Could some kind soul gift me the Max Payne bundle? I'll send you a game of your choice around the same value (up to $7.50).

My steam id is goonbridge

Stupid region locking :lol

 

[parasight]

Got L4D off someone who bought the four-pack for about $5.50 USD. Thanks Steam!

 

[SephriJ]

yep today wasn't a great day for Steam deals, but I did pick up Civ 4, never played any of them that I can remember, but had a lot of friends that have played it and said it was great, so why not. Plus GAF kind of pushed me to it also...lol. :lol

 

[evlcookie]

So Civ4. I'm curious by it but i think it could go way over my tiny brain.

And no max payne for aussies? :lol Ah stupid publishers and their weird love of region locking.

 

[Jive Turkey]

It is actually quite easy to get in to. If you're really having trouble play the tutorial and pretty much everything will be explained.

With like 8 difficulty levels and 6 win conditions it is pretty accessable.

So Civ4. I'm curious by it but i think it could go way over my tiny brain.

IMO, it just seems daunting. It's really quite basic if you want it to be. It recommends which way to build and such.

It's one of those series that sort of defines PC gaming. It's a must play.

 

[BravoSuperStar]

I usually suck at strategy games, but I can handle the Civilization series. It's very n00b friendly.

 

[mikekennyb]

Really hoping for a Dawn of Discovery daily deal by the end of the sale.

 

[windfish]

damn i have an CIV IV complete pack sitting in my cart and i just can not buy this fucker. Paypal gives me an error and creditcard doesn't work either.
With all those people here raving about how good this game is, iam running out of patience
well at least i can play some max payne..... oh wait thats not even available here!! I'AM PISSED!!

 

[DIrtyWeasel]

Is it still worth getting the first Left 4 Dead if I already have L4D2?

 

[Firestorm]

5 campaigns and a good dozen survival maps. Better characters, but a bit more broken. I'd say it's worth it.

 

[grandjedi6]

So what does it mean if one's credit card is "denied" everytime one tries gifting a game but works perfectly fine when you buy it for yourself?

 

[Suairyu]

So what was everyone's opinion on Colonization now that they game has had a long time to be played and 'settle'? I bought Civ 4+Expansions a year ago cheaply and it hasn't left my hard drive since - does Colonization have the same depth and longevity?

 

[A Dog Chasing Cars]

Is there anyone who would be willing to gift me $25 worth of Steam games, in exchange for a $25 Newegg promo code?

 

[Seagoon]

Hmm are you gifting it to a "restricted" country? it appears that Steam will not allow Max Payne to be gifted to restricted countries. If Google is to be beleived.

Which is a damn shame, oh well looks like the only way I am enjoying this game is off antiquated optical media :lol

 

[ksan]

If I'm gonna start playing Civ4 now, which one should I start with?
Should I just start with Vanilla Civ4?
Help would be appreciated :lol

 

[speculawyer]

Seriously? This is ridiculous. Three days in a row with special deals not available on the Australian store. Why the Hell isn't Max Payne available here?

He shoots guns.

Are you playing a scenario, or just a general game? If you are going to play the scenarios, I'd probably start with Vanilla Civ4. If you are going to start a new game on a randomly generated map, there's no reason not to play with the Beyond the Sword improvements.

Do you have money in your paypal account?

You may have been locked out by steam.

Wordaround: create a new account and buy the games as gifts for your main account.

 

[TaKeRx]

WEll, I still have 2 copies left for L4D2. 28.50 each. Let me know by PM please.

Ok, thanks a lot
I guess I'll start with a general game for fun and probably proceed to scenarios then.

Spoiler

though that's if I ever get finished, I've heard stuff about the Civilization games

:lol

 

[legend166]

How much is the Max Payne bundle?

 

[Frankfurter]

Just btw. I realized that KOTOR has been added to my steam games, although I did buy the 10€ version, where KOTOR wasn't mentioned (although it was on the cover of the thingy). Did Valve add this to all accounts of people that bought the 10€/$ Star Wars pack?
If so: great

Brilliant.

 

[Stumpokapow]

How much is the Max Payne bundle?

3.74 but in the time it takes to ask GAF you could have just went to Steam and checked

 

[grandjedi6]

Hmm are you gifting it to a "restricted" country? it appears that Steam will not allow Max Payne to be gifted to restricted countries. If Google is to be beleived.

maybe.... >.>

But I thought gifting was the way around that. Or has Valve suddenly gotten around to stopping this at random?

 

[Volcynika]

Well if he's in AUS, he probably can't see it.

What if you gift it to an e-mail address?

 

[CecilRousso]

If you buy Civ 4, how many items are shown in your games list for that package? Is it just Civ4 and Civ4:Colonization, or are both expansion there also?

 

[legend166]

3.74 but in the time it takes to ask GAF you could have just went to Steam and checked

No need to be smart, I can't see it

So it's 3.74 for both games? Anyone wanna be awesome and gift it to me? I'll PayPal the cash. I already did it with another guy for Red Faction Guerilla, so I can be trusted!

 

[Kerrinck]

The complete package? It shows 4 games, so yeah the expansions are listed.

 

[Defcon]

Civ IV is probably the greatest game ever made. Awesome deal.

woo-hoo it works!! brilliant indeed! thanks for that, installing right now =D

 

[CecilRousso]

Hm. I don´t know. Civ4 is a great game, but I´ve played it so much with friends in LAN that its kinda broken for me now. I can´t see myself playing in single player anymore.

But still, its a great deal....

 

[nilbog21]

Wow Max Payne Bundle for 3.74, had to fucking get it. I used to fucking love the first game.
such a good story, and mood

 

[nilbog21]

Is it still worth getting the first Left 4 Dead if I already have L4D2?

of course man, it's all about the maps..

 

[Nabs]

if you guys run into problems buying shit off steam, just do it from your browser at store.steampowered.com

 

[forknknife]

I just got tempted to buy the Rockstar Package but I think it already had an offer, didn´t it? 40 still seems quite cheap for all the games it comes with.

 

[sparky2112]

This has probably been asked 1,000 times before, but if I have CIV 4 retail, can I get BTS via Steam and have it all work? I assume so, but you never know...

 

[NameGenerated]

Damn WaW is tempting, I already rented it and played a bit on 360 but didn't really do much of the multiplayer. I don't think I ever played Nazi zombies.

Im in the same boat as this guy. Anyone that gifts me the Max Payne pack, I would happily gift them a game worth $10 or less.

5 campaigns and a good dozen survival maps. Better characters, but a bit more broken. I'd say it's worth it.

I bought it! Thanks

 

[mandiller]

I bought Osmos. It was such a steal I couldn't resist. No Max Payne bundle here in Aussieland. Ahh well. I'm not even sure if I would realistically play those games again (good games, but i've already played them and probably don't intend to revisit them).

Well, I must say, this method solved my problems. And goes to show how dumb Steam's credit check is, well, something's definitely not right if my credit card is blocked from my account, but fine from a new one.

 

[NeoUltima]

Bought Civ4 pack...but somehow I doubt I will get around to playing it all. Probably should have just got Civ4 standalone.

Did someone gifting you Max Payne work?

 

[Basileus777]

No. The store page says that "Civilization IV: Beyond the Sword requires the Steam version of Sid Meier's Civilization IV to play."

Hey guys I bought the Max payne bundle but the ingame sound doesn't work (intro sound worked and menu sound works fine, but just not in game), anyone else having this problem? :/

I think there's a fix for that. You have to download a separate installer for it.

 

[grandjedi6]

Would that definitely work? Would an emailed one still function in a restricted country?
