well damn, does it work? I own them all.

No -- it was actually coming up as a negative price, but when you try to add it to the cart you get a "SORRY, WE COULDN'T ADD YOUR ITEM!" prompt. It was all set to charge me -29 cents too. :<

 

[nubbe]

Team Pink am best

 

[TronLight]

Buy it, it's a great action game.

I know, I already have it on PS3. But the superior PC version still tempts me.

 

[PBalfredo]

 

[Manabanana]

I literally am sitting with divinity in my cart, unsure if i would like this game in the slightest.

SOMEONE HELP!

Same here, although I feel like quitting anything resembling Diablo 3 after 5 minutes of playing it and going back to Diablo 3.

 

[Quikies83]

Banished is mine.

 

[Indignate]

I don't know but he/she has a real talent. I can't inspire the love of the people.

His talent was putting a chick as his avatar.

Real talk.

<3 you Dot.

 

[shiftplusone]

I got 10 bucks left..

trying to decide what I need to get out of:

FarCry Blood Dragon
XCOM Enemy Within
Stanley parable
endless space
skulls of the shogun
shadow run

or take my wife up on her offer of "If that age of wonders game is on sale again get that instead"

 

[Arren]

Man, that Metal Gear Rising is tempting me.

Same, I'm actually having to restrain myself from spending notable amounts of money in this one big final round...

By the way it's a shame A Realm Reborn didn't receive an encore discount, while titles like Fallout get a repeat for the umpteenth time.

 

[hitmon]

Banished sure is tempting.

 

[Gintoki]

Team red stay winning

 

[Kyou]

hm, I think I've got one more game purchase in me

 

[Copons]

Oh wow is this the moment we explicitly beg for gifts?

Spoiler

because I could use Metal Gear Rising and Banished k thx

 

[Sub Zero]

How do you get so much money for buying games and gifting!?!?! O_O

Had a garage sale last month, so I made a lot of extra money. Saved some of it for the summer sale and giveaways and the rest of it is going towards a GPU upgrade and my other hobbies. I'm not rich or anything

 

[SmithnCo]

Got my team pink badge. Wooo. Pink 4 lyfe.

 

[JaseC]

I've tried to change the server regions before, but have never seen speeds break 5 mb/s. I've found leaving it on the server closest to me gives the most consistent results.

Sounds like a connection issue. Valve can't throttle the per-user throughput of a server it itself doesn't operate.

 

[crazyrabbits]

I finished the sale off by getting Dishonored GOTY for 4 keys off TF2Outpost. Great deal, and a great haul this year. Just over $70 spent, and my backlog is already crying.

 

[~Kinggi~]

Time to head on over to the other great sales game list

 

[Sini]

#brag

I already own Black Flag on Uplay, so only thing I'm missing is Kerbal. Might as well buy it for the completionist feeling

Dammit.

 

[MadGear]

Man, that Metal Gear Rising is tempting me.

Me too. I successfully forced myself to wait for a bigger discount in an upcoming sale when it was on sale during Day 2(?) just to get tempted again.

Curse you Garry!

These encore deals are so mean, they just exist to toy with your insecurity about passing on certain deals ;/

 

[Escape Goat]

Yeah, I think that was in a flash yesterday.

Damn!

 

[Sarcasm]

On the server front, I'm mostly salty that they cap us at 5 megs down for downloads. I was very impressed with Origin's download speeds recently when I tried the Titanfall free weekend (thank god the speeds were high... 50 gig game is ridiculous). I mean I get that Steam has a much larger install base and 100x the games, but I wanna be able to use my high internet speeds :[

What is interesting is somehow I managed 75,b/s in origin..when I have like 12mb/s down.

 

[Crayons]

Anyone have recommendations for best early access games?

 

[zkylon]

really tempted for divinity but i'll wait

well damn, does it work? I own them all.

doesn't for me

 

[derExperte]

I literally am sitting with divinity in my cart, unsure if i would like this game in the slightest.

SOMEONE HELP!

How can we know without any further info about your gaming habits? For what it's worth the OT is full of excited people, many in here have bought/gifted it and as far as I'm concerned it's one of the most interesting games of the summer, maybe year.

 

[Mono]

Banished sure is tempting.

Same for me; I've heard great things about it!

 

[Li Kao]

Same here, although I feel like quitting anything resembling Diablo 3 after 5 minutes of playing it and going back to Diablo 3.

Butttttttt, Divinity is only similar to diablo on the presentation front. It has turn based combats. Think more Baldur's Gate.

 

[KenOD]

They want you to play the empty your wallet game!

Well if I must.

Soon, more Super House Of Dead Ninja giveaways.

 

[Finalow]

rip green team.

 

[rtcn63]

I would like... Saoirse Ronan to come to my apartment and gift me every game on my wishlist. And then choke me with a belt.

 

[dot]

I wonder how many gifts Dot woke up to after going to bed?

Believe it or not....none.

I don't know but he/she has a real talent. I can't inspire the love of the people.

It takes years of hard work.

His talent was putting a chick as his avatar.

Real talk.

<3 you Dot.

[NightmareTrigger]

Could someone please gift me

Spoiler

From another thread:

They're not. Origin fudges the numbers by calculating download speed using unpacked file size rather than download size. For example, if you downloaded a 200MB chunk at 2MBps but it unpacked to twice that size, Origin would say you're downloading at 4MBps because you've downloaded 400MB worth of data in that 100 seconds.

 

[Demon Lizardman]

Eh, Team Red stinks, Purple is the real nurple here fellas!

 

[KiraFA37]

Payday 2 discount has been corrected.

 

[iosefe]

How computer intensive is witcher 2 it's the only thing I can afford on today's deal

 

[Manabanana]

Also Payday 2 shows 67% on storefront but is actually 80% off for holdouts like me.

4-Pack anyone? $4.50 each, although I can't host but can pay.


1. Me
2. KiraFA37
3. earvcunanan
4.

 

[Tizoc]

So I just bought 2 games+1 pre-order game and I didn't get a card even though they totaled at $20. I mean I should've gotten 1 card at least because of the 2 games that are not pre-orders, but did Steam automatically lock me out of getting a card because of it?

 

[Volcynika]

I was a proud member of team purple

 

[Kaisersalsek]

my app store is working, my computer store is not. This is frustrating

 

[KiraFA37]

Count me in!

 

[FallingEdge]

F it. Gonna go for the DMC3/4 pack. No fear baybeeeee

 

[blackMamba1187]

Was really hoping next car game would come back after seeing this week's UPF on giantbomb. Current price is a bit too expensive for me. Oh well, there's always next time. Think I'll pick up Astrebreed instead.

 

[Prophane33]

Hey ya'll. I'm giving away 3 #3s, a #5, and a #10. Completely free -- though I'll also gladly trade for any football manager cards :-D

 

[The One Who Knocks]

From looking at the steam forums, 3 seems like a really bad port with terrible controller support. DMC4 sounds like a great port, with extra features and modes. I'm thinking of just grabbing 4, though I've never really played games of this type. (maybe 1 hour on DMC back on PS2 long time ago)

You absolutely should get four. Devil May Cry is very similar to Bayonetta in its combat mechanics (completely different to Ninja Gaiden, and Metal Gear Rising in its style) if you've ever played it, and the fourth game has an absolutely fantastic combat system. The near perfect combat system for the style is brought down by what I find rather poor enemy and level design, and a frustrating amount of 'padding' (this is kind of hard to explain without giving away what the second half of the game is), but it makes it an incredibly deep, fun game to play. It runs surprisingly well (my rather meagre laptop maintains a stable 60FPS+ which I was absolutely shocked by) and is quite clean from a visual perspective (it won't blow you away or be a showcase, but it's not ghastly to look at).

There will be a learning curve given that you've little experience with action games of its ilk, seemingly, but this is certainly going to be a good game to introduce yourself to the genre. Personally, I prefer Ninja Gaiden's style of combat to the 'juggling' of Bayonetta and Devil May Cry, but I know there are many who don't share this view (and despite being a preference, if you enjoy the genre I'm sure most are not going to be completely averse to another style of combat) and, as a result, this should not put you off the game in any fashion. If you put in some amount of time learning the mechanics, you'll have introduced yourself to a genre which carries with it a significant amount of freedom in playstyle and replayability. It certainly isn't for everybody, that much is true, but at the price it's at it's very difficult to consider it a catastrophic loss should you not actually like it (and even if this is the case, please don't let it put you off the genre as Rising and Ninja Gaiden in particular are quite distinct from each other, and from Devil May Cry's combat).
