[HerbertFish]

Think I'm done

Damage:

Orcs Must Die
+
Star Wars: KOTOR- $10.98

Most New Vegas DLC+Fallout 3 GOTY- $13.94

Beyond Good and Evil- $2.49

Oblivion GOTY- $4.99

Not bad at all. Unfortunately I bought Dead Money the day before the sale for ten bucks.

 

[Yoshichan]

Anyway any games to suggest for 6 dollars?

Do you own Bastion?

edit: If not:

 

[sahest]

Usually I don't buy much on these sales, but this time... Well, I wonder when I'm going to have time to play all these games.

Might & Magic Heroes VI
Two Worlds 2
Frozen Synapse
Tropico 4
Indie Bundle II
Walking Dead
Qube
Dear Esther
FEAR Complete Pack
Stacking
Railworks 3: TS2012
GTA Complete Pack
The Binding of Isaac
Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit
Empire: Total War
The Longest Journey + Dreamfall
Driver: San Francisco
Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines
ArmA 2: Combined Operations

And in addition I bought Bioshock 1/2, Spec Ops: The Line, and Max Payne 3 on the Amazon-sale a few weeks ago. I don't dare to calculate my total...

 

[Wok]

I played the original Portal and thought that it was okay. When it eventually became the most overhyped piece of shit on this planet, I decided to dislike it. This was around the time when Portal 2 had just been released, so I decided to ignore it!

Mm-hmm!

What a bad decision!

 

[Canis lupus]

I voted for Mirros Edge, have all 3 games but people should experience Mirrors Edge.

 

[The Wizard]

No Alpha Protocol.
Everone said it will be back next sale. Everyone lied. =(

We still have a few flash sales left. Believe.

Mm-hmm!

GAF is full of good but way over hyped games. Limbo, Braid, ahem Bastion... But Portal is not among them. Amazing games.

 

[Jzero]

Got a couple of dumb obvious questions that I shouldnt be wasting time asking, but want to just validate it.

1. I'm building a new computer, will everything I've been purchasing transfer easily w/ my steam account?

2. My gf is also getting a computer, could she use her account on this comp, buy games and then use it on her computer when she gets it?

Thanks

Yes you should be fine.

 

[Chaos]

Yeah Dustforce didn't get a sale all week.

I was going to pick this up, strange it didn't have any kind of discount, do the devs not like money ?

 

[Angry Fork]

Bought Far Cry 2 during lightning sale, is it really heavy on resources for anyone else? I can max most other games out but this one I have trouble just with high and 2xAA. You can't drive without the game skipping/lagging because it has to load the shadows and foliage, very annoying I'm trying to figure out how to stop it now.

 

[hitoshi]

Well, I think I am done. It was...insane. I left PC gaming in 2003, but every single year I want to buy a PC: in the Autumn and in the Spring. I would have never thought I would spend this much on PC games ever again, but here I am. I think I have to somehow buy a gaming PC - I miss it greatly after a sale like this. Here are my purchases:

 

[Boss Doggie]

Already have Bastion

1. Yes. Have to install of course.

2. Not really supposed to but I doubt there is a problem with it.

 

[Firebrand]

Does anyone know what happened to the sale of Payday: the Heist?

And is there any chance at all there will be some last sales (Like crusader kings II?)

Don't get on my shit list. You don't want to be on my shit list.

Yep, you can access your Steam account from any computer.

You might try google on that one. Seems like a pretty random issue. FC2 runs great on my 4890 without that being an issue. Are you on Nvidia?

 

[Ostinatto]

so bioshock 2 is mediocre?

 

[Yoshichan]

GAF is full of good but way over hyped games. Limbo, Braid, ahem Bastion... But Portal is not among them. Amazing games.

I'm not talking about GAF though. Portal (and its fucking end song which gives me cancer yet to this date) here in Sweden was so ridiculously over-hyped and over-talked that it made me want to punch my own face. Literally having to go through casuals nonsense in every party I went to (Hey Yoshi, have you heard of this AWESOME game that's called Portal?!)... ugh.

 

[Tomodachi]

I'll never get the praise Bastion gets on this and on other threads. Oh well.

too much effort man.

 

[FloppyDelux]

No Transformers: War for Cybertron! WORST SALE EVER!

wait for the sequal...then it should go on sale

 

[Sianos]

Alright, I decided on Gal Civ 2. Hope Analogue doesn't Hate me for passing on it, I might grab it in the future.

One you take over planets and building spaceships. The other you talk to girls. I'd buy the one where you can't do it in real life.

I'll be sure to recommend Analogue to Kuro, then.

Mm-hmm!

Well you can also say Bastion is overhyped

 

[Komedy]

ON TOP OF THAT

I'll gift a free copy of bastion to someone who meets these requirements:

-Make me a funny paint drawing about cheese.
-Must be within the first 5 pictures in response to this.
-I pick the winner from those 5.

 

[Chaos]

Is Gal Civ 2 hard to get into, never played them before ?
Does it have a tutorial ?

 

[legacyzero]

so bioshock 2 is mediocre?

NO!

Just not as good as the first. It's more of the same game really. It doesn't try to push itself beyond the level of Awesome the first game was. But it's CERTAINLY worth the asking price if you love the first game.

 

[arts&crafts]

I'm not talking about GAF though. Portal (and its fucking end song which gives me cancer yet to this date) here in Sweden was so ridiculously over-talked that it made me want to punch my own face.

I dont talk to anyone in real life about videogames sadly, so Gaf is my only hype source.

I agree with you 100% and I'm just like you since my Desktop PC is broken... Also, very good taste. From that list I really envy you for Lone Survivor!

 

[Solideliquid]

Anyone voting for LA Noire?

 

[legacyzero]

AAAAAnnd we have a winner.

Suck it up. If you thought it annoyed you, meet the Portal developers.

Trust me, there's no hint of "cake" or "Still Alive" or any of that bullshit in the second game. They hated that much more than you did, and decided to not indulge the community that loved it so much.

And guess what, it's a better game for it.

But seriously, Portal 2 is a masterpiece, and easily the best value during this sale. Easily. EASILY.

Spoiler

srsly. =|

 

[FloppyDelux]

quantum conundrum = final purchase. done. no more

Only if you have a friend for the coop'.

 

[brandonh83]

Fuck that so hard. Some may say it's mediocre compared to the original and I think the original does some things better like story, but Bioshock 2 is a fantastic game with better gameplay, a good enough story, excellent atmosphere and amazing music.

 

[Yoshichan]

This is in fact the make or break... the word cake or the song Still Alive made me rage so hard. And you say it doesn't even get a mention in Portal 2? That's a good thing, indeed...

Eh, I'll think about it... that fucking Glados is probably still in the game, that's more than enough to make me rage so...

 

[HerbertFish]

This is my humble appeal for everyone to buy Team Fortress Classic. The game for some reason is not free, but is only 2.49. It's a truly classic game and in a lot of people's opinion a lot better than the sequel. Please buy it, play it, love it. I wish Steam would just make it free to help revamp the community again, but I digress.

 

[Datwheezy]

I think I'm going to ride out these last flash deals before making my final purchases.

Although Salsa's "Final Day" threads always sucker me into an extra couple of purchases every time lol

 

[jaundicejuice]

Welp, bought Jagged Alliance: Back in Action, all of its DLC, SPAZ and PixelJunk Eden. That's it, unless there's another bloody flash deal, the damage is roughly 130$ this sale.

 

[Dacvak]

Only if you have a friend for the coop'.

I loved the single-player, dood. So good.

 

[iNvid02]

HAWX 2 got a lot of hate but its awesome, i dont get it - you should buy it

 

[zerokoolpsx]

so bioshock 2 is mediocre?

It's more of the same. Combat is refined, but story is poor. It's done by a different developer.

THIS. Portal 2 is light years a better game than it's predecessor.

HAWX 2 got a lot of hate but its awesome, i dont get it - you should buy it

That Ubi DRM is a huge boner killer. Otherwise I would have nabbed it. I just dont want to support shit like that, even at a cheap price. Maybe I'm just being ridiculous.

 

[Caerith]

The "What Goes on Sale" logic of this sale is baffling. I hope that whatever market research Valve is doing they determine that recap days are better than having some games up for multiple flash/vote/daily (Witcher 2) while other games show up only once (SFIVAE, flash sale) or only potentially once (King's Bounty, lost a vote in community choice).

Also you get to go outside and in the ocean.
