Bloodlines.

I have been looking at that fucking $19.95 price for ages.

Just pisses me off that a game that old is still 20 bucks.

Well apparently, this game is actually worth $20. I wouldn't know, just going on what I've heard.

My Steam crashed during the transaction, but I have it on my list.

Check your library just to be sure?

 

[Psy-Phi]

Bought Meat Boy just fine, was in such a hurry I didn't even realize it was a pre-purchase . Will stave off the desire to run home immediately until next Tuesday.

 

[Air Zombie Meat]

My Steam crashed during the transaction, but I have it on my list.

Not in the library, the error comes up at the very first part of the transaction.

Same.

Well, at least it's not just me. I'm in the UK by the way.

edit: bah, now it's just saying this: There has been an internal error initializing your transaction. Please contact support for assistance.

Oh well, I'll try again later.

 

[JADS]

What is the online co-op system exactly? Is it integrated with Steam friends?

It has matchmaking (It seems that no one is playing the game ) and you can invite friends from steam to play a private game. Pretty cool and awesome stuff, bit sad that it wasn't there during release.

Bought SMB

now to wait

 

[Oreoleo]

Odds of SMB being less than $10 during the holiday sale?

I thought the same thing and decided to say screw it. It'll be $2 tomorrow -_-

 

[Stallion Free]

I'm waiting until SMB goes up to the full 15$ to buy it because he is the kind of indie dev I want to support the shit out of.

[Stumpokapow]

buy it for ten dollars and send them a donation, they'll get more out of it and you'll probably get a personalized email or merchandise or some shit in return.

o/*

i bought super meat boy #1 for 10 bucks on his store, i've done my part!

 

[Archie]

I'm going to double dip on SMB so I guess Team Meat is getting $20* from me. :3

*Excluding obvious XBLA/Steam royalties. So maybe closer to $12 or something?

 

[legend166]

I'm totally getting in on a Just Cause 2 8 pack.

 

[vocab]

Blah. Steam anit letting me pre order SMB.

"Your transaction failed because you are trying to buy a game that requires ownership of another game you do not currently own. Please correct the error and try again."

[Servbot #42]

Thanks for LovingSteam for bringing us all info about the crazy packs, they look so damn crazy i can't help but feel they are some sort of mistake on Valve's part then again....

 

[wolfmat]

So far, meh.

 

[drizzle]

Super Meat Bought!

Now it's the waiting game. For both the Black Friday deals and SMB release.

Ok, so I guess this is the year of Steam NeoGAF gathering sales? Because who the hell has 8-10 friends to share a game?

People are just going to buy and sell the keys for profit after the sale, aren't they?

 

[BuddhaRockstar]

Super Meat looks fun but I know as an indie game on Steam it will be down to $2 or pay what you want in like 2 months :lol

 

[Shaneus]

Wait, are they up or are they just that list that's been posted?

 

[Air Zombie Meat]

Nice, SMB preorder went through so whatever the problem was it seems to have been fixed.

 

[kamspy]

As a dude with limited funds at the moment, these packs don't excite me very much.

I just want a cheap digital copy of Alpha Protocol.

Pretty good digital sale on Amazon right now. (if you need a digital discount fix)

http://www.amazon.com/gp/bestseller...=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=1WCKXAG8DZEH38XNZY9R#1

SC Conviction, Bad Company 2 and Mass Effect 2 are $15
Dead Space is $10
Trine and Penumbra Collection are $5

Alpha Protocol is on Sale for $15 on GamersGate. I'd imagine that Steam will have it for that price or lower during one of the two upcoming sales.

 

[Weenerz]

Do we know what the cost will be per person in the Splinter Cell Conviction 6 person pack? I guess I'll get it then. DRM be damned.

 

[ClovingWestbrook]

There will be 6 indie packs. Each will have about 4-5 games and look pretty good.

 

[K.Jack]

I'm totally getting in on a Just Cause 2 8 pack.

I'm reserving my spot now, in the GAF Just Cause 2, 8-pack.

 

[Shaneus]

Everyone get on JC2. After I upgraded my PC and playing with all options on high/very high it looks amazing. Grappling a guy to the back of your motorcycle and riding around is priceless :lol

 

[gotee12]

I'm reserving my spot now, in the GAF Just Cause 2, 8-pack.

Do we know yet how much the packs will be? What have they been in the past?

 

[TheFightingFish]

8 and 12 player packs? For single player games? That seems really odd. I understand it for multiplayer games but it really doesn't make sense here. Does it maybe mean that it's part of a bigger pack instead of an 8-pack by itself?

 

[Roofy]

would it make sense that the just cause 2 8 pack is referring to dlc packs as well?

 

[X05]

Nope, im in South America and i dont get the Rockstar games for example.

FYI, we actually have Episodes from Liberty City available (the only R* game, so I'm guessing it's a mistake xD),

Hey, that makes total sense. Much more sense than a 12 pack for Just Cause 2.

 

[Javaman]

I'm reserving my spot now, in the GAF Just Cause 2, 8-pack.

Add me to the list too!

 

[graywolf323]

wow these packs are reaching ridiculous sizes

 

[kswiston]

Do we know yet how much the packs will be? What have they been in the past?

Past 4-packs have typically been 20-30% cheaper per unit then the price of a single game. Brand new games are usually 30 something dollars instead of $50. If they start releasing 8-12 packs, maybe the volume discount will be larger?

Super Meat looks fun but I know as an indie game on Steam it will be down to $2 or pay what you want in like 2 months :lol

It's Super Meat Boy (SMB for short). And it is teh eveolution of the original free flash game on PC through Newgrounds called "Meat Boy" before it hit XBLA. No, I dont think it will be "just a regular ol' indie game" that drops down to $2... because it's not, it's eveolved into much more than that.

-It had an amazing release on XBL Arcade... so amazing that the developers (Team Meat) cut a deal with Microsoft to release the game at a sale price of 10 bucks (800 MS, down from 1200MS). This was historic because it was the first time a game was ever released on Xbox Live Marketplace at a discounted price.

-Team Meat were even able to build a system into the game where they could bypass the "customer having to pay for DLC because MS will charge the devs for Title Updates" thing, by adding a scripting mechanism into the game that allowed the developer to add new 20-level worlds at their leisure. So far 2 20-level worlds have been released already for free, they are amazing and there are at least 3 more whole worlds to come.

TL;DR: Check out the official Super Meat Boy Thread if you haven't already.

one of us. one of us. one of us. :lol

 

[Caesar III]

SMB bought. It's 9,39€ here lol. What an odd price.

And those multi packs sound really odd. I don't know.

 

[Dice]

I'd probably be in for some cheap Puzzle Quest 2 action if others want in on the 10 pack. I might also nab Blur, The Last Remnant, Dead Rising 2, or Tomb Raider Underworld if they were under $10 (if they all were I wouldn't be able to get all, and it'd suck), but I mostly just want DA:O Ultimate for $25 or less. If I got that, I would probably just get one other game for cheap. Money is tight these days.

Didn't they say that the xbox free levels won't show up on the PC version (I think it's called "Teh Internets"?), but that since there's a level editor, somebody would be able to build them?

That kind of sucks.

 

[Visualante]

There will be 6 indie packs. Each will have about 4-5 games and look pretty good.

Depends how they are structured but that sounds like too many. Especially for those of us who own one or two of the games in a pack already.

 

[trinest]

Next up: Bejeweled 3 24-pack

For you and 23 of your closest friends.

I so might go for that if there was going to be a GAF list of it.

 

[evlcookie]

Another deathspank for the same price? What the hell. So it's 2 different games i guess? Kinda like episode 1 / 2 ?

... yes? Was that not obvious?
