the bio infinite dlc is pretty cool but the game got 10x better when I dialed it back to normal from hard

combat just isn't fun in hard mode

 

[neoism]

None of them.

I can get to the store page for King of Fighters but it times out when I add it to cart. If I refresh the timed out cart page, I get an empty cart. There's like two hours left for this flash deal that I cannot buy even though I badly want to.

 

[Sajjaja]

Yes.

But you could also just get 1+2 GOTY for 12 dollar at amazon:

BL2 isn't GOTY.

For you : Far Cry 3 BD.
The best giveaway, I think, will be Sleeping Dogs.

FC3: Blood Dragon if you like 80s cartoon/movies and FPS genre in general.

Unless you love love love Dirt and have like a wheel or an Occulus rift or something, go for Blood Dragon.

FC3:BD isn't bad, and can be pretty enjoyable if you consume '80s references like a madman. If you've played the regular FC3 and loved it, BD is arguably is a big step down since so many elements are removed. For me, it got repetitive very quickly.

Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon, that's what I would choose, it's a fun FPS

Dammit, Thanks for the advice, but I just checked and Farcry 3: BD is uplay not steam (the same on Amazon). Why? I don't know...hmm what to do now? :/

If Dirt 3 is Steam, I'll buy it from you for $5 and you can use that $5 to get Blood Dragon on Amazon.

Yes, Dirt 3 is a Steam copy.

btw, I'll keep an eyeon your Hitman giveaway, if you run a modbot giveaway obviously

I'm pretty sure I already have a spare key but a warning, it has nothing to do with the previous entries into the series except the main protagonist staring in all of them. The stealth is damaged by the fact that the AI is completely broken. In addition the game is the prime rebuttal to anyone who makes the argument that magic abilities intended to simplify difficulty for the mainstream is obviated because the developers give an option to play the game without. The game mechanics and encounters are built around the assumption that the player will have the abilities available to them.

I'm curious about Sleeping Dogs, personally.

Thematically and gameplay wise, it's a videogame representing the major Hong Kong Martial Arts movies made over the years. So the major focus is on hand to hand combat. There is a bit of gun play, but guns are implemented as single use items rather than equipment that you carry around for the rest of the game.


It's a hugely underrated game that managed to pass under every ones radar.

 

[Head of Vengarl]

Didn't this happen to gaf as well?

Yes, I remember that. Was a few months ago right? I think it's happened a couple times.

 

[Falifax]

Seeing your avatar, I guess that it"s a TNT reference, but that was a reference of this awesome episode of Podtoid

Yeah, but honestly, I didn't realize that until after I had posted it.

 

[Valkerionseven]

Mmm thinking of actually spending money on steam this year... avoided it for 2 years just rolling free games... cannot... resist.... UGH!

 

[plasmawave]

Anyone else having problem with the steam store?

 

[DorianD]

I should say-- It's Brothers - A Tale of Two Sons, not the bad one.

Thank you very much Intheflorsh for Civ IV! Merry christmas and a happy new year!

 

[Cizard]

BL2 isn't GOTY.

Oh, I thought they both were. Not that good a deal then I guess.

 

[rockx4]

Anyone else having problem with the steam store?

Yea it's mostly dead.

 

[MNC]

What are people flipping out at BL2 GOTY for, I mean that's just a good sale price right? No pricing error?

 

[kulapik]

It's going to be impossible to get Skyrim for less than 4 tf2 keys, right?

 

[Syphon Filter]

store is back!

 

[Head of Vengarl]

Anyone else having problem with the steam store?

Everyone is. It looks like Reddit traffic is the cause.

 

[zerokoolpsx]

store is back!

Still down for me.

 

[smokeandmirrors]

store is back!

Comes back and I get to my cart and then blows up again

all you people need to stop so *I* can buy and download my games. then y'all can fight for the rest of the bandwidth

 

[Turfster]

Still down for me.

I got half the store page! Wooo!
And then it died.

 

[Thug Waffle]

[fantomena]

[yuraya]

So nice of them to give L4D2 away for free. I've had that game on my wishlist for some time but never bothered to pick it up. Hoping its good.

Thumbs up to Gabe

 

[Curious_George]

I think this is going to be the first community vote that I miss. I haven't been able to access the front page since it went up.

 

[Rorschach]

Kof....

Gonna miss it

 

[Jason Frost]

PANIC!

 

[jediyoshi]

Everyone is. It looks like Reddit traffic is the cause.

10k upvotes can't be wrong.

 

[brickarts295]

After an insane amount of refreshing and pressing the back button I manage to get it, now downloading

 

[FACE]

Once the store comes back, if you don't buy discounted EUIV, you are doing PC gaming wrong.

GOTY 2013? GOTY 2013.

 

[Freeza Under The Shower]

It's still down. Brb, gotta go get a burger.

 

[InvaderZimmer]

See the store is down. Thought all my in-laws were stealing my bandwidth so I kicked them off the Wi-Fi. Maybe I'll let them stew a little bit longer

I already have the game and the store won't load, but is the game actually free?

 

[SteveWinwood]

[feel]

stearnpowered.com is up

 

[Turfster]

I already have the game and the store won't load, but is the game actually free?

Yes, for one day only.

I think this is going to be the first community vote that I miss. I haven't been able to access the front page since it went up.

You have 2 hours left.
Keep on believing!

 

[jaundicejuice]

Why why why why why why why did they have to do this Left 4 Dead giveaway-pre-amble-to-the-game-going-free-to-play during the fucking Steam Winter sale!? This is so stupid and it has to be costing them so much money.

 

[PK_man]

[alr1ght]

[More_Badass]

Are the sales on Amazon for a limited time? Or at least would they end today or last longer than the next day or two?

 

[hitmon]

Lame, it says community voting has ended..

 

[Santiako]

DON'T

PANIC!

 

[Dr.Acula]

Lame, it says community voting has ended..

That's an error, it comes and goes.

 

[Servizio]

I wonder if at any time before they implemented the 'Free Game On Christmas' plan someone said 'What could possibly go wrong?'

 

[Sarcasm]

I can't vote.....

**Voting has ended?

 

[Head of Vengarl]

10k upvotes can't be wrong.

The upboats don't lie.
