Just bought. We'll definitely shoot some bros/zombies together soon. Semblance, if you're out there, you better give us a holler if or when you get on board too.

I suck pretty bad too, which is OK as long as I don't take the game too seriously.

Haven't tried Zombie, first COD online since MW1 and I'm pretty much just a fuck off online. So not very serious here either.

Decided to bro up my name a bit.

Brehs, does the Darksiders II Season Pass include all the relevant DLC?

For the most part. There's Death Rides, but the rest is just trivial crap (e.g. weapons with stats that make them useless if you've been playing for any substantial amount of time).

Doesn't the Darksiders 2 Season Pass feel a bit shaky? Will THQ even be around for that time/or be in a position the release anything else?

The last piece of Season Pass content is due this month.

Steam redeemable @ Gamersgate, comes out a bit cheaper than Amazon's current sale if you have the IGN discount:

Darksiders II - $16.98 / $14.93 with IGN discount
Darksiders II Season Pass - $6.80 / $5.78 with IGN Discount

Steam redeemable @ Amazon:

Darksiders II - $16.99
Darksiders II Season Pass - $6.79

Haven't tried it myself but apparently you can get a further 5% off with the code: G2PO

Indeed (GG), thanks! Will add it to the post.

Is Snapshot part of a promo I wasn't aware of or the new Daily Deal that should technically not start for another hour: http://store.steampowered.com/app/204220/ ?

The counter would match with the Daily Deal launch time, now at 24:48.

There's also Argul's Tomb which adds some new areas.

They released the mac version last week and put it on sale. I should probably grab it.

No it's randomly been on sale for a handful of days now.

EDIT: Oh yeah, Mac version release

 

[jarosh]

Right. Well, seems like a decent enough discount... Might grab it.

There's absolutely no chance of Black Ops 2 getting a sale this holiday season, right?

15% off, maybe.

If there is, it won't be much. Probably ~10%.

 

[Snuggles]

Amazon had Modern Warfare 3 for $35 around last Xmas. A decent sale isn't guaranteed, but it's possible. I couldn't wait, but good luck.

 

[def sim]

good lord

haha I'll try to wait it out thanks guys

 

[allansm]

Right. Well, seems like a decent enough discount... Might grab it.

If you like puzzle platformers, buy it without hesitation. The game is great. I bought it when I saw the discount last week and I'm enjoying it a lot.

 

[SteveWD40]

I would be shocked if even the first Blops is more than 25% off this year, it's still £39.99 2 years on...

 

[xelios]

Yeah.

Why do they insist on making everything so low res? If they don't also limit the palette of the artwork the game loses the authenthic old school-look they're aiming for, and instead it looks ugly and unprofessional.

The AGS engine that they use doesn't allow for anything higher than 1024x768. They've been asked why they don't use Unity instead, and they said it would take too long to make higher-res assets so they prefer to keep working in AGS.

Here's a quote I found:

The low-res art is more a budget-related decision than an aesthetic or an engine-related one. Even if we were using Unity, we'd still probably use the low-res graphics.

Prototype 2 should not be supported even at that price, it does not work. I have been stuck at a ;padomg screen since buying it. Have tried all of the troubleshooting with no success.

That sucks. It worked fine for me in the two or so hours I've played it, but it doesn't run particularly well for such an average looking game. I'll probably never finish it but it seems pretty fun - more of the same but with a more 'cinematic' flair and some minor improvements here and there.

 

[Nabs]

Darksiders 2 is the midweek @ $17 bucks. 66% off.

Daily: Super Meat Boy is 80% off ($2.99). Get the soundtrack if you don't have it already.

It was on sale for 20 dollars earlier this year (which is when I bought it). North America pricing.

edit: or I had that coupon from the christmas sale. I dont remember now.

Yeah, crazy. Season pass/DLC not on sale on Steam currently.

There's also Argul's Tomb which adds some new areas.

Ah, that's right. I never fail to mistake it for the first piece of Season Pass content.

Yesterday somebody mentioned that when you use a key for a game you already own, that a copy of it will be placed in your inventory. Any truth to that?

No. You'll just get the product already owned message.

Honestly, that's kind of the way it works now. You can almost predict when something is going to go on sale on Steam because Amazon/Fill In The Blank have just had it on sale. It doesn't seem like games go on sale exclusively anymore. They may roll it out over a week or two, but everyone gets their time in the spotlight.

First time someone added me to buy TF2 items! GAF, I'm excited! What should I do?!

 

[Archie]

Give them to me so you don't get harassed any more.

 

[RionaaM]

Do we must perform this dance every 6 months, life?

Steam Sales Rules:

1) Only buy games on Daily Deals
2) Wait until the last day of the sale to buy a game you want that wasn't featured on a daily deal.
3) If a deal looks too good to be true, take it. It probably is a mistake. (see rule 4)
4) Secret rule number 4: 75% off is a good enough discount, it'll probably never get more discounted than that. The only scenario where it'll get cheaper is when the regular price drops outside of a sale and then it goes for 75% off again on the next sale.


Special Autumn Sale considerations:

Daily Deal prices might not be repeated on the Winter (Christmas) sale, so rule number 1 still applies. However, it has happened before.

Regular non-daily discounts will likely either be repeated or topped on a daily featured sale in the Winter (Christmas) sale. Since that is only weeks away, rule number 2, "wait until the last day of the sale", actually means "wait until the last day of the xmas sale".

Errors still happen, so if a newish game is listed at 75% off when the sale comes up or the daily deals refresh, you might want to buy it. It's probably a mistake.

Sorry, this'll be my first winter sale, so I didn't know how different it was from the autumn one. Thanks for the info

Give me half and we'll split the responsibility.

Exception being if it's 75% off just go ahead and pick it up at the Autumn Sale just in case, no point in waiting unless you're plan to buy the publisher pack or something.

Edit: Nevermind, missed rule #4 in general even though this is a bit at odds with it.

 

[drizzle]

Darksiders 2 is the midweek @ $17 bucks. 66% off.

Darksiders II is on sale everywhere it seems

66% off before the big Christmas sale and no DLC on sale? Watch it be 75% off including all DLC AND the season pass om Winter Sales and people complaining about it in the thread.

Sorry, this'll be my first winter sale, so I didn't know how different it was from the autumn one. Thanks for the info

I wasn't really complaining. I don't think the "autumn rules" were ever posted by anybody, that's just the thing I follow on most sales, actually. If I'm not going to play it anytime soon and it's not a Daily Deal, i'll just wait for the next big sale.

Exception being if it's 75% off just go ahead and pick it up at the Autumn Sale just in case, no point in waiting unless you're plan to buy the publisher pack or something.

That's why there's secret rule 4.

 

[Glass Rebel]

It didn't work out. I wanted cash, he only had TF2 items and bundle keys. rofl.

 

[dani_dc]

Darksiders II is on sale everywhere it seems

THQ trying to make enough money to save itself.

In the next few week they'll be selling all of their games with a 90% discount in hopes of selling enough to cover their debts.

 

[xelios]

That's why there's secret rule 4.

Oops, missed that, but it still kind of contradicts rule 2 of the Autumn Sale. =p
