why is the steamtrades site so slow? ;_;

 

[Lain]

So I should expect Steam to start offering playfire rewards that turn into markeplace credit and 20-25% off anything vouchers on a regular basis too, right?

I'd actually liken cards money to playfire rewards, in a roundabout way.
And speaking of playfire and thus GMG, wasn't Styx supposed to pop up on sale there like today or something? Because I have store credit to use and I wouldn't mind using it on that.

Monday is price mistakes day

 

[Snakethesniper]

Should I buy anno 1404? I saw a lot of people are praising it

[Shadownet]

I swore I thought I have Legend of Grimrock in my library.. Where did it go? o.0

I was thinking about trying it out.. It was in a bundle not too long ago..

 

[JaseC]

I already tweeted @Ubisoft and @UbisoftUK (with very little hope) to try to get Dawn of Discovery price with 75% discount - I really want to get into the series, but I'm not sure I'll enjoy it, so I don't want to buy 2070. Dawn of Discovery would be MUCH cheaper if it got a 75% discount as well in the Brazilian Store.

Buying it from the UK Store for 75% would make it pretty much the same price as it is with 40% in the Brazilian Store.

...but I really doubt anything will come out of it.

Yeah, being the weekend I don't like the chances. There's are a couple of Ubi devs who are reasonably active on the AssCreed Unity and Far Cry 4 Steam Community hubs; you could try adding them.

 

[Salsa]

wait like literally days and there'll be winter sales dude

 

[Knurek]

The Settlers 2 is still the best game Blue Byte made.
But Anno 1404 is close second.

 

[Parsnip]

So, uh, if they obtained just around what they asked for in their KS (what it was, 400K $?), they would have had enough money to employ 5 people for 6 months and some spare to pay the rent and send out a dozen of backer rewards?

I mean, I'm not able to estimate what something like this would cost in Italy, so of course I cannot talk about San Francisco, but still. Something, somewhere, somehow, is wrong.

SF is super expensive place to live in.

But yeah, the original pitch would have been for a 10 room flash game, basically.

Over a six-to-eight month period, a small team under Tim Schafer's supervision will develop Double Fine's next game, a classic point-and-click adventure. Where it goes from there will unfold in real time for all the backers to see.

A bit longer than 6 to 8 month period, hehe. The pitch video is kind of amusing to look at now as well.
"Whether it goes well or whether it all goes to hell, we're gonna show everything."
"Either the game will be great, or it will be a spectacular failure, caught on camera for everyone to see. Either way, you win. What could possibly go wrong."

 

[Lomax]

It's sad how tempted I am to double dip on Witcher 2 at $3. Must resist!

 

[Knurek]

Oh wow, did not expect that...

 

[someguyinahat]

there are not many better ways to spend $5 that fallout new vegas goty

basically everyone i know has it but if you don't go go go

I don't have it.

I have the vanilla version and that's it.

 

[tmarg]

I gave it to you. I have no idea if you redeemed it.

 

[freshVeggie]

Hi folks.
Any games you absolutely recommend or price mistakes happen?
-

I really would have wanted Dawn of Discovery if it was at that price. Ubisoft pls.
I guess it'll be only Octodad for me.

You changed your name! But that avi gave you away
-

No silly what I'm saying is that you can buy Dragon Age: Origins vanilla and Dragon Age: Origins Ultimate and have two versions in your account. What I was pointing out to NingenJanai was that while they own the Ultimate edition but not the vanilla version that the deals page, because it has the vanilla version as the spotlight it doesn't show up as owned.
To further compound the craziness I was also mentioning what EA even do on their own store, Origin (not Origins hehehe), which you'd have thought they would take a bit more care of...
Which you can see Dragon Age: Origins Digital Deluxe despite having less content than the Ultimate edition is actually £2.50 more.

Is that why you have two versions of DA:I? I would have thought getting the deluxe after vanilla would just make the vanilla version "become" deluxe. Do both versions use the same save file?
-

Also, I am disappoint, GAF
Why did nobody tell me you should leave at least 25% of your SSD space free for optimal read/write speeds?
I've been doing it wrong for the last year...

Wow, that looks like crucial info. Good to know.
-

Sorta OT, but this is too cool not to mention, Super Wolfenstein 3D, it's a "realistic" take on Wolf 3D with some really dumb physics.
http://gamejolt.com/games/shooter/super-wolfenstein-hd-now-with-realistic-physics/39194/
http://giant.gfycat.com/MixedSpotlessBluefish.gif

And it's a free game to download as well! Great.

 

[Turfster]

Oh wow, did not expect that...

I can almost maybe kinda sort of have a vague inkling of what that says!

 

[tebunker]

You can still get the Deluxe version of Might and Magic X - Legacy at wingamestore.com for $6 right now

WAT? IS that a legit site? I mean. Are they just a key reseller?

 

[Shadownet]

Oh wow, did not expect that...

You blanked out the name? Was it Gaben?

It's sad how tempted I am to double dip on Witcher 2 at $3. Must resist!

DO IT! DO IT!

I gave it to you. I have no idea if you redeemed it.

Hmmm I probably didn't then. But Turf just gave me his spare. at blinding speed too at that.
If you still have a spare that I didn't redeem. I'm sure someone else would enjoy it. From what I've heard, it's a great game.

 

[freshVeggie]

Enjoy this Civ V addon?

 

[arts&crafts]

Whats the cheapest place for Wolfenstein this holiday seasonÉ

 

[Chariot]

Oh wow, did not expect that...

I didn't think that you were east europaen

 

[Shadownet]

Well it was on sale on Steam for like $20 like yesterday but it's up to $25 now. But if you're willing to wait. I'm sure it will be $20 or maybe even lower during Winter Sale. That's what I'm doing.

Yea $20 is too steep since games that came out last week are already down to like 50% off. Also I am in no rush as I have a backlog of 1500 games

 

[zkylon]

[Knurek]

I'm not. Poland's in central Europe.

Never saw it like that. For us germans everything west of us is west europe and every thing east east europe. We are both west and east and the center of both the world and europe.

Look above.

 

[Turfster]

... and that's 20 deaths for this one fight.
(╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻
I didn't even die this many times on the boss fights before this.

lol dat moment when you realise people think you're an Eastern European.

Only to realise that Poland is considered E. Europe.

Deutschland über alles!

 

[Shadownet]

[ExoSoul]

For us Portuguese everything past Italy/Greece is Eastern Euro

Spoiler

[ViviOggi]

So Tages got removed from Anno 1404? Tempting...

 

[Xanathus]

Just wake up.

Get on Steam to check out deals.

See this.

Pick up Black Ops 2 Deluxe edition instead, it's supposedly better AND you get COD: World at War.

 

[JaseC]

So Tages got removed from Anno 1404? Tempting...

It's entirely DRM-free as a result. No TAGES. No Uplay. No CEG ("Steam DRM").

 

[NingenJanai]

So Tages got removed from Anno 1404? Tempting...

It says it has tages on the store page for me, has it been really removed?

 

[Pachimari]

I can't decide on either Alien Isolation, Call of Duty: Black Ops II or South Park.

 

[kris.]

Pick up Black Ops 2 Deluxe edition instead, it's supposedly better AND you get COD: World at War.

Oh no, I'm not buying any of them. I'm just surprised as hell that Activision decided to finally concede and put their games up for that low of a price.

 

[zkylon]

i see that map and all i can think of is gallia and europa

I already have it dear, and loving it.

proud of you hun'

 

[ExoSoul]

I can't decide on either Alien Isolation, Call of Duty: Black Ops II or South Park.

I'd go with Alien

 

[JaseC]

Yes. Ubi finally patched the Steam versions of Anno 1404/Dawn of Discovery and the Venice expansion at the beginning of the year, following ~three years of nothingness.

 

[Kurt Russell]

South Park is really good, just saying.

 

[NingenJanai]

Yes. Ubi finally patched the Steam versions of Anno 1404/Dawn of Discovery and the Venice expansion at the beginning of the year, following ~three years of nothingness.

Thanks, weird they haven't updated the store page, they might loose sales since it still says Tages.

 

[ViviOggi]

It's entirely DRM-free as a result. No TAGES. No Uplay. No CEG ("Steam DRM").

Sold

Also great to see even 3 years on after dropping Dragon Age II that it's still the mind boggling performance hog that I left it at.

 

[Mr. Luchador]

I had to pay rent, and my dog/cat (whichever you have an emotional affinity for) had to eat food, and basically there's so many games I'll miss out on.
