is AvP any good?

not really

 

[Yeef]

Well bought Bully. I hope all of you are happy.

Edit: Wait, since when do I have Penumbra and why...

Penumbra's been on sale a bunch of times. It's also been in a few bundles, including the first Humble Bundle.

 

[ltse1]

So far, I gotten:

Winterbottom ($.50)
Blueberry Garden ($1)
The Witcher ($5)
Humble Indie #2, #1 ($10)

I'm pretty happy with this and won't buy anything else this sale

 

[Zombie James]

Bought RailWorks 2... I don't know how I feel.

 

[gregor7777]

not really

It's an OK Aliens v Predator game.

 

[Lostconfused]

including the first Humble Bundle.

Ah yeah that's probably it.

 

[Monroeski]

I decided to say fuck it and go wild. Recattear, Just Cause 2, and Bully SE(Based on Stumps)

I'm just trying figure out how to rationalize it for me :lol

As I tell people fairly often: Yes, I buy a bunch of games I don't have time to play, but I enjoy having a lot of options available to me, and if my biggest vice is that I buy a lot of video games for super cheap prices then I'm not doing all that badly overall.

 

[ismaboof]

Bought RailWorks 2... I don't know how I feel.

I'm considering buying it just to crash stuff

 

[seady]

Are none of these games playable on Mac?
I know they have a separate sale for Mac games, but I thought some of these games have a Mac version, like CoD4.

 

[LCfiner]

Bought RailWorks 2... I don't know how I feel.

ditto.

I’m gonna boot it up in a few minutes.


If I start buying DLC, I may need to cancel my credit card

 

[rohlfinator]

The Sims 3, huh... just when I was starting to get my wishlist under control. :/

those that are buying railworks i sure as hope you're buying the DLC.
$525.36.

and all that was 50% off :lol

I'm not buying it until it hits $400 or less. I have standards, you know.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

It's an OK Aliens v Predator game.

okay. I'll pass, then.

Just Bully and Zuma for me today. (Zuma was one of my original XBLA addictions)

 

[SolarPowered]

Does anyone know if Tropico might end up as a daily deal?

I don't see it in the mega packs and I'd like to save money wherever I can at this point. We're getting closer and closer to the end days of the sale and I just know that steam is gonna throw everything it's got at me.:lol

welp. snuggler's post in this thread convinced me to buy JC2

Mindlog and BobRevenge got me interested in X-COM and Tropico too.

 

[Truespeed]

Well I just saw Unstoppable so I just had to pick up Railworks 2. Mark my words, trains will crash into each other and derail. I've always wanted this game and the price made it an instant buy. R2 is the successor to Microsoft Train Simulator, right?

BTW, if anyone bought a gift copy of Lara Croft GOL for $3.60 and wants to sell it I'd really like it.

 

[ismaboof]

Railworks is the #8 seller right now

 

[rohlfinator]

I know they have a separate sale for Mac games, but I thought some of these games have a Mac version, like CoD4.

Looks like the Monkey Island pack and Day of Defeat for today. And the last "page" on the site is the ongoing Mac deals.

 

[John]

It's an OK Aliens v Predator game.

i couldn't stand the human campaign or its offensively bad script, but i started the predator camp today and it's not so bad. the mouse still feels weird, and the melee combat doesn't make any sense to me, and whenever there's any effects animation over the screen my mind totally blanks from it distorting the view too much, but it's kind of fun, almost

 

[shintoki]

So how is Clones? I don't see any discussion on the Indie deal of the week and curious, (Downloading demo now heh)

 

[LiK]

Recettear in my cart. shall i bite? is it good?

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

Don't be fooled. It's lame.

 

[Majima Everywhere System]

I just bought Recettear. Should I hold out to buy Dawn of War II? Does anyone think it will go lower than 50% off?

 

[SolarPowered]

Recettear in my cart. shall i bite? is it good?

It's fantastic if you want a game that'll keep a steady difficulty or if you want a game that will provide several hours of entertainment per dollar.

The humor is good, the characters are decent and the item shop system is interesting and rather deep for a game with it's presentation.

BUY IT

 

[Fredescu]

R2 is the successor to Microsoft Train Simulator, right?

Technically, Railworks 2 is the sequel to the successor (RW1) to the successor (Rail Simulator) of Microsoft Train Simulator.

 

[Zaraki_Kenpachi]

What's a good game that is $4.99?

 

[gregor7777]

Yeah, the script and VA is atrocious

Still, it's worth $5 to go running from Aliens.

damn you're good. bought.

 

[Goon Boon]

I just bought Recettear. Should I hold out to buy Dawn of War II? Does anyone think it will go lower than 50% off?

It was about $6 or $7 earlier this year, probably will hit atleast that.

 

[Dug]

What's a good game that is $4.99?

Deus Ex: Game Of The Year Edition, if you don't own it already.

 

[Owzers]

i think i'm going to wait for Spore to be $5 sometime....../cheap

 

[Majima Everywhere System]

It was about $6 or $7 earlier this year, probably will hit atleast that.

Darn. I'm sorry I missed it. I'll wait then, thanks!

 

[smurfx]

i wish counterstrike source was on special.

 

[Zaraki_Kenpachi]

Deus Ex: Game Of The Year Edition, if you don't own it already.

I do sadly.

Is Swords and Soldiers HD any good?

 

[GillianSeed79]

The mp is where it shines. The sp is mediocre. It's not grounbreaking, but the mp is unique enough to be entertaining. The infection mode provided a lot of laughs, especially if your friends didn't know you were the alien. Trophy kills were awesome too.

 

[DJ_Lae]

Bought RailWorks 2... I don't know how I feel.

Same. Though I don't know why I bought it at all.

 

[Dug]

I do sadly.

Is Swords and Soldiers HD any good?

Uh, Audiosurf maybe?

 

[Zaraki_Kenpachi]

Uh, Audiosurf maybe?

I have that too.

 

[SolarPowered]

damn you're good. bought.

I'm a good steam lackey.

:3

What's a good game that is $4.99?

The indie beat pack is the best value on steam right now for $5 in my opinion. If you want a single game then I'd recommend Half life 2 or Bioshock. One of them is basically the face of PC gaming for the younger folks while the other is one of the best games to come out of the HD generation.

Take your pick

 

[Dug]

I have that too.

Just look through this

 

[Sinatar]

is AvP any good?

The new one? I enjoyed it well enough. Game is drop dead gorgeous if you have a kickass DX11 card too.

 

[Chiggs]

Just Cause 2 is so cheap! Should I go for it?

 

[Zaraki_Kenpachi]

Just look through this

Ya, I finally figured out how to sort by price. I couldn't find it before. I forgot I don't have Tomb Raider Anniversary which is $4.99. Thanks.

 

[jambo]

I found the Alien campaign in AvP a LOT of fun. Running along the walls and ceiling is ace!

 

[Dug]

Just Cause 2 is so cheap! Should I go for it?

Yes, game is awesome.

 

[Dreohboy]

What's a good game that is $4.99?

Red Faction Guerilla. Worth every penny I spent last Christmas.

oh....you mean NOW.

 

[Somnid]

My girlfriend just bought Civ 4 on Steam but for some reason the game and expansion packs appear twice in her library. Anyone got an idea on how to fix this?

 

[Ceebs]

Ya, I finally figured out how to sort by price. I couldn't find it before. I forgot I don't have Tomb Raider Anniversary which is $4.99. Thanks.

Excellent choice! Playing Guardian of Light makes me want to go back to it for a real Tomb Raider game.

 

[Fredescu]

The dupes are the Mac versions I believe. It's always done that and probably always will since it's been around for so long. Your best bet is to create a junk category and put the double ups in there.

 

[Blizzard]

My girlfriend just bought Civ 4 on Steam but for some reason the game and expansion packs appear twice in her library. Anyone got an idea on how to fix this?

That's "normal" since the Mac and Windows versions show up separately. You can make a Mac games category and move them into there if you like. Then you can just collapse that category in the client.

*edit* TOO SLOW

 

[TouchMyBox]

So I just bought Assassin's Creed 2 today on steam.

I felt like uploading a video to youtube.

 

[jaundicejuice]

Hmm, second day in a row that there's nothing appealing to me. I think it's getting to the point that, outside of new releases, I own most everything I'm interested in owning on Steam.
