Did Volgarr never go on sale besides the standard half off or whatever?

 

[Backlogger]

Anyone know what the story is with the Amazon sale and the $5 codes you got if you bought a digital game over xmas? Do we just wait for the codes in an email?

This link may be helpful

http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html/?docId=1000728511&?tag=electronicfro-20

Edit: Actually I lied, it appears the list of eligible games isn't on that page anymore... (or maybe it was never there but will be tomorrow?)

 

[Syphon Filter]

which one are you missing?

card 2

Thanks WisK for Mark of the ninja!

Did Valve used to get rid most of the sales on the last day or is this new? I was waiting for the last day of the sale to pick up some DLC but now it's not even on sale anymore and back to full price.

 

[Panda Rin]

$45 good price?

I bought it for $35 a few days ago from Amazon. Price is pushed back up to $45 now. If you're a fan, I think it would be worth it. The game will probably be below $30 pretty soon though. I'm a huge fan of the AC series, so I would have picked it up regardless.

I played Metro 2033 and loved it to death. The more scary parts really got to me though, is Last Light even worse in that aspect or about the same? Im afraid I wont be able to finish the game if it becomes a true horror FPS in later levels.

you could always save the html page, or dig around the page to find the script running the snow.

I did think to check the page source, but saw that each piece of snow has its own code written for it.
It didn't even cross my mind to just save the html page, that did the trick!

Enjoy!

Thanks for Overlord and Overlord Raising Hell!

It was up for a community choice but unjustly got beaten by some inferior title. The poor tastes of the majority of voters is shocking.

Hello all. I hope the final day of sale has been productive, or at least enjoyable as you look over all the games you gotten. I know I have several I can't wait to play, though for now I must settle for what this laptop can play like Bleed, a surprisingly good high score chasing side-scroller that combines platforming with twin stick shooting in a humorous package.

Also as a bit of bragging, please excuse it as it's from happiness, I finally got a background I wanted. http://steamcommunity.com/id/kenofthedead/

I just played a little bit of Bleed not two hours ago and I'm really enjoying it so far. The controls take some getting used to, as side scrolling shooter types usually play a certain way I have to rewire my brain to get accustom to the scheme of jumping with a shoulder button while using the stick to aim and shoot simultaneously -- all while not thinking that the trigger is the shoot button and hopping around madly for no reason.

For some reason I had it in my head when I was picking up Contra: Shattered Soldier like a decade ago that they'd have a similar shooting setup, with analog aiming as use of dual sticks was taking off in a big way. I was kind of disappointed at first that they stuck with a standard control scheme, but at the same time there was nothing to base my expectation off of other than just thinking it would be way better. Fast forward to now and I'm pretty happy to see a game play like I imagined, even if Bleed wasn't the first one to do it like this it does feel great. Tried a couple of the levels on normal then hard and was satisfied to see how it mixes it up.

Also in that SHODN background, the house gets cut off on the left side and just disappears for the remaining few pixels before the edge. You'll never unsee that.

Unfortunately not on the Steam sale itself, but it was given a daily special on the Humble Store.

Not the greatest games but someone may want to up their steam count.

Thanks for And Yet It Moves.

 

[Triggaaar]

I'll take 3 and 10 if no one else wants them. My steamID is Naka82. Not sure what you need from me as I've never done this card trading stuff but I really want to complete the snow globes, haha.

See my previous post, click on my profile, add me as a friend, send me a msg or something, I'll send the globes over

I had been voting pretty regularity for the community votes on my phone and it said I was up to 5 cards. However when I loaded up steam they are nowhere to be found, any ideas?

[SmashN'Grab]

I haven't bought anything yet this sale, but I think I'll splash out €3.50 for Counter-Strike: Global Offensive and another €2.50 for the Civilization V upgrade to Gold Edition, which includes the first expansion (Gods & Kings).

Brave New World is still too pricey right now at €10, so will leave it 'til next time.

Anyone know if there'll be a further expansion after that?

Are you level 5 or more?

[Leatherface]

well many people were praising it for how good it was, I loved the original but never played the 2nd. After jumping on the hype train and getting it I really didn't see what was so special about it. I'm sure you and many others will disagree but I do feel metro is the better shooter here



I played it on a 680 and it ran great on max settings 1080p, not sure if that helps you though

I have an I7, 16gb of ram, and SLI 560ti's (which seems to run things very well so far.maybe not as well as a 680 but pretty damn good from what I can tell).

I believe BNW is the last.

Guys, just a heads up, the indiegala codemasters is 50% off on its last day on sale, so you get all the games for 2,99, pretty nice deal. Here.

 

[Leatherface]

The original 2033 is still being lauded as one of the most unoptimized games. Last Light goes a long way to fix those issues.

XCOM got me into the strategy genre, so don't be afraid to dive into that one. Both choices are quite excellent.



They are still there

Leaning toward XCOM simply because it offers something different from what I have right now. Damn why must I be so indecisive?!!! Haha. I need to watch videos and stew on this a bit.

 

[SniperNLN]

Want to trade Holiday cards. I need #1 and #7. Can exchange for #2, #5 or #6. Steam coordinates is in the profile.

Go for XCOM! But I am biased towards strategy RPG

A 50% off Crusader Kings II ticket appeared on my inventory, if anyone wants it, just ask for it.

That depends on your PC. The PC version has many graphical features the PS4 version doesn't have.

 

[DOA]

so which bargain bin games do you recommend? which games that are under the radar and have a great discount?

The PC version also is terribly optimized.

A little mod for FF7, just 1.8 GB for the graphics and like 400 MB for the music and sound...and easy to install without all the Bootlog shit, i want to hold some nostalgia, i guess is a good combination and....is not 19 GB like the other...

 

[dinosaur_hunter2]

Don't get AC4 on PC. It is an unoptimized mess.

Fuck, really? I had the opportunity to get it for the Xbox One and waited for the PC version to become cheaper thinking it would be the best version. Damn it!

Are Batman: Arkham Origins and Metro: Last Light worth it? I never played the first Metro game.
