What is that?
--
GMG's 50 Must-Play-Games has HL2 Episode 1&2. I have base HL2 and need the 2 Episodes but 4,74€? Eh, I'll have to pass that deal as I have everything else.
--
Also, Greenmangaming has updated its 30 Must-Play-Indie games with the final 10-1 games. Go here and be disappointed with the prices
http://www.greenmangaming.com/30-must-have-indie-titles/

Edit: Wait, did I beat Turfster with two deal-posts in the same day? Holy.. Turfster are you okay? Are you okay Turfster?

In order:
A) publisher weekends are usually themed, with a big tentpole franchise each day.
Today is Civilization day, and we can probably expect a Bioshock, Borderlands and XCOM day later on.
B) The HL2 episodes were technically included in my TOP 11 update earlier
B) The GMG indie top 10 was updated days ago and I mentioned it. Remember me griping about Velvet Ass?

Going back to work now!

That Beyond Earth UK pricing is weird. It says £39.99 but discounted to £29.99, without any discount %. Pretty sure it's a mistake and it should just be £39.99, like it seems to be in every other digital store (for example Gamersgate) using £ as currency.

I'd say buy it while you can, that's cheap compared to other regions. I remember they (2k) had a similar thing with some other game in the past so maybe the weird discount lasts until release, who knows. Ah well, at least it's 49.99€ in my region so I'll have to find another source for that game, too.

Just arrived home and saw the price mistake mentioned regarding Stronghold Crusader 2 on the last page, that's two recent price mistakes in such short time, correct?

Also, Civilization Beyond Earth is looking better and better, I saw that gameplay video where they had some people behind the person who was playing doing silly things with a horse head and other stuff.

I'm new to steam, I actually made my account yesterday and bought over 100$ worth of games, I'm not really mad but from now on I won't buy any game on steam unless it's on sale.
I learned a good lesson today.

You know, I got over 100 games for 100 bucks. Really sorry you overpayed but know we are here so you don't make the same mistake again

Crytek's MOBA first gameplay trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wAmenVEgGNQ

Wait, that's what they meant when they said to polish their image by producing quality games? Man, Crytek's gonna fall very shortly when they don't get to their senses soon.

We missed the 1 yen Freedom Cry one by being EU people and sleeping

 

[JustLynx]

-99% off would be a better glitch.

i agree
but its like 12$(russia) for a game that isn't out yet, still a great deal

 

[freshVeggie]

Borderlands 2 game night, anyone?

Sounds good. I'd be up, but I gotta install and test performance first, so tonight's a bit bad.

Damn, I got teached by the Turf! You cool, man.

when is that BL2 Complete coming out argh

 

[Ezalc]

I think you have to give it now. Also, you need better friends.

I'm going to find the one unfortunate soul and descend my misplaced vengence on their poor feeble selves as soon as I finish idling cards.

 

[Turfster]

It's okay, we're still friends


Don't Starve multiplayer closed beta the 23rd of next month.
The new Humble book bundle is really good, guys.

Welcome, brother. : )

Between Steam sales and bundles, that $100 could've netted you several hundred dollars worth of games. : / Don't worry, though - folks here will steer you right.

 

[dark_inferno]

Wow Humble just released a Sega Mobile Bundle.

 

[MarcoZombieCannon]

Dunno if this is old news or what, but the beta netcode patch for USF4 is live.

Ouch...! Now that seems like a great deal, shame we missed indeed. That's not even 0.01€ I believe, how did that happen? As someone who finished the console version of Black Flag not too long ago that would have been a very welcome standalone.

Thanks for letting me know either way my good man Turfster!

Spoiler

I was not even sleeping, probably catching a train, ugh!

That's the harshest lesson you will learn related to Steam :/ It gets better from here.

Welcome

Probably never, I must say pushing out more DLCs after the release of GOTY edition is shameless.

The yen was introduced, and someone at Ubi made an important typo
There are apparently still some copies available from traders, but they're starting to up their prices to 2 keys, the greedy capitalist pigs!

Spoiler

Yeah, I was driving someone to the airport and when I came back, it was all over

 

[TheLetdown]

That has single-handedly prevented me from buying the GOTY, and the game at all, on multiple occasions.

Wow they actually did that? How much more DLC did they add that you would need to get if you bought the GOTY edition?

 

[Eternia]

Chu Chu Rocket! Unfortunately that's probably the only thing that interests me and it's already $1 at regular price.

 

[Sendou]

Managed to get a copy of the new Guacamelee: STCE from Twitter. I'm quite satisfied with myself. That's a game I'll play.

Follow this and this account if you want to do the same. They still apparently have keys to give away.

I don't think that is going to happen as long as Borderlands 2 keeps selling decently as it is, and the same thing goes for Bioshock Infinite methinks.

 

[Tellaerin]

A question for you good people:

I've got around $10 in card money atm.

I enjoyed Borderlands. (Don't judge me! ) Played through the GOTY solo and had a good time. (Except for the Colosseum. Kinda bailed on that. >_<)

If I'd mainly be soloing, would it be worth it for me to pick up Borderlands 2 GOTY while it's on sale, or should I hold onto my Idle Mastered hard-earned gabens and put them toward something else?

I started playing it a couple days ago and its great, go for it.

Hell no.
It's the most boring "oh we thought there would be more of you to take on these stupid waves of enemies" slogfest ever.
(yes, I finished it)

You can buy BL2 vanilla, you're not missing much with DLC content.

The Tiny Tina one was quite good. The Pirate and Torgue ones were pretty decent. Can't comment on Hammerlock's though, didn't play that one.

The season pass folks also got screwed over.

Yeah, however I can't say how much, I've lost track of them.

There is a Borderlands 2 GOTY free wekkend, isn't it, so you may try it out.

It's definitely a better game than the first Borderlands.

 

[Sendou]

Seems to me that the cool thing these days is making one of the characters ? so that key-grab bots aren't as useful. Not sure if they even have bots that can cope with that. Maybe.

Yup. Really soured me on the whole 'season pass' thing.

 

[corrosivefrost]

I saw that someone from capybara was in the Steam thread a day or so ago -- he mentioned something about a contest for two STFU keys and said one was claimed by whoever had successfully guessed the 3 new chars.

Did he ever say if he chose the "dumbest" one?

Don't listen to Turf he doesn't like anything.
I say go ahead and buy it. I played the game solo, and was amazed at how good of a boring time simulation this game was.

That game has an ridiculous amount of DLC! Are they just extra quests?

Grrr, Sonic 2 is not available in my region for whatever crazy reason (iOS) >=/
If it is in this bundle I'll consider getting it.

Hahaha, I will definitely check this thread before I go on a buying spree.

And for those full priced games I bought, I know I will get my money worth out of them regardless how much I paid, so I'm not angry or anything.

It's an android only bundle.

Disagree there. DLC is very good. Especially Tiny Tina's which might be my favorite DLC ever.

I played a little bit of it solo and it was really hard! But I am absolutely terrible at FPS games and never play them, so my difficulty rating is probably skewed. BL2 is really fun from what I've played.

 

[$h@d0w]

Sega Mobile bundle seems z bit meaningless since I got them all with Amazon coins already.

Damn that's tempting....
