Individual dlc for Fallout: NV is 25% off each. NV itself is only 25% off being $14.99. Fallout:NV was 75% off on the Summer Sale. Same with the Ultimate Edition.I deliberately didn't buy it because "i was on a budget". so now I have a loophole in my own system
Also, It seems fallout NV is now cheaper... If it goes 75% off, it'll be 8 bucks now instead of 10.
Well they only jacked US price to 60 and didn't touch euro prices, that's what puzzles me somewhat.
Is this the reason those UK 4-packs seemed so cheap? They were really something like the equivalent of $50 USD?

My day one purchase at 60$ was my purchase of the year. More than 150 hours already. Got a lot more enjoyment out of it than a lot of other games that cost 50.

Pretty much. Console RRP is £40, has been for years now. Meanwhile, PC gamers still get released for £30, so we'll be talking closer to $45 if you want to compare them. Of course, the magic of the internet means the typical pre-release price is £5 less than RRP. It's really only EA and Activision that try to charge console RRPs on PC games in the UK.

Welcome to Steam, they don't do duplicate copies of bundle games you own. At least you get the opportunity to pre-order it, it's throwing up "not available in your country" here in the UK for some stupid (and probably related to a certain brick & mortar chain) reason.

For anyone who bought the eXceed games can you give me more details on this:
I was under the impression everything was translated now.

Don't pass gaas, it is your Destiny!
Ended up just buying Morrowind and Oblivion, hope the Fallouts are 60%ish off later this week, Rage too. Gotta build up my pc library.

Buy the Quakecon bundle and get 5 TF2 items*
*these items are a year old, randomly drop, can be crafted, one has a set recipe. Buying every item in the TF2 store is cheaper

I seriously wish they'd bring dodonpachi to steam. That'd be amazing. And I'd be able to use my arcade stick with it.

Wow, that's lame. They could have put some items with Dishonored, at least.
Yeah, seeing Cave on Steam would be awesome. Maybe one day.
Uh...hmm. I thought this was the case too, then I saw the first eXceed game:

Semblance seems to be dead-set on buying these so maybe they'll chime in on whether it really hasn't been translated.
Crimzon Clover would be a much more realistic wish. I hope somebody manages it.

I bought the Quakecon bundle last year, so it would've been nice if there had been a Dishonored specific discount but whatever.
Are these non-genuine?
Time for a GMG discount for my preorder, as much as I loved the combat and stuff in Dark Messiah.
Offline mode.
Also some don't really care if Steam is running sometimes, but you have to try that and discover which ones.
Why is Empire Total War so much worse than Shogun 2? It's a damn shame too because I like the setting so much more but unless I'm missing something they don't give you nearly as much detail and information as S2.
I just did it yesterday when I came home to a mysterious internet outage on a bright sunny day. I was playing Shogun 2 and Fallout New Vegas as easily as if I was online.

In theory your games will work if you are signed into Steam if your internet suddenly cuts out, the only games that might ahve issues are games with integrated Steamworks multiplayer, but as long as the other games are up to date and you have launched them at least once, most likely they will work.

Man, Sniper Elite V2 is kinda hard.
You know... I wonder why Bethesda hasn't released the first two Elder Scrolls games on Steam. Yeah, I know I can get them for free on their website, but the same could be said for the GTA games, and I have to actually mess with getting DOSBox right for the Elder Scrolls game on Bethesda's website. There should at least be an Elder Scrolls Bundle which would include those two games as well as the others.

The irritating thing is that a lot of difficulty comes from terrible setups.

Damn, it didn't work. I'm out of WiFi range (laptop). Tried to sign in as offline mode but it still require to connect the internet. Didn't matter I have to log-in and leave it open when moving to the out of the range.
Smoke n' play ;P
Huh, RAGE is $14.99 now? Isn't that like $3.75 if it goes on 75% off? I might bite now.
It's not 75% off of $14.99 as $14.99 is at 25%.
It would $5 if it went to 75%.
Napolean Total War is better.
Also if you like Empire that much you can install the Darth Vader Mod for Empire it just about makes it as perfect as it can get.
Ugh, I'm about to get to the last (arson) desk in L.A. Noire and finishing it feels like such a chore. At least with that my August target is going to be met soon and I can get to work on Deus Ex: HR. Getting rid of my backlog is proving difficult, but at least I'm gaming lots more.
August: L.A. Noire & Deus Ex: HR
Sept: Deus Ex: HR & Sonic Generations
October: Gemini Rue, Lone Survivor, Sequence, Sword & Sworcery
November: Borderlands, Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet
December: Alan Wake: American Nightmare & Splinter Cell: Conviction
With that I'll only have like 10 games left, plus whatever I buy during the winter sale (thinking of the original Darksiders and probably Torchlight 2)

No. That game is tied to your account. Unless you never played it/activated it.
Yes, but you can't have two people logged into the same Steam account simultaneously. If he's in Offline Mode, then probably, assuming Civ 5 works in Offline Mode (no reason why not).
EDIT: The crucial point being your Steam account, which I believe the guy above missed.

Ah, that's explain. I haven't start up steam and yet there is no internet connection.

For anyone who was wondering about the first eXeed and if it was in English or not, all the text in the first eXeed is in English. however the characters speak their dialogue in Japanese as there is no English dub from what I see. Apparently the other two games have English dubs but will have to check later.
