Steam Holiday Sales 2013: DIE HARDER
- Thread starter Salsa
- Start date
- Status
Ok, thank you for the explanation.
Now I can make sense of the "AllowPurchaseFromRestrictedCountries" yes/no thing.
I will see if I can find out more, and post here if I do find out anything useful.
Can anyone help me?
I recently got a new laptop and was wondering if there's any games in the Steam sale that I could run? Possibly The Witcher games? Not looking to run them at max settings or anything!
Windows 8
AMD Quad-Core A6-5200 Accelerated Processor
8GB RAM
AMD Radeon HD 8400 Graphics
Any help would be appreciated.

The Bioshocks are the better games by far.

I'd go with the Bioshock Triple Pack and wait for Borderlands 2 GOTY to hit a better price.
EDIT: Where can you get it for 13.49 btw?
Oh wow...and Valve is okay wit--....of course they are.
I really hope they intend to actually finish the game someday.

Unfortunately I know sweet F all about laptop graphics cards, but I can say that if anybody here gives you the go ahead, change that "possibly" to "definitely" play The Witcher games.
Borderlands games are great if you like loot. It's also much more for Co-op but if you don't like it you can always play Solo. If you start with the first one I don't believe you will be jumping right way for the second one immediately so you could just wait for a later sale after you finished the first one which can take you quite some time if you do all the Quests and explore everything.
Bioshock games are shorter and more Story driven so you'll probably get more story but less time in each separate title. It's up to you.
I would got for the Bioshock Triple Pack only because I doubt I would play both Borderlands in a row, meaning I could get one and then grab the second one, but it's up to you and your personal taste fellow GAFfer.
Let's be friends!

Triple pack, definitely. The Borderlands game are Borderline boring (HAH!)
I definitely want to play them, it's just whether they'll run or not! I'd happily take the lowest settings, I just want to play them haha.
Yup, it makes your PC download more RAM for free, except this extra RAM has a trojan.
I think it's risky. I've got a laptop with a 525m and I can barely run Witcher 2 at low settings, a HD 8400 would have more trouble I think. Maybe someone can correct me if I'm wrong.

Works fine for me on my 7870, except the P option which freezes the app after FXAA.

Right-click Braid in your games list, choose properties, then click the "Set Launch Options" button. In this window, enter -width xxxx -height yyyy where the x corresponds to the width of your resolution, and the y to the height.
Ah okay, would the original Witcher be a better pick for me then?
It should be in the launch options.

I sucked six dicks to get this tag.
None of the dlc is worth it and there are no plans for single player dlc.
Seems to be an issue with the Firefox version. I think it may be because the wishlist is hosted on steamcommunity.com while the data that tells ES whether or not you own a game is pulled from steampowered.com; I remember jshackles saying something about how Firefox doesn't allow information to be pulled from a source hosted on a different domain (an overbearing security concern, presumably).

I crafted my first winter badge and got an extraordinary item for War Thunder whatever that is and sold it for $1.50. Not bad

Use this 20% voucher GMG20-ZB5D1-93X49
Great. I don't have a big rig now but I'm getting an FX-6300 and mobo right after Christmas. Then a new video card.
I went for it. Hopefully guy sends code soon. I hate waiting.

Yeah! We should start our own server with blackjack and hookers...eh, forget about the blackjack.
Possibly, though even with that I'm not sure if you can run it. Maybe try this site:

It can be a bit dodgy sometimes though.

Hahaha, I'm on Chrome too!
Sorry I didn't spit out all the details but I think that's everything now... It was working fine leading up to this sale but yeah, I'm at a loss. My wishlist is quite large though simply because if there's any new DLC or games that may interest me I just throw them on there for sale purposes so I don't have to go through the entire Steam catalog again.

I played a bit of casual GO the other day, and didn't notice any idiots. But if you meet any just avoid reading the chat.

Crusader Kings II worth $10?
Also, is there some way I can set up Steam to hit me with a mild electric shock if Divinity Dragon Commander drops under $20?

I microwave steaks.
Ah, guess the code is case sensitive (wow). Thanks a lot, Remember me and Devil may cry for $22.50 ain't half bad.
Awesome thanks, just bought it from amazon at $5 (with $5 promotional credit for January)
DMC was on a community vote for a 75% = ~12$ , so even if it is a daily most chances are it's going to me more expensive than on GMG (with the 20% voucher)

Afaik, it runs ok. You have to deal with Origin though. But if you liked the first 2 games I, as former huge ME fan, would advise you to stay clear of the third (it ruined the series for me lore, story and character wise). If you are not that much into the story and characters it is a solid game.
Not gonna bite, not gonna bite, not gonna...
As a shooter it's acceptable (especially in co-op; do NOT play it solo), but as a F.E.A.R. game it's an abomination.
Damn, I bit.

Couldn't fullfill the transaction due to living in The Netherlands, so I send the man an e-mail about buying just the code.
Ofcourse, a couple of minutes after that I discover it's against eBay policy to ask for an transaction beyond eBay.
Oh well.
Thief for that price might just be too good to be true.
In other news; I'm really liking Marvel Puzzle Quest! The Pay2Win stuff can easily be avoided, and leveling/collecting Marvel Heroes is really fun. Interest in the source material is a must, though.

I had no idea that was even on sale there. I wish they had a place that listed what was on sale instead of individual little pages, it's rather annoying. I actually didn't even find it on one of those little sub-sections.
But don't forget the hookers!
