I'm surprised Oblivion never went down below $10, with Skyrim being the big thing. I was planning to get it, but now I think I'll hold off.

I shouldn't have fashioned my coal. I got a 50% off Valve coupon last night, which is essentially worthless unless Episode 3 comes out in that timeframe (I'm aware that it won't). I know the chances of winning the contest are low, but I'd rather have that chance than a worthless coupon.

Still, can't complain. I got some decent deals.

 

[Unison]

I'm in. I want this game.

Cool... will PM you two in a second with details.

 

[Pachinko]

bastion
arkham city
red alert 3
costume quest
deus ex human revolution
metro 2033
psychonauts
supcom
supcom forged alliance
terraria
witcher 2

Not too bad this year. But considering I've barely made a dent in the stuff I've bought on steam this year , this is probably a bad thing. Many of these were at maximum discount (around 5$) , though arkham city was 25,deus ex was 17 and witcher 2 was 23 or whatever. I've got more than enough games now

Pretty sure those prices are wrong looking at my steam store the Australian prices are
incorrect. And the American are wrong unless the AU steam store suddenly got alot cheaper.

GAF, Serious Sam HD: Gold Collection is $4, and I've heard good things, but I'm not a big FPS fan. Is the game silly/have some sense of humor? I think I saw it compared to Bulletstorm (which I loved), so I'm wondering if it would be a good buy (not really interested in MP, but like co-op; prefer SP).

It is quite silly. Especially the Second Encounter but if story is important to you then you might not like them since there's very little story in them.
For that price you might as well try them since there's no other fps that plays like Serious Sam. They're pretty much the antithesis to the cinematic Call of Duty-clone borefests that are currently popular.

Serious Sam 3 seriously worth it at this price if I have a huge backlog and Hard Reset left to play?

Seriously worth it. It's fps GOTY for sure. Only problem is that versus multiplayer is dead but you can still get co-op games going.

[Shorty11857]

So I have roughly 5 euro left in my wallet (gonna get Skyrim outside of that)

So of the following what would people recommend

Bioshock 2 (Loved the first 3/4s of Bioshock but it kind of bored me after that a bit)
Hitman Collection (Have fond memories of playing Hitman 2 but can't remember how good they actually were)

Or any other game/games people would recommend that would be a better use of 5 euro?

Add ?cc=us to the end of the Steam URL then.

 

[masterkajo]

no dragon age? seriously?!?!

you will have to wait a bit longer morrigan. we will meet again, someday.

Morrigan disapproves ♥-12

I also hoped to get the Ultimate edition cheap... But I have to wait, I guess.

 

[Acidote]

That's what I want to do (try) in a few hours with a normal coupon.

 

[AzerPhire]

Anyone want to do a 4 pack for Dead Island? PM me of interested

 

[plc268]

Any of the Arkham City DLC worth the money?

 

[Fou-Lu]

I think I'll buy it anyways, $15 for the ultimate edition ain't bad.

Thankyou.
Wow Shogun 2 is 3x more expensive on the Australian store.

 

[TheThunder]

I know Skyrim is going to be $29.99 sometime in the next month, or so. No deal, Valve.

Do you know that for sure ?

I was basically gonna ask if $40 was the lowest we were gonna see Skyrim at for a couple of months (on downloadable platforms) since I don't plan on playing it now I can wait for a while (especially until I upgrade my CPU/GPU)

 

[Blizzard]

Dragon Age is an EA game, right? Wouldn't they want to encourage Origin use?

Also, if anyone was curious, I put my computer clock back to December and the Flight Control HD graphics did change to Christmas ones, and I got the snowball achievement. Hopefully Valve doesn't disable my account for exploits related to Christmas achievements or whatever they did to some people. Or were those people trading or something?

Also no matter what, I never got Flight Control HD to stop installing the VC redist every single time, or at least trying to.

 

[neoism]

will I guess this is the best deal for ACity.... I tried with greengaming but it didn't work..... does it work better on steam?

 

[Str0ngStyle]

Anybody got a skyrim related coupon they aren't gonna use

 

[LQX]

Will we be able to craft coal after today? The drawing for some contest is tomorrow so I wonder if it disappears after that.

 

[Forkball]

Thank god for recap day, I got Arkham City after missing it earlier.

(You're fine)

 

[spicy cho]

This sale really sucked for me, mainly because most of the games that were on the dailies I own already or have no interest in. I really wanted anno 2070 and would have bought it even at a slight discount, but nooo.

 

[MacGurcules]

Yeah, it's all gone tomorrow. Keep in mind, if you craft it, you're only going to get Valve games or coupons, now.

 

[Saty]

We still didn't get the yearly Valve summary of Steam's performance, did we? I wonder if 2011 was another consecutive year where Steam had more than 100% growth.

 

[Xzior]

This site (http://www.steamprices.com) is pretty handy for anybody wanting to compare prices across the different Steam Stores.

 

[Shorty11857]

Anyone in the UK willing to get Skyrim for me? I'll paypal in advance just PM me

 

[Minsc]

I'm half sold, but I need more than that!

Let's compare RAGE vs Serious Sam 3 graphic options:

RAGE

Serious Sam 3

This is not a max setup for SS3, stuff like resampling can be set to lanczos instead of bilinear, lots of Highs can bump up to ultra, etc

 

[Sober]

Any of the Arkham City DLC worth the money?

Nightwing and Robin only playable in challenge maps but they both add their own challenge maps and campaigns.

The costume pack you can skip if you aren't a super batman fan or anything.

The challenge map pack comes with a new predator map (Rocksteady's interpretation of the Batcave), an endurance map (endless thugs) and a timed score attack one where the better you do, you face harder enemies (watch a YT video, hard to explain).

 

[dragonlife]

That's the most impressive settings list I've ever seen.

 

[Cfuentes]

Total Sales Damage.

I'm happy.
Won The Witcher EE, and DOTA 2 (traded for L4D Bundle)

Self control achievement unlocked!

lol. I did the same thing.

 

[TheExodu5]

Damn you, Minsc! Damn you!

 

[cyberheater]

What does this mean?

 

[Xzior]

What does this mean?

That you have 4 items in you inventory.

 

[Rufus]

Did you get that one now, or what?

 

[MRORANGE]

What does this mean?

you got all the Tom Clancy - Ghost Recon games, congrats!

 

[Chesskid1]

I think I'll buy it anyways, $15 for the ultimate edition ain't bad.

heh, you can buy both DA1:UE and DA2 for LESS then the price of just DA1 (steam) on other DD services.

 

[Sober]

Anyone who has GRID, is it really 13 gigs for install size? I really don't want to download something that big =\

 

[MacGurcules]

What does this mean?

Oh crap. You've got Serious Sam 3 in your inventory? That's been known to blow up your entire account. You'd better send it to me so I can defuse it properly.

 

[cyberheater]

That you have 4 items in you inventory.

I'm know I'm being a thicky but what does that mean? Are they mine? What can I do with them?

The HD remakes had the same settings suite. Doesn't change that the whole series looks like artistic vomit.

 

[rezuth]

I'm know I'm being a thicky but what does that mean? Are they mine? What can I do with them?

You can send them too me or use them yourself.

 

[lunarworks]

Well, I finally get to play Portal 2!

 

[Cloudius12]

I'm know I'm being a thicky but what does that mean? Are they mine? What can I do with them?

You can unpack them and add them to your game library.

 

[K.Jack]

Transformers never made it as a daily deal....

*cries*

 

[SmithnCo]

What does this mean?

Daaamn son. Some of you got some good stuff.

 

[Chesskid1]

if you bought anything on amazon and got the $5 promotion for any bestselling 2012 title it's now live.

best deal is shogun 2 steamworks for $2.50

oh, and AC1 is free /w the $5 credit, so hurry if you want it. total war rome was free but they changed it.

 

[MNC]

I love that settings list but damn I only know like half of it :/

 

[Xzior]

I'm know I'm being a thicky but what does that mean? Are they mine? What can I do with them?

Yes they are yours, you can either unpack the games to add to your game library or if they are marked as tradeable you can trade and/or gift them to others.
