haha I know. I was planning on playing FEAR or Rayman Origins tonight but it seems I'll be glued to this thread discussing sales and such.

I can't read a good thing about F.E.A.R. without thinking: a) "you're a smart person, and I like you already"; and b) "I feel like replaying it again, but I shouldn't".

I also used to think c) "F.E.A.R. 3 is the worst thing that humanity ever made, after cheese", but after trying it in co-op a few days ago I sadly realized it can be pretty fun. Which is a shame, because I liked to criticize the game almost as much as I disliked playing it.

 

[KarmaCow]

Just a reminder Batman: AO will be 20bux tommorow on amazon.

Is there some list of all the games going on sale, preferably one that is nicely organized?

Also, is there anything about the sales being recycled for the Winter(/Summer?) besides that leaked email? Because it'd be kinda odd if Valve just stretched all the sales for this one week event for across the two week version shortly after.

 

[BasilZero]

Oh noes ;(

Mah wallet cant take the abuse anymore lol.

 

[PandaPedinte]

I may burn a few edges here and there and the bread may not taste the same but....isn't bread still bread no matter which toaster you toast it with?

It's so poetic.

 

[grosvenor_92]

I'm pretty sure all of these special sales ends with a "Best of..." daily deal sale.

Ok I might hold off for now then and see what else goes on sale

You are my source of hope, Sajjaja. Keep fighting the jaggy fight.

 

[Atraveller]

PC is the only way to play Skyrim.

Fixed.

Import fees, delivery fees, exchange rates, tracking. I don't trust the postal service enough either. It's just too much of a hassle to do cross border online shopping with delicate products.

Too bad.

My family just got a new HDTV, I can't wait to buy some Blurays from amazon.

 

[Articalys]

Heh, I just realized that this sale almost perfectly overlaps Hanukkah by coincidence.

Better than starving, I suppose.

I need you to play the other Dead Space games and take more screenshots. The wizardry is fascinating.

 

[Antiwhippy]

This might be the first steam sale where I don't feel like buying anything.

I feel like I've lost my innocence.

 

[Servizio]

Ah that's a shame, guess I'll hold off on it then.

He might be talking about how the game ran when it first came out. Several game patches and video driver updates have literally doubled Skyrim's performance since it's release.

Some of the most popular and easy to install mods are the ones that give it a more PC friendly UI.

Mouse acceleration...Is still there, sadly. You can alleviate but not totally get rid of it.

Wow, thx for posting this. Was secretly hoping for a Saints Row IV deal and $15 seems about the right price

Thanks. I guess the only thing I'm waiting for outside of Steam is the Payday 2 sale on Friday then.

That was for State of Decay.

Against my better judgement I went ahead and used the rest of my card money on Rogue Legacy. Hopefully I won't regret it (lol).

 

[MarcoZombieCannon]

I grabbed Thief and Wizardry without waiting for dailies, because they're so damn low already. As soon as I finish Deadly Premonition I'm moving into my first replay of Thief since around the time it came out.

Ooo, I might rebuy these if they're that cheap. I have the first two on disc (with no way to install them on Windows 8 as far as I can tell) and Deadly Shadows on Xbox...

 

[Li Kao]

Nope but I beta tested the Steam Machines and they are the best thing ever and each one of them come with a Gabe plush.

Is it washable ?

 

[human onion]

Will Thief II go down any more? I doubt it, but I'd like some input.

 

[Dusk Golem]

Last alert, Deadly Premonition: Director's Cut and Outlast giveaway ends in 20 minutes.

It'll be the game that decides if your taste is terrible or not.

 

[Anustart]

Just throwing this out there boys! I'm willing to make the trade of a lifetime! My 2 organ trail cards, organ trail background, scribblenauts background, kerbal summer sale background, organ trail zombie emote, camel emote from scribblenauts AND, that's not it! Also ostcardf: for Sleeping Dogs.

This deal won't last!

In other news, I fixed my Fallout 3 crashing problems, so they guy who wants to see a video of the magic doors will get to once I get back to that area!

 

[chronomac]

Just played Gone Home for about an hour. Stopped for a breather because I got a little stuck but I'm liking it.

Anyone else having issues with the game running, for like of a better term, like crap? It booted into 1080p with all graphical options on and was seriously dragging. So I turned all that off and bumped it down to 720p and it's not a whole bunch better. It takes forever to turn around and the frame rate is awful.

 

[MarcoZombieCannon]

Will Thief II go down any more? I doubt it, but I'd like some input.

I would guess no. It seems pretty dang cheap as is, and I doubt it will get dailied.

 

[Boss Doggie]

I really doubt old games like Wizardry would get lower. $3.75 on all 3 games is a catch.

Again though - if "Wiz8.exe has stopped working" copy the folder and paste it elsewhere. For some odd reason running the game through Steam causes problems.

 

[Derrick01]

It'll be the game that decides if your taste is terrible or not.

No indie game is going to decide that.

 

[-Deimos]

Import?

Spoiler

We don't celebrate Christmas here. And we don't have sales.

Shipping and import charges are crazy.

 

[NihonTiger90]

Looking at Sleeping Dogs right now for $5.

Also considering Rogue Legacy, but I feel like I've seen it cheaper in the Humble Bundle Store.

 

[Card Boy]

All the XCOM games + DLC minus the new expansion is 10bucks on Amazon
Enslaved Premium Edition is 10bucks

Thank you based Tony.

 

[ramoisdead]

I grabbed Thief and Wizardry without waiting for dailies, because they're so damn low already.

I doubt the Wizardry games will go any lower than 75% for that Wizardry 6, 7, & 8 pack. I'll wait to the last day so I can scoop that up.

 

[scorpscarx]

Out of all of those games, Sleeping Dogs is the best and most impressive, buy it immediately.

 

[Hip Hop]

Just bought Gone Home instead of Skyrim.

Hope I made the right choice.

But cheese is delicious.

Good luck with that.

 

[human onion]

Alright, getting it. I liked the first one, but the supernatural levels put me off (Goddamn Return to the Cathedral). II seems like more of what I liked.

 

[xenoflux2113]

I am honestly curious as to how you will review the game.

Amzon's shipping fee to Canada is only a few dollars.

I think it's 9.99 on the humble store

Is it washable ?

yes and it keeps gabe scent

 

[wilflare]

what should I buy GAF?
any game that is good to chase away depression blues?

 

[jim-jam bongs]

I was thinking of buying a new car, should I get it now or wait to see if it's a daily?

I may burn a few edges here and there and the bread may not taste the same but....isn't bread still bread no matter which toaster you toast it with?

Should have gone with "my toast is more cinematic"

 

[PandaPedinte]

Cook serve delicious

 

[-Deimos]

Half the stuff they sell doesn't ship to Canada and the shipping+import charges are still substantial. What items are you looking at the have shipping for a few bucks?

 

[MarcoZombieCannon]

Get it now, it will never be cheaper than it is right now

Should have gone with "my toast is more cinematic"

Burnt toast = Michael Bay aftermath

 

[Sajjaja]

I need you to play the other Dead Space games and take more screenshots. The wizardry is fascinating.

I got free time after this week so I'll manage to get some Dead Space 2 in there

Should have gone with "my toast is more cinematic"

10 FPS is so cinematic >_<

 

[DXLelouch153]

SMB to replace depression with anger
lol

 

[Atraveller]

For Sajjaja it's "Computers, Electronics", $7.99 per shipment,$1.99/lb per item.

 

[Li Kao]

How is Chainsaw Warrior? It looks like a good boardgame.

Reviews haven't been too kind. Can't say for sure since I never played it but the feeling I got from these was that it was a good adaptation... of a bad game. Well to be precise, not exactly terrible, just an 80's game that should have stayed there.

 

[DXLelouch153]

dont think im gonna bother using PR tommorrow
gonna try out these new games i bought+ Guacamelee hopefully if it goes flash/daily next
Dust+Ninja can wait till Winter sales

 

[Talyn]

How is Chainsaw Warrior? It looks like a good boardgame.

It's a very faithful adaptation of an old boardgame and people seem to either like it or really hate it. I enjoy it but I knew what I was getting into before I bought it. The gameplay itself consists of nothing but clicking. You roll a character by clicking to roll dice for his stats. You then select equipment for him. (On easy you see what you are selecting, on harder difficulties that info is hidden from you so while you may know you've chosen a hand to hand weapon or a gun, you've no idea which specific gear you've chosen until you actually begin.)

You then click your way thru 2 decks of 54 cards, each card represents an environment which contains either nothing, an enemy, or an event (mostly traps.) When you encounter an enemy, you can either attempt to shoot it, if you have a gun, or fight it hand to hand. Combat is also resolved via clicking to roll dice, of course. The deck is stacked against you, literally. It's designed to be hard as hell and the random nature of it all means you will die, a lot. Often in frustrating ways. But it is beatable even on hard mode and in my mind it's sort of casual in a way. You can run it in a window and just focus on it for a few turns, then get back to whatever you were doing, then go back to it for a few more turns when you have a spare moment.

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

To do anything beyond what you could do with the WYSISYG interface, yeah.

No, I get that.

 

[Gameboy415]

Awww yeah, nabbed Gone Home for $4.99!
