First xmas sale where I might not buy much.


I would be nice if Activison had a sale on some of the older COD games.

I want to play World At War

 

[Casimir]

Brazil right?

In his case Uruguay. But the results are the same as being in Brazil.

Is the hidden gems thread up yet?

 

[Gaz Pwnage]

This thread isn't moving as fast as the previous ones. Any reason why?

 

[darkchewie]

Thinking about getting Kane & Lynch, does it hold up well compared to similar crime-related third person shooters (maybe like a payday or hitman)? Only $1.74 so it's probably worth a try.

No event, only one vote per day, nothing that generates "new news" and by this point, steam sales are old hat now.

 

[Grief.exe]

Thanks, seems consistent with what I've been reading, unfortunately. I may just opt to get the HD collection instead, it's not that much more expensive.

DMC3 ran perfectly for me, even patched in some xinput support.

There are some problems, but the majority of them are fixable with a bit of research.

I was running the game at 1440p/60 with a 560 ti and a 360 cobtroller. No crashes, dips, or slowdowns.

everybody owns everything already, I'm hesitant to make any impulse buys that aren't on my wishlist

 

[Alaskanbullworm]

Got MGSR and Speedrunners. Definitely wanted to get those two and I was hoping they would have good sales. And what do you know, very first day.

Dark Souls 2 was tempting, but I'll wait for the new version to come out

Sales sucked today.

Top of the current page? Internet speed stats.

I think you are correct

Does the remaster has all the dlc? Is it essentially a "complete" version or will more dlc come out for the remaster itself.

Yes, the remaster will include all dlc + some new contend.

Very Exciting! Join the forums for additional details and discussions on Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin at FextraLife

Details translated from a famitsu interview by Tanimaru:

- New NPC-related events

- A new NPC that will act as a narrator or guide. The NPC will be providing more story elements, and has an unusual form:

http://i.imgur.com/HZHLJB8.jpg

This NPC has a lot of knowledge of Drangleic, and will lead players "somewhere they’ve never been before". This NPC ties in to the subtitle of this release (Scholar of the First Flame). Tanimura mentions that we'll have to play for ourselves to find out more about this.

- There will be some revisions to the item descriptions. Supposedly, Tanimura mentioned: "Rather than make everything easy to understand or reveal the whole truth, our approach is more like dropping a few more hints that will spur the imagination of players". This means the item descriptions will still keep the same level of ambiguity as before.

Things related to multiplayer (not sure if these are for all versions, this remains to be seen):

- They're planning to make it so that players in NG will be able to connect to players in NG+ and beyond. Also they plan to "relax" the matchmaking requirements and "break down the barriers" by allowing players to self-adjust their total accumulated souls.

- The game will same level of detail that is available in the current Windows version (No word on the Windows DirectX 11 version yet).

- Tanimura gives an example of an area that will have its number of enemies increased. There will be more spiders in Brightstone Cove Tseldora:

I felt stupid not buying Revengeance even though it's also stupid to buy it because it'd fry my current PC. Thanks for making me feel stupid, Steam. Can't wait to play it by mid 2015!

 

[yellow submarine]

Is state of decay worth it? What about the expansions?

 

[HalfwayOrb]

State of Decay was fun I thought. Only played it for a hour or so tho.

 

[GuardianE]

Also, does anyone know if the mod that let you switch styles in DMC3 on the fly ever got working properly?

Yeah, it's been refined and there have been a ton of improvements to it, but it's still a bit buggy from what I understand. YMMV

This thread isn't moving as fast as the previous ones. Any reason why?

I bought almost everything I wanted using various gem->booster/card->cash->gem recycling schemes during the auction. It will be interesting to see if some devs report having the auction so close to the sale cannibalised their sales.

[famfrit]

Yeah, I bit on it. I may even install and play it. Crazy, I know.

yea the developer said they won't discount it during winter sale which is strange because I seem to remember it going down to $9.99 a while ago

Oh no, I already own it! Thanks, though! Did you want to re-raffle, or how does this work?

Do with it as you please!

 

[mannerbot]

Maybe you're thinking of Russian trader prices because it's never been on sale.

Revengeance for the blue team!!

 

[~Kinggi~]

MGS GZ is a heck of a good port. Konami is on the right track. Kojima dont fuck around.

I wonder if Im safe. I should buy something and try gifting it to someone on US.

You probably voted for the community choice.
It gives 1 card every time you vote.

It's a dead heat in the race, neither Red nor Blue team have been able to get ahead though. The two elves watching are very excited about it however.

 

[BY2K]

Why the fuck is Flight Simulator X unavailable in Canada?

EDIT: Nevermind,it's back.

 

[donny2112]

Kerbal is 25% off, which means it'll be 40% off again for its flash/daily sale. :/ Will my dream of sub-$10 Kerbal be forever unrealized?!?

 

[Ibuki]

I already got Manhunt, Max Payne 1 and 2, Postal, and Don't Starve Together. I need to lock down my wallet.

 

[BassForever]

So JRPG guys who known the Steam Library better then I do any JRPGs I should keep an eye out for if they go on sale? I already have Trails, the Ys games, Last Remnant, and most of the Genesis JRPGs like the Shining Force games. I know of the FF games which I'll double dip if they get marked down really low. Any other suggestions would be great

yea maybe I saw it that price in the buy/sell thread, guess the game is too good for a steam sale once the awards started rolling in for it

 

[Kinsei]

Does this thread count for the 5 posts or more for the raffles, or just the community thread?

 

[RoyaleDuke]

Traded in Smash and bought a couple steam gift cards, bought MGSV:GZ and Rome 2 Total War EE.

Still have 11 bucks left so we'll see what happens during the sale, hopefully south park drops low enough for me to buy it because I really want that.

 

[Jay RaR]

Damn, oh well. I'll buy it on 3DS around Christmastime then.
