What's the cheapest region to grab LA Noire?

Steamprices.com

 

[drhankmccoyphd]

Ugh, 40 achievements down and only one game. Tons and tons of coal though...

 

[SteveWinwood]

Read the damn thread people.

Alternatively, read the fucking store page... It's not that difficult.

There's a thread about the port of LA Noire, too lazy to look it up now. I bought it anyway.

.

 

[wilflare]

MRORANGE did just just buy Magicka? :O

 

[drhankmccoyphd]

Steamprices.com

Already checked, it hasn't updated though.

 

[Yaska]

Gee whiz Valve, got from achievements 2 -25% off valve game. Kinda disappointed in my bad luck. No games at all, nor even something remotely usable.

 

[StuBurns]

-25% Valve
-25% Valve
-40% The Witcher 2
-50% OFF STORM: Frontline Nation
-50% OFF BIT.TRIP.BEAT
-50% OFF Back to the Future
-50% OFF Farming Simulator 2011
-50% OFF Arcania: Gothic 4
-50% OFF Railworks 3: Train Simulator 2012
-50% OFF Nordic Games
-50% OFF Grand Theft Auto IV: Complete
-10% OFF Meridian4

What an amazing collection...! LOl.

Can I have the Witcher discount? I have nothing to offer for it, but if you're in the giving mood. No offense will be taken if you decline of course.

 

[Thomper]

So the Poker Night achievement hasn't popped up yet, right? It'd be amazing if they decided to skip that achievement after some people devoted hours to it trying to get it. Wow.

 

[Ettie]

Daggerdale got some bad press on PC release IIRC, anyone try it? I'm a loot whore whore, so with that in mind, should I bite or pass?

 

[Lain]

I suggest coal, but we can trade shit coupons too, sure. My steam ID is in my profile, add me.

Nice, thanks.

 

[JaseC]

The more I peruse this thread, the more I'm convinced I'm just about the only bloke who hasn't won Dota 2.

Same. I have 8 coals(and 8 coupons!) left and don't know If I should craft a coupon or hope for the best for the big contest.

From this point on, I'll be saving.

It started so well, got Dota 2 really fast, then all kind of went to shit. I did get L4D which I gave a friend, and a train game I gave a GAFfer, but that's all really.

CS:GO and Dota 2? I want to hate you.

 

[Rufus]

.

Perfectly consistent with my philosophy of 'look for yourself, you are not a child'. Unless it's easy for me to do and I feel particularly nice I'm going to be a grumpy old man instead.

 

[MRORANGE]

MRORANGE did just just buy Magicka? :O

Bought it back like in April something weird happened to the game just right now with Magicka I guess.

The more I peruse this thread, the more I'm convinced I'm just about the only bloke who hasn't won Dota 2.

if it makes you feel any better you can have my 25% off Valve games when DOTA 2 does come out!... oh wait.

 

[StuBurns]

CS:GO and Dota 2? I want to hate you.

Hate the game, not the player.

Actually I feel kind of bad about CS:GO, I virtually haven't touched it. It runs kind of bad, and I still prefer Source by quite a bit.

 

[Nymerio]

May get BIT.TRIP BEAT. Had a lot of fun getting the achievement for RUNNER. I was hoping for a 75% deal on Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes but it's "only" 50%. Is there another sale tomorrow?

Also, is L.A. Noire worth it? I wanted to get it anyway but I've heard a few negative things about the PC version. If I don't really care wether I play on my PC or a console, should I get the PC version?

 

[Jasoco]

Oh boy. I really want the BioShock games. But how will they run in Windows on my Air? I have a 1.7GHz Dual-Core i5. The requirements say Core2Duo and no specific MHz. I assume that means it has options for lowering graphics if I have to. I'm willing to spend the $10 for both just to have them as long as they play. I don't give a crap about a shitty story or anything. I mean, I bought Duke Nukem Forever for $8. I can live with horrible stories.

 

[Rufus]

Already checked, it hasn't updated though.

[Branson]

Looks like bioshocks will be my first purchase of the sale.

 

[ElectricThunder]

Hmm...I guess I'll get the Vietnam and Cthulu Magicka DLC early tomorrow morning and then have a good think about the then currently non-Daily Deals on the wishlist tomorrow evening.

If any come back that were prior on sale in my list since I got some Christmas cash, I guess I'd hope for Jamestown and maybe Bastion.

 

[faceless007]

I'm not crafting any coal. I already received two coupons, 50% off a Valve game (I already have all of them that I would want) and 50% off Demolition, Inc. (which is currently 75% off). So yeah.

count me in your team JaseC :/

 

[Rufus]

I'd like to say you are not doing it right, but looking at my backlog...

 

[faceless007]

This is from yesterday, but can any Spacechem fans say whether the DLC is any good? Only $0.49 so not much of a risk but still.

 

[Symphonic]

Finally got a game! Half-Life 2: Episode 1! Yay! Fuck my life!

 

[Branson]

I'd like to say you are not doing it right, but looking at my backlog...

Idk I just wasnt really feeling any of the deals/games this time. I almost got bulletstorm but didn't so hopefully that gets put up again.

 

[Vamphuntr]

So here's my final score

Terrible coupons and coals

The sega coupon is the most offending one I've seen so far.

 

[Nabs]

Just got 3 Valve coupons in a row.

 

[Bucket-o-roadkill]

None of the games I have seem to have achievements. The achievements I have won for just doing random things in steam have so far given me like 4 coals and 33% off of certain valve games or whatever. To read that some people are winning ENTIRE games in here is pretty annoying, wtf

 

[Dascu]

I have -10% off any Meridian4 title.

Anyone willing to trade it for Skyrim?

 

[JaseC]

if it makes you feel any better you can have my 25% off Valve games when DOTA 2 does come out!... oh wait.

It's better than my -10% Valve coupon! (Though, I also have a -33% one.)

Hate the game, not the player.

The typical response of a CS player.

Actually I feel kind of bad about CS:GO, I virtually haven't touched it. It runs kind of bad, and I still prefer Source by quite a bit.

This reminds me: is the built-in GunGame mode in the beta?

count me in your team JaseC :/

Team Shit.

 

[duckroll]

I just crafted 7 coal into 25% off Valve. FUCK THIS CONTEST. -_-

 

[xelios]

I have -10% off any Meridian4 title.

Anyone willing to trade it for Skyrim?

Pretty much sums up half the posts in the trading thread.

 

[NaM]

I have 50% off Telltale games. That is the only coupon I have which I think is really worth anything at all. Someone make me an offer or something.

I can give you another valve 25% off coupon

Spoiler

 

[Vamphuntr]

I just crafted 7 coal into 25% off Valve. FUCK THIS CONTEST. -_-

Welcome to my world

 

[duckroll]

When I'm done with the remaining few objectives I'm interested in getting, I will post a pic of how pathetic my haul is.

 

[1-D_FTW]

Pretty much sums up half the posts in the trading thread.

You mean people don't want to trade dollars for coal? Or want more shitty coupons? Shocking.

 

[atomsk]

If anyone wants these coupons I am giving them away (just shoot me a PM)

25% off Valve (x2)
50% off Hacker Evolution
50% L4D2
50% The Ball
50% Rockstar Games
50% Bit Trip Runner

 

[Fuzzy]

14 coal = 50% off Valve and 33% off Valve. Valve just lost 88% of my respect. Fuck you Valve.

 

[Dr. Zoidberg]

Pretty much sums up half the posts in the trading thread.

I think it's funny how Skyrim is easily the most wanted game on my friendslist (and probably overall). People want it desperately but refuse to pay $40+ for it.

 

[-COOLIO-]

i got la noire. i think i only got it because it was like ~$40 off

 

[Neki]

14 coal = 50% off Valve and 33% off Valve. Valve just lost 88% of my respect. Fuck you Valve.

that's not how percents work

 

[throwawayname]

First rule of the Steam Holiday Sale 2011:
Do not craft your coal.
Second rule of the Steam Holiday Sale 2011:
Do NOT CRAFT your COAL.
Third rule of the Steam Holiday Sale 2011:
Wait for the daily deals.

that's not how percents work

It does from January 2nd, 2012 through March 1st, 2012.

 

[Akkad]

Debating on Clash of Heroes, not cheap enough.

 

[JaseC]

When I'm done with the remaining few objectives I'm interested in getting, I will post a pic of how pathetic my haul is.

The -50% M:TG 2012 coupon was crafted. As equally useless as the rest of its peers.

Edit: The Killing Floor guest pass is up for grabs if you're interested, but the Valve games aren't; I'm saving them for this.

 

[Bucket-o-roadkill]

anyone wanna trade a coal with me for that achievement? Lol

Crafting has just been a complete and utter waste of time for me. My wishlist is down to 30 items, which is great, and I don't really want half of them, so hopefully I'll be able to polish off the wishlist and be "caught up" in 2012.

 

[MRORANGE]

Pretty much sums up half the posts in the trading thread.

nah this is more like it:


I HAVE GAME "X"

Spoiler

(which i got for 90% off)

I WANT GAME "y"

Spoiler

(which costs 5 times as much)

I WILL ALSO THROW IN A HUMBLE BUNDLE KEY!

Spoiler

(which I paid 3 cents for)

WHAT A BARGAIN!

 

[Winnie the Pimp]

So, is Rochard worth the buy?

yes, i think so, i played the demo on PS3 and it was really refreshing and fun... plus i dig the space station theme so yeah, i will buy it for sure now!

 

[Buttonbasher]

Nail'd it.

 

[Snuggles]

I retired from cheevo hunting a couple days ago. You guys need to accept that it will only end in heart break. It's time to let go.

I did just win HL2: Episode One since I have Steam Guard activated. Unfortunately, I already own it and it's only worth like two lumps of coal at best.
