Guess I can settle for $10 if it goes on sale.
Also, anyone heard of this? Stealth Bastard Deluxe is coming to Steam at the end of November.

Yeah, it's an updated version of a free game that came out last year.

Edit: I see the article mentions that already, haha

Capcom games going five bucks is a rare phenomenon.

I loved every second of it and I would buy a sequel in a heartbeat.

Primal Carnage is dated for October 31st. Looks like a good Dinosaur FPS for once but the game modes seem limited and I'm not sure if it was very wise to release on the same day as Natural Selection 2.

Did anyone notice a sale on Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning during the 38 Studios auction? Rich Gallup on twitter said he heard Steam was selling it for $16, but I wonder if he just misheard and the person actually said $60.
I just noticed I can download it from GameFly for only $35. I need to keep an eye on their PC Download section, I haven't really looked at it before today.

Keep tabs on the Amazon thread, their sales beat Steam's (though not in breadth obviously). KoA + DLC will be $11 sometime in the next few weeks.
He must have misheard. Kingdoms of Amalur has been on sale just once, as one of the Midweek Madness deals the week of April 17th, with a discount of 33% ($60 -> $40.19).

I'd probably already own DR2, DMC4, and RE5 if they each went for 5 each.
You should post those in their respective threads too. Tony from Amazon was getting heat for promoting Steamworks games on here so I'd advise you bump the GMG or the DD sales thread and give them some love too

listen to the mad man
Doesn't Amazon sell the Origin copy of KoA?

Yes, unfortunately. I'm not in any rush to buy it though so I can wait for a Steam bombas so I can get my Steam cheese mints.
That Slickdeals-Origins promotion had it for 16 dollars. He probably confused the two.
I know it was 16, because I was hoping I could use the 20 dollar coupon on it. But it was excluded.

dont know about fps but i heard it was a great port.

I think it's really good. It's locked to 30 like the Dreamcast version, but it never drops and it runs on really old setups. The game works perfectly with a 360 controller (camera controls!), and is very playable with mouse/kb (graffiti with a kb is a little rough). Most issues (bad framerate or slow loading speeds) are solved by simply restarting your computer once. Oh, and this guy created a way to import images.

I remember hearing about a weird bug at startup where the game would slow down to a snail's pace, but a simple restart would fix it. I played through it to completion and never had that problem.
Outside of that and the 30fps lock, it's a very good port.
What my laptop can and can't play and the inconsistency of what games you would expect it to play is so frustatrating. I can run Phantasy Star Online 2 and Torchlight 2 at Max settings with zero issues yet some indy game like Cortex Command or old game like Risen and it won't play for shit.
Really wish I could figure out before hand what it could play before dropping coin on non demo games or if there was some Steam application to help narrow down the compatability titles with my less than perfect set up

Damn that's a great deal.
Apparently GGG is a joint venture between eurogamer and some other company: http://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/games-from-the-get-go-interview
They also have Far Cry 1 + 2 for € 6.25
http://www.getgamesgo.com/product/far-cry-1-2
-9910% off. Tempting.
They're legit, if you were wondering. Run by or somehow affiliated with Eurogamer I believethey offered the preorder bonus level for Hotline Miami.
I'd double dip if Ubi had bothered to put achievements into the PC version.
Stop trying to trick everyone by linking to these Aussie storefronts. I'm on to you and I will PM a mod

I highly doubt KoA will ever see a discount on Steam, 38 Studios self-published it for the Steam release and well they no longer exist
Amalur will be $60 until it gets pulled whenever Steam runs out of keys
The original game itself is at 30fps, the port is not locked. Perfect port actually and the 360 pad feels like the heir to the DC pad.
Thats a sweet deal. The page doesn't mention if it gives you a steam key, anyone can confirm if they do give one?

It's not a Steam key. The Amazon version uses Solidshield/Tages. Yeah.

I have had issues with steam losing connection in the client and when it is connected the download speeds are horrendous, 98k horrendous. I pause and do a speedtest and my speeds are fine.
It's UbiSoft, so probably uses uPlay.
Did you activate the beta updates? Many of us did for BPM and that is causing trouble since the latest update. If you're on beta too... I guess you're just lucky
I consider myself lucky as well though, mostly I only get a crash right after the first launch, then I relaunch it and nothing for the whole time I keep it open.

Noticed you guys talking about a good deal on Sonic Generations, remembered I enjoyed that game and thought I might load it up for a level or two.
Already had it installed, but Steam informed me that it had to update the install to the new content system. No big deal, lots of my games have done that lately, only takes a minute to convert stuff.
Steam craps out just as I click "OK".
Steam comes back. Decides Sonic Generations isn't installed and I have to download 8GB again.
GRR. Yeah, I can agree that Steam hasn't been particularly consistent recently. These random little server issues are playing havoc with cloud stuff in particular.

Yes, I'm on the beta, though I haven't used the BPM lately. A stability issue with BPM, maybe?Did you activate the beta updates? Many of us did for BPM and that is causing trouble since the latest update. If you're on beta too... I guess you're just lucky

Now that sounds like the Steam client is updating to the normal client, instead of the Beta, without telling you. Check you're still on the Beta in the Settings menu.
