Steam Summer Sales 2012 Thread 2: No One I Know Voted for Nixon

Yeah, it kinda is, though in its current state, I found DayZ to get boring fast, while STALKER never leaves you without anything to do (randomly generated quests, dead enemies sometimes drop their stash locations so you can find their loot, artifact hunting...).
Welp, just screwed up at Gamestop trying to get a $50 Steam card and forgot to tell them I had store credit to spend on it. I just found out no matter how fast you notice and want to void the transaction (in my case, 15 seconds) it's impossible with any DLC from gamestop.
I don't suppose anyone here wants to buy the steam wallet code off me? I'm hoping to not eat the $50 since I don't have it to spend.

This is how I feel about the games too.
Did you run Stalker vanilla once before installing Complete?
Edit - Heh I just now realized what you said. Not sure what could be wrong.
I liked far cry 2 quite a bit though. The respawning of enemies was lame, but otherwise a fun game. I don't enjoy stalkers story as much and with the way it performs on my system, it's really frustrating and difficult to try to get into the game. I'll eventually beat it, but I can only play in small doses (typically until the game freezes).
You obviously don't know how these sales work.
Katokian is mine. I hop on once in a while.
I'm at work so I can't do any adding so if you're lazy, PM me your guys' ID's.
Bland environments? Surely you jest.
Don't lie to him. There are vast stretches of absolutely nothing to do.

We get it Marrec, you didn't like Stalker. You can stop now.
He isn't lying, you are. STALKER's environments are quite dynamic; you will never get the exact same result crossing the same map twice. Some people even think the maps are overpopulated.
Yeah you can just buy the DLC now. Don't think you can buy it for yourself since you won't have the game so just buy it as a gift, store it in your inventory then redeem it when you have the game.

If it's under $4.00 on Steam I'm pretty sure that means it's free. For some reason my bank account disagrees with this logic.

How are you guys spending 100-150 bucks? Buying everything under the Sun or fairly new to PC gaming? Your backlogs are going to be enormous. I got Ys Origin and Killing Floor and am pretty happy with that haul

Did you read the readme? Says to run Stalker, patch it. Close it. Then make sure it's a certain version, then install the complete mod. Then start a new game. You have to start a new game for it to work.

You can't do much better than those two anyway.

Feeling... okay, I guess, about how much I've spent (am spending), at least from the perspective of simply filling out a library for a future PC during the most opportune fortnight in the year. Definitely need to take a step back from the kneejerk purchase-buttoneering now though. The last few games have increasingly felt like unnecessary spends. Not enough hours in the day, etc. And I very likely have waaaay too much massive strategy game on the list across Shogun 2, Civ 5, CK 2 and EU 3.

I got shadowgrounds thinking it was the Trine 2 coupon(codes are wrong) but Steam says the game can't be installed, lol.
I'm not lying, there's always something to do, even moreso if you play the game modded. Almost every time you venture out to do some quest you run into interesting stuff, be it anomalies, a dog pack chasing some poor sob, faction shootouts, etc. You loot their corpses and find one or two stash locations, giving you even more things to do. During the whole time you explore and scavenge swamps, military camps, garbage dumps, warehouses, abandoned underground labs and such. If you play SoC modded (at least Oblivion Lost features these things), you can even drive a car if you want to skip some of the walking about, plus you have more enemy types and blowouts (which are just about one of the most amazing things in any videogame).
It's not for everyone and it's a slow paced, moody, methodical game, but if you're into that stuff there's never a dull moment.
Nvidia control panel or D3Doverrider probably would work.

Thanks for reposting the summer seal, it's a good reminder to try again.
I've won Shadowgrounds so far...not sure if I'm gonna keep it for myself or give it away.

Yeah, Killing Floor's been on sale for ~5 bucks a bunch of times but this one had all the DLC characters for only $2.50 more so $7.50 total, seemed like a good deal. I hope people still playing online.

If you're getting performance issues I can see why it would be harder to get into. It's definitely the type of game that you want to play without hitches to fully absorb yourself.

Been like that for me for several sales now. It's the downside of keeping up with indie games outside of sale time.

is this the one where I can use the updated patch on steam and don't have to lower the update....

Unfortunately, that is not the version that will work with Steam version of GTAIV properly. According to the forums, the new 2.1 version that works with steam will be out later today.

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
Wow, thank you so much Martin! I don't know who you are (yet) but hopefully your GAF account will get activated, hook me up with that PM whenever man! And thanks a lot for the gift sir! ♥
This reminds me why I stopped playing. It was on my old PC and it ran ok, but the load times were atrocious. Which sucked because I was dying a lot. Should probably try now that I've upgraded.
I guess this means I'll buy Call of Pripyat.
Erm... why didn't you just get the GOTY edition?

This is why I'll never go to Vegas. Slot machines hate me.
Buy sins if you like 9 hour long games and similar races.
