Greatest sale ever.

 

[FSLink]

Valve Complete Pack is $75 again this year.
So those of you who for some reason still doesn't have Left 4 Dead 1 and 2, Orange Box, etc. (Me.), this is an awesome deal.

 

[epmode]

Is Half-Life Source just a remake of the original? So definitely buy Source over the original?

It's more of a port than a remake. The graphics tweaks are actually pretty jarring if you ask me. Doesn't mesh with the art style very well. Go with the original and wait for the Black Mesa remake.

 

[fallout]

It's really hard to say no to anything I'm interested in at < $5.

 

[Hasphat'sAnts]

A question for those who'vehad this experience. I'm traveling to Canada for the rest of the week. The pricing and availability should be the same for NA, no? Does Steam determine availability through the billing address? I'd be pretty pissed if I missed out on a good one in one of these daily deals.

Thanks in advance.

 

[Odrion]

GOD DAMNIT.

I JUST BOUGHT FARCRY 2 FOR THE 360 FOR THIRTY BUCKS.

AGHH AGHHAHGHGHSGJAgSE:kgha

 

[Stumpokapow]

my advice would be to hold off on all the valve games

i got orange box for 9.99 last year and HL1 for 0.99, and during the thanksgiving sale i got L4D for 7.49.

I'm Canadian and I pay the usd price which is later converted to cad on my credit card bill. And no, you won't miss any of the amazing deals.

 

[Deleted member 30609]

damn, and I just bought Chaos Theory!

woww

for anyone who has bought gta 4 from here.. is the game big? my australian download limits are about to cry, i'm sure

also - is the dlc for gta 4 out on pc yet?

 

[Stitch]

Eh, I mean, what is your CPU? I know people playing it on 2.5Ghz C2D.

Athlon X2 240 2.8GHz
3.25GB RAM (damn 32bit OS )
Geforce 8600 GT

but i'm not even sure if i really want to buy it. it's just so damn cheap.. :lol

 

[overthehill99]

Is the Valve complete pack worth it for someone who has NEVER played a Valve game before? Or should I just cut the corners, and buy the essentials (Orange Box, L4D1 and 2, HL:1)?

 

[Fallout-NL]

Is that Id super pack coming down further anytime soon? It's 35 euro's now.


Think I might get the Unreal Deal...

 

[Firebrand]

I just spent 53 dollars on games from GOG.com... My backlog went from massive to humongous.

Looks like I'll be spending another 20 or so. My game queue won't empty... ever.

I'm eyeing Outrun 2006. How is it?

If you like very arcadey racing games, then yes, it's great. I believe you can't save time trial and/or ghost data or something on the Steam version though, and the multiplayer mode isn't working at all.

 

[Deleted member 17706]

Mother-effing STEAM SALE!!!

My current cart:
LucasArts Adventure Pack
Indigo Prophecy
GTA IV
The Void

Total: $23.36

Haha. Same as me except I went for the Time Gentlemen! Please! double pack instead of the LucasArts Adventure pack.

 

[DeadGzuz]

The Eidos pack is a great deal, that's a lot of games including Batman AA.

 

[rohlfinator]

for anyone who has bought gta 4 from here.. is the game big? my australian download limits are about to cry, i'm sure

I haven't installed it yet, but Steam says 15.6GB.

Haha. Same as me except I went for the Time Gentlemen! Please! double pack instead of the LucasArts Adventure pack.

Heh, nice. I would have no doubt grabbed that too if I hadn't picked it up earlier in the year. It's funny, I was seriously tempted to buy both The Void and Indigo Prophecy earlier in the week, but I'm glad I held off.

 

[Relix]

Oh shit Torchlight was fun.... :lol

 

[Jirotrom]

I really hope Fallout 3 GOTY drops further during the daily deals. Need it at $29.99 or lower please!

Goddamn I want to gift Audiosurf to everybody.

Also at STALKER being $1.99 and me still not having had time to get to it.

gift me!

 

[Inflammable Slinky]

Hey guys, the Borderlands 4pack is down to 100 dollars. I'd totally be down for getting a 4some for that together.

Also, if anyone is interested in Killing Floor, but they arent sure about it (even at 10 dollars) I have 2 3day guest passes.

EDIT: ABSOFUCKINGLUTELY DO NOT BUY SAINTS ROW 2. It is beyond a terrible port and completely unplayable for a GTX 260M

 

[fresquito]

So I have an Athlon X2 2.4. GTA IV is very tempting at that price.

What framerate can I expect from that? W7 x64, 4GB and HD4850 here.

 

[Kabuki Waq]

got stalker and ghostbusters.

Will wait to see if titan quest gold goes on the deal of the day things

The essentials will lead up into you spending more. Go Big or Go Home!

 

[K.Jack]

Athlon X2 240 2.8GHz
3.25GB RAM (damn 32bit OS )
Geforce 8600 GT

but i'm not even sure if i really want to buy it. it's just so damn cheap.. :lol

You'd be fine, because you'll want to turn the resolution and settings down medium-ish anyway, because of the 8600 GT.

 

[Blizzard]

For now, I just stuck with:

Deus Ex: Game of the Year Edition
Prince of Persia The Two Thrones™
Defense Grid: The Awakening

Total was $14.17, not bad. I know I probably should have waited until further sales, but oh well. I'm not a tower defense fan, but plants vs zombies is pretty fun when it's not frustrating (which is rarely), and people say good things about defense grid. Looked at the Oddworld games, thought the screenshots were uuuuuugly, passed them by.

Is anyone having trouble with their transaction? I bought Braid and it got stuck at the "working" phase after the confirmation, then said an error occurred. Now Braid is in my account under "pending" and won't let me download or try the transaction again. :\

 

[shintoki]

Honestly, I'd wait to see if they bring it down on a day sale.

But there is no reason not to get it all. Orange Box will run you about 20-30 to begin with. Add on the same for the Half Life 1 Collection, and L4D1/2. You might as well wait and see if they knock it down to 50$ because all of it is worth playing.

Valve shot themselves in the foot with this. They put too much awesomeness on at once and now everyone is trying buy it all like pokemons. It's just going to crash!

ABSOFUCKINGLUTELY DO NOT BUY SAINTS ROW 2. It is beyond a terrible port and completely unplayable for a GTX 260M

:lol I already got that game in the THQ pack...may not ever try it, if the performance rumors are true.

Also I'm gonna pass up on the Borderlands DLC even on sale, out of disgust for Borderlands statements prior to release/late PC support/SecuROM/etc. I will be very hesitant to get anything from GearBox near release in the future.

 

[YuriLowell]

Republic Commando YAY OR NAY?

 

[ezekial45]

EDIT: ABSOFUCKINGLUTELY DO NOT BUY SAINTS ROW 2. It is beyond a terrible port and completely unplayable for a GTX 260M

I learned this the hard way.

 

[disappeared]

STALKER is now $1.99.


$1.99

 

[GitarooMan]

RE: Republic commando: I really liked it, but I played it on Xbox.

 

[npm0925]

Picked up GTA IV, Mirror's Edge, Indigo Prophecy, and STALKER.

 

[Minsc]

Thanks Stumpokapow, for all your digging!

Spoiler

I have about 30 tabs to look at now, there's goes my hopes of making out with only spending $100

 

[I <3 Memes]

I'm buying GTA4 at that price.

I would love to buy mirrors edge, stalker, and farcry 2 but I'm on a really tight budget and I want to see what the next deals will be when the timer runs out on these deals. I'm really hoping a Crysis pack or Mass Effect goes on sale next. So this leaves me in a position where I have to skip on these deals just to see what the next deals are.

This is like a cruel steam version of Let's Make a Deal. I just wish I knew what the next deals are going to be

 

[br0ken_shad0w]

Would double-dip on GTAIV if it still didn't force you to use GFWL and Rockstar social club bullshit.

Going to wait for the next daily sale. *hopes for Dragon Age or L4D2 or Borderlands*

 

[Jaded Alyx]

Republic Commando YAY OR NAY?

YAY

I agree, but in the meantime I'm worried I charged my card a couple times for the same game. Hopefully it wouldn't have allowed that, of course I only hit confirm order once, but I still worry about these things. In the meantime I don't have the game I bought which is disheartening. But hopefully this is just due to overwhelming response from people.

I got the Valve Complete Pack just after L4D1 launched (all I had on Steam up to that point was TF2), and it's a fantastic way of starting your Valvey love. Just wait a while to see if it ends up in a daily sale to get even better value out of it.

 

[Iadien]

Steam knows how to do sales right. Hmm, what to buy?

 

[boiled goose]

ME is mine again!

played it on 360 but sold the system. PC gaming is the best!!!!!

 

[Max]

My cart keeps disappearing, what the shit!

 

[fallengorn]

Republic Commando YAY OR NAY?

For the most part, yay.

 

[amrod]

anyway to keep the steam downloads going while playing a steam game? Every time i go to play a game it pauses my downloads

 

[fresquito]

GTA IV has SecuROM... I just realised. Not buying it. Not even at that low price. To hell with them.

 

[Hasphat'sAnts]

:lol

Sums it up nicely.

[Chairhome]

Went ahead and bought Mirror's Edge and STALKER since they are the "limited" sales... if I still want some of the other ones that aren't timed (except for when the sale ends), I'll pick em up.... too cheap, but they add up :-/
