Not at all amusing.

Also, personal sale wishlist:

Kingdoms of Amalur
Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion
Crysis 2
Starpoint Gemini
Endless Space
Call of Juarez: The Cartel (why in god's name is this still $50?)
Ghost Recon Future Soldier (yeah, i know, unlikely)
Risen 2 - Dark Waters

Most other expensive wishlist stuff I managed to eliminate during the Amazon sale.

edit: oh, and even though I have most of their better games, i'd still go for a cheap Popcap complete bundle.

As I've said before, Zuma's Revenge is my most wanted game. It's only ten bucks so maybe I should just buy it now to spite Valve for taking too long with the sale, but I might as well wait so I have something to look forward to.

I want all of the New Vegas DLC. For some reason I haven't played any of it yet, despite loving the game, but they're sure to be 75% off/$10 for all four at some point so I'll definitely be buying.

I want Dead Rising 2: OTR, but since it's essentially just an expansion pack, I would only bite at $10-$12.50 max, which might be lower than Capcom is willing to go.

Lastly, I'll buy A Valley Without Wind if it gets a daily. I tried the demo and I had no idea what the fuck I was doing, but there's something oddly intriguing about it. At $3.75 it'll be a no brainer for me.

EDIT - Ooh, and I want all of the Call of Dutys that I don't own. I would like to own them all on Steam (with the exception of COD3, which is best forgotten anyways).

Will there be a Activision pack? I was around for the winter sale but I didn't have a gaming pc then.

Also is there a thread where I can ask what the best part of my computer to upgrade? Cheers!

Dungeon Defenders is awesome, but you need a group for it to be fun. Also, that's a lot of fucking DLC. And constant patching is annoying.

Our game uses Steam Pipeline now, which means smaller downloads. And we're down to around one patch a month now. (This last update was a doozy since we included Shards 4/extra goodies and Steam Workshop.)

What's their reasoning for huge updates anyway? I've seen games with patches having bigger content for very less sizes.

Our game runs on Unreal Engine 3. Every time we update the game, we can't just update a file; we have to completely replace it. That means larger updates.

Legend of Grimrock is the one that I really want for this sale. And it seems like the perfect type of game that Steam usually likes to promote, so I'm feeling pretty confident that it will show up. Maybe Crysis 2 for a hot price and a couple of indie games as well. 's a shame that after a couple of humble indie bundles that the Steam indie bundles really don't work anymore as I have a game or two in pretty much every single pack and I don't even have some crazy huge steam library.

If nothing turns up at all I actually have a pack or two that I might pick up for the right price. Usually packs don't work for me, as they either have two many games that I don't want or I already own the games I do want.

But I actually don't have anything from Stardock:

Stardock Collection - $39.99 - Demigod, Galactic Civilizations II Ultimate Edition, Sins of a Solar Empire Rebellion
Click to expand...

And I've somehow managed to also not pick up any of the games from this pack, in spite of being interested in several of them and them all having been on sale before:

2K Collection - $99.99 (placeholder price) - Bionshock 2, Borderlands, Civilization V & DLC (not Gods & Kings), Darkness II Limited Edition, Duke Nukem Forever, Mafia II, SpecOps: The Line
Click to expand...

So if my allotted $50 is still around at the end I might pick up either of those.

My wishlist has almost not changed. I have two priorities thanks to two weeks of waiting.

Wok said:
Here are the games or DLC I am expecting, ordered by descending price (in euros) in previous sales so far.

  1. [...]
  2. Frozen Synapse: Red DLC
  3. [...]
  4. Supreme Commander : Forged Alliance
  5. [...]
Click to expand...

I have gifts in mind too now.

Wok said:
During the summer sales, I will buy some indie games, each solely because the developper is nice:

And for the Winter sales, thanks to Greenlight, I would buy games again.

I just plan on buying all dailys that I don't own and on the last day, any game under $2 that I don't know. Need to bulk up that backlog.

Heh, it's like Capcom continues to have like the perfect combo of games that I want to play and sale prices that are just a little bit too high to impulse buy. I swear that I've had Resident Evil 5 and DMC4 on my Steam wishlish for like two years now waiting for them to go below 50% and Capcom refusing to budge.

I think there was one patch, maybe 2. Anyway, in my opinion the 360 version was far and away the better port. It looked much more vibrant had better lighting and shadows and played much better with the controller. Not sure what the deal is with the PC port, but the controller doesn't work right, you can only run if you tilt the stick diagonally when you're walking normally which is a pain and the camera felt wonky. And even with the 60fps patch it's still janky and really washed out.

I know Mad Doc had much more time with the 360 version than they did working on the PC port and if I had to venture a guess I'd say they reworked the PS2 version. So yeah, I'd say it was either half-assed or they just didn't get the time they needed to make it as good as the 360 port.

Certainly wouldn't be the first time it happened with a console port to PC.

Something is wrong with your controller, I don't have the issues you're describing. What controller are you using? If it's non official 360 controller maybe that's the issue.

Enough people have complained about this that I'm not gonna call anyone crazy. Just that it doesn't occur for everyone because I (and many) had no controller issues. Well, aside from the crappy Shop Class mini-game that I don't think I ever really figured out.

It could also be an issue like the one I had for Dead Space 1. If I had my Saturn gamepad hooked up along with the 360 controller Dead Space didn't function right, sections of the ui were cut off.

You guys who haven't been following DayZ have no idea what you're getting in to. It's fun, but tough. I haven't played for almost a month now, as the last two patches have broken a lot of the intended mechanics. Though the new hot fixes coming out hopefully by the weekend should fix that.

They have had both RE5 and DMC4 for over 50% off before, So chances are they will go lower than 50% again.

They should probably not discount Combined Operations for more than 33% or so, considering it's been $30 in the top seller spot or two for ages, with a giant featured ad image at the top of the store more recently. Give themselves more time to fix bugs or something before overloading their servers. :p

The designers of World of Goo are preparing a new game. The game should be released next Winter. No information about a release on Steam yet.

What makes it interesting is the particular paid beta program "inspired by the dashing Mr. Checker's spyparty". I don't know if it is worth $15, but if you think so, they make you feel in a hurry to pre-order, these clever designers. The beta is first on Windows, and since they are well-known designers, I believe it might take place on Steam. No information yet, I insist.

Note that there is not immediate access to a beta build. [...] Seats for the beta batches will be selected in the order in which we receive them, possibly with exceptions for certain hardware, video cards, languages you speak, etc. Once selected, you'll get an email with a secret download link and special further instructions. Depending on the number of signups, we cannot guarantee a beta seat for everyone.
