Steam Holiday Sales 2013 |OT2| DIE HARD (AND HAPPY NEW YEAR)

Not open for further replies.
I got DMC for $10 on GMG yesterday, in case anyone was thinking about getting that. Not sure if it's still that price there.

No, their deals finally changed, I think it's gone.

meh

free is free

(1) Use your words, Cheddahz
(2) free is not free. Not if you're talking about DmC.

Come on Capcom, put the Dmc DLC on sale as well, christ.

It was on sale during the Halloween sale, I think? Or the Thanksgiving sale -- whichever sale I bought the game during... it's odd that it's not now.

Van Helsing DLC on sale? A Christmas miracle. But I don't know if I even want it.

I don't know if I do either, but I think I'm going to bite now before they take it away from me and I can't buy it at a discount later. Damn you, Steam.

Well, DMC was on my watch list, but seeing as PS+ is giving it away for free next month, well....

No.
The PS3 is the worst of the 3 versions.
If you're going to give the game a fair shot, playing it on PC @ 60fps is the most advisable answer.
If you're going to play it on consoles, x360 is the best option, though I wouldn't recommend that.

They say it's serviceable, but I suppose it depends on how you feel about this: "The crisp controls become temporarily compromised in hectic scenes, delivering an experience which doesn't feel as consistent or enjoyable."

DmC vs. Dark Souls?

How is this even a competition?

I know, right?

Galaxy on Fire 2 is tempting, but the "mobile" origins is making me afraid. What's the deal there in this PC port?

oh nice. I bought that the other day and haven't had a chance to play it. Guess I know what I'm doing tonight

You should. It's pretty fun.

Also unlike some other game it has no memes (the closest it has is merely referencing BELIEVE IT!)

Oh rock of ages, do not crumble, love is breathing still. Oh lady moon shine down, a little people magic if you will.
Loved and hated what i've played from Dark Souls on PS3, up to the gargoyles. I liked the game itself, exploration was amazing, but spending a couple dozen hours in a world which feels so... dark, I don't know. Eugh. There wasn't any point of light you could work toward too, either. Game certainly is amazing, though.
Six bucks is a hard bargain.

modbot sucks at choosing what games to highlight with pictures. Anyway, as usual, enjoy:



I snuck in a few keys that werent claimed from that first giveaway, someone take them already lol. Also, a note on the XCOM key, it was in a weird format so if it doesnt work, you probably need to remove the XCOM: part

:O This is fantastic.

I'm looking for a gift for someone who really enjoy Mass Effect and Skyrim. I rarely play those sorts of games so I'm really not sure what's considered good.

If you stick with it long enough, you will see sunlight...

And also areas of complete pitch blackness.

Are those penny arcade games worth it for $6 or meh?
meh.

But then again, it's not my kind of humour, and their games are driven by that. Even though I like some of their comics.

Perhaps The Witcher 2? Similar setting to Skyrim, but third person and a bit more action-y. If it's mostly the dialogue the person enjoyed, then maybe Vampire The Masquerade: Bloodlines.

Once again Rhaknar, your giveaway is insanely gracious!
 
Quick query: the credit card that I use on my Steam account is about to expire in January, and I just got the new one in the mail. Will activating the replacement (same CC number, new expiration date) lock me out of the Steam marketplace for a week? If so, I guess I'll wait until the sale is over. Thanks!

Well, Mass Effect Trilogy is on sale for $10 at Amazon, but if you're talking about games that are like those games? Deus Ex HR, Two Worlds II, Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning are some choices (Deus Ex is more like Mass Effect, Two Worlds II/Amalur are more like Skyrim).
 
You are playing an alpha, it's obviously not the same thing.

So you're ok with pre-ordering games that aren't finished and you don't even know if they are good, but not buying games that aren't finished that let you play them before release? Doesn't make much sense to me.

dragon age origins, your friend might've already played it though, but it has similar dialogue system as mass effect but has a fantasy rpg setting.
