A DRM that requires a constant internet connection for the PoP games that I was just about to buy...

that fucking sucks

Which are you talking about? The pretty one where you can't die? That was completely DRM free at release. UBI didn't go back and add stuff, did they?

No, no, no: It's not every PoP game that uses UBI DRM. It's only PoP: Forgotten Sands that uses it. All of the other PoP games are fine and normal. Lovingsteam didn't word his post correctly.

Mass Effect 2, 25% off. Tempting, but... EA just teased ME3, so this one is pretty much a sure thing for a daily sale. I'm thinking we'll see a 50% for that one some time this week. Or a DLC sale, maybe.

Gamersgate has Mass Effect 2 Deluxe Edition on sale for just under $16: http://www.gamersgate.com/DD-ME2DDE/mass-effect-2-digital-deluxe-edition

The daily sale might go cheaper, but if it doesn't this could be a nice fallback price. It's good all week, too.

Thanks for correcting me.

I think that is only for the newest PoP game. I'm pretty sure the older ones don't have this DRM.

Edit: Nevermind... beaten!

This is great to hear. I'll just get sands of time, the two thrones and warrior within instead.

thanks

Speaking of PoP: Sands of Time, Two Thrones, or Warrior Within. Which is best? Haven't jumped on the franchise yet, figure a cheap one is a good starting point.

 

[Discotheque]

Sands of Time!

Go with Sands of Time... it is the first one but the one I liked the most.

 

[Joe Molotov]

Sands of Time is the best game. PoP 2008 has the best PC port (native 360 pad support).

Sands of Time>The Two Thrones>Warrior Within, although even that one is pretty good as long as you don't have any of the multiple game-ending bugs. The Forgotten Sands is also nice, it has some fantastic platforming, and Prince of Persia is a bit too easy but it's worth a try, you may end up really liking it. Very beautiful, too.

 

[Trent Strong]

It begins.

 

[SolarPowered]

My cousin confirmed that he would get me the THQ pack instead of CoD:BLOPS. I'll get a nice return on my Wii eventually too.

I also got the prince of persia games(first three) and BF2!

 

[BearFoo]

well, nothing for me today.

I was hoping for a few more adventure games to be on sale (other than Nancy drew & Sherlock), maybe tomorrow. I may end up getting the Sherlock v jack the ripper, as it one of few I don't own.

 

[vocab]

Asked in the SMB thread but might as well ask here too.

Might be missing some of the .Net framework/visualc++ that comes with the game.

I'm going to need a European version, though. Will the Steam version pick up my ME1 save? So many half-done sidequests... Should really make a ME2 ready playthrough instead.

 

[Smash88]

I am honestly fucking crazy.... I own BFBC2 on the PC already, but I'm getting it on Steam.

Gabe has me by the nuts! :lol

 

[Joe Molotov]

After talking about only spending $70~ last year, I've already spent more than $170 this year on the first day. All aboard the failboat, toot toot!

 

[Shafto]

Well, so far, i've:

Double-dipped on Battlefield: Bad Company 2 - £6.79
P.B. Winterbottom - £0.39 (Amazing!)

and something I haven't seen mentioned:

Blueberry Garden - £0.79 http://store.steampowered.com/app/29160/

So that's a Day One total of £7.97. Which is about what I'd pay for a decent lunch.

Steam is the greatest enabler of video game addiction i've ever been fortunate enough to lay eyes on. Feed my habit Gabe.

 

[nexen]

Wait, wait, wait ... all this adrenaline has given me the attention span of a gnat.
Do the original 3 PoP games have decent gamepad support or not?

 

[Dacvak]

Well, I bought so much (and so many gifts for other people) that my credit card company put my card on hold because it thought it was stolen.

I should have taken that as a sign to stop, but I guess I'll just fuck up the other cards I have, too.

Bring on day two!

They have shite pad support, you have to use Xpadder and hope for the best.

 

[toastyToast]

Just Super Meat Boy for today. I only have 4 things that I want to buy

Spoiler

that I know of

 

[Popeofchilitown]

Just bought Super Meat Boy because it's on a lot of people's game of the year list. Don't have a gamepad but maybe i'll try to use street fighter 4 stick :lol

 

[mattiewheels]

It's sad that the Bethesda pack doesn't make sense for me, since I have the GOTY Oblivion and Morrowind, and don't want Rogue Warrior anywhere near my games list.

Does anyone know about the Runaway games? They're super cheap, is the first the best, or did it get better as it went along?

 

[trinest]

Picked up Meatboy and Odd World pack.

 

[Toonami 99]

Just Super Meat Boy for today.

This. Really glad I waited.

 

[Shadow780]

BFBC2
Super Meat Boy
PoP 2008

THAT'S IT, I'M HOLDING IT OFF!

 

[Fox318]

I picked up the Bethesda pack, should I play Morrowind or Oblivion first?

Any good mods to start off with?

 

[ChoklitReign]

Why is Prince of Persia SOT in slow motion?

This has happened to me before, it's equal part amusing and frustrating. It's the reason I love the Steam wallet, I dump a lump sum in the account so the credit card company doesn't go nuts at all the little charges.

Might be worth putting a warning about this in the OP!

 

[RedSwirl]

The Jedi Knight games are on the low, what do I need guys?

 

[LOZLINK]

Can anyone help me out and gift me bfbc2 and I'll paypal you money? Aus prices are higher. Hope this isn't breaking the rules of the thread, if so, I'll gladly edit it out

I had completely missed that pack until about five minutes ago. I WANT IT BAD, but the other four packs are already too tempting and way too good on a price per game basis.

I'll probably buy both GOTY versions of Oblivion and Fallout 3 later on next year.

 

[Joe Molotov]

Does anyone know about the Runaway games? They're super cheap, is the first the best, or did it get better as it went along?

They're both decent but not great point-and-click adventure games. The first games is probably the best because you get to hang out with some drag queens and their desert van, Priscilla, Queen of the Desert style.

 

[Bigfoot]

They have shite pad support, you have to use Xpadder and hope for the best.

I keep reading conflicting reports of this. Some say it works great with the 360 controller after initial set-up of binding keys to buttons. I've seen this in this thread and in the Steam forums. I'm not sure how other gamepads work.

I bought Sands of Time and have a Wireless 360/PC controller so I'll find out myself in a few hours when I get home.

 

[Snuggles]

The Jedi Knight games are on the low, what do I need guys?

I personally enjoyed Jedi Academy. Best lightsaber combat in any game and the force powers are satisfying. So worth $5, I'll have to get it.

 

[Coverly]

Super Meat Boy
Music Indie Pack
Titan's Quest x 2 to play with my wife

Those sales, wow. Talk about starting out strong!

 

[enzo_gt]

Has Xpadder gotten any better since? I haven't used it for a year, and if you add more than one 360 controller at a time the entire program goes to shits. =/

 

[kuYuri]

Quick question, does F.E.A.R. natively support widescreen resolutions, specifically 1920x1080?

At that price, I'm definitely getting that (played it and the expansions first on 360) and F.E.A.R. 2 Reborn DLC, I already own F.E.A.R. 2.

 

[hamchan]

Only Super Meat Boy for me. Hooray.

 

[Grayman]

The Jedi Knight games are on the low, what do I need guys?

I would get the whole pack. I played Academy this year. The single player was not as fun as I remember Outcast but it has more sabre styles and gets into jedi ass kicking faster. May as well get Dark Forces as well. The only downside to dark forces is that there is not a modern engine for it like DOOM and Duke3D.

I was thinking about buying this until I saw that it's in the THQ pack that I'll be getting in a couple of days.

Thank god for those notifications.:lol

[BobsRevenge]

I knew Super Meat Boy would be a mistake. Goddamn it. At least it didn't cost much.

 

[Gaogaogao]

uhh, so would I be better off playing the new ps3 version?

 

[storafötter]

I was wondering about what people think of the other games in the 2d Pack, very tempted as I want to get Geometry Wars and VVVVV. Was tempted to dip on the previous Titan Quest deals, but now there is no excuse not to . Looking forward to play with my girlfriend

 

[Dacvak]

What the fuck is this shit!?

 

[mattiewheels]

They're both decent but not great point-and-click adventure games. The first games is probably the best because you get to hang out with some drag queens and their desert van, Priscilla, Queen of the Desert style.

I heard things about those games, guess I'll have to check that first Runaway out then :lol

Also, am I weird for just buying FEAR 1 for $2.50 rather than getting both? What I played of the second left me kinda cold, someone love it?
