Shit, rockstar games are blocked on my region. Can someone gift me Bully ? I am willing to gift back a 5$ game on steam.

Other than bully, i already have everything i'm interested in.

Assassin's Creed 2 on PC is beautiful, provided you have a decent internet connection. On the off chance your connection does cut out you can resume from the exact point you left off from though. Personally I found it to be useful rather than a drawback, though I can see why most feel differently.

Picking up Bully today, still hoping on a sale for Dead Rising 2.

I would pick up Assassin's Creed 2 but I can't support Ubisoft's DRM decision.

Nothing me for today too.

So far:
Sands of Time
SMB
PB Winterbottom
Lara
Puzzle Quest

It was hard but I passed on Burnout yesterday because I think I would enjoy it more on a console. If the $5 deal returns the last day, it might be difficult to restain myself.

Most of the ThanksGiving and Haloween deals have been better or the same than the holiday sales. Thank god, otherwise i'd be furious!

Nothing for me today, recettear is a great deal for people who missed the indie pack containing during the thanksgiving sale and Just Cause 2 is excellent. CoD4 is a terrible deal though imo.

I had my eye on CoD4 for a long time, and I picked it up over thanksgiving. It may be older than many other games that are cheaper, but it's a still a good price for an excellent game, and I have not seen it cheaper on Steam.

More than half of today's deals are great deals on great games, but I already own all the games I want other than Assassin's Creed 2, and my crappy wifi card means that I lose internet access all the time, so I can't play it (not that I am crazy about paying anyone who implements such an evil drm scheme.)

Fuck every single one of those assholes who critized me for buying AC2 at launch but are now buying because its cheap.

To everybody else buy Assassin's Creed II: Deluxe Edition - its has the best extra maps in the game.

Would of bought AC2 for 12.99 (bite price) but I played AC on the 360 and not the PC so I can't get the cheaper price. Yea $2. Pass!

No it isn't. C'mon, support the guys who took a real risk localising it!

And why are people buying non-daily deals before the last day of the sale...?!

Is that monkey island pack any good? I was thinking of gifting it to a friend
Click to expand...
yes yes and yes.

Just Cause 2 looks very tempting at $7.50... i know it has a large fanbase on gaf.

so, gaf... are the missions and the story any good or is it one of those sandbox games that are awesome for all the other things in the game (like Prototype)? will help me make my purchase decision.

Well I got it as part of a Call of Duty pack for $30 that included Call of Duty, Call of Duty 2, Call of Duty: United Offensive, Call of Duty World at War & Call of Duty 4. So yeah I guess I'm a bit biased :lol .

It's confusing that they "individual price" on one of these pages is the after sale price but the package price is regular price (then reduced by the "daily deal" line)

It's funny because I have a stable net connection and I put 30ish hours into Splinter Cell Conviction and Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands and I didn't have a single issue. They also saved my game to the cloud.

Haven't bought a damn thing so far.

Couple of temptations, but compared to the last couple of years, steam seem quite conservative with their prices. The only games that really seem to be hitting impulse-buy levels are the indie games.

Hey should I play AC1 before I play AC2? If so, I might just hold out on it for now.

Also contemplating Just Cause 2 and Bully. Any cons why I shouldn't buy these? :p

There was a CoD pack during... the summer sale? that had CoD 1+exp, 2, MW, and WOW (I think this was the bundle) for $25. Glad I bought it then. Also glad I got that $5 indie pack with Racettar last month.

Assassin's Creed II
Spore Complete
Trials 2

$34.49

That's another 3 knocked off the wishlist!

The PC version of Bully is fantastic, by the way. It had the same issues as the 360 version on release, but it's all patched up and good to go now.

Gonna pick up Bully, been waiting a long time for it to go on decent sale, refuse to pay more because of all the rumored bugs and crashes. And I am now strangely trying to decide between Just Cause 2 or Railworks 2.

Bully is great.

And go with Just Cause 2.

Pulled the trigger on Bully, AC3, and Spore.

I am on the fence with Just Cause 2. It would take very little to push me over the edge on that one.

Was it $25? Thought I paid $30 for it.

[EDIT] Nope it was $30.

I was actually just thinking that if MW was cheap enough I might buy it. At $10 I might not have a second thought but I'm still on the fence. Do people still play the Multiplayer for it?

Also, count me in as one for not buy AC2 because of the ridiculous DRM.

How is Trials 2?
