He should have taken that money and given it to charity or gifted out games. That is one of the largest wastes of money I have ever seen.
I wouldn't seek him out and hound him about it, but that is beyond ridiculous.

Resident Evil 6 is tempting... but I still haven't beat (or owned) 5 yet. I'm afraid to get 5 because of GFWL shutting down soon, and it isn't $5 right now.
Looks like they're swimming on card money at Asia. I saw a couple of users from japan that were 100+

did i miss the völgar the viking deal? is it any good? the videos looked a bit, well, terrifying on the difficulty level.
It was and the discount was removed.
Same with many others Capcom titles! Why is this, I don't know, but it's a shame.Because it sux or what?

on sale on the humble store at the moment.
I didn't think it was that bad. The mechanics are kind of strange, but it's far from the worst entry in the series.
I'd be up for one. PayPal?

People are always selling their AMD/Nvidia promo game codes that come with new graphics cards. If you're not a crazy steam card collector, AC4 is an Nvidia/Uplay code which I see going for £10-£15.
I'd say it's the second worst, due to the original being nearly unplayable these days.
Nonsensical, pointless story, completely broken disguise system, and mostly linear levels. It is the antithesis of what Hitman is all about.
The first one and contracts.
Hitman 2 is still da best by a very large margin anyways.

why not? it is not a bad game, it is not a bad hitman game also... it is a modernization of the formula for the COD generation and it is not a bad PC port, looks gorgeous.
I'd be down.

Why not? The game is amazing and the best in the Hitman series too.

I asked this question before but how's Slender: The Arrival?
There were some serious issues over the Summer Sale
This was really before the raffle system was implemented, people were taking ludicrous amounts of keys by constantly refreshing the thread.
Then they were either selling or trading the codes to get more expensive games, locking out people who truly wanted to try out the games being given away.
A couple of particular members stick out in my mind, Javadots and BHK3 in particular.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
Count me in if you can take paypal

It's plenty fast for me right now. No issues with the store or Community.
Sure thing. Will PM you the details in a moment.
As in buying in with TF2? That would be fine, 1.5 keys would be 1 key and 3 refined.
Count me in.
You must have missed the first steam sale when Stump finished the modbot system. There was one dude who entered every giveaway (before the whole raffle system IIRC) and was flipping the games. Stump has added safeguards to prevent that kind of stuff like that though.

I've finally found it, the elusive, legendary wrong opinion
Thing is, you have no idea that they aren't doing that as well as buying cards. Don't jump to conclusions.
And I'm guessing you don't look at the DOTA 2 scene too much.
you just dropped a Derrick pheromone bomb with that comment. Im afraid to tell you...

You don't need to play 5 to play/understand 6. 5 barely gets any nods thrown at it. The most you'll get from playing/beating 5 before 6 is a Title.
guys remember to ignore eyeless's post
begin vicious cycle now

Excellent point, I am assuming quite a bit about that particular person's personality considering their superfluous purchases.

Tempted by Volgarr!
can winners of Red Faction Guerilla and Armageddon please tell me if you actually won those games, and not vice versa lol. fucking GMG
In case you didn't get my PM (my browser glitched), the codes for Armageddon and the DLC were spot on and worked just fine. Thank you for them.
Enter and win them only to go to trade or sell the games rather than enjoying/suffering/experiencing the games for themselves as is the intention.
People should get RE6. It's definitely a mixed bag, but the campaign is hilarious if you play with someone and enjoy goofy, over-the-top scenes that have no reasonable explanation to them. As in, explosions everywhere.
Once you finish the campaign, the real meat of the game is the Mercenaries mode (though it's unlocked right from the start). There are actually two variants on PC: The Mercenaries (regular) and The Mercenaries No Mercy (PC-exclusive). The differences are huge for sure. In the regular mode, enemies spawn at specific locations on any given map once you kill a certain number of enemies, and you need to navigate/learn where this happens so you can keep up your combo for as long as you can. The total number of enemies on a map is 150, and getting a full 150-combo requires finesse. The No Mercy variant does away with most of the strategy and goes balls-to-the-wall fuck-awesome with the number of enemies on screen at once, making the regular variant seem anemic in comparison. The combo is doubled to 300, but the number of enemies isn't capped at 300 at all. Oh, no. There are tons and tons and tons of enemies and it's awesome. It's definitely a fun mode to play in short bursts or for hours, and it's the part of the game where the mechanics really shine bright, if you give it a chance. The finesse required in the regular variant is mostly gone, but the threat of death is much higher when you have all kinds of enemy types being thrown at you.
You can pretty much skip all the DLC, but I will say that the Onslaught DLC is my favorite. It's extremely unique and satisfying, but it's 1v1 and finding people playing it when the mood strikes is hard (and that's true for any of the modes, frankly). It's basically a mix of Puzzle League/Tetris Attack/Panel de Pon and RE6 gameplay. You kill enemies and build up your combo (up to 30), and when you get the max combo or drop it, you send that many number of enemies to your opponent's side. the higher the combo, the deadlier the enemies you send over. it's a very exhilarating mode and I highly recommend it, but, again, virtually no one plays it. BUT I DO
Hmm, I never did get past the demo for RE6 due to my problems with it, but I do love Mercenaries and other people's tips do seem to add a lot more variety to the combat. I think I'll put it back on my wishlist for a later sale once I have money again.
Thanks for the insight.

Yeah I remember the Javadots incident. He took multiple keys and was like "whoops", lol.

That's a bold statement. Better than 2? I thought Absolution was part of the boiled down Hitman camp.

Okay Judas.
Even if it doesn't get a deeper discount, get it by the end of the sale. You wont regret it.

So AC2 didn't want to launch at first, apparently because Uplay's stupid overlay conflicted with Steam's. When I disabled the former, the game launched, but now I noticed voices were extremely crackly, and I still haven't fixed it.
Ubi games are such a mess on PC, it's a disgrace.
