Risen 2 really isn't a very good game, for anyone who is interested. I say this is a huge fan of the original Risen.

I still enjoyed Risen 2 (mostly the dialogue and characters), but the combat, world, and exploration elements are much worse than the original game.

 

[Kccitystar]

Geez does EVERY game require me to install DirectX/Microsoft C++

 

[PartTimeWarrior]

33% now, 50% off during the Winter sale

 

[Yoshichan]

Fuck, I have no idea what I'm voting for today

 

[diffusionx]

Why do they keep repeating the same shit over and over? Do steam sales always work like this? There's plenty of crap that hasn't been on a flash or community vote yet, this is getting lame.

The flash and community vote stuff is new.

 

[therapist]

Ugh risen...already beat darkness 2(was pretty good - but way too short/easy) , dont care about payday or fable .. oh well :/

 

[sorijealut]

Gotta milk those cash cows! ye-up

 

[MrTeachwell]

Why would you want to buy empty spaces?

With the results of these votes and my luck I believe that's the only way SFxT would ever go on sale.

 

[Gbraga]

I want 75% off Chaos Theory

 

[Enco]

So are they saving the big guns for the last couple days, or is the sale pretty much done now?

I just want Splinter Cell on sale damn it!

I'm guessing it's done. Maybe one or two new things. Not sure what else there is. Arma? Nothing else major.

In other news, I downloaded all my sale games today. 40 GB. ISP must be loving it. Unlimited baby.

Oh yeah, lol. The joy of redistributable packages. ;(

As for the voting...I dunno. The Darkness II it is I guess.

 

[zerokoolpsx]

Meh on Risen 2. 33% off? Pass. So, what to vote for.? Payday? Darkness 2?

 

[Thatoneguy]

Risen 2 Dark Water's is the new flash, recycling deals confirmed.

I like this because I'll have a shot at Driver San Francisco. Otherwise, not so much.

 

[opticalmace]

I have a gift copy of Dear Esther. anyone interested in trading? I didn't even mean to buy it!

Hoping Peggle goes on sale or something (same price?).

 

[pramath]

I voted for Fable 3. Am I part of the problem?

 

[Yoshichan]

Why isn't Minecraft on Steam ? I want to buy that...

 

[cpp_is_king]

Anyone here a Magic: The Gathering fan? I want to buy 2013 but I've *never* played *any* Magic game before, even in person. Is it accessible for beginners? Does it have a tutorial and all that stuff?

 

[Tess3ract]

If Fable 3 fucking wins this...

I voted for fable even though I wont buy it.

Yup.

As for a tutorial dunno about 2013 but the others do.

Short answer? Microsoft

It wasn't the 3DS, it was the Wii. But I think they said Nintendo had a small file size limit for the game or something like that, so they ended up not doing it.

Trust me, you won't enjoy it more on a portable. Grab a 360 controller and get the PC version. The slidepad on the 3DS is not meant for SMB, you'd end up breaking it or something.

The PC version is better than the Xbox version too, the Internets isn't implemented on the 360 version because of Microsoft restrictions, but it's on the PC version.


I'd say there's more to do in Terraria than Vanilla Minecraft. They're both fun though, I'd recommend it if you're thinking about getting it.

mmm... how does it play with just the keyboard?
i wouldn't want to reboot my mac for this game too, and i don't even know if OS X sees my xbox controller for what it is...

any advice guys?

 

[froliq]

Voting for Fable 3. My votes don't win anyway.

 

[IceDoesntHelp]

Sorry, you'll have to buy many more game for a real 200, spend spend spend.

Okay ):

 

[Platy]

Is that the land shark gun from Armed and Dangerous in another game ? =O

 

[Smash88]

Why isn't Minecraft on Steam ? I want to buy that...

No need. If it was struggling like other indie games, then most likely.

I'm sure Minecraft will eventually make its way to Steam, but until then I refuse to play Minecraft.

Minecraft is worth $2 at best. Just a mediocre sandbox java game.

Spoiler

Does anyone love me enough to buy Simcity 4 for me as I am broke?

 

[TheChits]

What game do you guys want me to vote for?

 

[Taco_Human]

I voted for payday because I got it for free from a GAFer and when I first tried if before the sale, there were not many people on. More people need to try it out. It's fun when it works.

 

[Beast Legacy]

Alright, you win.

 

[Cystm]

So, I am fucking way too addicted to this shit...

I see this:

And my immediate reaction is to assume it's some hidden meta game.

Not: "Oh, image is bugged, that Summer Sale character is a cute way of letting me know that there is something wrong with the image loading."

It's:

OMFG META! GOTTA MEAN SOMETHING DEEPER!

Spoiler

Some uber deal, not HL3. At least I have that much sanity, right? Right!? ...*sob*

Gaben pls.

 

[Lkr]

so how is sim city 4? was hoping a game that is ~9 years old would be less than $5, but I am tempted to get it regardless

 

[ImRight]

Ohh Please Vote Payday Ppl i missed it last time and have since Been craving it, not to play but i Just NEED it in my collection......

Spoiler

I will actually play it Straight away

Personally I'm waiting for Splinter Cell and Jedi Knight. Other than that I had a good run.

 

[grimshawish]

YES SIM CITY 4!

 

[steadfast]

You guys, you should play Darkness II. Way more fun than the ass-ecution marketing makes it out to be.

 

[vall03]

wait what? there are Fable games on Steam but apparently is not available in my region? Tried playing Fable III on my 360 a couple of months ago but couldn't get into it, oh well not a big loss. Voting for Darkness II since I have no idea which game to vote.

 

[pock3tmonster]

I'm almost certain based on that one gif, that DLC is essential to the Saints experience. Truly, truly mad.

Okay guys, what should I vote for? Payday or the Darkness II?

 

[Yoshichan]

No need. If it was struggling like other indie games, then most likely.

I'm sure Minecraft will eventually make its way to Steam, but until then I refuse to play Minecraft.

Isn't Minecraft like $2 right now though? That's pretty much what I'd pay as-well!

 

[SteveWinwood]

Oh jesus. Usually I only hit the 'You already own this game' thing like once a week, during sales, maybe once a day.

I just got it 4 times in a row!

Just means I'm only buying 1 thing instead of 5!

 

[Omikron]

This attitude gets repeated every steam sale, its getting lame.



I will probably pick up Sins (trinity) today. Been on my wishlist for a long time.

Sorry for the derail, but Team Meat was considering porting SMB to 3DS early last year and announced that they wouldn't be going through with those plans a few months later. They are licensed devs and may or may not release something on the system in the future.

 

[Lulubop]

Devil May Cry 4 isn't going lower, is it. =/.

 

[Vamphuntr]

Risen 2 for 33% off. Still expensive.

 

[Crayons]

Minecraft is $26.95. And well worth it.

 

[Jdez15]

I had to buy Saints Row the Third.

Yes to all the above. Don't buy the deck unlocks unless you are impatient. Cards are unlocked through winning with the decks. Difficulty can be turned down so that the AI doesn't play well.

 

[Yoshichan]

Minecraft is $26.95. And well worth it.

26... as in 26 fucking dollars?

Holy.

Fucking.

Shit.

Really?

I'm sorry, but I do not know how people can justify $27 for a java game.

I'm missing 2 votes. Everyone is having these problems.
