[Entropia]

Picked up the Saint's Row pack this morning before I left for work.

Total pickups:
Binding of Isaac - $2.23
Deus Ex: Human Revolution - Augmented Edition - $9.99
Civilization Collection (Summer 2012) - $24.99
Saints Row: The Third Franchise Pack - $13.29

Total: $50.5


Not bad. I've put maybe a couple hours into Binding of Isaac (couldn't really get into it), and I logged 32'ish hours into Civ V since Friday night.

 

[The_Monk]

I just got Scratches, the trailer seems really good. I'm playing Lone Survivor and the game is truly great. Too bad many people won't give it a chance just because hur dur graphics

Lone Survivor was my Top game to get this sale and I kindly got it yesterday. Can't wait to start it. Still want to try Scratches. If you like it let me know.

 

[Gbraga]

I got the game through the last indiebundle, but I really want to play it with a Gamepad. Thats why I havent started it yet.

I didn't even know it has gamepad support, or are you going to use something to emulate it?

 

[morningbus]

I can't believe that Saints Row 3 is still mispriced. Crazy. Totally got me to buy it, though.

 

[The Wizard]

Is any of the new vegas dlc worth picking up if I'm only 8 hours into the game?

 

[LuffyZoro]

I'm actually having to dial back some settings in games like SR3, DX:HR, and Anno with my 570 (at 1080p). DX11 games roast my card. I try not to upgrade more often than every other generation though. Plus another hard drive is more of an emergency issue for me right now. 670GB used out of 700GB on my Steam drive.

Try my 9800GT. I'm just lucky I haven't run into any really major problems yet, but usually I have to play games on medium or less.

 

[Yoshichan]

I can't believe that Saints Row 3 is still mispriced. Crazy. Totally got me to buy it, though.

It's not supposed to be 7,49 euro?

 

[zerokoolpsx]

Wasn't planning to buy anything until Gaf starts linking the TLR at GMG. I caved so fast.

Went going into this sale with a budget of $60. That didn't last 3 days. Aimed for less than $100. Didn't last the next day. Aimed for less than $200. I did alright.
JaseC has everyone beat with his list. That's crazy.

 

[froliq]

It's not supposed to be 7,49 euro?

The collection pack is 13.29$ in NA. Euro price is not that much discounted.

 

[Chairmanchuck]

I didn't even know it has gamepad support, or are you going to use something to emulate it?

It doesnt have...

Thats why I havent started it yet. Would rather play it on my TV than on my TFT

 

[HoosTrax]

It's not supposed to be 7,49 euro?

The franchise pack looks like half the price it was intended to be.

 

[evilhomer]

I really do intend to play at least some of the games I've bought but all the talk about Crusader Kings 2 made me load up my old save and now I'm probably just going to get addicted to that again :/

 

[kadotsu]

Man, that took way too long.

 

[CronosBlade]

Someone have the link to the search page in store (or to the steam forum topic) that had all the like $3 and under games? I can't seem to find it and I swore I bookmarked it.

 

[Yoshichan]

Man, that took way too long.

30 thousand mb... what kind of game is this?

 

[LumpOfCole]

I can't believe that Saints Row 3 is still mispriced. Crazy. Totally got me to buy it, though.

Maybe it isn't a pricing error, but just a very shrewd decision by Volition or THQ or whoever sets the prices on behalf of Saints Row: The Third. The collection is the number 1 top seller on Steam right now, after all.

 

[Firebrand]

Man, that took way too long.

Lots of samurai to download.

Picked that game up during the holiday sales at a "great price", haven't played it yet and retail copies have been way cheaper since.

 

[JaseC]

I've seldom broke past ~100KBps all sale, and I'm synced at roughly 7Mb.

 

[HoosTrax]

Man, that took way too long.

I still have no idea why the game is so large.

The other, semi-random thing I'd like to point out is that the screenshots of Total War games always involve pretty looking closeups of the battles, but in practice, you're usually way zoomed out and looking at little people most of the time.

 

[Geoff9920]

I'll forgo this listing everything and just show the total spent...

Amazon: $82.45
Steam: $226.11

Total: $308.56



Well, there went part of my bonus from ealier this month.

 

[Milamber]

30 thousand mb... what kind of game is this?

Max Payne 3 says Hi.

 

[Cuban Legend]

Total: $70.62999

I'd say that for the price of 1 limited edition console game at launch, I did alright.

PCGAMING FTW, DOWN WITH CONSOLE PLEBS /lol

 

[Gibbo]

so the Steam sale ends in 2 hours? Anyone has a good recommendation for flight sims? Have about 12 bucks in my wallet

 

[Sysgen]

Anyone with an AMD card thinking of picking up that SR3 franchise deal for $13.29 there are apparently some lingering issues but I gather from this that they're still working on them.

Word from the Volition team on AMD issues:


Hey everyone,

It's been a few months since Saints Row: The Third hit Steam and as you know an issue has come up where certain AMD/ATi GPU's are experiencing micro-stuttering and general performance drops on capable machines. This has mostly been seen with cards in the 5xxx or 6xxx range.

Our team has provided multiple patches and updates attempting to correct this issue by adjusting key parts of Saints Row: The Third at the guidance of AMD/ATi, and they have shown mild improvement. Those with SLI no longer see micro-stuttering, and based on our performance tests, we've been able to increase overall performance. For those with affected cards, we're still not up the level of quality we all expect from a Volition game, and we thank you for your patience as we work with AMD for a solution. As soon as we have more updates regarding this issue, we'll be sure to let you know.

Thanks again,

VOLITION

Hey guys, I'm looking at Ys: origin, but is it important to buy the previous Ys for story content?

thanks, got it

 

[mclem]

I think it's atypical for the "The" to be counted when sorting alphabetically. Oblivion and Skyrim are sorted according to "E", instead of "T", for example ("The Elder Scrolls")

It always makes me do a double-take when trying to find Civilization, though. It's in the S section!

 

[JaseC]

Max Payne 3 says Hi.

Max Payne 3's download size is a little less than 29.7GB, IIRC.

What's Tom Clancy's HAWX in?

Max Payne 3's download size is a little less than 29.7GB, IIRC.

It's still huge, though.

[DukeBobby]

Loved my first Steam Sale, picked up many great games. Can somebody tell me when the Winter Sale usually starts?

 

[sorijealut]

Not even a little bit.

Yep. Well Felghana has better story though Imo.

 

[Fuzzy]

Someone have the link to the search page in store (or to the steam forum topic) that had all the like $3 and under games? I can't seem to find it and I swore I bookmarked it.

Games <$5

832 games to choose from.

 

[RionaaM]

Try my 9800GT. I'm just lucky I haven't run into any really major problems yet, but usually I have to play games on medium or less.

Strangely, my 9800GTX+ managed to run Max Payne 3 at maximum graphics (sans AA) at 1920x1080, with a great performance. Don't know the exact FPS, but it wasn't slow in the slightest. And here I was afraid my machine couldn't run the game

[Nairume]

I've got a couple bucks and am being indecisive about a last minute choice. GAF, which would you recommend over the others: Arx Falatis, Freedom Force vs the Third Reich, Wizorb, Psychonauts, or one of the New Vegas DLCs?

 

[Jirotrom]

Not even a little bit.

thanks!

 

[gdt]

Took me 8 hours to beat on normal difficulty. It's not a long game and it's not very hard, though it has annoying spots near the end.

Took me 12. I swear, I just seem to take forever. Spec Ops The Line took me 9 hours on the hardest difficulty.

 

[Gibbo]

Loved my first Steam Sale, picked up many great games. Can somebody tell me when the Winter Sale usually starts?

No please don't do this to yourself......

 

[JaseC]

It's still huge, though.

Very true.

 

[Empty Space]

Loved my first Steam Sale, picked up many great games. Can somebody tell me when the Winter Sale usually starts?

I believe its usually the Tuesday or Thursday before Christmas.

 

[Jirotrom]

which is the better game Ys: oath or Ys: origin?

 

[DukeBobby]

No please don't do this to yourself......

Haha, I'm guessing I've asked something I shouldn't have

 

[Fuzzy]

Excellent. I'm sure my wallet hates you, but thank you.

No problem. Just do an advanced search in the store to limit stuff.
