Did Ys OIF go for less than 5.09? or was it just Ys Origin that went on sale?

 

[Leon Belmont]

Probably can. Just do an image search.

Thank you Toki

 

[Koroviev]

Only Origin was featured on its own. Oath was featured as part of an indie bundle. If you don't have it already, get Oath.

 

[Herb]

I'm looking for a GOOD but very far fetched game, something I'm unlikely to have heard of. Don't mind about the genre, but it has to be on sale for more than 50%. Any suggestions?

 

[Mr. F]

First Steam Sale, very happy with my haul;

- Fallout 3: Complete
- Fallout: New Vegas Ultimate
- Hitman: Blood Money
- Frozen Synapse
- Magicka
- Terraria

$22.46

Still have $12.50 in my Steam wallet, contemplating maybe Company of Heroes or Galactic Civilizations II.

Oh ok. Will grab Oath then.

So a weird game then? Zeno Clash is all sorts of strange and is pretty good.

 

[AlexBasch]

Screw it, bought the Max Payne bundle and double dipped on Fallout 3 GOTY. I felt that those "$10.02" remaining were mocking me or something for not being used on anything else and that will be pretty much useless after this.

Or until winter, but that's another story.

 

[Ledsen]

You posted after the time limit and me announcing winners but I think your full twelve word entry made the most sense. At least from what I can recall. I applaud you for that.

Ooops! Thanks though. Mostly did it for fun and not for the prize

 

[dk_]

Now that I think about it, the lack of a Dustforce sale was pretty disappointing.

 

[Shaneus]

Out of all the open world, Bethesda open-worldy-type games, New Vegas is supposed to be the best, yeah? If not, the most accessible? Because I never got into Oblivion or Morrowind on Xbox/360, but I keep hearing good shit about New Vegas.

Or do I go Fallout 3?

 

[beyond_death]

Got the Freedom Force pack. Is this awesome? Y/N?

 

[Herb]

So a weird game then? Zeno Clash is all sorts of strange and is pretty good.

I have that. It's a pretty well known game. I'm looking for something far less known than that.

 

[Link Man]

Well, seeing that the final flash deals are up, time to finish this sale.

And a big thanks to all who sent me gifts:

Cleofis, who has yet to post on GAF (to the best of my knowledge), sent me Assassin's Creed II for winning an IRC raffle.

Cloudius12, who rewarded my luck with Just Cause 2.

Myke Greywolf, who sent me Ys: The Oath in Felghana at the last moment, rewarding my patience.

Fun sale, though it kind of fizzled out after the first weekend. Onward to the next sale!

 

[yogloo]

What a great sale! Spent about $250 in total. I was hoping that the dreamcast collection would go on the daily but it didn't happen. I guess I just have to be content with playing lots and lots of new games.
But did I miss the encore sale or something? Not that I have anything else to buy, but just wondering.

Special thanks to I h8 memes who died for our sins.

 

[Lemonte]

I didn't buy many games this year but I'm pretty happy overall what I bought.

Splinter Cell Conviction
Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet
Dirt
Driver San Francisco
Cave Story+
Mirror's Edge
Q.U.B.E.
Metro 2033

total cost ~20€

I regret buying Driver SF because of screen freezes all the time but by blocking it with a firewall problem goes away. Thank you ubisoft for you DRM. Also couldn't get Dirt to work. When I start it I only get black screen and program doesn't answer. Haven't tried other games yet, hopefully they work.

 

[Catshade]

Ghost Master. It's like...an anti-Ghostbuster game.

Vegas, definitely.

I like 3, and I bought it just now to replay a great game that I really liked, but all in all, NV felt a lot better. Better characters, writing, and now aiming actually works, I rarely used VATS in there.

 

[AwesomeSauce]

My final haul:

Zeno Clash
Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising
Tobe's Vertical Adventure
Ys Oath in Felghana
Saint's Row TT Season pass
Syberia Bundle
Hard Reset

all for $25.54

 

[intheinbetween]

I'm thinking about getting Fallout 3 GOTY, but I already got Fallout New Vegas Ultimate Edition, so I'm in doubt if it's worth it, what do you think?

 

[Herb]

Ghost Master. It's like...an anti-Ghostbuster game.

Wow that's a sweet, sweet price. Getting it. Thank you.

 

[Alphalpha]

anyone else want SR3 + dlc pack for $9.79 from the Aus store before i call it a night?

 

[Martian]

I might have done some unexpected impulse shopping:

Total list:

Shogun 2: Total War
Alan Wake Complete
Fallout 3: GOTY
Fallout: New Vegas Complete
Tropico 3
Just Cause 2
AC: Revelations
Dear Esther
The Witcher 2
The Walking Dead
Saint's Row 3

Total damage: 98,50€


So no new games for me for a while!
I have the biggest backlog I have ever had.

And I can't even play them! My laptop is being repaired....

 

[AlexBasch]

Not sure why, but I bought Tropico 3 with my remaining cash and a little extra I had in my card.

Yay?

This would make:

Dead Island - $9.99
Splinter Cell Conviction - $4.99
Max Payne Bundle - $3.74
Fallout 3 GOTY - $4.99
Tropico 3 - $3.39

$27 dollars for total damage. I'm hoping to get Skyrim and Max Payne 3 for the winter, hopefully with a better discount, too!

And got Old World Blues for NV and Saint's Row 3 from a very, very dear friend.

Not too bad I guess.

Awesome. I understand it's a little more closed off or focused as well? I dunno. Anyway, like I said... these games have never really grabbed me, but I haven't invested more than a few hours in them. I think NV might be the ticket (and it'd have to have less bugs in it than what I heard were in FO3).

I didn't encounter any bugs and the mods are quite awesome, there's one for creating weather conditions in the game (sudden raining and sandstorms) and my choices did feel like they mattered more than F3. There are a lot of ways to clear a quest, that's definitely a greater point for me.

Hope you enjoy it!

 

[Minion101]

Fallout New Vegas Ultimate
Tribes: Ascend - Steam Starter Pack
F.E.A.R.: Ultimate Shooter Edition
Portal 2
Renegade Ops + all DLC
Duke Nukem Forever + all DLC From Amazon

Total 35.67


That's a lot considering I expected to buy nothing.

DonÄt buy it, it's a bad game.

 

[Jables Swan]

I'll finally get my hands on Stacking today but disappointed the Lego games didn't get much of a discount. I wouldn't have minded picking up Walking Dead but $15 is still a bit too much.

If you like world exploration, Fallout 3 has way more interesting environments and hidden stuff than New Vegas. To me, Morrowind is the very best Bethesda game, with FO3 second and Skyrim a very close third. Haven't finished NV so I won't rate it. Oblivion is by far the worst one I've played.

 

[AwesomeSauce]

I asked earlier today, but i remember seeing someone in the last thread say they had Red Orchestra 2 guest passes. Can anyone spare one for me? I want to try it out since i regret not jumping on it when it was a daily a couple days ago.

 

[Mr. F]

Yeah I've been wanting to get into Walking Dead to experience it along with everyone else since the hype's pretty high, but I'm alright with waiting until the season is through and on sale for cheaper.

Ys. You need Ys.

Been hearing a lot of buzz about Ys, but what makes it good? From the few gameplay videos I've watched it doesn't really look up my alley.

 

[Jables Swan]

Yeah that's it. Come the Christmas sale it should be a decent enough price.

 

[MrTeachwell]

Here's my Christmas in July haul.

Galactic Civilizations II

[Maiger]

So, what now.. Do I have to play the games I bought?

 

[Link Man]

So, what now.. Do I have to play the games I bought?

A frightening concept, I know.

 

[Type2]

Ys origin is kicking my ass right now, those red demons to get through the demon door are taking forever to kill!
also thanks for the adds on steam everyone!

 

[Styles]

Bought FO:NV even though I have the game for the PS3. Is it worth it just for the mods?

 

[Katoki]

Thankful I gave up on the bigger titles over the $10 mark after a while since for me it was all hype and not much else. In the end, I ended up just playing the indie games I picked up.

Need bigger ships in SPAZ really badly.

 

[Jables Swan]

So, what now.. Do I have to play the games I bought?

Don't be silly. Just wait until the next sale and then we get to do it all over again.

Bought FA:NV even though I have the game for the PS3. Is it worth it just for the mods?

Yes it is.

 

[DOA]

my body is ready

 

[toastyToast]

Should I get Ys Oath if I already grabbed Origins?

 

[Yoshichan]

I can't stop singing the Bastion ending theme... :_:

 

[Unknown Soldier]

Bought FA:NV even though I have the game for the PS3. Is it worth it just for the mods?

All Bethesda games are better on PC because of the mods.

 

[Xater]

Don't be silly. Just wait until the next sale and then we get to do it all over again.

But but I am actually playing the games I bought. I even finished some of them.

Still pissed Analogue and Splice never got 75% off. The price for those games is alright at the moment but I can't spend any more money right now. Bought a new camera for my vacation and the vacation costs money as well.

 

[ImRight]
