[IrishNinja]

oh god, i wake up to this.

GAF:

1) do i want penumbra: black plague gold, or overture? or the collector's?

2) anyone play Winter Voices? shit's on the cheap right now, but it seems you cant play them by single episodes, not sure if its worth $7.50

3) ok, i was only mildly curious about P.B. Winterbottom, but fiddy cents its hard to not give it a go. any other dirt cheap titles you guys recommend?

 

[Oreoleo]

It works fine with the wireless 360 pad.

Not if you don't have the wireless receiver

 

[Sgt.Pepper]

Was this posted? the Deus Ex Collection is 2.99$

http://store.steampowered.com/sub/296/

Yeah. It's in the OP.

 

[Metalic Sand]

Going to set myself a $50 limit like others. $19.22 for today, Not looking so good for me.

Really hoping for Chaos Rising to hit a good sale.

 

[SilverLunar]

Yeah. It's in the OP.

Pretty sure i read the OP but there are too much sales :lol

So far i only got Super Meat Boy.

looking at Titan Quest and the Indie 2D pack, though not sure about the quality of them.

 

[robatw]

50$ limit for me...

Day 1: Super Meat Boy - 3,75$


But i am also kinda interested in PoP 2008 and the original Peggle.

 

[BloodySinner]

Anyone who does not own Bad Company 2 has no excuse to own it right now.

But everyone says the SP sucks!

I don't play multiplayer much at all

 

[thefro]

Super Meat Boy & Deus Ex Collection for me so far. Under $7

$50 limit sounds good.

 

[Shambles]

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

Those sales, wow. Talk about starting out strong!

I'm assuming this game has good multiplayer functionality? The last game the woman and I played together was Sacred 2 which had a pretty wonky online setup for NA players. Your post has me interested in Titan Quest as a possible 'couples game'. Anyone else use it for this?

 

[kennah]

But I don't want it

 

[Insured]

I thought I wouldn't be instantly tempted to buy tons of shit since I own mostly all I'm interested in... So I thought, anyway. Deus ex collection, Oddboxx for me today (I actually bought munch and stranger's wrath separately since I owned the abe games from before, saved ONE CENT! SO WORTH IT). Also decided to pick up the Magic expansions since I picked the game up from the treasure hunt and loved it... I really, really doubt these will be going any lower.

Right now from the looks of it, I'll only be buying telltale stuff if sam & max season 3 or wallace and gromit go on sale cheapcheapcheap, and if the Indie Fright Pack goes on a daily deal. That's about it though, I've ALMOST won steam!

 

[SilverLunar]

Shooting war game?


Yuck!

They do if they are poor.

 

[cooljeanius]

Toki Tori got heartily recommended to me, but if you want HL2:E2 really bad... then go for it dude.
And besides TT is 1 Euro/Dollar..

Hm, that isn't really helpful... I guess I could just buy both as long as I limit myself to just those...

 

[Gaogaogao]

They do if they are poor.

sell some crap and buy that game, dammit.

 

[Shaneus]

What if you don't really get into FPS games? I never fully got into MW2 so I don't like my chances with BC2 :/

Edit: And I need someone to gift it to me (along with the FEAR pack). Just how much do you want me to play it? :lol

 

[Diablohead]

Republic Commando is half price, buy it and support good games!

 

[Loxley]

Day One:
$22.49

- Team Fortress 2 - $9.99 - Likely will go cheaper at some point, but hey, whatever.
- Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath - $7.49 - Played the demo waayyy back when, really enjoyed it but never picked up the full version, gonna dive right into it once it finishes downloading.
- Tomb Raider: Anniversary - $4.99 - Been wanting to check this out for a while.

I'm hoping for a Metro 2033 deal of the day, as well as a CoD4 price drop at some point.

 

[kamspy]

But everyone says the SP sucks!

It doesn't suck, it's just not as good as Modern Warfare.

For $6 I wouldn't hesitate even if I wasn't going to play online. Blowing stuff up is fun.

FUUUUUU! Forgot about Forgotten Sands, bankrupt total.

I wish I could have forgotten. I bought it and it's horrible. I think it's going to be the first time I push for a refund. Oh, the DRM works fine. It's the game that sucks. Avoid at all costs.

Fuck, Anniversary is cheap too? FUCK.
Edit: I don't think it's a DotD so I can miss it... for now.

 

[SilverLunar]

I remember the OddWorld game loooong ago on the PS, though i only have vague memories on them.

So how about them, are they great as i remember, or is it just vague nostalgia? which of the pack games are worth getting/not worth it??

 

[Diablohead]

anniversary is £5 in the UK lol fuck that shit, should be £2.99 if the US has it for 5 dolla...

 

[disappeared]

Is it likely Morrowind will drop below $15, or is now a good enough time to pick it up?

 

[GDJustin]

As a mac user nothing is jumping out at me yet. Eets is $2.50 and is a no-brainer at that price, but ima wait and see if its a daily. The indie brain pack also looks nice, although one of the five is win-only.

Deathspank's anemic ~30& discount pretty much guarantees it will be a daily, as well.

Beyond that, not much for a mac user to get excited about. Especially because I already own probably ~20% of *all* of Steam's mac games. :lol

Actually, some of the best deals are casual titles from Playfirst - stuff like Hotel Dash, Parking Dash, DinerTown Tycoon, etc. These aren't AAA games by any means, but they have a lot of gameplay, and can actually be pretty "hardcore" when someone goes for expert scores. My wife and I both like them.

They've been sold for $7 on Steam from the beginning, which has always been a *bit* too much. But now they're on sale for $1.75. $1.75! I know casual games aren't "exciting" but I'm probably going to end up buying ~10 of these in this sale and get more enjoyment out of them than almost anything else.

That is a TON of gameplay for under $2.

 

[Gaogaogao]

if you like multiplayer fps, bfbc2 is the best of the year.
if you don't, I can't convince you.

 

[V_Ben]

Hmm. There's a small price discrepancy for the US and UK versions of the Oddboxx. UK ends up paying roughly £1.50 more, which is kinda odd (HA.)

 

[ghst]

oh god, i wake up to this.

GAF:

1) do i want penumbra: black plague gold, or overture? or the collector's?

get the collector's pack, overture and black plague are essentially two chapters to one story.

 

[coopolon]

PB Winterbottom works perfectly with wireless 360 gamepad in case anyone else was interested.

 

[.nimrod]

Was going to buy BC2 but I figure there will be a BC2+Vietnam pack a year from now for the same price, so I'll wait.

But everyone says the SP sucks!

I don't play multiplayer much at all

The Vietnam addon is multiplayer only, no need to wait for it to drop if you're not interested in mp at all.

The singleplayer is alright, i liked it quite a bit. Just don't expect anything fancy like the COD games

 

[evil solrac v3.0]

Crap... I just f**ked up... I bought Dragon Age at 25% off, when it'll probably be 50% off tomorrow or something. I'm guessing there's no "bought this 12 hours ago, and now it's 25% cheaper" support page, is there?

what guarantee is there that it will be?

Welp, time to look for a wired 360 controller.

 

[Kilgore Trout]

So does anyone know how to remove shortcuts for Steam games on the sidebar? I just got the Civ IV pack, but the game and a few of the expansions are duplicated. One of each can be installed, but the other says the game is "not available on your current platform."

 

[Somnid]

I grabbed the Unreal pack. Nothing else really catches my eye though.

It's because of Steve Jobs.

They're the Mac versions, it's an annoying bug. The best way to deal with it is select "Installed" in the show menu at the top of the bar.

 

[Chaos]

 

[Jive Turkey]

Not if you don't have the wireless receiver

Well...I kind of figured that would be a given. Heh.

 

[Mrbob]

Been waiting for a FEAR deal. 10 bucks for the whole collection sounds good to me. Grabbed Super Meat Boy earlier.

There's nothing you can do. Deal with it.

 

[RedSwirl]

So I'm buying Stranger's Wrath in preparation for the probable HD patch and waiting for daily deals on DeahtSpank and Dragon Age Awakening.

 

[Geoff9920]

Man, really disappointed in Oddworld: strangers wraith right now. Main menu garbled text aside, it looks like a poorly emulated console game. I can't even select a real resolution... low, medium, high, & ultra are the only choices.

At the moment it's not worth the $7.50 sale price let alone the $15 normal price. And this is coming from someone who has played and enjoyed the Xbox version.

 

[Mrbob]

Do we know the deal as to why EA tends to shun Steam at times? Dragon Age Ultimate Edition had been on sale for $24.99 on Impulse yet EA only drops it to $37.49 on Steam. Oh well EA just hurting themselves by having less people buy their products.

 

[jlevel13]

Is it likely Morrowind will drop below $15, or is now a good enough time to pick it up?

wait to see if it's a deal of the day - which it probably will be.

 

[speculawyer]

Ubi better have some good daily deals. I'd like to buy some old catalog items but 25% just doesn't cut it.

 

[Des0lar]

Man what is it with transactions not working

 

[Cardigan]

Shit, this sale really makes me want to get back into PC gaming. Bought Super Meat Boy although I already have it on XBLA and my main computer is a Mac. Hopefully the Mac version will be released on Steam eventually.

 

[Minsc]

Fallout 3 GOTY $20
FEAR Pack $10
SMB $3.50

Not bad for day 1! Made the mistake of buying Fallout 3 and never getting the DLC, so now I should be able to use all the mods properly and give it a serious go!

F1 2010 will be under $5 at some point, I'll wait till then.

 

[legend166]

Super Meat Boy is hard.
