Wish Trials and Secret World were steam keys. Would buy instantly.

No Dark Souls? I soo wanted to jump on board. I guess I have to believe in Steam to deliver a good deal.

Yes it redeems on steam.

 

[JaseC]

$4.95 here from Amazon with free shipping (Prime). Crazy. Guess without a key that's not very helpful to you though.

I've sent you a PM.

Edit: Though I could have just talked to you on Steam!

Well it's been ages now, I think he has learned his lesson.

As far as I'm aware, blame space is the only member to have returned from a perma.

Just checking with you guys, all retail PC version of NBA 2k9 redeem on steam assuming they come with a code, correct?

Yes, and you can register the game to your account even if your copy doesn't come with a key.

 

[Overdoziz]

Did they ever fix the performance issues for Trials Gold?

 

[JaseC]

I believe so, and if I'm not mistaken the demo was patched, too, so you can use it to see how your system fairs.

 

[Overdoziz]

Performance in the demo was pretty bad at times for me, even with everything on low. The framerate would drop significantly out of nowhere every now and then.

Great. There's cheap copies in Amazon uk (not directly) since basketball isn't a big sport over here.

When did you try the demo? What are your specs?

 

[Overdoziz]

Tried it a couple of weeks ago. From what little I've heard they've only fixed it for Nvidia graphics cards, though. Not for AMDs (I've got a 7850), like mine.

I played it on a 7850 2gb / i5 4ghz / 16 gb ddr3 / latest drivers around a month ago and it ran at 60 fps flawlessly.

 

[Megasoum]

What kind of sale is that? Vampire for 15$ and Singularity for 23$!?

 

[JaseC]

What kind of sale is that? Vampire for 15$ and Singularity for 23$!?

And no TimeShift.

HUGE THANKS TO 7extonly FOR MAKING THIS LIST!

wait, is ass creed 3 and ass revs steam redeemable?

I can't say no to 5 bucks for ass revs

 

[NaM]

Market search is not working for me, why do you do this to me gaben? WHY

 

[Out_Of_Ammo]

And no TimeShift.

No Sonic allstar racing transformed either :'(. Was hoping to finally pick that one up. Don't disappoint me too, steam!

 

[JaseC]

AssCreed 3 is, yes (just be sure to purchase the "Online Game Code" version), but not Revelations.

I'd like to pick up a copy for a mate on the cheap. I forgot all about that last time it was on sale.

 

[zkylon]

AssCreed 3 is, yes (just be sure to purchase the "Online Game Code" version), but not Revelations.

hmm, that sucks. 13 bucks is not such a clear choice

I'll just push it forward like always. I haven't played an ass creed game in a while but I feel the yearly exhaustion just from the games being released

 

[MNC]

24,39€ and counting. These card thingies are fucking amazing.

 

[JaseC]

I still can't purchase Gunslinger from Nuuvem due to alleged server overload. Fix your crummy servers already.

 

[Jørdan]

24,39€ and counting. These card thingies are fucking amazing.

Haha, congrats. My budget for the Steam sale is derived entirely from selling these, couldn't be more thankful for them.

 

[PetriP-TNT]

Want that Bioshock bundle!

 

[eyeless]

man those upcoming amazon sales are terrible, all like twice the price they've gone for before and hella non-steam keys

did the novelty of selling video games wear off for them or what

brothers in arms and i am alive aren't steam keys right

 

[JaseC]

brothers in arms and i am alive aren't steam keys right

Correct.

 

[Knurek]

If we have a repeat of last year, and Amazon beats Steam Seal on pricing, there will be a lot of wailing and teeth gnashing ITT

Anyone playing Rogue Legacy with Windows 8? Was about to pull the trigger with Dunder, but just read the steam page saying Windows 8 not fully supported.

 

[Ryan_]

God, I can't wait for the Steam Summer Sale. Gaben will seduce me once more to buy games I'll probably never play but I do think I need.

Also, how do you make so much money from selling cards?

[Tizoc]

Dear Gaben,
Gimme Space Quest Collection for 5 Smackers.
Thank you.

 

[Wario64]

Looks like Rise of the Triad is getting some Apogee Throwback Pack with pre-order, probably already mentioned before

It works flawlessly on Windows 8.

Spoiler

For me, anyway.

 

[Tak3n]

I might be missing something, but isn't BF3 Premium edition a steal at $20?

 

[Addnan]

Thanks, think I will buy it soon. Demo worked fine, so hopefully this will too.

 

[drizzle]

To buy or not to buy risen 2....

Ah, nice. There's also a separate sub for the pack, so at worst we'll just have another Worms Armageddon situation.

 

[Maxwood]

To buy or not to buy risen 2....

DO IT!
Just, don't expect a perfect game. (but what is?) If you like exploration and a piratey atmosphere, there's no reason not to buy that gem. Especially for that price.

But what about this...

How is Risen?

 

[need4speed]

But what about this...

Buy Gothic 1 and 2 instead.

 

[drizzle]

The Risen 2 Code from nuuvem registers as Risen 2 (DD Europe) on Steam.

I wonder if there's anything different from the US version?

 

[NIN90]

Risen 1 is amazing, Risen 2 is not..

 

[Pandemic]

HUGE THANKS TO 7extonly FOR MAKING THIS LIST!

[Amazon Summer Sale] - These are Steam activated titles. Except for the ones which say <Origin. Those are clearly Origin, I left them just because.

6/30-7/3:

• Assassin's Creed III - $13.31

Damn, that sounds cheap.. Might have to jump on that.. Unless STEAM offers it for less when they have their sale...

 

[Boss Doggie]

So what kind of game is Natural Selection 2 and how does it fair vs. Chivalry?

 

[Tak3n]

So what kind of game is Natural Selection 2 and how does it fair vs. Chivalry?

NS2 is very much team based shooter, where you aim is to control and build resources in a given area, you are given directions by a human commander

Chivalry whilst it does have objectives most people charge around just killing each other

 

[RionaaM]

Shit, just had my first BSoD in years. You know it's serious when Windows 7 completely crashes like this :/

 

[KarmaCow]

So what kind of game is Natural Selection 2 and how does it fair vs. Chivalry?

It's like an RTS where most of the players are the fodder units while one person plays as the commander who can place buildings and direct everyone else. The two sides have very different mechanics, like Terran vs Zerg in Starcraft.

Chivalry is a game where you chop heads off dudes with a giant sword while screaming like a maniac. It's like trying to compare Super Smash Brothers to DotA.

I disagree: Neither are good in your scenario, while Chivalry is amazing

Works fine for me. The only problem I ever had with it is that I couldn't get the Steam overlay to work the first time I ran it, but since then it's been fine. That might've just been me though.

 

[JaseC]

Shit, just had my first BSoD in years. You know it's serious when Windows 7 completely crashes like this :/

Win7 BSOD'd on me just before and now I'm getting a "Windows cannot boot because a required device cannot be detected" (paraphrased) error. If my SSD has kicked the bucket, I'm going to be so annoyed.

If I have to reinstall Windows, I might take this opportunity to give 8 a try.
