[Krappadizzle]

Well, I'm in the OP as someone who is willing to help someone get a game for cheap. PM me if someone wants Alice. Lemme know, I see it for $5.00.

 

[Empty Space]

I think i want alice. Do i want alice guys?

I bought it. Join me.

PS: This is post is just to piss of that guy complaining about peer pressure into buying.

 

[Snkfanatic]

Ok...I can go to sleep now after waiting for those deals. Damnit Gabe what have you done to me

 

[TGMIII]

Assassins Creed pack for £28.94, what do you guys think? How bad is the ubisoft DRM, I sort of don't want to have more launchers that individually update but this seems like a pretty good deal.

 

[I H8 Memes]

Is the Batman Arkham City skins pack only for preorders or maybe just certain regions? I dont see a price on it in the U.S. store.

 

[badbrains]

Only...two....hours....until....sleep

 

[Smash88]

Alice is a hate or love game.

A lot of people either hate it or love it on GAF especially.

I think it has one of the best art styles in a game. But it does get somewhat repetitive over the course of the game.

So take that for what you will. Just don't come back going you lied GAF!

 

[jaundicejuice]

Man why in the fuck is The Force Unleashed 30gbs? It's not like it's a badass PC port with higher resolution/source textures and all kinds of bells and whistles.

 

[Bentendo]

Kingdoms of Amlaur was just on sale at Amazon a few days ago, so I don't really buy the whole notion that a game can't go on sale if the studio is down. Who allowed it to go on sale? No idea, but maybe we could ask Tony about it.

 

[kami_sama]

Should I buy the Ass Creed pack? I don't think it will be cheaper in the sale.

In retail and digital other than steam, the pub is EA and is the one that makes the decision, in Steam, the pub is 38 studios, and they can't make decisions because they're under.

I stupidly gave a friend my Alice key so he could use it on Origin. That was before I ever booted up the game on Steam. Now I'm stuck with a game I can never play and I can't even rebuy it on Steam to get a new key.

In before eternally argument if Alice is good or complete shit.

I think it is both....kind of like Alan Wake. If you plan to play half of it only, and like checking out some nice graphics and art style, buy away. If you want a fun game experience and don't like putting up with bullshit, avoid, because the actual "game" parts are really boring and repetitive.

I agree with your thoughts on Alice. Really liked the art style and voice acting, and I enjoyed the occasional mini-game to give you a break from the platforming. The combat was pretty solid as well. But the game felt about 4 hours too long IMO. Some of the chapters really dragged on to the point that I just wanted to get it over with and head to the next beautifully twisted environment.

Still, for $5, it's worth trying.

The Amazon version is published by EA while the Steam version was self-published, afaik.

You were three extra letters away from your own answer

 

[Levyne]

yeah in 2 hours there will be a good window for sleep since the flash deals and community deal will all have reset...lol

Only way to buy it is from the DLC pack or Batman pack.

You're kidding... Oh God, maybe we are screwed.

So the key doesnt work on Steam anymore? Maybe someone could buy it and gift it to you and that would work?

 

[Einbroch]

Binding of Isaac. Man, dunno. Either I'm just not getting it or I'm just not gonna like it. The twin-stick shooter feel without it really being a twin-stick shooter is throwing me for a loop. Throw in the "bending" tears and I just don't think I'll ever get into it.

 

[Megasoum]

Yeah but the deals that will pop up in 2 hours will be up for like 10-12 hours no? That still give you plenty of time to sleep.

 

[Thatoneguy]

Disappointed in the newest flash deals, but Alan Wake set the bar high. Still nice deals on Alice and Football Manager.

My wallet is safe for at least two hours.

 

[Red Blaster]

wtf RE5 has literally no discount at all and is still at MSRP?

woooooooooooooow

capcom deserves to be burned to the ground

 

[Levyne]

But I want to see that flash deal and the new vote the moment they go up, lol

 

[Unknown Soldier]

Thanks for the answers guys. I picked up just Space Marine so I can shoot/slice Space Orks.

I bet Gaben is going to wait until the last day for Skyrim. ;_;

 

[Universaldamps]

I was going to buy might and magic clash of heroes. Twas 75% off just as a part of the regular sale. It's now showing up as 33% off for no good reason. Am I missing something here?

 

[AlexBasch]

Alice is $12.49 in Mexico.

We get shafted with the Dead Space 2 Steam at that same price whenever it's on sale.

I have 15 bucks in my Steam wallet. Fuckfuckfuckfuck, I need to minimize Steam and stick only to my shopping list.

Goddammit.

 

[Kryptonite]

It was part of the daily deal.

I felt similar to this feeling, but trust me the game just becomes addicting. I didn't like it at first, but it has good depth and the difficulty is just perfect. The game has depth, surprisingly.

 

[wandering goat]

Got Alan Wake just now - great price, wasn't really expecting that. Picked up Trine 2 in the morning as well, gotta love Steam sales.

I went back to play some mercenaries recently and gfwl ate my save file, so I would have to beat the single player game again to play mercenaries. Fuck that game.

(see also: my thoughts on bioshock 2 and gfwl)

 

[Barrow Roll]

Never played the first Alice and it's not on Steam. Is it still worth it?

 

[Kabuki Waq]

well always wanted to try Alice....

 

[Thoraxes]

Woo, Alice.

It was 75% off during the Heroes of Might and Magic VI daily deal yesterday.

If you can paypal $5 I can get it for you. If not maybe check the trading thread and see if maybe someone would buy it for you in exchange for a game that is $5 on Mexico Steam.

Alice shows the price of 12.50 here in Venezuela. PMing you.

Oh right. Blasts, I didn't realize. Oh well :-(

You can't gift a game that someone already owns.

[scorpscarx]

Alice is a good game if only for the really cool looking real world parts, and thanks Steam for these 10 hour flash deals, I can finally sleep easy tonight.

 

[bobnowhere]

Galactic Civlisations II: Ulitmate Edition or Sins of a Solar Empire: Trinty. Which one is going to make me feel more like I'm playing MOO2 again?

(Obviously I'll wait for a potenial daily/flash deal.)

 

[Exuro]

.

Yes. Flash deals are most likely the cheapest sales on Steam.

 

[I H8 Memes]

Talk to Steam support about getting it removed from your games list. In the mean time maybe see if you could get someone you know to buy it at $5 and store it until you get the old one removed.


Anybody needs help buying anything from the U.S. store just add me.

Is there a way to play these Steam games using a normal xbox 360 controller? Or do I need to buy a xbox 360 PC controller? I just got Alan Wake American Nightmare and would like to play it with a controller not a keyboard + mouse.

 

[old manatee]

Oops, double post.

 

[neoemonk]

Sins of a Solar Empire is 9.99 until the 23rd. Should I wait and see if it gets cheaper?

 

[Anticitizen One]

I think i want alice. Do i want alice guys?

Yes if you enjoy innovative and fun games with outstanding art direction and deep storytelling.

The xbox 360 "pc" controller is just a wired xbox 360 controller. If you have one already, you can use that. If you only have a wireless controller, you'll have to buy a wireless receiver to plug into the PC
