Same.
Not that I want to buy it. I just want other people to do so.
Played it at a friend's place and it's worth the experience.

That's partly my reason too. I never played it though and was meaning to for a long time, but didn't get the chance.

Also, GTAIV is cheap on Amazon lol.

 

[fluffydelusions]

They drop far less frequently than regular cards. That's literally all it is.

Ah ok so it is just a rare drop... Gotcha thx

 

[STAB-Gatekeeper]

I'm wondering if my i7 makes up for TresFX? I was thinking it was GPU bound. I also read about Nvidia cards initially being a problem. Obviously there are patches now. I've had no problem holding around 50-60hz with my i7 and 660 Ti @ 1080p on ultimate.

Hmmm maybe, it does seem like something the CPU would calculate, I have a i5 3570K. So it might have bottlenecked. I have found Physx games to kill framerate, but I think thats mainly because ATI cards have a hard time with it.

Edit: Nevermind, saw JaseC's post, might have to update my graphics drivers and see if it fixes it.

Yep, just rare cards with a different border.

Same here, don't want the game, but know that GAF has a hard on for it, so voted to help others out.

 

[inm8num2]

In order to get the Civ V upgrade do you just need to own Civ V base? $5 for all those DLC + Gods and Kings seems like a great deal.

 

[YianGaruga]

Do we know what the drop rate is? I'm at ~150 cards or something (maybe a bit less), and still haven't seen a single one.

 

[intheinbetween]

Anyone got any trading card purchase tips?

Every time I spot a summer trading cost going at a low-ish price, the moment I try and buy it, someone has already bought it.

I realise that this is a busy time, and that it's going to be hard to buy cards, but there has to be a way to get these quicker than I am. Are there any cool tips or methods to doing this? Disabling images perhaps?

the fast and the furious.. it's all about luck, speed, and overall.. F5!!!

 

[Delusibeta]

Someone explain what a foil card is and why they are so much on market? I'm too lazy to look on slow mobile Internet lol

Special cards. Very rare, hence worth more.

 

[Zuhzuhzombie!!]

This has probably been asked a million times already, but this thread is massive. Since Civ5 is a flash deal, Brave New World probably isn't going to go cheaper, is it?

BNW is on sale for 20 bucks. YOu can get the whole shebang for 30. Probably as cheap as it's gonna get this year.

 

[Chairmanchuck]

Yup. I would say 80% of my steam games were bought off GMG, GG, Amazon and indie bundle sites.

There is absolutely no reason to not buy steam games from other sites if they have them cheaper. I can understand not wanting to buy games that don't activate if you want all your games on 1 client but even if you buy stuff off like GOG or DRM free you can always add them to your steam via non-steam product and launch them through steam.

Yeah. Thats why I dont really understand why people in this thread disregard other sales and exclusively buy games during steam-sales.

 

[PixyJunket]

Opinions on "They Bleed Pixels"?

Crummy.

You don't need to own the base game.

 

[Petrie]

If anybody is interested in Metro I'd rather have something else, so make me an offer!

[Ifrit]

Bought Scribblenauts and Duke 3D

 

[Zuhzuhzombie!!]

Yes.


Do it. BNW makes Civ V unquestionably better than Civ IV.

 

[Freezard]

Does anyone know if the new cards will still be around after the sale ends? More importantly, will you be able to craft the summer badge?

 

[More_Badass]

I didn't realize Scribblenauts Unlimited was a totally new game. Thought it was just a re release of the older games on PC

What does Unlimited change/add/improve? I love the Scribblenauts series.

 

[Toma]

Just because it has been awhile since the last giveaway....

Well technically...

Great games though.

 

[Chairmanchuck]

Which Metro? Last Light?

 

[grindamasta]

So what games are you guys on the lookout for? (Hoping to see there's something I've overlooked.)

Doom 3 BFG 75% off

Maybe Tomb Raider and Blood Dragon... and some indies like Dustforce, Sideway...

 

[shandy706]

$5 via paypal? lol

Wait...which Metro?

 

[JaseC]

Do we know what the drop rate is? I'm at ~150 cards or something (maybe a bit less), and still haven't seen a single one.

I've seen a likelihood of 10% chucked around quite often.

 

[TheExodu5]

Doom 3 BFG 75% off

Thanks for reminding me. I need to pick it up for my Oculus Rift.

 

[bro1]

so far, this sale sucks. No huge bundles and not much on new games. Waiting on Metro Last Light and a few other shooters like Black Ops 2 get discounted in a amajor way.

 

[Fuu]

I can understand that, but GMG, Amazon.com, Simplygames, nuuvem and such are also selling steam-keys, most of the time. And are often far cheaper than during the steam-sales.

An example is Bioshock Infinite. Isnt it about 7 or 8€ cheaper at GMG now with the code?
The same with Tomb Raider, that was about 11€ a few weeks ago at GMG.

And for all those you also get steam-codes.

In my case, the GMG price would be more expensive after conversion. I'm in Brazil, so Nuuvem and Steam showing the price in the local currency (Reais) can make a difference. Bio Infinite is R$54,47 with the 20% voucher on GMG after conversion, while it's R$47,49 on Steam.

 

[Rawket Lawnchair]

JaseC, Lost Planet 2 worth it? I'm eyeing it.

 

[Razorskin]

Yes.


Do it. BNW makes Civ V unquestionably better than Civ IV.

He doesn't need to own the base game.

 

[Petrie]

Which Metro? Last Light?

That's the one.

$5 via paypal? lol

I don't want people's cash.

 

[Shahadan]

Okay Steam has been displaying my games by chronological order of last playing, and it's driving me crazy. how do I go back to an alphabetical order?

Edit : ok found it, 'm dumb

 

[Vyrance]

Voted for Mirror's Edge on this one, and got a card out of it eeeee

Realm of the Diggle Gods final offer.

 

[hardcastlemccormick]

It's been one day.

 

[JaseC]

Doom 3 BFG 75% off

FYI, Doom 3 BFG doesn't support mods (as id infused some id Tech 5 code into the engine), so you're actually better off buying the regular version.

 

[fluffydelusions]

Does anyone know if the new cards will still be around after the sale ends? More importantly, will you be able to craft the summer badge?

I'm guessing you can get the summer badge as long as you can get the cards on the market but I imagine they will go quick

 

[Zuhzuhzombie!!]

You don't need to own the base game.

You sure?

I think you do.

 

[AngmarsKing701]

for someone who doesn't like GTA but loved the first Crackdown, SR3 Yay or nay?

 

[shandy706]

That's the one.



I don't want people's cash.

(looks around nervously)


....how about a high 5?

 

[TheNamelessOne]

for someone who doesn't like GTA but loved the first Crackdown, SR3 Yay or nay?

I never played Crackdown, but I'd say it's more like that than GTA. It's awesome either way.

 

[xtop]

That's the one.



I don't want people's cash.

so i just need to get ya Realm of the Diggle Gods? lol

 

[DukeBobby]

Metro: Last Light? Maybe.

Black Ops 2? No chance.

 

[Zuhzuhzombie!!]

for someone who doesn't like GTA but loved the first Crackdown, SR3 Yay or nay?

I don't care much for GTA and enjoyed SR3. It's definitely worth 5 bucks.

I am playing a bunch of scribblenauts and so far only one card drop

Fun game so far. Well worth the 5 bucks. I feel like an idiot for some of the puzzle solutions staring me in the face.

 

[intheinbetween]

for someone who doesn't like GTA but loved the first Crackdown, SR3 Yay or nay?

absolutely

Does being part of the Hotline Miami beta keep you from getting achievements?

I feel like I should have gotten some of them but didn't...

I added you. Which Game you want?

 

[Petrie]

Nope, something I'd actually play. lol
