Just bought the D&D megapack from gamersgate. First time I'll play these games and 4,99 for the Baldur's gates, Icewind dales, planescape torment and The Temple of Elemental Evil is not too shabby. No steam though.

 

[PandaPedinte]

It was a cute idea/experience, but the game of course couldnt live up to the hype. You start out by controlling the creation yourself, then evolving. The best part of the game is showing promise of what a truly great game could look like in a few years if the concept of Spore is executed properly. It was worth playing/experiencing it, but its not a particularly good game.

I still rememr reading about this game before the launch, the idea sounded amazing but I never played and then I read a lot of critics saying tge game didn't match the hype.

Square Enix Surprise Christmas Bundle Contents for the Euro Bros


Just Cause 2 (RRP £9.99/€14.99)
Hitman: Blood Money (RRP £6.99/€8.99)
Tomb Raider (RRP £29.99/€49.99)
Dungeon Siege III (RRP £9.99/€14.99)

The surprise pack was surprisingly bad (in my opinion)

 

[More_Badass]

I think the general consensus is that it's awful.

I would just wait for Team Meat's Mewgenics or whatever it's called.

Thanks for saving me $5

This is my favorite deal this season. $5 for all five Infinity Engine games with expansions, DRM free? Best bang for buck I've ever seen.

 

[Jawmuncher]

Is this the "Surprise gift" bundle some people got?

Yep it is. Not a bad haul but JaseC owns all of it.

Source? I haven't got my email yet

Edit: nevermind : http://eu.square-enix.com/en/blog/time-open-square-enix-christmas-surprise-box

You saved me some work there.

By the way, did you know that there is a gaffer in The Last Express credits? His name is Eric Stromberger! I somewhat failed this screenshot, but you can see it:

Just thought it was funny (I know what does the word "gaffer" actually means in this context).

 

[Stephen_drewz]

Likely to get buried very quickly but could someone please recommend some games that don't revolve around killing? I need a break.

Can be Indie, AAA or anything in between. Racer, platformer, adventure whatever goes.

My burnt out gamer-self with two weeks holidays thanks you in advance!

Yeah, well, I'm kinda ok with Tomb Raider for 7€, could have been worse if I had all the games already.

See the post above you. The Last Express is very solid, unique and pretty cheap to boot.

 

[JaseC]

I'm not sure are you all really that much into sims, or it's just mild trolling (><)

here is another sim in the making

Jasec is making it

Haha, one of these days I'll put up... something. Might as well make use of my ill-fated attempt to hit 2k with the SGSF.

 

[The_Monk]

Yep it is. Not a bad haul but JaseC owns all of it.

Thanks for answering. It's nice for those that had none of the titles, I'm glad I did not went for it as the only title I would want from the bundle would be Dungeon Siege III so it's all good.

 

[Volcynika]

Let them learn the hard way.

Then we'll get to see "MAN VALVE SUCKS I DIDN'T KNOW IT COULD GET CHEAPER."

To the moon, Speedrunners, Two Tribes complete pack, Gone Home, the Stanley Parable, Sonic All Star Racing Transformed. Also check the thread Toma linked.

 

[Snkfanatic]

It almost was a community pick.

Ya I was a little mift on that :\ hopefully it shows up as a flash or daily.

Thanks, I forgot about the Two Tribes games. Got them in a Humble Bundle a while ago. Installing Rush now.

Uh, that's actually pretty good.
Now I wish I had gotten it.

That's what I get for expecting mostly old games that I already owned.

World of Goo was a breath of fresh air years ago when I played it. Currently 75% off meaning $2.50

also pinball fx2 is a good non-killing palette cleanser. lots of tables are cheap if you missed the humble bundle a few weeks back.

 

[Lain]

I own them all already but, apart from DS3 which I feel is quite bad, the rest of the games aren't bad at all.

 

[Ganzor]

damn knew i should have bought that Square enix box would have loved to get Tomb Raider

 

[TronLight]

I love that Revengeance it's the second best seller. I hope this will mean more big japanese titles on PC. (Looking at MGSV and Platinum's output :lol)

Also, Spore is third? What the hell?

PC gamers will buy anything at the right price.

Don't misunderstand me. It's bad because I already got all of the games, not because the quality of games

 

[SneakyStephan]

man binary domain is hella fun, the controls are great

Wish they'd port the Yakuza games over

sarcasm, right?
I loved the story, AI and hit detection binary domain but the controls are literally (seriously) the worst mouse controls to ever appear in a game, EVEN worse than bioshock 1-2 (and infinite)

The game emulates an analog stick, there is no actual mouse aim in this game, it's not even about aim acceleration or anything
There is no shooter with worse controls than this, ever , it's worse than resident evil 4

 

[inter]

Was really close to buying Metal Gear until I saw minimum system requirement on the processor is an i5. I have an i3-3220; will I even be able to get it to run?

There's your problem.
You didn't play with the superior controller.

 

[rtcn63]

Probably. The difference between an i3 and i5 in many games that aren't CPU bound (MMORPG, RTS) is often minimal.

 

[StWilson85]

Awesome dude, thank you very much.

I'll be sure to pay it forward during the sale.

 

[JaseC]

You played a game.

Fixed.

Pendulos adventure game pack

good stuff

 

[Zushin]

Yes. Yes, it is. (Voted for it just now too, so hopefully it wins.)

Excellent.

 

[Tellaerin]

Thanks for the heads-up there - I'll definitely make sure to play through it with a gamepad when I get around to my playthrough.

It'll be fine.

I updated the prices for the Steam Sale Indie Games thread:
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=621131

Made it for the summer sale, had it renamed and now repurposed for the current sale. If anyone has new entries for that list that he recommends (since tons of games released since summer), make sure to post it over there (see OP for how to format).

That's what I was hoping, but was surprised when I saw that. Thanks!

Lol

The next time you play an AC game and Uplay lost your saves I'm going to post the same thing. XD

 

[Volcynika]

Well SteamGAF, eye surgery I mentioned yesterday happens in two hours. Hopefully will be ready to see the new daily deals. See you guys on the other side!

 

[Gunmonkey36]

Also, Spore is third? What the hell?

People seem to have a compulsion to fill their steam libraries with terrible crap just b/c its on sale.

Store: "Hey guys we have a bag of shit here"

Customer: "Eww WTF is wrong with you?"

Store: "It's on sale during steam winter sale"

Customer: "TAKE MY MONEY!!!!"

Spoiler

Also opinions are opinions so in theory some people might actually consider Spore fun? In theory....

Played with M+KB just fine.
Then again, I played Dead Space and Bioshock like this too.

Spore is fun. You need to approach it with right way though.

Has anyone made a post of hidden gem deals yet? Would like one to know what to buy

I had a great time with Spore. I'd buy it right now if the price wasn't stupid in the UK compared to the US one.

I can help with buying from U.S. Steam store. Just add me on Steam or send me a pm.

If someone knows someone who knows anyone who is related to the Steam sale, it would be nice to have a sale on this as well as the Tom Clancy series (the game collector in me is missing these gems from my collection)
