Okay so here's the thing about ArmA II: I own the base game already, but not the Steam version. How will I be able to install Operation Arrowhead from Steam?

 

[JaseC]

I bought the Kingdom of Amalur DLC on amazon when it was on sale for $4.98.

I have only play Teeth of Naros so far. I can tell you that the story is actually good, and it doesn't feel generic like the rest of the game. It's actually interesting. I like the game, but I loved my Teeth of Naros experience. Still it's only 8 hours.

Good to hear. I resumed my playthrough the other day, after some ~90 hours with the game in the weeks following release, but I'm still working my way to the second continent, so it'll be a while before I get around to the DLC. The only reason I've waited so long to buy it is that I'd hoped it would go on sale, but the recent demise of 38 Studios saw fit to guarantee otherwise (the Steam version is self-published, which also means that the game will be pulled from the Store soon enough).

 

[RedSwirl]

Also, how easy is it to get Sands of Time (which is $2.49 now) working with a controller?

 

[Leon Belmont]

Damn no more money for Prince or Persia The Sands of Time, Two Thrones and Warrior Within

 

[Macattk15]

How is this Divinity 2 game? Looks pretty.

Pretty sure you can't.

 

[Mutagenic]

I wish I knew more about Divinity II. Looks neat.

 

[Ragingnight]

so is tomorrow a repeat or new deals? anybody know?

 

[bryehn]

Probably really easy. I played it with a Logitech Dual Action or similar back when it came out.

 

[GoofsterStud]

I know this is a steam thread but if you missed it green man gaming has a bunch of steam activated games for 75% off.


Metro 2033 $4.98
Darksiders $4.98

Lara Croft: TGoL$3.74

new deals

 

[Razek]

So once Age of Empires 3 goes live again I recommend anyone who is into Civ and rts games and would like to see a blend of these two give it a try. I have been really enjoying it so far. Just make sure you play the dynasty pack because that one has all the content of the last 2.

 

[Enfinit]

Debating picking up Torchlight, can someone talk me into getting it or not getting it?

 

[Bowdz]

I have a really stupid question. I'm running low on HDD space. Does anyone have an exact number for how much space Combined Operations takes up? Steam has 10GB listed for Arma 2 and 20GB for Operation Arrowhead.

 

[Salsa]

Debating picking up Torchlight, can someone talk me into getting it or not getting it?

only negative thing I could say about is that Torchlight 2 is supposedly coming out soon

I think it was about 11gb total, iirc. Maybe that was just the download, though.

 

[RedSwirl]

Pretty sure you can't.

Actually the page says you don't need ArmA II at all to play Operation Arrowhead. It's just DayZ that requires both, or requires Combined Operations. Given that, I actually don't know if or when I'll play DayZ. My internet connection right now isn't even good enough for multiplayer. Plus I barely got the chance to start ArmA II (I'm actually interested in its singleplayer campaign).

[GoofsterStud]

Debating picking up Torchlight, can someone talk me into getting it or not getting it?

Do you like Diablo?
Do you have fun playing Diablo single player?
Can you stand the graphic style?

If the answer is yes for the three it's a must buy at the price, if there is one no, wait for Torchlight 2.

 

[Jasper Avenue]

Wow today is great for deals. That Dawn of War pack is bananas. Might actually grab Arma II also. The GAF hype is strong!

 

[Razek]

Hack and slash with iffy controls but tons of loot and decent control over how your character develops. I find it very hard to play as a melee character because of the horrible mouse selection controls, which left clicking shares both move and attack. A ranged or magic character is much more feasible.

Remember that pre-ordering the second game gives you a free copy of torchlight 1.

 

[palabok]

So I was thinking about getting Dawn of War: Platinum Edition and I noticed Soulstorm wasn't part of the bundle. Should I get that as well or is it not worth it?

 

[Rawket Lawnchair]

I've hidden my Steam ID in this post as well. Sorry for the secrecy, just don't really want to add anyone other than gaffers.

 

[Enfinit]

Besides that, I've heard a lot of people praise it. I haven't done extensive research, but it looks like a very pretty Diablo (of which I'm not really that big a fan of those styles of games). However, if the story's worth it, I'll spend the $3 on it.

Wow, thanks for the head's up on the Torchlight 2 pre-order. However, if the controls are that terrible I might stay away. Is the story good?

 

[Yoshichan]

Playing Bastion with all kinds of Idols/Gods active just makes the whole experience even better. How the heck is that even possible?

Don't forget that you can use this code at the same time:

to get 20% off.

Nope.

Capsule Client : This title requires Capsule to play.

The only one that's redeemable on Steam is the upcoming Hitman: Absolution - Professional Edition.

 

[RedSwirl]

Looks like we're probably not gonna get anything more for Might and Magic though. Should I give up and just accept the current $6.69 price for Dark Messiah? I just paid less than that for Darksiders.

id say avoid if you dont like Diablo

but id also say get it if you're willing to give that genre another chance. It's a great game.

Awww yeeeaahhh. Game's so much fun. There are only a few things I disliked, like the hammer challenge (or something like that). Otherwise, it's a masterpiece.

Among all those Dawn of War Retribution DLC's...any recommendation?

http://steamcommunity.com/id/guit3457

 

[zkylon]

Casually interested in Driver. Can't decide...I never end up playing racing games...

 

[X05]

Quantum Conundrum is a daily, nice. Tried the demo on PS3 the other day, really fun and charming game
Might get the season pass...

Spoiler

I went totally overboard this sale and never looked back

Are we still doing the steam id thing?

Good idea. I'm just gonna do a purge whenever I feel the need to. No difference to me if no one remembers me and I don't remember them.

 

[GoofsterStud]

Nope.



The only one that's redeemable on Steam is the upcoming Hitman: Absolution - Professional Edition.

Really all of those say require steam on the page. How could they not be redeemable and require steams, my bad.

Every time I've read:
Third party DRM: Steam
This game requires a free Steam account to play.
It's be redeemable on Steam for me.

 

[Salsa]

the thing that sucked about Bastion is that back when it came out the dadzone was way too low for a 360 controller. Each time I aimed at something and let go of the stick the kid would do a complete 180 turn and started shooting the other way.

Did they fix that? still really enjoyed it

 

[Dacvak]

SalsaShark swears by that game. I haven't tried it, but he says it's the bee's knees.

 

[choaffable]

It's also time to go hogwild and grab all the non-daily/flash games that are on sale. Looking at you Shank 2!

 

[Johnny Cage In The Shower]

It's under "edit details."

Thanks!

Well my Steam ID, I guess!?

Guess I'm not the only one in this boat. What's it doing for you?

 

[Enfinit]

The only reason I got through Diablo is because I really enjoyed the lore, and I'm definitely willing to give the genre more chances. If Torchlight 1 is free when pre-ordering Torchlight 2, I think I might go that route. I trust GAF's recommendations that much.

 

[Arxisz]

Seems like everyone is exchanging ID's so might aswell lol

yeah I'd even recommend it if you're not THAT into racing games

That's what the "ignore" option is for. I advertise my profile/account names willy nilly and get a non-GAFer friend request only once every week or two. (No groups or friends in common? No acceptation!)

If you want to play multiplayer, get them. If not, just get the base game. They're all multiplayer-related.

None of them say that except for Hitman: Absolution - Professional Edition.

I'm talking about the Hitman games since you said they were also 75% off.
