Seems they've added World at War to the list.

 

[Oreoleo]

Edit: I'm blind disregard please

 

[Zaraki_Kenpachi]

Yeah, it seems they're getting bombarded at the moment. Mine eventually went through though, you just have to give it a minute or two.

Ya, finally went through. Took almost a full 2 minutes, longest it's ever taken.

 

[Owzers]

I'm checking from my phone and it's saying $13.60 for the complete bundle. Is that right? I've been waiting for a civ4 bundle discount.

Buy now , think later.

 

[Volcynika]

ugh this is depressing

how is MW2 the #1 best selling game on Steam right now when it's not even on sale?

It's revenue based. Sell one copy, another game has to sell over $60 worth for each copy sold.

 

[G_Berry]

world at war showing on Aussie store $24.99

 

[Zaraki_Kenpachi]

I now own EVERYTHING on that list except FIFA manager . . . because I'm not a Limey.

(Max Payne pack was double-dipping from retail.)

Same here, only deal I could get was civ IV.

 

[sgnhh]

Their servers must be getting hammered, I'm sitting at checkout trying to buy Civ4 Complete and the "Purchase" button says "Working..." after about 2 minutes.

Edit: It finally went through, but it's still in my cart? Weird.

 

[rohlfinator]

Looks like they took the Civ expansions off the daily deal list.

You would think they'd have these things worked out ahead of time. :lol

 

[Papa]

Anyone in the US willing to help a poor Australian out? Need someone to gift me the Max Payne bundle. Will gift a ~$5 game back.

 

[Oreoleo]

Same happened to me with Max Payne. Check your games list it might be there even if the page doesn't load.

 

[graywolf323]

Seems they've added World at War to the list.

well this is encouraging to my hope that the Call of Duty: War Chest might eventually go on sale

 

[Brashnir]

Couldn't pass up Civ 4 complete. bought the original game when it came out but never got the expansions or Colonization.

 

[BuddhaRockstar]

Never played a Civ game before, but this is probably the best time to try one out. Do the expansions add a lot to the core game or are they just extra content? Might just go with the $7 regular version to see if I like it.

 

[NG28]

Ugh bought Civ4 when price on complete went up, now its back down. Damnit.

 

[careksims]

well this is encouraging to my hope that the Call of Duty: War Chest might eventually go on sale

THIS! My goodness, I'm hoping that will be discounted!

 

[kai3345]

ffffuuu

it still wont let me buy L4D

 

[Volcynika]

Ugh bought Civ4 when price on complete went up, now its back down. Damnit.

Send in a support ticket and see if you can get the difference back.

 

[Killer]

So i liked the Civ Revolution (console version) and never played on the PC. Is the gameplay the same on both versions?

Same here!!

 

[NG28]

I didn't buy the complete though, I just bought the origial for $7

 

[krzy123]

Civ IV Compete - 13.60
Max Payne 1 & 2 - 3.74
Osmos - 1.99
DoD:S - 2.49
Lumines Base + Adv. - 2.99
Indigo Prophecy - 3.39
Total - 28.20


Ugh my steam backlog is already monstrous

 

[gyrspike]

Looks like I got "Torched" by the Civ 4 Complete sale today. I just bought the Civ 4 Complete pack for $26 on Monday and haven't even touched it yet.

 

[Vinterbird]

Anyone else stuck with a "Working" when trying to purchase at the moment?

 

[Delerat]

Looks like they took the Civ expansions off the daily deal list.

You would think they'd have these things worked out ahead of time. :lol

Despite them being taken off they're still at the price they were when they were daily. Not sure if that means they were already this low, or if they're leaving them that way.

Considering I own all of Civ 4 except for Colonization, does anyone know what happens if I buy the complete pack? Do I pay $13 and just get Colonization? Normally they don't let you buy something twice, but if it's in a pack you haven't bought then the checkout button isn't greyed out.(I realize it's cheaper to buy Colonization itself anyways, I'm just curious)

 

[Zaraki_Kenpachi]

well this is encouraging to my hope that the Call of Duty: War Chest might eventually go on sale

The warchest doesn't even have allied assault? WTF is that?

 

[careksims]

Why is Max Payne 1 and 2 shown separate for $2.49 EACH when the bundle is only $3.74? Put that bundle instead and get another game on sale!

Not exactly the same, but the concept is the same. The PC game is a bit more complex and games take longer to complete, but they're pretty similar.

 

[speculawyer]

Anyone in the US willing to help a poor Australian out? Need someone to gift me the Max Payne bundle. Will gift a ~$5 game back.

I'll do this for people that need it if you paypal me.

 

[rohlfinator]

Considering I own all of Civ 4 except for Colonization, does anyone know what happens if I buy the complete pack? Do I pay $13 and just get Colonization?

Yes. At least, that's how it's handled other packs I've bought.

Why Steam is awesome:

Heh, I should dump some of my redundant games too. I've double-dipped on Far Cry 2, Mass Effect, Assassin's Creed, and Burnout Paradise now.

 

[Dipper145]

Got Civ IV complete, Osmos, and Max Payne Pack.

Only my 2nd purchase this sale, I'm surprised I haven't bought more. I was hoping Osmos would go on sale again since I missed it during the black friday one.

 

[Delerat]

Looks like I got "Torched" by the Civ 4 Complete sale today. I just bought the Civ 4 Complete pack for $26 on Monday and haven't even touched it yet.

That's why I'm not buying anything not on a daily deal until the last day.

So i liked the Civ Revolution (console version) and never played on the PC. Is the gameplay the same on both versions?

I believe they're very different. The console versions are much more simplified for a quicker game. Go for the PC if you want a lot more in depth strategy in the game.

 

[biocat]

Somebody must have made a mistake this morning. The front page games keep changing and now there is World at War, as well.

 

[speculawyer]

They added:

Call of Duty: World at War
Call of Duty is back, redefining war like you've never experienced before. Building on the Call of Duty 4®: Modern Warfare engine, Call of Duty: World at War immerses players into the most gritty and chaotic WWII combat ever experienced.... more $49.99 $24.99

No thanks.

Edit: (Or do I want this? Is the CoD4 engine that great? Is this particular game that good? Are people playing online?)

 

[Killer]

Not exactly the same, but the concept is the same. The PC game is a bit more complex and games take longer to complete, but they're pretty similar.

thanks. would you recommend it? i think what i liked about the consoles version its simplicity.

 

[poweld]

Picked up the Complete edition and put in a ticket to refund me the cost of CivIV. I have a feeling they'll make good on this.

 

[aaaaaa]

Never played a Civ game before, but this is probably the best time to try one out. Do the expansions add a lot to the core game or are they just extra content? Might just go with the $7 regular version to see if I like it.

Colonization is a complete game by itself. The other two are standard unneeded expansions.

 

[Delerat]

Why is Max Payne 1 and 2 shown separate for $2.49 EACH when the bundle is only $3.74? Put that bundle instead and get another game on sale!

It doesn't really work like that. It's not like there is shelf space where if they take 2 Max Payne's down and put up the pack that they have room for one more. Originally these daily sales only had 5 slots, then they went to 6, then when all those Civs were on we were at 8, now they've gone back down to 7.

 

[biocat]

So i liked the Civ Revolution (console version) and never played on the PC. Is the gameplay the same on both versions?

Civ:revolution is to Civ4 as Connect 4 is to chess.

 

[vocab]

Edit: (Or do I want this? Is the CoD4 that great? Is this game that good? Are people playing online?)

COD1=COD2>COD4>WAW>MW2

In that order. I personally think WAW is horrible, but it's more playable than MW2.

 

[Volcynika]

I didn't buy the complete though, I just bought the origial for $7

Then try what poweld did, try to get a refund then buy Civ IV Complete. Couldn't hurt to try!

 

[Papa]

I'll do this for people that need it if you paypal me.

Appreciated, but someone has offered to do it for me already. Besides, I don't have any funds in my PayPal account and that takes a week to clear, doesn't it? I can only offer a gift-back as compensation, unfortunately

 

[Servbot #42]

It's not Valve's Fault. It's Rockstar's fault. Somebody has the rights to sell rockstar shit down here in Brazil, and that person/group didn't give up the rights for Steam to do it.

Just ask for somebody from where the game is available to gift it to you and pay them through paypal (ideally, pay them first, so they can use the paypal funds to pay for the game).

I can't, i use someone i know (that also lives here in chile) in order to buy games and that person doesn't use paypal so i am screwed which is the main reason i am angry.

 

[Cindres]

Actually kinda tempted to buy MP1 and 2, i have both on disc, and 2 definitely works but i don't think the disc for 1 actually works...
It's been a while since i replayed it.

Which is another point. I've definitely finished MP1 and 2 more times than any other game. Fuck i love it.

EDIT: Bought, i'm a fucking sucker.

 

[Brashnir]

thanks. would you recommend it? i think what i liked about the consoles version its simplicity.

I can't imagine someone liking CivRev and not liking Civ 4, unless You found Rev to be at the limit of your complexity and/or time spent range.

 

[Submarino Conversível]

Who wants to buy Civ IV complete for me?

 

[Wrekt]

I could not buy L4D 1 fast enough. I borrowed it from a coworker on 360 but after playing the sequel with a mouse and keyboard I just couldn't really enjoy it. Time to play it for realsies.

 

[drizzle]

I can't, i use someone i know (that also lives here in chile) in order to buy games and that person doesn't use paypal so i am screwed which is the main reason i am angry.

You can't? Are you aware that neogaf has millions of nice users that are USA residents that have paypal accounts? Just three messages above yours somebody already offered their "i'll buy a game for you if you pay for me" services.

 

[shock33]

Colonization is a complete game by itself. The other two are standard unneeded expansions.

Warlords is pretty useless but Beyond the Sword is brilliant and imo pretty much essential
