Winter Sale... and if not, Summer Sale 2013. You will buy it. You know you will. Eventually. They will get you. They'll get all of us.
They'll get me when it's $5. But that's my pricepoint for almost everything these days so no biggee.

I haven't even played it yet, only Demon Souls, let me know how it turns out.
Oh wow.
Let me say that Dark Souls is one of my favorite games of all time, maybe the favorite, and you should get the PC version if, at worst, its on par with the console versions.
Im so stoked to dive back in, plus the new content.

Anyone else having issues logging in to Steam? Restarted my PC and now it won't let me in.
Does buying the game from GMG give you a free copy of Sniper Challenge, and is Absolution Steam-activable?

Make more sense than suggesting the Steam was about to start distributing operating systems.
Yes to Steamworks, and I can't think of a reason why you shouldn't get Sniper Challenge.
:lol :lol last time I used Suse was when I wanted to use those fancy Compiz fusion effects back in 2006
I pre-ordered awhile ago and didnt get a Sniper Challenge yet :\

Activates on Steam. As for the Sniper Challenge, people on the GMG forums haven't received the demo, there's some confusion about what package it came with and even if they are going to get it.
Running Steam within Linux within Steam.

Weird. Can't connect to steam. steampowered.com is fully accesible though...
A little off-topic, but how is GIMP nowadays? I've used it a few times before, but never really focused on it particularly.
I'm interested in most of the bigger titles coming to steam this season. ACIII, Darksiders, Sleeping Dogs, Borderlands 2, Torchlight II, and Dark Souls. But Dishonored is really the only must play. If there is a good sale on GMG, like 30ish. I think I'll budge. Rest are largely, wait and see if it is even worth buying. Then a Steam sale down the line for a few bucks. Heh.
Good news though. RAGE being knocked down to 20$ is a good thing. 75% off Christmas Sale.

This costs more than a MW
It's holding me back. Not buying until 10-15.
I think it's reasonable if you're not a student and don't have Photoshop. There should be a gimpshop version if you don't like the default UI, and there's also Paint.net (free, not open source) if you want an alternative image editor...and there's Inkscape if you want to mess with a vector editor.
I'll buy Dishonored at full price if I have to but I'm sure GMG will have it on sale. They have a 20% coupon coming but I don't think they have the game on their store yet.
Yeah, that's what I'm aiming at myself.

Steam is s still acting up. I'm trying to install Skyrim and it seems to be perpetually scanning for updates.

cool thanks, yeah I knew I forgot something, got so tied up in talking about my fav game characters and how i'd like to Frankenstein them into one, lol.
I look forward to more of your shenanigans.
Ugh, knew it. No 75%, no buy.

I wish Dishonored wasn't priced so high, I think the $10 premium on PC will turn away more gamers than whatever extra revenue they will bring in by having it. Hopefully more people will try out this game and spread the word if it embodies all the things the developers have talked about.
So I've got an "Unlocked" Steam account which means I can purchase games from the US Store despite being based in Aus.
Apparently Steam has added the below clause to the terms you accept -
I don't currently use any IP Proxying when buying from the US store, I just hit purchase and it all works. I've been doing this for over two years now.
Do you think the above clause should be enough for me to stop what I'm doing? It's such a pain having to find people to gift games to you when they're cheaper...

That's Zenimax's fault. Hopefully the PC crowd will embrace it like they did with Deus Ex HR, it's a game with even more PC background and features than that had and the actual PC port is having a lot of work put into it. Steam crowd tends to support those games. I'm hoping for once people don't disappoint me.
Do you use a credit card with its billing address in the US? Do you go to http://store.steampowered.com/?cc=us directly from your browser without going through a US proxy? If so, there shouldn't be a problem.So I've got an "Unlocked" Steam account which means I can purchase games from the US Store despite being based in Aus.

It's been a while. New set of tie-in TF2 items announced with every Steam Sleeping Dogs pre-order. Also available to buy from the Mann Co Store, if you really want them. Yes, that looks like a flamethrower for the Heavy.
No I use a credit card with an Australian Billing address, always have. But I do change the Billing country to "US" in the checkout. (That's the worst bit I suppose...)
I do buy direct from the ?cc=us website in my browser without a proxy.

And why would steam be distributing a linux distro that they are not yet going to officially support?
super weird.

It's being heavily promoted by Bethesda, and the entire internet seems to have a hard-on for it. Dishonoured is no underdog.
Aw man... that's a lot of items. I was on the fence about preordering but that's going to be hard to pass up.

How has everyone's experiences been with pre purchasing games from sites such as green man gaming etc? I have a fear of pre purchasing the game and the site not receiving codes at the correct time.
I never had any problems with GMG. You get the keys a couple of days before the game comes out and you can redeem in your steam like a retail game.
morningbus
Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
If your worst fear is the game being unlocked on Steam at midnight and not getting the code from somewhere else until, like, 6 or 7am, then yeah, avoid. Personal experience: Sonic Generations bought through GMG.
However, if they offer up a preload, then you should get the key well before the release day.

Thanks guys. I have missed the 20% off Hitman pre-order twice now due to this fear but I think I will just bite the bullet and do it if the code comes up again.
They offer the best deals most of the time, and in most cases you can get your keys a day before, although in some cases you may have to wait.
They excel very well, except in getting refunds on pre-orders like I had with Deus Ex: HR.
I pre-purchased Guild Wars 2 from there. They didn't have enough keys, but they sent me one 4 days later and everything was OK. I could redeem it without any problems on GW2's website.
