The vamp gaunts are pretty savage.

Yeah, but are they worth the money, or will I be just as happy with just the game + the extra levels DLC?

 

[Flunkie]

Wow, the new Flatout looks like shit. Always had a guilty pleasure for the Flatout series, but this just looks bad.

I'm pretty sure the Flatout guys are making Ridge Racer, so this is probably done by another team.

 

[TheBear]

Is any of the Orcs Must Die DLC worth getting?

Yeah, I noticed it wasn't the same studio.

Yeah they're great.

Artifacts of power is fun. Just buy the two DLC, with the game it still comes under 5$

Steam down again?

 

[Hanzou]

Steam down again?

all good on my end

 

[Wendel Clark]

Down for me

 

[Gav47]

Earth Defense Force coming to Steam this month?!?! I'm so glad I never took the plastic off my 360 version.

I totally bought it used here from GAF.

Bummer on me. The exact same thing happened with Darksiders too.

 

[Javaman]

I don't have any of the games in the upcoming treasure hunt at first glance lol

On the plus side, if any of them interest you they'll probaby be heavily discounted dailies.

 

[Jomjom]

anyone win the daily drawing yet?

Oh hell yes.

Lol, was about to pull the trigger on Orcs Must Die and I had an urge to check out my bank account.

[Snuggles]

You have enough to buy it, I fail to see the problem.

Can't you get it without the DLC?

I am in the same boat my friend.

We can cry on each other's shoulders haha

Who needs food

 

[K.Jack]

King Arthur is #4 on Top Sellers.... these poor bastards will buy anything it seems.

Don't fall for it.

 

[balladofwindfishes]

Steam coupons, eh?

I wonder how they'll be distributed

 

[Tenck]

Yeah my gas tank is practically empty. Tomorrow it gets $4 worth of gas haha.

 

[Sinatar]

Great I can't play Saints Row 3 or Serious Same 3 in coop right now cause Steam is boned.

Awesome.

 

[Madrugador]

Steam coupons, eh?

Maybe we are going to get a lot of coupons during the next treasure hunt.

 

[Jomjom]

I would get Orcs Must Die. Food will always be there. Who knows when Orcs Must Die will go on sale again?

 

[morningbus]

4 dollars of gas will take you approximately 25 miles, depending on the fuel economy of your vehicle. And, once used, is gone forever.

Orcs Must Die is an epic fantasy adventure that brings you to lands unknown and hitherto unseen, changing your very being now and forever.

The choice is clear.

Spoiler

get the gas

 

[NBtoaster]

In 12 days?

 

[balladofwindfishes]

Maybe we are going to get a lot of coupons during the next treasure hunt.

but if a game is 75% off, I don't see why they would give you a coupon for an additional 50% off.

A new, 60 dollar game would be 23 dollars. I seriously don't see that happening.

 

[RoadHazard]

I pulled the trigger on Orcs Must Die + DLC. It's strange, when I buy something digitally €5 suddenly feels like a bit of money, while when spending the same amount on something physical it feels like nothing. Oh well! Guess I'm just not completely comfortable with buying downloads yet (although I did buy Skyrim on Steam, and I also have a fair amount of PSN games).

 

[shintoki]

In 12 days?

I don't think its going be any cheaper than it is now unless they drop MSRP down to 10$.

2nd, they could be doing these 19 days of Christmas, to clear up more room for the Winter sale. Still limited to 2 weeks, and 12 titles a day as a daily deal. Valve could be thinking of giving some coverage now to certain titles and just let them be normal sales during winter, ala 50% or less.

Orcs Must Die is one of the best less than 5$ choices you could make. It will be on my GOTY list.

Gas and food will definitely not be on my GOTY list, so the decision seems easy.

I can just hear a small voice going: "feeeeeeeeeed meeeeee". And then it died.

alas, I too know that feel, brother.

Bioshock Infinite has been added to the coming soon list: http://store.steampowered.com/app/8870/?snr=1_4_4__105_1

Since it's release will probably be mid to late 2012, this is possibly a confirmation that it's going to be a Steamworks title.

 

[Nabs]

To the wishlist you go.

 

[Smash88]

APB is now on Steam. Free to play.

 

[-PXG-]

Orcs Must Die isn't booting up....What the hell :/

 

[jaundicejuice]

Sweet, now I can add that to the wishlist I won't win.

 

[xenoflux2113]

To the wishlist you go.

Exactly.

 

[NBtoaster]

Hopefully the pc port of Infinite is better than the first game.

 

[jim-jam bongs]

What was wrong with Bioshock? I can't remember it very well at this point, I know it had the widescreen = less screen problem though. Bioshock 2 was a far more shoddy port from my memory of it.

 

[RoadHazard]

So... if I add Bioshock Infinite to my wish list now (in the top 10), and I win the draw (haha, yeah right), I'll get the game whenever it's released, right?

For me, there is a ton of microstutter, it installed the AMD dual core optimizer even though I'm not on AMD, didn't have any sound unless you did something with the windows settings and probably some other junk I forget.

Yes. The T&Cs of the contest state that currently unreleased games will be added to your account when they hit the digital shelf.

You know, now that you mention it I do recall the stutter. Also, the animation was capped at 30fps iirc, which meant that it looked a bit weird at 60fps.

 

[JaseC]

I remember excitedly installing the BioShock demo only to find myself waiting a day for a Catalyst hotfix to correct an issue with the textures not rendering correctly.

AMD™.

I've told it before here, but my Bioshock story is funny and I'm sure a couple of people haven't heard it. I was in Boston about a month before it came out, and one night I was having some drinks with friends. This guy turns up and joins us, and my mate tells me I should really talk to him, so I struck up a conversation.

After a bit of small-talk he says "Man, it's crazy, since we've been here I've seen like three ads on the TV for our game". I inquire about what the game is called and he says "oh Bioshock, have you heard of it?"

I froze. My mate started pissing himself laughing and said "yeah I'd say he probably has". It turns out the guy was Nate Wells, a senior artist at Irrational who has been there forever. What followed was me gushing shamefully and mildly drunkenly about how System Shock 2 was "the GREATEST THING EVER CREATED BY HUMAN HANDS".

He took it rather well all things considered. I decided that I had to build a new PC for Bioshock when I got back to Australia out of respect for a poor artist who had to listen to me raving at him. And so I did.

Haha great read.

So did Bioshock beat System Shock 2?

 

[xenoflux2113]

Great story JJB, I, for one, have not heard that before.
