How is Singularity? Is it worth the price? I know nothing about it.

i played it on 360 but i honestly didn't like it. the storyline/concept were cool but the gunplay really lacked something. it's a homeless mans bioshock to be honest. not worth the time in my opinion but i only played about 3 hours of it so maybe it picks up

 

[Nabs]

Is Sonic Generations gonna go lower, or should I bite now? I seem to remember something like that happening in the last sale where it was 25% off and then a few days later was 50% off or something. Might've dreamed that though.

It'll probably go a lil' bit lower during the Daily. It has to have a daily, it's too good not to.

What was that rule that everyone has posted a billion times? I can't remember...

 

[The_Monk]

It seems to be back up, at least for me my fellow GAFfers.

 

[ElectricThunder]

Wow....I'll check in early tomorrow morning as per usual. I THINK I'm safe from this first day here and should have no problems staying strong in the fact of all those sub $10's in my wishlist until they either hit daily status or the sale ends.

Definitely hope I get some money for the holidays or people end up gifting me as this is craaaaazy.

 

[RoadHazard]

Store is loading fast now, but I get an error on the gift pile thing.

Yep.

 

[kennah]

Orcs Must Die is calling to me, but Bunch of Heroes looks interesting too!

I'm stuck to a pretty tight budget of the 17$ left in my Steam Wallet from the Thanksgiving sale... Decisions!

 

[cyberheater]

How is Singularity? Is it worth the price? I know nothing about it.

It's pretty cool. Feels like a old school ID game. Well worth it at that price.

 

[zerokoolpsx]

Store is working. Just the Great Gift Pile not working.

 

[inky]

Cya guys in Origin. I heard Dead Space 2 is $5 today.

 

[wutwutwut]

Totally. Those games are good games.

Yeah, I know, but I was worried more about Win7 64 compatibility. Googling tells me users have created fixes to the issues, so I guess I'll go ahead.

 

[legend166]

I don't know if I'm just imagining things, but is it just me or do the sales this year seem worse than last year?

It could just be that I've sorta got everything I want pre 2010. So I'm only paying attention to the more recent games, which are obviously going to have higher prices.

 

[UpperCaseN]

Whoooo! Just worked for me, no loading issues at all. i was able to check out and pay on my 1st shot

 

[Mr. Luchador]

Hmm. -33% valve coupon. Suppose I can keep that for HL3...

It is the first day.

Same. Just got home and everything is working except for the Great Gift Pile page.

I think it is largely an effect of all the sales we have been through now and having bought up on all the largely small cheap games over time.

 

[cookypt]

I was finally able to buy Orcs Must Die.

 

[MatthewB92]

Work Jamestown!!!

 

[Mimir]

- AAAAAAAAAAA for the awesome $2.50; Loved the original, looking forward to sinking my teeth into the new content. (75% off)

The new levels are amazing. Though I have a hard time playing the older levels now that I'm used to the much faster pace of the new ones.

 

[SteveWinwood]

First day damages (so far)
Pendulo adventure pack
Dinner date: Been eying this forever, should be interesting at the very least
Bunch of heroes: why not?
Cargo: just bought this too. Isnt it ukranian? Or did I make that up...

 

[RPG_Fanatic]

Store is loading fast now, but I get an error on the gift pile thing.

Same here.

 

[chixdiggit]

So is A Bunch of Heroes at least $2.50 worth of fun? I would hate to get it just for the coal.

 

[Baconsaurus Rex]

Currently at a stable 1.8mb/sec download rate. Is going better than the summer sales for sure.

 

[Houston3000]

Orcs Must Die is calling to me, but Bunch of Heroes looks interesting too!

Not sure about Bunch of Heroes, but Orcs Must Die is a pretty awesome game - I bought it when it was on sale during the Wishlist deal a week or two ago. A lot of fun, definitely worth $4 or whatever it is.

 

[1-D_FTW]

I think it is largely an effect of all the sales we have been through now and having bought up on all the largely small cheap games over time.

Definitely. Steam sales and price reduction points are extremely predictable at this point. Nothing out of the ordinary with the Daily Deals. Just most people here already have the heavily discounted titles they already want.

I don't think the line-up is the greatest, but you never want to lead off with your best on the first day. #1.) People in the know are showing up regardless. 2.) People who rely on word of mouth might miss the first day or two.

One thing I did notice is that publishers like Beth are putting out "holiday" packs rather than "complete" packs to avoid having to put games like RAGE and Skyrim in at a huge discount.

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

Well, now my TF2 items show up, but not my Steam items.

Toomfoolery abounds.

 

[Deadstar]

Thanks for the impressions. I'll skip it then. I definitely don't need another average shooter in my list. There is other stuff I'd like to buy. Only the adventure pack for me today.

It isn't worse, it is just the same games every sale. I've probably already bought anything that will go on sale several sales ago.

 

[Crash Station]

1st rule, brother.

There's a 99 percent chance this game is a Daily Deal. Purchase at your own peril.

Ah sorry, new to Steam deals and I didn't really want to read through a big thread like this.

Thanks.

 

[TimmiT]

Well, now my TF2 items show up, but not my Steam items.

Toomfoolery abounds.

Same, my TF2 and Spiral Knights items show up but not my Steam items.

 

[Saige]

Picked up AAAAAAAAAAA for the Awesome. Never got the original but it looked neat and was just $2.50.

Dailies I’m hoping for:
S.T.A.L.K.E.R series
Anno 2070
Sengoku

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

Got into my coupons through the Games tab.

You can only use coupons AFTER the sale?

That's not very cool.

 

[drizzle]

Dead Rising 2 is 15 bucks, Dead Rising 2 Off the Record is 19,90

Oh Capcom. I know I shouldn't expect a massive discount, but I was gonna buy Dead Rising 2 if (when) it hits 10 bucks again.

I hope it's a daily deal. I'm not buying gifts for me this year, so it's all going into Steam sales.

 

[brain_stew]

How is Singularity? Is it worth the price? I know nothing about it.

Well worth it. One of the better single player FPS of this generation.

 

[Danj]

Got into my coupons through the Games tab.

You can only use coupons AFTER the sale?

That's not very cool.

Apparently they're tradable though, so I am just wondering a) how to trade them and b) if there's a trade thread.

 

[Ryan_]

Same here.

 

[Kinky John]

You can only use coupons AFTER the sale?

That's not very cool.

Yeah, and you can't use them on games released after the 2nd of January.

 

[Tambini]

Apparently they're tradable though, so I am just wondering a) how to trade them and b) if there's a trade thread.

To trade them, initiate a chat, then choose trade

 

[Themacabre]

I'm thinking of jumping (wink) on AaaaaAAaaaAAAaaAAAAaAAAAA!!! for the Awesome. It's only 2.50.

 

[mrgone]

Got into my coupons through the Games tab.

You can only use coupons AFTER the sale?

That's not very cool.

So they're worthless for use or trade during the sale, and they only last three months so they're almost useless after the sale. I think I'd rather have coal

 

[Leon Belmont]

Hi guys!

Does the Warner Bros. Complete Pack worth the price? $74.99 USD

I just want it for Batman: Arkham Asylum, Batman: Arkham City (DLC too), Lego Batman, and Lord of the Rings: War in the North, or I just need to wait? I think that Batman:AC isn't going lower than $49.99, so what it's your advice?

Thank you!

 

[spk]

I didn't think it was map restricted, but it should work on Ice Cave if it doesn't work on any other. Maybe it's just a issue with Steam being obliterated by commerce right now

Yeah I completed both Christmas maps. Still nothing

 

[1-D_FTW]

Got into my coupons through the Games tab.

You can only use coupons AFTER the sale?

That's not very cool.

33 percent off a Valve title. So, yeah, unless HL 3 launches before March 1st, so much for that.

Unless Counter-Strike GO is an actual pay product and not some F2P. But come, let's be honest here, March 1st? Ha-ha-HA-HA-HA. Who's kidding who? March 1st? Right.

Yeah, and you can't use them on games released after the 2nd of January.

:lol Didn't realize that. Yeah. I'd like to return my gift, Alex, for a lump of coal. Thank you.

 

[vall03]

eh? looks like nothing for me today... can't even view the store without getting an error. Looks like I'm just going to gift my sister Half-Life today... oh well...

 

[Euphor!a]

Anyone doing a Bunch of Heroes 4-Pack?

 

[Krakn3Dfx]

Safe for day 1. I want Singularity but I know damn well I will never play it.

Awesome game, you really should.

 

[drizzle]

I'm thinking of jumping (wink) on AaaaaAAaaaAAAaaAAAAaAAAAA!!! for the Awesome. It's only 2.50.

What's the first rule of the sale?

I'll give you that, being at 75% already, I doubt it's getting cheaper at a daily deal... but you never know...
