy and love the challenge, but I don't know about VVVVVVVVVVVV. I'm normally fine with bland + indie style, but SMB is amazing not just for the gameplay but for the quirkiness and visuals. It was making me laugh so much just a minute ago.

You MUST buy it. VVVVVV is a fantastic and amazing piece of software, and I prefer it to SMB.

Ended up with:

Mass Effect 2
AI War + Charity Expansion
Empire/Napoleon Pack
Age of Rome
Children of the Nile
Ion Assault
Lara Croft
Company of Heroes (double dipped)
Bioshock 2
King Arthur

Damages total up about $65, or the price of a new 360 game plus tax. Pretty satisfied.

 

[dani_dc]

For anyone wondering if they should buy VVVVVV or not, I recommend you to buy it, but if you're really in doubt about it you should just try the demo here.

Damn, I was hoping for Far Cry and/or Swords and Soldiers HD to come back in the last day :lol

Well those will have to wait until the next sale I suppose.

Still going to pick a few last games before seeing how much the damage was.

With that in mind, could anyone make a case in favour/against this packs:
Indie Future Pack
Indie Brain Pack

 

[Dwayne]

Can anyone comment on what the best value indie packs are? I've left them to the last day, but can't decide :O

 

[Stabby McSter]

$104.96

...

 

[Big B]

Indie Kids Pack is the best only because of Crayon Physics, which is normally $20, and toki-tori. I hate physics but now I'm obsessed with that game.

you had me at CHU CHU ROCKET

You should buy all of them. It's only $75.

 

[brain_stew]

Any replacement for the "ultimate graphics tweak" for Episodes to Liberty City? I don't want to lose the post effects but blurring the whole image is just stupid and looks terrible. Really annoying as both options look nasty.

 

[biocat]

Spent $118.69. Seems about average for this kind of sale.
My list includes a few games a hardly remember even buying. :lol

 

[matmanx1]

My first Steam sale experience and it's been a total blast to take part in. I can honestly say that I got everything I really wanted with this sale and it's been really fun to pull up steampowered.com on a daily basis to see what new gems would appear. I ended up with 8 full games plus expansions for $80 and enough gaming content to last me for months. Here's the breakdown:

Titan Quest Gold: $4.99
Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light: $5.10
Mass Effect: $9.99
Mass Effect 2 Digital Deluxe: $19.99
Crysis Warhead: $4.99
Stalker CoP + SoC: $4.99
Divinity II The Dragon Knight Saga: $19.99
Neverwinter Nights II Platinum: $9.99

I'm already knee deep in the first Mass Effect and will likely finish it just in time for my new PC build. After that, I'll pick something off my Steam Library that I'm in the mood for (maybe Warhead to break in the new PC) and go from there. All in all, it's been a fantastic sale for me.
