I would trade the tent I camp in for five dollars.

 

[Castor Krieg]

I will go with "don't want even for free".

 

[MRORANGE]

Do you think mw2 will be cheaper on the Christmas sale?

50% is the average discount price that Activison does for it's games if gets any cheaper it would be from a battle chest like in the previous sales.

Thanks, you just reminded me that GoG are giving away Empire Earth Gold.

So today I decided to finally play more than 15 minutes of The Witcher 2 and noticed that CDPR still haven't fixed the issue of the Steam overlay no longer working.

It's been over two months since they rolled out TW2's 2.0 update.

Steam overlay works fine on my GOG version of TW2

Waves $4.99 on the developer's store page. Comes with a steam code.

If you save just for the Steam sales all year, you don't have to worry about 5$ breaking the budget. Heh.

After ordering my controller and pre-ordering that bundle (which I don't regret at all!) I only have $11 to spend now.

DS3 is solid enough. Game runs well and plays well, but its nothing special. Its definitely Obsidian's least ambitious game, but most bug free.

Based on the demo, I hate the SUPER CONSOLE menus and it feels so cramped, even outside something about the level design was suffocating me. I did like the art style other than that feeling, though.

Yeah, I came across that general fact, which makes CDPR's sloth-like pace toward fixing the Steam version even stranger.

As an aside, I suck terribly at The Witcher 2, so my inclination to play it has dwindled.

That's basically why its solid. Easily skippable, but reasonably enjoyable if you do decide to play it. The gameplay is decent, but there isn't really any depth or exploration. 5$ seems like a pretty low entry point for the risk.

jeyne kassynder shall be engraved into your memories.

 

[senahorse]

$15 for Modern Warfare 2? Blah. $5-$7.50 or gtfo


Im actually shocked that $15 isn't its non-sale price. Who in the world buys this game at $30?

$45 in the Australian store. It's normal price here is $90 USD...

 

[ashbash159]

What is the chance of Saints Row: The Third being on sale in the Christmas holidays in a couple of weeks?

What has the history been like for sales of games which are quite new releases for last years Christmas sale?

 

[jim-jam bongs]

did somebody say JEYNE KASSYNDER

 

[xenoflux2113]

I feel like I should know what this is from but I don't.

Your memory might have been destroyed by this.

Stop JEYNE KASSYNDER before JEYNE KASSYNDER becomes engraved into your memory. JEYNE KASSYNDER JEYNE KASSYNDER JEYNE KASSYNDER

*takes a shot*

 

[xenoflux2113]

Ahh thats where I know it from. I played the Demo so I must not have had it engraved in my memory.

A really good chance given THQ's current condition, plus their games have traditionally dropped pretty fast. I wouldn't be surprised if it was $30 on the x-mas sale at least.

 

[Ifrit]

I had lots of fun playing Killing Floor in solo mode, consider me interested

 

[Buttonbasher]

Oh man, Gemini Rue is incredible! Why didn't I start playing this sooner? Adventure games!

 

[K.Jack]

Ah, Fall of Cybertron! There's the one game I'm looking for in the Christmas sale.

 

[Lime]

Oh man, Gemini Rue is incredible! Why didn't I start playing this sooner? Adventure games!

I ended up finishing it one sitting, I just couldn't put it down. It is definitely one of the best games of this year. And I ended up buying the soundtrack <3

 

[Buttonbasher]

Yeah the soundtrack is top notch. I'll probably end up finishing it in one go too. This game is really fantastic.

 

[MNC]

Oh fuck, Dungeon Siege III actually looks like a cool game I keep mixing it up with dungeon defenders. Is DSIII worth my time?

Also, can't fucking wait to continue playing X3. I fucking love space sims and X3 is basically EVE offline without alot of the useless excel sheets (;3)

Ambience music on full, spaceship thrusters on, and I'm ready.

 

[SteveWinwood]

Amazing how a shitty sale kills this thread so fast.

 

[Eusis]

Only reason I'm not jumping on Dungeon Siege III is that I'm hoping for a good Steam sale on Dungeon Siege Complete. The Ultima conversions make me want to get at least the first game, and if they have a 75% sale then that would put each game at $5... with DLC for DSIII thrown in.

Dungeon Defenders is $2.99, if anyone is still in need.

SUch an amazing game. Glad to see more folks going for it.

I did the same as you, including buying the soundtrack. So good!

Brilliant game, worth picking up, very unlikely it will get cheaper in the steam sales.

Too bad they don't allow people from Canada to download that.

can't you just put a american postal address to obtain the key?

Haha, just got through the intro of this game, and it's sad that besides the end of your post, it doesn't even seem like an exaggeration. At least I won't forget the villain's name anytime soon.

Gundemonium Collection?

 

[jim-jam bongs]

It's not so much just the overuse of her name, the thing with Jeyne Kassynder is that everyone always says her whole name all the time. Like it's never "that rascally old Jeyne" or "Kassynder has moved her troops to...", it's always JEYNE KASSYNDER. It's not like there were any other Jeynes in the game either.

 

[inky]

What I want:

Skyrim $45 or less
The Witcher 2 $20 (preferably $15)
Hard Reset $10
Several cheap/indie stuff I can spend ~$25 in.

Total moneys spent: $100.
Total fun acquired:1000000000000

Make it happen Gabe.

 

[Blizzard]

I figured I didn't want anything except maybe 16 games or so on my wishlist, since I figure I never spend much in sales.

But then that guy said Gemini Rue was good, so I figure I'd add that to the wishlist, too!

 

[The Broken Ska Record]

For the Christmas sale, all I want is:

Rage ~$25
SSFIVAE $15
Alice/Bulletstorm $10
Costume Quest $5

 

[Dice]

SSFIVAE $15

lol

It's subtext, my man. There aren't any Jeyne's that participate in the game but Jeyne is like John in that land. They're all behind the scenes and all over the fucking place (everyone you talk to that is not named or just there for decoration is named Jeyne pretty much) and people just don't want to have a mix up and some poor hapless bastard or bastardess (Jeyne is androgynous there) gets his head chopped off.

 

[The Broken Ska Record]

lol

It's within the realm of possibility. Now, if I had said $15 with all DLC, then I can see the LOLs.

 

[Turfster]

Holy crap. Dungeon Seige III is $5 on Amazon? Awesome.

Do NOT get it if you think it might be a fun game to do coop over the internet like the bioware rpgs of old. This game has the worst coop camera EVER.

 

[EviLore]

Co-op camera = serious rage mode, can't see shit, constant micromanagement required.

 

[LegatoB]

Co-op camera = serious rage mode, can't see shit, constant micromanagement required.

I'm genuinely impressed at how bad the co-op camera is in this game. You really have to work at it to design something so unbearable.
