Prince of Persia Complete Pack says it is on a flash sale right now, $15 for 5 games!

http://store.steampowered.com/sub/8233/

Fuck, yesterday I said I'd pick it up if it was $15, but now I'm not so sure... I don't want to blow half of my Steam Wallet on day 3.

 

[sorijealut]

Seems to be an error. Wasn't supposed to show up yet. Apparently you can still buy it if interested, though.

steam bug?

Oh wow, good discovery! interesting.

 

[toddhunter]

Oh man, I have downloaded around 80GB in just the last 3 days. My ISP is gonna shut this shit down.

If they are smart, your ISP has a steam mirror server and couldn't care less.

 

[Katoki]

Any thoughts on Two Worlds 2? Last 2 games I've finished are Skyrim and Mass Effect 3 so I could use another RPG.

http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2637932

If you can get past that, people seem to love the game for the most part.. I believe it was the fluidity of combat and running around? Coming from Skyrim and ME3 you'll definitely see it but getting past that it looks good.

 

[dragonflys545]

my limit was $50 buck... Already down $30

Orc must die GOTY
Ys Origin
The Witcher 2

I just might break down, take my wallet out, and give them another $50 xD

Well it seems to be a glitch/error so the decision making is gonna be harder imo

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

I'm going to be pretty goddamn pissed if I just spent $30 on a game with no achievements.

Seems reasonable.

 

[Artofwar420]

If I didn't have Civ V and most of the DLC I'd totally jump on that Civ Collection. INSANE VALUE!

This one has been under the radar, but the first one was a fucking great platformer, and I'm adding this to my watchlist so I can keep an eye on it in case it goes on a secret flash sale.

[Bentendo]

So apparently during one of those indie bundles a couple of months ago I got a game called 'The Ship' and didn't realize that I had a giftable copy of the game as well. I've never heard of it and don't really intend on playing it, but if you want to add a game to your library that you don't already have, then just quote this and you'll get it.

BTW: My Steam name is either bentendo24 or vegeben, so add me so I can send you the gift.

Do I need to play the first Witcher in order to enjoy Witcher 2?

No. I can't remember if there is a recap or not. But, you can just jump into the game and read Geralt and Triss' bio and you'll be good to go.

edit- woops too later

 

[Proc]

quick gaf...which civ 5 dlc is worth it? I guess I'll grab gods and kings at that price too. I only have the base game right now from launch and love playing it the odd time.

Also...binding of isaac? Is it fun?

 

[HenryHSH]

I made the mistake of logging out of steam... Can't log back in. It says Updating Steam but nothing happens. why now

 

[Ceebs]

Does Witcher 2 play better with 360 controller or KB/M?

Depends on who you ask. I played with the KB/M after wanting to throw the controller at something trying to navigate menus with it. Some people will swear by the 360 pad for it though.

How did you get the Prince of Persia complete pack for 2.50?

 

[Hoplatee]

I want to play a game I bought recently. But which one?

*3 minutes later*

Ah screw it, back to playing something I already installed way before this sale.

 

[fluffydelusions]

I'm at $85.

$125 myself but someone here said they already passed $150

 

[Hero_of_the_Day]

Does Witcher 2 play better with 360 controller or KB/M?

I personally played it twice with 360 controller. I don't know why the keyboard controls didn't click with me. Getting through menus is a bit of a pain with controller, but you get used to it. Not like you're in the menus non stop or anything. It's not a loot game.

 

[toddhunter]

quick gaf...which civ 5 dlc is worth it? I guess I'll grab gods and kings at that price too. I only have the base game right now from launch and love playing it the odd time.

None. It has steam workshop support, so pick that apart first.

Also...binding of isaac? Is it fun?

Nup.

 

[fluffydelusions]

God damn...

And everything was either daily or flash

I really, really hated Binding of Isaac, but other people liked it. So idk, buy at your own risk?

My complaints were: Shitty controls, bad graphics (simple is not necessarily bad, but I felt here they were just bad), completely random dungeons led to a feeling of "uninspiredness". Just felt really repetitive and bland.

Listen to some opposing opinions first though, maybe it's your cup of tea. For the record, I generally like this genre of game

 

[Awesome Animals]

Thank god this isn't a Steam Sales Anonymous thread because it's filled with enablers.

First step in SSAis to stop buying and clear out your backlog.

 

[O.DOGG]

To buy Max Payne 3...to not buy Max Payne 3...

I mean, it'll be $30 again eventually...right? I've only spent $5 so far, and my limit is pretty low cause I'm being a cheap bastard.

Well, I enjoyed (still am) the hell out of it. My game of the year so far. Playing through it for the fifth time. It's definitely not for everyone, as some people seem to hate it.

To me it's the most fun I've had shooting people since... I don't even remember. It doesn't have the vibe of the original two games but I think it may be even better. Amazing level of detail, great graphics... If you can spend that much, I think you won't be disappointed. But I've seen polarized opinions, so you may also want to hear someone else's before pulling the trigger.

Hell ya Binding of Isaac is fun. I've sunk over 100 hours into that damn game. It's great because it runs on my work computer so I can do a run or two when I feel like taking a break. If you do decide to buy it make sure you buy the DLC as a gift. The DLC changes the game permanently and it makes the game a bit harder. You probably want to feel comfortable with the base game before adding the DLC otherwise you will spend your first 50+ deaths learning how to not die.

As for Civ V DLC I would say the extra Civilizations are probably the best add on. They can help to add variety to games.

Do I have to change the button layout, or is it the same as the 360 version?

 

[hitmon]

I've held out from getting Witcher 2 so far..but now CIV V flash deal is just killing me to buy. I must resist.. Any feedback on how Civ V is? I haven't played a Civ game since CIV III.

 

[RionaaM]

Well it seems to be a glitch/error so the decision making is gonna be harder imo

I think I'll pass. I'm not desperate to have them, and surely they will be cheaper come winter sale.
As my first Steam sale ever, may I ask if it's normal to spend more time watching the prices and promotions than actually playing the games I bought? As in a 99:1 ratio?

 

[yogloo]

Just one more game would not hurt, right?

I just cant find myself playing older Civ´s after newer one comes out. I just bought CIV V GOTY + few extra DLC for ~11€. Not a bad deal too.

 

[Quixzlizx]

Just bought a bunch of Civ V DLC civs. I wish G&K had a better sale going.

 

[Herbert Moon]

So what's the verdict on Two Worlds 2 and it's dlc expansion? I remember when it first came out on PC, some users were hyping it up so much (dennis4k or something like that?), and after it had been released for a while, many users were acting like it was total shit.
