I didn't buy anything! Yay me.

I'll definitely pick up Witcher 2, Torchlight II and more stuff during the Christmas sale, though.

I can't wait for this thread to be closed and the new Steam Announcements OT. Don't take it personal guys but it was getting cramped in here with all the non-regulars.

lol

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
LttP.

Don't forget to buy Bastion, guys. Please do it.

Seems like I am not wanted here, simply because I don't have enough time to post in every thread that I read.
Such a shame, I thought Steam Gaf was top tier Gaf.
Seems like Steam sales are for the every-man too, you know.
Or would you prefer Gaben to personally invite you?
But never-mind, I didn't take your comment personally!

Glass Rebel's post goes directly against what I posted :( I like all you new folks.

edit: after his clarification I agree a bit :) post after post of what people bought is best suited for its own thread. lol

I clarified it later. Sorry for making it sound that I don't welcome any newcomers to the thread.

Yeah I saw your clarification after I posted.
I do agree to some extent, just the wording in the first post lead me to wonder why you felt it necessary to post such a thing in the first place.
Honestly, I did not think that you could post about game issues/crashes/pc problems in the normal Steam thread.
So if I get stuck on a game that wont boot properly or something, I can post in Steam?
That's pretty cool.

Absolutely, every time I asked about technical issues I encountered in a game (like the aspect ratio in Max Payne 2) I got several responses with links to patches or fixes.

I'm just waxing philosophical about Glass Rebel's utopia.

uh-huh

Probably going to buy Torchlight 2... if anyone could answer me these questions before I make the purchase, I'd appreciate it:

- New game plus? How much harder does it get?
- Are the classes actually fun?
- How much loot is there? D2, D3?
- How hard is the game from start?
- How long is it the first time through?
- Who made the music? Is it the D2-dude?
- Are the affixes on gear actually fun/experimental?

Thanks.

Generally speaking, PC gaming chatter is acceptable in the general Steam thread simply because it's by far the most active PC gaming-related thread, much like how the "I need a new PC!" thread doubles as the "I have a problem with my PC!" thread.

I can answer this one! Yes, Matt Uelmen composed the soundtrack.

Actually the "I need a new PC" guys helped me learn how to build my own rig and they are really good for hardware stuff.
But I never knew where to post for my software troubles, I mostly just bumbled about on google. Seriously, in google-fu, I dont have a black belt, I'm not even allowed in the dojo.
The steam thread guys are gonna get sick of seeing my avatar lol.

Pretty hard, you get one-shot really easily, act 3 can be nasty

- Are the classes actually fun?

Very much so, Zerker is my fave but they all shine

- How much loot is there? D2, D3?

Hard to compare, but loads and it's great

- How hard is the game from start?

Eases you in a little, Act 3 on any difficulty can be scary


- How long is it the first time through?

I have 32 hours played and I completed it once and did some Mapworks and some alts, so maybe 20 hours if you do all the quests?

- Who made the music? Is it the D2-dude?

I thought it was D1, but yes, that guy, it's amazing.

- Are the affixes on gear actually fun/experimental?

IMHO yes, nothing that changes you into stuff but there are some that make you godly, the flavour text is nice on the better gear.

Thanks.

Fact is, it's dirt cheap right now and anyone should get it at that price, it's better than D3 imho.

So, I have SSF4AE from GFWL. Is there any way I can download the DLC costumes on Steam and use it with that copy? Is there any way to get my copy working on Steam? I'm sorry if these questions are dumb, but with the costume packs so cheap I wouldn't mind dropping 4 bucks on all the alts.

Nope, you need to own the game on your Steam account to buy the DLC.

So I think I'll actually sit out Deponia. It would just be too much and it will probably be on sale again in the winter anyway.

So what I actually picked up:

Basement Collection
Binding of Isaac
Mirror's Edge
Puzzle Agent
To The Moon
Witcher 1 Enhanced Edition
Zeno Clash

Not a bad deal for ca. 15,70€

Since, today's the last day of sales, I've purchased all the stuff I wanted to get before but didn't in case they became flash sales or dailies. Since I have no credit card to purchase games with, I bought them all via a friend of mine.

Games:
Dustforce $4.99
English Country Tune $1.24
Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams $8.99
Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet $7.49
inMomentum $2.49
Total: $25.20

I might also buy the Trine 2 DLC and Super Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition if I get the chance.

Huh, Ride To Hell Retribution (that Deep Silver game) in the steam registry, I thought everyone assumed that was cancelled.

Edit: to be clear, I'm not a fan of pages of people posting their haul. The Steam OT has its own problems like multi-post gifting extravaganzas as well but I never felt it was as bad as this.
But man, look at what I've got. C'mon, look at it!!!




















WHY AREN'T YOU LOOKING AT IT?

Whoa. I was wondering, like two years ago where this game had gone. I wonder if it's still a sand box game. I thought this was being made by some former Rockstar guys.

My fortitude is getting better! There were a ton of cheap games at a good price that I would most certainly enjoy, but I really don't like giant backlogs. Just stresses me out. I ended up with Walking Dead and Torchlight 2 for $20 total, and that'll keep me busy for a long time to come I'm sure.
