Ugh. It's been a few hours and I'm STILL debating whether I should pick up Skyrim Legendary now or wait some more. I have the vanilla edition and played a few hours of it upon release before dropping it for no real reason. I keep meaning to pick it back up, especially since I liked the modern Fallouts, but have never quite gotten around to it.

Also, is Hitman: Sniper Contracts worth the additional $1 over the base Hitman: Absolution?

Same here.

 

[Volimar]

There is no consensus.
I call it Asspollution, make of that what you will

After Splinter Cell Blacklist, I've got a stealth shooter itch.

Question. Age of Wonders III was one of the community choices that could have been voted for. The group it was in didn't win. Does that mean it still has a chance of coming up for a daily deal or flash? Or was that its only chance at having it's lowest discount and the standard one it has now will be it?

Will probably be a daily at some point

 

[SargerusBR]

What's the GAF consensus on hitman absolution?

Blood Money was a lot beter

If it's a game I want, you should make it givers. Unbiased opinion.

I agree with this person.

Where are all these Age of Empires 2 giveaways coming from all of a sudden?

 

[chixdiggit]

There's apparently much more of it, and what's there is of an appreciably higher quality.

It's still just a walking game though.

Ok Thanks. The mod was great but I think I'll hold out till winter sale.

After Splinter Cell Blacklist, I've got a stealth shooter itch.

I hope the newest Splinter Cell game goes on sale. Last game I'm really waiting on.

 

[chubigans]

how the fuck did green win so much suddenly? so is /v/ right after all? it's scripted?

If it was scripted it would be a heck of a lot closer than it is now.

It still has a chance.

Great. Thanks.

I've gotten so many nutshots in sniper V2. The enemy probably thinks I'm a disgruntled female sniper.

What's the GAF consensus on hitman absolution?

Wouldn't really say there's a consensus. I think it's a really fun game with incredible presentation that suffers from cutting out a lot of what made Contacts and Blood Money so great. It's similar to Silent Assassin in that there's a lot of missions where you're just going from place to place, rather than open sandboxes. The shooting feels great though and moving 47 around finally feels good. It's a really good base for the next Hitman games, which seems like a return to form.

Still, fun game worth playing. I put around 50 hours into it, and got every achievement. Plus Agent 47's perfectly rounded, bald head is a technical wonder.

Price error. Product description says it's just the DLC, but it's actually AoE2:HD and the DLC all in one.

That said, I don't know if this still works, and there's no way to tell until you actually put the code into Steam. Reddit's still reporting success but visit that thread first before you buy, if you're a straggler.

Very good deal, wish Steam would match that.

 

[Anustart]

I've never played an Age of Empires game. What's it like? I'm kinda interested in a strategy type game.

 

[kurahador]

I was browsing game recommended for me and came across a blast from the past.

Loved the Freddi Fish games as a kid. Suprised to see em' on steam.

Crap...I forgot about this game. Hope Humongous Complete Pack be on daily or something.

 

[MUnited83]

Very good deal, wish Steam would match that.

Hard to match what's essentially a mistake

 

[The Grim Heaper]

Hmm, pardon my ignorance, but... how do I add a custom amount of cash to my wallet using enhanced steam? When I go to add funds, an option for a custom amount never shows up.

EDIT: I'm using Firefox if that's an issue.

EDIT 2: Nevermind, got it! Had to update.

[Tellaerin]

It's obvious what's going on isn't it? The secret steam big spenders cabal have chosen green as today's victor. Tomorrow they will decide on another worthy colour (pink) and then bestow glory and virtue unto them before moving on to another colour the day after. On and on until the sale ends and the colours are banished to the night once more.

He probably misread it as "mecha-giver". Four times its happened this month.

 

[fernandes]

I think this lead is big enough. Time to craft a badge for that minuscule chance to win some free games.

 

[Duress]

How's Prison Architect? I've played a couple of sim games, but never really got into it?

 

[Vazra]

Didn't realize you were a mega-giver

67 games IIRC

 

[Rickenslacker]

The scores reset daily so a commanding lead doesn't bleed over to the next day. At some point there's just a collective giving up really, nothing conspiratorial about it. Green took an early lead and it would be better to sit this one out and craft badges for another day on other teams.

Skyrim Legendary Edition, Dragon Age Origins and The Witcher 2 should keep you busy for a while.

Went running earlier - wasn't paying as much attention as I should have. Landed hard with my foot in a pothole in the road and I rolled my ankle. Hurts like a bitch so now I'm walking around the house on crutches. However, it gave me a perfect opportunity to spend my evening gaming...

I finished episode 1 of The Wolf Among Us. Holy goats, this game is awesome. I'm not familiar with the book series(?) at all, but that doesn't really detract from the fact that this game oozes atmosphere. The writing was great, the voice acting is top notch. The_Monk tells me it only gets worse from here, so I'm lowering my expectations of the other episodes quite a lot. Still can't wait to play them though.

Ouch. Couple of years back I sprained my ankle just walking down the steps of my front porch. Never did heal quite right.

Yeah, unfortunately the subsequent episodes haven't been as good. However, they still have the same great atmosphere and music at least, so they're enjoyable.

It's really awesome, I liked it way more than the Walking Dead. Which reminds me, I still need to play episode 4. Not sure when the final one comes out.

Oh, and get better soon!

Yeah, that's the tricky part, I think. The modbot summary for that line should really say "in the last 3 months" if that's how Stump has it configured.
