I think Gaben needs to make a fifth flash sale with 1 hour refresh rate. People are leaving the Store page and playing games.

Can mods for Crysis be installed even if I installed Steam into the Program Files because I wasn't thinking when I installed it? (Running Windows 7)

Alright. Down to $1.43. Sale is basically over for me. Pretty nice haul, I think.
It's more CoDified (whether you consider that a good thing is up to you). Is it better? Not in my opinion. Still worth getting and playing though (because it hasn't been completely corrupted by this shift... they're saving that for DS 3).
Someone gift that "playing" fucker some Bad Rats ASAP.
So far I've got (rounded up)
Alan Wake CE - 3$
Saints Row The Third DLC - 8$
M&B pack for a friend - 9$
Dear Esther + OST - 4$
Dungeon Siege III DLC - 3$
Thief pack for a friend - 7$
Recettear - 5$
Total - 39$
There's still like a week left, right? Oh my god...

looks good to me. i just want the lego games and KOA now...
I guess there are certain give and takes on the IP right's on what Crytek / EA can do.

Ah, those old days where .exe files served their purpose.

Thanks. I think I'll pick it up.
My Shadow of Chornobyl is only showing like 14 hours, but it's likely I played that one for even longer.
In my mind, it's what Fallout3 should have been. just one of the most interesting open worlds I've played. There is some fast-travel in the game with the complete mod, but sometimes its better to trek across the map. You're run into bandits, monsters, get caught in zone events, fantastic.
Is it buggy? Less buggy than Fallout3. As buggy as Skyrim. I would install the complete mod to play this, but I also installed texture mods for Fallout3 and Skyrim. Pretty much any game benefits from gfx mods.
Oh yeah, the other thing I love about this game? You need to eat, bullets have weight, bleeding is different than health, is different than radiation exposure, guns jam, stalkers by campfires playing guitar. Just little details! It feels like a real CRPG, rather than something that was designed with a console SKU.

E.Y.E lost a community vote
Far Cry 1 was in a pack with Far Cry 2 that I didn't want
Nothing for BG&E though.
Guess I will have to wait yeah.
Would be so annoying to miss out on some good games at the end of the sale just because I am £1 short.
I doubt it. My take on the situation is that Crytek just doesn't give a shit.

I loved it and thought it was much better than the original.
Pshh...you'll be back.
If I want the full SR3 experience, all of the content that's available with no duplicate DLCs, then is "Saints Row: The Third Franchise Pack" what I'm looking for?
(Civ V is another one where it confuses the heck out of me which pieces I need to get all of the content available)

I thought the STALKER games were supposed to be dark, gloomy, and atmospheric. Not bright and cheery.Stalker: CoP

IIRC Isaac is more agile / moves faster than in the first game, so the game felt kinda different.
I liked the first one better, but DS2 is still worth getting IMO
Yeah, about that:
EA publishes the retail and non-Steam DD versions, while the Steam version was (well, as far as Steam itself is concerned, still is) self-published by the now-dead 38 Studios.
Edit: That is why I've been saying I'm not looking forward to having to buy the DLC at full price. KoA going on sale is extremely unlikely since DD discounts have be to greenlighted by publishers, so unless Valve has been chatting with the state of Rhode Island[/Delaware?], it's not going to happen.
Edit: And about the Lego games:
I tried it before and found it very boring.
For some reason I wanted to give it a shot again in this sale but after some YouTube videos I've decided against it. Got plenty of games anyway.

Bought up Recettear, finally! Just hoping for Crusader Kings 2 to go on sale again as a flash deal.

What? Skyrim has already been discounted twice in just this sale.
NV Ultimate was Flash for $9.99

Dead Space is far better than the second one. The second one basically becomes a series of hallways marked by scares around the corners and it gets old halfway through the game.
It's not terrible, but I guess it's worth five bucks.

It's crazy, radioactive fire that laughs at water.
Alright, I remembered the installation issues from way back, I must've mixed them in my mind to mean "not Windows XP+ compatible" even though I DID get it to run through some trouble, albeit for how long would've been a mystery since I didn't play much. Anyways, thanks.

Argh LA Snore AGAIN? Where is my Arma 2 gabe?!
Thief, Thief 2 specifically.

Dungeons of Dredmor is pretty good, accessible roguelike
Never played Avadon, but I think people also like it (old school RPG?)
Yes. I'd start with Shadow of Chernobyl. If you want more STALKER, you can get Call of Pripyat with the loyalty discount.
He just got the Collector's Edition extras I think. Alan Wake was 75% off, so the CE (with the base game) was 8 USD/EUR. The franchise collection was 9 USD/EUR.
Yes. One of the best games of 2011.
That sounds like Mass Effect 2, where the combat sequences were so predictable and formulaic. Any time you came up on a random stack of crates, you just knew that there was a scripted "enemies pour forth" event coming up.
