Haha, I noticed Alan Wake going on Flash Sale before I dozed off, then I woke up in the middle of the night thinking, "I NEED TO GET ALAN WAKE!" to which I hazily stumbled to my computer, vision blurry, making the few clicks necessary to get the franchise pack. Then I stumbled back to bed and slept for the rest of the night.

Gabe, what have you done to me.

Haha I can totally imagine that happening to me. Can't miss out on those killer deals.

Pretty much; it's an ongoing process. When I reinstalled Steam earlier in the year and moved my steamapps folder back, about half of my games were converted.

I did the same thing when I installed a new SSD/OS but almost all my games went "do not automatically update" Don;t think there is a Steam-wide thing to turn them all back on at once either.

 

[Tomodachi]

So I've decided to get Max Payne 3. It's so much cheaper in the UK, can any kind soul from over there gift it to me? Will paypal in advance, pay the fees myself etc.

Really? Ok, no thanks then, what are other 4 player coop games to keep an eye out for?

Instead of listing several games i will give you one of my favorites. If you haven't tried already go for Sanctum. It's as CooP as you can possibly get, there's a planification stage where you need to share strategies with the others and an action part.

 

[Stephen_drewz]

Anyone from US wanna help me with Alice before the sales up??

That sounds cool! Thanks

Spent £20 so far (Max Payne 3, Street Fighter) was interested in some of the indie packs for Botanicula and Lone Survivor but I have all of the others already. Is Alan Wake worth £5?

Thankyou kindly.

So.. Does Darksiders get better at some point ? I have been playing for two hours, and it is mind numbing. I was hoping for a little more zelda and a little less god of war.

IMO it gets worse. The whole Zelda comparison gets played up way too much. It's basically a game that constantly locks you in a room and forces you to mash the controller for 5 minutes before proceeding to the next. Rinse and repeat constantly.

Are you checking the framerate with FRAPS? Because I'm getting 30 fps and it does indeed feel like slow-motion.

Something seems messed up, because Rayman Origins could run at 1080P/60fps on a calculator. It's shocking how little the CPU & GPU are utilized if you check the graphs while playing.

There isn't, but there really needs to be. Nothing is more annoying than needing to use Offline Mode and finding that Steam has detected but not downloaded an update for the game you want to play, having at some prior point dimwittedly disabled automatic updates, therefore rendering said game temporarily useless.

Edit: I can't type tonight.

Yes. It's a game I love, but not everyone does. Even then, I think it's well worth 5 pounds. And I shall suggest you to buy the entire series, AN is in some regards better than the original one.

 

[Nemesis121]

Wake up to see Bioshock 2 won when I wanted Metro, oh well, voted for QUBE already own the other 2...

 

[soultron]

Dang it. Can't believe M2033 didn't get it.

 

[Dingotech]

Dang it. Can't believe M2033 didn't get it.

Get it from Greenmangaming.

Also it's been on sale for $5 a whole heap of times already.

 

[Cloudius12]

Dang it. Can't believe M2033 didn't get it.

At least there is still the GMG offer if though they may not have Steam keys right now.

 

[Danneee]

Started downloading the Space Marine demo. Then, being too impatient, found myself just buying the full game instead. Damn you steam!

 

[snoopeasystreet]

Dang it. Can't believe M2033 didn't get it.

It goes down to €2.50 fairly regularly. I wouldn't worry about it.

 

[1-D_FTW]

Yeah. That game's on sale for 5.00 dollars constantly. And it's Steamworks, so it doesn't matter where you get it.

 

[Uthred]

Ended up with a spare copy of AC: Revelations Gold, if anyone missed it drop me a line

 

[Cfuentes]

Holy shit.
I wake up at 4am and 7am only to check the flash deals from my iphone.
Gabe, you monster!

 

[JoeBoy101]

Up to $45 and 8 games bought so far, running a $5 a game average. Steam you magnificent bastard!

Added Alan Wake (triple dip, bought twice on 360), American Nightmare, and Alice to the mix. My desktop (recently played or new games) is the fullest its been in a while.

 

[Spierek]

Finally forced my credit card into submission and got Alice: Madness Returns and Alan Wake's American Nightmare (loved the first one) for 6,74 GBP. They'll be a welcome addition to my neverending pile of "would like to play but...".

 

[Tomodachi]

Just wanted to thank milesdm who hooked me up with Max Payne 3 from the UK, awesome guy!

 

[old manatee]

Dang it. Can't believe M2033 didn't get it.

I can't understand the love that game gets. It has some interesting elements, but I found the combat broken to the point where I had to give up halfway through it after playing one bit dozens of times.

 

[Toma]

I think it's a great game. It's very "90s" or "late 00s" in terms of design, with tons of hidden areas, and it can get pretty hard on the higher difficulties.

I agree with Durante. Fantastic experience.

 

[toddhunter]

I think all the love is because when you buy a powerful PC, it is one of the few games that makes you actually happy you purchased a powerful PC.

It is worth it for that factor.

 

[Enco]

Is it just me or are the steam download speeds slightly slower and less consistent?

 

[DSix]

I'm still hoping for an Arkham City Deal. Bummed it didn't get voted as a community one.

 

[Dilly]

American Nightmare for €3? BOUGHT!

 

[LabouredSubterfuge]

Holy shit.

Gabe, you monster!

I hear you I found my self doing the same thing...this madness needs to stop before the wife kills me....but I just can't pass up good games for so cheap damn you GABEN!

 

[Mr. Poolman]

Holy shit.
I wake up at 4am and 7am only to check the flash deals from my iphone.
Gabe, you monster!

I'm doing this right now ;_;

 

[Toppot]

I voted for QUBE because I've wanted it for ages, of course, I did check I didn't have it already...

I'm an idiot

 

[toddhunter]

I hear you I found my self doing the same thing...this madness needs to stop before the wife kills me....but I just can't pass up good games for so cheap damn you GABEN!

My wife asked me today..."why did you get up so early this morning?". Didn't know where to start.

 

[Giran]

Thanks for hooking me up with Alice, Cloudius12.

 

[Toma]

My wife asked me today..."why did you get up so early this morning?". Didn't know where to start.

Same happened to me yesterday. Gf was totally puzzled about me getting up this early.

 

[Antiwhippy]

My wife asked me today..."why did you get up so early this morning?". Didn't know where to start.

Honesty is probably the best way to talk about it.

Probably.

Like me trying to add HL2 Ep 1 to my cart only to find that I have it.

Bastard.

 

[Kageshinzo]

Tell her you have a date with Gaben.

 

[Mr. Poolman]

Honesty is probably the best way to talk about it.

Probably.

"I'm going to see if there is a game I want to buy but probably won't play" is a can of worms waiting to happen.

Gentlemen. We have a problem

 

[Tomodachi]

Gabe will alter the way the world sleeps. One little step towards the new world order. Illuminati!

 

[Sadist]

What's your Steam username?

Yo dude, pass me die naam ook

 

[toddhunter]

"I'm going to see if there is a game I want to buy but probably won't play" is a can of worms waiting to happen.

Gentlemen. We have a problem

It is worse:

"Well there is this big sale on, and they change the games every 8 hours or so...and I wanted to get up so I could vote for what the next discount would be"

"but if you want the game, why don't you just buy it?"

"Well it isn't about getting a game, I just need to vote to work toward upgrading my steam summer sale badge"

"but it is winter?"

"yeah but Summer for American's"

"hmm, ok, so what does the badge do?"

"....."

 

[Double]

Thanks Cloudius for your help with US-Alice!

 

[Addnan]

Sonic Generations is pretty fun so far and runs great.

Also I am an idiot. Forgot to buy Half Life 1 yesterday.

 

[Kageshinzo]

Can someone be so kind as to give me a price check on Arkham City? GFWL didn't seem to think we Southeast Asians are worthy to purchase the game.

Also, is the DRM on that as atrocious as they say?
