Merry Holidays and Happy Christmas SteamGAF!

It's the 24th over here and I'm going to go eat a massive Christmas dinner, but before I go figured I should come over here and wish you guys all the best. I've only been actively posting here for about 4 months, and SteamGAF is the best GAF.

Just so you all know.

Just bought RE6 for £4 on GMG thanks to that voucher, feels like I'm ripping off Capcom...

Don't worry about it, they've been ripping us off for years.

What price will Ducktales be on Amazon?
It's £4.99 at GMG now.
RE6 is £4.99
Dungeons & Dragons: Chronicles of Mystara is £2.99

Edit:.. Did somebody buy me Ducktales? It's shows up as purchased on GMG and steam-code is in my games...

 

[Kaleinc]

Buy 30 games!

No need to buy, activating 30 will do the trick.

GMG doesn't support gift purchases and only recently introduced the option to buy an owned game again.

 

[Zeliard]

Castlevania LoS is $8 on GMG with the 20% discount code

Sorry if old, woke up only recently.

This is very tempting

Argh must stop buying games

 

[Xyber]

that's some fast DL speed. even with a 100mbps connection here my DL speed only goes to around 8 MB/s

Upgraded from 100/10Mbit to 250/50Mbit the other week, soo good. Max out at 30MB/s, which is kinda crazy.

Ok, I'm starting to worry about myself....
Seems like I bought Ducktales December 2nd. Just forgot about it.
Third time today this happens...

 

[PepsimanVsJoe]

Bought Remember Me.

My wallet is getting smashed.

 

[Iztli]

Remember Me for 10 from GMG.
Guarntee even if it pops up as a daily it won't be that cheap

thank you ^^

 

[kudoboi]

Just bought a code for Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet on eBay for $2. Seems like a terrific price for that game.

you just got scammed. its from bundlestars

http://www.bundlestars.com/all-bundles/indie-capsule-bundle/

edit: beaten

y u no wait for daily

he probably bought it from GMG which is only 10 bucks. i doubt even daily will offer such a huge discount but who knows

Picked up Batman Origins at Amazon and want to pick up Lego Marvel and Castle of Illusion tomorrow. Deadpool is 10 bucks there...any good? Looks like a decent action game for the price.

I also bought Remember Me at GMG..why the heck not.

I do not recommend deadpool. i pre ordered it and felt that the gameplay was very boring, there was no story and the jokes were sub par. id wait for a much bigger discount

You bought it while you were sleeping. Welcome to the club!

[PepsimanVsJoe]

I think a few Deadpool reviews have popped up in the Steam thread.

The general consensus is that the game is trash.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Braid is really good.

I strongly disagree though

 

[Krappadizzle]

I strongly disagree though

But you're wrong.

 

[Bor]

I can't believe that throughout this sale, dayz is still the top selling game. Rocket must be swimming in cash right now

Remember Me is dope.

 

[JBourne]

No, that seems pretty fair for what you're getting.

 

[NaM]

I strongly disagree though

Please explain, I believe the game is genius but I would like to know your reasons.

 

[Zeliard]

Bought Remember Me.

My wallet is getting smashed.

Just bought Brothers and Tomb Raider from Amazon, and Castlevania from GMG.

I just need to wait for Spelunky and hope The Swapper gets a good sale and then I'll stop. Really. I will.

 

[Oublieux]

Remember Me is dope.

Not liking how it's not being sold in Korea due to region lock, sigh.

 

[JaseC]

I think the German versions of GTA:SA and Sniper Elite: Zombie Army will be my last purchases of the sale as I've overspent, haha. Oops. I'll pick up what I can between now and the final day with card money.

 

[Mr Swine]

So how safe is GMG? Does it have virus?

 

[Nabs]

Injustice is 20 at Amazon. Tempting.

 

[JaseC]

So how safe is GMG? Does it have virus?

GMG is a publisher-recognised retailer and thus perfectly safe.

 

[hohoXD123]

So how safe is GMG? Does it have virus?

Lol, it's safe.

 

[Mr Swine]

GMG is an officially-recognised retailer and thus perfectly safe.

Good, I get a bit

Spoiler

very much

paranoid registering on new sites and buying stuff

 

[Crab Milk Mickey]

Got SteamWorld Dig just from watching its video trailer it looks like a real fun game.

Simple and relaxing game, but it's good fun nonetheless and doesn't overstay its welcome.

Tomb Raider is definitely worth it at that price.

Even the discounted Amazon price is too much to ask for such a stinker of a game.

 

[FloatOn]

Injustice is 20 at Amazon. Tempting.

yes it is... right at the threshold of my "spend no more than 20 on a late pc port" rule

 

[Adry9]

DmC: Devil May Cry is 8€ on GMG with a coupon, lowest price ever. Convince me not to buy it please xD

 

[gngf123]

Finally bit on Lords of Shadow. £4.61.

Nuuvem ended up being quite a lot cheaper than GMG in the end.

 

[TheSeks]

DmC: Devil May Cry is 8€ on GMG with a coupon, lowest price ever. Convince me not to buy it please xD

It's extremely mediocre. DMC1, 3, 4 > it >= 2.

 

[Blue Ninja]

So how safe is GMG? Does it have virus?

It's one of the most important causes of the Salitis worm.

Consequences of being infected include buying too much, having too much debt, having too much games, growing poor, losing your house, and starving to death.

Be careful.

 

[Adry9]

Dat level design & artstyle tho

 

[Tizoc]

Nah it's decent. It's nothing remarkable as its more style over substance but it's a fun romp thanks to DP's crazyness and the humor.

 

[Vazduh]

DmC: Devil May Cry is 8€ on GMG with a coupon, lowest price ever. Convince me not to buy it please xD

Do not not buy it!

 

[Kerub]

Did Brothers win?

 

[Divius]

Did Brothers win?

Nope, Chilvary won.

 

[Gvaz]

Is it just me or is fear 3 total shit?

Runs like shit, lock behind cover shooter, 2 guns, ai is totally dumb as fuck and talks too much, etc

 

[soontroll]

By buying games

I already bought three cheap games I wasn't even interested in for the sake of XP and two that I actually wanted from the sale :/

Buy 30 games!

Or craft a badge, the cheapest at the moment is Rogue Legacy at just over 60 cents for the set. Or maybe complete the community badge, no cost involved.

I did the community badge yesterday which is what got me this far but I just bought the Rogue Legacy ones and now I'm level 5!

Thanks to both of you!

 

[Boss Doggie]

Please explain, I believe the game is genius but I would like to know your reasons.

Graphics is terrible (sprite stickers is something every indie dev should not aspire for)
Gameplay is very simplistic and boring (go play Blinx for a better time manipulation game)
Narrative is forced and felt like "it's deep and relevant to nukes" for shits and giggles (the same crap I see on people saying about Inception's ending being "vague")

 

[Tizoc]

Dat level design & artstyle tho

Ignore the naysayers, buy it and bask its glorious visual presentation on your high end PC.
Besides this is the Steam thread it's not like we actually play what we buy.

 

[tkscz]

Left4Dead 2 needs to go on sale so I can gift it to someone.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Honestly Braid is one of those games that get voted high due to "experience" rather than gameplay, stuff like Journey, Flower, Guacamelee and Tearaway tend to get.

 

[random]

There is no low-violence version of the Valve Complete Pack.

Ok, so that would be the "ViolenceRestrictedCountries" flag that the Orange Box sub has, but the Valve Complete Pack has not.

You were explaining a couple of days ago that some Valve games use the IP to determine the version (region specific or not) of the game, instead of using separate subs.

Is that what this flag does? And you wouldn't happen to know, if the check is on run time or when the game is bought / the code is redeemed?

I was planing to have someone in Italy buy the Orange Pack as a gift on Steam for me, when it was a little more discounted. That would not work if the version is determined when running the game. It would mean I have to buy the complete pack in order to avoid the cuts.

I am trying to make some sense of the SteamDB site, and the thousand ways in which games can be restricted on Steam.

Your post explaining the intricacies of the Steam system are always really helpful, thanks.

If you have a PS3, just buy a PS+ subscription, and you'll get it for free, along with loads of other stuff. If you already have PS+, then you don't need to buy anything.

Otherwise, that's an excellent price. Go nuts.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Does the steam version of Castle Crashers have new stages?

If you have a PS3, just buy a PS+ subscription, and you'll get it for free, along with loads of other stuff. If you already have PS+, then you don't need to buy anything.

Well, "free" anyway.

 

[SkyTurnsRed]

I can't convince myself to pull the trigger on that Remember Me deal. Not sure why. :/
