Homefront at 50% off today ($14.99)

 

[Nabs]

Weekend Deal - Tomb Raider 15th Anniversary - (66% off Anniversary, Legend, Underworld)

 

[MRORANGE]

Homefront at 50% off today ($14.99)

still too expensive for such a short SP campaign.

 

[Foliorum Viridum]

I really want to try Homefront but that's still too much

 

[mxgt]

Homefront is a terrible game

Buyers remorse to the max from buying it at full price

 

[Glass Rebel]

I thought I was safe today but then I saw Tomb Raider: Underworld. I think it's the only one I'm missing.

 

[Tambini]

Weekend Deal - Tomb Raider 15th Anniversary - (66% off Anniversary, Legend, Underworld)

hmm sort of want..

Maybe I'll bite on Legend and if I enjoy it I may get the others.

 

[Snkfanatic]

Damn...was really hoping for a Dawn of War 2 sale. Oh well I have plenty of games to play through right now, will wait for Christmas sale (hopefully)

 

[jaundicejuice]

The store page for Legend and Anniversary state that they have controller support but Underworld's store page doesn't.

 

[Gav47]

Wow only 50% off on Homefront but 75% off on RFA. THQ really is abandoning the Red Faction series.

Yep. Completely agree.

Even the MP was pretty bad. It had some good ideas, but the maps were terrible and each game was a prone sniper fest. You had nearly Battlefield sized maps with hitscan weapons... making it to where all you had to do is point the cursor at an enemies head and shoot. At least Battlefield makes it a little more difficult for the sniper by factoring in a ballistic model.

 

[SapientWolf]

I never played the SP, but Homefront's multi is well designed, IMHO. It borrows a lot of elements from its contemporaries, but twitch action with BF style vehicles and gametypes somehow still feels fresh. They've introduced a lot of genuinely good ideas to the format that I wouldn't mind seeing in the other major FPSs coming out this year. Things like purchasing equipment and vehicles with the points you gain from teamwork, or players having a bounty placed on them as their killstreak goes up.

The biggest letdown is the graphics, but since it's UE3.0 it runs at a locked 60 on just about everything.

Weekend Deal - Tomb Raider 15th Anniversary - (66% off Anniversary, Legend, Underworld)

Underworld is a very good game in its own right; I would recommend it even if you aren't a TR fan

 

[Gully State]

Homefront pretty much exemplifies the thought that given enough marketing, you can sell quite a few copies of a shitty game.

 

[Sgt.Pepper]

Get Anniversary. It is great.

 

[Guanoape]

Damn...was really hoping for a Dawn of War 2 sale. Oh well I have plenty of games to play through right now, will wait for Christmas sale (hopefully)

This isn't the last day of the sale. There will be a special weekend deal as well, which will probably be the Dawn of War franchise.

 

[jaundicejuice]

Does Underworld end on a cliffhanger like Legend? They are rebooting the series.

 

[Stallion Free]

That's a hell of a deal on the TR series. Easily worth the price. Very few games fall into the puzzle/platformer genre, but TR is a shining example of that design.

The store page for Legend and Anniversary state that they have controller support but Underworld's store page doesn't.

All of the games have flawless 360 pad support. Button prompts are color coded to the buttons or change and there is rumble support.

Does Underworld end on a cliffhanger like Legend? They are rebooting the series.

No, Underworld ties Anniversary and Legend together and wraps up the story entirely. There are no loose ends.

Weekend deal is not Tomb Raider?

 

[Luigi87]

Weekend deal is not Tomb Raider?

Tomb Raider is standard weekend deal. There will be one for the THQ sale specifically too.

 

[svegis]

Weekend deal is not Tomb Raider?

THQ's weekend deal will be tomorrow, so don't fret yet!

 

[mrfolego]

Is the rock mappack good? I have been thinking of playing homefront multiplayer again but I've read that hacks are a common occurance

 

[LQX]

Are any of the Tomb Raiders cheaper overseas?

 

[xelios]

Heroes V is such a crap deal (and game); should at least be the pack and 66% off for anyone to consider. VI on the other hand I still want so badly.

Think I am gonna get the Tomb Raider games this time around.

 

[graywolf323]

beginning to doubt there will be a Supreme Commander day

 

[Tomodachi]

I didn't even remember if I had any tomb raider on steam, had to check
I'm missing Underworld only, I had it on my dead 360 so I think I... need to get it on Steam.

 

[sk3tch]

Oh man...what's wrong with me. Buying DLC for Homefront even though I haven't played it in months. BUT IT'S ON SALE! I will fire it up tonight to justify it. I am sure the barren servers will make me shake my fist into the Steam cloud's general direction...

 

[MRORANGE]

Payday: the heist has gone back to it's pre-order price., the game will be released on the 18th of October on ps3 & steam.

 

[Relax.MX]

Renegade Ops delayed again? steam say 19 october...is not tomorrow the day of release?

 

[Joe Molotov]

Renegade Ops delayed again? steam say 19 october...is not tomorrow the day of release?

Still says the 14th for me, 23 until unlock.

Edit: ANNNNND now says the 19th. 5 days, 23 until unlock. Probably had to add in some Voritguants or something.

 

[mrfolego]

It is 50 percent off http://store.steampowered.com/app/9350/?snr=1_4_4__106_3

5 days and 23 hours
God fucking dammit.

Dawn of War is the weekend deal for THQ.

 

[UnluckyKate]

Meanwhile on my Mac...

Oh ! There's the Baconning DLC at -50% off !

Bought, bought and bought then. So the order to play them in is Anniversary, Legend and Underworld?

 

[snoopeasystreet]

Dawn of War is the weekend deal for THQ.

Yeah. I'd put money on it. Shame about not getting SR 2 for €2.50.

 

[wilflare]

i'm safe for the day.
hoping to find a good deal on Heroes 6 though
friends love that game

 

[Weenerz]

Sega sucks.

 

[zychi]

Meanwhile on my Mac...

Oh ! There's the Baconning DLC at -50% off !

"STEAM IS GOING TO BRING GAMING TO MACS!"

...still waiting.

 

[nexen]

5 days and 23 hours
God fucking dammit.

The fuck? Are they serious? >:[

 

[krzy123]

Enjoyed Anniversary, but some of the end game stuff was a pain :|, will skip others for now due to backlog, plus it always comes on sale.

 

[UnluckyKate]

"STEAM IS GOING TO BRING GAMING TO MACS!"

...still waiting.

Humble Bundle have done more for Mac gaming than Steam would ever be (excluding TF2).

Waiting for Deus Ex... (I'm laughing at you Duke)

 

[Echoplx]

Holy lol Mac users are ungrateful. Go back to not using Steam if you don't like it, I'm sure you'll be much better off.

 

[Scythian]

Welp, nothing for me today D:
I'd pick Homefront up for $5 or even $10; $15 is too much.

 

[markot]

"STEAM IS GOING TO BRING GAMING TO MACS!"

...still waiting.

Yeah, cause Valve is in charge of what other publishers and devs do >_>

You just got psychonauts anyway, thats plenty!

 

[RibbedHero]

Why don't Mac users just use bootcamp and enjoy all PC gaming has to offer?

 

[inky]

Why don't Mac users just buy a PC and enjoy all PC gaming has to offer?

Fixed.

 

[Stallion Free]

Bought, bought and bought then. So the order to play them in is Anniversary, Legend and Underworld?

Chronologically, yes. Gameplay-wise you should prolly play Legend first (don't worry, it won't confuse the story really).

 

[Data West]

No one bought the Rugby game yet? :/

 

[jaundicejuice]

Alright, I'll replay Legend first.

Also I don't get about the Mac bitching. Valve can bring Steam to Mac but they can't force third parties to make Mac ports of games. If you're serious about gaming and insist on using a Mac you should probably be using bootcamp.
