Damn, steam is a mind-reader in the past few weeks all the games i've considered buying have all got their prices cut.

I have the opposite problem. All these deals lately are things I either already have or have no interest in.

You can copy and crack Steam games out of the Steam folder, maybe that has something to do with it. I'm not sure though..

You can copy and crack everything, especially retail cds, but install limits are a no-buy for so many. Basically the retail has 0 DRM while the Steam version has 2 DRMs... that's just stupid.

The complete pack (which includes overlord 2) is cheaper than overlord 2, crazy. :lol

I did get everything in the package in case someone is wondering.

hahaha, this is great, i had just asked a few pages back if crysis has ever been discounted. I might have to jump at this now. Is it worth it to get the maximum pack or just buy one or the other?

Late last month: "I'll skip buying anything beyond DA:O until Black Friday."

Yesterday: "Well crap, I loved Battlestations Midway so I'll grab Pacific, but that's it."

Earlier today: "Demigod for $15? I've been dragging my feet for too long and this price is too good, but no more until until Black Friday."

There is a crazy overlord deal going on right now on Steam.

I just bought the overlord complete pack for 8.75!

Includes Overlord, Overlord expansion, and Overlord 2.

Steam sales have made me impulse buy so many games that I don't have time to play, and probably never will. Yet somehow, extending the length of my Steam Games list still feels good.

So there have been 4 Steam deals this week, right? I honestly fear the holiday sale.

Pretty much. I was still trying to rationalize buying Mass Effect as I don't know when the hell I'm gonna be able to play through that, and now this... Thought at first I'd get only the first Overlord, but seeing how the expansion+sequel is only €3.50 more... and full price of just the sequel is an insane €50... sigh.

will learn eventually
Crysis Warhead, Overload complete, Demigod on Impulse

By all that is good and right in this World, the temptation is so strong! I should buy them all! But my will must be stronger. Curse you, damnable digital download sales!

Activation limits are pretty much the one kind of DRM that will guarantee I won't purchase the game.
Click to expand...

Yep, same for me. Other DRM will keep me away until the price is heavily reduced, but activation limits are a dealbreaker.

Overlord pack = so bought. I was scared when I saw the games didn't appear in my game list though, quick restart solved that.

Will have to buy Crysis (separated of course) and Overlord pack.

The Witcher, CoD4, Mass Effect

And I still want to buy Torchlight

Fuck Steam

Why is the Crysis Complete Pack 15 bucks more then buying both games separately?




I got a new job today, so I can indulge myself:D

I had the same thing happen to me. Bought and weren't in my list. Restart worked as well.

Me too. I would have got all panicky if it wasn't for looking here first.

I was thinking of buying Overlord 2 at some point, so this price for all three is irresistible.

Damn you Steam, I was vowing not to buy any more games this year literally 30 minutes before this deal went up you bastards!

I was kind of hoping they'd do L4D1 for free this weekend to try to get some more sales for 2 (and to play with a couple folks that don't have 1).

They just recently had a 15 dollar sale. The lowest they might go is five bucks which is absolutely fantastic.

On another topic...

I just recently got a group invite on Steam. I haven't had my account for very long. How do group invites work? What benefits do they have?

What's up with the crysis pack price? I get to pay an extra $15 for the maximum pack because ... it's maximum?

It's probably a bug on the system. Pay close attention and you'll see it's a 15 USD discount on each title, and a 15 USD discount on the pack itself (as opposed to being a 30 USD discount).

I'm betting on it being just a bug.

Yeah the activation limit on Crysis is bullshit, but I'd still say the game is more than worth it...$30 for the double pack is a good deal. Definitely one of the best shooters on PC (despite the awful story).

goddamnit overlord goddamnit

I bought Cleark Sky not knowing about the activation limits (but did they remove the limits? I thought I read something about it).

I wonder if it's anything more than sheer laziness that SecuROM is not removed from Crysis on Steam.

Mostly stuff for the community tab in the Steam client. Webpage, announcements, schedules, combined stats, group chat etc. Left4Dead also uses them to search for "Friend" games, which is nice.

It seems like a pretty useful feature. I'll just hold on the invite for now.

thanks

NOW steam gets the overlord expansion. I bought it on D2D like 6 months ago because it came with the expansion and couldn't find it in stores at all. Of course I still bought it again, Steam is easier to download from than D2D (faster too), and it came with Overlord 2.

And Crysis...been waitin for you at that price, step right in. I'll bend over nice and easy for you and Steam.
