[jgminto]

Beat AW on 360 when it came out so I'll skip that but American nightmare seems like a crazy good deal.

 

[FloppyDelux]

eh fuck it AW bought...

aaand i dont have enough HDD space....

 

[Elginer]

Resounding yes for Alan Wake. To the pile it goes!
Casualties: $30.20
Space Marine
Armed and Dangerous
Call of Cthulhu
Lara Croft: GoL
Alan Wake franchise

if you're running Win 7 please let me know how Call of Cthulhu goes. I'm hesitant to jump on it simply because I heard it was buggy as all hell.

 

[pock3tmonster]

I just barely bought Half Life and Half Life 2 today for 5 bucks. My first time ever with the series and so far I sunk in about two hours into part 1. I'm enjoying it. I'd say hold off on L4D cause they might knock the price down even more with Flash deal or Daily deal.

Thanks, hopefully it'll be available at that prices again in a flash sale. I'll just grab Portal 2 for now and keep an eye out for the others.

Has anyone bought either Indie Bundle I or II? The Universe Sandbox in Indie Bundle II has caught my eye, but I'm not sold on the other games. Worth a buy?

 

[Salsa]

Does Alan Wake/American Nightmare play well with the keyboard & mousse, or should I dig out my wired 360 controller?

it's funny cause I actually went with comfy couch, as so famously claimed, lol. Used my wireless controller and hooked the PC to the TV and had an awesome experience. It works great either way.

I actually finished the game in like one 15 hour sitting. I really just cant recommend the game enough.

 

[manhack]

Wow totally snagged Alan Wake...Geez louise at that price

 

[Dog Problems]

Damn some of these flash deals are pretty great. I played Alan Wake on 360 but I think I'm willing to double dip for that price.

Yeah, that's a good enough deal to make me double dip. I haven't played the episodes, anyway.

 

[IblisGinjo]

My plan is almost everything I get I'll buy as gifts and then if I'm not going to play it I can easily give them away.

 

[MegaKungFuRadio]

I have no idea if I should get Revelations I really enjoyed all of the creed games.

It's not bad, it just isn't a step forward like ACII and ACB were. It just kind of exists, but if you want to play a game that is basically ACB, but a little worse, it's there.

 

[Gaspode_T]

Games I removed from cart at last second - Krater, King Arthur II, Robin Hood (some 2007 game LOL), Confrontation...

Confrontation looks good but the reviews are terrible...Krater so so too

 

[Elginer]

Seriously, if you've ever EVER been curious about Alan Wake, now is the time to jump on it. Awesome experience and beautiful looking game.

 

[Seraphis Cain]

Man, BIT.TRIP RUNNER is so damn good.

 

[Mechanized]

Had to jump on Alan Wake. $9.99 for all that content is ludicrous.

 

[Salsa]

Before the end of the sale, I may need someone from the UK to buy me the Who Wants to Be a Millionaire Collection. I'm putting that out there now.

check the OP son

 

[jgminto]

Fuck it. Bought the original as well. I never did play the DLC.

 

[Fantastical]

Yeah these dailies are really good. I'm going to feel bad if I miss Skyrim or something tomorrow when I'm on the road for 9 hours.

 

[Mayyhem]

oh man idk whether i should buy alan wake. funds are running low


ps; pleaseee vote for metro 2033 ! i've been wanting to play this game for a while now

 

[Beelzeboss]

So the second DLC is the only part of Alan Wake I never played. Is it worth getting along with American Nightmare?

I also wish there was a cheaper collection with just AM and Alan Wake. I don't want collector's stuff

 

[X05]

wow, these flash deals are killing it.
Alan Wake complete bought.

 

[derExperte]

how much better is Alan Wake on PC NeoGAF?

It's the definitive and only version anyone should ever play. Much sharper and overall better looking, runs smoother and has cool features like a free camera and fading HUD (or was that only AN?).

 

[MegaKungFuRadio]

Yeah these dailies are really good. I'm going to feel bad if I miss Skyrim or something tomorrow when I'm on the road for 9 hours.

Hope you have a phone.

 

[Huevos de Oro]

if you're running Win 7 please let me know how Call of Cthulhu goes. I'm hesitant to jump on it simply because I heard it was buggy as all hell.

I own it and run W7. Didn't get far because ADD, but the only nasty bug I got during my short time with the game was the one that prevents you from saving your progress. Googling it showed an easy fix though, something involving your system clock. After that everything was good (again, for the couple hours I played it).

 

[HiiiLife]

It's the definitive and only version anyone should ever play. Much sharper and overall better looking, runs smoother and has cool features like a free camera and fading HUD (or was that only AN?).

Hmmmm. So tempting. And I do need to stock up on my offline games. Might just press this purchase button...

 

[BadAss2961]

Mr. Scratch makes for a really compelling and entertaining villain in American Nightmare, but aside from him, AN is very thin story-wise. However, the gameplay is tighter, there is a larger variety of guns, and you can sprint for longer distances. It's great for fans, and I'd say the cheap price justifies the short, repetitive structure of AN.

So I take it that American Nightmare doesn't add anything significant to the main story? If so, that makes my decision to skip it a lot easier.

Why did you buy so many of those games already? a few of those are guaranteed to be a daily/flash deal and get cheaper.

 

[anddo0]

And my first purchase is: Alan Wake's American Nightmare.

 

[schnell]

If you aren't absolutely sure that you want a game but can't resist the deal, buy it as a gift and keep it in your inventory. That way you can either choose to add it to your library or trade it. When buyer's remorse sets in, you can at least get some of the value back. Plus it looks kinda cool to have the icons in your inventory. I'm personally buying all my Summer Sale stuff this way.

 

[GitarooMan]

Double dipped on Alan wake. Loved it on 360 and now I've got a new PC and want to see it in all its glory. Highly recommend this game if you havent played it.

 

[Dizzy-4U]

Alan Wake is mine. MINE!!!!

 

[Hero_of_the_Day]

Want that American Nightmare. I thought my bank had flagged my debit card for over use, but I just tried adding a credit card and it's giving me a non-descript error. Fuck.

 

[Flunkie]

My plan is almost everything I get I'll buy as gifts and then if I'm not going to play it I can easily give them away.

This is almost exactly what I do anymore.

 

[Curufinwe]

I bought American Nightmare since I already got 1400/1500 on the 360 version of Alan Wake.

 

[CountAntonius]

Just got Half Life Complete pack.

That makes 3 purchases so far.

 

[Mayyhem]

Lol you guys are going to make me cave and buy the whole alan wake bundle. must. resist.

Booyah

You failed to follow the ONLY rule.

 

[Servizio]

I had Half-Life Complete in my shopping cart while I went upstairs to grab my wallet, but returned to find the price had jumped up to $19.99 from $9.99...

Are sales/discounts repeated? I've never played any of the Half-Life titles and I was really looking forward to experiencing the franchise.

On another note, I have both Left 4 Dead titles in my cart for $9.99 each. Have they ever been cheaper? I don't want to miss out if the prices go up, but at the same time, if they've been available at a cheaper price, I'd rather hold out.

Check out this website: SteamGameSales.com

Left 4 Dead
Left 4 Dead 2

Both have been five bucks during their daily deals last Holiday sale.

If you're thinking about getting the Valve Complete Pack, I happen to have one in my inventory from the Holiday giveaway. I'd be happy to give it away for the paltry price of the Bethesda Pack. Or Skyrim. Or Skyrim when it's inevitably a Daily Deal. Probably that last one.

 

[Eternia]

Damn, only $10 for Alan Wake franchise is extremely tempting even after I already played the original + The Signal DLC on the 360. Will be a rough 11 hours to go before I decide...

Wise, oh so wise.

 

[Krappadizzle]

if you're running Win 7 please let me know how Call of Cthulhu goes. I'm hesitant to jump on it simply because I heard it was buggy as all hell.

I literally played it 2 weeks ago or so. CoC runs just fine on Win7 64-bit, with an Nvidia card. Don't know where the rumors stem from, but I played for 4 hours or so with no problems at all.

 

[bug_42]

if you're running Win 7 please let me know how Call of Cthulhu goes. I'm hesitant to jump on it simply because I heard it was buggy as all hell.

I have the original disk, and it works on Win 7

 

[Old Lace]

Is the Revelations DLC any good? I'm trying to decide between the normal and gold editions.

 

[Fox318]

It's not bad, it just isn't a step forward like ACII and ACB were. It just kind of exists, but if you want to play a game that is basically ACB, but a little worse, it's there.

Maybe I'll wait till AC3 comes out. Maybe it will be $10 or a bonus by then.

 

[Cydonian__Knight]

That Alan Wake deal is really tempting. So far today I've just bought Trine 2.

 

[legacyzero]

Alan Wake American Nightmare
The Binding Of Isaac
E.Y.E.: Divine Cybermancy
Wings of Prey
Lone Survivor


Will power YES! Now if Capcom and Ubisoft will get off their ass and give me some nice daily deals, my sale will be complete!

-Driver San Fran Sisco
-Lost Planet 1/2
-Dead Rising 2

 

[Fuzzy]

Why did you buy so many of those games already? a few of those are guaranteed to be a daily/flash deal and get cheaper.

Someone should keep track and figure out how much he could've saved when the Summer Sale is over.

 

[Gaspode_T]

sadly the Booyah is on when all those games are featured as dailies later on

bah, I really don't want to run the credit a bunch of times, it is only likely to get it locked down (trust me running a credit card from overseas is like proving that you are not a scammer every single time)

The indie games probably are not likely to be featured? I doubt Dues Ex or Fallout would either, who knows...

 

[Elginer]

So I take it that American Nightmare doesn't add anything significant to the main story? If so, that makes my decision to skip it a lot easier.

You'd be surprised at what it hints to for a sequel. I don't want to ruin it but if you're a fan of Lovecraft you'll really dig it.

 

[anddo0]

would it be stupid to purchase the Alan Wake franchise, if I already own Alan Wake (standalone) from GOG?

 

[Fantastical]

Hope you have a phone.

A phone? Yes.
A smartphone? No.
