Make sure to update whatever skin you are using after applying the update. Pixelvision didn't show me the BPM icon till I updated the files.

Is there a point in using the Steam wallet if I already buy stuff without it? Is it like brick and mortar stores credit programs, where they can't tax store credit? Or is there no real point if I already have payment information?

 

[Salsa]

It doesn't. Though the music is awesome and there are some cool 3D effects (no glasses) and I like the art but it's not in the same league game play wise as any of those games.

I wouldnt consider Shank to be on any top league gameplay wise

 

[RionaaM]

Wtf. They're just making up any excuse to throw a sale now. The money sucking is unrelenting D:

Edit: Ohhh. Sine Mora...must resist

How much? I mean, NO MORE GAMES UNTIL...

How much?

 

[Wok]

I bought it, havent played yet. Looks mote like abe's oddysee with guns to me

Thanks for the info. I will need to read a bit more about it then, because the trailer made me think it was similar. Maybe on the game hub.

They can put your cc on hold after frequent purchasing

During the sales some banks (like mine) start rejecting your payment if you make lots of small transactions; as they think it is fraudulent. By having about £50 in the wallet I can safely buy stuff whenever as Valve already has the money.

 

[Grief.exe]

I can't believe FTL hasn't been on sale yet. That is the only must have game for me that I didn't pick up over the Autumn sale.

 

[Im_Special]

The only point of it is some people have shitty banks that like to lock their accounts when to many small purchases are made because to them it looks suspicious, so the work around is to add 100$ or whatever to the wallet once and the bank wont freak out.

The main reason to use Steam Wallet is if you have funds sitting around in your PayPal account.

I've never run into the CC issue, even during my buying binge last Winter Seal.

add the fact, that you can buy stuff using the tablet/phone app quite easily, which is useful during summer sales on the beach.

 

[The_Monk]

WOW at Sine Mora sale, so tempting!

 

[Dynoro]

That's a good point; I have abused that by buying games whilst at work during previous flash sales.

Shank is a really well done 2D beat em up. Having played Rocketbirds, the gameplay is very uninteresting and slow bordering on boring. If not for the awesome science fiction techno rock music and the splendid art I would of already filed it away in the recesses of my bloated library.

 

[RionaaM]

Geometry Wars - Get or not get?

I don't know, Waves is pretty similar and has like 6 modes. The Steam version of GW has only 1, right?

I may pick it up anyway, loved GW: Galaxies on the Wii.

EDIT: Didn't realize Hell Yeah was on sale since I'd removed it from the wishlist. Should probably pick it up.

Yes you should, don't listen to RPS on this one.

 

[scorpscarx]

I can't believe FTL hasn't been on sale yet. That is the only must have game for me that I didn't pick up over the Autumn sale.

Same it's like all I want for christmas.

Also workshop content automatically rolling out updates is a nice new addition.

 

[Visualante2]

Really indefensible Lego games still not having online co-op on PC. Considering how well those games sell...

 

[YianGaruga]

I'm hesistant to buy Tiny&Big because it seems like one of the most likely candidates to end up in one of the bigger Indie Bundles (Humble, Royale) soon.

 

[atomsk]

I use it to give myself a budget

 

[jediyoshi]

Sadly more things this sale I'm tempted to buy than last one.

$2.50 is the new $5

 

[Eternia]

Geometry Wars - Get or not get?

Personally I believe Waves is a far better game than Geometry Wars. There's just a lot more to do. The first game never really did get its hooks into me like the second one did.

 

[Mechazawa]

Magicka listed as a controller friendly game. Oh Steam.

 

[Stumpokapow]

*goes to buy Tiny & Big*

*realizes it'll be 2.49 again by christmas, I won't have played it by then, and it might end up in an indie bundle before then*

Look on the bright side, maybe someone can trade you a THQ game for it.

burned by this with both sine mora and jet set radio recently

meh I regret nothing

 

[HoosTrax]

So are CS:GO and Portal 2 :3

Mayyybe you can get away with that in Portal 2. Not sure. I guess the console people manage it somehow.

 

[diggler41]

Is this the cheapest Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga has been?

 

[Sgt.Pepper]

What controlled is that on the front page? Looks like a DS3 with 360 buttons..

 

[Rawket Lawnchair]

Logitech something.

 

[YianGaruga]

Logitech F710

 

[Interfectum]

a logitech controller

Yep

[JaseC]

Yeah. The Lego games never go for more than half off.

Edit: And today marks the first time Lego SW Complete has been half off since... *drum roll* the Christmas/Winter Sale of 2010.

 

[The_Monk]

[snack]

More people need to get CS GO so the wait times are less!

GOGOGO

 

[naib]

Going to buy Sine Mora for the 3rd time, Hell Yeah rabbit something something, and maybe Deadlight.
Might wait for a deeper discount on that one..

Edit:
F it, might finally dbl dip on Geometry Wars. I used to love that game.
Does anyone know if it has online leaderboards?

Edit again:
Looks like it doesn't.

 

[JaseC]

maybe Deadlight.
Might wait for a deeper discount on that one..

It'll be half off again in a few weeks.

 

[Stallion Free]

Really indefensible Lego games still not having online co-op on PC. Considering how well those games sell...

The majority don't have online coop on consoles either. I think only 2 or 3 entries ever had it.

 

[mattiewheels]

Anybody want a code for AvP for $3?

 

[Glass Rebel]

Fuck, I said I wouldn't buy BioShock Infinite at launch but the 26 Feb release is perfect for me :/

 

[diggler41]

Yeah. The Lego games never go for more than half off.

Edit: And today marks the first time Lego SW Complete has been half off since... *drum roll* the Christmas/Winter Sale of 2010.

Awesome. Thank you.

 

[jediyoshi]

I'd advise against deadlight, at least as long as it's around $10

 

[XANDER CAGE]

Man once a game goes under... 7 bucks I see no reason to wait for it to go lower, unless your budget is really, really tight. All y'all worried about Tiny and Big and whatnot going cheaper are crazy.

 

[morningbus]

Looks like a cheap Logitech controller.

Yep

http://www.logitech.com/en-us/product/wireless-gamepad-f710?crid=713

The build quality of the controller is actually really good, plus it has a few features that make it better than a 360 controller despite being the DS3 design.

Overall, I would recommend it over a 360 controller.

 

[HoosTrax]

At least for me, the PS2 DualShock was a giant hand cramp. The grips weren't proper grips -- you can't curl your fingers around them comfortably. Not sure if more recent Sony controllers improved upon that.

 

[morningbus]

I think we can all agree that Valve's controller can't come soon enough.

 

[Nabs]

Wow, that Afterfall trailer is really good. Stallion is going to love that shit.

Anyone else had Sonic Generations download a 100mb update?

Maybe they made the launcher dialog BPM friendly.

 

[Glass Rebel]

Wow, that Afterfall trailer is really good. Stallion is going to love that shit.

Looks better than Dead Space 3.

 

[Smash88]

JaseC strikes again....

I traded in my 360, PSP and a bunch of games to Gamestop for $200 in steam cards. It's funded my gaming purchases for the last 6 months. That's my use for wallet! lol
