Picked up Vertiginous Golf in the auction yesterday for around $3, figured that was lower than any sale price it would get and it was a lot different than anything else I had (and I'm a huge steampunk fan). Played it for a little while this afternoon, it's a good looking game, but it's more putt-putt than I realized, I thought it was going to be more like weird but traditional golf. The courses are neat and it plays pretty well but I clearly should have looked into it a bit more. I'm sure I'll play it some more, I like putt-putt well enough, but I am a bit disappointed it isn't something more.

It should run just fine! That's pretty much my set up.

Do any Americans actually have hardcapped bandwidth? I (an American) personally don't and I rarely even get throttled. The 45-50mbps download speed is pretty decent as well.

Do you suppose they'll ever recover, or has the vast amount of cards that have now been and will continue to be generated by gem-created booster packs permanently changed the card economy?Price of cards drops like a stone as soon as the sale starts

So does Flight Simulator X suck without a flight stick?

Awesome deal. The game experience is massively improved on PC. Near-instant load times made it a lot more enjoyable.
Buy this, people!

Why didn't anyone tell me we have a new thread?

I hope those horrible Steam winter sale elves don't usurp the mascotship of the other guys.

Worth it even if it has GFWL?

Not sure if it was mentioned, but E.Y.E: Divine Cybermancy is on sale for 90% off (or $1).
I've heard that it was pretty flawed, but still a really good game if you can get past its failings. Definitely picking it up since I missed the last sale on it. (Yes, I'm breaking my "wait for the dailies!" rule, but I doubt it's going lower than 90% off this sale.)

That's what 2 and Infinity are for. Infinity specifically has a random generator to let you keep playing for a very long time.
GFWL is already confirmed to be removed from Dead Rising 2 down the line.
That reminds me, I bought 2 in the summer sale (at least I hope it wasn't last WINTER sale lol) and haven't played it yet. Could have gotten all three for less...
Oh man, that sounds great! I'll pick them up later this week then.
MGR:R had lots of russian mechabear copies.
MGS:GZ doesn't.

...but its not a daily/featured, so I should wait right?
To be fair, Metal Gear Rising had a preorder phase. So there were many purchases piled up and many people already owned it on release day, which leads to a bigger number of people playing it at the same time.
.... you might want to check your sources on that one
. Rising was actually the first title applying ACRTAG. cheap Russian mechabear copies never existed.It's going to be that price until the end of the sale, so yes.

And while MGR:R is a full game, MGS:GZ is still a "bigger" demo with just one area.

Ground Zeroes is the nº1 game in the top sellers list, maybe people are buying it but not playing?
I already got 5 hours out of it, best $9.43 I've spent in a while.

That's true about the Preorder thing. Plus... I've purchased and downloaded the game but I haven't even touched it.
Yep

Just finished my first playthrough of Ground Zeroes. It's the first Metal Gear game I've ever played, but I loved every second of it. I need to get my hands on the other games and play through them, and now I'm hyped as fuck for TPP. Definitely a series I can get invested in. Hopefully they'll release a collection on Steam too.
Also, I'm amazed at how well it ran on my laptop, i7-2670QM/6GB RAM/GT 525M. Played on all the lowest settings, and the game ran smooth as butter. Funnily enough, it only ever got choppy when it was showing a TPP clip at the very end. Really well optimized.
It is pretty short (I clocked in at 2.5 hours), and leaves much to be desired, but having paid only $9 for it, I'm positive I'll get my money's worth in subsequent playthroughs.

Man, I hate that Ubisoft doesn't discount the Rocksmith song packs and only discounts the individual songs.
I mean, I'm fine buying the songs separately, but it totally sucks that I could just buy the pack at 50% off. At least I can cherry-pick the songs that I know suck.

PPSSPP works decently. Not perfect tho

Right now, a new set of Flash deals would be appearing.

At least we won't get any repeats between community choices, dailies and flashs.
Right?
Riiiight.
You gotta play the multiplayer. You've never played peace walker until you've used the ULTIMATE COMBINED WEAPON
i'm cool as long as it runs decently on my pc.
well that's what i get for buying my psp used (turns out it wasn't in mint condition as advertised -__-)
The sale snuck up on me this year, I was glad that I didn't miss out on any flash sales.

Damn want to pull the trigger on MGS:GZ. Is it recommended for someone who hasn't played an MGS game before. What do GAF?

Excuse me while I channel my inner-Stalin...
Ask about a game's worth? Shot.
Klei supporter? Shot.
Yaiba hater? Shot.
Lost against Dunder in Speedrunners? Shot.
At least now we won't have a situation where a game appears in a vote once, loses, and is never offered up at all.
Silver linings, man. Silver linings.

I'd wait for the inevitable DX11 version complete with all DLCs.
Yup that's the plan. Glad I waited for that inevitable remaster.
