So, is there any way to buy DLC without the game? I want to buy some tracks from the original Rocksmith to play in V2014 but Steam won't let me buy them without the original.

Nevermind my post, I read it incorrectly.

There's a whole lot of bullshit you gotta do to play the old songs on the new game.

Least of which you need to own both games, and then you have to buy a 10 dollar conversion module from UIbisoft that can make the older versions compatible with Rocksmith 2014.

 

[Jintor]

Deus Ex GOTY is pretty cheap now at 1.74€. I know a lot of people love it, but is it really as playable today? I remember trying it out some years ago, and I remember how sluggish I found it. The character seemed to move so slowly. Maybe you can upgrade your speed or something later in the game? I really want to like it.

It's absolutely playable today.

I think you can get speed boosts, but by the time you can get them you probably don't really want 'em cos you're used to playing stealthy-like

 

[NEO0MJ]

Buy them as a gift and keep them in your inventory? I think it works.

Maybe I should try this with one song and see if it works.

I thought you only had to buy that to transfer songs from the original game, not the DLC ones? If true hat sucks.

Didn't think we could buy from nuuvem anymore. Is the region lock strictly for gifting?

I bought The Banner Saga off Nuuvem yesterday and everything works just fine. (I'm from EU.)

And this sold me....buying it at the current price.

One of my best experiences with tactical games was spending well over an hour setting up a lengthy and systematic tactical sweep of a facility in R6. I took the role of a sniper on a nearby vantage point, and laid out tons of waypoints for three separate teams, all choreographed carefully, having teams move stealthily to get into various positions, entering rooms from opposite doors, clearing one area then setting up to cover another team who would be sweeping nearby...just tons of stuff that was rather tricky to arrange in the game's system.
Then we went into the mission....

turns out all the interior walls were glass.

One of the greatest total failures I've ever enjoyed.

You are gonna love this game, love it. It's basically a fully refined version of the waypoint tactical planning system from Rainbow Six man, top down rts with pause style but there's direct control through the mouse where you "paint" paths, actions, and you can change direction(or have them strafe move, flash bang and clear rooms, set up breaching charges, use Door busters, etc) or have guys cover dudes(a lot of the time they'll do it automatically).

I spent 45+ minutes preplanning all my units movements and actions on the Cartel Beach level in Door Kickers only to watch half my squad get killed on the beach and then as soon as my other squad breached they ran into 4 guys with Mac 10s and they tore them to shreds.

BTW, I discovered you can edit the names/portraits/nicknames for your soldiers just like in Xcom! Man this fucking game!

The movement system is extremely detailed, you can basically paint out an entire tactical plan, press play and the game will run your plan.

Success varies obviously, as this game doesn't fuck around at all. It's the real deal and anyone craving old tactical simulation shooter games like Delta Force or Rainbow Six will absolutely love this title.

 

[mrklaw]

All of these still have the potential to drop further, right?

Door kickers (40%), South park (40%), spintires (33%), blaze rush (25%)

 

[Embearded]

This beggar just messaged me on Steam, saying that he is from Algeria and that it's hard there to get a credit card, so he wanted me to gift him a game. He says he got his 157 games buy begging.....
Anyone from Algeria who can confirm his story?

P.S: his profile says he is from GB...

He's just a scam artist, you already gave him way too much of your time.

157 games and begging strangers for more..instant block for me.

Yup, it seems you are correct. How dare he uses Snake as avatar...

Definitely a scam. They are getting creative. :d

Hope there will at least be a 33% discount for the new Lara Croft. Prolly also gonna buy a new copy of CS:GO.

After looking it up akira28 is right, it won't work. Maybe I'll just buy it all.

 

[Mhmmm 2077]

Do you think Yaiba: Ninja Gaiden Z is worth the price? -66% right now.

 

[TheDarkKnight774]

During Steam sale: Can you see Alien Isolation dropping lower than the £12.80 that the game is selling for on GMG (includes 20% off code)?

No. It feels like it's being setup for a 50% off daily

 

[velociraptor]

What is the consensus on Borderlands Pre-Sequel?

It does bother me how many games have DLC which outprices the main game too. £25 for a season pass? lolwut

 

[Tizoc]

Do you think Yaiba: Ninja Gaiden Z is worth the price? -66% right now.

It is corrosivefist's GotY contender, but I'd recommend waiting to see if it goes up as a daily or flash.
It's a good short Musou-like game. Combat system is simple, but lord if enemies aren't brutal on higher difficulties lol.
Oh and it runs at 60 FPS too.

 

[Embearded]

Got MGR:R, Borderland 2 GOTY and Hammerwatch! Plus MGS:GZ 2 days ago and that's it for me!

 

[Danielsan]

Have to say I'm pretty happy with the sale being disappointing thus far. At least I'm saving money and not expanding my backlog to an even crazier size. I've only picked up The Fall (in the auction) and Metal Gear Rising for now.

Wow. No shame.

 

[Madouu]

Dz is for djazayr so yes he is probably Algerian (also from his English). Not necessarily a scam artist, maybe just some young kid that wants games. I can confirm that it's pretty hard to get credit cards there, I grew up in Morocco and it's pretty similar.

Could be a scammer too so just ignore him to stay on the safe side of things. Or maybe tell him to "koune te7chem chwia", he'll understand.

Scammer or "honest" beggar, what's the difference really.

Thanks for the heads up. Will avoid it like the plague.

If I had said 'a well regarded member of SteamGAF likes it', would you had considered getting it? :V

It isn't a bad game at all, it's not typical NG fare, but if you want a short action game with colorful presentation, this is one to check out.

 

[CyanideFuse]

No. It feels like it's being setup for a 50% off daily

Yeah, I thought as much. A 66% or 75% sale seems too hopeful at this stage.

 

[AndyMoogle]

I seriously doubt it will be more than 50% off on Steam during this sale, so no.

 

[toddhunter]

That really needs to be the quote on the box

 

[DeSo]

Gang Beasts please go on sale. That game looks so fun but $20 is steep.

Yes it's playable! You're right it's a bit slow, but that comes down it it mostly being a stealth game. And yes you can upgrade your speed to the point where you're way faster than regular FPSes.

-15% for USF4 upgrade. That's like capcom tries to say Don't buy, it still sucks.

[Shaneus]

Didn't see much of a mention here, but Hammerwatch is $1.50 today (for another 18 hours or so). I can only comment on the beta, but that in itself was worth at least $1.50. Great little (classic) Gauntlet-esque title!

 

[SpongeBob NoPants]

All of these still have the potential to drop further, right?

Door kickers (40%), South park (40%), spintires (33%), blaze rush (25%)

I'm doubtful about the rest, but Spintires was much cheaper during the Thanskgiving sale, so that seems likely to drop further.


Edit: Spintures was 66% off (i.e. $10.19 / €8.49 / £6.79) on the 27th of November.

corrosivefrost is a well regarded member! he is awesome! anyone who thinks otherwise is going into my personal enemy list.

 

[derExperte]

Put me on that list then, he's my gaming-contraindication. Also Yaiba seems to have serious crashing issues, see Steam forum. I might give it a try when it goes down further but no chance for its current price.

 

[JakeD]

So even if Spider-Man 2 is a daily, it wont be discounted more than 55% anyway correct? Only way it could be lower is if it went up for a vote again and won (which won't happen.) This new community vote system has me a bit confused.

 

[Out_Of_Ammo]

I was waiting for MGR to drop to €5 before I would double dip. 4€ is even better. I also bought 2 extra copies to gift to some friends.

 

[Tizoc]

Yaiba never crashed on my laptop >_>;
...and this is one that can run Mordor at High Settings with 30 FPS lock really well.

 

[Durante]

That's a very civilized way of saying that he has terrible taste

Nah, if it gets a daily it will have the discount it would have if it won the vote. Wouldn't really make sense any other way.

 

[Finalow]

Here's a pretty game to consider:
-
It's called Amphora and it's -15% off, it just released in November.

now that's really pretty. I might get it.

 

[pahamrick]

I won Yaiba from a raffle by Frosty. I think the only time it crashed was when I ALT+TABBED to check something, Yaiba was good fun.

 

[Polishin8r]

[Manik]

Doorkickers has already been in a flash sale, I believe, for 50% off, so doubt it'll fall any lower than that.

 

[fenners]

Door kicker is definitely tempting... Just /how/ hardcore is it? Fail/retry a lot to pass missions?

 

[shaowebb]

Been browsing the catalog to see if there were games I hadn't heard of that were any good on sale. Found one that is amazing if you are a fan of Megaman, Cave Story and Super Metroid.

Rex Rocket

currently $6.99 and worth full price IMO. Platforming is a mix of Cave Story and Super Metroid and a lot of Megaman inspired boss fights and Megaman X robot mech stuff is in this. And the soundtrack is pure chiptune joy.

 

[Freezard]

Nothing for me yet. Just buying games on my wishlist nowadays and the only well discounted game is Duke Nukem Forever but it's pretty expensive despite 82% off (and it was the same during the fall sale >_>).
