The first witcher is on sale for $2.49. Is it a good game? Is it recommended to be played before the Witcher 2?

The Witcher 1 is definitely a good game, and one of the better WRPGs released this gen. However, it's sort of dated in some aspects, and has a 'rhythm based' combat system, which focuses on you timing your clicks instead of being hack n' slashy. If you go into it knowing that it's a little dated you should enjoy it. It has a good story and good characters.

Playing the Witcher 1 before #2 is not required, the stories are mostly separate. However the first game is a good introduction to the world and some of the main characters, and the end of that game sets up the premise of the sequel.

A lot of people will say #2 is a lot better than #1, but in my opinion they're both good games with their own strengths and weaknesses. Witcher 2 definitely has better graphics and is more modernized though, while the first game is a little more old school.

Sticking to this $20 budget is really, REALLY hard.

Go sell plasma or sperm or kidneys.

 

[SteeloDMZ]

Try adding funds to your steam wallet with the same card than use the funds to buy the game.

Damn, I tried that but I get the same error.

I wan't to buy games! Why can't I buy games?!

Anyone else find it funny that valve told users to stop trading games in the summer camp group?

Here's a thought. If he has a big ass, he could have it sliced off and smoked then sold as fine roast beef at the deli!

That's right brother, sell your ass as lunchmeat!

 

[derExperte]

Everyone please vote LA Noire I need it for 5USD. My Amazon download never worked so that was 5 dollars in the toilet.

Consider yourself lucky, I clicked on Amnesia but it seems to have counted towards Noire.

Anyway, I wish they would use the flashdeals for lesser known, older titles. How about.... World in Conflict or something similar low profile?

 

[jokingbird]

Anyone have a borderlands GotY 4-pack going? Can you PM me.

 

[monocle_wearing_hyrax]

Anyone have any impressions for Post Morterm and Still Life 1 and 2. Are they meant to be horror or just mystery. Any information and impressions would be appreciated, thank you.

 

[Warnen]

Got Two worlds 2 pack for my new MBPr, hope its cools not many mac games out there.

also got witchier 1, at $2.50 I'll double dip, never played my windows copy.

 

[$h@d0w]

Haha, I waited for Witcher 1 and will save $2.50!!!

 

[PaulLFC]

It was very blunt too, the title and a one line sentence. "There is no trading in this group" - not that most will listen, so the title is inaccurate

 

[TxdoHawk]

Man I'm still on the fence about Skyrim.

$30 is a lot in Steam sale money, but the way it's selling at that price, I don't expect a better price anytime soon. Plus it's one of the games I built a new desktop for, so I bit.

 

[legacyzero]

What does this mean, if I but Witcher 2??

System Requirements: Requires file system support for files up to 8 GB

Man I hope my PC can run this. It says it recommends a 4850 and I have a 4890, so I'll be ok right??

 

[Cromat]

Still can't buy anything :/

it's just like the amazon sales thread where that guy wouldnt officially condone using a US address for people in other regions, but they know it goes on. The just cant endorse it.

 

[Heart Attack]

So far today i've gotten:

Binding of Isacc + DLC
Knights of the Old Republic
Witcher


Keep the sales coming Gabe.

If anyone is selling a renegade ops, or L4D 2 pls pm.

If only we could do this in Mexico. If only. :')

You won't regret it. That game was worth $50-60. The current deal is great.
I spent 70 hours in the game and when I stopped playing there was still a ton to do and explore. I plan on going back to it at some point in time. It's a lot better than previous entries in the series too.

 

[Tukker]

anyone still got a spot open for the renegade group pack?

My computer sucks, has 2GB of ram, a 9800GTX+ and is running XP. I can play the witcher 2 without issue (not max setting of course, but still)

I dont think you're going to see it any cheaper than what Amazon is selling it for at the moment.

It activates on Steam too! Today is the last day.

 

[Jasper Avenue]

My favorite purchase of the sale so far has to be Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes. What a fun game.

That's so goddamn tempting.

Also the boxart has an E on it.

The witcher 2 ran fine on my system

radeon 4850
4gb ram
e8400

 

[snoopeasystreet]

There's no reason to buy L4D 1 if you have 2, right?

 

[legacyzero]

If it helps you, I think it's my sleeper hit of the year so far. And yeah, That game is everything but an E rating LOL.

There's no reason to buy L4D 1 if you have 2, right?

for the asking price, you really should, especially if you like mods and customer campaigns. The first has quote a bit more than the second, but at least you can download the Silent Hill customer Campaign for both games. Its awesome if you have a couple hours on your hands.

 

[spiderman123]

For those who grabbed Spec Ops you may run into resolution problems. I did when I bought the bundle this morning. Anyone who needs help changing the resolution, PM me and I will gladly walk you through it.

I ran it with a ATI 4890, Amd phenom II x4 955, and 4 gigs of ram. At 1600x900 it ran good.

 

[bill0527]

Man I'm still on the fence about Skyrim.

I bought it full price, and I thought it was worth it based on the fact I've got 80 hours into it so far and still have a ton of side quests to finish.

But...if you've got a considerable back log and don't feel the need to get into it right now, then I'd wait for the December sale where it will probably be cheaper.

 

[Alex]

I've spent close to 180 between this and the Amazon stuff. I haven't even gotten any big pricers like Max Payne 3 or Spec Ops either, just padding in a ton of misc stuff, ooof. This is my first real Steam sale so I had a lot of options, though.

My most expensive purchase is just that 15 dollar Witcher 2 that's up now.

It'll take a fucking long time, but I'll play through most of this too. Already almost done with Trine 2 and Alan Wake, allllriggghttt.

I think I'm largely done now though. I was originally planning on getting the Walking Dead but unless it drops further I think I'll pass for now and I've been waiting for a good sale on New Vegas for a couple months.

Yeah, I'm not sure why you're worrying.

 

[Hero_of_the_Day]

Anyone else?

That's the game I was trying to buy last night when my whole account got locked out from buying anything. Got the same error, took hours to let me buy anything after that. Either a weird coincidence, or something is up with PixelJunk Eden.

 

[spiderman123]

I always test games on "CanIRunIT" to see if I have the optimal settings.

I don't really think it get's easier. It seems like I still spend $150 every single Steam sale. More games seem to be coming to the PC and every time I sale rolls around there is at least 10-15 titles that I really want, as well as a bunch of indie gems that are worth checking out.

How long is the single player campaign?

I will never touch the multiplayer.

 

[Unicorn]

Is that the best sale we are going to see for arma2? Any speculation?

I'm thinking we'll get a better deal. Skyrim got better.

 

[Angry Fork]

Can anyone with strategy background recommend me a game? I'm looking for something that's like nationstates.net where you make decisions about society, laws etc. and those come to fruition. I assume in games you would get to see the effects of those decisions, as well as much more detailed stuff.

I'd like to build cities, see what would happen if you organized people to work in a certain way or what would happen to an economy if you did this that etc. as well as how people would react in the game if you instituted laws they disagreed with or agreed with and so on. Is there any game that comprehensive? Basically a dictator/god simulator? Like The Sims but on a much more grand scale.

 

[sorijealut]

Ys Origin destroyed me twice already, I've had to return to a much earlier save file.

I hope I'm not alone.

 

[Shining Sunshine]

No one should buy at 20%, that's a lame sale.

Come on $5 Amnesia! Been waiting to buy that game for fucking ever. It's time.

Does either game bear any resemblance to the Souls games with respect to combat?

I clocked just over 6 hours on Normal difficulty.

Hope you're wearing a diaper if you do buy it. :lol

Can't have your filesystem formatted FAT32. Your (windows) OS should be formatted NTFS which is fine. Check your filesystem by rightclicking your HDD and click properties and check the file system.

Hmmmmmm

Fuck it I'll just buy it.

[SteeloDMZ]

So I'm reading that other people are having my same problem of not being able to purchase stuff from Steam because the IP is different to the one used with the billing address (WTF?)

Any idea on how to fix this. I've used different browsers, waited a few minutes but still can't buy shit.

I'm gonna miss the good stuff!

 

[Bri]

Hmm, just realized that Indie Game the Movie got a 50% discount. Tempting. But I won't brake any rules.
