Mordor is like almost 43 gigs

Recommends 25GB free - minimum, that is. LOL.

I've seen 35-40 gigs tossed around for Mordor. It's a shame that keys off the market are locked now, I got Banished a few days ago for 2 TF2 keys.

Ouch. I passed on it because of this, but I was kinda hoping that the actual download would be smaller (because of it sharing programs or whatnot that are needed to be downloaded with other downloaded games) so that I can buy it. With my 300GB cap, anything more than 25GB is a no-no.

 

[Zombine]

One hour until I'm safe from buying Borderlands PRE sequel.

Lol you say that like you won't be tempted by the 75% off sale it gets near the end of the event.

 

[chaosblade]

That was preorder only.

Many times these deals tend to go over 100% (because it's adding discount together ie. 50% + 50% = 100% instead of 75%.) and gets disabled during sale.
New discounts also tends to be temporary instead of permanent.

There's couple of stackers:

http://store.steampowered.com/app/315340/ is 83% if you own regular Ares, instead of 33%.

http://store.steampowered.com/app/260790/ is 66% if you own Cavestory+ / Nighsky instead of 33%

(http://store.steampowered.com/app/239430/ is 110% (unpurchaseable) if you own regular QUBE.)

Yeah, I wouldn't expect 50+50% off rather than 75% off. Also didn't realize that was preorder only. Oh well. Maybe next time it will be 66-75% off and I'll be more tempted to pick it up.

 

[MUnited83]

any of the might and magic games worth picking up?

how's dark messiah?

Dark Messiah is one of the games with best combat ever made.

Except Ethan carter actually has gameplay and isn't some art project.

If it goes to 75 I could justify it. Is this a thing that's going to happen?

Yes.

You're probably right about that. I just don't see it being worth what they're asking for it right now. 2K won't budge which is incredibly annoying.

 

[elementalsin]

Anyone have any thoughts or opinions on Anna? It has been on my list for awhile but I just keep skipping over it for some reason.

 

[kennah]

Yes.

I guess I can wait. Still have a shitload of unplayed dlc from bl2

 

[TerryLee81]

Adventure game with beautiful graphics and atmosphere, but very short. Probably worth the 11.99

That's the one with the hidden

My god, that's brilliant... Are there graphic mods for the game now?

 

[Manik]

I am big fan of Might and Magic VI, but I am a fanboy of the whole series so a biased opinion for sure.

Well Steam crashed... was in the process of paying for a few games. Anyone else down?

It gets played a fair bit in the steam thread.

Ahh, that would explain it - thanks!

 

[Watevaman]

My god, that's brilliant... Are there graphic mods for the game now?

I looked a year or two back when I did a new playthrough and I couldn't find anything except some terrible ENB that increased the contrast and made it look pretty bad.

To be honest, the game still looks pretty good for how old it is. Yeah, stuff is blocky, but the texture work is good.

 

[pahamrick]

Dark Messiah is one of the games with best combat ever made.

I always forget that it was developed by Arkane Studios (Dishonored). Such a gem that more people should play.

Watched some videos on the storepage, it looks awesome. But I guess it doesn't have controller support?

Hmmm has dishonered gone on sale

You almost got me with those gifs.
I may grab it next sale.

 

[pahamrick]

Not yet for the Winter Sale. It did go on sale for the Summer Sale. I got the GOTY version then for around $10 since the DLC almost never goes on sale for a decent price. I think buying the DLC separate was more expensive than just buying the GOTY.

 

[XChainfireX]

Yupppp. I got our site to put it in as top ten. It's my GOTY, but nobody else heard of it, so I felt getting it on the list was a victory.

Only 70 score on metacritic, apparently it is filled with bugs :S

 

[jholmes]

http://store.steampowered.com/app/260790/ is 66% if you own Cavestory+ / Nighsky instead of 33%

Just taking this opportunity to say 1001 Spikes is amazing and if you like tough games I recommend it very highly.

You sir and your gifs have just sold me on this game. Thanks!

I have a good feeling about the next set of dailies.

...it isn't?

 

[Visualante2]

Played a bunch more OlliOlli and have a hard time recommending it. Feels like it has more in common with Bit trip runner than Tony Hawks at times. Plus it just has some weird bugs. I grinded a set of steps. Seems like the sequel remedies a bunch of my complaints so hopefully it will be a lot better. The level design in the last two regions is just trash. It also seems to lock away half the content until you complete the levels you might not enjoy.

 

[Darth Kupi]

Every year I load up on multiplayer games for a big birthday gaming weekend my brother and I throw with a bunch of guys in January. Im looking for preferably coop, 4 player games.

What say you Gaf?

Mashed.

Thank me later.

 

[Iadien]

I'm safe, again. woo Skyrim DLC still not more than 50% off. sigh

 

[DylanTackoor]

Meh, I'll pass on today's sales

 

[MadClacker]

Obligatory "is it worth it?" - Shadow Warrior

 

[~Kinggi~]

Obligatory "is it worth it?" - Shadow Warrior

Uh yes.


Obligatory, Is never Alone any good?

 

[73V3N]

Why is AoE3 not 75% off :'(

 

[soapypanda]

Sales have been laaaame.

 

[DukeBobby]

Buy Alien, guys.

Do it because I say so.

 

[MadClacker]

I already own it, but I'm kinda surprised Alien: Isolation isn't any cheaper. Might pick up Shadow Warrior.

EDIT:

Shadow Warrior was just saying $9.99, now it's showing $3.99!

Alien was showing 25% off, now it's showing 50%.

 

[Vamphuntr]

Terrible deals again. eeeew

 

[Bl@de]

Obligatory "is it worth it?" - Shadow Warrior

Nothing special but a good fps for this price. Then again ... There are no more special fps so it's as good as any "run-from-one-shootout-arena-to-another" fps.

 

[Deadly]

Has anyone been playing Grim Dawn? I've been keeping an eye on it every sale since I hear it's good but it seems to still be in very early stages.

 

[Ladekabel]

Seems like Gaben doesn't want my money anymore.

 

[Watevaman]

Why the fuck is the Skyrim DLC never 75% off? I don't want to buy the Legendary edition for 2 of the DLCs.

 

[tringworldso]

Revelations is a much better game. It doesn't have an eight hour tutorial, with cutscenes a that teleport you around the open world, instead of trusting you enough to navigate it yourself. Also no boats which is a huge plus. I don't understand the negativity toward Revelations at all, especially after 3 came out. Revelations at least plays like an Assassins Creed game.

Many people prefer Brotherhood but for me Revelations is still the best AC game mainly because it has zero filler and all it's missions have a lot of variety in them. Plus doing missions with your assassin recruits was a lot of fun. Didn't hurt that it had the maximum amount of character centric moments for Ezio and Altair.

 

[Tizoc]

Uh yes.


Obligatory, Is never Alone any good?

To me it is 2D 'Brothers: A tale of two sons' set in the north pole. Simple game but should be fulfilling for $10.

 

[billmcdougal]

You sir and your gifs have just sold me on this game. Thanks!

Same here, first gif.

 

[Emerson]

Pretty rough set of deals there.

 

[SolarPowered]

Steam needs to give fighting games some front page love. There is more to the genre than Injustice, Gaben.

 

[dreamfall]

Bound by Flame- is it worth $10?

 

[WinterDemons]

Why the fuck is the Skyrim DLC never 75% off? I don't want to buy the Legendary edition for 2 of the DLCs.

Apparently Amazon has it for 75% off.

Amazon has Skyrim DLCs 75% off, Dawnguard and Dragonborn for 5 dollars each and Hearthfire for 2.50.

 

[Momentary]

Grim Dawn looks really good.
