[Basileus777]

So I just fucked off $4 for buying Jade Empire?

I didn't know Bioware could make bad games. :/ Always kinda figured the premise was too good to be true. Probably why I never got around to playing it earlier. Always meant to though....Guess now I can.

Jade Empire is a solid, average RPG. It's definitely worth $4. The only reason it gets so much hate is because Bioware made it.

I would argue that the only reason it gets love is because Bioware made it.


The combat is HORRIBLE. It really is nothing but pure mashing. The level design is boring, story is very blah. I saw no redeeming values at all.

But really enough about Jade. How is Silent hill homecoming on steam? Thinking about it if its good.

So, if I understand you correctly you want to be gifted Mr. Robot?

I love that it's just about crapping money onto every $2 thing on Steam now. Not that I haven't bought enough of them. :lol

I wasn't that impressed with the game, that's the key thing, and the irritating demo nagging pushed me over the edge into "forget it" territory. I also don't like that I broke the tutorial (the Zelda bot spun in place constantly once she got to the bot to repair and wouldn't move on) because I was standing in a spot that was reasonable for me to stand at, and I advanced the dialogue box while the NPC was stuck. Bad omen for a puzzle game.

Gexecutor: The movie's Better Off Dead, worth a watch. It's one of the classic 80's movies where it's just dumb and silly throughout, but entertainingly so.

how do i see how much money ive spent on my games?

At the top of the Steam Store page, there's a "your account" link, click that and scroll down a bit 'til you see the prices. You'll have to do the math yourself.
If it asks you for your Steam detail, you can just restart Steam (or just enter the details).

 

[bathala]

haven't bought anything on steam since King's Bounty Armored Princess Deal of the Day.

Just waiting for Civ4 to go on DoD

I think this is how most people in the thread are calculating it:

I think this is how most people in the thread are calculating it:

http://www.steamcalculator.com/

edit: got it working

edit#2: it uses the current prices so everyone's values are going to be much lower during the sale.

Account value: $548.53

$608.37 without packages

Still not bad.

its not working... i get the same value

 

[Kabouter]

A recommendation for everyone. Port Royale 2 is available for 1,99€, and it is a steal for that price. Its like Sid Meiers Pirates but with more strategy than minigames. It has a metacritic rating at 75.

Great game, but it doesn't work properly for me . Won't start at all.

Steam Calculator's not even loading at all for me =/

Try entering the number that is in your profile's URL. That's how I got it to work.

 

[BravoSuperStar]

I think the site is getting hammered. It does work....

 

[biocat]

Great game, but it doesn't work properly for me . Won't start at all.

If you really want the game, you could try the gog version. It's 5.99 right now which is not nearly as good, but entirely drm free and gog is a bit better about customer support.

If I've only beaten Silent Hill 2 (and loved it)- how would Homecoming fare?

(Played SH3- but only got like half way, enjoyed 2 much more.)

A thought, when you sign up, do you have a name you login with, and a username. The username being the one used here?

Yes, Valve employees have a separate work account (if I am not mistaken) and every game is added to it. There are also press accounts for people in the journalism area of gaming who get the majority of games free. I am not sure if the games are removed if the individual leaves their job or what have you. Then there are the rest of us who have to pan handle our way to Steam E-Peen glory.

I hope so.I'm holding out until the 3rd to hopefully get DOW 2 for under $20.

Couldn't you have waited until the end of the Steam sale?

 

[SephriJ]

I am holding off today. I kind of want the Witcher, but want to see if it lowers in price anymore, I also would like to get Borderlands on PC, I have it on 360, but think it would be more fun on PC for me, but I want it lower also...I guess I will wait.

 

[cr_blah_blah]

I'd love to see Cryostasis as a daily deal D:
And for anyone still wondering, Trials HD is different than 2. I find HD extremely better when it comes to physics.

So I just fucked off $4 for buying Jade Empire?

I didn't know Bioware could make bad games. :/ Always kinda figured the premise was too good to be true. Probably why I never got around to playing it earlier. Always meant to though....Guess now I can.

It's fine. Not terrible, not great.

 

[Smash88]

I'd laugh if it turns out to be on of those L4D1 sales, where it goes to $4.99 or something, just to piss you off. :lol

 

[CabbageRed]

A bit disappointed by King Arthur's performance. It looks like there is no crossfire support, however, so hopefully things will improve (or I can fiddle around with different names for it's exe file).

And yes, if DoW II goes on sale, it is well worth the purchase even if you are only looking to play the SP campaign. It is far more meaty than what many in the community have suggested.

 

[toastyToast]

Pretty weak sales today imo

I'm hoping they go gangbusters on the last day and put all the one day deals up since I was too slow to buy Dead Space yesterday (or was it the day before?)

[faceless007]

I may be the only person in the world who was actually hoping for a sale on Silent Hill: Homecoming. I played all the mainline games on PC (yes, even 1) but the high price on the Steam version plus some reports of glitches kept me away. I'll bite for $10, so I can play all the main SH games on PC.

(And ignore the Metacritic for it. All SH games did poorly critically, as the gameplay conventions of the series aren't for people expecting more mainstream games.)

Most of the games I haven't even played, thanks to the THQ pack :lol.

Anyone know if Tales of Valor would work if my version of CoH Gold isn't from Steam, but instead from D2D? I grabbed it when it was 5$ during the D2D sale, but it doesn't come with ToV.

edit: nevermind :lol totally missed the fact that the game is standalone.

I only have HL1 and CS 1.6 for the first year or so; I've really been packing them in this past year, though.

I don't understand how this calculator works, though. Some of my games are in packs, and some aren't, and according to valve I have 166 games, though this says 148.

 

[DryvBy]

This. I still think $20 is too much for DOW2 right now, mainly because the originals are so darn fun! Been playing for years and I'm not bored of the originals yet.

 

[mikekennyb]

Any impressions on ToV?

I played CoH and CoH:OF more than any other game out there until Dawn of War 2 came out. Really enjoyed CoH.... is ToV worth going back to for $7.50?

BTW I originally bought CoH and OF at retail, and lost the discs, so would be playing ToV stand alone.

 

[Surfheart]

Decided to grab King Arthur. The management of your heroes is what sold me... besides, who can turn down the promise of varriors and vizards?

Looks really interesting. I'm tempted, wish it was a bit cheaper though.

I'm not sure how the Steam profile total game number is calculated

according to my profile I have 305 games yet if you count them up on my profile page (and ignore things like game editors, etc.) I have a lot less

the Steam Calculator(.com) says I have 252 games wile Digitally Disturbed Gamer's calculator has me pegged for 244

Looks really interesting. I'm tempted, wish it was a bit cheaper though.

I'm tempted too and if it had been 75% off ($9.99) like King's Bounty: Armored Princess was I would have caved but at $20 I'll hold off
for the record I've been a member of Steam since: November 1, 2003 and almost all my games were bought on sale (probably can count the total number of games not bought on sale on my two hands)

edit: it's a little fun

I wonder why it shows my time logged in CS 1.6 as 70.8 hours on steam. I have thousands and thousands of hours in that game. Maybe because I just moved.
