How many more days of new sales? They do the wrap up of the most popular ones on the 1st? or the 2nd?

Still hoping The Fall goes on sale but it is 50% off hmm...

I hope they do a recap of the most popular deals. I know I've certainly missed some of them - though if I recall correctly, there have been a couple of Steam sales where they did not have any recap of sales at the end.

I don't think there's any definite word on whether this will happen this time around!

Steam handles game patching. At worst the Uplay client may be need to download an update for itself.

Yeah that's what I mean. Usually when it does this Steam thinks you quit the game and Uplay just sort of generically launches.

Tempted to purchase Farming Simulator 2015... Should I?!

 

[Sarcasm]

Tempted to purchase Farming Simulator 2015... Should I?!

If your friends have it yes cause it really shines in multiplayer.

 

[TrueMenace]

Still no deals on Child of Light and Call of Juarez: Gunslinger, thanks Volvo.

 

[WanderingWind]

I have bought so much this year, but after reading the patch notes for BG2:EE, I may have to buy that for like, the 8th time.

 

[Ark]

Is the dlc worth it?
Many thanks for the response btw.

I wasn't actually aware of the DLC until just now, but given that it's so cheap I don't see a reason not to buy it

 

[overburning]

Is the dlc worth it?
Many thanks for the response btw.

Joe's Adventure is decent, it expands on the story a bit. The Jimmy one hardly has any story and is just a bunch of arcade style missions, wouldn't recommend it.

Finally playing shadow warrior, really isn't that bad 1hour in

 

[Sajjaja]

Man, I finished Shadowrun Returns in 11 or so hours and that was fantastic from start to finish. Best $1.99 spent on a game ever. If Dragonfall is actually better...

I've played 7 hours since I bought it. It's pretty great. Worth the purchase and I can't wait for Dragonfall.

 

[Card Boy]

I have being sitting on Torchlight 2 for like 2 years and finally decided to clock it. It turned out i only had ½ an hour left lol.

Returns feels more like a proof-of-concept or a tech-demo. Dragonfall is better in every way.

 

[Card Boy]

I can recommended the RACE games. 2 of those 7 games also have Steam cards.

Third-person platformer. It's similar to Ratcher & Clank/Crash/Sly Cooper but slower, longer, tedious puzzles and worse combat.

The game ends rather abruptly, it's all anticlimactic really.. The whole story just doesn't work out at all..

But the gameplay and looting is good I clocked 27 hours to finish it doing every side quest (Lvl 57 Embermage at game end) but I really don't feel like going back for a second run or a New Game+..

It's fun while it lasts.

 

[Brerlappin]

Its also got great story, amazing art style, fantastic sound, and the best use of PhysX in a PC game to date. Alice is a great game, its only problem is its levels are over long. Seriously for that price its so worth it. My GOTY in 2011

I don't think so. It's at Gamestop for $5.99 if you don't want to wait.

It's actually not that amazing without the expansions..

What's the best lan-game? Payday 2 or zomboid project?

My friend is borrowing one of my pc's. If both of us own the game, will he be able to start playing immediately if I install it on my account ahead or does he need to install it as well?

How are the Mount and Blade games? I've always been interested in trying them and now that M&B Warband is on sale I'm thinking about buying it.

It's working right now but it's been down for me a few times during the sale.

Sigh... another of my favorite group members has died. Shot by army deserters... All because I didn't want to rob innocent people. Guess that's my destination tomorrow night.

What a shame.

Warband multiplayer is amazing. So fun and lots of hilarious moments.

Singleplayer is amazing for a few hours but pretty much all missions, towns and characters are generic copy and pastes. The concept and scope is awesome though.

 

[hobblygobbly]

How are the Mount and Blade games? I've always been interested in trying them and now that M&B Warband is on sale I'm thinking about buying it.

They are fun and there are lots of mods for it too. Not graphically/aesthetically pleasing but the gameplay/concept is good and there really isn't any other game with the same concept. The modding scene is huge though so there's a lot of good stuff out there. The DLC is not bad either, I believe the Viking one just came out recently (haven't played it though).

They are making a new Mount and Blade game called Bannerlord which looks a lot better graphically. Here's one of the videos demonstrating the engine which is a huge improvement over the past one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=obO5sbziqjM

How's Minimum? Looks like quite fun, but not sure about how active is the community.

Is there somebody that can buy me the Brothers in Arms Pack from Steam?
http://store.steampowered.com/sub/1847/
I can't even open the store page from Germany. It contains all three parts right?
"Earned in Blood", "Road to Hill 30", "Hells Highway"

Will I be able to redeem the Gift/Key in Germany?

 

[subtleglitch]

Ah...very tempted to buy Tales from the Borderlands for $18 now...but don't know whether to wait for the encore sales for it, or not..

Oh. As for me, my Nuuvem experience has been fantastic. I wish I had done this for Black Friday. All I did was set up my Nuuvem account first, then I logged in and made my initial order afterwards. Some people seem to be having problems setting up an account WHILE making their initial order. I used Paypal and had no order issues whatsoever or any issues activating my keys. No VPN has been necessary. HUZZAH! Just make sure that no warning about a region lock is on the product page of the games you want.

Third-person platformer. It's similar to Ratcher & Clank/Crash/Sly Cooper but slower, longer, tedious puzzles and worse combat.

And 10 times more interesting aesthetics

Yeah, and the combat isn't even that bad. It's no DMC, that's true - it ain't even DmC - but it's perfectly serviceable third-person multi-weapon fighting.

Plus, you can get all the in-game DLC for free by changing a single word in the .ini file.

Yeah, i'd say it's worth getting.

I'm two missions away from clearing Valkyria Chronicles and I know that's going to leave a huge hole in my soul...

And I'm not sure I want to go back to FFXIII yet. I ended up buying X-COM, will that keep a similar style to Valkyria? (Minus the animu waifu squads and the god damn turn limit of course.)

Oh man- can't recommend XCOM enough. I'm in the same situation as you, only in reverse. I'm trying to pull myself away from my 60+ hour XCOM Long War campaign to get into Valkyria, where I've only just made it to base camp/squad management stuff. I think they share a lot in common if you're a strategy minded person. XCOM is the gift that keeps on giving and Enemy Unknown is a great expansion and improvement to the base game. Long War is a ridiculous mod if you end up liking what you play.

Doesn't the game have two sequels?

 

[Dambrosi]

I have indeed heard of that one-dollar game's brilliance. I really should get around to playing it.

Hey, Mogwai. Buy Marlow Briggs And The Mask Of Death too, if you haven't already. It's cool.

Doesn't the game have two sequels?

Yes...on PSP. And don't play VC2, it's generic high school crap.

*Unless you're talking about FFXIII, and I wouldn't play them, either.

Gotta do what you gotta do.

It's either that or my group dies. Can't lose any more people. I visited the house and got some good supplies. I even came back a few days later for more. Was tough but I had to do it for meds and food.

Not sure how randomised the game is so I'll try to limit details.

The biggest surprise for me was how brutal it is when a group member dies. The animations aren't out of this world but they work really well.

No.
