[The_Monk]

Can we please not turn a thread about the current Steam sale into some meta discussion about discourse regarding PC vs. console gaming on GAF in general? Thanks.

Yes be kind to each other fellow GAFfers. Everyone is different and have different tastes. People can be both console and PC gamers, so I believe that every one should be united, not divided.

The Community is so much better when we all get along, so let's work to keep it that way my good GAFfers.

SR3 beat ME2 and Kotor

thanks! can't remember if I voted for KOTOR :/

 

[LiK]

SR3 is just plain fun

How many of you are doing this?

Spoiler

I sorta am

My Steam wallet is still packed full of cash. I can't get rid of my wallet money fast enough

 

[bro1]

You must be new to Activision games.

Yeah, I am. On Amazon I got MW3 for $14. There is a discount right now of 25% but I was hoping for 50%

 

[cicero]

How many of you are doing this?

Spoiler

I sorta am

I have bought nothing for myself yet, only gifts. I hope that some of my desired wishlist games go on a daily sale for a decent price. My previous list HERE was a bit larger, now I just hope for these to have decent sales.

Unity of Command & DLC
Ys I
Din's Curse + DLC
Conquest of Elysium 3
Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams
Super House of Dead Ninjas
Chivalry: Medieval Warfare
Rayman Origins
World in Conflict
Driver San Francisco

Games I really really want but which are unlikely to have large enough deals on for me to bite:
Xenonauts
The Swapper
Dust: An Elysian Tail
Kentucky Route Zero
Monaco
Gunpoint
Dungeons & Dragons: Chronicles of Mystara
Sid Meier's Civilization V: Brave New World

 

[BLunted]

How many of you are doing this?

Spoiler

I sorta am

I am actually pacing myself. I already have a backlog, so scrutinizing every purchase thinking "Am I actually going to play this?"

It easy to get caught up in the whirlwind of buys games for the sake of being on sale.

 

[dave is ok]

The GTA IV and Portal 2 prices seem like the same as in previous sales, but haven't we gotten Mirrors Edge cheaper than 6 dollars before?

 

[OneEightZero]

And don't just by Saint's Row alone. Get The Full Package.

 

[PixyJunket]

Can you make trades through the web or app?

 

[inm8num2]

OK yeah that upgrade you need the base game for.

Yea I figured it's as good a deal as we'll see for Civ V.

I just wasn't sure if the $5 upgrade required you to own anything else besides the base game in order to be eligible for it. But thanks for confirming!

 

[More_Badass]

SR3 is hilarious

For 5 minutes.

My SR3 litmus test:

SR3 is about running around naked, delivering nutshots to civilians in furry suits and beating down luchador gangsters with a giant dildo

If that makes you chuckle, SR3 is for you

 

[JaseC]

Yeah, I am. On Amazon I got MW3 for $14. There is a discount right now of 25% but I was hoping for 50%

The modern Call of Duty titles will most certainly appear as Dailies, but I wouldn't expect a generous discount on Black Ops 2.

My Steam wallet is still packed full of cash. I can't get rid of my wallet money fast enough

I'll take 1 Rogue Legacy in that case.

No, you need to use the client.

 

[Rickenslacker]

Can you make trades through the web or app?

Last time I tried trading with someone who was using web chat it wouldn't allow it. Don't know about the app.

 

[TFlat]

Not sure if this was asked before (it's hard to keep up), but what are the chances Fez will get a discount?

 

[The_Monk]

I hope I did this right....

Laura Croft fellow GAFFer... Laura?

How dare you good sir!

 

[Weemanply109]

Considering Scribblenauts Unlimited before the dailies change. What do y'all think about it? Anyone played it?

 

[NIGHT-]

And don't just by Saint's Row alone. Get The Full Package.

Does the season pass have everything the full package has? I already have the base game

 

[NingenJanai]

Not sure if this was asked before (it's hard to keep up), but what are the chances Fez will get a discount?

Almost none

 

[OneEightZero]

Not sure if this was asked before (it's hard to keep up), but what are the chances Fez will get a discount?

Have you met Phil Fish?

 

[Out_Of_Ammo]

Almost none

Ugh, another game of my wishlist... This sale is disappointing so far

 

[DukeBobby]

My haul so far:

Antichamber - £5.09
Duke Nukem 3D - £2.37
Little Inferno - £1.74

Not much, but looking forward to day 2. Bring on the indies!!

 

[OmegaTreeFish]

SR3 is just plain fun

Isnt it terribly optimized like 2 was though?

I would get it but I think it would run like garbage on my HD4870 even on low.

[tarheel91]

GTAIV vs. Saints Row 3. I'm only probably going to pick up one. Which should it be? I like to both do missions and dick around equally.

 

[OverBlood 3]

Am i the only one who thinks steam sales are overhyped? Yes there are good deals like darksouls and borderlands 2 and countless other indie games but this isn't exactly the reason why PC gaming is so great. Everytime someone in a forum or comments section go "ERMAGERD STAEM SALE SO GOOD SO CEHAP PC GAMEN BEST THANX GABENUEL XOXO" i cringe, cause it sounds like were trying so hard to justify our choice of gaming platform. And then ignorant console fanbois proceed to make snark remarkz like "LOLOLOL, DIS IS Y DEVS DONT SUPPORT PC CAUSE YOU GUYS EIDA PIRATE EVERY GAME OR ONLY BUY IT WHEN ITZ 2$$$ LOL PC GAMING SUX LELELEL"
and i proceed to cringe some more.

Plus its not really that much of a saving considering you can buy major releases like Tomb Raider and Bioshock on release from sites such as GMG for like only slightly more than steam sale prices. Plus you dont have to wait a year...

Go away.

 

[Pops Maellard]

Really wanted KOTOR to win, hmm. Doesn't seem like an amazing deal, but I'm pretty sure everyone (including myself) already owns GTA IV and Portal 2 so I voted for Mirrors Edge.

 

[avcables]

GTAIV vs. Saints Row 3. I'm only probably going to pick up one. Which should it be? I like to both do missions and dick around equally.

Saints Row 3

 

[OneEightZero]

Does the season pass have everything the full package has? I already have the base game

You're still better off buying The Full Package. It's still cheaper than you buying the Season Pass and the remaining DLC.

 

[PixyJunket]

No, you need to use the client.

Aye, thanks.

 

[Grief.exe]

Ugh, another game of my wishlist... This sale is disappointing so far

But its only been 2 day of an 11 day sale.

 

[questionmark]

GTAIV vs. Saints Row 3. I'm only probably going to pick up one. Which should it be? I like to both do missions and dick around equally.

GTA IV

 

[Novacain]

Isnt it terribly optimized like 2 was though?

I would get it but I think it would run like garbage on my HD4870 even on low.

SR3 is much better optimized for PC than SR2 was. The difference isn't even close, the PC version is fantastic.

 

[Out_Of_Ammo]

But its only been 2 day of an 11 day sale.

Yes but I want to buy stuff now dammit!!! (and Skyrim, Bioshock infinite and Don't starve are still more expensive than hoped.)

 

[The Wizard]

GTAIV vs. Saints Row 3. I'm only probably going to pick up one. Which should it be? I like to both do missions and dick around equally.

Saints Row 3 doesn't take itself too seriously, which for me made it much more fun than GTAIV.

 

[DukeBobby]

GTAIV vs. Saints Row 3. I'm only probably going to pick up one. Which should it be? I like to both do missions and dick around equally.

GTAIV has better missions, but Saints Row 3 has more ways to dick around.

Your choice.

 

[The_Monk]

GTAIV vs. Saints Row 3. I'm only probably going to pick up one. Which should it be? I like to both do missions and dick around equally.

Well, only one of those games you can really do that fellow GAFfer.

 

[X05]

The modern Call of Duty titles will most certainly appear as Dailies, but I wouldn't expect a generous discount on Black Ops 2.

They really should have the older ones for cheap at least. They did it once eons ago and never again
