If you do buy it, download the roster/graphic mods.

Thanks for the pointer, my mouse is hovering. I think I'm going to make the call against it, if only because I want to see what the rest of the sale brings. In relation to how much I've been spending per game, $7.50 might as well be a full priced game, haha.

New Vegas.

 

[PepperJack]

Someone sell me on fallout: new vegas. Did not care for original fallout 3.
What kind of a time investment am I looking at here?

10.50 spent this steam sale lets see if I can finish this sale with less than 20 spent.

Also, some of you guys should learn what a haiku is.

You should at least educate them in haiku. I wrote this a year ago in a similar contest:

When spoken aloud
Each distinct sound is its own
Syllable, savvy?

So hai-ku has two,
Syl-lab-le has three and, you,
Diprosalic, four.

The haiku pattern
Is five syllables first line,
Then seven, then five.

(Well, supposedly
Ha-i-ku's three syllables
But this ain't Japan.)

I have a few TF2 cards, but not all of them required for the badge. It says I'm not eligible for any more card drops, and I've just got a booster pack.

It says I can get more cards by buying TF2 items, but I don't plan on doing that - should I just sell the cards I have, or are there still ways to get cards and complete the badge?

the other way is by getting cards from other games on your library, then you sell or trade them for the remaining TF2 cards you need

Good for him. Maybe with all this money he is able to buy a good opinion for himself.

I had to make the choice between Fallout 3 and eating tomorrow. There's always next sale.

I think that's it for me for this sale. I have no idea what else I could possibly want.

You have to actually use the booster pack to get additional card drops.

Grabbed Duke Nukem Megaton when it was $3. Went to play some today and have an annoying issue. Clicking Play seemingly loads the game as I lose my mouse cursor but I can't actually see anything. I have to hit ctrl-alt-del and then cancel to get it to actually show up. Any thoughts? Once it is booted it runs fine but this is pretty annoying.

I know this question is seemingly redundant given the bolded but I had noticed previously that Total War: Rome is looked upon quite fondly and (when I was looking whether or not to buy it a few months ago) for many it is their favourite in the series. I am wondering, given what you've said, why people would feel this way about Rome if there are incremental improvements and is it still worth buying Shogun 2 if Rome is owned yet has not yet been played (ie, are the imrprovements in Shogun 2 significant enough that it is worth a purchase despite already owning one that hasn't yet been played)?

There's a 7 year difference between the releases of Rome and Shogun 2, so yes Shogun 2 is much improved. It's the same basic play but much more polished and much better AI.

I did not have this issue, I am on mac though

That was a pretty weak insult. You can do better!

 

[MushroomSamba]

Mine was eerily similar to the winner's haiku.

So I may be broke,
But Lord Gaben saves the day.
Loads of games ahoy!

 

[arts&crafts]

Anyone play Eador? Is it an rts like civ or starcraft or is it a crazy new genre?

 

[Tobor]

I tried to buy a game i had forgotten I already owned. There's should be a badge for that.

 

[Freeza Under The Shower]

btw, as for: why is Viking in the Total War collection? Most obvious would be that it's the same studio, but for those who've played it: it was pretty obvious that Viking was meant to be something different from it was turned into, as the "get reinforcements" thing clearly demonstrates. It's a failure of sorts, but a pretty glorious one.
(IMO, of course.)

 

[Complex Shadow]

Which period of history do you find more interesting? I prefer Rome over vanilla Shogun 2 but i'm having a blast with Fall of the samurai which is kinda more shooty than stabby. Regardless of your choice you should 100% play with mods, there are variety for Rome 2 but I would go for Roma Surrectum 2 and for Shogun 2 go with Darthmod. Vanilla Rome is kinda crappy at this point, I couldn't imagine playing it without the mods, they make it infinitely better.

Maybe he could buy a friend instead.

 

[Tambini]

Still looking for an AOE 4 pack if anyone can host one

 

[Yaboosh]

It is like Heroes of Might and Magic. Turn based.

because the thought that everything older is better. Its not, Rome is great, but the ai is wonky and the game doesn't touch the depth of later games. The Shogun games are currently the best in the series.

So I played FTL for 5 hours last night.

Thought it was only an hour.

At least it will probably run on my laptop from 2006 while I am at work.

Any suggestions for games that would run on an old laptop?

Torchlight?

 

[Martian]

alright last one:

this year no more games
I've 10 dollars in my bank
fine, ill get Torchlight

 

[A Human Becoming]

Maybe he could buy a friend instead.

Better.

 

[DurielBlack]

Torchlight?

Got it already.

 

[Prophane33]

McPixel is a crazy weird awesome game. First game I've actually played during the sale instead of letting it idle the entire time. However, for some reason the cards are priced the absolute worst, first cards I've parted with at single digits.

I won EVE Online on here a couple of days ago and with the way my life is going to be in the next few months, I'm not going to have the time or money to play it, so I figured that I would just give it away on here to someone who'll appreciate more than I will

I'm making up for last years winter sale.
Went nuts on that one.

Viking: Battle for Asguard is £2.49. It's hugely underrated, so buy it.

 

[Dennis]

Steam sales are so boring now.

I already own every game worth owning.

Even games I know I will never have time to play.

 

[spirity]

No matter how much people say Fallout NV is better, I enjoy FO3 more.

Actually, the majority of Gaf agrees. It's just that the NV fans are more vocal.

 

[Yondy604]

Fallout 3 i loved the story

Pretty much this. Not even the foils reach so much as 75 cents.

It was in the humble android bundle like a week before the sale started, and was only like a buck in steam. Plus the set has like 13 cards. Super high supply and really low demand.

Great game though.

 

[Cjdamon042]

So how's Remember Me?

The only games I've bought in this sale so far have been sandbox/simulator games and I'm looking for something more action packed. I don't have a lot of spare time these days due to work and something that's pretty mindless but still enjoyable that's not excessively long is ideal.

I always wanted to give Remember Me a go at some point and I'm wondering if it's worth the £18? It does feel a bit steep but I guess it won't be going any lower than that for a while.

My main worry is that it'll end up free on PS+ at some point in the near future. But I guess I can say that about most games.

 

[Trogdor1123]

just bought Fallout 3, now for getting it to work on windows 7... any techy person able to dumb it down for me with a good method?

If only Gabe could find a way to create more time...

And then sell it at a discount during summer and winter promotions.

That one made me laugh though. Cheaply done lol

It's not cheap, it's high art!
