Now that the sale is ending and things will get back to normal, want to say it was great meeting all you new Steam folks.

Hope you guys make your way over to the regular monthly Steam thread and join in on fun we have there. Having you guys join us would be great in addition to the awesome members already there.

Well, I guess it's about time for me to close the book on the Steam sale. Got a bunch of good deals, and had fun hanging out in these threads, but all things must come to and end. Maybe I'll try to keep up with the normal SteamGAF thread after this one closes.
 
Comrades, i need opinions. i am a man who doesn't know what he wants.

Looking at the following right now:
  • Rogue Legacy
  • Skullgirls (have on psn)
  • Long Live The Queen
  • LEGO Marvel Super Heroes
  • Worms Revolution Gold Edition
  • Portal 2 (have on psn)
  • Devil May Cry 4 (I tried GuardianE, i really tried your lotteries...)
Any other suggestions?



i'm also banking on this. o.o

If you have Portal 2 on PSN/PS3, unless you bought it used, it should have came with a code for Portal 2 on Steam, no?

YES YOU DO. SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST! RULES OF NATURE!
 
guys you know what I just realized? DmC only went on sale once(or if it did again I wasn't around). :( I was hoping to pick up Virgil's Downfall. Well, I guess I'll just leave the game installed till another sale once again.
 
So I think this sale was actually alright in format. I can appreciate Valve
trying some different things. Some worked (Community Vote 4 games v 1 game) and some...didn't (the whole team shitstorm).

The whole thing would be improved by a) removing the potential discounts from the community vote so people can't just vote the bigger numbers and b) random teams each day (or some iteration of that).

In regards to the threads....like almost every sale, this brings out the best and worst.

Good to hear.
Maybe I'll pick it up next time it goes on sale after all, even though it has ughplay.

I think it's pretty great from a value standpoint - you have an 8 hour-ish campaign, maybe 6 hours of relatively replayable co-op missions, and Spies vs. Mercs multiplayer. Keep in mind that it's a game definitely built on top of Conviction - same engine, same clunky cover mechanic, etc. The level design, with a few exceptions, is definitely more conducive to stealth than Conviction (no Iraq third person shooting level to be seen so far). A lot of the fun is comes from the wacky gadgetry - it's easier to count the gadgets that *don't* release sleeping gas in Blacklist, which is a good thing, imo.

Also - UPlay integration: it's unobtrusive, unless you want to invite a buddy to play multiplayer, then you're forced to use the awkward Shift+F2 combo to manage invitations and stuff.

Any of the DLC for Civilization V worth the money? Won a copy from a giveaway earlier (thanks again Instro!) And was wondering if the DLC was worth it enough and changes the game or adds a good amount of content. I'm down to probably get 1 DLC now and another at a later time during another sale or something.

FUCK YOU GUYS YOU'RE NOT HELPING.

OH FOR CRYING OUT LOUD, I'LL BUY IT, TO HELL WITH AVARICE, MORE MONEY FOR PLATINUM GODS.

It helps that I have 80cent in credits, better than nothing.

Good, good.
My problems with uplay are multiple, but I can try and work around them... I guess.
Let's see if I can even get back to my account.

So why aren't you guys buying Defy Gravity Extended? It's £0.18 for the game, drops 3 cards (of the 5 for the badge) and the cards sell for over £0.07 each at the moment.

I actually just made a profit of £0.04 just picking up the game :S

Despite my initial budget of $30, I spent just over $100 and nabbed a metric shit ton of games. Topped off my purchases with Borderlands 2 GOTY because why the hell not. The towering monument of my backlog signifies my dismal self control.

Brave New World is amazing and adds so much to the game it almost feels like a sequel than an expansion.
 
Alright, so I'm going to buy some keys for Divinity, any reason to buy the more expensive tf2 keys over dota keys? the trader I'm eyeing seems to want either, despite the ~60 cent difference, seems kinda strange.
