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

All of them same that, I'm looking at Darksiders right now.

[Koroviev]

So here's my experience with Red Orchestra 2 so far:

Walk outside spawn
Die

Time to harden up, Son.

 

[Krappadizzle]

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.

He's talking about the Hitman series....

 

[Pancakes]

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

Driver SF is currently slightly bugged due to Ubi's Uplay servers being overwhelmed, it freezes up ever 30-45 seconds for about 6 seconds unless you either play in offline mode or block Driver.exe from accessing the Ubi servers.

Might as well!

 

[bigace33]

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

I would only get Shank 2 if it were $2.50 or under. Now Shank 1 is awesome but Shank 2 is just a major let down so far.

 

[DUFFMCWALIN]

Does anyone remember the program that helped clean up the installation files for steam? It would get rid of all the extra stuff left over. I can't remember the name.

 

[Cheddahz]

Does anyone here have a spare copy of Dear Esther? I have $2.50 in my Steam wallet and I could get you anything you want that's $2.50 or lower

 

[GoofsterStud]

He's talking about the Hitman series....

Thanks for clarifying. I just activated Darksiders, so I was confused.

 

[blackMamba1187]

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

http://steamcommunity.com/id/guit3457

Really curious about this, too. Anyone know?

[Dacvak]

Man, Qube really takes a

Spoiler

Portal-y turn halfway through the game. Like when you start breaking through levels, and traveling to where you shouldn't be. Mirror's that game pretty specifically.

It's fun.

Awesome! Thank you so much it was driving me crazy.

You said "Hitman is also 75% off, not sure if it's steam enabled." and I said it wasn't and talked about the only Hitman game that was. Why do you think I brought up the only Hitman game that was?

I should've bolded exactly what I was responding to in the first place.

 

[PixyJunket]

I've only bought ONE thing this sale. I feel twitchy, maybe I should get something to gift just to get something.

I could always push Faerie Solitaire onto more people.

I'm tempted by Divinity II, but it will make me cross my self-imposed $100 limit on the sale. I also wanted to pick up Ys: Oath in Felghana before the sale was over. Dang, decisions, decisions.

Also here's my Steam profile if everyone is still doing that: http://steamcommunity.com/id/polluxoil

 

[Koroviev]

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

How bad is the rubber-banding?

 

[Scum]

I'm thinking about Rayman Origins. Yay or Nay?

[Incendiary]

Yay. One of the best platformers this generation. I played in on 360, though, so I'd say definitely play it with a controller if you can.

 

[Fatal Futanari]

I'm thinking about Rayman Origins. Yay or Nay?

yay!

 

[blackMamba1187]

I'm thinking about Rayman Origins. Yay or Nay?

Another vote for yay. Looks so nice on PC.

 

[zkylon]

Yeah, I heard something like that. I think I'll wait on the flash sale rotation and since I haven't bought anything today and yesterday, I'll get it.

Driver SF is currently slightly bugged due to Ubi's Uplay servers being overwhelmed, it freezes up ever 30-45 seconds for about 6 seconds unless you either play in offline mode or block Driver.exe from accessing the Ubi servers.

Wait, this still happens? Sounds unplayable...

Also, where did you get the Sona pic? I want one of Lux :3

 

[Salsa]

wasnt a problem for me

im sure it's there though, but I never had one of those "OH C'MON FUCK YOU" moments

 

[The One Who Knocks]

I'm thinking about Rayman Origins. Yay or Nay?

Definitely buy it, without a doubt. It's an absolute steal even at the current price if you've not yet played it!

 

[MRORANGE]

Yay

Just that good, huh?

 

[MrNyarlathotep]

Really curious about this, too. Anyone know?

Also here's mine: http://steamcommunity.com/id/blackMamba1187

The DoW2 stuff is split into three categories really;
- online multiplayer only skins (these are the dlcs that are things like "Dark Angel skinpack" - they ONLY show up in the multiplayer / skirmish game and are purely cosmetic)
- singleplayer wargear (these are basically a set of epic loot you start with in singleplayer; most of them are 'win button' wargear for your chosen races leader that you will probably still be mostly using until the end of the game)
- Last Stand equipment wargear, which often completely change up how you play as a given hero rather than being outright OP (with the possible exception of the space marine one which is phenomenally good)

If you play / are going to play the multiplayer game a lot, and want to differentiate your favourite team from others, and / or are a massive lore nerd, get the multiplayer skins for the team you like to use.

If you enjoy the singleplayer game, its pretty nice to have a full set of epic wargear for your commander from the get go, and it helps you outfit the rest of the squad quicker, but there's no new game + or anything, so when you finisht he campaign, you're done.

The Last Stand stuff is all nice enough in terms of slightly different build options, but there aren't that many viable builds to use in Last Stand, and most of the viable builds don't need DLC equipment to make (although some are better than others)

The one notable exception to all this is the Tau Commander DLC, which is genuinely new content for Last Stand in an entirely new hero with their own progression tree and equipment unlocks.

 

[Enfinit]

I'm thinking about Rayman Origins. Yay or Nay?

Yay x10000000. One of the best platformers, ever.

 

[Gen X]

Just a quick question since this thread is so active atm, do you need to have Halflife 2 installed to play one of the Episodes? I have HL2, but never bothered installing it on this rig since I completed it back in '05 but just got Ep1 today.

 

[Platy]

Thank you pink unicorn that my credit card is having some crazy problems ... or today's sales would have made a hole in my bank account of the size of a small country ...

Quantum Conundrum
Pretty prince of persia
Arkham City
Zumbi Mod
Rayman origins

Today is the best day

 

[Scum]

Cheers, lads. Bought!

 

[JaseC]

Pretty much. Although the AI isn't overly difficult for the most part (I bought the Shelby GT early into the game and didn't need/want to replace it until the 500,000 WP Lamborghini was available), of the races I did lose, I didn't consider the outcome to be the fault of anything other than my own mistake/s.

 

[zerokoolpsx]

Evochron Mercenary looks complicated from looking at some gameplay.

I believe you can play the Episodes without having Half Life 2.

 

[Johnny Cage In The Shower]

Maaan Steam is like a deep vortex, you get sucked in and there's no turning back, not just the games you buy and add, adding friends, community, groups, shit just keeps getting added to your profile..(my virgin Steam profile is now all deflowered and worked in)

[Type2]

I missed both dragon age origins and vampire masquerade for $5 each, otherwise I got quite a haul.
Out of the things I bought ive started playing Tales of Monkey Island, Ys Origin and botanicula(which just makes me so giddy to play, I love the sounds)

Nope, they're standalone.

You have the Ys games, proof enough that you're a good citizen. Consider Walking Dead, though.

 

[Johnny Cage In The Shower]

I'm thinking about Rayman Origins. Yay or Nay?

If you play it on a 50" large HDTV, all the vibrant colors and artwork will put a smile on your face, well it did for me anyway. very neat 2D platformer if you like 2D platformers that is.

 

[Rawket Lawnchair]

Sure. If you don't play any of them.

 

[Dacvak]

lol. I didn't realize this until a few minutes ago.

Did you try to buy anything you already owned?

Goddammit, why can't Rayman Origins be on Mac. Dual booting can suck it.

 

[HoosTrax]

I'm glad that I tried the Rayman demo and was reminded how terrible I am at platformers. The art style looks wonderful -- I'm just too terrible at the genre to be able to experience all (or even a significant portion) of the game I'm afraid.
