Steam Holiday Sale 2011 | Valve Has Run Out Of 3rd Party Coupons/Games (Dec 19-Jan 2)

So this doesn't really have anything to do with a Daily Deal (though I will wait to see if it gets one) - but what's the GAF consensus on the newest Disciples III game? Visually it looks pretty interesting.
I really wish I was keeping up with inventory stuff
I'm a huge fan of Disciples II but the third one is really bad. Don't recommend it at all. Just a poor Heroes copycat with awful level design and strategic options. And each race has a total of about 3 music tracks that don't last longer than 2 minutes meaning the constant looping and monotonity will drive you crazy, as if the gameplay itself wasn't bad enough...

I found Bastion kind of dull. I was enthralled by the demo but when I actually got dug into it I had had my fill by the 2 hour mark
Also, the soundtrack is overrated.

I asked in a separate thread but does anyone have a killing floor guest pass to gift? I want to get that achievement.
I bought it because it looked interesting but found it kind of dull. I've only played the first couple levels however. It may get better later.

Well you could probably find someone who would trade you it for maybe a game they want that's of similar price.
Personally, I love the game. My favorite tower defense game of them all. Mainly because of the twist as it is a reverse tower defense game since you are the attacking force. Well worth the couple bucks.
I liked the soundtrack and the narration was amusing. The gameplay is just boring after a while, didn't finish it.

sheeet, promised myself I'd get only two games......Deus EX HR and Portal 2. But that Sonic Generations is mighty tempting....I keep open up steam, lookin at hit, then remembering the vow I made with the steam sales this year.

The game I want the most is never on sale! Witcher 2, I want you soooooooo bad! I just can't spend more than $20 on a new game.

It's been on sale for $24 twice in the past month iirc.

Might be repeated on steam. Seems to be $23.99 on gog still at least.
It was also $16 on Amazon.

I was just having a chat with a fellow gaffer. I told him Steam is a lot like Pokemon in that you sometimes buy to collect the games. So I was thinking what if we called it
SteamKEMAN?!?!?!!?!? Anyone!!?!?!? /crickets

Can the GOG key be redeemed on Steam?
I'm considering getting Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II - Complete Pack for 29.99. Each game is 50% off, and I'm not sure if it will get any lower. What does the collective think? I missed out on Space Marine, and am hoping Steam will drop it to dirt cheap again before this is all over.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Fuck all of you getting games

If it'll make you feel better kai I can give you my 75%off AvP coupon I got. All I am getting is coal and coupons too, mostly coal.

Man. I've been working on the gift achievements and so far all I've gotten is coal and a 50% off Farming Simulator 2011 coupon. I'm not sure it's worth it anymore, especially since I don't have a majority of the games.
I have the newest drivers and also the first level, and the first part of the second level, run without a problem, so I'm verifying the game integrity.

I got bored of it in less than 30 minutes. I also thought the narration was way overhyped.

Is it bad that I'm thinking about getting that Farming Simulator? I mean, the WTFness of it alone has to worth a few bucks.
On another note, I'm stoked that Hard Reset went on sale. Great little FPS.

The sales are still on for a week. It could be a Daily Deal.
It already has been. However, if there will be a "best of" final day (pretty sure there will be) the witcher 2 could pop up again at 40%.

I think they just patched the holiday achievement into Costume Quest. Though it hasn't been a daily achievement yet, has it?
EDIT: Never mind, I see it mentioned a few pages back.

Yeah, same here.
I had to set my computer clock to 25th to activate the achievement.
It has not been a daily achievement.

I saw that popped up, and I was like, eh, hey, maybe I will give this a go. I mean I like Sim City, Microsoft Train Simulator, Microsoft Flight Sim (haven't played since like the 2004 version or something), IL-2 Sturmovik, Tropico, Call to Power...ect...
I just can't spend the money on that. So other than buying Stalker, today I bought X: Superbox with basically X: Beyond the Frontier, X2: The Threat, X3: Reunion. And god help me, I am playing them in order, lol. Man, I love old-ass pc-ass games. That and Overlord and Overloard II.
I think I have spent around 20 bucks, and I am willing to shell out another 5 on games I feel like during the remaining days unless something unbelievable comes up, but I think for now, I am pretty set with PC games!
Still hate the idea of Digitally Distributed content, but I have a little faith in companies like Valve... hopefully. Plus, hey, even if I only play through maybe the first overlord and maybe only X and X2, that is still worth the 20 I have spent here.

I like it, but I have to say, I tend to like those artsy-fartsy games that are totally in left field as far as mainstream appeal, but ooze with creativeness.
