If you live in Sweden it's 99 SEK on CDON.COM, free delivery and registers on Steam.

Ok, that's certainly a nicer price. Not all that interested in it anyway, I just thought the price discrepancy was rather outrageous.

 

[JaseC]

So tempted by RAGE and Assassins Creed pack, I only own Assassins creed 1 but im dying to play the rest.

Why cant RAGE be 7.50 or less, it would have been an insta buy.

Does RAGE run fine on an AMD HD 7970 card?

Should work just fine provided you're using the latest drivers. The game doesn't need a lot of GPU power; any performance issues people are encountering are purely driver related.

 

[Yoshichan]

Well for you young'uns, KOTOR is basically Mass Effect with a Star Wars setting. Very formulaic -- you can see all the same little influences that would eventually go into making ME.

It was kinda frustrating reading all the KotR reviews (10s and GotYs) but not being able to play it when it was fresh... never owned an Xbox and didn't have a good PC at that time! I can't wait!

 

[brandonh83]

Is anyone else's Steam transactions not appearing on their bank statements? They appear as pending, but then vanish after that. I mean, I'm sure that they'll probably reappear but it creeps me out.

 

[Grimm Fandango]

The fuck, the Assassins pack doesnt come with Brotherhood deluxe edition , was about to bite until I noticed this, so weak

DE is not worth it at all. Getting the regular Brotherhood is fine (Da Vinci DLC is included free on PC anyway).

edit: also the pack does include the DE so not sure if it's a region thing.

I just want to say that Gemini Rue is an amazing underlooked gem. I can't say too much without spoilers, but the game has an amazing world, characters, and story matched with a very interesting aesthetic and gameplay design to the adventure genre. Essentially imagine more 'survival' scenarios and combat added to an adventure game... IT sounds weird but the game does a good job at teaching a more strategic combat system and it's actually a lot of fun. I hope others gush to explain it better, but I will say there's a reason those who played it, critics and gamers, loved it both.

I would of liked it more if my save file didn't get corrupted when steam updated the game

 

[Dacvak]

For anyone wondering,

RAGE IS AWESOME.

It's just raw shootin' and drivin', and both felt great to me. I know a lot of people give it crap, but I just loved that game. It looks wonderful, the gameplay is incredible, and - haters gonna hate - I liked driving around.

For $10, it's really a great game. Don't hesitate if you're interested.


---------------------


Now, can someone tell me... Does this Assassin's Creed pack contain every game? I've got none of them, so I'm thinking this is a good buy for me.

I want this bad, I hope I don't miss it if it goes on sale

From the Assassin's Creed Pack page:

"About the Game
Package includes Assassin's Creed Brotherhood: Deluxe Edition despite only having Assassin's Creed Brotherhood listed among the included games."

 

[CosmicQueso]

I'm on the fence with Dear Esther... Looks interesting, but how long is it? Does it tell any type of story?

It is all story, but subtle. It's an experience more than a game, but one worth taking. Took me about 2 hours, but I didn't rush through. You don't shoot anyone, there is no leveling up, no RPG elements lite or otherwise. It's a story you exist in. I enjoyed it very much, but if you need to shoot things in your games you won't.

 

[DyslexicAlucard]

Something beat the daily deal. Shogun 2 DLC is cheaper now during the flash sale than it was during the daily, same with Ass Creed Rev.

Revelations is the same price as it was during the flash sale. And DLC usually isn't included in flash sale pricing, I've noticed so far. You can usually tell this when its discount is substantially less than the game's.

 

[Abomination]

Did the background just change or was it like that before?

It changes with the daylies, look at the bottom of this page for the shots: summercamp

 

[RS4-]

How broken is Kotor 1 on Win7?

 

[Snuggles]

Thank you sir!!! I really look forward to it~

Mission might dethrone Tali as your digital waifu.

I know the Hattori and Ikki Ikki Clan packs were $2.99 during the sale and are 1.29 now

 

[Fixed1979]

People liked Rage?

Very much so. It has it's issues, but the id still knows gunplay and it's one of the things this game does very very well.

I picked up RAGE for $5 and I regret it. Saying that the performance is horrible is an understatement.

I didn't think the performance was that bad, unless you're not on Team Green and I think they've long sense fixed the issues. Texture pop-in definitely exists but it didn't really bother me.

 

[bigace33]

Well for you young'uns, KOTOR is basically Mass Effect with a Star Wars setting. Very formulaic -- you can see all the same little influences that would eventually go into making ME.

Complete with a lame ending to boot. In all seriousness Kotor was amazing, but man the ending just felt really lackluster to me. Great pick up for $2 and change though. It really does feel like Mass Effect with low res graphics too.

 

[zephervack]

Ahh cool, I will buy the pack then, didnt know the PC version came with the Da Vinci pack.

And RAGE, damn, so many mixed reviews here , still on the fence.

 

[Gareth Bale]

Anyone can answer these questions, please? ;_;

The soundtrack is pretty amazing

 

[haikira]

I'm glad a lot of people seem to be interested, in picking up Dustforce, if it goes on sale. Couldn't recommend it more. I paid full price and i'm very happy with the purchase. If it goes on sale, don't think twice.

 

[Thrakier]

No one should buy Ass Creed. They'll only make more of those games if you buy them! Don't!

 

[Toppot]

dear esther... bought!

Same! Been waiting for a price drop, now is the time!

 

[Chaos]

Anybody who likes card games such as Magic the Gathering would do well to check out this game Spectromancer.

http://store.steampowered.com/app/22500/

Feel free to add it to your wishlist and wait for a Flash sale or daily deal or something that gets you the DLC for a discount as well. I highly recommend it.

Thanks for the heads up will check it out.

i thought Steam says it does right in the page. someone linked a screencap.

That was their cart, not the AC pack. The pack doesn't come with Brotherhood Deluxe.

EDIT: The image shows normal brotherhood, but it IS IN FACT THE DELUXE VERSION. My bad.

 

[davidsaurus]

Rage is actually very fun. The gunplay is really satisfying and so is the driving stuff. The characters are pretty interesting, voiced dialogue is good, world looks pretty nice though not a huge amount of variety.

 

[Fuzzy]

Here's the update to the daily wallpaper gif. I decided to go smaller than I did before and I also sped it up to 1000ms per frame instead of 2000ms that I had before.

 

[Grimm Fandango]

Yes it does.

How broken is Kotor 1 on Win7?

It runs fine with the widescreen patch for me:

All you need?

Well Assassins creed pack price updated..its 34.99 now. Still iffy..feels weird spending over 10 bucks.

And just in time for the daily deal... Buy them all, jaja!
Made these for you, Assassin-bros:

I thought the possible endings were awesome, all of them

Spoiler

especially the one where Carth dies

 

[LiK]

ah i see

edit: ok, DE is included

 

[haikira]

To chime in on RAGE. It's a good game. But it feels like a movie, which is missing it's final reel. It doesn't have a bad ending. It has no ending.

It's a fun game and one that looks very pretty at times. But if you don't soak up the side content, it's also short.

 

[2San]

That's such a great deal, I'm not sure if I like the series enough to double dip though (I have AC2 and AssBro on PS3).

I'd look up the drm situation for each game though. This is ubisoft we are talking about.

 

[Train of Midnight]

I didn't think the performance was that bad, unless you're not on Team Green but I think they've long sense fixed the issues. Texture pop-in definitely exists but it didn't really bother me.

I've got a 560 Ti, 2500K, and 8Gb RAM. Didn't even have the settings maxed out and it was literally unplayable.

 

[KScorp]

Yes it does.

No it doesn't.

This one is not cart =p

Yes, and it's also not the deluxe version of brotherhood.

Edit: I'm an idiot and didn't read the little blurb above the game images. Sorry, it IS the deluxe version. :X

I think this is happening to a friend of mine, too.

Shogun 2: Fall of the Samurai is also part of the flash sale, though it doesn't link to it. Better discount than when it was on the daily.

 

[JaseC]

Ahh cool, I will buy the pack then, didnt know the PC version came with the Da Vinci pack.

Do you like Doom and/or Quake? Buy Rage. In true id fashion, the plot is paper-thin, the ending completely sucks, and there's not much to the vehicular gameplay, but the FPS action is utterly fantastic.

 

[CaptainSchwann]

Well, after only a few days I've spent about $175 on my first steam sale. Do I have a problem?

 

[Grimm Fandango]

No it doesn't.

"This pack includes, Assassin's Creed: Director's Cut Edition, Assassin's Creed II: Deluxe Edition, Assassin's Creed Brotherhood: Deluxe Edition and Assassin's Creed Revelations: Gold Edition"

What's the better game for someone who's never played Ys, Origin or The Oath in Felghana?

Oath in Felghana, no contest.

Ok, someone help me out. Which Assassin's Creed games do I buy? I've never played one.
